save the bachelors

Chapter 4106 4108 [Reincarnation of Sin]

"Siver, have you moved?" Lily was surprised to see Xiang Nan's family move into her community.

"Yes." Xiang Nan nodded and smiled, "My mother and I are now making potions to make money, and my father has opened a bar, so our family has become rich, and naturally we don't live in Spider's End Alley anymore."

Spider's Tail Alley was a slum area, and girls like Lily who often went to such places would be looked down upon. However, if Xiang Nan moved out of Spider's Tail Alley and moved into the same community, there wouldn't be much of a problem.

"I see." Lily nodded.

"However, what is announced to the public is that my mother inherited the estate from a distant aunt." Xiang Nan lowered his voice again.

Large amounts of money must have a legal source, otherwise they may be targeted by the relevant authorities at any time. That is why there is such a thing as "money laundering".

Although Xiang Nan's family made their money cleanly by selling potions, they couldn't tell anyone about it. Fortunately, Gringotts had related services that could help customers solve this problem. Otherwise, it would be a big hassle.

Lily nodded in understanding, "Then congratulations on moving into your new home."

"Thank you." Xiang Nan said with a smile, "From now on, our two families are neighbors. You are welcome to come to my house and play in the future."

"Sure." Lily also smiled.

……

For a period of time afterwards, Lily often came to play with Xiang Nan, and practiced spells, brewed potions, and read magic books with him at home.

As the saying goes, where you live changes your temperament and how you eat changes your body. Irene and Tobias have now risen from the poor to the middle class, and even the place they live has changed, so naturally their temperament and health have improved.

Although Irene is naturally introverted and unsociable, she is actually not a bad person. Otherwise, she would not have been so submissive when facing domestic violence from her husband.

So although she was not very enthusiastic about Lily, she would not coldly reject her. She would even give Lily some pointers and teach her some techniques of brewing potions when she was making them.

Tobias now considers himself a middle-class gentleman, and he is not at all opposed to Lily coming to his house to play. Moreover, he is no longer a drinker, so naturally he will not scare Lily.

It is worth mentioning that after becoming rich, the Snape family’s dress and appearance also changed.

Before, the family wore old and torn clothes, and it was obvious that they were poor and lived in poverty.

Now they have all changed into new clothes. Although they are not luxury brands such as Burberry, Mulberry, and Dunhill, they are also high-end brand products, and one piece costs sixty or seventy pounds.

For the middle class, clothes of this level are already considered very good.

The family moved to a new house and changed into new clothes, which gave people a very different impression. At least they were considered respectable people. Xiang Nan was very satisfied with this change. Although he didn't care about food and clothing, who would complain that they lived a good life?

However, the neighbors still looked at the Snape family with tinted glasses because they moved from Spinner's End. They thought that even if the family became rich, they were still tasteless nouveau riche and poor people from the slums.

Therefore, apart from the Evans family who were close to them, others did not dare to have too much contact with them. Xiang Nan thought this was a good thing.

Because it is not suitable for their family to have too much contact with ordinary people. If they have too much contact, people will find something wrong with them. It is good for them to stay away from each other and live their own lives.

……

That day, Xiang Nan stayed at home, reading a book and brewing potion.

He was already brewing some advanced potions such as love potion, truth serum, and polyjuice potion. These potions were extremely difficult to brew, and naturally they were quite expensive. For example, love potion cost four galleons for a small bottle. Truth serum cost six galleons for a small bottle. Polyjuice potion was even more expensive, costing ten galleons for a small bottle.

Xiang Nan didn't cook them before, mainly because they were difficult, complicated, and took a long time to cook. But now he has time during the summer vacation, and his mother Irene is by his side, so he is ready to challenge the high difficulty and accumulate more experience.

In this way, when he returns to school, he can also try to brew these advanced potions, which will undoubtedly be very helpful in improving his potion skills.

"Sev, look, another Muggle wizard has been killed by Death Eaters." Just then, Lily held up a copy of the Daily Prophet and said to Xiang Nan.

Xiang Nan took the newspaper and read it. As expected, the Death Eaters had killed people again. They killed Samuel Smith, a Muggle wizard, and his Muggle wife.

The bodies of the two men were lying on the floor of his house, and above his house was floating the symbol of the Dark Lord, a huge skull swallowing and spitting out a snake.

"They are getting more and more crazy." Xiang Nan shook his head and said, "Before they only killed Muggle wizards, but now they even kill their families."

"Yeah, it's really scary." Lily sighed.

"This is not the scariest thing." Irene said at this time.

"What?" Lily asked in confusion.

"The most terrifying thing is the public opinion in the newspapers." Irene explained, "The Death Eaters have killed so many people, but there are not many voices of condemnation in the newspapers. Instead, there are more articles supporting them.

Obviously, their actions are in line with the ideas of some bigwigs, so those bigwigs will help them create public opinion. "

When Xiang Nan heard this, he immediately looked at her with admiration.

Irene looks like a timid housewife, but I didn't expect that she has such insightful views.

But this is not surprising. Irene is the captain of the Hogwarts Gobstones team, and Gobstones is similar to the Muggle marbles game, a game that tests both IQ and operation.

If Irene was stupid, she wouldn't be able to play Gobstones, let alone be the captain. This shows that she is actually very smart, which is why she gave birth to a genius like Snape.

"That means..." Lily said in surprise.

"Not only will the power of the Death Eaters not be hit, it may even grow stronger." Xiang Nan murmured.

Voldemort's ideas are now supported by the conservatives of the pure-blood families in the wizarding world. The conservatives hope to use him to eradicate Muggle wizards and intimidate the wizarding world in order to safeguard the interests of the pure-blood families.

Therefore, the more Muggles Voldemort killed, the more support he gained from conservatives, allowing him to further expand his power.

But Voldemort would not be content to be someone else's lackey. After all, he always thought highly of himself and regarded himself as the successor of Salazar Slytherin. How could he be inferior to others and be driven by them?

So when his power grows to a certain extent, those pure-blood families will also be attacked. As Kingsley Shacklebolt said in Harry's Watch, "I would say that 'wizard number one' is only a small step away from 'pure-blood number one', and one step further is 'Death Eater number one'."

That is, during the First Wizarding War, Voldemort had not yet taken control of the British wizarding world, and had not yet exposed his extremely tyrannical true face, but he was accidentally killed in seconds by Harry Potter.

During the Second Wizarding War, after he took control of the British wizarding world, even the Malfoy family recognized Voldemort's true nature and wanted to betray him, but they were intimidated by his power and did not dare to resist.
