Chapter 4106 4108 [Another Sin of Killing]

"Sif, have you moved?" Lily was surprised to see Xiang Nan's family move to her community.

"Yes." Xiang Nan nodded and smiled, "My mother and I are now making potions to make money, and my father has opened a bar, so our family has become rich, and naturally we don't live in Spider's End Alley anymore."

Spider's End Alley is a slum, and girls like Lily who often go in and out of that kind of place will be looked down upon. And Xiang Nan moved out of Spider's End Alley and moved to the same community, so there won't be too many problems.

"I see." Lily nodded.

"However, the public statement is that my mother inherited the estate of a distant aunt." Xiang Nan lowered his voice again.

Large amounts of funds must have a legal source, otherwise they may be targeted by the relevant departments at any time. It is for this reason that there is such a thing as "money laundering".

Although Xiang Nan's family's money is clean and earned by pots of potions, this reason cannot be told to the public after all. Fortunately, Gringotts has related services to help customers solve this problem, otherwise, it would be a big trouble.

Lily nodded in understanding, "Then congratulations on moving into your new home."

"Thank you." Xiang Nan smiled, "From now on, our two families will be neighbors. You are welcome to come to my house to play in the future."

"Sure." Lily also smiled.

...

For a period of time afterwards, Lily often came to Xiang Nan to play, practiced spells with him at home, brewed potions, and read magic books.

As the saying goes, living in a different place changes the spirit and nourishing the body. Now that Irene and Tobias have risen from the poor to the middle class, even the place where they live has changed, and their temper and recuperation have naturally improved.

Although Irene is naturally introverted and withdrawn, and unwilling to socialize, she is actually not bad in her heart. Otherwise, she would not be so submissive when facing domestic violence from her husband.

So although she is not very enthusiastic about Lily, she will not coldly reject her. Even when she is brewing potions, she will give Lily some pointers and teach her some skills in brewing potions.

Tobias now considers himself a middle-class gentleman, and he is not opposed to Lily coming to his home to play. And he is no longer an alcoholic, so naturally he will not scare Lily.

It is worth mentioning that after becoming rich, the Snape family's dress has also changed.

Before, the family wore old and ragged clothes, and they were poor and poor.

Now they have changed into new clothes. Although they are not luxury brands such as Burberry, Mulberry, and Dunhill, they are also high-end brand goods, and one piece costs sixty or seventy pounds.

For the middle class, this level of clothes is already very good.

The family moved to a new home and changed into new clothes, which gave people a very different impression. At least they were decent people. Xiang Nan was very satisfied with this change. Although he didn't care about food and clothing, who would complain that he lived a good life?

However, the neighbors still looked at the Snape family with tinted glasses because they moved from Spinner's End. They thought that even if they got rich, they were still nouveau riche with no taste, poor people from the slums.

Therefore, except for the Evans family who were close to them, others did not dare to have too much contact with them. Xiang Nan thought it was a good thing.

Because their family was not suitable for having too much contact with ordinary people. If they had too much contact, people would find something wrong with them. It was good to live their own lives in this way.

...

That day, Xiang Nan stayed at home, reading and brewing potions.

He was now brewing some more advanced potions such as love potion, truth serum, and polyjuice potion. These potions were extremely difficult to brew, and the price was naturally quite expensive.

For example, love potion, a small bottle costs four galleons. Truth serum, a small bottle costs six galleons. Polyjuice potion is even more expensive, a small bottle costs ten galleons.

Xiang Nan didn't brew them before, mainly because they were difficult, complicated, and took a long time to brew. But now he has time during the summer vacation, and his mother Irene is on the side, so he is ready to challenge the high difficulty and accumulate more experience.

In this way, when he returns to school, he can also try to brew these advanced potions. That will undoubtedly help improve his potion skills.

"Sever, look, another Muggle wizard was killed by the Death Eaters." At this time, Lily took a copy of the Daily Prophet and said to Xiang Nan.

Xiang Nan took the newspaper and saw that, as expected, the Death Eaters killed again. They killed the family of Samuel Smith, a wizard from Muggle origin. In addition to him, there was also his Muggle wife.

The bodies of the two were lying on the floor of his house, and above his house was the mark of the Dark Lord, a huge skull swallowing a snake.

"They are getting more and more crazy." Xiang Nan shook his head and said, "Before, they only killed Muggle wizards, but now they even kill their families."

"Yes, it's really terrible." Lily sighed.

"This is not the most terrible thing." Irene said at this time.

"What?" Lily said puzzled.

"The most terrible thing is the public opinion in the newspaper." Irene explained, "The Death Eaters have killed so many people, but there are not many condemnations in the newspapers, but more articles supporting them.

Obviously, their actions conform to the ideas of some bigwigs, so those bigwigs will help them create public opinion."

Xiang Nan immediately looked at her with admiration when he heard it.

Irene looked like a timid housewife, but she didn't expect that she had such insightful views.

Then again, this isn't surprising. Erin is the captain of the Gobstone team at Hogwarts, and Gobstone is similar to the Muggle marbles game, a game that tests both IQ and operation.

If Erin was stupid, she wouldn't be able to play Gobstone, let alone be the captain. It can be seen that she is actually very smart, which is why she gave birth to a genius like Snape.

"That means..." Lily said in surprise.

"Not only will the Death Eaters' power not be defeated, it may even develop further." Xiang Nan murmured.

Voldemort's claims are now supported by conservative pure-blood families in the wizarding world. Conservatives hope to use his hand to eradicate Muggle wizards and shock the wizarding world in order to safeguard the interests of pure-blood families.

Therefore, the more Muggles Voldemort killed, the more support he received from conservatives, allowing his power to further expand.

But Voldemort would not be willing to be someone else's lackey. After all, he always thought highly of himself and considered himself the descendant of Salazar Slytherin. How could he be subordinated to others and be driven around by others?

So when his power grows to a certain level, those pure-blood families will also suffer backlash. As Kingsley Shacklebolt said in Harry's Watch, "I would say 'Wizard First' is only a small step from 'Pure Blood First', and one step further from that is 'Death Eater'" First'."

That is, during the First Wizarding War, before Voldemort took control of the British wizarding world and revealed his true tyrannical nature, he was accidentally killed by Harry Potter.

During the Second Wizarding War, after he took control of the British wizarding world, even the Malfoy family recognized Voldemort's true nature and wanted to betray him, but they just did not dare to resist because of his power.
