save the bachelors

Chapter 4095 4097 [Fiery Potion]

"Severus, you're awesome!" Lily said admiringly.

"No, just don't look down on me." Xiang Nan waved his hand and smiled.

"How could that be? I can't admire you enough." Lily waved her hand and said, "I wish I could be as capable as you."

"Well, how about this? Why don't you come with me to brew potions? I can teach you some knowledge while I'm at it." Xiang Nan added, "I'm already brewing the Joy Potion, Intelligence Potion, Healing Potion, Living Hell Potion, and Vitality Tonic, which are only available to fifth and sixth graders."

"Okay." Lily nodded when she heard it.

She was also very interested in potions. On the one hand, she was very talented in this area. Although she was born as a Muggle, she was very good at brewing potions.

While other students were still scratching their heads about how to make the potion, she had already made it, and for this she was often praised by Professor Slughorn, which made her more and more interested in potions.

On the one hand, the potion has magical effects and can cure diseases and save lives. For her, who has a kind personality, it is also a good thing to help others.

Afterwards, Xiang Nan quietly took Lily to the Room of Requirement.

"There is a room here and I didn't even know it." Lily said in surprise after entering the room.

The Gryffindor common room was on the eighth floor. She passed by this wall almost every day, but she had never seen a room here.

"This is one of the secrets of Hogwarts - the Room of Requirement. Even Headmaster Dumbledore doesn't know about it." Xiang Nan smiled and said, "It can meet the needs of different people seeking help.

For example, you can make it a bathroom, and there will be many chamber pots in the room; make it a dormitory, and it will produce beds and bedding; make it an alchemy room, and it will produce crucibles and medicinal materials; make it a library, and it will produce all kinds of books... It can produce almost anything, except food and coins of course."

"This is incredible." Lily said in surprise.

"It's really incredible. This is the magical world, always full of surprises." Xiang Nan said with a smile.

"That's true." Lily said happily.

"Come, I'll teach you how to make a sleeping potion." Xiang Nan said with a smile, "You can make this kind of medicine in the second grade. After you learn it, I'll teach you how to make a healing potion."

Lily nodded.

……

For a period of time that followed, apart from attending classes, Xiang Nan stayed in the Room of Requests to boil medicine.

After class, Lily Evans would often come to accompany him and learn potions knowledge with him.

The two's experience in potion making was growing rapidly as they successfully brewed potion after potion.

Especially Lily, under Xiang Nan's hands-on teaching, she has learned to brew sleeping pills, healing potions, intelligence-enhancing potions and other potions, and her strength has improved rapidly.

……

On January 20th, the second Quidditch match began, this time between Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff.

Xiang Nan still didn't go to watch the game. But he still helped Joey, Benjamin, Gregory and others make a big banner.

The banner depicts a soaring eagle, representing Ravenclaw. Xiang Nan cast a spell on the eagle, which would fly out from the banner every minute, circle the field and make a loud eagle cry, which was quite impressive. In addition, the banner also had the words "Ravenclaw will win" written on it, which were also cast a spell, so that not only could they be shouted out loudly, but the words would also float in the air, shining brightly.

Seeing Xiang Nan prepare such a cool banner for the school, Joey, Benjamin, Gregory and others were all stunned. The teachers and students of Hogwarts were also stunned.

Because the magic performed by Xiang Nan was so wonderful, not only the students were amazed, but many teachers were also amazed.

"This is a very good Transfiguration." Professor Minerva McGonagall couldn't help but admire the eagle flying out of the painting. She thought that even a seventh grade student might not be able to create such a lifelike and delicate eagle.

"He should have used more than a dozen spells. The ones I can recognize include the Transfiguration Charm, the Speech Charm, the Blink Charm, the Amplification Charm, the Color Changing Charm, the Levitation Charm, etc." Professor Filius Flitwick also exclaimed.

"Which student's masterpiece is this?" Slughorn asked curiously.

"It must be Severus Snape. In the last competition, he brought a roaring lion." Professor Flitwick said proudly.

This is a student from their academy, and the most talented student he has ever seen. He is only in the first grade, but he has learned more than most seventh graders, which makes him proud.

"So it was him, no wonder." Slughorn nodded and smiled.

Although Xiang Nan was not a Slytherin student, he was a member of his Slug Club. Therefore, the higher Xiang Nan's achievements, the more benefits he would gain in the future. Therefore, he was also happy for Xiang Nan.

It’s just a pity that although the Ravenclaw cheerleading team is very impressive, Quidditch games are ultimately about strength, not cheerleading.

So in the end Ravenclaw unfortunately lost and had to compete with Gryffindor for the third and fourth place, which made the students of Ravenclaw depressed for a while.

……

Even in February, the weather was still cold, making Joey, Benjamin and Gregory shiver.

Xiang Nan was not afraid of the cold, and was not afraid of seeing them shivering with cold, so he still thought of a solution for them.

He brewed a hot potion. Just one sip would warm your whole body and the effect would last for four hours.

This potion subsequently became very popular in the school.

Because Hogwarts is located in the mountains of the Scottish Highlands, the lowest temperature here in winter can reach minus 15 degrees Celsius. There is no heating in Hogwarts, and at most there is a fireplace in the common room.

Senior students can cast spells to keep warm, but freshmen can only resist. So once this hot potion was launched, it was immediately welcomed by students.

When Xiang Nan saw it, he didn't want to miss the business opportunity, so he started selling it at school immediately. He also asked Joey and Benjamin to help promote it. Unexpectedly, he made a lot of money.

Hundreds of bottles could be sold in a day. One Sickle per bottle was nearly ten Galleons, which was more profitable than brewing other potions. This business lasted until April, when the weather warmed up with the arrival of the spring equinox.

Xiang Nan had accumulated nearly 500 gold galleons, and could be said to be a small millionaire. He even regretted not making the hot potion in early winter last year, and missed the three-month peak sales season in vain.

……

During this period, Ravenclaw and Gryffindor held a Quidditch match to determine the third and fourth place.

Although the competition was only for third or fourth place, which was meaningless, both sides still tried their best to compete. As expected, Ravenclaw was defeated again and became the last one, which disappointed the students.
