227 1 question with Slughorn (Additional update for Helmsman Moon Night Monologue-Bai!)

When something that was originally just a hobby was inexplicably added with a heavy sense of responsibility, even the top student in grade could not withstand such pressure.

Lily even forgot that the proposal to prepare the shrinking potion was made by her and Snape. Callan never gave any guidance, and he never took the initiative to say that he would use this potion.

Or maybe it was just Lily's acquiescence that Karan would use the potion because he never contradicted it at all.

So Lily took it as Karan's default idea.

In short, no matter what the process was, after hearing Karan's answer, Lily regretted it a little, and Snape immediately frowned and looked at Karan.

They all knew that Karan never wanted to attract attention.

In a way, Karan has always done the same.

"do not worry."

After seeing the shocked looks of the two of them, Karan couldn't help laughing and said: "It's just a matter of asking a few questions, and you don't have to ask me to come forward."

"And don't forget."

Karan stretched out his hand and pointed around.

"What we are doing now is against school rules, so of course we can't tell everything."

In front of this gentle smile, Snape's frown deepened.

He had experienced such a scene more than once, and he felt a little uneasy for no reason.

This smile is not as beautiful as it looks, but more like a danger signal.

He and Lily looked at each other silently.

Snape saw the same thought in Lily's eyes.

"You know me."

At this time, Karan suddenly said inexplicably.

"It's just a matter of asking some questions. Professor Slughorn will be happy to answer them in front of you."

"What he likes most are talented students like you."

Things seemed to be settled like that.

The Laughter Potion, Living Hell Potion, and Polyjuice Potion among the advanced potions did not stump the three of them, but the simpler Restoration Potion forced them to seek help from the professor.

"Maybe it's because it's not difficult enough?"

Karan joked to Lily during Potions class.

Lily glared at Karan dissatisfied. She looked a little nervous now, which made Mary confused about what to do throughout the class.

She really didn't know what to do because her grades in Potions class were never as good as Lily's, but Lily made a rare mistake in this class that she couldn't fix.

Fortunately, Lily came back to her senses in time in the end, which prevented her from making a mess of the potion in the crucible.

Professor Slughorn came over. He smiled broadly as usual and looked into the crucible.

"Five points for Gryffindor!"

He patted Lily's shoulders twice comfortingly, his raised beard twitching slightly.

"Stop being so nervous, kid, you deserve ten points!"

There was unabashed affection in his tone.

Lily quietly wiped the sweat from her forehead and finally waited until get out of class was over.

"Just asking a question, just asking a question..."

She kept mumbling under her breath, deliberately waiting for the other students to leave the classroom.

It seems that although she is very talented at losing her temper, she is still not good at lying.

After almost all the students were gone, Lily finally walked to the desk anxiously.

"Is something wrong?"

Professor Slughorn had long noticed Lily's uneasiness, and he was always willing to show concern for such gifted students.

"Yes, Professor."

Lily still looked a little uneasy, and she whispered: "Actually, it's about the potion. Regarding the restoration potion, I have many questions that I don't understand..."

"Restore potion?"

Professor Slughorn looked surprised: "This is not a second-year course."

"That's right..." Lily's voice was even lower.

She also knew that this kind of question seemed a bit too advanced.

"Oh, honey, did I scare you?"

What was unexpected was that Professor Slughorn actually started to comfort Lily.

"Don't blame me for making a fuss." He said, "I know you have talent, but the restoring potion?"

He smacked his mouth twice, as if he was tasting something.

"All right."

After the tasting, Professor Slughorn smiled and said, "Dear, if you have any questions, just ask, we have plenty of time."

Lily was stunned. She didn't expect that this matter was really so simple, exactly like what Karan said.

Then she took the time to ask about the reduction potion. As Professor Slughorn answered, his eyes became brighter.

Finally, all problems are over.

Lily put away her notes with satisfaction, and Professor Slughorn said with emotion: "I have to say, you really asked too detailed questions."

"I almost thought you had already started preparing this potion?"

He said jokingly, and Lily lowered her head nervously.

Fortunately, Professor Slughorn did not see this scene. He turned his head and looked to the other side. After blinking, he suddenly asked: "What about you, Mr. Sangster?"

"Do you have any questions too?"

Lily paused in putting away her notebook. She turned around and found that Karan hadn't left the classroom either, and she didn't even know how long he had been behind her.

"Oh, aren't you together?"

Professor Slughorn asked in surprise after seeing Lily's reaction.

However, he still had some hope and asked Karan again: "Then it seems that you also have questions to ask."

"Is it related to potions?"

Professor Slughorn has always attached great importance to these talented students.After he learned from Meadows that Karan had actually successfully cast the Iron Armor Curse, he became very interested in Karan.

It's a pity that Karan has never performed well since then.Even though he got an excellent grade in last year's Defense Against the Dark Arts exam, the stories he heard from others were always more shocking than what he saw with his own eyes.

This inevitably makes Professor Slughorn feel a little regretful towards Callan, and at the same time, he also has some hope that Callan can once again show his unique talent.

Even if it's just a talent for magic, if it's about potions, that would be great.

While Professor Slughorn stared at Callan, Callan was also observing him silently.

In front of Lily, he nodded politely and decently and said, "Yes, Professor."

"I'd really like to ask about Professor Meadows."
