Chapter 4138 4140 [Promoted to Headmaster]

At the end of June, Xiang Nan and others successfully completed their fourth-year studies and took the Hogwarts Express back to London.

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

Fortunately, everything was safe. Xiang Nan and others arrived at the station smoothly, then went to the Leaky Cauldron and used Floo powder to return home.

"Just come back safely." Irene hugged her son and said.

Recently, there has been a lot of unrest outside, Voldemort, Death Eaters, werewolves, trolls, vampires... She couldn't help but worry.

"Mom, don't worry, the Death Eaters dare not attack the Hogwarts Express." Xiang Nan smiled.

"That's hard to say." Irene waved her hand and said, "What they did was too evil. Grindelwald's witch party is much kinder than them."

Although Grindelwald had launched a global wizard war, during which many wizards and Muggles died. But Grindelwald and the witch party will not kill ordinary wizards.

But Voldemort and the Death Eaters like to torture and kill Muggles and Muggle-born wizards. They don't kill people, they just do it for fun.

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

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

"Don't be silly, you are not their opponent." Irene said hurriedly.

"Don't worry, I'm just talking." Seeing her worried face, Xiang Nan also laughed hurriedly.

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

Because Voldemort can learn magic, he can now. And the martial arts he knows, Voldemort does not know.

Now Xiang Nan is afraid of Voldemort only for one thing, that is his Horcrux.

If he can't destroy his Horcrux, then Voldemort will come back after his death, just like the indestructible cockroach.

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

When all five items are gathered, it will be the date of Voldemort's death.

...

In July, the attacks outside continued to increase.

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

Although the Ministry of Magic sent Aurors to plug the loopholes, it never saw any effect.

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

Before, people thought that the attitude of the Ministry of Magic was not tough enough, and Voldemort and the Death Eaters were allowed to wreak havoc, so they were so arrogant and domineering.

As long as the Minister of Magic was replaced and the appeasers were changed to hardliners, then jumping clowns like Voldemort and the Death Eaters could be swept away like leaves swept by the wind.

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

Although it is not completely useless, it did not play a big role.

From this, people saw the incompetence of the Ministry of Magic and realized that even if a new minister was replaced, it would not be possible to reverse the situation. Therefore, people naturally became more and more disappointed and more and more afraid.

...

In order to prevent their homes from being attacked, Irene and Xiang Nan specially set up a protective spell at home, which can not only prevent wizards from invading, but also send out an alarm in time if someone invades.

In addition, Irene also helped Lily's family to set up a protective spell to protect the safety of their family of four.

Robin, Mary, and Penny were all a little worried.

They originally thought that it was a very interesting thing for their daughter to become a wizard. Unexpectedly, the wizarding world is so terrifying and much more chaotic than the Muggle world.

If they had known this, they would not 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 guarded by countless ancient magics, and there is the most powerful wizard in the world, Albus Dumbledore, sitting in charge. Nothing will happen." Xiang Nan explained.

"On the contrary, it's really dangerous for her to stay 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 house 24 hours a day, they can't stop those people." Xiang Nan explained, "They have plenty of ways to enter your house and kill Lily. So she can only go to Hogwarts, and she is safest there."

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

Mary also blamed herself.

Penny was also worried about her sister.

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

But in the past two years, watching Xiang Nan's family get rich because of magic, she gradually became jealous. But now she doesn't think so anymore.

It turns out that magic is not only fun, but also so dangerous and terrifying, and it may bring about a fatal disaster at any time. She really doesn't want to learn magic at all, and she wants to be as far away from it as possible.

...

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

His wolfsbane potion has been tested and found to be able to help werewolves stay sane after transformation on full-moon nights.

This means 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 Potion Master".

This is the most authoritative potion publication in the wizarding world, and only the top potion papers can be published in this journal.

It is incredible that Xiang Nan, who is still a fourth-year student, can develop such a potion and publish it in such a journal.

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

...

In August, Xiang Nan and Lily 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 by the school and received corresponding badges.

Lily's badge pattern is a lion representing Gryffindor, with gold and red colors, and a capital "P" in the middle, representing the English initials of the prefect (praepostor).

Xiang Nan's badge pattern is an eagle representing Ravenclaw, with bronze and blue colors, and a capital "P" in the middle.

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

"This is the first step to success. Maybe I can become the head of the boy and girl student union in the future, and then I can work in the Ministry of Magic smoothly, and maybe even become the Minister of Magic." She said excitedly.

She was not able to become the head of Slytherin that year, which was a great regret for her. Unexpectedly, her son helped her realize her wish. The head of Ravenclaw is not something that ordinary people can do.

Xiang Nan didn't have the heart to crush her dream, but he didn't want to be the Minister of Magic at all. The Minister of Magic has little power and a lot of trouble, so he was too lazy to do it.
