Chapter 4096

From February to April, there were frequent reports of Death Eaters causing trouble in the Daily Prophet.

They published articles advocating "pure blood supremacy" in the Daily Prophet, attacking Muggle-born wizards, and two Muggle wizards were killed in the past two months.

They were killed by Death Eaters, and the terrifying Dark Mark floated above their homes.

The frequent occurrence of these vicious cases made Voldemort and the Death Eaters more notorious, and made many wizards feel afraid of them.

Because the population of the British wizarding world is only about 3,000 people. In China, it is equivalent to a large village.

In a village, if a murder occurs, it will be talked about for several years and people will be terrified by it.

Moreover, murders happen every month, so it is no wonder that people are afraid.

Especially those wizards who come from Muggle and mixed-blood families live in fear every day, afraid that they will be visited by Death Eaters if they are not careful.

In comparison, the conservatives in the wizarding world were delighted to see this and celebrated it. Not only did they not condemn the Death Eaters' evil deeds, but they implicitly expressed their support for them and even obstructed the Ministry of Magic's investigation into them.

As the conservative forces in the wizarding world were still strong, the reformists, who were mainly half-blood and Muggle-born wizards, had a hard time and were repeatedly constrained, so the fight against Voldemort and the Death Eaters could not be launched for a long time.

Even public opinion could not be interfered with, and articles advocating "pure-blood supremacy" were allowed to continue to be published in the Daily Prophet.

This also made Voldemort's reputation very strong, and attracted a large number of pure-blood wizards to pledge their allegiance, such as Lucius Malfoy, Joshua Goyle, Jamie Crabbe, Amycus Carrow, Bellatrix Lestrange and so on.

The weakness and incompetence of the Ministry of Magic has also made the British wizarding community increasingly dissatisfied.

After all, in the British wizarding world, Voldemort and the Death Eaters are still a minority, and even the pure-blood families are a minority. Otherwise, if pure-blood wizards were the majority, they wouldn't have advertised themselves as the "Sacred Twenty-Eight Clans".

But it is these minorities who now rely on their inherent power as well as violence and terror to dominate all wizards, suppress dissidents and harm their own kind, which is naturally infuriating.

Therefore, a change is brewing in the British wizarding world.

……

The ups and downs outside the school have little impact on Hogwarts.

The students continued to eat, drink, play and make noise.

Although Voldemort killed some people and caused some damage, he did not come to the school to harass the students, so the students could not empathize with him.

Even the Slytherin students wished to see Voldemort become more fierce and cruel, and would have wanted to wipe out all Muggles and half-blood wizards.

Therefore, they have become increasingly arrogant in school these days, often bullying younger classmates and casting curses on them, such as the Leg-Locking Curse, the Imprisonment Curse, the Confusion Curse, the Bat Spirit Curse, etc., torturing them painfully.

However, because Xiang Nan was notorious and had defeated five Slytherin seniors, no one dared to bully him. But people like Joey Farrell and Benjamin Winslet were unlucky.

They are not as strong as Xiang Nan, nor are they pure-blood like Gregory Foley. One of them is a Muggle and the other is a half-blood. They are both bullied and are often cursed, making them miserable.

……

"Sev, help me, they locked my legs again." Joey Farrell asked Xiang Nan for help. His legs were locked together by a leg-locking spell, and he couldn't move. He could only jump to walk. He was cast a leg-locking spell on the way to the Defense Against the Dark Arts class, so he jumped to the second floor.

"Stop the curse immediately~" Xiang Nan waved his hand, and Joey's legs were immediately untied.

"Thank you, you really should teach me this spell to break the spell, otherwise I'll always be bullied by them." Joey was very grateful, but then complained.

"Who exactly are they?" Xiang Nan asked.

"There are Thorfinn Rowle, Rabastan Lestrange and Corban Yaxley," Joey explained.

"Are there no Lucius Malfoy, Walton McNeill, Joshua Goyle and the others?" Xiang Nan asked puzzledly.

These are the sixth year Slytherin students that Joey was talking about.

"No. They are busy preparing for the NEWT exam." Gregory waved his hand and said, "If they don't do well in the exam, they won't even be able to find a job."

The NEWT exam, the full name of which is the Advanced Wizarding Level Test, is a professional exam that seventh-year students at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry need to take as a certification of their academic qualifications when applying for positions after graduation.

If you want to find a job in the magic world, you must take this exam because many professions require reference to this exam score.

For example, applicants for the Ministry of Magic's Aurors need to obtain "excellent" or "good" grades in at least five NEWT examination subjects; applicants for therapists also need to obtain at least 'E' grades in the exams of Potions, Herbology, Transfiguration, Charms and Defense Against the Dark Arts.

The exams will be held in May or June, and there is only one month left, so they should be busy reviewing for the exams and are unwilling to waste time on the freshmen.

Xiang Nan nodded. He suspected that those people were not busy with exams, but had already joined the Death Eaters and served the Dark Lord, so they looked down on the petty fighting of the junior students.

"I understand." Xiang Nan nodded.

"So how are you going to deal with them?" Joey asked with concern.

Benjamin and Gregory also looked over curiously.

"Siver, don't fight with others. Fighting is a bad behavior and you will be punished by the school." Lily saw this and advised Xiang Nan.

Hearing her say this, Joey, Benjamin and Gregory were all a little dissatisfied.

Because they were obviously bullied first, Xiang Nan was just helping them to retaliate. But Lily still wanted to stop him, it was really like she didn't feel any pain until she was hit.

"Don't worry, I promised you that I won't attack anyone first." Xiang Nan said with a smile, "But if someone takes the initiative to attack me, you can't blame me."

"But how dare they attack you? They'll run away as soon as they see you." Joey waved his hand.

Xiang Nan was one of the few freshmen who was not bullied. The seniors were all afraid of him.

After all, he once single-handedly challenged Lucius Malfoy, Walton McNeill, Joshua Goyle and five other people, and not only was he unharmed, but he also made them panic. He established his reputation in one fell swoop, and no one dared to bully him anymore.

"Don't worry." Xiang Nan smiled, took out the magic wand, and fiddled with his face twice. His originally obvious hooked nose suddenly became much rounder, and his cheeks became rounder too, from an oval face to a square face... He looked like a different person.

"Oh my God~" Seeing this scene, the students were all shocked.
