Chapter 270 Some Little Things
Time flies.
As Ryan, filled with doubt, headed to Snape's office with a fragmented potion recipe he had obtained from intelligence, several earth-shattering events still occurred in the wizarding world.
The first thing was that, under the direction of Ms. Fleur Delacour, the Daily Prophet published an article titled "An Investigation into the Current State of the Magician Wizards," which described heartbreaking human tragedies.
The report also included the story of a great mother who was willing to give everything for her child, only to be shamelessly exploited by an evil dark wizard. This sparked heated discussions throughout the British wizarding community, with many wizards writing to the Daily Prophet and the Ministry of Magic, demanding that dwarf wizards be treated properly—not out of equal concern for dwarf wizards, but simply out of a sense of kinship with other intelligent magical humanoid beings, the weakest form of compassion.
If it weren't for the text explaining that, with Ryan's help and the Ministry of Magic's cooperation, the mother and her child were out of danger and living healthy lives, the public's outcry would likely have been even stronger.
This is why Ryan and St. Mungo's Hospital receive numerous letters of gratitude from all over the world. Some emotional wizards believe that simple pen and paper cannot express their feelings and choose to use more extreme shouting letters to publicly execute Ryan as a form of recognition.
The second thing followed immediately after the first.
According to reliable sources within the Ministry of Magic, the incident began when Mr. Larvin, the Deputy Head of the Ministry of Magic, was moved to tears after reading "An Investigation into the Current State of Magical Wizards." He felt deeply inadequate in his work and ashamed to face the elders and folks of the wizarding world. So he slammed his fist on the table and joined forces with like-minded individuals to challenge the conservative old-school wizards. They finally won in the council and, together with the trustworthy wizards of Wizengamo, jointly introduced the "Magical Wizard Protection Act."
The hardships and obstacles encountered during this period are too numerous to explain to outsiders.
However, this bill was enacted during a period when the global wizarding community was facing economic hardship and frequent small-scale unrest, forcing wizards in other regions to call British wizards a beacon of civilization and a beacon of hope.
Especially on the vast African savanna, it has become a no-man's-land for wizards. Many low-level wizards, driven by the need to survive, secretly transfer to tribes, pretending to be native priests of a large tribe. Then, they lead the tribe to fight a couple of great battles, and then pledge allegiance to the powerful Muggle regime to start enjoying life.
Thus, it can be said that Larvin's name has been recorded in history along with the Magic Wizard Protection Act. As long as wizards still exist, Larvin's name will be remembered forever.
The third matter, not reported in the Daily Prophet, was a letter from the International Wizarding Federation to Ryan. Ostensibly, the letter inquired about a series of problems arising from the recent economic downturn in various regions, requesting Ryan's assistance. In reality, it concerned the unresolved issue of the heavy casualties suffered by fairies, which had led not only to wizard riots but also to fairy attacks, further straining the relationship between wizards and magical creatures.
Just three days after the letter arrived in Ryan's hands, he learned from various sources that three heinous incidents had occurred around the world, involving wizards and magical creatures. Although the cunning fairies would not easily step into the limelight, after the wizards used time travel magic and other methods to investigate, they were 100% certain that behind these magical creatures harming people, there were people called "fairies" behind it all.
In response, Ryan could only say that he was too young and inexperienced to give good advice, and that he was very grateful that the International Wizarding Association was willing to ask him for advice. He would do his best to find a solution in the future.
He pretended not to understand that the International Wizarding Federation wanted a powerful wizard of sufficient stature to step forward and calm the fairies down—in short, a threat of force.
Like the Potions classroom, the Potions professor's office was cold, damp, and dark. To make it easier for Snape to see, Ryan thoughtfully cast dozens of Illumination Charms to create orbs of light, making the room bright and dazzling.
"Where did you get this potion recipe?"
Snape, who had been studying the potion for a long time with a furrowed brow, was extremely curious. In his understanding, although Ryan had certain abilities in potion making, much better than the fools and good-for-nothings he had met, and knew how to use a lot of practice to improve his skills, the profound potion formula in his hand could not possibly have been written by Ryan.
Ryan had nothing to hide, since no one really understood the charlatan nature of prophets anyway. He said directly, "It was obtained through prophecy; I directly obtained this incomplete formula."
Snape froze. He had originally thought that it was from the relics of a wizard from the Classical period that Ryan had predicted would be unearthed.
Who can tell him what these prophets can actually predict?!
How could they even predict incomplete potion recipes?!
He originally intended to righteously support Ryan, declaring that he and the prophet were irreconcilable enemies and that he would never listen to the prophet's nonsense again.
However, the incomplete formula in hand was indeed profound, and no wizard aspiring to potion research could resist the temptation of such knowledge.
He moved his lips a few times before finally saying, "Put it here for now, I'll think about it."
"Are you sure you can handle it? If not, I'll go find Mr. Slughorn."
With the idea that "why not use it if it's free," Ryan planned to recruit two of the most outstanding potion scholars in the wizarding world to work for him for free.
Snape didn't even bother to look up, uttering a cold, curt statement: "Get out, and close the door."
Ryan pouted. "Getting angry. Getting angry."
He went outside to check on the progress of Professor Flitwick's ultimate spell development.
After all, during the last meeting, Professor Flitwick described this spell in a way that captivated everyone—a revolutionary and unimaginable power that required a vast amount of magic to activate, composed of at least a thousand spells.
But as soon as I got to the door of the Charms professor's office, I heard people talking inside.
"Felius, you also have goblin blood. You can't just stand by and watch them die! The entire goblin race is almost wiped out! Goblins in all over Gringotts have been killed or wounded, leaving only the old, weak, and disabled living in goblin settlements. And now, the International Wizarding Federation is still protecting the murderers and refusing to give the goblins a reasonable explanation!"
The aged voice inside sounded exceptionally sorrowful. Standing outside, Ryan could imagine an old fairy, tears streaming down her face, looking utterly helpless.
If these fairies hadn't been in such a sensitive position, and hadn't been using various methods to swindle money, causing some wizard families to be ruined and destroyed, he would have been willing to stand up for the fairies.
Nowadays, he can't find any redeeming qualities in the fairies other than adhering to the contracts mentioned on paper, though he wouldn't meddle in this matter anyway.
"Bowles, I'm just a professor, and I haven't been in contact with the fairies for a long time. You've come to the wrong person."
"
Flitwick clearly didn't want to get involved with fairies either. It was because he had been in contact with fairies when he was a child that he knew just how unpopular fairies were.
