Chapter 4106 4108【Reincarnation of murder】
"Sev, have you moved?" Lily was surprised to see Xiang Nan's family moving to her community.
"Yes." Xiang Nan nodded and smiled, "My mother and I now make potions to make money, and my father now also opens a bar, so our family has become rich, and naturally we don't live in Spider End Alley. "
Spider End Alley is a slum area, and girls like Lily will be looked down upon if they frequent that kind of place. But if Xiang Nan moves out of Zizhidao Lane and into the same community, there won't be much of a problem.
"That's it." Lily nodded.
"However, the public opinion is that my mother inherited the inheritance from my distant aunt." Xiang Nan lowered his voice and said.
Large amounts of funds must have legal sources, otherwise they may be targeted by relevant departments at any time. It is precisely because of this that there is such a thing as "money laundering".
Although the money of Xiang Nan's family is clean and earned by pots of potions, this reason cannot be disclosed to the outside world after all. Fortunately, Gringotts has related services that can help customers solve this problem. Otherwise, it would be really a big trouble.
Lily nodded understandingly, "Congratulations on moving into your new home."
"Thank you." Xiang Nan smiled and said, "Our two families will be neighbors from now on. You are welcome to come to my house to play in the future."
"Definitely." Lily also smiled.
…
After a period of time, Lily often came to play with Xiang Nan, practicing spells with him at home, brewing potions, and reading magic books.
As the saying goes, Irene and Tobia have now risen from the poor to the middle class. They have even changed their living place, and their temperament and rest have naturally improved.
Although Eileen is naturally introverted and withdrawn and unwilling to socialize, she is actually not a bad person at heart. Otherwise, when faced with domestic violence from her husband, she would just be submissive.
Therefore, although she is not very enthusiastic about Lily, she will not turn her away coldly. Even when she was brewing the potion, she would give Lily a few words of advice and teach her some techniques for brewing the potion.
Tobia now regards himself as a middle-class gentleman and is not at all opposed to Lily coming to his home to play. And since he doesn't drink anymore, he won't scare Lily.
It is worth mentioning that after becoming rich, the Snape family's clothing also changed.
Before, the whole family wore old and tattered clothes. At first glance, they looked like poor people living in a difficult situation.
Now they all have new clothes. Although they are not luxury brands such as Burberry, Marbury, or Dunhill, they are still high-end brands, costing sixty or seventy pounds a piece.
For the middle class, clothes of this grade are already considered very good.
The family has moved to a new home and changed into new clothes, which gives people a very different impression. At least they can be regarded as decent people. Xiang Nan is very satisfied with this change. Although he doesn't care about food and clothing, who would think that he is living a good life?
However, since the Snape family moved from Spider End Alley, the surrounding neighbors still looked at people with colored glasses, thinking that even if their family got rich, they would still be tasteless nouveau riche, poor people from the slums.
Therefore, except for the Evans family who are close to them, others still dare not have too much contact with their family. I think this is actually a good thing for Xiang Nan.
Because their family is really not suitable for having too much contact with ordinary people. If they have too much contact, others will notice their faults. Just being so distant, it's fine to live our own lives.
On this day, Xiang Nan stayed at home, reading and brewing potions.
He is now brewing love potion, veritaserum, polyjuice and some relatively advanced magic potions. These potions are extremely difficult to brew and are naturally quite expensive. For example, a small bottle of love potion costs four galleons. Veritaserum, a small bottle costs six galleons. Polyjuice Potion was 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 that he has time during the summer vacation, and with his mother Irene on his side, he is ready to challenge the difficulty and accumulate more experience.
In this way, when he returns to school, he can also try to brew these high-level magic potions. That would undoubtedly be very helpful in improving his potion skills.
"Sev, look, another Muggle wizard was killed by Death Eaters." At this moment, Lily took a copy of the "Daily Prophet" and said to Xiang Nan.
Xiang Nan took the newspaper and read it, and sure enough, the Death Eaters killed someone again. They killed the family of Samuel Smith, a Muggle-born wizard. Besides him, there was his Muggle wife.
The bodies of the two people were lying on the floor of his house, and the mark of the Dark Lord was floating on his house, a huge skull swallowing a snake.
"They are getting more and more crazy." Xiang Nan shook his head when he saw this. "Before, they only killed Muggle wizards, but now they also kill their family members."
"Yeah, it's really terrible." Lily said with emotion.
"This is not the scariest thing." Erin said at this time.
"What?" Lily asked confused.
"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, but more articles supporting them.
Obviously, their actions conformed to the ideas of some big shots, so those big shots helped them create public opinion. "
When Xiang Nan heard this, he immediately looked at her with admiration.
Irene seemed like a submissive housewife, but I didn't expect that she would have such insight.
Then again, this isn't surprising. Erin is the captain of the Gobstone team at Hogwarts, and Gobstone is similar to the Muggle marbles game, a game that tests both IQ and operation.
If Erin was stupid, she wouldn't be able to play Gobstone, let alone be the captain. It can be seen 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 Death Eaters' power not be defeated, it may even develop further." Xiang Nan murmured.
Voldemort's claims are now supported by conservative pure-blood families in the wizarding world. Conservatives hope to use his hand to eradicate Muggle wizards and shock the wizarding world in order to safeguard the interests of pure-blood families.
Therefore, the more Muggles Voldemort killed, the more support he received from conservatives, allowing his power to further expand.
But Voldemort would not be willing to be someone else's lackey. After all, he always thought highly of himself and considered himself the descendant of Salazar Slytherin. How could he be subordinated to others and be driven around by others?
So when his power grows to a certain level, those pure-blood families will also suffer backlash. As Kingsley Shacklebolt said in Harry's Lookout, "I would say 'Wizard First' is only a short step from 'Pure Blood First', and one step beyond that is 'Death Eater'" First'."
That is, during the First Wizarding War, before Voldemort took control of the British wizarding world and revealed his true tyrannical nature, he was accidentally killed 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 did not dare to resist because of his power.
