204 Looking Glass and Lies
When Steve stepped out of the suitcase, he discovered that Karan and Gaspard had quickly reconciled.
The two of them were sitting on the sofa, discussing something seriously.
But a red mark appeared inexplicably on Gaspard's forehead.After staring for a while, Steve couldn't help laughing.
"hey-hey."
A minute later, Steve joined them with a serious face and a new red mark on his forehead.
"So, the results are already clear."
Just as Steve was silently thinking about what to eat for dinner, Karan suddenly revealed the final result of the discussion.
"While Meadows was experiencing the Curse Breaker, she discovered this phoenix chick and gave it to Steve to take care of. In addition, she should also have discovered some other unknown signs, and This warned Mr. Newt to leave Egypt early, and perhaps the strengthening of protective measures at Hogwarts also had something to do with her."
"Of course, there's only so much we know right now."
Karan said and frowned.
"As for why Meadows insisted on giving this special Phoenix chick to Steve, and what signs she found, we don't know."
"Maybe it has something to do with the ancient tombs in Egypt." Gespard guessed expressionlessly, acting as if the red mark on his forehead didn't exist.
Steve almost couldn't help but laugh again.
After he hurriedly avoided the strange gaze cast by Gespard, Gespard continued: "After all, Meadows went to Egypt to solve the curse. No matter what she found, even that special bird The phoenixes may have a special connection with a certain ancient tomb."
When he heard this, Callan suddenly remembered the photo that Meadows had sent to Professor Sprout.
Behind Meadows in the photo, there is a background image of a pyramid.
Could it be that pyramid?
Karan's frown deepened, and Gaspard also thought silently.
The dormitory suddenly became quiet.
Steve supported his head on his arms and looked around at the two of them.After feeling a little bored, he simply took out the magic coin given to him by Kalan from his pocket. First, he waved the wand in a decent manner and whispered the transformation spell in his mouth. Keep practicing.
But soon, the practice process turned into a pure guessing game.But Steve is very bad at even this simple game.
After guessing incorrectly seven times in a row, Steve finally realized something was wrong. He immediately stared directly at Karan, only to find that the two of them were looking at him in the same way, with a smirk on their faces.
"You...right!"
The angry accusation suddenly turned into a strange cry, and Steve said quickly as if he had thought of something: "Didn't you also give Dorcas a magic coin? Since the owl can't find her, let's just try How about this method?”
Gaspard looked at Karan silently, he didn't know there was such a thing.
Under the gazes of the two, Karan spread his hands helplessly.
"I've tried it before."
He said calmly: "But maybe it was because the distance was too far that the magic coin failed. Or maybe it was because she simply didn't notice the change in the coin."
"Anyway, Meadows hasn't replied to me yet. And for a wizard as powerful as her, a mere transformation spell will definitely not be a problem for her."
"Really?" Steve couldn't help asking suspiciously: "Have you tried to contact her?"
He didn't think the two had really reconciled, and Karan didn't seem to have any reason to contact Meadows.
At this time, before Karan could continue to say anything, Gaspard suddenly added: "Maybe it's because of the ancient tomb. There are powerful curses there that have existed for thousands of years. Maybe these curses made the magic coins invalid. ”
Steve blinked, and his tone changed from doubt to worry: "Then Dorcas is not in any danger, right? Do we need to notify the professors? Or my father, he should be able to find him Someone who can help the people in Dorcas.”
"Need not."
This time, Karan simply rejected Steve's proposal.
"Why?" Steve asked.
Although he knew that Karan had never liked Meadows, he was not stupid enough to think that Karan would stumble over such a thing.
"Because, that's Meadows."
Karan said meaningfully: "Believe me, she must have thought more carefully than all of us combined."
"Especially when it comes to her own life."
Steve was finally convinced. After all, these ideas were just their speculations at the moment, and the professors definitely didn't want a few sophomores to think about such things all day long.
He returned to the suitcase and continued to look after the phoenix chick.
Karan and Gaspard were the only two people left in the dormitory.
After Steve left, Karan slowly stretched out his palm, unclenched his fist, and a small speculum appeared in his hand, spinning rapidly.
It floated out of Steve's pocket when he was tossing a magic coin.
Gaspard watched helplessly as Karan cast a freezing spell on the looking glass, and the looking glass suddenly became quiet.
"That should hold up for a while."
Karan said calmly, and he tossed the looking glass back and forth twice.
"Just wait until I find an opportunity and put him back there."
Gaspard, who had always been silent, finally spoke: "Is it because he shouldn't know too many things?"
After a brief silence, Karan nodded.
"It won't do him any good," he said softly.
"It seems you told a lot of lies just now." Gaspard said and took back the notebook on the coffee table.
"And I should add a few more things. My parents will definitely be interested in these things."
Karan rolled his eyes helplessly at Gespard's back, but he didn't say anything more.
This is a tacit understanding reached between the two.
In other words, the title of accomplice would be more appropriate.
Then Gespard set up the magic tent he brought, and walked directly in with his notebook in a flash.
Eventually, Karan was the only one left in the dormitory.
The looking glass floated up from his hand and flew into the side pocket of the witch robe.
At the same time, a magic coin flew out and rested in front of Karan, spinning slowly.
Karan has not had contact with Meadows since giving her a magic coin.
The long distance is not a reason, it is just an excuse.
After watching silently for a while, Karan grabbed the coin and put it back again.
Just like when talking about the owl in Diagon Alley, Karan whispered again.
"Not yet."
