Chapter 4149 4151 [Tell Everything]
In September, Hogwarts will open.
Xiang Nan and Lily were promoted to the president of the Boy and Girl Student Union.
This year will also be their last year at school. They will face the NEWT exam at the end of the semester, which is the advanced wizard level exam.
If they can get good grades, it will be very helpful for future employment.
For example, the Ministry of Magic, Hogwarts, the Daily Prophet, St. Mungo's Hospital for Magic and other departments or institutions all have requirements for employees' NEWT scores.
Of course, there are exceptions. For example, after the end of the Second Wizarding War, students who participated in the Battle of Hogwarts can be exempted from the NEWT exam and directly receive Auror training.
There are also people like George and Fred, who dropped out of school in the sixth grade and opened their own joke shop.
Xiang Nan is not as rebellious as them, and he is still preparing to take the NEWT exam.
And he spends most of his time developing new magic props and anti-curse equipment.
For example, a two-way mirror that can be used for video calls. As long as both people hold the mirror and say the right code, they can see each other, just like a video call.
This prop was very popular after it was launched, and its sales were better than those 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 a step up.
In this way, family members, friends, lovers... can all connect via video, which is really convenient, so its sales are very good.
In terms of anti-curse equipment, Xiang Nan opened his mind and had a sudden idea. After many experiments, he finally developed an anti-curse cloak that can prevent the Avada Kedavra curse.
This anti-curse cloak can release the bird curse, which will spray out a large number of birds. The Avada Kedavra curse can only take away one life at a time. When the Kedavra curse hits the bird, the magic power disappears, and the person can naturally escape.
Once this anti-curse equipment was launched, the Ministry of Magic immediately ordered 500 sets, and other wizards also sought to buy it. There were even scalpers who sold it at a high price, making a cloak as high as 50 Galleons.
...
It was Christmas time.
Lily returned home for the holiday. After returning, she told Xiang Nan that Penny met a very compatible boy, Vernon Dursley, at the Granning Company.
He is very talkative, well-informed, and very capable. He has become a company manager at a young age, which is very remarkable.
Vernon also fell in love with her at first sight and has dated her several times.
They both feel good.
Xiang Nan was happy for Petunia after hearing this.
In fact, Vernon is a very good husband. He works hard, really loves his wife and son. Husbands like him are rare.
Although he is not good to Harry, to be honest, no one would be happy if they suddenly had a burden. He was very good for Petunia and did not throw Harry to an orphanage.
Many people will inevitably feel depressed or even angry when taking care of their children.
Of course, Vernon is not a saint. On the contrary, he is very mercenary, vulgar, selfish, and mean. However, a broken pot has its own broken lid. He and Petunia, who is also vulgar, mercenary, mean, and selfish, are actually a perfect match.
...
After Christmas, Xiang Nan also noticed that there was a Dark Mark on Regulus Black's left arm.
Although he concealed it very well and hid his left arm in his robe so that no one could see it, Xiang Nan, who had a perspective eye, 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 studying. Although he is a little extreme and stubborn, he is not a bad person. Just like little Barty, he is another child who has gone astray.
However, little Barty has been turned around by him.
He is now involved in the research and development of so many anti-curse equipment and magic props. His name is on many patents, and he has saved many people because of this.
This also made him a celebrity in the magic world. Although he is not as good as Xiang Nan, he is also a rising star that everyone admires.
So old Barty is very satisfied with his son, and the relationship between father and son is now very harmonious. For the time being, Barty Crouch Jr. has no possibility of turning evil.
But Regulus is different.
When he first met Xiang Nan, their relationship was very strained.
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.
Later, when Xiang Nan was developing anti-curse equipment and magic props, he also tried to invite him to join, but he simply disdained it. So Xiang Nan failed to win him back and could only watch him go astray.
"I hope I can destroy Voldemort's Horcrux before you." Xiang Nan thought to himself.
As the saying goes, a prodigal son who returns is worth more than gold. Regulus knows that he repents and uses his life to atone for his sins, and he is really worth saving.
...
It was June, and Xiang Nan and others took the newt exam.
After the exam, Xiang Nan received an owl message from Irene, urging him to reunite in Australia as soon as possible.
Xiang Nan wrote back to her, saying that he still had some things to do and would go to Australia as soon as possible to reunite with the couple.
Then, he went to find Professor Dumbledore, and was led by Professor McGonagall.
"Sever, what do you want to talk to me about?" Dumbledore looked at Xiang Nan and asked with a smile.
Xiang Nan did not speak, but silently took out a human head from the storage bag.
Dumbledore was slightly startled, and looked at it carefully for a moment, then said in surprise, "Is this the werewolf Fenrir Greyback?"
The portraits of the past headmasters hanging in the headmaster's office stopped dozing off, and all woke up, looking at Xiang Nan in surprise.
Xiang Nan nodded, and told him about 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 mention the practice of druid transfiguration, and delayed Fenrir's death until this year.
"I didn't know you did all 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~", "I'm afraid he has violated more than a hundred school rules.", "It's amazing that he can catch the wolf king Fenrir in the second grade~"
Xiang Nan smiled embarrassedly. Over the years, he has indeed taken a lot of advantage of Hogwarts.
"But it's a good thing to get rid of Fenrir. This werewolf has harmed many people." Dumbledore agreed again.
"Thank you, Headmaster." Xiang Nan nodded, and then took out another item from his purse - the crown of Ravenclaw.
"This is..." Dumbledore was shocked again.
He picked up the crown with trembling hands. It was indeed the crown left by Rowena Ravenclaw in the legend.
It was exquisite and exuded an ancient atmosphere. It was a real antique and an unparalleled treasure.
It had been lost for nearly a thousand years, and I didn't expect it to reappear today.
Dumbledore couldn't believe his eyes.
