Chapter 4139 4141 [Merlin Knight Order Second Class Medal]

After receiving the notification letter from the school, Xiang Nan prepared to go to Diagon Alley with Lily to buy books and three more robes.

The last time he bought a school uniform was in second grade, and now that he was about to enter fifth grade, those robes no longer fit him.

But Irene was adamantly against them going out, and instead planned to use their owls Snowball and Dafoe to order books from Flourish and Blotts and clothes from Madam Malkin's robe shop.

"It's so chaotic outside right now, even Diagon Alley may not be safe." She said to Xiang Nan and the others, "So it's best not to go out and send an owl to do the mail order."

Nowadays, there are reports of people being attacked in the newspapers almost every day, so for the safety of her son and others, she has to be on guard.

Xiang Nan originally wanted to go to Diagon Alley to shop, but seeing how careful she was, he had no choice but to nod.

Sure enough, after returning to school, Xiang Nan found out that many of his classmates bought books and clothes through Owl Mail.

Because parents are afraid that it is unsafe to go to Diagon Alley and that their children may be attacked by Death Eaters, werewolves, trolls, and vampires, they are willing to spend more time to send owl mail orders.

Fortunately, Flourish and Blotts Bookstore and Madam Malkin's Robe Shop also provide owl mail-order services.

In the original Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, Harry and Ron bought the book Advanced Potion-Making from Flourish and Blotts by mail order.

After buying the new books, Xiang Nan still taught Lily to preview the contents of the textbooks in advance, including spells, potions, transfiguration, and defense against the dark arts...

Xiang Nan is definitely considered a top magic master now, no weaker than Professor McGonagall, Professor Flitwick, Professor Slughorn and the like, so he can teach Lily with ease.

……

In mid-August, "Practical Potions Master" published the formula for the wolfsbane potion developed by Xiang Nan, which caused a sensation in the entire wizarding world.

Not only the British wizarding community, but also the wizarding communities in France, the United States, South America, Eastern Europe, Africa and other places were shocked.

Because the werewolf problem is not limited to the British wizarding world, werewolves are distributed in almost every country in the world. And all countries are helpless against them.

Werewolves are extremely dangerous during full moon nights, but are almost the same as normal humans at most other times, which makes it difficult to execute them like animals.

However, allowing them to live in the wizarding world would put other wizards in danger, so the general practice of the wizarding world towards werewolves is to discriminate, exclude and suppress them.

This further intensified the relationship between werewolves and wizards, leading to the emergence of werewolves like Fenrir Greyback, who specifically attacked children and spread the werewolf virus.

Now that we have wolf poison potion, we can at least curb the ferocity of werewolves and prevent them from hurting people on full moon nights. This is the most important step in controlling werewolves.

Furthermore, since they were able to develop wolf poison potion to temporarily suppress the ferocity of werewolves, there might be a chance in the future to completely eradicate the werewolf virus and restore werewolves to their human form, so all countries were very excited.

……

The British Ministry of Magic specially awarded Xiang Nan the Order of Merlin, Second Class Medal to reward his contributions to the field of potions.

The Order of Merlin is the highest honor in the British wizarding world. In the entire British wizarding world, there are no more than three digits of people who have received this medal.

Not to mention the professors of Hogwarts, even among the former headmasters, only a few have received this medal.

Xiang Nan was only fifteen years old, but he had already received such a medal award. I dare not say that there will be no one like him in the future, but it is unprecedented.

Irene was shocked by this.

She had never imagined that her son's talent in potions was so high that he was recognized by the Order of Merlin, which was truly amazing.

"My dear son, you have won honor for the Prince family." She hugged her son happily and said. The Prince family was once one of the pure-blood families, but it was a pity that it had already fallen into decline.

But now, her son has shown an extraordinary talent for potions and is destined to restore the glory of the Prince family.

Xiang Nan was also very satisfied with this honor.

To be honest, it didn't matter to him whether he got the Order of Merlin or not. After all, he had already won higher honors.

However, for Snape, it is quite fortunate to be recognized by the Order of Merlin.

In the original "Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban", when he learned that Sirius Black had escaped and the Order of Merlin that he was about to get was also lost, he was so angry that he lost his composure on the spot.

Now that I have helped him obtain the Order of Merlin, I have helped him realize his wish.

……

Subsequently, The Daily Prophet, Wizard Weekly and other newspapers also sent people to interview Xiang Nan, and subsequently reported the event extensively in newspapers and magazines.

People also found out that Severus Snape, who developed the wolfsbane potion, was actually a young student who had only graduated from the fourth grade and had not yet entered the fifth grade.

For a moment, the entire wizarding world was somewhat shocked.

"Potion genius~"

"Potion Prince~"

"Potion Master~"

A series of good reputations were bestowed upon Xiang Nan, which made him famous and well-known in a short time.

Some people wrote anonymous letters to thank Xiang Nan for developing this magic potion so that they no longer have to worry about biting their loved ones.

Many masters in the field of potions wrote to Xiang Nan, hoping to discuss potion-related issues with him.

There are even several foreign magic schools that have invited Xiang Nan, hoping that he can come to them for exchange and study.

For example, Beauxbatons in France, Uagardo in Africa, and Castelo Broxo in South America.

These magic schools are also good at making potions. Among them, the author of "Advanced Potion-Making", a textbook studied by sixth graders at Hogwarts, is Libasho Pollach, who graduated from Castellobrookso School of Magic.

To be honest, Xiang Nan was very moved by their invitation.

Because he had only seen Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry and had never been to other magic schools, it would be nice to go and take a look.

But after careful consideration, he finally rejected their invitation.

On the one hand, the exchange study lasted at least one semester, and he was the only one going, and Lily couldn't go with him, so they had to be forced to separate. And they were fifteen or sixteen years old, the age of falling in love, and it was easy for them to be tempted by other people, so Xiang Nan couldn't take such a risk.

On the one hand, Xiang Nan believed that his knowledge reserve was not unprecedented, but it should be quite sufficient. After all, Hogwarts had accumulated knowledge for thousands of years, and Voldemort had taught him carefully, which was definitely extraordinary. Therefore, even if he went to other schools, he might not learn much new things.

Besides, he has too many secrets, Animagus, Five Elements Taoism, Voldemort's Horcruxes... If they were exposed, it would not be a good thing.

Therefore, Xiang Nan simply refused. After Voldemort was dealt with, he would have plenty of time to travel around. Then, he could visit those schools.
