Chapter 4093 4095【Conservative】
“I have to say that some of his claims are quite reasonable.” Hertok Davos, vice president of the Association of Extraordinary Pharmacists, said with a smile. Apparently he is also a member of the conservatives.
Hearing what he said, Deputy Minister of Magic Creed Hemsworth nodded, "What he said does make sense, but his approach is questionable."
When Barnabas Guffey, the editor of the Daily Prophet, heard this, he immediately smiled and asked, "Mr. Undersecretary, can I take your statement as the official statement of the Ministry of Magic?"
"Of course not." Creed waved his hand and said with a smile, "No matter what, at the official level, we still have to condemn it."
"Your Ministry of Magic should show some courage. Since the tragedy, many Muggle-born wizards no longer dare to enter Diagon Alley at will. This has had a great impact on our store's business." Slug & Giger complained Adam Giggs, owner of Smith's Pharmacy.
“No way, wouldn’t your pharmacy’s business be better at times like this?” Amos Diggory, Director of the Department for the Control of Magical Creatures, laughed.
"Business has improved a lot, and many people want to stock up on more potions." Adam Giggs nodded, "But the Muggle wizards who supply me don't dare to come. In fact, forgive me for telling the truth. , the quality of potions prepared by Muggle wizards is generally better than that of pure-blood or mixed-blood wizards.”
Hearing what he said, many people here looked really ugly.
Because there were obviously more pure-blood wizards among the people present, they generally advocated the concept of "pure-blood supremacy". How can you not be angry now when you hear Adam Giggs praising Muggle wizards for making potions last better?
"Nonsense, in our Extraordinary Pharmacists Association, most of the pharmacists are pure-blood or mixed-blood, and the proportion of Muggle wizards is very small. Their general level cannot keep up with pure-blood wizards." Hull, Vice President of the Extraordinary Pharmacists Association Tok Davos scolded.
“Yes, children from pure-blood wizarding families have learned to brew potions since childhood, how can they be inferior to Muggle wizards?” Deputy Minister Creed Hemsworth also refuted.
“I don’t think that’s possible.” Amos Diggory, Director of the Department for the Control of Magical Creatures, waved his hand. “There are indeed some good Muggle wizards, but they are still not as good as pure-blood wizards.”
…
Xiang Nan was reading and listening, thinking that what Adam Giggs said made sense.
Because Muggle-born wizards generally receive better basic education before entering the wizarding world. They learn literature, mathematics, science (including physics, chemistry, biology), humanities (history, geography), art (music, fine arts), etc. from an early age.
In comparison, pure-blood wizards are basically educated at home, and they mainly learn magic-related knowledge. This leads to their deficiencies in literature, mathematics, science, etc.
According to Hermione, most wizards do not have the ability to reason logically. In fact, students in Ravenclaw are locked out of the common room every day because they cannot answer questions.
Making magic potion requires not only a smart mind and a rigorous attitude, but also careful thinking. Muggle-born wizards are relatively better off.
Furthermore, most pure-blood wizards live a privileged life. A family like the Weasley family, who are pure blood but live in such poverty, is actually quite rare in the wizarding world, so they are often teased by Malfoy. So they couldn't afford to brew potions and sell them.
But for Muggle-born wizards, brewing potions is a good way to make a living. Therefore, after long-term cooking, we have accumulated experience and improved the process, so it is normal for the quality to improve.
…
Being so criticized by a group of big guys, Adam Giggs pursed his lips, obviously a little unconvinced. After all, he runs a drugstore, and his job is to purchase and sell goods. He has a clear mind about who gets the potion better and who gets the potion worse, unlike these big guys who all praise purebloods for no reason.
“Okay, okay, no need to argue anymore, how about another glass of Firewhiskey?” Slughorn smiled and smoothed things over, “Actually, whether it’s pure blood, half blood or Muggle wizards, there are good ones.
For example, we have Severus, who is of mixed race and is the most talented student in potions that I have ever seen. It only takes thirty minutes to successfully brew a pot of refreshing potion. "
"That's really good. Who are his parents?" Hertok asked in surprise.
Perhaps an effective cold remedy, developed by Glover Shipworth in the 18th century. The cooking method is not difficult, but it is really impressive to be able to cook it successfully in thirty minutes.
You must know that even the pharmacists of the Extraordinary Pharmacists Association will take at least more than 20 minutes to refine the refreshing potion.
“His mother is Eileen Prince.” Slughorn introduced with a smile.
“It turns out to be the inheritance of the Prince family, no wonder!” Hertok nodded and smiled.
The Prince family is also an ancient family that has been passed down in the magic world for a long time. It is just that because of the sparse number of people, it is dying day by day. The ancestor of the Prince family, First Prince, was a master of potions. He once developed well-known potions such as growth hormone, vitality potion, and powerful healing potion.
“He has the talent for potions inherited from the Prince family. No wonder he is so good at brewing potions.” Creed also smiled.
“Yes, this proves the superiority of pure-blood wizards, because we all know that magical talents are passed down through blood.” Amos Diggory also smiled.
“That’s right.” Everyone agreed.
Xiang Nan pursed his lips and smiled, but he disagreed with their statement.
Because there are many idiots in pure-blood families, such as Goyle, Crabbe and even Lucius who are not very strong around Malfoy. In the battle at the Ministry of Magic, he led a group of Death Eaters, but they couldn't defeat Harry and several fifth-year students.
But it’s still the same sentence. Others spoke softly, and it was not his turn to say anything to refute.
Rather, he noticed Adam Giggs’ words and discovered a small business opportunity, “Mr. Giggs, are you short of potion supply now? Can I help you brew the potion?”
"You?" Adam Giggs was stunned for a moment, then smiled, "Okay, but what kind of medicine can you brew? I have no shortage of ordinary medicines."
"I can brew love potions, truth serum, compound decoction, shrink potions, joy potions, powerful healing potions, etc." Xiang Nan said, "There are also some potions unique to the Prince family, such as vitality potions. Potions, invisibility potions, dragon power potions, etc., my mother Erin Prince taught me how to make potions when I was five years old, so I already have seven years of experience in making potions.”
"It seems you are really capable. Well, if you can really brew these potions, then I will buy them at a reasonable price." Adam Giggs smiled.
Xiang Nan nodded after hearing this.
