Chapter 4120 4122 [Causing Public Outrage]
Xiang Nan then left the Room of Requirement.
"Sever, are you okay? I heard you had a stomachache?" Lily Evans asked with concern after seeing him.
"I'm fine." Xiang Nan waved his hand. "It should be that when I was making the potion, I accidentally got some toad mucus on my hands and didn't wash it off.
As a result, I accidentally touched the food while eating. The food went into my stomach, causing mild poisoning. I have made the antidote for myself, and now I'm fine."
"That's good, you must be careful in the future." Lily nodded.
"Don't worry, I understand." Xiang Nan smiled.
In the next two days, he found mice, beetles, venomous snakes, bats, geckos, black fish, otters, owls and other animals, carefully observed them, and then tried to transform into them.
And every time he transformed, Xiang Nan had to endure great pain again, being flattened and rounded by a pair of invisible hands, and reshaped. It can be said that every time was worse than lingchi.
But he still gritted his teeth and persisted. Because for him, the more forms he changes, the less likely he is to be discovered, and the higher the chance of survival.
Because traditional concepts believe that an Animagus can only have one form when it changes. This has become a fixed mindset, so no one knows that Xiang Nan will change into multiple animals.
So even if one of his forms is exposed, he can still have other vests, which naturally increases his chance of survival.
...
Time soon came to the Christmas holiday, and Xiang Nan still did not plan to go home this year.
On the one hand, the holiday lasted for twenty days, so he could read a lot of books during such a long time;
On the other hand, he did not miss home too much. Especially now that Tobias and Irene have restored their relationship, he does not need to go home even more.
After all, to put it bluntly, they are not his real parents, and he is not worth having them.
However, Xiang Nan still thanked him for bringing back a thousand gold galleons.
In fact, he only earned less than 200 galleons in three months.
Because he spent most of his time practicing Druid Transfiguration and using Fenrir to brush up his spellcasting experience, which squeezed out a lot of time for boiling medicine.
But Xiang Nan still asked Dafu to take back a thousand gold galleons.
Anyway, he had a lot of money in his pocket. Not to mention the money he won in the casino, he got more than three thousand gold galleons when he punished the old witch last time.
In the Quidditch match before Christmas, Ravenclaw played against Gryffindor. As a result, Ravenclaw lost to Gryffindor and lost the game by 20 points, which made many students of Eagle Academy depressed.
It is worth mentioning that in the second week after the start of school, Gregory and Benjamin both participated in the player selection of Ravenclaw Quidditch team, and as expected, they were all eliminated.
In Xiang Nan's opinion, both of them had poor flying skills and were not sensitive enough.
James Potter successfully joined the Gryffindor Quidditch team and served as the seeker. The golden snitch that determined Gryffindor's victory was successfully caught by him.
He also became famous overnight and became a celebrity in Gryffindor College.
...
During the Christmas holidays, since there was no need to go to class, Xiang Nan spent every day in the Room of Requirement, either using Fenrir to gain spellcasting experience or practicing Druid Transfiguration.
After persistent practice, he can now cast Legilimency on Fenrir without the help of a wand.
This is a big improvement for him, proving that his Legilimency ability has greatly improved.
But eye contact is still required. So if you cast Legilimency on others, it is still easy for others to detect it.
When you can cast Legilimency without eye contact, then it will be really hard to guard against.
Just like in "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them", Queenie Goldstein is a natural Legilimency master, she can cast Legilimency on others at will without eye contact.
If it weren't for her big mouth and her love of speaking out the thoughts she read, it would not be noticed at all.
In addition, his druid transformation skills have also improved greatly, and the types of transformations he can make have increased to more than a dozen, including swifts, mice, venomous snakes, bats, otters, bees, etc.
…
On Christmas, Xiang Nan received gifts from Tobias and Irene.
Tobias gave a pair of calfskin shoes, and Irene gave Xiang Nan a basket of candies.
In January, the new semester started.
On January 9th, Xiang Nan’s birthday, Lily gave him a beautiful bookmark as a gift.
She knew that Xiang Nan liked reading, so she gave him this gift.
Xiang Nan was naturally very happy to receive this gift.
The gift is not expensive or cheap, the key is a thought.
On January 30th, Lily’s birthday, Xiang Nan gave her a self-developed beauty ointment that can protect the skin, beautify the face, and moisturize.
Lily will be thirteen years old after her birthday. A thirteen-year-old girl already loves beauty.
So Lily was also very happy to receive this gift.
…
During this period of time, Voldemort was making trouble again.
Although with Xiang Nan's help, Woody Majors may have escaped. Because Xiang Nan never saw the news of his murder in the Daily Prophet.
But others were not so lucky.
During the Christmas holidays, the Death Eaters attacked two Muggle wizard families and killed a total of six people.
This caused strong dissatisfaction among the Muggle wizards.
Because Voldemort is killing more and more people. Before, it was just Muggle wizards, but now he doesn't even spare the wizards' families.
Before, he killed at most one or two people, but now he has killed six people. Will he kill ten people next time? Will he kill twenty people the next time?
There are only a few thousand wizards in the British wizarding world. How many people will be left after he kills them like this?
But now, the Ministry of Magic has not even controlled public opinion, let alone investigating the Death Eaters and bringing them to justice, and has allowed the concept of "pure blood supremacy" to spread.
This has made Voldemort and the Death Eaters more and more influential, and they have received more and more support from pure-blood wizards and half-blood wizards, and the situation of Muggle wizards has become more and more dangerous.
So Muggle wizards began to strongly call on the Ministry of Magic to take action, otherwise they would have to elect a new Minister of Magic, which really put a lot of pressure on the Ministry of Magic.
Because in today's British wizarding world, the number of Muggle wizards and half-blood wizards has increased visibly.
Just like Xiang Nan's term, there are only seven or eight pure-blood wizards, such as James Potter, Sirius Black, Best Mulciber, Samuel Parkinson, etc.
But the number of Muggle wizards and half-blood wizards is as many as 289, which is four times the number of pure-blood wizards. Therefore, if the Minister of Magic is re-elected, the current Minister of Magic may really step down.
Therefore, the Ministry of Magic is also under great pressure and began to try to take action to investigate the atrocities of the Death Eaters and control the articles on the concept of "pure blood supremacy" in the Daily Prophet.
