183 Questioning and Floo Bang
After avoiding the lucky jackpot, the Evanses actually talked to Mrs. Prince about the Gobstone Game.
As early as the last time they visited Hogsmeade, the Evanses bought a set of Gobstones from Mrs. Prince, and are now asking if there are any new styles.
Unlike most adult wizards, they actually found this game interesting.
On the other side, Karan and three people were sitting around a table.
He comfortably held Barian, whom he hadn't seen for a long time, and fed her ice cream spoonful by spoonful. He occasionally took a bite, and watched with interest as Barian's whole body trembled.
Snape finally bought his first pet - a crested toad.
It has a unique upturned nose and golden eyes, and its name is Jinqi.
From the looks of it, Snape was specifically thinking about preparing the potion.
Although toads are somewhat outdated, they are still a good object for practicing spells and testing potions.
Karan still didn't buy any pets, but he still went to the Eela Owl Shop to take a look at an owl that was no longer so petite.
This owl was the same one that pecked his finger last year.
Today it is still in the store and has not been sold.It is too young to carry those heavy packages.
When it saw Karan, it clearly recognized the child who almost became its master.It immediately fluttered happily in the cage, as if hoping that Karan would change his mind.
But in the end, it just watched helplessly as Karan took out a can of owl nuts and carefully fed them to every owl, except himself.
Karan pointed to the pecked spot on his finger and hummed twice.
The little owl suddenly fluttered more happily, but this time, judging from the anger in its eyes, it was obvious that it was going to leave a deep peck mark for Karan again.
Karan certainly wouldn't give it a chance.
But when he finally left, he quietly gave the shopkeeper a sum of galleons, which included the cost of purchasing the little owl and a lot of money for feeding high-grade nuts.
Although a little baffled, the shop owner readily promised Karan to keep the owl until he took the initiative to pick it up.
This is not an excessive request, it just seems a little weird.
Snape had a expression on his face, feeding Kinch in the cage.
However, this toad seemed even colder than his owner. He just ate his food quietly without making any noise.
Of course, this may also be because the corners of Snape's mouth are slightly raised. He has maintained this expression unconsciously for a long time. He has been like this since Mrs. Prince agreed to stay, which makes him look like It looked a little weird, as if an invisible thread was pulling at the corners of his mouth.
Neither Karan nor Lily reminded him of this.
Karan thought it was interesting, while Lily kept staring at Karan coldly. Even the delicious ice cream could not divert her attention.
Karan glanced at Lily. He observed the three people behind him who were having a heated discussion about whether the screaming Gobstone was interesting enough, and then asked Lily in a low voice: "Lucky jackpot? It's a shame you can make it up."
Lily said coldly: "Otherwise? I can't tell the truth. I can't get around the vault when I go to Gringotts to withdraw money. I didn't expect the goblin's memory to be so good, so he just asked me Recognized."
Her tone was filled with a strong smell of gunpowder, as if she had been shot.
Snape raised his head blankly. He didn't understand why Lily suddenly became like this.
"Think about what happened in first grade, Sev."
Lily puffed up her face angrily, and Snape listened with confusion.
"What Karan is best at is planning, the potion preparation room at the beginning, and the Acromantula later."
"And after I got home, I suddenly remembered that Karan had asked Scamander about the Acromantula on the train."
"I originally didn't plan to mention this, but Karan made such an obvious mistake again."
"He is Karan."
Lily said angrily, her face turning red with excitement.
"Even if it's just his first time using floo powder, he will still use wandless magic wherever he might be choked by soot and heat."
Snape's eyes gradually changed, and his brain, which had become inexplicably happy before, gradually calmed down again.
He suddenly turned his head to look at Karan, with a hint of anger on his yellow cheeks.
Mrs. Prince came to Diagon Alley specifically for Karan. It was like she was tricked by him. Now they are all...
All......
The anger suddenly dissipated little by little, and Snape silently looked at his mother's back. Even if he couldn't see the expression on her face, Snape could imagine how happy she was at this time.
Just like himself.
Snape inexplicably thought of Karan's words.
And judging from the current results, it seems to be pretty good.
"Is this also in your plan?"
Snape asked directly in a low voice: "Including things about me and my mother?"
Karan finally stopped petting the cat.
He faced the questioning gazes of the two men with a smile and said slowly.
"It's more than that."
Then he simply told everything about going to Knockturn Alley on purpose and even meeting Professor Kettleburn and Prewett.
It's just that in his words, the existence of the disappearing cabinet was secretly erased by him, and its purpose was changed to a simple black magic item.
But this change didn't make the two of them feel any better. They stared wide-eyed. They didn't expect Karan to be so bold and dare to go directly to Knockturn Alley!
Last year, Karan didn't show much at the beginning, but the two of them faced a swarm of Acromantulas.Who knows what trouble he will make this year.
They couldn't foresee the future, but at least they had seen a worse beginning.
And the two of them seemed frightened by it.
Lily opened her mouth, but what she said was: "This is not the place to talk."
The Evans parents and Mrs. Prince were nearby, which made their whispering inconvenient, and both Lily and Snape obviously had a lot to say to Callan.
So the three of them found an excuse to leave the ice cream shop, but when they walked a little further, Lily and Snape didn't know where to start.
"It's better to go first."
Karan suggested.
This is the manufacturer of Floo Powder, headquartered in Diagon Alley.
"I just happen to be going to buy some Floo powder."
"After all, I also have a fireplace in Hogsmeade."
