189 Egypt and Impressions (monthly ticket for additional updates!)
After seeing that Karan did not sit over, Gaspard's face immediately showed a disappointed expression.Karan now sat more at ease.
Amidst the noisy words around him, just as Karan looked towards the teacher's desk, a figure suddenly squeezed into the seat next to him.
"Hello, Karan."
Steve said hello, pointing in the direction of Guspard and said: "It's really lively, isn't it?"
"The scene started on the train and I didn't even get to sit in the same compartment as him."
"By the way, why weren't you on the train?"
Faced with a series of words from Steve, whom he had not seen for a long time, Karan unusually said nothing.
However, at least among the two, he is not the most abnormal one.
Steve had become a lot thinner inexplicably. All the fat he had accumulated from eating snacks last year suddenly disappeared, and even his skin tone became much darker.It's conceivable that he didn't have an easy time during this holiday.
But that's not the strangest thing.
His back was straight, and his slightly angular face maintained an unchanged expression, which made him even look a little solemn.
After a short vacation, Steve actually became serious.
After seeing Karan's mouth closed and not speaking, Steve inadvertently twitched the corners of his mouth twice, and then he continued: "I don't know how you spent your vacation?"
Karan looked at him several times, until Steve couldn't help but speak again, and he finally uttered two words.
"fine."
After that, he said nothing.
The atmosphere became a little awkward for a while.
"Oh, and there's also the magic thread thing."
Steve looked a little angry, but he still held on and said, "After the Magic Thread is officially sold, both of us will get a lot of profit."
This time, Karan didn't even bother to respond to him.
"Are you Steve Scamander?"
He asked simply and bluntly.
"Did you recognize the wrong person, or did I recognize the wrong person?"
Steve looked angrier.
"You're not hiding anything from me about the magic thread, are you?"
He didn't answer Karan's question, but said this inexplicably.
Karan blinked.
"of course not!"
He said confidently, without any hint of guilt or falsehood.
"Well......"
Steve nodded inexplicably, and Karan noticed that he was constantly glancing at the robe beside him.
After a few seconds, Steve suddenly took out something. He seemed to want to slam it on the table, but he temporarily stopped his hand, and then stretched it out in front of Karan.
A small object was spinning around in his hand, making a slight whistle from time to time.
This is an intact looking glass.
"I knew you were lying to me!"
Steve finally returned to Karan's familiar appearance, but he didn't look very good at this time. He said angrily: "Fortunately, I was more cautious and took out the speculum right away!"
"And did you let me break the speculum last year on purpose?"
Facing Steve's question, Karan blinked again, and then he immediately became stunned.
"When did you become so smart?"
he asked in disbelief.
"what do you mean?!"
Steve shouted angrily, but under Karan's suspicious eyes, he finally muttered in a low voice: "My father deliberately asked me to do this. He took me to Egypt during the holiday and wanted to I have taught me to become a more qualified expert in the protection of magical animals. This includes being wary of the people around you, otherwise you are likely to be taken advantage of by others. My father once suffered this disadvantage."
"This is what happened after the incident with the suitcase was revealed while on vacation."
"You two told me this."
Karan nodded suddenly.
"So that's what it is, let me just say..."
He looked Steve up and down again, the meaning in his eyes clearly saying: I knew you weren't that smart.
Steve quickly came to his senses, and he immediately said angrily again: "Don't interrupt!"
"Come on! What else have you lied to me about?!"
Karan avoided Steve's spit with a look of disgust on his face, and asked casually: "Then which one do you want to hear?"
Steve froze.
"There's more than one?!"
Karan nodded immediately, turned his head and looked in the direction of Gespard, and then said mysteriously to Steve: "Of course."
"For example, do you remember who put your second speculum away?"
Steve blinked twice, and then he said in shock: "You mean Gaspard?"
"He lied to me too?!"
Karan nodded vigorously.
"Yes, it's him!"
He said seriously.
At the critical moment, Karan quickly pushed the last person in the dormitory out, diverting Steve's anger in time.
And it seemed that Steve was still a long way from becoming a qualified expert on magical animals. He didn't react until Professor McGonagall led a row of first-year students in, but continued to whisper. Looking at Gaspard, saying something like "make him look good".
At this time, Karan finally noticed that there was something wrong with the number of empty seats on the teacher's table.
Although he guessed that one of the Prewett brothers would become the new Defense Against the Dark Arts professor, there were only two extra chairs.
We can't take turns letting them be the professors of this course, right?
Although the students most likely wouldn't be able to tell the difference, the two chairs appear somewhat unnecessary.
Or is there a new professor coming to Hogwarts that he doesn't know about?
His eyes slowly moved over the other professors. Professor Flitwick, the short man who taught their Charms class, was sitting on a pile of soft cushions. Next to him was Professor Sprout, the Herbology teacher. Her hat was tilted on her head. On her flowing gray hair.
Professor Kettleburn and Professor Slughorn on the other side were whispering something, but judging from their faces, they seemed to be mocking each other.
Karan guessed that this was probably because of the Fire Crab Club.
Professor Kettleburn told him that fire crabs should at least be larger than slugs.
Karan's eyes gradually moved to Principal Dumbledore. His flowing silver-gray hair and beard shone in the candlelight, and his luxurious dark blue robes were embroidered with many stars and moons.
His slender fingertips touched together and he wore half-moon glasses.
After noticing Karan's gaze, he smiled and nodded to Karan.It seemed that the Acromantula incident did not give him any bad impression of Karan at all, and he was still full of kindness.
Karan took off the pointed hat on his head and returned the greeting politely.
At the same time, Professor McGonagall placed a triangular stool on the ground in front of the new students, and placed a tattered, dirty, and patched wizard's hat on the stool.
The sorting ceremony is about to begin.
