"Okay, but there must be some kind of magic in this shop window."

"Look, even now, this Hidebehind hasn't become invisible in front of us." Before leaving, Ron carefully touched the shop window.

If Ginny hadn't pulled him away, he probably would have stayed there a little longer, or even gone inside to take a look.

According to Ron, "There are Hidebehind in the shop window, and maybe even Thunderbird inside!"

Amid Ron's grumbling, the three continued walking towards the library.

Meanwhile, in the library, Ryan squinted.

He never imagined that any creature could see the hidden magic he had cast on Harry and the others.

Even if this magic was just something he created on a whim before the moon landing.

"It seems even my wizarding intuition can be misleading."

"Indeed, no wizard could find Harry and his companions."

"But the Hidebehind isn't a wizard," Ryan thought.

However, this did not surprise Ryan.

In the original timeline, the Britain Ministry of Magic would later add Hidebehind to the category of XXXX (dangerous/requires specialized knowledge/skilled wizards to deal with).

Phoenix is also a member of XXXX (Phoenix is only classified as 4X because of its low aggression).

Care of Magical Creatures possess powers that wizards cannot attain.

Just like the Phoenix's immortality, the ability of the Hidebehind to conceal itself is something that wizards can only dream of.

For example, the Niffler, which is classified as XXX (a capable wizard can handle), was a source of trouble for Grindelwald, a Demigod Wizard.

Ryan suddenly realized that if he didn't have a control panel, imitating the abilities of Care of Magical Creatures could be a way out.

Most of the Care of Magical Creatures are beings that degenerate from wizards who have lost control and their Wisdom.

How could something achieved by abandoning omnipotence be simple?

"Ryan!" Ron's voice reached Ryan's heart from not far away.

Ryan looked up and saw Ron and the others staring at him in surprise.

"Oh, you've come." Ryan waved his wand, and Ron and the others' transparent bodies immediately returned to normal.

Drink, drink, drink.

Ron clutched his neck. He had only just gotten used to not breathing, and the restored respiratory system and his mouth, which could open and close, made him feel extremely uncomfortable.

Harry and the others were the same, but unlike Ron, they didn't deliberately get used to not breathing, so they were fine.

"We won't be discovered, will we?" Ron said in a low voice after recovering.

Unlike Harry, he had never experienced being ignored by everyone in this situation.

"No, we're just like Ryan normally, no one will be able to spot us," Harry said confidently.

He'd tried that feeling many times before.

"So, were you there this morning?" Ginny's square face turned as red as a monkey's bottom as she recalled the scene of her catching up on sleep with Harry in bed.

Although their relationship was purely platonic and they didn't do anything, at most they would hug and cuddle.

But in front of someone she didn't know very well—

"Ryan, you're not really here, are you?" Harry looked at Ryan suspiciously.

As can be seen from the numerous training sessions Ryan has undergone, including the Snape version of Vampire and the Vampire Bride version of his mother, it's clear that Ryan is actually a very cunning guy.

"Maybe, you can pretend I'm not here." Ryan's lips curled up.

Harry and the others' uneasy expressions pulled him away from the slight annoyance of his magic having just been discovered by a Hidebehind.

Aren't you going to read?

"It's already 4 o'clock. I have to go back before dinner. I don't know when you'll be able to come here again," Ryan reminded him.

"Harry knows this best." Harry nodded upon hearing this.

Just like how he went to Atlantis last school year and never went back.

He had begged Ryan countless times to go to Atlantis again.

But Ryan ignored him.

"It's 4 o'clock?"

"How can we not be hungry?" Ron thought of his own stomach.

Keep in mind that he hadn't eaten lunch. On a normal day, he would have been starving, but he was surprisingly energetic during his journey today.

"My magic is not that simple; it also allows you to not need to eat."

"If it's not dispelled in time—then you'll become real ghosts." Ryan said with a wicked grin, watching Ron's face grow paler as he spoke.

"You're kidding, right?" Ron said, his face covered in a cold sweat.

"Maybe." Ryan shrugged.

"Alright, you have 1 hour and 55 minutes left." Ryan glanced at his watch.

"Wait a minute," Harry stopped Ginny, who was about to go find a book, "Ryan, do you have any book recommendations that are suitable for us and that we can't find on Earth?"

"Clever."

"You can take a look at this book— the Forging of a Mighty Heart." As soon as he finished speaking, a book that seemed to be forged from flesh and blood and was constantly pulsating appeared in Ryan's hands.

"This in itself allows you to utilize the magic residing in your heart."

"This also contains the secret to how James Stuart, this Muggle, was able to live to be over a hundred years old," Ryan said, as Harry, standing beside him, pursed his lips and took the strange book.

"And what about me?" Ginny asked curiously.

"You?"

"The Book of Bats —it meticulously categorizes the magic that wizards have bestowed upon bats."

"You can choose the part that suits you best—after all, you're best at the Bat-Bogey Hex —to conjure up winged monsters to attack others." Ryan's words caused Ginny's nonchalant face to show a look of astonishment.

"What's wrong with you?" Ginny couldn't help but take a few steps back.

A giant bat Accio towards her and eventually transformed into a black book that appeared to be made from bat skin.

"I am not omniscient, I only know what I know," Ryan said with a mysterious smile.

"Well, Ryan, I'm better suited to watching—" Ron stammered, looking at Ryan.

"This one, 'The Magic of Emotions'."

"It does not teach how to manipulate other people's emotions."

"On the contrary, it teaches you how to attach your unnecessary emotions to magic to produce unexpected effects."

"This is perfect for impulsive guys who are easily swayed by momentary feelings." Ryan waved his hand casually, and an ordinary-looking book floated in front of Ron.

"Why is mine so ordinary?"

"I won't act impulsively!" Ron muttered to himself as he opened the book and began reading it with great eagerness.

"Not bad, as expected of Ravenclaw." Ryan looked at the three who were all quietly reading and nodded.

Harry even conjured a stack of parchment, and the contents of the book seemed to come alive, splitting and jumping onto the parchment in his hand.

Now that Ron and his friends have Ravenclaw, they have long been influenced by the atmosphere of the house.

If it were the three people from the original timeline, they wouldn't have the patience to read the book.

Harry didn't have the skill to copy books either.
