Save the Bachelor of Heaven

 Chapter 4142 4144【Recruiting Little Barty】

Hogwarts.

"Little Barty, your ability is really good." Xiang Nan smiled and said to Barty Crouch, "Are you interested in making potions with me?"

Barty Crouch Jr. was born in the pure-blood Crouch family and has a deep family background. He was actually born in 1962 and should have entered school two years ago.

However, his mother had always been in poor health and did not want him to leave her side. Therefore, although he received the admission notice to Hogwarts in the past two years, he did not come to school to report. Instead, he had been studying at home with his mother.

Until this year, his mother's health improved, and Barty Crouch Sr. believed that his son was always trapped at home, which was really not conducive to his growth.

Little Barty Crouch himself also wanted to come to Hogwarts to study and play with his peers, so he officially entered the school this year. He entered the third grade directly as soon as he arrived.

Although he had been studying at home before and did not receive a formal education, he was still very capable due to his family background.

He performed very well in classes such as spells, potions, herbal medicine, transfiguration, and defense against the dark arts, so he quickly became popular in the academy.

Xiang Nan knew that Barty Crouch Jr. was a person who longed for family, friendship, and a sense of belonging.

He has always longed for the approval of his father, Barty Crouch Sr., and Barty Crouch Sr. was also very satisfied with his son's performance.

For example, in "Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire", when Barty Crouch Sr. got rid of the shackles of the Imperius Curse and went to Hogwarts to ask Dumbledore for help, he was already delirious and spoke garbled words, but he still I remember that my son’s OWLS results achieved perfect scores in twelve subjects, and I was very proud of him.

It's a pity that neither father nor son knew how to communicate, which resulted in a huge gap.

Barty Crouch Jr. believed that his father did not love him until his death, so he committed the evil act of patricide. But in fact, Barty Crouch Sr. has always loved his son deeply in his heart.

Otherwise, I would not be obsessed with my son getting perfect scores in twelve subjects in the OWLS exam, I would not risk my reputation to rescue my son from Azkaban, and I would not take him to watch the Quidditch World Cup...

It's a pity that Barty Crouch Jr. didn't know or realize all this, so he resolutely embarked on the evil path.

He joined the Death Eaters, became friends and comrades with them, and worshiped and served Voldemort as his ideal father.

But in fact, Voldemort is truly emotionless and treats everyone as his pawns. The Death Eaters are also intrigues and are at odds with each other. There is no friendship at all.

Barty Crouch Jr. hanging out with them was really trying to get the best of both worlds.

Because of this, Xiang Nan extended a helping hand to him.

…

Since little Barty longs for family, friendship, and a sense of belonging, Xiang Nan gives him family, friendship, and a sense of belonging.

Xiang Nan believes that his personality charm is no worse than Voldemort's. Voldemort can conquer Barty Jr., and he can do the same.

In this way, he will have a strong general on his side, and Voldemort will lose an effective subordinate.

Because Barty Crouch Jr. is a pretty powerful person.

He is extremely strong, and the twelve OWLS certificates have fully demonstrated his intelligence and talent. And his fighting ability is not bad. Together with Peter Pettigrew, they defeated the old Auror Moody.

You must know that it is actually much more difficult to defeat than to kill, because to defeat you must keep your hands open and cannot kill, and you must not make too much noise.

Therefore, his combat effectiveness is almost on par with Professor McGonagall, Snape, Professor Flitwick, etc.

Moreover, he had a brilliant mind and took advantage of the opportunity of the Triwizard Tournament to take advantage of the situation and successfully take away Harry Potter from Hogwarts.

If it hadn't been for Voldemort's wand, and if Harry hadn't been lucky enough to have a wand with the same core as Voldemort's wand, Harry would have had almost no chance of surviving. So the plan devised by Barty Crouch Jr. was almost seamless.

In addition, his acting skills are also good. He pretended to be Alastor Moody for a year before Dumbledore finally saw through it. This is no longer simple.

For example, Professor Quirrell was already possessed by Voldemort and guided by Dumbledore within a few days.

It can be seen from this that Barty Crouch Jr. is really a talent, almost similar to Snape in the original work, and is worthy of cultivation.

…

"Really, Severus?" Barty Crouch Jr. felt a little flattered when he received Xiang Nan's invitation.

Because everyone knows that Xiang Nan is already a master of potions at a young age. He successfully developed the Wolfsbane potion and was recognized by the Order of Merlin.

Such a genius, now he actually invites me to cooperate, that is really my honor.

"Of course." Xiang Nan nodded, "I heard Professor Slughorn say that your grades in Potions class are very good and you are the best among your classmates.

As it happens, Professor Slughorn and I are developing a new potion. If you are willing, you are welcome to join. "

"Thank you, of course I am willing." Little Barty said immediately.

Being invited by Xiang Nan to participate in the development of new potions was really a good thing for him who longed for honor, was eager to make contributions, and to impress his father.

"Very good, you are welcome to join." Xiang Nan smiled and stretched out his hand.

Little Barty also happily held Xiang Nan's hand.

…

Later, Xiang Nan worked with Lily, Barty Jr., Professor Slughorn, etc. to develop potions or make various magic props.

Developing magic potions is not too difficult for Xiang Nan.

On the one hand, he himself knows many lost prescriptions, including Chinese medicine prescriptions and magic potion formulas. Just take out some of them and it's enough to shock the world.

For example, a very practical anti-swelling ointment can be made by replacing the Chinese medicinal materials used in traditional Chinese medicine for reducing swelling and pain with magic potions that have the same medicinal effect.

For example, laxative is very effective in treating constipation.

Just like Muggles in the Muggle world, wizards in the wizarding world also face the problem of constipation. Especially in women, the incidence rate is about twice that of men.

Therefore, in order to treat constipation, the seventeenth-century wizard Urquhart Laharro even invented the intestinal evisceration spell.

However, when this spell is cast, the patient will be in great pain, so this spell originally used for treatment later turned into an inhumane attack spell.

Many dark wizards like to use this spell to take out the intestines of their opponents, which can be said to be quite cruel.

So Xiang Nan combined traditional Chinese medicine and magic medicine to develop a laxative, which can be effective quickly after just one dose.

After this potion was launched, it became very popular. Many wizards, especially witches, sent letters of thanks to Xiang Nan, thanking him for curing the constipation problem that had troubled them for many years.

Xiang Nan did not take all the credit. He divided the credit for the successful development of the potion among Lily, Barty Jr. and Professor Slughorn, so that they could share the glory as the inventors of the laxative.
