Slughorn's eyes narrowed: with his years of experience, of course, he could see the wand in Lin Xiao'an's hand at a glance...... handles...... It's pure, pure, and true...... Kimda!

But...... According to common sense, even if it is for the purpose of beep-bar, if Lin Xiaoan is a child of a real rich (background) family, then the gems set in the wand handle should also be matching treasures, not a diamond with a wide open door!

Slughorn couldn't have imagined that Lin Xiao'an would not hesitate to replace the booked carat diamond with one hundred and eight machine-cut artificial water (glass) crystals (glass) just because of the ridiculous reason of "what if the drill is swollen"!

(Lin - Xiao An, who has a strong nouveau riche temperament: Otherwise, how can labor and management be "trenches", do you see that "soil"?) …… What's the horse? You say that if the craftsmanship is exquisite enough, it is impossible to drop the drill? In case of! What if it drops? The money of labor and management is not blown by the wind, and it is also very laborious to turn stones into gold! ）

Slughorn remained silent—he was still in class, and after making a note of when he would take the time to ask Professor Snape about Lin Xiao'an's background, he continued to walk between the students' seats, observing the progress of each person's potion making.

……

In sixth grade, students don't have the time to relax and relax, but have to work hard to complete the lot of homework assigned by their teachers.

Not only do the students work hard as if they had to cope with exams every day, but the homework itself is much more difficult than before.

Now they are required to use silent spells, not only in Defence Against the Dark Arts classes, but also in Charms and Transfiguration classes.

In the common rooms or when eating in the auditorium, it is not uncommon to see sixth-graders with red faces and secretly fighting with themselves, as if they had taken an overdose of constipation—they were actually practicing their ability to make magic work without pronouncing the spell out loud.

It was only when they came to the greenhouse outside that everyone breathed a sigh of relief. The plants dealt with in the herb class were more dangerous now than they used to be, but they could at least chant mantras aloud when the mandrake's poisonous tentacles caught them from behind unexpectedly.

In the weeks following the start of the school year, Dumbledore only made two public appearances - each time in a hurry, with a solemn look.

The Daily Prophet is also reporting more and more bad news, but fortunately, Hogwarts Castle seems to be impregnable, and there are no students in trouble yet.

……

"Xiao An, you ......" Harry said cautiously, for fear of touching one of Lin Xiao'an's (fragile) nerves, "Are you okay?" ”

At dinnertime, Lin Xiaoan sat at the long Gryffindor table with his hands folded - he wore nine rings on his ten fingers - in addition to Gringotts' VIP withdrawal ring, there were solid gold with diamonds, solid gold with rubies, pure gold with emeralds, and pure gold with ...... All! Only the left ring finger representing "married" was vacated, and even the left middle finger representing "engagement" was not spared.

Lin Xiaoan smiled confidently, his hands were shrouded in a faint hazy golden light, and the gems on them were shining brightly, colorful and beautiful, looking from afar, like Thanos's father's gloves.

“…… I'm fine, Harry. "Although it is a little tiring to wear such rings, compared to having to sit on a pony and cut the roots of the tree before the Potions class, Lin Xiaoan is very willing.

……

Although Lin Xiaoan will make a fixed donation to Hogwarts (hush money) every school year, Lin Xiaoan has no right to interfere with how this money is used.

In the past, the reason why Professor Snape bought and bought all kinds of potion materials so nourishingly was because Lin Xiaoan had extra filial piety in private.

Now that Slughorn is in charge of teaching the Potions class, Lin Xiaoan can't make a special trip to Gay Deng to ask Gay Deng to add more office funds to the Potions class for the reason of "the baby just can't endure hardship, and the baby doesn't want to work~" - I don't want to lose face with the excellent local tyrant An?

In order to reach a "tacit understanding" with Slughorn, Lin Xiaoan conscientiously maintained the "local tyrant" character - you don't see, Slughorn has not let Lin Xiaoan "do chores" for a long time, but "enthusiastically" guided Lin Xiaoan when he was making high-level potions?

……

Lin Xiaoan said softly, "Harry, can you please help me make that plate of smoked salmon...... Move it a little bit? I can't seem to lift my hands. ”
