Chapter 121 Shouldn't
"Could the woman they are referring to be Professor Meadows?"
Under the invisibility cloak, Lily turned to look at the two of them. She guessed: "They are hiding something from Professor Meadows. Should we tell the professors what we just heard?"
Although Lily didn't like Professor Meadows at first because of Callan.But compared to Lucius and Narcissa, she still felt that Meadows would be better.
At least she apologized to Karan and bought him a lot of snacks.
"But we don't know exactly what they were discussing."
Snape whispered: "If in the end they just want to play a prank..."
"You're excusing them," Lily interrupted sharply.
"I...I didn't."
Snape avoided Lily's gaze and said in a panic: "I just heard a lot of things from others. These Slytherin seniors never pay attention to the school's rules. They always secretly Touch and do something, whether it's some special magic items or potions..."
"Or maybe it's dark magic."
Snape carefully studied the expression on Lily's face as he spoke the last words.
Lily stared at him angrily.
"Then you should stay away from them, Sev," she said. "Look at the consequences of those people. They are still being detained by Professor Meadows until now."
When he heard the name "Sev", Snape was no longer as happy as before, but became much sadder.
"I see."
He lowered his head and said, not letting Lily see the expression on his face.
"OK OK."
At this time, Karan made a smooth move: "We should go back. If it gets later, it will be curfew time. Recently, Mrs. Lorris has caught many students who violated the curfew, and I heard that Blake and Potter have Confined by Filch"
Karan asked looking at Lily.
Lily snorted dissatisfied.
"That's because they deserved to have to bet with others, and as a result Gryffindor lost a lot of house points."
After muttering dissatisfiedly for a while, she took a reluctant look at the rooms in the corridor on the fourth floor.
"But what should we do about Malfoy?" Lily asked, "We can't just do nothing."
"And didn't you want to catch up with them secretly in the first place?"
She asked looking at Karan.
Karan shook his head, with an unreadable expression on his face.
"I'm just curious, thinking they are hiding something from Professor Meadows," he said.
"But, that's Professor Meadows. Malfoy and Narcissa will be locked up in her hands for a long time. She will see it herself."
Facing Lily's increasingly suspicious gaze, Karan spread his hands helplessly and said: "And I don't think Meadows will believe what we say. After all, we are just a group of first-year freshmen. In other words, whether we say these things or not, Professor Meadows will not let them go."
"Just look at her attitude towards these senior Slytherin students. I suspect she will probably lock them up until Easter, or even exam week."
"No matter what they want to do, they won't have time to spare."
"Maybe we should figure it out ourselves," Lily whispered, and even Snape nodded in agreement.
He really wanted to know what Lucius was planning.Although Slytherin House was nice, it didn't seem to be as wonderful as he first imagined.
"But we don't have any extra time."
Karan said matter-of-factly, and patted Snape on the shoulder: "Don't forget about the potion formula. We finally got some results, and it's not time to let it go yet."
"Don't think about being lazy, I'm still waiting to publish a book."
Although Lily still didn't believe that they could publish a book, she still nodded helplessly after taking a look at Snape.
Now, even Snape had no reason to refuse.
The three of them separated. After Karan returned to the dormitory, Steve's head popped out of the suitcase. He asked curiously: "Where have you been?"
Since the Christmas vacation, Karan has always gone to nowhere with his invisibility cloak, and has become busier than both him and Gaspard.
At this time, Gespard also walked out of the magic tent, holding a notebook in his hand, which was the revision opinion recorded by Karan after using the magic thread.
"How's Wolf?"
Karan didn't answer. He deliberately changed the topic. Steve suddenly said happily: "I think Wolf likes it here more and more, and he also agreed to stay with me for a while. After all, I want to stay in Hog." Watts goes to school, and he can return to the Forbidden Forest anytime he wants."
"Of course, the premise is that the anomalies in the Forbidden Forest are resolved in time."
Karan nodded, and after communicating with Gaspard about the magic thread for a while, he put on the invisibility cloak again.
"You're going out again"
Steve, who had already changed into pajamas, looked at him with wide eyes.
Gespard, who was lying on the bed, also put on his glasses again and stared at him intensely.
"Have you been secretly going to the Forbidden Forest behind our back?" he asked expressionlessly, causing Steve to exclaim again.
Karan raised an eyebrow.
"Want to go together?" he asked.
Karan neither confirmed nor denied.
The two looked at each other and then lay on the bed together.
"Don't be ridiculous," Steve said.
"I won't help you find a professor again." Gaspard took off his glasses again.
Obviously, none of them thought that Karan would take such unnecessary risks to the Forbidden Forest again, especially when he almost encountered an abnormality last time.
However, Gespard finally asked suspiciously: "I really don't need to inform the professors for you."
Karan shook his head and smiled.
"No need," he said.
"I'll be back soon."
After saying that, he left the dormitory wearing an invisibility cloak.
In the silent castle, Karan walked quietly. He climbed up the stairs and kept going up.
When he passed by the fourth floor again, he glanced at the statue of the one-eyed witch from a distance, but he did not stop and continued walking up.
He didn't know if Lucius knew the existence of this secret passage, but it didn't matter, because the place where this secret passage led to was the village of Hogsmeade.Death Eaters can't make any waves there, after all, Hogsmeade Village is so close to Hogwarts Castle.
This is not something he should worry too much about.
Finally, he reached the eighth floor again and stopped in front of the blank wall.
The intact Vanishing Cabinet in the Room of Requirement is the real key.
Whether it's Lucius's abnormality or the crown's strangeness.
The solution to a complete solution is very simple.
Just destroy the vanishing cabinet.
"Pity."
Karan thought silently in his heart.
But after pondering for a while, he still walked back and forth in front of the wall three times, while thinking silently in his heart.
"I need a place to hide things."
"I need a place to hide things."
"I need a place to hide things."
Finally, the silent meditation ended, and Karan raised his head and looked at the wall.
Nothing at all.
Not a single door appeared.
Karan was stunned.
But in the next second, he immediately turned around and ran towards the dormitory again without hesitation.
There are already people in the Room of Requirement.
Along the way, Karan was frowning tightly.
The development of things has completely exceeded his expectations. He is only in the first grade now, but he clearly remembers that during the First Wizarding War, Hogwarts was the safest place in Britain.
He also never remembered a time when Death Eaters had attacked Hogwarts.
Obviously not once.
Dumbledore would never allow this to happen.
Voldemort, on the other hand, was afraid of Dumbledore.
"It shouldn't be like this..."
Karan murmured quietly.
At this time, he had already run to the corridor on the fourth floor again and gradually slowed down.
"Yes, it shouldn't be like this."
He narrowed his eyes slightly, walked to the statue of the one-eyed witch, and looked at it silently.
There was silence in the dark corridor.
Karan's frown slowly relaxed.
He is still only a first-year student.
And this is Hogwarts.
Things have changed.
But it doesn't matter.
It's never that important.
Finally, he turned around and left as if nothing had happened.
No rush, no rush...
He said silently to himself, and his figure gradually disappeared into the darkness.
