"Call God for protection."

Ryan turned his wrist and waved his wand gently.

Wisps of silver threads floated out from the top of the wand, continuously, and finally formed a hazy silver net in the air.

This mist emits a soft white light, making anyone who sees it smile unconsciously.

Ryan finally reluctantly used the God-calling Guard.

However, on top of this, no matter how hard he tried, he could not make these silver threads gather into a complete patron saint.

Ryan sighed and lifted the Patronus Charm.

Although Mrs. Marcia's experience gave him excellent inspiration, it was someone else's experience after all.

However, Ryan confirmed one thing, that is, the emotional foundation of the Patronus Charm is not just happiness, but also the belief in protecting others and living.

The latter is sometimes easier to trigger the Patronus Charm than happiness, because the most primitive motivation in life is survival.

Ryan practiced Occlumency for a while before going downstairs to bake two pieces of bread and browsing the nearest newspaper while eating.

The aftermath of the giant bear's collapse in the north finally spread to the British Isles, and almost all the newspapers after Christmas were talking about it.

This independence movement has begun in March last year. During this period, many small countries have withdrawn from the alliance.However, the remaining power of the giant bear still exists, and no one would have thought that this huge country would suddenly collapse overnight.

Of course, the insidious eagle in the west must be hindering this.

It won't be long before predators who smell the smell of blood will swarm in, carve up the carcass of this giant bear, steal their property, and take away the country's hard-earned foundation.

Ryan looked at the overwhelming reports in the newspapers and shook his head. The game between countries is so cold and ruthless.

And all the consequences will ultimately be borne by those living now and those living in the future.

He closed the newspaper and stopped reading the relevant content.

No matter how big the waves are in the north, it may take decades to know what the impact will be.At least, these international events have not yet interfered with the lives of Ryan's generation.

The newspapers in the wizarding world are quite peaceful. Apart from some beautiful official articles about some of the Ministry of Magic's unsatisfactory measures, the only tidbits written by Rita Skeeter are worth reading.

Ryan threw the Daily Prophet aside, took out the wizard chess given by Professor Flitwick, and entertained himself alone.

The gameplay of Wizard's Chess is very similar to that of chess, which makes people wonder which ancient wizard stole it from Muggles.

The interesting part is that the chess pieces have their own temperament, and you need to convince the chess piece to make it act.

Ryan is very interested in the method of making chess pieces. After returning to Hogwarts, he plans to go to the library to look for books related to alchemy, or directly ask Ravenclaw, because the skills of making chess pieces are obviously related to magic. The portrait is very similar to the Sorting Hat.

They all give part of their thoughts to an item.

After learning this craft, Ryan thought he could try to make a batch of interesting magic dolls.

He wrote the plan down on parchment.

You can ask Ravenclaw and Nico Flamel for alchemy-related matters, and you can ask Professor McGonagall for questions about transfiguration.

As for the related magic materials, Ryan touched his bulging wallet and found no problems.

After all, the price of wizard chess is not expensive, which means that there may not be much particularity in the materials used.

In the next few days, Ryan spent his vacation leisurely.

He still delivered three meals to Mrs. Marcia on time every day. The old lady also completely recovered her energy and happily talked about school affairs with Ryan every day.

Ryan had no choice but to combine his past life experiences and interesting school anecdotes Bach told when he taught in middle school, and compiled a whole semester's experience for Mrs. Marcia.

This made Ryan a little tired.

Ryan did not relax his magic practice. In addition to the Patronus Charm and Occlumency, he also finished reading the book on the principles of transformation given by Professor McGonagall.

The day before the holiday ended, Ryan went to the clinic to pick up medicine for Mrs. Marcia.This soothing medicine is commonly known as Paradise Water. It is imported from Arabia. Since it is a health product and not a prescription drug, the doctor readily gave Ryan a box.

Lane expressed frustration at the standard of Arab naming.

On January [-]th, after entrusting another neighbor with the task of taking care of Mrs. Marcia, Ryan got on the Knight Bus.

Instead of going directly to Hogwarts, he asked the driver to take him to King's Cross Station.

Justin was already waiting in the car.

"How was the holiday?" Justin seemed to have completely forgotten how ugly he was on Christmas night. "I was nagged by my mother throughout the holiday. Even after seeing a few of the spells I used, she still felt magical. Useless."

"I think things will change in my sophomore year," Lane said.

"I think so." Justin sighed, "When can we learn that powerful spell? I don't want to be nagged by my mother anymore."

"That may have to wait until the third grade, when there will be elective courses." Ryan replied.

"We have to wait another year." Justin grimaced, "I thought the magic spells learned in the second grade would impress my mother."

"It's not a powerful spell you need," Ryan said, adding in his mind, but a murderer of women named Gilderoy Lockhart.

At this moment, the door to the box was opened, and Hermione walked in with a frown.

Justin and Ryan were originally sitting across from each other, but when he saw Hermione with raised eyebrows, Justin immediately sat down next to Ryan, vacating the seat.

"Happy new semester, Hermione." Ryan greeted with a smile, "How was your vacation?"

"It's terrible." Hermione sat down and scratched her disheveled hair. "I searched the bookstores near my house and the Flourish and Blotts Bookstore in Diagon Alley, but there was still no result."

"What are you looking for?" Ryan asked knowingly.

Hermione hesitated for a moment, thinking about the consequences of revealing Nico Flamel's name and whether it would expose what Harry and the others were doing secretly. However, after weighing it, she still asked: "Ryan , have you heard of the name Nico Flamel?”

"Why are you suddenly interested in a name?" Ryan frowned and pretended to think for a while before asking, "Are you sure you have read every book?"

Justin's eyes flickered, and he keenly discovered Ryan's words.

After staying with Ryan for a long time, Justin can guarantee that he is already a "Liantong".

Thanks to being tricked occasionally and often watching Ryan trick people, Justin vaguely figured out the pattern of Ryan's speech.

Ryan knows the answer!He must know!

Justin suppressed his laughter and glanced at Hermione with an unintelligible side glance.

Ryan is a person who can deceive people with the truth and will never tell a lie.If he told lies, someone would be in trouble.

And if he neither tells the truth nor lies, then he is avoiding the question.

The best way to avoid a problem, or the Lane solution, is to ask another question.

Justin pursed his lips to suppress his smile and looked back at Hermione.

Suddenly I felt a sense of intellectual superiority.
