271 Angry, staring, blocking
You can't just sit there and wait for death, right?
Karan thought as he stared at Professor Fabian who was getting closer and closer.
The few people inside the box didn't even dare to breathe, and even Wolf didn't make any sound despite Steve's deliberate reminder.
The smoke and Acromantula had long disappeared in the depression, and even the spider webs had disappeared, leaving only a bare open space. The stone Karan was hiding in was already the largest, but even so, it could not close the gap. He covered it all.
Although he is wearing an invisibility cloak, he has become accustomed to hiding more secretly to avoid being discovered by powerful wizards who can see through the invisibility cloak.
Fortunately, Professor Fabian was not among them, otherwise he would have revealed Karan's identity long ago.
But he still walked here step by step.
Professor Fabian lowered his head, as if he was looking for something. He avoided Qiqi, who was sleeping in the center of the depression, and the distance between him and Karan became closer and closer.
Karan narrowed his eyes slightly.
He placed his hands on both sides of the suitcase, intending to close it at any time, and cast a silent spell for himself in a low voice.
Finally, Professor Fabian walked up to the stone, his eyes scanning everywhere, and inadvertently he even looked at Karan who was staring at him closely.
Everyone in the box covered their mouths in unison, and they all raised their heads and looked up. It seemed that there was only such an invisibility cloak between Professor Fabian's face and them.
Fabian finally got tired of looking at the stone. He walked around and planned to continue walking towards the edge.
The suitcase is already closing slowly.
Gradually, a few people could only see a slight crack.
Karan leaned back, ready to retreat at any moment.
At this moment, there was another burst of rapid footsteps.
Fabian seemed to be startled, his expression immediately became nervous, and he had no intention of looking at the stone anymore.
The suitcase was reopened, and several people breathed a sigh of relief.
Karan stayed still, looking in the direction of the sound.
It didn't take long before another figure suddenly appeared.
But it wasn't the Gideon Prewett that Callan expected.
But Professor Kettleburn.
He was still the same as before, holding a heavy iron bucket in his hand. It seemed that even after the club disbanded, he did not complain about Qiqi, but would still feed it.
Professor Kettleburn appeared quickly, giving Fabian no chance to hide.
He opened his mouth, as if he wanted to defend something.
But Professor Kettleburn interrupted him in advance.
"Why are you here?!" he asked sharply.
Fabian was stunned.
"me..."
He hesitated for a while, and Professor Kettleburn's expression became more fierce.
"Are you planning to take revenge on Qiqi?!"
He walked over angrily and roared at Fabian: "You are not welcome here! You are an unlearned guy who wants to take the opportunity to cause trouble?! Just like you did when you were in school?! I thought you had already Learned how to be more honest!”
"Now! Get out of here!"
"Oh, Merlin's beard." Fabian seemed to have finally come to his senses. He quickly spread his hands and said: "How could I do such a thing? This is just curiosity. You know, the Forbidden Forest is like this. This place is full of mystery and danger, and I have the responsibility to protect Hogwarts."
"Kiki is not dangerous, she just gets naughty occasionally!" Professor Kettleburn became even more angry. He pressed forward step by step. Fabian quickly backed away in panic and leaned forward. On top of the stone where Karan was hiding.
"Don't try to do bad things!"
Callan and the few people in the suitcase were able to clearly see Professor Kettleburn's fierce expression, and he stared directly into Fabian's eyes.
"I'll keep an eye on you!"
The tone of these words seemed somewhat meaningful, seeming to imply that he already knew something was wrong with the Prewett brothers.
Karan didn't know if Fabian understood the meaning of this sentence. He just ran away quickly and disappeared into the woods without looking back.
Professor Kettleburn stared at his back.
After Fabian left, the distance between Kettleburn and Callan was only a stone.
As time passed, Karan did not speak. He stared at Professor Kettleburn in front of him expressionlessly.
Professor Kettleburn had no intention of feeding him now. He leaned on the stone and panted, hammering his arms and legs from time to time, looking tired.
After all, prosthetic limbs are not as convenient to use as the original body. Coupled with the impact of years of injuries, Professor Kettleburn's body is getting worse and worse, and he is no longer as strong as he was when he was young.
After resting for a while, Professor Kettleburn carried the iron bucket and walked back to Qiqi. He slapped Qiqi's body hard twice, and did not use magic to wake it up completely. Feed when sleepy.
"Eat quickly, eat quickly."
Professor Kettleburn's actions were a little rough. He took out a large piece of raw steak and stuffed half of his arm into Qiqi's huge mouth.
Callan vaguely understood why Professor Kettleburn's arm was missing.
The real miracle is that this feeding method can still leave him with one arm.
Fortunately, he was using a prosthetic limb this time, otherwise Callan was really worried that he would lose his other intact arm in the process - he heard the sound of teeth hitting wood several times.
Professor Kettleburn's movements were very neat. He didn't give Qiqi time to speak, and he quickly fed all the meat.
After that, he hesitated for a while, but still raised his wand, pointed at Qiqi's head and said: "Collapse."
A spell was shot, and after a hearty meal, Qiqi immediately fell asleep.
Several people finally understood why Qiqi became like this - it turned out to be the coma spell cast by Professor Kettleburn after feeding, which was pretty much what they had guessed.
Either a sleeping potion or a coma spell.
After settling everything in, Professor Kettleburn was in no hurry to leave.He threw the iron bucket aside and gently patted the Chimera's huge goat body.
Karan watched this scene quietly and did not move again.
The few people in the box looked at each other silently. They were all thinking about Professor Fabian's purpose of coming here and the previous conversation between the two.
Finally, Professor Kettleburn spoke.
"With you now, you can't stop those guys with bad intentions."
He said to himself.
"Bad boy, bad boy..."
He finally slapped Qiqi hard a few times, but still held back when it fell on her.
Finally, he picked up the empty bucket and left alone.
Karan stared at his back silently until he disappeared.
At the same time, there were some vague speculations in Karan's heart.
The purpose of Professor Fabian secretly coming here seems to be for the disappeared Acromantula!
