Chapter 109 It doesn't matter

"Okay, kids, remember to practice the lockpicking spell when you get back. Especially you, Mr. Stebbins."

In the Charms classroom, Professor Flitwick screamed: "Remember, what we are learning is Alaho opening, not door opening. That will not allow you to open the door lock gracefully, but will only make you look like You break the door lock like an uncivilized baboon. There are not so many doors in the castle for you to break."

Amidst the laughter of the students, a little boy with a red face ran out of the classroom in a panic.

"Are you going to the potion making room?"

After class, Karan asked Lily quietly.

Lily hesitated for a moment.

"Sorry, Karan."

Finally, Lily sighed and said, "There is too much homework. I have to finish it before the next Quidditch match."

"Okay." Karan shrugged indifferently, indicating that he didn't care.

It was originally like this. The three of them always had their own things to do, which often made it impossible for them to spend their free time together.

"Where is Sif?" Lily asked curiously: "Isn't he going with you?"

"Yes."

Karan said casually: "He said yesterday that he was busy with something, and he probably won't be able to go today."

Lily showed a helpless expression, and she refused because she had no choice but to do so.Quidditch was more fun than she imagined, and she didn't want to have to worry about unfinished homework while watching the game.

"Don't you know where Andromeda went?" At this time, James' doubtful voice came from behind the two of them.

"I don't know. Tonks refused to tell me." Sirius shook his head and said, "Even Andromeda's parents don't know about this. I only know this from the letters from home."

"You're still communicating with them"

James deliberately joked: "I thought you had completely cut off contact with them, especially after that roaring letter."

"Just asking me if I want to go home during the Christmas vacation." Sirius looked nonchalant, but this always made him exude a noble temperament.

"Then what are your plans?" James said casually: "If you don't want to go back, you can come to my house."

Behind the two of them, Peter, who was practicing the unlocking spell with the lock in his hand with a distressed look on his face, raised his head hopefully, but James, who had his back turned to him, did not see this scene.

Peter twitched his lips a few times, but finally hesitated and said nothing.

"It's no use."

Sirius snorted: "I want to take a good look at the expressions on their faces after I get home. A Gryffindor named Black."

"Good luck."

After joking, James whispered again: "But Remus actually asked for leave again. I don't know how many times this has happened. I always feel that this thing is a bit weird, and what we overheard before Something about unicorns..."

His voice became lower and lower, and by the time they reached Karan and Lily, he simply stopped talking.

Several people looked at each other.

"Hello, boss"

James suddenly greeted Karan loudly, using the title that Lily hated the most. It was unknown whether it was because of the conversation at the auditorium door last time.

"This is on the ground, but I didn't see how many house points you got for Hufflepuff in Charms." He said in a deliberately frivolous tone.

In fact, his words could be considered a compliment.Karan has never performed well in the Charms class, and he has no academy points at all.

Lily snorted.

"A rude and arrogant guy." There was no trace of disgust in her tone.

James turned to look at her.

"It sounds like you have a problem with me," he said.

But Lily no longer wanted to pay attention to him.

"Karan, let's go." She said proudly.

"Maybe we should have a competition"

Behind him, James shouted provocatively: "Whether it's with a broomstick or on the ground, instead of always hiding behind a girl."

Neither Karan nor Lily looked back.

The two were walking along the long corridor. When they passed by a row of armors lined up straight, Lily finally couldn't help but break the silence.

"How long are you going to pretend?"

She became more and more angry as she talked, and her long dark red hair was like the anger in her heart.

"You should teach them a lesson, even if it's just by getting college points."

"I really don't understand why you treat them better than Sev."

"And Penny"

Lily glared at Karan angrily, as if he wouldn't give up until he said something.

Karan couldn't help but smile slightly.

"You're still laughing" Lily accused.

Karan then suppressed the smile on his face.

"Because it doesn't matter."

he finally said.

"Many people's opinions are irrelevant to me, and I don't need to express anything deliberately."

"After all, I came to Hogwarts to learn magic."

"Learn magic" Lily muttered dissatisfiedly: "In my opinion, just giving you a library is enough. There is no need to waste time coming here to go to school. Come and learn the knowledge with us that you already know."

Karan couldn't help but smile again.

"Don't underestimate Hogwarts so much."

He shook his head and then looked out the window at the sky.

"This is the best magic school in the world."

"Humph"

Although Lily didn't understand what he was talking about, she just had to deliberately mock him. Maybe this would also stimulate Karan's fighting spirit and make him more like a normal student instead of some blabbering old wizard. .

"Hey, that's...Sif"

At this time, a hurried figure caught Lily's attention. Karan also looked at it, and sure enough he saw the familiar hairstyle.

The slightly greasy long hair hung on the side of his face. Snape, who was distracted, suddenly stiffened when he heard the familiar voice. He subconsciously stuffed the book in his arms into his witch robe. He stopped, and then turned around like a twitch, his eyes slightly panicked.

"Karan said you won't go to the preparation room today. What are you doing?" Lily asked curiously.

"I...I went to the library."

Snape hesitated, lowering his head and not looking into Lily's eyes.

"There are still many deficiencies in improving the formula. I went to find some books on potions to read."

"Is that the one in your arms?" Lily asked, pointing to the bulging piece on Snape's witch robe.

"Which book is it that I can take a look at? After all, improving the formula is something the two of us have been working on together."

Snape didn't answer, his lips were pursed tightly, and anyone could see the tension and uneasiness on his face.

Lily's eyes became more suspicious.

"Isn't this from the restricted book area?" she asked hesitantly, "Have you obtained permission to sign the professors' autographs?"

Under Lily's questioning, Snape's yellow cheeks turned completely red.He was so panicked that he didn't clamp his arms tightly for a moment, and the book in his arms suddenly fell down along the witch's robe.

"Don't..." A sudden whimper escaped his throat.

But Lily didn't see what the book was.

Karan suddenly stepped forward, and the book automatically floated into his hand, but he didn't even lower his head to look at it, and just stuffed the book into Snape's arms.

"Let's wait until the next time we get together."

Callan's back was turned to Snape. He smiled and reminded Lily: "Don't you still have a lot of homework to complete? There will be a Transfiguration class by Professor McGonagall tomorrow. Don't be fooled by your own school then. The dean taught me a lesson."

"My homework grades are not as bad as yours." Lily's attention was immediately diverted, and she said proudly to Karan.

But then she muttered in a low voice: "Only if you can continue to pretend."

Karan smiled very deliberately, as if he was deliberately making Lily angry.

Behind him, Snape carefully hid the book again.

From beginning to end, he just bowed his head deeply.
