Chapter 4138 4140【Promoted to prefect】


    At the end of June, Xiang Nan and others successfully completed their fourth grade studies and returned to London on the Hogwarts Express.


    ?In order to protect the Hogwarts Express, the Ministry of Magic also specially sent Aurors to guard each carriage to avoid attacks by Death Eaters, werewolves, trolls, etc.


    ?But fortunately everything is safe. Xiang Nan and others arrived at the station successfully, then went to the Leaky Cauldron and used Floo powder to return home.


    “It’s good to come back safely.” Irene hugged her son and said.


    It has been very busy outside recently, with Voldemort, Death Eaters, werewolves, trolls, vampires... all making her worried.


    “Mom, don’t worry, the Death Eaters don’t dare attack the Hogwarts Express.” Xiang Nan said with a smile.


    "That''s hard to say." Eileen waved her hand. "What they did was actually too evil. Grindelwald''s Wiccan Party is much kinder than them."


    ?Although Grindelwald launched the Global Wizarding War, many wizards and Muggles died as a result. But Grindelwald and the Wiccan Party will not torture ordinary wizards.


    ?But Voldemort and Death Eaters like to kill Muggles and Muggle-born wizards. They are not killing people, just for fun.


    ?So in terms of the degree of evil, Voldemort and the Death Eaters are far superior to Grindelwald and the Wiccan Party.


    "Don''t worry, even if they come, I''m sure to protect myself." Xiang Nan took out his wand and said, he was eager to compete with the Death Eaters.


    "Don''t be stupid, you are no match for them." Irene said quickly.


    "Don''t worry, I''m just talking." Seeing her worried look, Xiang Nan also smiled quickly.


    In fact, he is really not afraid of Death Eaters, and he is not even afraid of Voldemort.


    Because Voldemort knew magic, and he knows it now. But the martial arts he knew, Voldemort didn''t know.


    ??Now there is only one thing Xiang Nan fears about Voldemort, and that is his Horcrux.


    If his Horcrux cannot be destroyed, then Voldemort will come back even after he dies, just as disgusting as the invincible Xiaoqiang.


    Xiang Nan plans to search for his Horcrux after he graduates.


    When all five pieces are put together, it will be Voldemort''s death.


    …


    July, attacks from outside continued unabated.


    ?The newspapers reported news of wizards and Muggles being killed every few days. Either Muggles were massacred, or wizards were ravaged.


    ??Although the Ministry of Magic sent Aurors everywhere to plug the leaks, they never saw any results.


    The killing and destruction continued, while people gradually lost hope.


    Previously, people thought that the Ministry of Magic''s attitude was not tough enough and allowed Voldemort and the Death Eaters to cause destruction, so they were so arrogant and domineering.


    ??As long as the Minister of Magic is changed and the appeasers are replaced by hardliners, clowns like Voldemort and Death Eaters can be swept away like a strong wind sweeping away fallen leaves.


    ??But now the new Minister of Magic has been in office for half a year and has taken a lot of tough measures. Aurors even work overtime every day to hunt down Voldemort, Death Eaters, werewolves, trolls, and vampires.


    Although it is not said to be completely useless, it does not have much effect.


    From this, people saw the incompetence of the Ministry of Magic and realized that even if they replaced the new minister, it would be impossible to reverse the overall situation. Therefore, people naturally became more and more disappointed and fearful.


    …


    In order to prevent their home from being attacked, Irene and Xiang Nan specially set up a protective spell at their home, which not only prevented wizards from intruding, but also triggered an alarm in time if someone invaded.


    ?In addition, Irene also helped Lily and her family place protective spells to protect the safety of their family of four. Robin, Mary, and Penny were all worried about this.


    They originally thought it would be interesting for their daughter to become a wizard. I didn''t expect the wizarding world to be so terrifying, much more chaotic than the Muggle world.


    ?Had they known this, they would not have let their daughter go to school.


    "How about we not go to school?" Robin discussed with Lily.


    "Uncle, Hogwarts is the safest place. It is protected by countless ancient magics, and Albus Dumbledore, the most powerful wizard in the world, is sitting there. Nothing will happen." Xiang Nan explained.


    "On the contrary, the real danger is if she stays at home. They specialize in killing wizards from Muggle families. If she stays at home, no one can protect her. Even if the police guard your home 24 hours a day, they can''t protect her." We can''t live with those people." Xiang Nan explained, "They have many ways to enter your home and kill Lily, so we can only let her go to Hogwarts, where she is the safest."


    "How could it be like this..." Robin was a little collapsed.


    Mary also blamed herself.


    ?Penny was also worried for her sister.


    A few years ago, she was jealous of her younger sister''s talent, but was later persuaded by Xiang Nan to stop being jealous.


    But in the past two years, watching Xiang Nan''s family become rich due to magic, she gradually became jealous again. But now she doesn''t think so anymore.


    It turns out that magic is not only fun, but also dangerous and terrifying, and may lead to death at any time. She really didn''t want to learn magic at all and wished she could stay as far away as possible.


    …


    In mid-July, Xiang Nan received a letter from Dumbledore.


    ?His wolfsbane potion has been tested and can indeed help the werewolf stay sane after transforming on a full moon night.


    This shows that his wolfsbane potion was successful and really effective.


    Dumbledore congratulated him and said that if Xiang Nan agreed, he would recommend him to "Practical Potions Master".


    ?This is the most authoritative potion journal in the wizarding world. Only the top potion papers can be published in this journal.


    ? ? Xiang Nan was still a fourth-grade student, and it was really incredible that he could develop such a magic potion and have it published in such a journal.


    Xiang Nan naturally would not refuse Dumbledore''s kindness. He immediately wrote to Dumbledore, expressing his willingness to have his formula published in "The Practical Potion Master".


    …


    In August, Xiang Nan and Lili received a notice from the school, informing them of the books to be prepared for the new semester and the start time.


    They were also promoted to male and female prefects respectively by the school and received corresponding badges.


    Lily''s badge is the lion representing Gryffindor. The color is gold and red, with a capital "P" in the middle, which represents the prefect''s English initials (praepostor).


    Xiang Nan''s coat of arms is an eagle representing Ravenclaw. The color is bronze and blue, with a capital "P" in the middle.


    Irene was very happy to see her son become a prefect.


    “This is the first step to success. In the future, I may become the President of the Student Union, and then successfully enter the Ministry of Magic, and maybe even become the Minister of Magic.” She said excitedly.


    She failed to become a prefect of Slytherin, which was a great regret for her. Unexpectedly, her son helped her realize her wish. Prefect of Ravenclaw, this is not something ordinary people can do.


    Xiang Nan couldn''t bear to crush her dream, but he didn''t want to be the Minister of Magic at all. The Minister of Magic doesn''t have much power and does a lot of shit, so he doesn''t bother to do it.
