Save the Bachelor of Heaven

In the next few days, Xiang Nan studied hard.

He had a high talent for learning and was very smart. He not only had a photographic memory, but was also good at drawing inferences from one example. Therefore, the professors of various subjects were very satisfied with him.

In addition to studying with professors of various subjects, he also read books eagerly and absorbed the knowledge contained in them.

However, Xiang Nan currently only read books in the library, Ravenclaw dormitory, and common room, and did not read the books he collected from the Room of Requirement.

The reason was very simple. The reason why those books were hidden in the Room of Requirement was that most of them were banned books. Not only were the contents recorded very dangerous and evil, but even the books themselves could be dangerous.

In Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, Ron once said, "There are some books confiscated by the Ministry of Magic, one of which will burn your eyes. Anyone who has read the book "Wizard's Sonnet" can only speak in limericks for the rest of his life.

An old wizard in Bath has a book that you can never put down once you read it! You bury your face in the book wherever you go, and have to learn to do everything with one hand..."

So Xiang Nan is ready to lay a good foundation. First, he will finish reading the books in the Ravenclaw common room and the library except the "forbidden book area". After laying a good foundation, he will read the books in the Room of Requirement.

The books in the Ravenclaw common room and the non-forbidden book area of ​​the library have been checked by professors of all generations, and there will be no great danger to students.

These books cover many subjects such as Charms, Potions, Transfiguration, Herbology, History of Magic, Magic Literature, Divination, etc. After reading them all, the knowledge accumulation must have reached a very high level.

I dare not say that I am on par with top masters like Grindelwald, Dumbledore, and Voldemort who are well-informed and experienced, but at least I am at the level of Minerva McGonagall, Horace Slughorn, and Filius Flitwick.

At that level, I will have a very high ability to protect myself. At that time, it will be no problem to read those forbidden books. And after laying a good foundation, it will be easier to learn and understand those taboo knowledge.

…

"Severus, something new, the school has planted a Whomping Willow in the garden." Benjamin said to Xiang Nan with great interest, "Many people don't believe in evil, ran over to provoke, and ended up being beaten."

Xiang Nan was stunned, then nodded.

I know that the Whomping Willow was planted for Remus Lupin. When Lupin was four years old, he was bitten by the werewolf Fenrir Greyback, and since then he has been transformed into a werewolf, and he will become a werewolf every full moon.

Once a werewolf transforms, it will lose its mind and attack others everywhere. Even if there is no one around, they will hurt themselves, so it is very dangerous and terrifying.

Therefore, in order to prevent Lupin from hurting innocent people when he transforms, Dumbledore will send him to the Shrieking Shack. It is an abandoned vacant house just outside Hogsmeade Village. Lupin will stay there after the transformation, so he will not be afraid of hurting others.

After the full moon, he can go back to school. There is a tunnel in the Shrieking Shack connected to Hogwarts, and the exit of the tunnel is in the garden of Hogwarts.

Dumbledore planted the Whomping Willow at the entrance of the tunnel to prevent others from entering the tunnel. As the name suggests, the Whomping Willow will swing its branches to whip anyone who approaches.

It has thousands of branches, and even a seventh-grade student may not be able to deal with it. In this way, there is no need to worry about Lupin's secret being discovered.

...

Xiang Nan knew this secret, but he was not prepared to leak it.

Because he had no grudges against Remus Lupin, it was not worth harming him. After all, once his werewolf identity was exposed, he would definitely be unanimously ostracized and expelled by parents. After all, no parent would let their children go to the same school as werewolves. At that time, Lupin's situation would be even more embarrassing.

Moreover, he sympathized with Lupin in his heart, knowing that he was actually a very good person, smart and capable, hardworking and hardworking, kind-hearted, loyal to friends, loyal to his lover, and friendly to his partners...

But he also knew that planting the Whomping Willow or sending Lupin to the Shrieking Shack were only stopgap measures. The key was to prepare a potion that could treat werewolves or temporarily suppress their madness.

As far as Xiang Nan knew, a wolfsbane potion had appeared in the original book. As long as it was taken one month before the full moon, it would be able to stay rational during the full moon and not hurt others or itself.

This potion was developed by the famous wizard Damocles Belby, and he also won the honor of the Order of Merlin Second Class for his contribution to this potion.

However, this potion was only successfully developed in the 1990s and has not appeared yet. Xiang Nan plans to consolidate the foundation of potions and then take time to develop the wolfsbane potion.

By then, he will not only be famous and receive the Order of Merlin, but also make a lot of money by selling the wolfsbane potion, and give back to his poor family in a fair and just way.

You know, since the day he left home for school, when Tobias Snape gave him twenty pounds, Xiang Nan has changed his mind about this old man and is ready to pull him out of the quagmire.

However, although he had money in his wallet at that time, it was not easy to give it directly to Irene Prince. Because he couldn't explain how such a large sum of money came from. If he could develop the wolfsbane potion, it would at least be an excuse.

...

It was eight o'clock on the weekend, and Xiang Nan came to Professor Slughorn's office.

He had heard the melodious music coming from the office from a long distance away from the door.

Xiang Nan went forward and knocked gently on the door, and the office door opened immediately. It was Slughorn who opened the door.

"Severus, you are finally here. I thought you were shy." Slughorn smiled.

"Professor, I'm sorry, I'm late." Xiang Nan apologized.

"No, you are just in time." Slughorn smiled, "My friends just arrived, and I am showing you off to them. Come..."

He then took Xiang Nan into the office. Xiang Nan noticed that Lucius Malfoy, Gregory Foley, Sirius Black, James Potter and others were also there. After seeing Xiang Nan, Gregory, Sirius, James and others greeted him with surprise, but Lucius's face suddenly turned cold.

"Come on, kid, let me introduce you to the guests of today's party." Slughorn patted Xiang Nan's shoulder intimately, and then introduced him.

There were the Deputy Minister of Magic Creed Hemsworth, the Director of the Department for the Regulation and Control of Magical Creatures Amos Diggory, the editor of the Daily Prophet Barnabas Guffey, and the owner of Slug \u0026 Giggs Pharmacy Adam Giggs...

"This kid is really good, a genius in potions and spells, one of the most talented students I have ever seen." Slughorn introduced with a smile.
