235 Potions and Drama
The long-standing confusion was finally resolved, but it left them with more confusion.
"The newspaper only said it for 5 minutes?"
Karan immediately realized the problem. He reached for the newspaper and read it carefully.
But Gespard was not wrong.
After reading, Karan looked at the two of them from side to side and frowned.
"But the phoenix chick in the suitcase has been in a coma for at least several months, right? How many times has it been forced to nirvana?"
"Where exactly did Meadows find it?"
Unfortunately, no one can answer this question.
Steve showed a distressed expression, while Gaspard said calmly: "At least many, many times, maybe more than we imagined."
Karan couldn't help but think of the pyramids in that photo again.
Judging from the current results, this is the only place where the chick is likely to be found.
After a brief silence, Karan patted Steve on the shoulder and comforted him: "Forget it, it's better not to think about it anymore."
"At least we have a solution."
After Steve's mood gradually improved, the three began to discuss the flames again.
Fortunately, there is no problem in this point. The three of them all agreed that the last attempt was not ineffective, but the effect was not obvious. After all, Sparks did not stay in a coma for several months.
"Then just keep using the bluebell flame."
Gespard finally said: "Magic fires are very dangerous. I don't want to accidentally light the dormitory on fire again."
That's how things settled.
Karan provided several bottles of fire, part of which was used to awaken the Phoenix chicks, and the other part was left to Gaspard to study and find a way to come up with a controllable but more powerful magic fire.
The days went on as usual, and the time finally came to the end of October.
On Halloween, the sweet and tempting smell of roasted pumpkin wafted everywhere, even faintly reaching the potion preparation room behind the mirror on the fifth floor.
Tonight is the official performance at the Halloween dinner, but the protagonists of the play Lily, the Inferi Snape, and the vampire Karan are all staring at a bottle of bright green potion and a bottle of still warm blue potion. .
In addition, Jinqi the toad is quietly moving backwards.
They all looked a little nervous.
"Well, you always have to give it a try."
Lily took a deep breath and said.
Snape nodded solemnly, grabbed Kinch, and Karan picked up the bright green potion.
"Shrinking potion, there's nothing wrong with the color."
He said: "The drinker can shrink or transform into a younger form, which is reflected in the toad..."
He picked up a small spoon, filled some potion, and poured a few drops into Jin Qi's throat.
The three of them waited silently, and then heard a "pop" sound, and Kinch turned into a tadpole and twisted around in Snape's hand.
"Become a tadpole," Karan said at last.
None of the three cheered. The success of the shrinking potion was expected, and it was not because of this that they waited until now to conduct the experiment.
"Then, next."
Karan looked at Lily, who had already picked up the bottle of blue potion.
"Restore potion," she whispered, looking increasingly nervous.
"If successful, Kinch will transform back into a toad."
Under the gaze of three eyes, blue potion was dripped on the tadpole.
The potion preparation room suddenly became silent.
Eventually, the tadpole suddenly grew bigger and changed back to Jinqi's appearance.
Everything went smoothly.
"It finally worked!" Lily couldn't help laughing, and Snape also breathed a sigh of relief.
Karan, on the other hand, skillfully put the remaining potion into his side pocket, even the polyjuice potion.
The two watched this scene helplessly. Lily stared at Karan's pocket, which was not stretched at all. She looked like she wanted to say something, and it was definitely not something good.
But in the end, she just muttered: "This is the Seamless Stretching Charm, right? That's how you filled a lot of potions last semester."
Snape pursed his lips tightly. He couldn't accept Karan's confession for a while, but it was better to keep hiding it from them like last semester.
"Yes."
Karan took the time to smile at them, and then continued to place the potion bottles carefully.
It wasn't until everything was over that he looked up at the two of them, and immediately noticed the weird atmosphere here.
Lily looked a little aggrieved, and Snape sighed inexplicably.
"Tell me." He said in a low voice: "What other potions do you need?
"This semester won't end for a long time anyway."
His tone was full of concern and dissatisfaction, which was both contradictory and complicated.
Lily said nothing, but her eyes expressed the same meaning as Snape.
Karan blinked.
"Nothing."
He said abruptly: "I just don't want to waste it."
After seeing the two of them stunned, Karan had no choice but to explain: "Don't forget, I didn't ask you to do anything this semester. In fact, I didn't even think about how to use these two potions. "
The two stared at him suspiciously, but still no one spoke.
Karan stared at them dumbfounded.
"You don't really think that I want to do something to the professors, do you?" He asked tentatively in a low voice.
Lily and Snape looked at each other silently, and then nodded vigorously.
"That's a professor!" Karan shouted in surprise.
"That's an Acromantula!" Snape seemed even more surprised than him.
"Even in the forbidden forest of the school!" Lily added angrily.
The three of them faced each other silently, each with their eyes weirder than the other.
It wasn't until a short while later that the silence was finally broken.
"oops!"
Lily suddenly called out. She jumped up and down and patted their shoulders, shouting anxiously: "Drama!"
"The dinner drama will start in a little while! Professor Prewett deliberately told us to arrive early!"
Now, no one cares about potions anymore.
When Snape thought about taking on Callan's role, his face immediately turned pale from nervousness.
Karan quickly fumbled in his pocket and found a small bottle of strangely colored potion. After opening it and smelling it, he turned his head in disgust.
"I'd better wait a while before drinking." He retched twice.
The three of them left the secret passage behind the mirror and hurried downstairs.
On the way, Snape couldn't help but said: "Do you have to quit? You've been rehearsing for so long?"
Karan also hesitated at this time.
"That potion smells really bad. I shouldn't be recognized so easily by dressing up as a vampire, right?"
Snape immediately nodded against his will.
Lily was still thinking about the potion at this time.
"You really didn't plan to do anything?" she asked still doubtfully.
Karan showed a helpless expression again.
"I......"
But before he could finish speaking, his words suddenly stopped.
In the Armor Corridor on the fourth floor, near the trophy room, something fell to the empty floor.
"what is that?"
Lily noticed Karan's gaze, and the three of them walked over together. Then Lily was so frightened that she suddenly covered her mouth.
It was Mrs. Norris.
Its tail was hooked on a pair of armored boots, its body was as stiff as a stone, and its eyes were wide open and staring.
"You guys...take a look at this."
At this time, Snape's disbelieving words sounded.
Just outside the wall of the trophy room, scrawled writing shimmered in the light of burning torches.
【The secret room has been opened,】
[Those who are enemies with the heir, be vigilant. 】
Karan's throat rolled hard, and he subconsciously looked down.
But there was not a trace of water on the floor.
The three of them stood motionless. Lily wanted to rescue Mrs. Norris, but was caught by Snape.
"Let's get out of here quickly," he said.
"It's not a good thing to be discovered in such a situation."
"But..." The moment she saw Mrs. Norris, Lily couldn't help but think of Barian.
At this time, the bell for the end of get out of class suddenly rang throughout the castle.Loud noises came from everywhere, and the students were excited to attend the Halloween dinner that was about to begin.
"quick......"
Snape said anxiously, he had seen the open classroom door on the other side of the corridor.
Cloth like flowing water appeared inexplicably and suddenly covered the heads of the three people.
This is an invisibility cloak.
"Don't make a sound."
Karan pursed his lips tightly.
"Let's get out of here now—before anyone finds us."
"Let's go to that drama that no longer exists."
