212 Bogu, gold watch, Fabian

"Is there anything Ramo can do to help you, sir?"

Ramo asked, raising his big head, his tennis ball-sized eyes full of desire.

"Of course, you can help me prepare some late-night snacks and other food."

Karan maintained a warm smile on his face and spoke in an unchanging gentle tone.

There was no need for him to be stingy with this trivial emotion in front of the house elves.

After all, their demands are really not that much.

Even just a hint of emotion related to [love] is enough to make them overjoyed, making them more reliable and loyal.

Ramo was so excited after Karan's polite request!

"Of course!"

He choked and screamed loudly, staring at Karan with respect with his big tearful eyes.

"Of course, sir!"

"Ramo, go get ready now!"

He immediately started to get busy. After loading a plate of exquisite snacks piled high, he seemed to think that this was not enough, so he changed it to a bigger plate.

Other house elves also volunteered to help, which was the happiest thing in the world for them.

Those who didn't squeeze in front of the table could only slouch, their pointed ears hanging down on both sides of their heads, staring pitifully at Karan.

"what!"

Karan seemed to have just thought of something. He yelled in an exaggerated manner and asked politely again: "I forgot that I also need some steak."

"Well, mature ones are fine."

This is specially prepared for Wolf.

All of a sudden, the fire in the oven was burning brightly, and the house elves rushed to assign work and prepare ingredients, with expressions of gratitude on their faces.

Karan slowly found a seat near the table and sat down.

"Thank you."

He smiled at the elf who immediately handed over a small plate of snacks and milk: "The taste is very good, especially the aroma."

"I prefer strawberry pudding, though."

The tactful words and gentle tone not only did not make these house elves feel depressed, but also made them work harder to prepare.

After a while, a large strawberry pudding was brought to Karan. It was even more delicious than what was made in the ice cream shop.

The elves looked happy after receiving Karan's compliment.They bowed low and stepped back.

Karan watched them with a smile, eating slowly and gracefully.

The environment in the kitchen was better than he imagined. These house elves lived happily enough under the protection of Principal Dumbledore.

Of course, the biggest credit goes to the great Ms. Hufflepuff, who is the founder of all this.

The smile on Karan's face became even brighter when he thought of this.

Because, he is also a Hufflepuff.

Time alone is shorter than imagined.

But this is not because the elves have prepared snacks and steaks in advance - the snacks on the silver tray are piled higher and higher, even covering the figures of the elves - Ramo seems to be determined to make a good meal Entertain Karan's hard-won guest.

Moreover, this guest did not hesitate to praise him, which made him even more rare.

What really broke the silence was the opening of the kitchen door again and the faint sound of conversation.

"Wandless magic is more difficult than I thought. I thought Transfiguration would be the most complicated subject, but wandless magic is not even included in the teaching content at Hogwarts, and we only have it in sixth year. Only then will you start learning silent magic that is not that difficult.”

It seemed that James had already tried to understand real wandless magic, but he didn't expect that the excessive spellcasting requirements made him gradually become a talkative person.

Of course, this only happens when he's alone with another person.

"Are you planning to give up?" Sirius asked, with a hint of provocation in his tone.

"of course not!"

James said loudly immediately, acting like a high-spirited little lion.

In fact, the hair that always sticks out on the back of his head makes him look even more like a lion.

"I haven't used all my strength yet! You should know that the selection of the Quidditch team is about to begin. This is as important as Sangster, or even more important than him!"

"That's good." Sirius said lazily.

"At least let the guys from other colleges take a good look at how Nimbus 1001 is used."

After the conversation, the two took off the invisibility cloak on their heads together.

The blurry scene gradually became clear, and the inexplicably busy house elves immediately caught their attention.

Similarly, it didn't take long for them to suddenly realize that there was another figure in the kitchen.

Karan ate the pudding with a calm expression.

But this time, he did not deliberately ignore the two of them, but looked at them unabashedly, his eyes still lingering on the invisibility cloak in James' hand for a few seconds.

The atmosphere suddenly became silent, almost stagnant.

After a brief daze, neither James nor Sirius flinched, but they also had no intention of letting Karan use his strength - there were a lot of things in the kitchen, and sharp knives were much more dangerous than stones.

The two immediately stuck together and walked slowly forward, looking for a more open space.

It seems that even though they have not learned wandless magic, they have not given up on the idea of ​​solving the threat of Karan.

And they didn't seem to think that Karan would just let them go.

Because Kara had put down the spoon in her hand, her eyes gradually became intense.

Deathly Hallows.

That is the invisibility cloak in James' hand.

Karan could not ignore this magical magical item.

After dealing with the threat of Acromantula, he finally had more time to deal with other things.

Although the result of the disappearing cabinet was not satisfactory, the invisibility cloak that appeared in front of him again inevitably made him think a lot.

This kind of opportunity is not common.

Unlike the three of them, the house elves were half a beat slower in reacting, and they quickly recognized James and Sirius, the two "frequent guests."

"Still the same, gentlemen?"

A house elf screamed as a tray suddenly appeared in his hand.

Sirius ignored the house elf, not even looking at it.

"Now is not the time, Bogu."

On the contrary, James immediately recognized the house elf, and he even remembered the other person's name.

The two faced each other silently, with a lot of vigilance in each other's eyes.

It's just that one party puts all the focus on the other.

On the other hand, vigilance spread to the entire kitchen, and even to all the house elves who slowed down their movements.

They looked a little stunned, their eyes blinking uneasily, and they looked back and forth at both sides at a loss.

"I thought pure-blood wizards wouldn't care about house elves."

Karan suddenly whispered something inexplicably, and his eyes moved between James and Sirius.

"I didn't expect you to remember his name."

He finally set his sights on James.

Although they didn't understand why Karan suddenly said such words, the two still gave different reactions.

Sirius snorted disdainfully.

Due to Kreacher, he seldom pays attention to house elves, and he only comes here to simply order them to prepare midnight snacks.

But James once again showed that he was different.

"Not every wizarding family has a house-elf."

Compared to Karan's whispered words, his tone and voice were much brighter.

"But at least a lot of families want one."

"Especially in families where the parents are no longer young."

He spoke his mind frankly.

In other words, he never intended to hide it.

Karan raised his eyebrows inadvertently.

But the unexpected answer did not ease the atmosphere in the kitchen, but made it even more tense.

However, at this moment, the kitchen door was pushed open again without warning.

The short red hair caught everyone's attention, and Professor Prewett suddenly stopped.

"I said, don't you want to fight?"

He asked in an exaggerated voice, then shook a finger from side to side.

"Even if you just come to the kitchen secretly, it is against school regulations, and unfortunately you were caught by me, the professor..."

He deliberately pretended to have a dramatic effect and did not give the three of them a chance to speak.

But this was ruthlessly interrupted by the house elf who came to inquire.

"Ah, two dinners, still the same."

He gave the order casually, looking familiar.

At this moment, the eyes of the three people immediately became a little strange.

Prewett was stunned for a moment. After realizing that his words were too skillful, he laughed awkwardly and took the opportunity to pretend to stare at the gold watch on his wrist.

"Looks like it's time for get out of class to end now."

He deliberately shook the dial in the direction of the three of them, and continued regardless of whether they could see it clearly: "When Gideon and I were studying at Hogwarts, we always felt that the professors were too strict. You shouldn’t be thinking about deducting marks from students all the time.”

The house elves prepared quickly, and by the way, they also prepared the "old routine" between James and Sirius.

"Okay, go back to the dormitory quickly"

He urged the confused two people and said: "Besides, remember not to tell anything about what happened today. A professor who made many mistakes in school cannot establish much authority in front of students."

James and Sirius staggered away without even having time to put on the invisibility cloak.

"You too, Mr. Sangster. Remember to go back early."

He waved his hand in the end, apparently not intending to pursue the violations of these students.

"Okay, sir."

Karan replied politely, and he complimented her by the way: "Beautiful gold watch."

"Of course!"

Fabian suddenly became particularly enthusiastic. He showed off loudly: "This watch cost me a lot of money. Except for the accident at Kettleburn's house, I have always worn it with me for fear of accidentally It’s broken.”

"Even though it doesn't seem to be doing much, well, maybe I should ask Kettleburn for some compensation."

He made jokes and winked at Callan, vividly portraying Kettleburn's angry look at that time, which made Callan laugh.

After Fabian left, Karan effortlessly held the very heavy tray and left the kitchen surrounded by the house elves.

He stood in the corridor and looked around. Now there was no one on both sides.

It's like Fabian's flashing wrist at the first Fire Crab Club meeting.

Just nothing.

He did not wear this gold watch with him at that time.

Karan narrowed his eyes calmly.

"It seems that at least this has nothing to do with Xiu Xiu."
