Parents of Hogwarts

"There are so many courses in first grade..."

"That's a course that only sixth grade students take..."

"The place where the potion is prepared, and where the ingredients come from..."

"In case the preparation fails..."

Still in the Potions classroom, Lily and Snape talked about the difficulties they would face when preparing advanced potions. Karan did not show any impatience and just listened quietly.

"And do you really need our help?"

Lily asked very suspiciously: "I can see clearly during class that you won't show off your magic talent at all unless necessary."

"In the Potions class just now, you didn't even do much. Greta was all helping."

Listening to Lily's words, Snape also nodded silently, which happened to be what he observed.Apart from the first Defense Against the Dark Arts lesson, Karan had never shown much of himself.

Even in the Charms class, which he was obviously best at, Karan had never helped his college earn even a single college point.

"the reason is simple."

Karan had already thought of the reason, and he explained frankly: "You can understand that what I like is just magic itself."

"As for the Academy Cup, things like attracting attention..."

Karan waved his hand indiscriminately, with a look of disdain on his face.

"I don't care that much."

"Okay..." After looking at each other silently, Lily reluctantly compromised.

This kind of Karan is not much different from the Karan in their impression.

In life, apart from books and books, there is magic, magic, magic.

It's monotonous and boring, but it's always full of interest and never gets tired of it.

"As for Potions class..."

Karan slapped his mouth dryly twice and made a gesture with two fingers. There was only a small distance between them.

"The proportion of magic contained in Potions is too low, and wands are rarely used."

Karan shook his head and sounded a little regretful: "It's like a history of magic class."

"No fun, no fun."

"Then why do you want to prepare a high-level potion?" Lily asked in confusion, and Snape looked at him with the same confusion.

In Karan's words, this is not something he would bother to do.

"Of course...for you."

Karan's eyes turned around, and finally rested on his long hair that was no longer so greasy, and he laughed secretly in his heart.

Snape was stunned.

"What does this mean?" he asked.

"Aren't you interested in Potions class?"

Karan said matter-of-factly: "In that case, it's better to put more thought into this course."

"This is better than learning some black magic."

Snape's face suddenly stiffened for a moment, but he soon lowered his head with a complicated mood. Long strands of hair covered his face, making it difficult to see what expression was on it.

"This is indeed a good idea." Lily on the side did not see this scene. She just swayed slightly and thought carefully.

"But the sixth-grade courses are still too difficult..." Lily lamented at the end, lying on the table and staring at Karan blankly: "Not everyone is like you... ..."

Kahlan looked away from Snape and raised the book with a smile.

"Chigmuntbach."

He pointed at the author above and suddenly began to introduce: "He was born in the sixteenth century. He was admitted to Hogwarts at the age of 11, and became the best student in the Potions class at the age of 14. , and was even able to correct the teacher’s mistake when using the tail of a soft-clawed land shrimp to make a potion.”

"And also in the same year, he applied to the then principal to participate in the Magic School Potions Championship because he felt that he was fully prepared at the time."

"Then what happened?" Although she was confused as to why Karan mentioned this matter, Lily couldn't help but asked, "What happened next?"

"He was rejected."

Karan shook his head and said with regret on his face.

"The principal at the time thought he was too young, not yet 17, to cope with the dangers encountered in the championship."

"Chigmuntbach took it as an insult and, in anger, left the school in protest and has never regretted it."

"After that, Chigmunt was not eligible to participate in the tournament because he no longer had the status of a student. So, angry and painful, he secluded himself on a remote island called Hemetra, where he spent a long time, Conducted experiments, improved potion recipes, and created new potions.”

"All these potions and dispensings are recorded in this book. He hopes that one day, this book can help a budding student complete his youthful regret and win the magic school potions championship. .”

"So...he invented the potions in this book" Lily asked in shock.

"Yes."

Karan's tone was also somewhat emotional: "We have learned about potions to treat boils, as well as sleeping potions, shrinking potions, polyjuice potions, and even elixirs."

"Either it was invented by him, or it was improved by him."

"An ancient recipe passed down from my great-grandmother eventually created one of the most accomplished potions experts in history."

Also, another lunatic.

Karan added secretly in his heart.

Just like Mr. Ollivander, these wizards seemed to him to be unusually extreme.

That is, a group of hopeless lunatics.

"What on earth is going on with the Magic School Potions Championship you're talking about?"

Snape finally raised his head. He was unconsciously attracted by the story Kahlan told.

Karan raised his eyebrows and smiled slightly: "This is a competition that has been held since 1407. It is participated by four magic schools: namely,,, and."

"This competition is held every seven years. The grand prize is a pure gold crucible, which is estimated to be quite expensive."

When he said this, Karan deliberately raised his eyebrows at Snape. Snape's face became a little gloomy, but he just continued to listen silently without interrupting.

"Of course."

After joking, Karan continued: "Rather than the grand prize, what is more important is the fame that this competition will bring to the participants. At least for a pharmacist who is eager to succeed, this is a rare and valuable opportunity."

"You know so many things." Lily couldn't help but sigh.

"As long as you look carefully, they will be available in the library."

Karan explained casually, and then he continued: "In short, what I want to say is that whether you can prepare a high-level potion or not, you have to try it to know."

"As for other questions..."

Karan thought thoughtfully and said: "The ingredients can be bought in Diagon Alley, and the owl in the school can do this. The frequency of preparing potions does not need to be too high, after all, we usually have our own things to do."

"Don't forget the magic gold coins." Lily reminded in a low voice with some anticipation.

"I know."

Karan nodded and smiled: "How could I forget such a thing."

"As for the place where the potion is prepared..."

Karan rolled his eyes, several suitable targets appeared in his mind, and then he eliminated them one by one.

"There are generally suitable choices that will prevent others from discovering the things we do. After all, it is too shocking for a junior to do such a thing, and it may violate school rules."

He didn't explain much about this, he just asked the two of them again.

"So, what are you thinking about?"

After a pause, he added: "I can pay for all the expenses. Anyway, I am richer than both of you."

He showed that arrogant expression. Lily deliberately pretended to be disgusted and vomited twice, while Snape remained silent as always.

"Let me think about it again." Snape lowered his head and said hesitantly: "After all, it's just a suggestion now, and those high-level potions..."

Inexplicably, when Karan mentioned the cost, the feeling of inferiority surged in his heart again.

"Then I'll wait a little longer."

Lily said arrogantly. She had not completely forgiven Karan for his previous attitude, so she deliberately made him angry and said: "Let's see how you behave during this period first."

"no problem."

Karan also deliberately showed that gentle smile, which made Lily grit her teeth in anger.

"I will arrange everything properly and give you a perfect environment."

"There are still reasons that cannot be refused."
