(); On the other side, after the wand fell to the ground, James and Sirius were silent for a while.
This time, it was James who picked up the wand first.
"Alas." He sighed: "When Sangster heard about the stone door and the portrait, there was no expression of surprise on his face. They were obviously like us, they all came down after thoroughly completing the test. .”
"I lost again."
Sirius also picked up the wand. He stared at James silently and suddenly said: "If you ask me, that is a genuine wandless magic. Even the graduates can't do it. We can't beat him either." It’s a normal thing.”
"Don't think too much, man, we just passed the test of Gryffindor himself, and..."
He whispered: "Those two rapiers are still waiting for us to come back to pick them up. No collector will refuse them, they will definitely sell for a good price."
As expected, James' attention was diverted. He looked at Sirius in surprise: "You want to sell them?"
"Keep your voice down." Sirius quickly reminded: "Don't forget, I have always been at odds with my family, and I might move out in the future. I just made preparations in advance."
"Of course, Gryffindor's rapier will definitely be left to you. All I plan to sell is Slytherin's."
"Those pure-blood families will never reject Slytherin's relics."
James grinned: "That's a good idea."
"Besides, like I said before, you can come and stay at my house anytime. My parents would definitely welcome a true Gryffindor."
Sirius bumped fists with him in tacit understanding: "Don't worry, I will always remember it."
The two regained their composure and followed Karan and Snape from a distance towards the exit of the hall.
After walking a short distance, James suddenly said: "Perhaps, I should also try to learn wandless magic."
Sirius looked at him sideways.
"Are you serious?" he asked.
James didn't hesitate at all, he immediately said: "Of course!"
"We are the real Gryffindor. There is no reason why we will lose to the real Slytherin."
"Well...even if Sangster was originally a Hufflepuff."
"I mean,"
James began to recount the writing he saw on the portrait.
"[The students we teach must be brave, fearless, courageous, courageous, and have the spirit of chivalry.]"
"You have seen this before."
He turned to look at Sirius and said with a serious expression: "Gryffindor has many requirements when selecting students, but it does not let us learn to give up."
"And admit defeat!"
Sirius stared at James silently, and after a short while, he spread his hands helplessly.
"What else can I say?"
Then he immediately grinned as well.
"Of course I support you unconditionally, man!"
"One day, we will defeat that guy - in a head-to-head duel!"
At this time, Karan and Snape, who were walking far in front of them, suddenly stopped and turned their heads to stare at them silently.
The two paused for a moment and looked at each other silently.
"What are they doing?" James asked doubtfully: "Isn't it because the rapier thing has been exposed? Or are they suddenly planning to steal our reward?"
Sirius frowned.
"At least Sangster probably wouldn't do that," he said.
"Otherwise he wouldn't have mentioned your mother twice."
"Besides, he is still a Hufflepuff, not a Slytherin."
Even so, they both took out their wands.
"If I had known better, I would have bought him an ice cream." James said, "This might have brought him to our side."
After saying this, even he couldn't help but grin.
Sirius also smiled and said: "A real Gryffindor will never admit defeat. I think he will not regret this kind of thing that never happened."
"Of course." James reminded him by the way: "Remember to hold the wand tighter, we have to guard against his move - before I also learn wandless magic."
"Let's go," Sirius said at last.
The two of them walked warily towards Kahlan and Snape who were at the exit. They did not slow down, but they did not appear anxious because of this.
Finally, the two sides met in front of the rippling water curtain.
This time, Callan didn't point his wand at them again, not even Snape.
But after seeing the two men's vigilant postures, Snape laughed in a low voice.
James looked at him with raised eyebrows, but at this moment, Karan finally spoke.
"I think we should at least reach a consensus about this building."
He ignored the wands in their hands and said calmly: "It's best not to let too many people know about this place, especially the professors in the school. After all, there are relics of the founders here. If they discover If it does, it will be difficult for us to come here again.”
"In this case, perhaps we will have no chance to know what exactly exists behind those two inaccessible stone doors."
James glanced sideways, and Sirius nodded silently.
"No problem," he said.
This was originally their own plan.
Karan smiled with satisfaction.
For some reason, James and Sirius felt inexplicably relieved when they saw this smile.
They were just too nervous.
"Okay, let's go then."
Karan smiled gently.
But when he said these words, the person looking at him was not Snape.
But James and Sirius.
James was stunned for a moment, but Sirius quickly tugged on his arm and reminded him in a low voice: "Quickly give me some of the gillweed, and we'll talk about the rest after we get out."
Only then did James come back to his senses. Karan obviously had his own purpose in doing this.
Although he was a little unhappy, James still ate the gillweed with a frown, and waited silently with Sirius for his body to begin to change.
During this time, Karan was not idle either. He cast the Fire and Water Invulnerability Curse on himself and Snape.James was so excited when he saw this. He and Sirius only had time to use their wands to remove the water stains on their clothes after they arrived here.
But Karan paid no attention to them.Even while waiting, he became slightly impatient.
Fortunately, the gillgrass finally took effect in time.
James looked back at them one last time, and then plunged into the water curtain together with Sirius.
"Next, it's our turn."
Karan cast a head soaking spell on himself and Snape respectively, and then rushed into the water curtain together.
The time difference between the two sides is not much, or even just the difference between one after the other.
James and Sirius looked back at them in confusion, but neither Kahlan nor Snape seemed to have any intention of leaving immediately.
Of course Karan wouldn't just leave like that.
The stone door at the bottom of the Forbidden Lake has been damaged, and the female ghost will come out again sooner or later.By then, this location will surely be discovered by others as well.
It's just a matter of time.
Karan didn't have the power to repair the stone door, but he could at least try to cast some protective magic.
This doesn't even have to be to be wary of female ghosts, it just needs to hide the stone door in a short period of time.
It would be much better to just put a stone on the stone door than to do nothing.
Because female ghosts do not have physical form like ghosts.On the contrary, they are somewhat similar to dementors in that they cannot pass through solid obstacles.
As for the remaining problems, there will always be opportunities to solve them bit by bit in the future.
But after Karan turned around, he suddenly frowned.
The stone door originally placed here suddenly disappeared.
He only captured the last trace:
A corner of the stone gate is gradually turning into quicksand, and is finally completely integrated into the mud at the bottom of the lake.
After the stone door disappeared, the internal entrance also disappeared, and even the last trace of light around it faded.
Karan frowned slightly, staring at the sand in front of him.
At this moment, he felt an inexplicable fluctuation in the water flow.
At the same time, Snape suddenly patted him.
"Why aren't you leaving?" he asked, while also casting a fluorescent flash to illuminate the surrounding area.
But after seeing this, Karan's frown deepened.
He had clearly explained to Snape in advance the real reason why the two of them had to stay behind before leaving.
Karan turned to look at James and Sirius on the other side.
They were still looking at him and Snape curiously.
But at this moment, they swam away without looking back.
This is very abrupt.
It's like... they all forgot something at the same time.
After thinking briefly for a while, Karan suddenly mouthed to Snape: "Maybe we should find a chance to come back and have a look."
Snape's eyes turned to confusion.
"What else is there to see here?"
He mouthed: "Didn't we just find a piece of parchment?"
"Is there anything else here?"
Karan stared at Snape silently, his brows gradually widening.
He knew very well that this was the effect of the Forgetting Curse.
Snape, James, and Sirius were all affected by the Oblivion Curse.
unknowingly.
But they did not forget the whole thing, but still remembered a small part of it.
This is a very clever forgetting spell.
But Karan himself was unaffected.
Because he is a born closed-minded person.
Legilimens cannot easily peer into his memories and feelings, nor can they affect him.
This even includes some unexpected oblivion spells.
Because he always maintains an impeccable [illusion].
Only in rare cases has it been possible to successfully peer into his memory.
For example, that particular boggart they encountered in the second room of the Serpent Statue.
Perhaps it was because it was non-existent, or perhaps it was just because the Boggart could only explore the fear in its heart, so it didn't find much.
However, there seems to be one man who can do just that - Salazar Slytherin.
He was the creator of the Boggart, and he was originally an extremely skilled Legilimency master.
But now, Karan is not affected.
[Could it be that Gryffindor did it? 】
[Godric Gryffindor? 】
Finally, in the flickering darkness, Callan shook his head at Snape.
"Nothing."
As he swam toward the lake, he mouthed to Snape, who looked confused.
"nothing left."
