Chapter 4149 4151【Tell the truth】


    In September, Hogwarts starts school.


    Xiang Nan and Lily were jointly promoted to presidents of the Male and Female Student Unions.


    This year will also be their last year in school, and they will face the NEWT exam at the end of the semester, which is the advanced wizard level exam.


    If you can achieve good results, it will be helpful for future employment.


    ?Departments or institutions such as the Ministry of Magic, Hogwarts, the Daily Prophet, and St. Mungo''s Hospital of Magic all have requirements for employees'' NEWT scores.


    There are of course exceptions. For example, after the Second Wizarding War, students who participated in the Battle of Hogwarts could skip the NEWT exam and directly receive Auror training.


    ?There are also people like George and Fred, who dropped out of school in sixth grade and started their own joke shop.


    Xiang Nan is not as rebellious as them, and is still preparing to take the NEWT exam.


    ??And he spent most of his time developing new magic props and anti-spell equipment.


    ??For example, a two-way mirror can be used for video calls. As long as two people hold the mirror and say the right code words, they can see each other, just like a video call.


    ?This prop has become very popular after its launch, and its sales volume is better than that of communication parchment. Because it allows everyone to see each other, which is similar to face-to-face communication. Compared with communication parchment, it is on a higher level.


    In this way, video connections can be made between family members, friends, and lovers. It is really convenient, so its sales are very good.


    In terms of anti-curse equipment, Xiang Nan used his imagination and had a sudden idea. After many experiments, he finally developed an anti-curse cloak that can prevent Avada Kedavra.


    ?This kind of anti-spell cloak can cast the Bird Curse, which will spew out a large number of birds when the time comes. Avada''s Kedavra can only take away one life at a time. When the Kedavra hits the bird, the magic power disappears, and the person can naturally escape.


    As soon as this kind of anti-curse equipment was launched, the Ministry of Magic immediately ordered 500 sets. Other wizards also rushed to buy it. Some scalpers even sold it at high prices, with a cape selling for up to fifty Galleons.


    …


    It’s Christmas time.


    ??Lily returned home for the holidays, and when she came back, she told Xiang Nan that Petunia had met a very compatible boy, Vernon Dursley, at the Granning Company.


    He is very talkative, well-informed, and very capable. He has already become the director of the company at a young age, which is very impressive.


    Vernon also fell in love with her at first sight and has dated her several times.


    They both felt good.


    After hearing this, Xiang Nan felt happy for Penny.


    In fact, Vernon is a very good husband. He works hard, truly loves his wife and his son. Husbands like him are rare.


    ??Even though he was not good to Harry, to be honest, no one would be happy if he suddenly became a burden. It was a good thing that he didn''t abandon Harry to an orphanage for Petunia''s sake.


    Many people will inevitably become depressed or even angry when taking care of their children.


    Of course, Vernon is not a saint. Instead, he is very philistine, vulgar, selfish, and mean. However, every broken pot has its own broken lid. He is actually a perfect match for Petunia, who is also vulgar, philistine, mean, and selfish.


    …


    ?After Christmas, Xiang Nan also noticed that Regulus Black had a Dark Mark on his left arm.


    ??Although he concealed himself very well and kept his left arm hidden in his robe so that no one could see it, Xiang Nan couldn''t resist seeing it through his eyes, so he still saw it at a glance.


    Xiang Nan also knew that during this Christmas holiday, Regulus officially became a member of the Death Eaters.


    This made him sigh.


    In fact, Regulus is very smart and good at learning. Although he is a bit extreme and stubborn, he is not a bad person. Just like little Barty, he is another child who has gone astray.


    It''s just that little Barty has been overturned by him. He is now involved in the development of so many anti-spell equipment and magic props. His name is on many patents, and he has saved many people.


    ?This has also made him a celebrity in the magical world. Although he is not as good as Xiang Nan, he is also a rising star that everyone admires.


    Because of this, Old Batty is very satisfied with his son, and the relationship between father and son is now very harmonious. For the time being, there is no possibility that Barty Crouch Jr. will turn black.


    But Regulus was different.


    The relationship between him and Xiang Nan was tense when he first met.


    ?Later, after he was recruited into the Slug Club by Professor Slughorn, Xiang Nan tried to reconcile, but was rejected by Regulus.


    He admired Voldemort very much, so he was very dissatisfied with Xiang Nan.


    ?Afterwards, when Xiang Nan was developing anti-curse equipment and magic props, he also tried to invite him to join, but he dismissed it at all. So Xiang Nan failed to bring him back and could only watch him go astray.


    "I hope I can destroy Voldemort''s Horcrux before you do." Xiang Nan thought to himself.


    ?As the saying goes, a prodigal son never pays back for his sins. Regulus knew that those who repented and used their own lives to atone for their sins were really worth saving.


    …


    Time came to June, Xiang Nan and others took the newt exam.


    After the exam, Xiang Nan received an owl message from Eileen, urging him to come to Australia for reunion as soon as possible.


    Xiang Nan wrote back to her, saying that he still had some things to do and would go to Li''an, Australia as soon as possible to reunite with the couple.


    Then, he went to find Professor Dumbledore, and took the route led by Professor McGonagall.


    "Sev, what do you want from me?" Dumbledore looked at Xiang Nan and asked with a smile.


    Xiang Nan did not speak, and silently took out a human head from the storage bag.


    Dumbledore was slightly startled, looked at it carefully for a moment, and then said in surprise, "Is this the werewolf Fenrir Greyback?"


    The portraits of all the previous principals were hung in the principal''s office. They all woke up and looked at Xiang Nan in surprise.


    Xiang Nan nodded and told him how he imprisoned Fenrir in the Room of Requirement and used it to practice magic and experiment with potions.


    ?However, in order to avoid trouble, he did not say anything about practicing Druid Transfiguration, and postponed Fenrir''s death until this year.


    "I didn''t even know you actually did these things in school. I thought you just used the herbs in the school storage room to make potions." Dumbledore said in surprise.


    “What a bold boy~”, “He probably broke more than a hundred school rules.”, “He was able to catch the Wolf King Fenrir in the second grade. It’s amazing~”


    Xiang Nan smiled sheepishly. He had indeed gained a lot of money from Hogwarts over the years.


    "But it''s a good thing to get rid of Fenrir. This werewolf has killed many people." Dumbledore agreed.


    "Thank you, principal." Xiang Nan nodded, and then took out another item from the money bag—Ravenclaw''s crown.


    “This is...” Dumbledore was shocked again.


    ?He picked up the crown with trembling hands. It was indeed the crown left by Rowena Ravenclaw according to legend.


    ?It is exquisite and exudes the vicissitudes of ancient times. It is a true antique and an unparalleled treasure.


    It has been lost for nearly a thousand years, and I did not expect it to reappear today.


    Dumbledore couldn''t believe his eyes.
