The Shopkeeper of All Worlds in the British Wizarding World

Chapter 162: The Society and Nature's Favor (Please subscribe, collect, and vote)

After lunch the next day, Ryan and Hermione went to Professor Sprout to register for a club. There weren't many clubs in Hogwarts. Ravenclaw and Slytherin might have some research clubs, but the only club Ryan knew about in Gryffindor was the Quidditch team.

This is entirely due to the strict management of Hogwarts, because the students of Hogwarts account for at least 80% of the young wizards of the same age in the whole UK. In other words, anything here may affect the future of the British wizarding world.

This is why when Harry was caught in his fifth year for forming a club that was not recognized by the school, Dumbledore even had to pay the price of leaving the school to save Harry's freedom.

Indeed, there was a conflict between the school and the Ministry of Magic, but it also showed that establishing a club was very important, and establishing an illegal club was more serious than just violating school rules.

Ryan always thought that the strictness was probably because something had happened in Hogwarts before. For example, more than half a century ago, a young wizard born in an orphanage secretly organized a group of followers. Later, this fan club organization became the Death Eaters that were feared in the wizarding world. And that young wizard also became the second generation of the Dark Lord Voldemort.

After this lesson, Hogwarts naturally strictly controlled all student organizations. Because the lesson was so painful, it is even exaggerated to say that the establishment of the Death Eaters caused the British wizarding world to sacrifice a generation.

This also caused Ryan and Hermione to feel a little uneasy when they applied for the reading club together. After all, they were preparing to set up an organization that smuggled goods. If you ignore the different motivations, they are very similar to the Death Eaters of the past.

After knocking on Professor Sprout's door, the professor in his house robe opened the door for them. After seeing Ryan and the others, the professor asked curiously, "Why don't you take a lunch break at this time of the day? Why are you here?"

"Professor, we would like to apply to you to set up a club." Hermione stepped forward and said.

"Oh? Club, what kind of club do you want to establish? What is your reason for establishing the club?" The professor immediately became serious after hearing Hermione's words.

"We want to set up a reading club to exchange learning experiences with each other." Ryan said according to what had been discussed in advance.

"Because we were exposed to a lot of new knowledge during this visit to Castro Brussels, we encountered many difficulties in the learning process. However, these difficulties were gradually solved through our mutual discussions. So the two of us thought that if we could bring together people who are willing to communicate and use everyone's wisdom to solve problems, would the learning efficiency be improved and we could also learn more knowledge through communication."

"Well, that's right. I think your idea is very good. As far as I know, there is a similar organization within Ravenclaw, but they never accept people from other colleges. It's a good thing that you are willing to become an inter-college academic exchange organization."

"I will write a letter of recommendation for you now, and then you can write down the content and reasons for establishing the club and send it to Headmaster McGonagall. I think if there are no unexpected events, you will be approved this week."

After leaving Professor Sprout, Ryan and the others sent a letter to Professor McGonagall, and then they entered a long wait.

Fortunately, within a week they received a reply from Professor McGonagall approving the establishment of the club. This was much easier than they thought. "I thought this permission would not be approved." In the library, Hermione said to Ryan holding Professor McGonagall's reply. "After all, we asked several seniors, and they all said that it is difficult to establish these clubs."

"We are overthinking things. To put it bluntly, a club is an organization where people with the same hobbies get together to communicate. As the first and second place in the final exams for two consecutive years, it is normal for us to set up a club related to study. Moreover, such a club will not involve anything bad in terms of content. Not to mention that Professor McGonagall, as the dean of our college, will definitely show us some mercy."

"So now that it's been approved, you need to organize the information quickly to avoid being in a rush when the time comes." Hermione reminded Ryan with some concern.

"Don't worry, I'm keeping an eye on this matter. Nothing will go wrong."

Ryan seemed to be much busier in the days that followed. After all, in addition to daily study and communication in the Emerald Dream, he also had to summarize a set of teaching materials needed by the club. Fortunately, Ryan could quickly recover from fatigue through the Emerald Dream, which allowed him to persist in this busyness.

Now in the Emerald Dream, Ryan has been discussing with his peers around the totem pole, exchanging experiences and knowledge. The professor of herbal medicine, nicknamed Old Bark, only appeared once, and disappeared in a hurry after showing up. A student who had a good relationship with him said that because the professor was busy with scientific research recently, he had no energy to come here to teach students.

The knowledge exchanged last time was indeed very important to the professor, Ryan thought to himself after learning about the professor's current situation. After all, what the professor lacked was long-term and large-scale observation records, which could only be accomplished with a large amount of manpower, material resources, and time. The knowledge exchanged between the two sides last time was indeed similar, but in addition to the knowledge itself, what Ryan brought out could also help the professor save a lot of money and time.

Last time, when Principal Fernande was a witness, he guaranteed that Ryan would gain something other than knowledge and would not suffer any loss here. However, the promised compensation has not been paid yet, and I don't know what will happen in the end.

But for Ryan, the most important knowledge was already in hand, and the principal would not lie to him about money or honor. So Ryan was quite indifferent to the compensation. This made the principal a little embarrassed, and he once again made a promise during the last gathering in the Emerald Dream.

When Ryan entered the Emerald Dream this time, he was thinking about these things. The six students began to discuss the issue of Nature's Favor. Suddenly, a girl wearing a hollow mask asked Ryan: "Um, do you have Nature's Favor?"

"Nature's Favor, what is that?" Ryan asked in confusion. "Sorry, you know I'm a foreigner, I don't quite know what the term Nature's Favor means."

"Oh, sorry. You speak Spanish so fluently that I forgot you were from England." The girl thought about it and made a special gesture with her hand. A small green vortex opened up, and a small tree half a person's height came out from it.

"Look, this is a nature pet." The girl said proudly. "It is a pet that can accompany you into the Emerald Dream and play a special role here. For example, my tree man is usually just a potted plant in a flowerpot, but in the Emerald Dream, it can transform into a tree man several meters tall and fight and adventure with me. Of course, some people's nature pets are animals, and they can interact more in the real world. But the disadvantage is that they are not as compatible with the environment in the Emerald Dream as plants."

"Oh, that's it. I have it too." After watching the young lady's demonstration and figuring out what Nature's Favor was, Ryan gave an affirmative answer.
