Chapter 4093 4095 [Conservatives]

"I have to say that some of his ideas do make sense," said Hertok Davos, vice president of the Extraordinary Pharmacists Association, with a smile. It was clear that he was also a conservative.

Hearing him say this, the Deputy Minister of Magic, Creed Hemsworth, nodded and said, "He does have a point, but the approach is questionable."

Barnabas Guffey, editor of the Daily Prophet, immediately asked with a smile, "Mr. Deputy Minister, can I regard your statement as the official position of the Ministry of Magic?"

"Of course not." Creed waved his hand and smiled, "No matter what, at the official level, we still have to condemn it."

"Your Ministry of Magic should show some courage. Ever since the tragedy, many Muggle-born wizards dare not enter Diagon Alley at will, which has a great impact on our business." Adam Giggs, the owner of Slug & Giggs Pharmacy, complained.

"No way, wouldn't your pharmacy's business be better at times like this?" laughed Amos Diggory, Director of the Department for Control of Magical Creatures.

"Business is much better, and many people want to stock up on potions." Adam Giggs nodded, "but the Muggle wizards who supply me don't dare to come. In fact, if I may be honest, the potions brewed by Muggle wizards are generally of better quality than those brewed by pure-blood or half-blood wizards."

After hearing what he said, many people present looked unhappy.

  Because there were obviously more pure-blood wizards among the people present, they generally advocated the concept of "pure-blood supremacy". Now, how could they not be angry when they heard Adam Giggs praising Muggle wizards for brewing better potions?

"Nonsense. In our Association of Extraordinary Pharmacists, most pharmacists are pure-blood or half-blood, and Muggle wizards account for a very small proportion. Their general level cannot catch up with pure-blood wizards." Hurtok Davos, vice president of the Association of Extraordinary Pharmacists, rebuked.

"Yes, children from pure-blood wizard families have been learning to brew potions since childhood. How could they be inferior to Muggle wizards?" Deputy Minister Creed Hemsworth also refuted.

"I don't think that's possible either." Amos Diggory, Director of the Department for Control of Magical Creatures, also waved his hand and said, "There are indeed some good Muggle wizards, but they are still not as good as pure-blood wizards."

……

Xiang Nan was reading a book while listening and thought what Adam Giggs said made sense.

Because Muggle-born wizards generally receive better basic education before entering the magical world. They learn literature, mathematics, science (including physics, chemistry, biology), humanities (history, geography), art (music, fine arts), etc. from childhood.

In comparison, pure-blood wizards are basically educated at home, and they mainly learn knowledge related to magic, which leads to their lack of literature, mathematics, science and other aspects.

According to Hermione, most wizards have no ability to reason logically. In fact, every day Ravenclaw students are locked out of the common room because they can't answer questions.

Brewing potions requires not only a smart mind and a rigorous attitude, but also careful thinking. Muggle-born wizards are relatively better at this.

Moreover, most pure-blood wizards live a privileged life. A family like the Weasleys, who are pure-bloods but live in such poverty, is actually quite rare in the wizarding world, which is why they are often ridiculed by Malfoy. Therefore, they don't bother to brew potions to sell.

But for Muggle-born wizards, brewing potions is a good way to make a living. So after long-term brewing, they have accumulated experience and improved the process, so it is common for the quality to improve.

But he is just a freshman and his words carry little weight, so it is not his turn to speak at this moment.

……

Adam Giggs pursed his lips after being criticized by all the big guys. He was obviously a little dissatisfied. After all, he was a drugstore owner, and his job was to buy and sell goods. He knew who made good potions and who made bad potions. He was like a mirror in his heart, unlike these big guys who all advocated pure blood without reason.

"Okay, okay, there's no point in arguing. How about another glass of Firewhisky?" Slughorn said with a smile, "In fact, whether it's pure-blood, half-blood or Muggle wizards, there are good ones.

For example, our Severus is of mixed blood and is the most talented student in potions that I have ever seen. He can successfully brew a potion of refreshing potion in just thirty minutes."

"That's great. Who are his parents?" Hertok asked in surprise.

The refreshing potion is a special medicine for treating colds. It was developed by Glover Shipworth in the 18th century. The brewing method is not difficult, but it is really amazing that it can be successfully brewed in 30 minutes.

You know, even for a pharmacist from the Extraordinary Pharmacist Association, it would take at least twenty minutes to make a refreshing potion.

"His mother is Irene Prince," Slughorn introduced with a smile.

"So it's the inheritance of the Prince family, no wonder!" Hertok nodded and smiled.

The Prince family is also an ancient family with a long history in the magic world, but it is gradually declining due to its small population. The ancestor of the Prince family, First Prince, was a master of potions. He once developed well-known potions such as growth hormone, vitality potion, and powerful healing potion.

"He has the talent for potions inherited from the Prince family. No wonder he is so good at brewing potions." Creed also laughed.

"Yes, this proves the superiority of pure-blood wizards, because we all know that magical talent is inherited through blood." Amos Diggory also laughed.

"That's right." Everyone echoed.

Xiang Nan smiled but did not agree with what they said.

Because there are many idiots in pure-blood families, such as Goyle and Crabbe around Malfoy, and even Lucius's strength is not very good. In the battle at the Ministry of Magic, he led a group of Death Eaters and could not beat Harry and several fifth-year students.

But as I said, his words are insignificant and it is not his turn to refute.

Instead, he noticed what Adam Giggs said and found a small business opportunity. "Mr. Giggs, are you short of potion supply now? Can I help you make potion?"

"You?" Adam Giggs was stunned, then smiled, "Okay, but what kind of medicine can you make? I don't lack common medicines."

"I can brew love potions, truth serums, polyjuice potions, shrinkage potions, joy potions, powerful healing potions, and so on." Xiang Nan said, "There are also some potions unique to the Prince family, such as vitality potions, invisibility potions, dragon power potions, etc. My mother, Irene Prince, taught me to brew potions when I was five years old, so I have seven years of brewing experience."

"It seems that you are really capable. Well, if you can really brew these potions, I will buy them at a reasonable price." Adam Giggs said with a smile.

Xiang Nan nodded after hearing this.
