Save the Bachelor of Heaven

Everyone present naturally gave Slughorn face, and seeing him praise Xiang Nan so much, they all agreed.

"Horace, your vision is never wrong."

"Professor Slughorn has always had a keen eye. Since he said you are the most talented student, then you must be."

"This child is very smart at first glance. I hope you can be successful in the future and give me a chance to write your autobiography."

Everyone smiled and said to Xiang Nan.

Xiang Nan thanked them one by one, but he was not carried away in his heart.

He knew that the reason these people praised him was entirely for Professor Slughorn's face. Just like the neighbor's child, no matter how ugly, you have to praise him as cute out of affection, the same reason.

After the introduction, Xiang Nan was free to move around.

He then found Gregory, who was eating a cake with a hearty meal.

"If I had known that he had invited you, I would have come with you." Gregory smiled, "But I still don't know what he invited us to do."

Xiang Nan laughed when he heard it.

The Fry family is one of the twenty-eight pure-blood families in the magic world, and has certain connections and status. The same is true for the Malfoy family, the Potter family, the Black family, etc.

Slughorn invited them to come, undoubtedly wanting to include them in his slug club. In the future, he can use the connections and power of these pure-blood families to achieve his own goals.

Of course, he is not bad-hearted, and he has no ambitions. He does not want to unify the magic world and cause chaos. He just enjoys the feeling of being flattered, surrounded, and needed.

…

"I don't think it's interesting. It's just a group of people bragging." James Potter came over and pouted.

"Yes, I hate this kind of boring social interaction the most." Sirius Black also echoed.

Xiang Nan smiled, not surprised by their reaction.

James Potter's parents had a son in their old age, and they always doted on him. This also made him develop a young master's temper, unwilling to bend down and please anyone.

Sirius Black was even more rebellious, and he and James Potter hit it off immediately on this point, so it was really destined that they could become best friends.

"Professor, I remembered that I have something to do at the college, so I want to leave in advance." At this time, Lucius Malfoy said to Slughorn.

Ever since Xiang Nan came to the party, he felt uncomfortable all over and didn't want to stay in the same room with him. Especially seeing Slughorn praising Xiang Nan so much, he couldn't stand it, and felt that every word Slughorn said was like a slap in his face.

"Lucius, I know how you feel." Slughorn waved his hand and said, "You are from the Malfoy family, and you will graduate next year. You have a bright and great future.

But I tell you, how far a person can go and how high he can climb depends not only on his starting point, but also on his talent, his will, and what he has gained along the way.

Severus is one of the most talented students I have ever seen. He has just entered the school and has been able to defeat five seventh-year students. Do you know what this means?

Hogwarts has been established for a thousand years, and the number of people who can do this can be counted on ten fingers. Do you hope that such a person will be a friend who can help you in the future, or an enemy who will go against you?"

Lucius was slightly startled when he heard Slughorn say this.

"In fact, as far as I know, there is no deep hatred between you, right? It's just a failure in the duel, there's nothing to worry about.

I have never lost to anyone in my life. But not only will I not hate him, but I will be friends with him. Only by making friends with the strong can you go further.

Otherwise, if you always hang out with people like Goyle, Crabbe, and Yaxley, you will only fall to the same low level as them." Slughorn finally said, "Come on, do me a favor and reconcile with him. It will be good for you."

Lucius Malfoy nodded.

...

Slughorn then pulled Lucius to Xiang Nan and said with a smile, "I heard that there was a little conflict between you. Young people, how can you not lose your temper. Come on, shake hands, and turn everything over like a book, okay?"

Xiang Nan didn't say anything and looked at Lucius.

It didn't matter to him whether to reconcile or not.

Because his strength was not comparable to Lucius. The wealth of the Malfoy family was nothing but a pile of dung to him, so he was not afraid of Lucius causing trouble.

"Junior, forgive my previous recklessness." Lucius forced a smile, slowly stretched out his hand and said, "I was wrong, I apologize to you, let's turn this page, okay?"

"Of course." Xiang Nan nodded and held his hand, "Senior and I have no conflicts, not to mention that the professor has said so. Senior Malfoy, everything is over."

"Great, come, let's have a drink." Seeing this, Slughorn immediately smiled with satisfaction. Then he summoned three glasses filled with butter beer.

Xiang Nan smiled, raised the glass, and drank it all.

After the reconciliation, Lucius turned and left.

Xiang Nan noticed that after he left, he immediately took out a handkerchief from his pocket, wiped his hands vigorously, and then threw the handkerchief into the trash can.

It seemed that shaking hands with Xiang Nan was a great humiliation for him.

Seeing this, Xiang Nan couldn't help but curl his lips.

If Lucius wasn't still useful, he really wanted to use the Wedding Dress Magic to absorb all of his magic power.

"Dude, you disappoint me so much. Why should you reconcile with such a person? You should just keep fighting him!" James Potter pouted.

"Yeah, people like him are not sincere at first glance. You shouldn't reconcile with him. You should fight him to the end." Sirius Black also added fuel to the fire.

"Don't worry, if I can deal with him once, I can deal with him a hundred times." Xiang Nan smiled, "Today, the professor is the matchmaker, and I am doing the professor a favor. If he dares to provoke me again in the future, are you afraid that I won't have a chance to deal with him?"

"That's right." James nodded and smiled.

"Yes, deal with him well." Sirius also smiled.

...

After chatting for a while, Xiang Nan noticed that there was a large bookshelf in Slughorn's office.

The bookshelf displayed hundreds of important books on herbology and potions, many of which were not even in the Hogwarts library or the Prince family collection.

For example, the earliest alchemy book in ancient Egypt, The Emerald Record, the Book of Magic Potion by the potion master Zygmunt Budge, the Enhanced Magic Potion by the potion master Arsenic Giger, the Advanced Magic Potion Guide by the potion expert Libasho Pollach, etc.

Xiang Nan was immediately mesmerized by the books, but he didn't dare to take them out and read them without the owner's permission.
