205 Freaks and Mistakes

205 Freaks and Mistakes

After the doubts about Meadows came to an end for the time being, the three returned to their original peaceful lives.

But Karan's curiosity about Meadows doesn't stop there, especially when she leads to so many things.

"Meadows? You mean the young professor from last year?"

One of the senior Hufflepuff students shook his head.

"Although we studied at Hogwarts together, I have no impression of her. I haven't even spoken a word to her."

"I advise you not to waste any more inquiries."

The senior student kindly advised: "Meadows has always been a loner, and he has always maintained a lukewarm attitude even towards the people in his own college."

"Everyone also nicknamed her the Hufflepuff freak."

"Freak?" Karan asked doubtfully, "Why do you say that?"

"There are many reasons." The senior student counted them one by one on his fingers: "Her grades are extremely good, especially in certain courses. But her personality is very withdrawn and she has never been gregarious."

"Overall, she doesn't look like a traditional Hufflepuff, but rather a bit unique."

"Everyone was shocked when they saw her at the opening party last year."

"No one expected that she would change so much."

It seems that there is no news to be found from the students.

Meadows during the Hogwarts period was like a mystery. She hid herself deeply, and her personality was completely different from that of today.

Especially when it comes to hiding herself, she is somewhat similar to Karan.

But unlike Karan who deliberately kept a low profile, she instead chose to make herself look better.

The two had different personalities when they were in school. Meadows became a withdrawn little girl, but Karan did not reach this point.

In fact, he was quite popular at school, and few people would dislike a well-mannered little boy.

In desperation, Karan had to go to the prize showroom again.

But as he expected, Callan didn't find any names related to Meadows among the medals.

"Not even one?"

In the Herbology class, on the way to the third greenhouse, Snape asked in a surprised voice.

He and Karan were completely separated from the crowd and stood at the back of the group.The other students did not notice the difference between the two of them, because this was their first time going to the third greenhouse, where the plants were more interesting and more dangerous, which made them all discuss in low voices with interest.

But Snape was completely attracted by Callan's account.

"I thought Meadows would be at least a prefect or something."

He said in confusion: "After all, her grades are pretty good, and she is such a powerful wizard."

As Snape said this, he subconsciously rubbed his arm, obviously thinking of the inexplicable lesson he received in the first class last year, which caused him to fall badly.

"But since when did you start caring about Meadows?" Snape finally asked in confusion.

But Karan failed to answer the question.After entering the greenhouse, Professor Sprout interrupted all the whispers and said: "We are going to repot the mandrakes today. Now, who can tell me what are the characteristics of mandrakes?"

After a brief silence, the atmosphere in the greenhouse became a little awkward, but fortunately, he finally raised a hesitant hand.

"Very well, Mr. Snape, it's up to you to answer." Professor Sprout looked a little regretful.

"Mandrake, also known as mandrake root, is a powerful restorative used to restore transformed or bewitched people to their original state."

As if due to suddenly receiving too much attention, Snape's tone seemed a little unnatural.

"But mandrake is also very dangerous and its cry can kill people."

When saying this, Snape couldn't help but glance at Callan who had returned to the Hufflepuff student team. This fatal effect was very similar to another thing they encountered in the Forbidden Forest last semester. ——Female ghost.

Until now, he still didn't know where the female ghost had gone.

For the rest of the class, Professor Sprout asked each of them to wear earmuffs to avoid being affected by the screams of the mandrakes.

Then she personally demonstrated, suddenly pulling a young mandrake out of the flower pot, and then stuffed it into another larger flower pot.

"Our mandrakes are only seedlings, and hearing their cries will not be fatal." Professor Sprout said after the frightened students took off their earmuffs: "However, they will make you unconscious for a few seconds." For an hour, I don’t think any of you want to be admitted to the campus hospital, so everyone must wear earmuffs when working. When it’s time to pack things, I will try to get your attention.”

Although Professor Sprout made it very easy, it was not until the students tried it that they discovered that it was not that easy.Mandrake doesn't want to be pulled out of the soil, but it doesn't seem to want to go back.They twisted their bodies, kicked their feet, waved their pointed little fists, and gnashed their teeth.

Although no sound was heard, everyone clearly saw Avery from Slytherin House slamming the mandrake out of his hand, and his face was twisted in pain. , covering a red finger with force.

This looks like a serious bite.

Snape looked at Kahlan suspiciously, but Kahlan just made an innocent expression helplessly.

It's not fair to blame everyone's stupidity on him.

By the time class was over, almost all the students were sweating profusely, their backs ached, and their bodies were covered with mud.

Karan inevitably became a little embarrassed. These little guys were often startled. He could not predict all the behaviors of Mandrake. Perhaps even the most powerful prophet could not do this.

But when the students were rushing back to the castle to take a shower, Karan deliberately slowed down and stayed behind.

"Oh? Mr. Sangster? Is there anything else you want?"

Professor Sprout asked in surprise. After she packed all the big flower pots one by one, she found that only one student, Callan, was left in the greenhouse.

"Yes, Professor."

Karan showed some hesitation, but he finally whispered: "It's about the last conversation."

"We didn't have a very long conversation about Professor Meadows."

Professor Sprout was increasingly surprised, but she did not refuse Callan's request.On the contrary, she seemed happy to see this scene.

It is always better to ask out of curiosity than to ignore something.

Callan's behavior seemed to her to be a good sign, and it would help to resolve his grudge against Meadows.

She kindly moved over two stools and sat face to face with Karan.

"Then what do you want to start understanding?" she asked kindly.

"or......"

After struggling for a while, Karan used a clever tone and suggested tactfully: "How about we start with Professor Meadows' trip."

"I haven't been to Egypt yet."

After a while, Karan nodded gratefully to Professor Sprout, and he turned and left the third greenhouse.

The moment he walked out of the greenhouse, Karan's face suddenly calmed down, and his brows couldn't help but frown slightly.

The last photo he saw in the dean's office was the last letter from Meadows.

After this, Meadows had no further contact with Professor Sprout.

And he was also keenly aware that Professor Sprout seemed to be hiding something. This time she acted even more deliberately than in the last conversation.

Obviously, the content of the last conversation had nothing to do with the late time.

Karan looked at the tall castle in the distance. Today was a rare good day. Under the blue sky, this beautiful scene was like an oil painting.

The breeze gently blew through the grass and slightly lifted the short hair on his forehead.But then, this insignificant change suddenly stopped for no reason.

"【mistake】......"

Karan murmured under his breath as he continued towards the castle.

And only he could hear this voice.
