save the bachelors

Chapter 4145 4147 [Expanding Business]

After the Christmas holiday, little Barty returned to school with a happy face.

"Siver, you really got it right." He said to Xiang Nan with a smile.

"What?" Xiang Nan was a little confused. He had said a lot, but which of his words hit the mark? What did he say?

"My dad, he used the perfume I gave him." Little Batty said excitedly.

He had previously used the money he earned from brewing potions to buy his father a men's perfume, but ended up being scolded by old Barty in a letter.

He originally thought his father really didn't like it and was sad about it for a while. But when he went home for Christmas this time, he smelled the scent of men's perfume on his father.

Later, his mother secretly told him that his father was very happy after receiving the gift and remembered to put on perfume every day before going to work at the Ministry of Magic.

He knew that his father was just saying one thing and doing another. It wasn't that he didn't like the gift he gave him, but he was used to playing the role of a strict father. So even if he liked it and was proud of his son, he wouldn't show it.

Realizing his father's love for him, Barty was naturally touched and happy. All the resentment he had accumulated towards his father over the years disappeared and was written off.

Xiang Nan was very happy to see him like this.

In fact, it was because Barty Jr. longed for family affection and fatherly love that he went astray and mistakenly recognized Voldemort as his father.

Now that he can feel the love from his biological father, he naturally doesn't need to be loyal to the evil Voldemort anymore.

This is a great loss for Voldemort, but a great blessing for the righteous path.

After all, Barty Jr.'s strength, wisdom and acting skills should not be underestimated. If he does evil, it's really terrible.

……

After the Christmas holiday, Xiang Nan officially expanded his business and recruited a group of students to make anti-curse equipment for him, charging by piece.

The curse-proof hat he is currently developing has received orders for over a thousand pieces. The Ministry of Magic alone has placed an order for five hundred hats. It can be said that the demand is far exceeding the supply.

If Xiang Nan and his four men were the only ones to produce the product, it would take at least two to three months. If they were to recruit more people now, they could finish the work in about a month.

And on the Hogwarts campus, there are many students who want to earn some pocket money.

In the original book, when George and Fred recruited students to test the drugs, a large number of them were willing to be guinea pigs for a few dollars.

Making an anti-curse hat for Xiang Nan does not require risking one's life, and one will be rewarded with one Galleon, so no student is unwilling to do it.

However, the prerequisite is that these students are strong enough to cast a decent Iron Armor Spell. Therefore, many students practiced the Iron Armor Spell in order to make money, which in turn improved their own strength.

"Sev, I brought Peter here." Lupin said as he brought Peter Pettigrew.

Xiang Nan nodded. They often attended classes together and had known each other for a long time. But to be honest, although they had been classmates for five years, they had hardly spoken to each other, so they were not very familiar with each other.

"Welcome, Peter. Lupin always mentioned you to me, saying that you are smart, brave, and a good friend." Xiang Nan smiled and said, "Welcome to join our team."

"Thank you. I will definitely work hard." Peter Pettigrew looked at Xiang Nan and said with admiration.

Xiang Nan nodded. "Okay, I will pay attention to your performance. If your performance is really good, I will consider promoting you to the R&D team. Then, all products will have a patent of yours."

"Thank you, thank you, thank you." Upon hearing this, Pettigrew immediately thanked him repeatedly.

... In the following months, Xiang Nan's research and development team successively launched anti-curse gloves, anti-curse cloaks, puppet dolls, invisible smoke bombs, temporary transformation candies and anti-theft alarms.

Each product was a huge hit and helped the wizards.

Many wizards wrote letters to thank Xiang Nan for inventing the anti-curse equipment, which helped him avoid the attacks of the Death Eaters.

For example, Digg Borthode, a wizard of Muggle origin, was attacked by Death Eaters on his way home. Fortunately, he was wearing a curse-proof hat, and the Shield Charm on it rebounded the spell that attacked him, allowing him to escape.

For this reason, he wrote a special letter to thank Xiang Nan, and also wrote to the Daily Prophet and Wizard Radio, calling on the wizarding world to buy a curse-proof hat, which can really save lives at critical moments.

There are countless similar examples, which makes Xiang Nan more and more famous.

Not only do many wizards like him, but even the media praises him highly.

After all, in the past year, apart from the anti-curse equipment launched by Xiang Nan, there has been almost no good news in the magic world.

The number of deaths is increasing and becoming more frequent.

Despite the protection of anti-curse equipment, wizards and Muggles still suffered.

Muggles, in particular, have no idea of ​​the existence of Death Eaters, werewolves, trolls, vampires, etc., so when they are attacked, they naturally have no way to defend themselves and can only be killed at will.

This also makes people more and more afraid.

Moreover, people gradually discovered that it was easy to be attacked if they said the three words "Voldemort".

As a result, people are less and less willing to say these three words, and instead call them "mysterious person" (you know who), and this gradually forms a tacit understanding.

In this era of fear and high pressure, people naturally hope to see some good news, news that is worth being happy about.

Xiang Nan invented a series of potions and magic props, saving countless lives. This was naturally worthy of media coverage, and people were happy to see news about him.

So the Daily Prophet, Ignore Weekly, and Wizard Radio were all reporting on him, and even the Froome Candy Workshop, which produced chocolate frogs, contacted Xiang Nan, hoping to launch his chocolate frog pictures.

Xiang Nan naturally would not refuse such a good thing.

……

Time quickly came to the second half of the fifth grade.

After the Easter holidays, every fifth-grade student will receive career counseling services from their professors in order to clarify their future career direction and prepare for it.

After graduating from Hogwarts, students usually have several career options. One is to work in the Ministry of Magic as an Auror or a member of the Ministry, such as a Muggle liaison officer.

  One is to join a company. For example, Gringotts recruits curse breakers, and the Flying Broom Company, the Daily Prophet, and the Candy Factory all need workers.

One is to enter St. Mungo's Hospital for Magical Sorrow as a healer, which requires expertise in potions, herbology, transfiguration, spells, defense against the dark arts, etc.

One is to become a professor at Hogwarts, but few people can enter Hogwarts. After all, this is the highest institution of learning in the British wizarding world, representing the highest level of the wizarding world, and not everyone is qualified to enter.

Another way is to join a professional Quidditch team as a player, for example, Ginny Weasley and Oliver Wood joined professional teams to play.

Of course, you can also start your own business and be your own boss like George and Fred.

Generally speaking, it is not difficult to find a job in the wizarding world, and it is not difficult to support yourself or even a family.

Unless it's a werewolf like Lupin, or a petty theft criminal like Mundungus Fletcher.
