Chapter 4170 4172 [Medal of Merlin, First Class]
Soon after, Xiang Nan sent letters to Tobia and Irene, telling them that Voldemort had fallen and they could return to England with peace of mind.
Tobia and Eileen were also very happy after receiving the news, and then took the plane back to England.
In fact, they have been in Australia for the past two years. Although they have had sunshine, beaches and delicious food, they have always been worried about Xiang Nan, afraid that something might happen to him.
But they repeatedly wrote letters asking Xiang Nan to come to Australia for reunion, but Xiang Nan always refused, and they had no way to enforce it.
Now that it's better, Voldemort has fallen, and all the Death Eaters have been captured. Finally, they can reunite boldly without worrying about their heartache.
After they returned to England from Australia, they did not return to Cokeworth to settle.
First, the house in Cokeworth City has been sold, and they will buy another house to live in when they return. In this case, it is better to buy a house in London;
Secondly, Xiang Nan and Lily have already settled in London. Their business in Diagon Alley is also very prosperous, and they will definitely live in London in the future. In that case, why should they go back to Cokeworth? They might as well stay in London.
So Xiang Nan helped them buy a house in London, only one block away from Xiang Nan's current home. In this way, you can avoid interruptions at ordinary times, and you can get over them in time if something happens.
When the children grow up, they don’t want to live with their parents. This phenomenon is not only found in China, but is also very common abroad.
…
During this period, Xiang Nan was awarded the First Class Medal of Merlin for slaying Voldemort and capturing a group of Death Eaters.
As a result, he became the youngest wizard to receive this level of medal, which is the highest honor in the wizarding world.
At the same time, the Wizengamot Wizards' Guild, which represents the highest authority of the Ministry of Magic, also sincerely invites him to join.
In the magical world, the Wizengamot Wizards are equivalent to the Chamber and the Parliament. There are about fifty members, usually pure-blood wizards.
Even the Minister of Magic has no power to change what they decide, so the power overrides that of the Minister.
It is precisely through this that wizards from pure-blood families control most of the power in the wizarding world.
But the fall of Voldemort and the arrest of the Death Eaters put them in a very passive situation.
Because many Death Eaters or their family members are members of the Wizengamot, such as Rodolphus Lestrange, Henry Selwyn, Inez Qrow (the father of the Qrow brothers and sisters), Rand El Nott (Leo Nott’s grandfather)…
Now that they or their family members were arrested as Death Eaters, they were naturally unable to serve as members of the Wizengamot and were forced to resign.
Xiang Nan happened to have won the highest honor in the wizarding world by killing Voldemort, so he received an invitation from the Wizengamot Wizards at a young age and became a member of it.
He is also the youngest.
If he was determined to pursue an official career, it would not be surprising for him to take over as Minister of Magic based on his reputation in the wizarding world in another ten years.
However, Xiang Nan has never been interested in official career.
In the following time, he mainly studied the books in the goblin treasure house, and also studied the secrets of Hufflepuff's golden cup and Ravenclaw's diadem.
Hufflepuff's golden cup can break Gamp's law of transformation and conjure delicious food out of thin air. This is a very remarkable holy weapon. If we can study it thoroughly, we will no longer suffer from hunger.
The crown of Ravenclaw can enhance the wisdom of the wearer. And knowledge is not power, wisdom is power.
As long as it is used properly, even a mouse can defeat an elephant.
So Xiang Nan has been researching and trying to find a way to reproduce these two sacred objects. …
During this time, Barty Crouch Jr. successfully graduated from Hogwarts.
With the help of Xiang Nan, he did not follow Voldemort as a Death Eater, but instead worked hard to fight against Voldemort.
Many of the magic props, anti-spell equipment, potions, etc. in the Dragon Power store all have his ingenuity.
After he graduated, he originally wanted to work in Dragon Force, but later at the request of Barty Crouch Sr., he decided to work in the Ministry of Magic.
Xiang Nan didn't mind this, "It's also good to work in the Ministry of Magic, and being an Auror is also very prestigious. Or if you really can't stand the bureaucracy of the Ministry of Magic, you can also start your own business. You are so capable, you can do anything. Not difficult.”
"Thank you, Sif, I knew you understood me." Little Barty said gratefully.
During this period, Regulus Black was also caught by the Aurors of the Ministry of Magic.
It turned out that he was a Death Eater, who was recruited by Igor Karkaroff, and then Regulus Black was arrested.
This left her mother, Walburga Black, heartbroken.
Her eldest son, Sirius Black, had betrayed the family, and now she was left with her only youngest son.
If her youngest son was also sent to Azkaban Prison, she would have no interest in life.
Therefore, in order to save her son, she did not hesitate to scatter her family wealth, and begged every relative and friend of the Black family, hoping that they could reach out and spare her son's life.
Of course this is all in vain.
Because Voldemort and the Death Eaters have done too many wrong things over the years, and have been outraged by both humans and gods, no one is willing to risk the world's disapproval and risk their own reputation to save a Death Eater.
However, when interrogating Regulus Black, Xiang Nan suddenly said, "Regulus, take out the locket in your arms."
Regulus was stunned for a moment, then took out the fake Slytherin's locket from his arms.
Everyone looked at Xiang Nan in confusion, wondering what he was doing?
"Regulus, can you tell me where you got this locket?" Xiang Nan asked.
"..." Regulus remained silent.
He found this locket from Voldemort's cave.
Although he already knew the news that Voldemort was killed at that time, he did not know the news that Voldemort's Horcrux had been destroyed. Therefore, in his opinion, Voldemort is not dead yet and may come back.
Therefore, he resolutely took the house elf Kreacher to the island in the middle of the lake, preparing to get Voldemort's Horcrux and destroy it.
As a result, when he drank the liquid in the stone basin with determination to die, nothing happened to him, and he easily obtained the locket.
But he later discovered that the locket was actually fake and was easily destroyed by him.
Only then did he realize that Voldemort's Horcrux had been swapped and destroyed long ago, so everything he had done was in vain.
In this case, he didn't dare to take credit, thinking that he helped get rid of Voldemort, and naturally he didn't have the shame to plead for himself.
