272 Voldemort’s Goals and Secrets
During the last semester, Lucius Malfoy received secret help from Voldemort. Only in this way was it possible for him to know the existence of the Acromantula, the location of the Room of Requirement, and create an effect similar to the scream of a female ghost. Dark magic potion.
But in the end he failed.
Not only was Ted rescued in time, but even the Acromantulas were all expelled from Hogwarts.
But Lucius didn't know the real reason for his failure. After spreading the madness, he quickly left the Forbidden Forest to avoid becoming a target of attack.
Therefore, he did not know that Karan was the culprit who ruined this plan.
Likewise, Voldemort didn't know this.
That's why he sent "Fabian" to explore all this, starting from the depression where the Acromantulas once lived.
Among the things he is looking for, Karan has unknowingly become his target.
After thinking about this clearly, Karan's heart felt a little heavy, but then he breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, he couldn't be Voldemort's real target, at least not all of them.
Since he had no connection with the goblins killed during the holidays or the pyramids of Egypt, Voldemort's purpose in planning these events remains unknown.
As for Professor Kettleburn...
He must have noticed something, so he placed Qiqi in an empty depression to avoid being disturbed by those with ill intentions.
Although he, like many other professors, did not know the truth, as a professor of Care of Magical Creatures, he could easily figure out the strange connection between the Acromantula and the injured Ted - the Acromantula The time of his madness coincided with the time when Ted almost died, and Karan and the others happened to sneak into the Forbidden Forest on the same day.
After returning to the castle, Karan told several people his guess and asked them to be more careful in the future.
They didn't know that Lucius had done such terrible things, but Karan still said it carefully.
It would do them no harm to realize in advance the cruelty of blood war.
After listening to Callan's story, Snape was completely speechless, and Lily was in a similar state to him.
They didn't expect that the process they experienced last semester contained such terrible truths. This was far beyond a "joke".
So the people who asked the question became Steve and Guspard, but they knew much less than Lily and Snape.
"Acromantulas?" Steve asked in shock: "There are actually Acromantulas in the Forbidden Forest? Or is it a whole community? I have never heard Hagrid say such a thing..."
Gaspard actually saw something more wrong.
While several people were silent, he pulled Karan aside and asked quietly: "Are the things you just said related to the injuries to Larry and Andromeda? So you actually never gave up. To find the truth?"
Callan acquiesced to this, but he did not reveal all of his methods - such as his plan to take the Venom and sell it for a large sum of money - Steve and Guspard still did not know about it .
However, Gespard seemed to have guessed something. After pushing back and forth with him for a long time, the direction of the problem gradually returned to the right track.
"Could it be that we are thinking too much?"
Unlike Gaspard, Lily, who finally knew all the facts, guessed: "As you said, there are some things that even the professors don't know. Fabian may just be curious."
"And there is nothing wrong between him and Professor Gideon - well, I should say there is nothing too wrong. At least so far, they have nothing to do with the Chamber of Secrets, right?"
"I also know this, and I also hope so." Karan said: "The purpose of telling you these things is just to hope that you can be careful, especially you and Snape."
He looked at the two of them and said, "You know what I mean."
Lily and Snape didn't speak. Of course they knew exactly what Callan meant. After all, they had witnessed the scene where Callan collected venom.
The reason why Karan asked them to be careful was because they were also students who sneaked into the Forbidden Forest that day, which made them likely to be suspected by the other party.
Of course they won't betray Karan, but they still find it all a bit unbelievable.
"Maybe we should tell Dumbledore what we just saw!" Lily suddenly suggested.
Originally they just wanted to avoid danger, but they learned that they might face greater danger.
In desperation, this was the best response Lily could think of.
"Dumbledore will definitely find a way." Lily continued to insist, her eyes opening wider and wider, and she didn't even have time to take care of her messy hair.
"Of course it should be done." Steve was the first to agree. He didn't want to see these people being implicated inexplicably. Coupled with Mr. Newt's influence, he always had a strong affection for Dumbledore. sense of trust.
"Maybe I should write a letter to my father." He murmured in a low voice: "This might also prevent us from having our academy points deducted for sneaking into the Forbidden Forest. He should be willing to help, right?"
After a long silence, Snape finally looked up at Karan.
He didn't speak, his expression became confused and tangled, but the meaning in his eyes was self-evident.
He agreed with Lily's idea - especially after seeing Lucius's methods.
Voldemort would be far more terrifying than him.
But neither Callan nor Gaspard spoke.
Karan silently walked aside, sat down on a chair, and sighed softly.
Gaspard explained to the confused people: "You are too impatient."
"Don't forget, we were not the only ones who saw those things, but also Professor Kettleburn. He even placed Qiqi in an empty depression in advance."
"Without Principal Dumbledore's permission, he would not have been able to do this successfully."
Lily was stunned for a moment, then she immediately reacted: "You mean Dumbledore has already guessed these things?"
"That's right." Gesper nodded and said, "It's just not clear yet why he hasn't done anything about it yet."
"Maybe it's because we thought wrong from the beginning, or maybe... it's related to the secret room."
"After all, what happened to the Prewett brothers had nothing to do with the secret room at all."
After hearing these words, several people became even more confused.
The candlelight swayed and floated in the air.
Karan lowered his head, with a frown on his handsome face and said nothing.
It was obvious that his mood was heavier than anyone else's.
Especially Lily and Snape, because they already know the whole truth.
And unknowingly, Karan became Voldemort's target.
"There must be a way!"
I don’t know whether it was to encourage herself or to tell Karan deliberately, but Lily kept whispering: "There will definitely be a way."
Snape pursed his lips and nodded silently.
His inner thoughts were quietly shaken. Voldemort was no longer a respectable and worshipful leader, but became the enemy of his friends.
Steve was still trying to sort out everything he had just heard, and finally he whispered: "It would be great if I could contact Dorcas. She will definitely be willing to help, and she is so powerful."
After Gespard observed silently for a while, he walked up to Karan and asked him: "How many things are you hiding from us?"
Karan's brows did not relax, he slowly closed his eyes, put his hands into his hair, and messed up the hairstyle, looking a little irritated.
But his tone was unprecedentedly calm.
"At least much better than Dumbley."
He said.
