Chapter 128 Stone
Is the female ghost going to run away?
Karan was stunned for a moment. He quickly turned around and looked behind him, and found that just as Snape said, the female ghost in black witch robes had turned her back to them and floated into the distant woods.
Karan looked at the black shadow. He still didn't know where the female ghost appeared from.And now, it was only the second time he met the other party.
"Hurry up!"
He didn't think for long. After shouting quickly, he ran out of the invisibility cloak again.
The dense forest to which the female ghost floated was so dense that it was impossible to wear an invisibility cloak normally.
"Card......"
Lily opened her mouth, but didn't have time to grab Karan's arm and hang it in mid-air.
"It really pisses me off!"
She whispered angrily, and then skillfully wrapped the invisibility cloak into a ball.
Snape looked at her and couldn't help but smile.
"I never knew Karan was so adventurous."
Lily murmured in a low voice, her tone somewhat complaining.
"The potion preparation room is enough to surprise me, but it is just for preparing some high-level potions, but he actually dares to do this in the Forbidden Forest."
She said as she and Snape continued to chase Kahlan.
"Had I known that, I would have made an agreement with him in advance, and by the way, I could also add Penny's matter to it. I haven't figured out how to face her when I get home. I mean, after all, it's holiday time It's been so long, what if I were...Sev? Are you okay?"
She suddenly noticed that Snape's expression became very stiff, his lips pursed hard, and he looked indescribably weird.
"No...nothing."
Snape pretended to reply in a nonchalant tone, but his pretense was so bad that even Lily could see that he was becoming more and more unnatural.
"Maybe I'm too tired from running."
After thinking for a long time, Snape finally came up with an excuse.
Lily turned her head and glanced at Karan's back. She finally slowed down her pace.
"Forget it, I'll chase it slowly with you," she said.
"I don't know when Karan became so good at running away."
Lily looked confused, but Snape didn't look relieved.He lowered his head slightly and became even more silent.
On the other side, Karan's body floated lightly in front of him from time to time.Under the illumination of the moonlight, the witch's robe swept behind him, turning him into a bat-like black shadow, gliding through the dense woods, and even looked somewhat similar to the female ghost.
With the constant high-pitched laughter, Karan became more and more confused.
Because the female ghost did not run around in a panic due to the effect of the laughter potion. Instead, she seemed to have a very clear purpose, floating in an unchanging direction in the woods.
This gave Karan a bit of a bad premonition.
"The forest holds many secrets."
This is what Ronan said back then.
Karan was convinced.
But this did not slow him down, it just allowed him to move forward firmly.
Tonight would be the last night he spent at Hogwarts in his first year.
Tomorrow is the official start of the holiday.
Karan's eyes narrowed into a thin slit, staring at the figure in front of him, and he also stepped on an ant nest at his feet.
"What bad luck."
He murmured softly, lowered his head and cast a descaling spell, and then continued to pursue him.
The female ghost continued to laugh during the journey, which caused a lot of commotion in other places in the woods. It was unclear whether it was because of the breeze blowing, or whether there was something there originally.
After another five minutes, through the female ghost's sharp laughter, Karan suddenly noticed something strange.
It's the sound of gurgling streams.
And as Karan moved forward, the sound of the stream became clearer.
Karan blinked, and he suddenly felt something was wrong.
He did not remember that there was a non-being like a female ghost in the Forbidden Forest, nor did he remember when there was a stream in the Forbidden Forest.
But in Karan's impression, he vaguely remembered that when he first sneaked into the Forbidden Forest, he seemed to hear a similar sound of running water, but he didn't pay much attention at that time.
Karan did not wonder for too long. After crossing a small elm forest again, the scenery ahead suddenly changed.
Inexplicably, a small lake appeared in front of him, and the sound of the stream came from here.
After the female ghost floated onto the lake, she flew directly into it.
Karan stood on the shore, silently looking for the black shadow, but the female ghost did not float again, but simply disappeared.
So, this female ghost came out of this lake?
While Karan was thinking, several figures suddenly appeared in the woods not far away. One of them shouted in surprise: "That ghost thing just flew in!"
Under the moonlight reflected on the lake, the faces of these people gradually became clearer.The leader is James, the person who just called out is him.Sirius stood side by side with him. It was hard to imagine that even after walking through such a dense forest, his appearance did not become ugly because of this, but was still full of elegance.
Peter followed them in a panic. He looked extremely frightened, and even his body could not help but tremble slightly.
In his hand, he was holding a ball of silver-gray braid.
That's James' invisibility cloak.
Lupine did not appear among them, and it was not a full moon tonight. It seemed that he did not want to participate in this group activity, especially when it was a blatant violation of school rules.
"It's you?"
James was surprised to recognize Karan.
At this time, there was a sound in the woods behind Karan, and Lily and Snape finally caught up.
After seeing each other, both sides were stunned for a moment, but Lily quickly led Snape to Karan and asked him: "Where is the female ghost? Why is it just you?"
Karan pointed at the lake and said nothing.
James heard the conversation between them and asked loudly, "Do you know what that damn thing is?"
Lily turned to look at them, with another look of disgust on her face.She didn't like these people from the beginning.
Snape also didn't answer. After noticing James' frivolous tone, he snorted sarcastically.
James raised his eyebrows.
"Oh, I forgot."
He deliberately said loudly: "Is there a title missing, right? Boss?"
Sirius chuckled slightly, his tone somewhat contemptuous.
Karan's test scores were really not that good, far behind both of them.
Peter looked like he was about to laugh in agreement, but the sound that came out came out as a shaky whimper.
The experience in the Forbidden Forest had completely frightened him.
This time, Lily didn't go to see Karan, she took the initiative to stand up.
"You disgust me!" She expressed her inner feelings without any secret.
"Ha!" James exclaimed exaggeratedly: "Of course, you are number one in your grade, and you have the right to despise everyone, except the 'boss' who only hides behind you!"
"That's beautifully said!" Sirius praised without hesitation.
"What about you!" Snape on the side immediately sneered: "You just yell everywhere in the school, trying to attract other people's attention, like a baboon in heat!"
James immediately stared at Snape, recognizing the boy who had taunted him on the train.
"You have no place to speak here, follower." He said coldly: "I really don't know how you got together with the two of them. Just look at yourself. What method did you use? Help Did they take their luggage home?"
"Maybe it's just because he can't afford a mirror at home," Sirius added harshly, "so he has to wash his face in the cesspool every day - right in his own room."
Snape immediately pulled out his wand, his face contorted with anger.
Lily's expression turned into hatred when she looked at them, and the wand in her hand was also pointing at them.
The opponent was not slow either. While raising his wand, James even had the time to continue taunting Snape: "So you are not a smelly follower, but another one brought by your 'head'." Bodyguard, right?”
"I don't think this is a wise decision, especially the bodyguard's hair style, which is greasy and looks like a sticky snot——"
Before he could finish saying the word "snot-nosed man", a stone the size of a fist suddenly floated up and hit him hard on the side of his face, leaving a few bloody marks and hitting his whole head. Tilted over.
Sirius on the side was not spared, and a stone of the same size hit his cheek.After landing again, several long bloody hairs were already stuck to the surface of the stone.
Peter stared at this scene dumbfounded. He quickly protected his head, but no stone flew towards him.
But the wand in his pocket suddenly floated out automatically, hovering in front of him, the tip of the wand pointed at his trembling face.
The other two wands were also pointing at James' swollen cheeks and Sirius.After such an impact, he finally lost his lazy temperament.
Both of them were stunned by the sudden change, their heads were buzzing, their ears were full of tinnitus, and there was even a hint of blood in their mouths.
They backed away cautiously, but the wand hovering in front of them immediately followed them. The distance between the wand tips was even a little closer, as if giving a silent warning.
Karan finally turned around and looked at them expressionlessly, his eyes a little cold.
"You, either go back to the castle immediately."
He said coldly.
"Or just shut up."
