246 Concealment and Treasure Bag

In the courtyard of the castle, Lily leaned in front of a pillar, her long crimson hair flowing down and draped on her shoulders.

Barian in her arms kept stroking the ends of her hair with her cat's paws, never getting tired of it.

Snape stood on the grass not far away. He watched this scene silently. His body gradually stooped out of habit, but then he straightened up immediately - this was the result of Karan's repeated taunts.

Students kept coming out of the castle gate in the distance. They were chattering about something, but it had nothing to do with Mrs. Norris who had been victimized before. Most of them were related to Quidditch.

Today is the official start of the Quidditch season, and the game will be played soon, against the Gryffindor and Slytherin teams.

But the minds of the two people in the courtyard were not on this game.

"Do you think Karan has really given up?"

Lily said this as if talking to herself.

Snape was still watching Lily silently. When he came to his senses, he found that both Lily and Balian were staring at him.

"What."

He looked extremely panicked, looking around helplessly, but couldn't find anything to cover up.

The confusion in Lily's eyes deepened, but Barian suddenly meowed.

For some reason, Snape heard the sarcasm in Balian's voice.

Just like the half-smiling expression on Karan's face.

"Of course not!"

Snape suddenly yelled, and blood poured into his thin cheeks, making his face turn red.

But Snape still tried to hide it and said: "How could Karan give up? Even if he says the same thing a hundred times, we can't believe it. At the very least... we have to be more careful."

His tone was stumbling and didn't seem convincing at all.

"A hundred times is too exaggerated." Lily said with some dissatisfaction, but this was more focused on Snape's surprise just now.

"But I'm the same as you."

She then lowered her head and said, "I also feel that Karan has not given up."

"Even if it has nothing to do with the secret room, he will definitely hide other things from us."

Lily snorted angrily, pouting her mouth in dissatisfaction.

Snape was trying his best to avoid Barian's gaze, and he always felt that the sarcasm there became deeper.

The atmosphere became a little quiet for a while, with only the distant noises and the rustling of the grass in the breeze.

"Then why do you think Karan doesn't plan to watch the game again?"

After a while, Lily asked in a low voice: "What do you think he did?"

This time Snape was fully alert to listen to the question, which finally prevented him from making a fool of himself again.

"Who knows?" He sneered and said, "They are probably preparing something secretly, maybe they are secretly looking for a secret room."

Callan once again told them they wouldn't go to the game - just like last term.

And not only that, Karan rarely contacts them recently, and the number of gatherings between the three of them is also much less.

Lily took out the magic coin in her hand and stared at it back and forth.Then she took out her willow wand and pointed it at the coin.

"Veriz, Veriz!"

She cast several spells in succession, but nothing happened to the coin.

"You can't really use an owl to find Karan in school."

She murmured in a low voice, and then complained a few words with some resentment: "How did Karan learn such a difficult spell as the Transformation Spell?"

"I have practiced secretly many times, but I have never succeeded. I can't even make a coin heat up."

Snape also took out his magic coin, but the cypress wand had no effect.

It seems that at least this has nothing to do with the wand.

It's just the wizard's own problem.

Facing Lily's slightly disappointed look, Snape thought for a while and whispered hesitantly: "Perhaps this is because Karan has never had much rest."

"Even when he was riding a broomstick during the holidays, he would always find time to take out a book from his [baby bag] and read it silently. Not to mention when he was at school - either Transfiguration, or magic, I have never seen him really resting in the potion preparation room."

After a pause, Snape murmured as if reminiscing: "This is just like before formal enrollment."

"Karan always has endless books to read."

The breeze blew again, gently lifting Lily's bangs, and her amazing green eyes blinked.

"Karan really likes magic."

Lily finally said with emotion.

But her tone didn't sound like praise, nor was she jealous. Instead, she seemed helpless.

At this time, more and more people came out of the castle, but neither of them moved, they just looked at the students walking towards the Quidditch pitch silently.

The Gryffindor Quidditch players finally came out. James held the polished Nimbus 1001 in his hand, enjoying the cheers and envious eyes of the students around him, and then raised his head again. He scratched his short hair hard to make it messier, as if he had just gotten off a broomstick.

"Defeating Slytherin is just a piece of cake."

He said carelessly, while noticing Lily and Snape not far away.

This was obviously not a good time to cause trouble, but James still shouted loudly from a distance: "Pay attention to your academy status!"

"This is not the time to cheer for the enemy team!"

The crowd around him burst into roars of laughter, but Snape did not laugh.

Lily, who knew James was talking to her, also didn't smile. She even turned her head away in disgust.

"Good games are ruined by people like this."

Lily whispered angrily.

The corners of Snape's mouth turned up inadvertently, but Lily didn't see this scene. Her attention was attracted by the roommates who came over.

"It's time to go, Lily."

Ma Lin chuckled and said, "If it's any later, there won't be a good seat."

"Or did Sangster reserve a seat for you in advance?"

Mary, who was timid, hid behind Marlene, her head peeking out quietly on her shoulders.But she only glanced at Snape and immediately looked away, as if she was looking for something.

"You guys go first." Lily said hesitantly, as if she hadn't made up her mind yet whether to go to the game or not.

But when she noticed Mary's gaze, her tone immediately became a little angry.

"Stop looking, Karan is not here!"

Mary's face immediately turned red, and she pouted, as if quietly expressing protest to Lily.
