Parents of Hogwarts

"You...you have to go by yourself"

At the Hufflepuff table in the Great Hall, Steve looked at Callan in confusion, and Gaspard's eyes gradually became a little weird.

After all, Karan only agreed to find an opportunity to go to the Forbidden Forest at Steve's request, so why did he abandon Steve in the end?

Karan had already anticipated the reaction of the two of them, especially when Gespard paid special attention to saying that he would take him with him the next time he went to the Forbidden Forest.

But Karan had a good enough reason.

"Because you can run faster this way."

He looked directly at Steve: "After all, the anomaly in the Forbidden Forest has not been resolved yet. If we encounter any danger, we must find a way to escape."

"It's more convenient for me to go alone, so just think of it as going to explore the route in advance, and I'll go with you next time."

Facing Karan's gaze, Steve muttered dissatisfiedly: "You can say what you say, but always look at me like this, and I won't hold you back..."

"Lu Wei, there is still a curse to keep quiet."

Karan said these two points casually, and Steve suddenly felt guilty and stopped talking.

When he and Karan first went to the Forbidden Forest, whether it was Lu Wei's sudden appearance or another invisibility cloak they happened to encounter, they almost caused big trouble.

If it weren't for Karan's prompt enough handling, the two of them might have been exposed long ago.

"But if you go by what you said, the number of times we can go to the Forbidden Forest is only six times."

Gaspard suddenly said something coldly, and Karan nodded without refuting.

Because these six times are exactly the total number of matches between the four houses in the entire Quidditch season at Hogwarts, and this is also the most likely chance to avoid Professor Meadows.

"Then what are your plans?"

Karan asked Gaspard, and Steve looked at him nervously, fearing that he would be left alone to watch the game.

"Then I won't go this time."

Steve was relieved by Gaspard's answer, and he pushed up his glasses with his fingers: "The production of magic threads must take into account the use in any scenario, and Quidditch can also be counted as one of them. There’s no better research solution than seeing a game in person.”

"You mean the wand that might be used in the game?" Steve asked.

"not only that."

Gaspard pushed up his glasses again: "Maybe it can also include flying broomsticks."

"However," he added: "After all, there is only one game between Gryffindor and Slytherin this year, and I don't want to miss it like this."

"Whether it's the use of a wand or the control of a broomstick, this is probably the game with the most reference value."

"Maybe it will include fecal eggs," Karan added uncertainly, "or something else."

Steve looked at them left and right, and he suddenly said in a panic: "Doesn't that mean that this game will be very dangerous and will not affect the audience?"

In the accounts of these two people, they did not regard this game as an ordinary event, but instead were filled with all kinds of abnormal sense of crisis.

"rest assured."

Gaspard patted Steve on the shoulder, as if trying to comfort him.

"It's illegal to kill someone, even during a Quidditch match."

The expression on Steve's face suddenly became more horrified.

"But you have to take me with you next time."

Gaspard ignored Steve's increasingly panicked look and said to Karan: "After all, there are only six chances."

"no problem."

Karan turned to Steve and asked: "Where did you put the invisibility cloak? I'll prepare it in advance."

Steve shivered and told the location where the invisibility cloak was placed. Then he asked cautiously: "No matter how dangerous this game is, it should not be as dangerous as the one in 1473."

He was talking about the first-ever Quidditch World Cup final between Flanders and Transylvania.

In this game, all 700 fouls were committed, including but not limited to transforming the pursuit hand into a skunk, trying to decapitate the goalkeeper with a machete, and removing it from under the Transylvania captain's robe. Release a hundred vampire bats and axes to attack the opponent.

It's a miracle no one died in that game.

"How is that possible?" Karan said funnyly: "With Professor Meadows here, there is no way she would let this happen."

As he said that, he added: "At most, it will just make you contaminated with feces."

Upon hearing this, the expression on Steve's face suddenly changed from horror to disgust.

"Let's go."

Gesper pulled him up forcefully: "Go ahead and grab a seat at a close distance so that you can observe the game well."

Steve was almost forcibly dragged out of the auditorium by him, talking uneasily about things that didn't matter where he was.And Gaspard's face was expressionless, as if he had found a cover to resist the dung eggs.

After walking out of the auditorium together, Karan happened to bump into Lily and her two roommates named Mary and Marlene. Three of the four future robbers were walking not far behind them.

Lily asked Mary and Marin to wait for her, then she trotted up to Karan and looked suspiciously at the direction he was going: not the castle door, but the stairs to the basement.

"You really don't want to go to the game?" Lily asked in surprise. She didn't seem to take Karan's previous explanation seriously. She just thought it was a joke that he deliberately changed the subject.

"Of course." Karan said, "I have a lot of things to be busy with."

He looked mysterious.

Lily blinked and asked in a low voice: "Is it because of the magic gold coins?"

As soon as he saw her expectant look, Karan couldn't help but laugh.

"That's it."

He didn't give a definite answer, but he still gave a reminder: "The game will be over by then. Don't bring your emotions into the potion preparation room because of the result."

Compared to the secret passage, the three of them all agreed that this name was more ordinary, and at most it only reminded others of places like the Potions classroom.

"Gryffindor may not lose"

Lily said arrogantly, looking very confident.

"That's right"

James, who happened to be passing by, heard this last sentence, and he said loudly and obviously: "Gryffindor's Quidditch team is the strongest."

As he said that, he looked at Karan up and down, which was exactly the same as Sirius's behavior next to him.

Lily turned around in disgust, getting further away from them.Karan asked in confusion: "What happened to them?"

He looked at the two people who had not yet left, and the follower Peter who was following them.

"Why are they staring at me like that?"

Lily disdainfully told Callan about James' previous provocation. James and Sirius carefully observed Callan's reaction, seemingly trying to connect the man in front of him with the encounter on the train.

"Is that so..."

After listening, Karan nodded.

"He was right."

Karan said nonchalantly, causing Lily to look at him suspiciously again, feeling that he was pretending to be low-key again.

"I really can't beat him on a broomstick."

Karan smiled and added: "After all, his performance in the flying class has been witnessed by all of us. I can't use the broomstick so skillfully."

"Ah"

James smiled proudly, high-fived Sirius in celebration, and glanced at Lily provocatively, making her even more angry.

"Karan."

Lily simply turned her head and asked in a low voice: "Is what you said true or false?"

"of course it's true."

Karan still looked indifferent, but this behavior of showing weakness first really gave Lily an all-too-familiar sense of déjà vu.

He used this trick every time he argued with Sif.

"But..."

Sure enough, Karan then glanced at James and Sirius, and he said slowly.

"We are on the ground now."

"what"

James didn't hear clearly for a moment, and he subconsciously asked: "What did you say?"

Sirius looked at him inexplicably, and Lily showed a slight smile again.

"I'm leaving." She said with satisfaction, leading Mary and Marlene out of the castle.

Karan also didn't explain much. After looking at Meadows' back from a distance, he continued walking up the stairs to the basement.

Just like Mr. Newt's judgment, Meadows may have a kind soul when it comes to magical beasts.

But he's not some magical creature.

But a real wizard.

Thanks to Da Yanger for the 200 point reward.

Thanks to Qingjing Sanxian for the 100 point reward.

Thank you.
