292 ward, suitcase, college points, bear

The waking time was much less than Karan expected. Perhaps because of the talent of the occluded, the fear caused by the poison did not have a deep impact on Karan.

When he was first sent to the school hospital, the last dinner before the holiday had just ended, and the deans of each college came to Dumbledore in surprise.

After listening to Dumbledore's story and seeing the sudden appearance of Meadows, the deans suddenly became more suspicious.

"God...mysterious man?"

Professor Slughorn's beard trembled and he asked in disbelief: "He actually stayed with us in Hogwarts for such a long time?"

As if to forget this terrible fact, Professor Slughorn didn't stay long before walking away with Madam Pomfrey. Some special healing potions also required the help of his potions master.

Dean Sprout pulled the tired Meadows and asked her questions, asking her why she suddenly lost contact.

"I'm trapped in an ancient tomb in Egypt - in the midst of a manhunt for Bellatrix and Rodolphus."

After seeing Professor Sprout's shocked expression, Meadows explained quietly: "That's right, Dean, they all became Death Eaters."

Professor McGonagall listened seriously to Dumbledore's instructions. She wanted to ensure that there were no hidden dangers left in the school, and she also had to deal with the passages left in the depression.

Professor Flitwick was staring at the students on the hospital bed intently.

He stared at it for a long time.

"Well...no Ravenclaw."

As the headmaster of Ravenclaw, he suddenly said, his eyes scanning several people one by one.

"Three Hufflepuffs, one Gryffindor, and one Slytherin...but no Ravenclaw."

"That's not fair..."

He kept mumbling: "Among the students who had an accident in the Forbidden Forest last semester, there was no Ravenclaw. That time, there were students from the three colleges, but there was no Ravenclaw."

He muttered dissatisfiedly again.

"That's not fair..."

The sad Professor Flitwick was dragged away by Professor McGonagall in time, and they hurried together to deal with the passage in the Forbidden Forest and the secret room after the battle.

In the campus hospital, which was finally quiet, Karan obediently took the healing potion handed over by Madam Pomfrey.Now, even the thirst and burning feeling in his belly disappeared.

Lying on the hospital bed to his left were Lily and Snape. They also woke up, but their faces were much uglier than Callan's.

"Perhaps it's because the three of us drank the poison." Lily analyzed in a low voice with a pale face: "And those poisons were originally only prepared for one person."

Snape had no reaction to Lily's words. He lay upright on the hospital bed, staring at the ceiling with his eyes wide open, without speaking.

The Imperius Curse didn't erase all their memories, it just made everything that had just happened blurry, like a scene seen through a fogged window.

While Lily was speaking, her body could not help but tremble slightly.

On Karan's right side were Steve and Gaspard respectively. Their situation was much safer than the other three, but when Madam Pomfrey sternly asked them to lie on the hospital bed, the two No one refuted, but drank the warm potion obediently and ate the rich dark chocolate in silence.

Gesper tilted his head, staring directly at Karan's witch robe placed on the bedside, his eyes always inadvertently glanced at Karan.

Karan rolled his eyes and muttered under his breath: "I really shouldn't have cast the Seamless Stretch Charm on just one pocket..."

The corners of Gespard's mouth raised slightly. After Karan shushed him, Gespard nodded silently and took out a notebook.

On the cover of the notebook, there is a line of words - "Karan's Observation Diary" written generously.

Karan nodded helplessly.

Lily didn't understand what deal they were doing - when they fell into Kahlan's pocket, both she and Snape were completely unconscious and didn't see anything.

But this did not prevent her from quietly taking out a notebook, and then she imitated Gaspard's example and stared directly at Karan.

Karan glanced at her inexplicably and found that the notebook in her hand was written - "Karan's Defense Technique".

"This is my Christmas present to Petunia," Lily whispered.

Karan curled his lips dissatisfied.

But after a moment of silence, he still nodded helplessly.

Whether it was Lily's [Escape] or Snape's forced fall, he had never forgotten it, and it was difficult to forget it.

Now is not the time to spoil the fun.

Lily carefully put away the notebook with satisfaction, a satisfied smile on her face, her body finally stopped shaking, and she felt much better.

Snape still didn't react.

But on the other side, a burst of non-stop murmurs suddenly sounded.

“Suitcase suitcase suitcase suitcase suitcase suitcase…”

Steve's eyes were dull. He didn't seem to care about what was in Kahlan's pocket, and he was no longer worried about whether Kahlan would silence them. All his worries were placed on the suitcase found by Dumbledore. .

"Wofwowwowwowwoww..."

His eyes became duller, his palms suddenly became weak, and the dark chocolate was thrown onto the bed.

"It's over..."

He yelled one last time, completely losing hope in his eyes.

At this time, another person in the ward, Dorcas Meadows, stood up. Instead of lying on the hospital bed, she insisted on sitting down after drinking the potion to restore her strength, so as not to lose her vigilance. Even Madam Pomfrey and Dean Sprout refused to listen.

"Stop arguing." She reached out and rubbed Steve's hair.

Steve paused. He looked at Meadows aggrievedly, his eyes suddenly widened, and he stretched out his arms.

"Phoenix!"

He exclaimed happily: "We finally rescued the Phoenix, Dorcas!"

The blue chick jumped off Meadows' shoulder, jumped into Steve's steadily held hand, and nuzzled his fingers with its head.

Steve had a smile on his face.

"It's still a blue phoenix, it's really strange."

He still praised in surprise, as if he had forgotten all the troubles related to the suitcase.

Meadows watched this scene quietly. She turned her head and her eyes met with Karan who was also looking over.

Karan raised his eyebrows, looking a little proud.

Meadows curled his lips and made a cut.

At this time, the door to the ward opened and Dumbledore strode in.

Through the gap that was about to close, Karan saw Moody leaving.

"Good news, kids."

Dumbledore said with a smile, as if the previous battle didn't exist at all.

"We successfully found the unconscious Professor Kettleburn and Professor Fabian in Kettleburn's house. They are both still alive and well, but they have been in a coma for too long and need to recuperate."

Several students were stunned. They looked at each other back and forth, and then clapped vigorously.

"Great! This is really good!"

Steve shouted, as if he was deliberately trying to behave better to avoid being punished for the suitcase.

Dumbledore looked towards him with a smile, and Steve retracted his palm with an awkward smile.

"Principal, something about the suitcase..."

Steve hesitated, his fleshy round face almost turning red. He planned to be the first to confess.

"Don't worry, Steve."

Dumbledore said gently: "Wulf has told me everything."

Wolf?

Steve blinked in confusion.

At this moment, the door to the ward opened again, and Wolf walked in slowly with Steve's suitcase in his mouth.

"Yeah, Wolf."

Dumbledore's tone was still gentle: "It has been brought to the Forbidden Forest by me since I was a child - I discovered it during one of my long trips."

"I just did this to make it live a better life and avoid suffering from the kind of... one-sided view in the wizarding world. I believe you think so too, right, Steve?"

Steve looked at Wolf walking next to his hospital bed and nodded blankly.

It seems like you don’t need to be punished anymore?

"Of course...of course, Principal."

He quickly said happily, jumped off the bed quickly, and hugged Wolf tightly.

Dumbledore smiled at the scene.

"The good news doesn't stop there." He continued: "Brave students always deserve awards, not to mention that you are facing threats that even professors cannot deal with."

"For this reason, the school has decided to reward you with one hundred academy points."

"One hundred?" Steve screamed, and Lily covered her mouth in surprise.

Dumbledore nodded.

"One hundred percent for everyone."

Steve was completely stunned. He counted on his fingers: "One hundred plus one hundred plus one hundred..."

"Three hundred points?!"

He looked at Karan and Gaspard with joy.

"We're going to win the Academy Cup this year!"

But what he got in exchange was an embarrassing silence.

Under his puzzled gaze, the two of them spoke one after another.

"Don't forget that there is still the Quidditch Cup. It's not over yet." Gospard said calmly: "The level of the Hufflepuff team..."

"There are also the scores we usually get in class. We have just celebrated Christmas." Karan also added calmly: "The performance of Hufflepuff students in class..."

Steve immediately opened his mouth in embarrassment.

“But the second place is still pretty sure.”

Meadows rubbed Steve's head again, and she smiled.

"Don't be dissatisfied. Hufflepuff has not been ranked second for many years. Dean Sprout will definitely be very happy."

So Steve started to be silly and happy again, celebrating happily with Wolf.

"Principal, but I..."

At this time, Lily suddenly whispered: "I don't seem to be of much help. It was Karan and the others who saved us, and Professor Meadows..."

When she said this, she looked at Meadows in confusion. Until now, she still didn't understand how Meadows appeared in Hogwarts.

Snape said nothing, but the meaning was equally obvious in his eyes.

"not like this."

Karan suddenly said: "With the shrinking potion, and when we were inside the statue, if it weren't for your help, I definitely wouldn't have been able to escape with you."

"You saved us..." Lily corrected in a low voice: "And we actually had no help. Even if we failed to break free from the control of the Imperius Curse, you could successfully subdue us."

"That's not necessarily true." Karan shook his head and denied, "No matter how fast the glass flies, it cannot be as fast as the magic spell."

He spoke calmly about the atrocities he almost committed.

Lily's cheeks turned red silently, and Snape was silent and speechless.

"It appears the differences have been completely resolved."

Dumbledore looked at Lily and said: "But I still have to remind you: bravery in desperate situations is not cheaper than ordinary good deeds, but is more precious."

"In the face of danger, you subconsciously made your own choices. This is a true reflection of people's hearts."

"You are brave and kind."

Lily's face suddenly turned redder.

"Okay, that's it, have a good rest kids, Christmas vacation is tomorrow."

Dumbledore looked at a few people and said, "Mrs. Pomfrey finally agreed not to waste your vacation in an empty ward. Of course, this is thanks to Professor Slughorn's superb potion skills."

At this moment, Snape suddenly said his first words.

"Principal..." He whispered: "Can you not tell your parents about this?"

Several people looked at him.

"Can I know why? Severus." Dumbledore asked gently: "This is a brave act worthy of praise. Prince will be proud of it."

Snape lowered his head in silence, and finally said: "I don't want my mother to worry about me because of this kind of thing..."

"She's been through enough."

Several people were silent together, as if even the air was stagnant.

Dumbledore sighed slightly.

"You want me not to reveal your best side?"

Dumbledore looked down at Snape's still pale cheeks.

"If you insist......"

At this time, Lily suddenly said: "Principal, I don't want my parents to know about this either."

Before Dumbledore could ask, Lily quickly explained: "Although they think magic is interesting, it definitely does not include that kind of dangerous experience. They may not allow me to continue to go to Hogwarts."

"If it doesn't work..." She bit her finger and said, "Just tell Penny, just tell her alone."

Then she added cautiously: "I will tell her personally, so I don't need to trouble you."

Dumbledore smiled good-naturedly.

"Of course, Lily."

The heavy atmosphere was broken in time by Lily's interruption, preventing Snape from continuing to fall into an awkward atmosphere.

He looked at Lily movedly.

Lily gave him a bright smile.

Dumbledore turned his head again and looked at Meadows and Callan respectively.

Meadows took the chick back and placed it on his shoulder.

Karan nodded slightly.

"Let the conversation begin, Headmaster Dumbledore."
