233 Linfred, Porter, Lucky Cauldron

"You actually agreed?"

As soon as Karan arrived in the potion preparation room, he was pulled aside by Lily and looked at him carefully.

"Why did you suddenly change your gender?" Lily asked in disbelief.

Snape smiled sarcastically.

"What? You want to be in the limelight now?"

Karan stared at Snape silently and suddenly let out a disdainful sneer.

"do not forget."

In the eyes of the two people who suddenly became confused, Karan said: "I just agreed to rehearse, but I didn't promise to perform on Halloween."

"Isn't it better to just pretend to be sick then?"

Snape and Lily were both stunned.

After a while, Snape whispered: "Are you still doubting Professor Prewett? Are you doing this just to get close to them?"

Karan nodded and said, "That's right."

"And as early as the Fire Crab Club party, there was a Professor Prewett who wanted me to be the protagonist."

"It's something I can't avoid anyway, so I might as well just agree."

Lily was speechless at Karan's confession.

After a while, she said in a troubled tone: "If I had known better, I wouldn't have agreed."

Lily also agreed to participate, but she only agreed because she found it interesting, not to get into so much trouble.

It didn't take long for their first rehearsal to begin.

The location was an empty classroom in Hogwarts. In addition to Karan and Lily, some other second- and third-year students came here.

But the tallest ones are only third-year students.

In the last play performed at Hogwarts - "The Fountain of Good Luck", there were two actors: the student who played Amata and the student who played Sir Luckless have been a pair of lovers.

And just an hour before the curtain opened, "Unlucky Sir" fell in love with another actress: "Asha".

This is where the tragedy begins.

First, Professor Kettleburn's "earthworm" - which everyone then saw was a fiery ash snake that had been cast a fatness charm - suddenly exploded, sending up a cloud of hot sparks and dust, filling the auditorium with smoke. and set fragments.

Then "Amata" and "Asha" started fighting each other again, and the duel was inextricable.

In order to avoid such a ridiculous thing happening again, the Prewett brothers strictly controlled the age of the actors-that is, they were only in the third grade at most.

In addition, the Prewett brothers also adapted the story "The Wizard and the Hopping Pot".

In the original story, the protagonist has a kind old wizard father: he always uses his magic generously and wisely to help his Muggle neighbors.

Instead of telling others where his powers came from, he lied that his potions, spells, and antidotes all came ready-made from a small cauldron.He called this pot his lucky pot.People from many miles around came to him in trouble, and the old wizard was always happy to stir his cauldron and make things go away.

The beloved wizard lived to a great age and then died, leaving all his property to his only son, the hero of this story.

This son is completely different from his gentle father.In his son's opinion, those who don't know magic are useless, and he often complains about his father's habit of using magic to help his neighbors.

He refused to continue to help his neighbors, but this caused the Lucky Cauldron to have many problems, and these problems were the same as those encountered by his Muggle neighbors.

In just a few days, Lucky Cauldron not only brayed and groaned, jumped and shed tears, and sprouted sarcoma, but also coughed and retched, cried like a baby, howled like a dog, and vomited out spoiled food. Cheese and sour milk, and countless hungry slugs.

In the end, the protagonist of the story couldn't stand it anymore, and he yelled to help the neighbors.

When all the problems were successfully resolved, the Lucky Cauldron finally returned to normal.

That's the end of the story.

This is a Muggle-friendly story, and Professor Prewett has no intention of changing that.

But in the story, considering that the lucky pot covered with sarcoma is likely to cause discomfort to everyone and make the dinner a mess, they decided to change the problem encountered by their Muggle neighbors.

This requires many students to play dark creatures and dangerous magical animals, so that they cause constant trouble to their Muggle neighbors, and finally the protagonist, who wakes up, defeats them one by one with the help of the Lucky Cauldron.

A great show full of battles and special effects, just like they did at the back-to-school party.

In the process of selecting specific candidates, Professor Prewett needs to test their dueling abilities.

Inexplicably, Lily became the final protagonist.

Karan, on the other hand, ignored Lily's resentful gaze. After deliberately letting go, he played the role of a vampire, and he was the one who could use a wand.

"very good."

Finally, Gideon smiled with satisfaction and said, "Then let's start the first rehearsal."

The first to appear was Rhimes as the werewolf, a role he had apparently been nudged into agreeing to by his roommates.

But among the students watching, James kept frowning.

Due to the need for Quidditch training, he did not get this opportunity to be in the limelight.

"I should be allowed to play the protagonist."

He said boldly, and Sirius, who was dressed as a little devil, looked at him.

"I thought you knew that."

He deliberately said loudly, showing off his family background: "This is a story with a prototype. The old wizard in it is actually the ancestor of our family."

"His name is Linfred, a wizard who lived in the twelfth century, nicknamed the Potterer, because his Muggle neighbors only knew that he was idle every day, but they didn't know that he was actually researching potions. .And that’s where the name Potter comes from.”

"He relied on these potions to help many Muggle neighbors who came for help. He also conducted experiments in private and invented many medical potions, including bone spirits and refreshing potions."

"Then the Lucky Cauldron is real?" Sirius asked with interest, and everyone looked over curiously.

But under these looks, James just shook his head helplessly.

"Linfred had seven children." He said: "We are only descendants of the eldest son, and I have never seen this so-called lucky pot."

Karan moved the fangs in his mouth twice, and he knew more.

Not only are the Potters descended from their eldest son, but this eldest son, Hadwin, married a young witch named Iolanth Peverell from Godric's Hollow.

She was the granddaughter of Ignotus Peverell.Since there was no male heir in her generation, as the eldest daughter, she inherited her grandfather's invisibility cloak.

Iolance explained to Hadwin that it was her family's tradition to keep the cloak a secret, and her new husband decided to keep the secret together.

From then on, the Invisibility Cloak began to be passed down from generation to generation by the eldest son of the Potter family.

"Maybe you should really look for it."

At this time, Gideon suddenly suggested with a smile: "Lucky crucible, that means countless wealth."

Fabian also spread his hands: "If I can have this thing, I don't have to worry about wearing this uneven gold watch anymore."

But James didn't have time to say anything. He was quickly taken away by the serious-looking team captain Edgar Bones.

"All right."

Gideon clapped his hands again.

"Let's keep rehearsing."
