182 This is enough
Facts have proved that students will always feel guilty inexplicably in front of their former professors, even wizards are no exception.
The Prewett brothers were just a few years removed from graduation.Especially not long ago, the two of them had just brought bad news to Professor Kettleburn, and they were angrily kicked out of the house by the other party. Even the Gobstone they had just bought was destroyed.
Karan didn't know which Prewett this was, but he could tell at a glance that this Prewett must be feeling very uncomfortable.
Prewett walked over with a stiff face, and there was even cold sweat on his forehead.
Professor Kettleburn stared at him with an unfriendly look. Prewett seemed to want to explain something, but he soon noticed Callan beside him.
Now Karan is observing the two of them silently.
He raised his head with a curious look on his face, and his eyes moved left and right to look at them.
"How will you be here?!"
Prewett looked taken aback. He seemed to have focused all his attention on Professor Kettleburn before and completely ignored Callan.
"Knockturn Alley? This is not the place you should be."
At this time, Professor Kettleburn also stopped glaring at Prewett. He turned to look at Callan and pushed him outward hard.
"Okay, it's time for you to leave."
He said gruffly, not intending for Karan to continue hearing the conversation between the two.
"Next time, don't let me meet you in Knockturn Alley again."
Karan blinked.
In desperation, he had no choice but to walk alone into the sunshine not far away, watching the two people's backs walking farther and farther in the dark Knockturn Alley.
Could it be that it has something to do with the Order of the Phoenix?
Karan looked at the snow-white marble building in the distance and thought inexplicably.
The place he was looking at was the iconic building in Diagon Alley: Gringotts Bank.
Karan is finally back in Diagon Alley.
Wizards of all sizes walked past him, and Karan recognized the owners of the surrounding shops. This was all what he gained when he lived in the Leaky Cauldron last year, and it also allowed him to easily buy potion ingredients for multiple people. and equipment, thus secretly setting up a potion preparation room.
But Karan's thoughts are not on these people now.
The disappearing cabinet.
Myrtle is alive, but still in an abandoned bathroom.
and the experience of Hagrid remaining virtually unchanged.
His fingers inadvertently brushed the side pockets of the witch's robe.
And the blank Marauder's Map.
Karan lowered his head silently, his handsome face showing a frown for the first time.
This scene was not allowed to be seen by anyone.
When he raised his head again, a gentle smile appeared on his face again.
This smile is completely different from Mr. Anthony’s expression before.
Not far away, Lily and Snape ran over anxiously.
The Evanses and Mrs. Prince, who had not planned to come, followed closely behind them.
Cold sweat similar to Prewett's was already oozing out on the foreheads of several people.
It looks like they have been looking for Karan for a long time.
"Where have you been?"
As soon as Lily came up, she said bluntly: "Do you know how worried Sif is about you and Mrs. Prince!"
Snape's lips were pursed tightly, and his eyes could not tell whether he was angry or anxious. When they arrived in Diagon Alley, they did not see Callan. He and his mother were completely frightened.
Mrs. Prince stood behind Snape, her yellow and thin cheeks turned pale. She moved a few times, as if she wanted to check whether Callan was missing any arms or legs.But in the end he just kept scanning Karan with his eyes.
Her way of expressing emotions was even rougher than Snape's, and she usually just quietly put down snacks at home without disturbing them.
Karan took the initiative to hug her, as well as the Evans couple who were imitating the wizards in thanking Merlin.
He explained that he just missed a few furnace doors, but finally managed to reach Diagon Alley with the help of some kind people.
Mrs. Prince's face looked a little better now.
She had no intention of coming to Diagon Alley, but she forced herself to follow him because she was too worried about Karan.
"Since there's nothing wrong, I'll go back first."
Mrs. Prince once again seemed to feel like an eyesore, like a mother who would embarrass her son.
Compared with the Evans couple, she felt much worse when she was alone.
Snape was stunned, his expression became a little hesitant, and his lips tightened inexplicably.
Karan watched this scene silently, and when others were not paying attention, he suddenly stabbed Snape hard in the waist.
"Eh......"
Snape let out a cry of pain.
Now, everyone's attention was on him, and Mrs. Prince subconsciously turned back to look at him.
Snape stared at Karan with wide eyes, and Karan quietly gave him a wink. Snape suddenly felt a corner of his witch robe being pulled hard, and finally pointed in the direction of Mrs. Prince.
"Don't...don't go."
Snape came to his senses immediately. After he stumbled out of his mouth, he didn't seem to realize what he had said.
But after seeing the faint expectation in Mrs. Prince's eyes, he finally whispered.
"Don't go, Mom."
Mrs. Prince was silent and said nothing.
But everyone could see how excited she was at this time.
She finally stayed.
Snape took the first step bravely and created a beautiful starting point.
What was left was that the Evans couple performed even better. They were extremely interested in everything about wizards, and now they finally had a peer who could solve their curiosity for them.
It's hard to say whether this was because they noticed that the relationship between mother and son was quite awkward.
But when they generously bought ice cream for their three children, Mrs. Evans touched Karan's fluffy hair affectionately, and Mr. Evans specially added an extra large portion of strawberries for him. The plates were piled high.
It seems that when Karan quietly conveyed his wink, he did not hide it from everyone's sight.
Under the umbrella set up outside Florin Fusco's ice cream shop, after buying all the things, a few people divided into two tables.
The adults sat at one table and the children at another table.
The Evanses loudly rejoiced that Lily was lucky enough to win the lottery, which even saved them from having to pay Lily's tuition.
Mrs. Prince sounded a little strange, because his son also received a large sum of galleons inexplicably, and even Karan was richer than she imagined.
But she didn't point this out.
She was already a failed mother and didn't want to add any more annoying attributes to herself.
As early as her school days, she had already learned enough lessons.
Gobstone is not a popular game.
Fortunately, now, she has experienced another rebirth.
Although it is not as dazzling as the Phoenix, it is not as heroic.
But it was like what she had said to Mr. Zuko on the first day she moved to Hogsmeade.
"that's enough."
