206 Weekends and Joining

The first week of the new semester goes by so fast it seems like a blink of an eye.Students have also changed from initial expectations to worrying about heavy homework.

But they soon stopped worrying about these things, especially students in third grade and above.The enhanced protective measures at Hogwarts did not prevent them from going to Hogsmeade, which made many people breathe a sigh of relief.

Snape took an unprecedented leave of absence for the first time. He was worried that Mrs. Prince in the club shop would be too busy.Although this worry seems completely unnecessary to Karan, the products in the store are too monotonous, only Gobstone.

"People like you who can only cheat with wandless magic cannot appreciate the true joy of Gobstone."

Snape scoffed at Callan's idea and retorted sarcastically.And he still stubbornly believed that during the last Christmas vacation, Karan definitely relied on cheating to win so many games against him in a row.

The head of Slytherin, Professor Slughorn, readily agreed to Snape's request.He clearly saw Snape's talent in Potions and was willing to facilitate it.

Compared to Snape, Lily's weekend plans were much more monotonous.

"Do you want everything to go to the library?"

After watching Snape leave with envy, she asked Karan: "We can finish the homework assigned by the professors first, and then go to the potion preparation room together."

Karan blinked.

"What are you doing in the potion making room?"

Lily's suggestion made him feel something was wrong, because she had long stopped letting Karan decide what kind of potion to prepare.

"I don't think I did very well in my last Defense Against the Dark Arts class, the one where the professors were dressed as zombies."

Lily's eyes were a little erratic.

"I was thinking of asking you to help me. After all, your magic talent is much higher than mine."

Karan's doubts deepened. He always felt that Lily had evil intentions.

"You mean the curse?" he asked.

"I remember that your spell skills are not bad, you are number one in your grade."

Lily snorted, she still didn't like the title.

"I mean zombies."

She simply said shockingly: "You play the role of a zombie, and then I will try to deal with you."

"It's hard for me to hurt you anyway, isn't it?"

This time, Karan didn't even blink.

"Don't go!"

Karan simply refused, looking at Lily as if he were looking at a fool.

His magic talent is good, but not so good that he can use wandless magic to deal with wand magic.

However, in the face of Lily's repeated "guarantees" (I will never hurt you, how could I do this on purpose?), Karan had a reasonable excuse.

"I'm also going to the Fire Crab Club. This is the first party."

At this moment, Lily had nothing to say anymore.

Of course she didn't join the club, and she still couldn't let go of what happened with Aragog.And the way she looked at Karan now, in addition to the original weirdness, also added a lot of pity.

Who knows what magical creatures Professor Kettleburn and Hagrid will come up with.

Karan doesn’t know this either.Not only him, but Steve, who had gone to Hagrid's hut in advance to inquire about it, also didn't know what they had prepared for their first party.

"But it's always exciting, isn't it?"

Steve didn't seem worried about this, but was unusually excited.

"The Care of Magical Creatures class that can be taken in advance in second grade, coupled with unknown surprises, there is nothing better than this!"

His tone was exaggerated to the extreme.When he met Hagrid by chance, he didn't even hesitate for a second and directly agreed to join the Fire Crab Club.

This made Hagrid extremely happy. He also didn't hesitate for a second. He laughed and patted Steve hard several times, and immediately made him lie down on the grass.

Fortunately, Karan was also present at the time, which prevented Steve from becoming bruised and bruised.

But they weren't the only ones there, there was another extremely calm guy present.Moreover, he didn't appear as excited as Steve now. Instead, he responded with a few words that were not salty.

"It doesn't get any better than this? I can't see it."

Gaspard pushed the glasses hanging on the bridge of his nose neatly.

"When I learned that magic threads can make money, when I found Wolf the Moon Wolf in the Forbidden Forest, I can also guess the other thing - when Meadows handed the Phoenix chick to you."

"And every time you eat Karan snacks, I see you are very happy."

The plain words were like a swift spell, hitting Steve hard every time, leaving him unable to resist at all.

Steve opened his mouth, but he found awkwardly that he couldn't think of any words to refute.

In a duel involving brains and words, his "magic level" has never been very high.Especially when what Gespard said was true.

"I don't know why you insist on joining the Fire Crab Club."

He could only mutter in a low voice with dissatisfaction and shift his focus to this matter.

Hagrid did not invite Gaspard to join the club at that time. It was entirely because he suddenly said that he wanted to join after listening to the conversation between several people for a while.

Karan guessed that this was because Professor Kettleburn had deliberately given Hagrid instructions.Because of the magic thread incident, Professor Kettleburn didn't have a good impression of Gaspard, and was afraid that he would disturb his "little darlings".

But when faced with Gaspard's strangely glowing glasses in person, Hagrid was ultimately unable to say no. He even flinched, feeling that something was wrong with the way Gaspard looked at him. .

Now, with Steve's "retaliation" that didn't make anyone angry at all, Gaspard finally told the reason.

"I suspect that Hagrid has giant blood. He may be a rare hybrid giant. You know, ordinary people can't look like him unless he has been continuously exposed to expansion spells since he was a child."

He said in a calm tone, completely ignoring Karan, who had strange eyes, and Steve, who was obviously frightened.

"And I'm also curious to see what kind of magical animals they're going to show."

"By the way, this will also be beneficial to my [material collection] process, and maybe it will be helpful to alchemy..."

He was even more amazing with his words than Lily, and he didn’t know whether Hagrid himself was included in his [collection] process.
