81 How about it? (Please recommend!)
"What on earth were you talking about just now?"
At the stairs on the third floor, Lily's question interrupted Karan who was in a state of thinking. He blinked in confusion.
"What did you say?" he asked.
"It's that snot curse," Lily pointed at the direction Frank and Alice left, and asked him, "There's also a counterattack."
Snape looked at Kahlan with the same confusion.He and Lily did not hear all of the previous conversation, but only a small part.
After coming back to his senses, Callan realized that they were not at the scene of the fight, so they did not know that Malfoy had sneaked up on him.
Karan simply told what happened.After listening, Lily frowned in annoyance, her cute little face tensed up.
"It's so irritating." Her nose wrinkled in disgust: "Fortunately it's you, otherwise I would be in trouble."
Snape's eyes widened in disbelief.
"Lucius would actually do such a thing"
He murmured uneasily that he was the one who told Karan whether he needed help from the Malfoy family, but he didn't expect that this would lead to him indirectly harming Karan.
For a moment, he couldn't help but feel a little guilty.
And resentment.
"This is them."
Compared to the two people who were excited, Karan showed a bit of indifference. He even had the time to smile at the two of them.
"This is how they view us."
"Okay, this is nothing."
Karan looked at the two of them funny: "The person who was attacked was obviously me, why are you two so angry instead?"
Lily glared at him dissatisfied, as if blaming him for not paying enough attention to such a thing.
Snape's eyes suddenly showed a hint of understanding: "No wonder you made him covered in soup and pumpkin juice that morning."
He suddenly thought about that day at breakfast.
"Oh" Lily blinked: "There is such a thing"
"Of course."
Karan once again showed his boastful look: "I am a gifted student with difficulty in sorting."
After the atmosphere relaxed slightly, Karan continued to lead them upstairs.Lily blinked and looked around. The corridor was filled with portraits walking back and forth, and the stairs moved back and forth restlessly.
While waiting for the next staircase to arrive, Lily finally couldn't help but asked quietly: "Where are you going to take us?"
Karan replied mysteriously: "You will know in a moment."
He had already thought about the place to prepare the potion.
Although little Hermione chose the abandoned bathroom on the second floor, Karan would not choose it the same way.
Even if Meadows didn't lead the Slytherin students to clean it up, that location was a women's bathroom after all, and neither Callan nor Snape had their own invisibility cloaks.
If this was discovered by others, even deducting college points would probably be a lighter punishment, and Snape might not be willing to do such a thing.
As for the Room of Requirement, Karan currently only places it in the second pick.
Compared to the possibility of being interrupted at any time, he already had a better choice in mind.
Finally, under the leadership of Karan, the three reached the end of the corridor on the fifth floor of Hogwarts Castle.The location here is very remote, there is no one else except them.
On the wall in front of the three people, there is a huge mirror hanging, which clearly reflects the appearance of the three people from top to bottom. This mirror is much taller than them.
"What are we doing?"
Lily asked Karan in the mirror. She also tidied her messy hair.
Karan turned around and raised his eyebrows at them: "Just do what I want in a while."
In the confused eyes of the two, Karan walked to the edge of the mirror.
There was only a very narrow gap between the mirror body and the wall behind it, and not even one of Karan's arms could squeeze through.
But after Karan walked straight towards the gap, his body became inexplicably thinner. After a while, Karan seemed to be swallowed up by the gap, and his whole body disappeared completely. .
Lily and Snape's eyes widened in surprise, but they both covered their mouths in time and did not make any noise.
After a few seconds, a small hand suddenly stretched out from the gap and waved vigorously at the two of them. Karan's voice came faintly from the gap: "Come in quickly."
"Be careful, don't let others see you."
Lily took the lead and walked over. She stared at the gap with suspicion. After secretly encouraging herself, she imitated Karan's previous actions and walked inside.
At the same time, Snape was carefully looking around, but as soon as he turned his head, Lily disappeared from his eyes, just like Karan.
After being stunned for a while, Snape carefully walked to the edge of the mirror, and when there was no one in the distance, he finally stepped in as well.
After regaining his composure, Snape discovered that the space inside was much wider than he had imagined. A passage almost as big as a mirror appeared in front of him. It looked like it could not even accommodate dozens of people for a duel. enough.
"This is a traceless stretching spell. It has probably existed since the emergence of this secret passage."
Karan briefly explained to the two of them. He waved to them and said, "But the location here is too close to the exit. We have to walk inside. Follow me."
He led the two of them toward the passage. Although the surroundings were a little dim, the inexplicable light that appeared in front of them still allowed them to see the path under their feet clearly, so as not to move forward in the dark.
"This...how did you find this place?" Lily's green eyes kept looking around, asking in disbelief.
"Just discovered it by accident."
Karan said casually: "You can come anytime if you want in the future, but be careful not to be seen by others. I haven't learned those large-scale protective magic yet, and it may not be applicable to the entrance here. Just in case. If you make a mistake, it might also affect the traceless stretching spell there."
"Where does this secret passage... lead to?" Snape suddenly realized this key point, and Lily also understood it instantly.
"Hogsmeade village."
Karan smiled and said: "That's probably where it is."
"But I haven't had time to explore the depths yet, so I don't know exactly where it leads. Maybe we can try it together if we have the chance in the future."
Lily couldn't help but feel happy, but then she couldn't help but worry a little: "But that's against school rules, after all, only third-year students can go to Hogsmeade."
Although she said this, there was still a trace of yearning in her almond-shaped eyes.
It was the only village in the UK where all wizards lived.
"Oh, why didn't I think of that?"
Karan pretended to be surprised. Lily was so angry that she slapped him hard twice. Snape also looked at him with some dissatisfaction. Karan's shout just now startled him.
"As long as you don't tell anyone, that'll be fine."
After teasing, Karan whispered deliberately and smiled meaningfully.
Lily didn't speak, but she began to look vaguely expectant, and Snape observed his surroundings more carefully.
It didn't take long for the three of them to reach the location where the light source came from.
The mid-air was filled with candles of various shapes, each one floating quietly, and a tray of suitable size was connected to the bottom. The wax oil inside was piled high, and it seemed that it had been burning for a long time. It illuminates the surrounding area so brightly that you can even see every corner of it clearly.
On the ground, the originally uneven road seemed to have been carefully smoothed, and long stone tables and chairs were placed around it, with soft velvet blankets spread on them, which looked very comfortable.
Among them, a long table was already filled with crucibles, brass scales, small medicine bottles of different sizes, and various potion ingredients carefully sorted. The two of them recognized narcissus, mugwort, etc. , valerian, shriveled fig, beetle wings...
And most of them are potion ingredients that they haven't learned at all.
Karan opened the package he received this morning and carefully poured the sleepy beans inside into a glass bottle.
"How about it"
He glanced sideways at the two people behind him who were already stunned, with a proud smile on his face.
“It’s pretty good here, isn’t it?”
