"Careful Prewett...be safe?!"
Lily stirred the potion absentmindedly. She thought about this sentence carefully, her frown getting deeper and deeper.
"Did Professor Kettleburn already notice the abnormality in the Prewett brothers? Even before the school started?"
"That's what it sounds like." Karan nodded as he turned around and spoke out the conversation. He turned the spoon in the crucible a few times in time to prevent the potion inside from being wasted, and continued: " And this also just explains why Principal Dumbledore allowed Professor Kettleburn to secretly raise Kiki, the Chimera beast, in the Forbidden Forest: because it was the one who really noticed something was wrong. As a magical animal, it was It was the first to discover the strangeness of Professor Prewett - the inconsistency between appearance and heart, and even knew that one of them was pretending."
"That's why during the holidays, we see Qiqi suddenly go crazy and make everything messy."
He said to the silent Snape: "It is very likely that Qiqi deliberately warned Professor Kettleburn, and then drove them out through crazy means, and then kept them in the prison as evidence. Inside the forest.”
"In this case, all this can be explained."
Karan murmured softly, his brown pupils narrowing slightly.
"President Dumbledore didn't have any reaction to the letter I sent...he just noticed it from Professor Kettleburn very early on."
"That's why he didn't do anything... No, it's not that he didn't do anything. At least Professor Kettleburn has been deliberately monitoring them. For example, at the Fire Crab Club party, the Prewett brothers At least one of them will attend."
Karan was still trying to deduce more information from the previous conversation, but gradually found that the other people were staring at him silently, with different expressions on their faces.
"Doesn't this mean that the abnormality has already occurred during the holidays?!"
After being silent for a long time, Snape suddenly said with some fear: "Even when the two of us met them for the first time in the store? That was the time when we sent the student fund?!"
His thin cheeks suddenly turned pale, without any blood on them.
"If they wanted to go against us at that time, we wouldn't even have time to mount an effective resistance..."
Lily, who listened silently, finally realized the seriousness of the problem, and her green eyes slowly widened.
"Fortunately you didn't..."
She stopped talking in time, not having the heart to speak out about the dire consequences she expected.
But unlike the worried two, Karan just shook his head slightly.
At the same time, as an outsider, Gaspard lowered his head and pondered for a while. He calmly analyzed: "It is normal that you have not been attacked - if the pretender really exists and has some ulterior purpose. if."
"What does this mean?" Lily asked confused.
Gaspard pushed his glasses with his fingers, and a sharp light was reflected from it, causing several people around him to blink.
"Don't forget what Professor Kettleburn said."
"[Maybe one, maybe two.]"
"This shows that he does not know who among the Prewett brothers is the one who is being impersonated. Even the number is uncertain."
"All this is just at the stage of suspicion. He is not completely sure. Otherwise, Principal Dumbledore would not continue to keep them as professors in the school. The risk of doing so would be too great - especially For the students in the school.”
"But the danger has obviously occurred." Snape stared at Guspard closely, his hands clenched into fists unconsciously, and his joints turned white.
"All of us have seen the dangers of the secret room, and the guy who was attacked changed from a cat to a student."
Gaspard met his gaze.
"But when Mrs. Norris was killed, they were clearly still rehearsing in the auditorium. And when the victim became Regulus, they were not suspected by other professors. Otherwise, Principal Dumbledore would be We will never let them go.”
"These are two completely unrelated things. We should not ignore this and there is no way to judge whether they are heirs."
This moment was particularly weird.
Slytherin did not abandon his suspicion.
Hufflepuff defended the other side.
For a while, several people were silent.
They all understood what Gespard meant: Professor Prewett was indeed not suspected of the secret room.
Wolf next to the suitcase yawned lazily, and Steve's head turned back and forth, his gradually rounded face looking a little confused.
"Then why did they sneak into Hogwarts?"
He asked abruptly, already acknowledging that there was something wrong with Professor Prewett.
In this room, he believed in Qiqi more than anyone else.
"For what?" Lily whispered to herself, her beautiful almond eyes blinking non-stop.
"For...what the mysterious man has been looking for?!"
She suddenly thought of this terrible conjecture.
"First it was the goblins, then Egypt, and finally they set their target on Hogwarts?!"
"That's why they took risks and sneaked in?!"
Lily became more and more excited as she spoke, and she finally said solemnly: "We must never let them succeed!"
Then she immediately looked at Karan, staring straight at him.
Karan glanced back.
"Is there anyone behind me?"
Lily ignored Karan's act of acting stupid.
"Your magic talent is the strongest." She said: "This matter is absolutely indispensable without your participation."
Before Karan could say anything, she turned to look at Steve again.
"I thought you could communicate with magical animals?" she asked.
Steve nodded blankly.
Then Lily said something surprising.
"Then we should find an opportunity to sneak into the Forbidden Forest once."
Several people immediately looked at her in surprise, but Lily said regardless: "I don't know if Qiqi has been sent away. If it is really that important, then it should still stay in the Forbidden Forest. .”
"We can try our luck. Maybe we can get something out of its mouth, so that we can have a better idea of whether there is any problem with Professor Prewett."
She gave the order vigorously and resolutely, and the expressions on the faces of several people became more exaggerated.
"and many more!"
Karan quickly stopped him: "We don't have to do this, can't we just wait for the professors to solve it..."
Lily pursed her lips and said nothing, her beautiful almond eyes suddenly turned red.
She looked like she was about to cry.
Several people were shocked by this scene. They had no idea why Lily would suddenly become like this.
Finally, Lily spoke.
"I will never allow myself to watch my friends get hurt again."
It seemed that it was because of Professor Prewett's visit to the Gobstone Shop during the holidays. She looked completely frightened, but she still managed to speak.
"I don't want to wait any longer."
"As a result, all I felt was powerlessness and fear."
