"You really are here!"

As soon as she saw Karan, Lily yelled out.

But the first thing Snape noticed were two other uninvited guests.

"How come you are here?"

He asked with a frown, looking a little wary.

But compared to the dumbfounded Steve, he focused more on Guspard.

Now, because of the Polyjuice Potion, he was staring back and forth at Snape and Lily with burning eyes, layers of light flashing on his lenses.

Snape felt that this look was a bit strange and couldn't help but take two steps back.

At this time, after seeing Lily's anxious look, Karan finally asked: "I just found time to go back to Hogsmeade Village."

"What are you doing to me?"

"Hogsmeade?" Lily didn't have time to wonder about this, she said quickly: "We just saw Professor Fabian return to the castle alone, and secretly went to the abandoned girls' bathroom on the second floor-that is, Where Professor Meadows was discovered to be a late bloomer.”

Karan suddenly became energetic.

He had long known Professor Prewett's suspicions, and the most important point was that he also knew what else was there besides the condensation caused by Meadows in the bathroom - the entrance to the Slytherin Chamber of Secrets.

Although he didn't find this entrance, it doesn't mean that others can't.

Karan immediately took out the invisibility cloak and covered the heads of the three of them.

Steve on the other side was still in a daze, but he was quickly dragged away by Gaspard, and the two of them were also covered in Steve's invisibility cloak.

The five people walked one behind the other in the deserted corridor, their bodies hidden under two invisibility cloaks, and the cheers from the stadium could still be heard in their ears.

"James grabbed the Quaffle! He managed to evade Slytherin's defense. It looked so easy - a goal! Ten points for Gryffindor!"

The cheers suddenly became louder, completely covering up the sound of their footsteps.

Snape snorted disdainfully, but Lily didn't care about this kind of thing anymore.

She turned her head to look at Karan, who had a serious face, and murmured in a low voice: "I knew you hadn't given up on making trouble, otherwise how could your reaction be so big."

Upon hearing this, Snape also calmed down the expression on his face and turned to look at Karan.

There was a brief silence.

Karan didn't stop or look at the two of them.

He said softly: "I'm just doing this just in case."

"I'm only a Muggle-born after all."

"Even being at Hogwarts can't change this fact."

There were familiar puzzling words again. Lily and Snape looked at each other silently and did not continue to ask any more questions.

They stopped at one side of the corridor on the second floor. After that, Karan refused to approach the bathroom any further, lest something would pop out from there and leave them with no extra time to deal with it.

Steve and Gaspard also stopped aside under Karan's instructions. The five of them looked towards the bathroom. The door was closed tightly, so they could not see any scene inside.

This is also the reason why Lily and Snape want to rely on luck to find Karan: they don't have an invisibility cloak, and even if they did, they wouldn't be able to open the door in this situation - Professor Fabian is still inside, and it suddenly opened The door will definitely attract his attention.

[Unless he is not in the bathroom, but has entered the secret room. 】

After waiting silently for a while, Karan suddenly thought of this.

Despite their objections, he allowed Lily and Snape to squeeze inside Steve's invisibility cloak.Then he put on an invisibility cloak alone and quietly walked toward the bathroom door.

The four of them stared at the empty corridor. They didn't know where Karan had gone, but they didn't dare to make a sound for fear of being heard by Professor Fabian who suddenly came out.

At this time, Karan had quietly walked to the door.

He stood through the door, wanting to hear if there was any movement inside.

There was a faint sound that was indistinguishable.

But he clearly heard the approaching footsteps.

Suddenly, the bathroom door opened, and a figure walked out.

Karan immediately noticed the gold watch on the other person's wrist. This was indeed Professor Fabian.

Professor Fabian coughed twice and looked a little uncomfortable.

He glanced back one last time, and Karan noticed that he was looking at the condensation that Meadows had created.But despite this, Karan was still prepared in advance, planning to turn his back immediately when something suddenly appeared inside, saying nothing and not looking into the monster's eyes - whether it was a basilisk or not.

But Professor Fabian just closed the door again, and then strode away from Karan who was hiding under the invisibility cloak and staring at him.

Karan frowned, and he bravely glanced into the crack of the door that was about to close, but he saw nothing except the still hovering condensation.

There seems to be no "monster" in the secret room.

And Professor Fabian seems to have nothing to do with the Chamber of Secrets.

He seemed to be more interested in the anomaly caused by Meadows.

Judging from the timeline, he graduated much earlier than Meadows, which meant that he had never seen such a condensation with his own eyes.

In addition, this is a [girls] bathroom. If he wants to satisfy his curiosity, Fabian can only come here when the Quidditch game is going on.

So as not to be discovered or find anyone inside.

This approach is quite in line with Professor Fabian's temperament. He has never been the kind of obedient and good student.

After Professor Fabian left completely, Karan finally waved to the other side of the corridor, and then he took the four people into the bathroom regardless of their dissatisfaction.

Except for Lily, the other three people had never been to the girls' bathroom before, and it was their first time to see what the so-called condensation was.

"A late bloomer..."

Gaspard stared directly at the violently shaking fragments in the air, and murmured in a low voice: "It's incredible magic."

Steve was even more surprised than he was. He was completely speechless, and it was difficult to associate this condensation with Dorcas - it was like he was hearing Dorcas for the first time. The complete story completely overturned his impression of Dorcas.

Snape remained silent and said nothing. He stared at the scene in front of him carefully, as if he wanted to imprint it deeply in his heart.

After a while, he said in an inaudible voice: "Power..."

Lily acted much calmer than them all. This was not the first time she had seen such a scene.

But when she turned around, she found that Karan was a few people away and was carefully checking every compartment.

"What are you doing?" Lily asked curiously.

Karan closed the last compartment door, shook his head and said.

"Just in case."
