Parents of Hogwarts

"Twenty points to Gryffindor"

In the smoky Potions classroom, Professor Slughorn happily inspected the prepared potions in front of Lily and Mary McDonald, and did not hesitate to praise them.

"The perfect sobering agent. You are simply the most talented freshman I have ever taught."

Lily lowered her head shyly. She usually received compliments from other professors, but they were not as enthusiastic as Professor Slughorn's.Especially Professor McGonagall, who is always strict and only occasionally smiles.

Mary on the side pouted in embarrassment. Professor Slughorn had never praised her like this before, and he might not even remember her name.

"Obviously I can help too..."

While Lily was carefully comforting her, Karan came over quietly.

The potion he and Greta Kachilov made was also praised by Professor Slughorn, but the points added were less, only five points.

This is all thanks to Greta.

"Potions and gourmet food are very similar in some ways." She explained at the time: "Both require different ingredients and the timely magic during the production process."

After Karan came closer, Mary's face suddenly turned red. She lowered her head deeply and glanced at Karan's face carefully. Little did she know that all this was seen by Lily and Karan himself.

Lily glared at her angrily: "I know you're a nymphomaniac."

Mary's face suddenly turned redder.

With a smile on his face, Karan said to her in a gentle tone: "Miss McDonald, can you let me take up Lily's time?"

"Yes... yes."

Mary lowered her head and walked towards Marlene MacKinnon. Marlene asked her with a smile: "Don't you usually like Blake the most? Why do you act like this when facing Sangster?"

"Marlene" Mary whispered, looking a little annoyed and a little shy.

James, who was sitting in front of the two of them, raised his eyebrows and hit Sirius on the shoulder: "This is a strong competitor, man."

His voice was not concealed at all, and was completely heard by several people around him.

Sirius hugged his shoulders, his face full of casualness and indifference, but there was always a hint of arrogance and unruliness on it.

"A boring game." He said slightly bored.

“What a nasty bunch of guys”

Lily murmured in a low voice, with a look of disgust on her beautiful face, especially after seeing Mary even more afraid to raise her head, this expression became more obvious.

"And you"

Lily suddenly got angry at Karan who had a smirk on his face.

"What's wrong with me?" Karan immediately looked innocent. He also took out a glass bottle and asked Lily: "You don't want these sobering agents? I'll take them all."

Lily watched angrily as Karan took away all the potion in his cauldron bit by bit.

After twisting the cork of the bottle, Karan finally asked helplessly: "What's going on?"

"Penny's Reply"

Lily took out a stack of thick envelopes from her backpack. She seemed to want to throw them in front of Karan, but class was not officially over yet, so she had to take these envelopes and hit Karan's chest twice hard. Only in this way can she vent the anger in her heart.

"How long are you going to delay?"

She said: "Look at the papers above. They are all asking you how you are doing, and they are more concerned about me than caring about me. But you are not even willing to write a reply."

Karan glanced at it lightly and rubbed it lightly with his fingers. It was indeed a very thick pile.

He shrugged his shoulders with an innocent expression and said nothing.

"What do you mean?" Lily asked with a frown.

"It means..." Karan still looked extremely innocent: "What do you want me to do?"

Before Lily could say anything first, Karan continued: "I am a wizard."

"And Petunia, she's just a Muggle."

Lily was stunned, she couldn't believe what she just heard.

At this time, the bell for the end of get out of class rang.

Gaspard waved his hand towards Callan, and Steve's head crossed his shoulder, quietly looking at the two people who seemed to be having an argument.

"You guys go first." Karan said casually.

Gaspard nodded silently, but Steve whispered: "Wait a while, they seem to have a quarrel."

Gespard gave him a look of pity, because in the next second, a book in his hand suddenly hit Steve in the face.

But from other people's point of view, it was more like Gespard had done it himself.

At this time, Greta, who happened to be passing by, whispered a word of advice: "It's not his fault that Steve is not good at Potions. You can't beat him, Gaspard, even though I know you are talking to him." It’s always hard when you’re in a group.”

Steve's expression immediately changed from a cry of pain to one of grief and anger, while Guspard said expressionlessly: "He deserves it."

Gradually, everyone in the classroom disappeared, and the last four robbers also left after lingering for a while.

And Lily finally came to her senses.

"You...what do you mean?"

Lily's tone was a little annoyed, but also cautious.

She looked at Karan with complicated eyes, feeling inexplicably uneasy.

Today's Karan suddenly gave her a strange feeling.

Moreover, Lily looked like she was about to cry.

"what are you doing"

Karan burst out laughing: "What are you thinking about again?"

"What on earth did you mean by what you just said..." Lily whimpered slightly.

"Don't worry, I don't mean to discriminate against Muggles."

Karan comforted him nicely: "I don't mean to discriminate against blood. After all, I am a Muggle-born. In this case, who can I discriminate against? And I can't discriminate against myself."

"Then what do you mean?" Lily stopped sobbing and asked in confusion.

"I've already said it."

Karan spread his hands helplessly: "I am a wizard, and Penny, she is just a Muggle. She is destined to be unable to use magic."

"But that's the only thing that matters to me."

Karan's eyes were fixed on Lily, and he repeated emphatically: "It's crucial."

"So," Karan stretched out his hand to block Lily's thoughts of saying something: "Whether it's friendship or something else, in short, it's best for me not to have any more contact with Penny. "

"It's good for both of us."

Lily's green eyes stared at Karan, and she suddenly said to Karan in a mocking tone for the first time: "You mean to be good to yourself?"

Karan once again spread his hands helplessly.

Neither is certain.

But there is no denying it either.
