302 Forbidden Lake Ruins, School Instructor, Mary

302 Forbidden Lake Ruins, School Instructor, Mary

Do not disturb the sleeping dragon.

Never mess with a sleeping dragon.

This is the motto and motto of Hogwarts.

Kalan didn't expect that this sentence would be engraved on the stone door of the Forbidden Lake ruins!

This thing is wrong no matter how you think about it, because there are only buildings left by Gryffindor and Slytherin in the ruins of the Forbidden Lake, not Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff.

Since it is a school motto, it should be related to all four founders, but there are only two founders in the Forbidden Lake ruins.

Coupled with the profound meaning contained in this sentence - never provoke a sleeping dragon - it is full of warnings.

Warning what?

Is it because of what is hidden behind the stone door on the third floor of the giant snake and lion statue?

In order to prevent entrants from disturbing the existence behind the stone door?No more contact?

There are also sleeping dragons, the fire dragons of the magical world...

After that, Karan looked through books related to magical animals, especially those about fire dragons.

Fortunately, he has not found any species of fire dragon that can survive for thousands of years. The lifespan of a fire dragon is far less exaggerated than that of a basilisk.

In fact, Slytherin's basilisk is already a special case. It is the longest-lived basilisk in existence. It relies on its deep sleep ability, which can prevent continued growth and enter a state similar to suspended animation.

However, this ability must be commanded through a Parselmouth, which is why Slytherin's Basilisk can survive for so long, because Slytherin himself is a Parseltongue.

Unfortunately, the basilisk had already been trampled to death by Karan after using the shrinking potion. He also crushed it twice and turned it into a puddle of flesh. Not even the fangs were left.

After figuring out that there could not really be a fire dragon in the Forbidden Lake ruins, Karan began to think about other things that might exist behind the stone door.

During the last entry, they had discovered various clues.

The things inside the serpent statue are all related to non-existence. The only exception is that there are no dementors, and they are replaced by similar magical animals-the Voldemort bat.

The things inside the lion statue are related to armor and statues, they all come to life, which involves transfiguration, and must be related to the stone pier in Hogwarts Castle.

And what these two founders have in common is that they both left rewards for those who came after them to break through, intending to make them real Gryffindors and real Slytherins.

But after that, they erased the memory of the entrants. This really seemed a bit contradictory and went against the original intention of the two founders.

Because once the entrants have their memories related to the ruins erased, they will also forget the experience of breaking through the level. In other words, this will result in all entrants not gaining any useful experience and lessons except the rewards for breaking through the level. .

This is far from being a true Gryffindor and Slytherin.

Because the one who enters forgets everything.

Even the original intention of breaking through the level has been forgotten.

But on the stone entrance gates of the two statues, different words appeared.

[The students we teach must be shrewd and ambitious, pursuing the highest achievements, and at the same time, they must be thoughtful. 】

[Be a true Slytherin. 】

[The students we teach must be brave, fearless, courageous, and courageous. 】

[Be a true Gryffindor. 】

This is the text on the stone door at the entrance to the statue.

But after the entrants left the ruins, they had forgotten all this.

Only Karan, a born closed-brained person, managed to retain his memory.

And if the ruins of the Forbidden Lake are really so dangerous, then why is there still a chance to enter?Isn't it the safest option to block it directly?

This extremely contradictory move made Karan frown.

A terrible guess gradually appeared in his mind.

The founders of the ruins were indeed Gryffindor and Slytherin.

But the person who carved the stone door at the entrance of the ruins and the school motto on it was someone else!

The mysterious school trainer gave a chance to enter, perhaps because the other party did not want Gryffindor and Slytherin's thoughts and wishes to be wasted.

However, the school instructor had to erase the memory of all entrants to break through the barrier.

The real reason has been engraved on the stone door by the other party.

[Don’t disturb the sleeping dragon. 】

【Never mess with a sleeping dragon. 】

This is a warning message.

At the same time, it is also a new clue to find the ruins of the Forbidden Lake.

As for the person who left this clue - the mysterious school trainer, the person may be Rowena Ravenclaw, who is also the founder of the school, or Helga Hufflepuff.

Even over the centuries, Hogwarts's headmasters, professors...

Or even tens of thousands of all students.

They may all be mysterious school trainers.

That is, the one who left the warning.

At the same time, Snape, who was sitting opposite Karan, had already put down the note. He was continuing to read the dark magic book that seemed a bit superficial. However, when he inadvertently raised his head, he found that Karan was still there. Staring at the note closely.

This is not right.

Snape didn't think Karan would suddenly be so interested in a simple school motto. The only possibility was that it had something to do with the origin of the school motto.

That is, the mysterious ancient characters on the note.

"Where did you see these ancient writings?" Snape asked abruptly, staring at Karan with confusion.

Karan put the note away. He thought about it carefully, but finally chose to hide the fact and did not help Snape complete the lost memory.

He wasn't worried about Snape leaking the secret, but he was worried about others reading Snape's thoughts.

This includes not only Dumbledore, but Dorcas Meadows, and even Voldemort.

Especially Voldemort.

Karan didn't want him to suddenly appear in Hogwarts again, and the ruins of the Forbidden Lake were likely to attract him.

After all, there are not only buildings left by Slytherin, but also buildings from Gryffindor.

To Voldemort, this might be more attractive than the Chamber of Secrets.

Snape saw that Callan was deliberately concealing it, but after frowning, he stopped caring about it.

After all, the content on the note was just a school motto, which was not surprising, let alone dangerous.

The most important thing is that he has gradually become accustomed to Karan's concealment.

From the beginning, Karan was a man full of secrets.

Snape still hadn't figured out how Callan knew so much about the wizarding world before enrolling.

He already knew that Karan's parents were just ordinary Muggles, and Mr. Anthony was just an ordinary dean.

But it doesn't matter.

In the face of the things Callan did to help him, Snape would no longer doubt Callan's motives.

At most, it is somewhat dangerous, and of course it also includes extremely dangerous things.

But in the end, Karan was always helping himself, and Lily.

This was what Snape really saw.

After seeing that Snape did not continue to ask further questions, Karan became curious.

He didn't know Legilimency, so he had to ask tentatively: "Would you and Lily also write about this matter in "Karan Defense"?"

Snape immediately calmed down, smiled mockingly, said nothing, and continued to read with his head down.

Karan continued to ask calmly: "Then how much have you written?"

Snape was continuing to think about the Dark Curse. He said without raising his head: "It's a notebook full, and I'm currently planning the second volume..."

Snape suddenly realized that he had slipped his words, and he quickly covered his mouth.

Karan stared at him with evil eyes.

"Okay, you guys!" He said angrily: "You wrote so much and you didn't tell me! Show it to me quickly!"

Snape muttered words such as "delusion" and "would rather die than obey", and suppressed the magic book that almost hit his forehead.

"I know." Karan sneered: "It's all at Lily's place, right."

Snape snorted disdainfully.

Even if Callan knew this, Snape didn't believe Callan could get the notes from Lily.

She is a staunch supporter of "Karan's Defense Technique". Once her temper gets angry, no one can do anything to her.

But Karan was also staring at him with a sneer, and then suddenly changed his face to a gentle one.

He turned around and waved in a certain direction.

Miss Mary, with rosy cheeks, moved over little by little, her head lowered almost to the bottom of her feet.

Mary McDonald is Lily's roommate.

She had always liked Sirius Black, and Callan Sangster.These two are recognized as sophomore school darlings.

And compared to the cold Sirius, the polite Sangster is undoubtedly more lovable, and everyone agrees.

Snape's expression changed drastically, and he stared at Mary with dark eyes.

But Mary didn't have the energy to look at Snape. She didn't even dare to raise her head and look at Callan now.

This was the first time she was alone with Karan. Lily was usually there, so she could only watch secretly and didn't dare to speak.

As for Snape?

She still doesn't know Snape's full name, and the slightly grumpy Marlene MacKinnon only calls him "that Slytherin guy".

None of them could understand how Lily could be friends with a Slytherin student.

Karan is better.

Kaland is so good.

The confused Mary only had this idea in her mind. When she returned to her place again, she didn't know when she suddenly held a lot of snacks in her arms.

Only then did she remember Karan's instructions just now.

"Hurry up and hide the snacks before Mrs. Pince finds them."

After Mary left, Snape's gloomy eyes immediately focused on Karan.

Karan didn't mention "Karan's Defense" just now, but Snape still watched as Karan sent out a lot of snacks, and said that he might ask Mary for help.

Silly Mary agreed to them all.

"hateful!"

Snape clenched his fists, and Karan raised his eyebrows proudly.

"You wait!"

After saying this, Snape aggressively took out a blank piece of parchment and filled it with writing.

He wants to sue!

But Karan still looked at him nonchalantly, and even offered to let Weier deliver the letter.

This little guy has been very idle recently, and the others in the owl loft are too lazy to pay attention to this junior messenger, which makes him a little unhappy and makes trouble on Karan's head in the dormitory every day.

"Well...that's okay."

Snape didn't refuse.

Snape felt distressed at the thought of borrowing the nuts that other owls needed to please.

He was not as lavish with money as Karan, and Lily simply saved the unexpected huge sum of money in Gringotts and rarely used it.

In the corridor, Karan let Weier fly out with satisfaction. It was finally quieter these days.

He stood side by side with Snape, looking at the little figure flying high.

None of them mentioned werewolves in their letters.

Because as early as when he first heard the news, Karan sent a message to Lily through a magic coin, asking her to be careful.

In her reply to the two of them, she also mentioned it briefly.

[A new neighbor moved in near her home. 】

======

In a residential area in Cokeworth, England.

An old man walked out of the house he had just moved to. Wearing a moth-eaten Turkish hat, he picked up a broom and began to clear the snow in the yard.

The curtains of the window facing this scene not far away were quietly opened, revealing a pair of curious eyes staring closely at the old man.

The owner of the eyes is Penny who also returned home from vacation.

There was another person staying in the warm bedroom.

Lily was lying on the soft bed. She frowned and read a "Book of Potions" carefully. She also had "Thousands of Magical Herbs and Mushrooms", "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them", and "Dark Magic" at hand. : Self-Defense Guide.

The last two books were opened to the same title position.

【Werewolf】.

She had known for a long time that Karan wanted to study werewolves for no reason. After realizing the danger involved, she immediately replied with a long and fierce letter, telling Snape that he must stop Karan.

However, after Weier left, Lily lay on the bed and tossed and turned for most of the night. Finally, she sat up in anger and annoyance. She reluctantly looked through the textbooks she had brought back from the holiday, trying to find out if there was anything that could be used to deal with werewolves. Method.

Of course, there is no need to take the initiative to tell Karan and Snape about this matter, it is just a safety precaution.

"Ugh......"

After closing the "Book of Potions" forcefully, Lily's cute little face wrinkled up and she sighed in frustration.

Tired.

"There are still too few books brought back." Lily muttered in a low voice: "Why are werewolves so difficult to deal with? There is not even a restraining potion."

"But female ghosts have laughter potions specially used to deal with them...it's really strange."

She turned over weakly, lying on her back and staring at the ceiling with small animal stickers, and let out a long "Ah——" sound in her mouth.

Penny, who was sitting by the window, waved her hands twice without looking back, which meant asking Lily to be quiet.

"Huh...what's there to peek at?"

Lily muttered dissatisfied: "I'm just a wizard. If I didn't have traces on my body, I could use magic at home."

"Shhhhhh!" Petunia stopped again, and then continued to peek cautiously.

Lily pursed her lips unwillingly, stroking her little hands around her side, and finally picked up a book, which was "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them".

It's still the werewolf chapter.

Lily simply lay there like this and read it over and over again countless times.

[Werewolves, sometimes called werewolves, are humans who can transform into wolf form when the full moon rises.This condition is caused by an infection called lycanthropy, and there is currently no cure for lycanthropy. 】

Lily stared at the last sentence angrily, as if it would disappear if she stared at it long enough.

But then she was defeated again.

The last sentence did not disappear, Lily's eyes were the first to start getting sore.

"It can't be completely cured... Huh!" Lily vented her anger. She knocked on the bed twice, and then she continued reading with her mouth pursed.

[If left untreated, the monthly transformation process of a werewolf will be very painful, and the werewolf will remain pale and weak for several days afterward. 】

[If there are no humans nearby who can attack, and there are no other animals around, then the werewolf will attack itself in desperation. 】

Lily stared at these two paragraphs repeatedly.

Although she didn't learn werewolf knowledge for a long time, Lily always felt something strange in her heart.

Although she couldn't remember exactly when the full moon was every month, she remembered that almost every month, a student from the same college as her would ask for leave.

Moreover, the student's face is almost always pale, as white as a piece of paper, and his body is unbelievably thin.

It was hard for Lily not to notice something special about this student.

Because he is a friend of James and Sirius, and always gets together with them and a guy named Peter, just like her, Callan, and Snape.

And the other person was the only guy in the small group whom Lily didn't find disgusting.

This is already rare. There are only four people in James's small group, and he and Sirius make up half of them. Peter always has no sense of existence and is just a follower.

Lily thought about that special guy again.

Remus Lupin.

He...could he also be a werewolf...

"Lily! Lily!"

The sudden hurried cry startled Lily, and the dropped book almost hit her face.

"What are you doing, Petunia." Lily stood up with difficulty and looked over with green eyes.

But Penny had already walked back satisfied.

"It's late, it's over." She said playfully, as if she had completed some task.

"There was a sudden whirlwind in the old man's yard just now, and all the snow was swept away." Petunia described vividly: "The magic is really amazing."

Lily curled her lips disdainfully: "It's just a simple cleaning spell, even I can use it."

Penny deliberately made her angry: "Then I didn't see you helping mom with housework, either?"

"Trace silk! Trace silk!" Lily shouted angrily: "How many times do I have to tell you before you understand that I have trace silk on my body? The Ministry of Magic does not allow underage wizards to perform magic at home. Those days during the holidays It’s not like you haven’t seen a warning letter before.”

During the vacation at the end of her first year, Lily lived in Hogsmeade for too long and forgot that she had left the magical community. As a result, she performed magic many times at home, and was finally warned by a letter from the Ministry of Magic. Her parents were so frightened that they even prepared to move overnight.

Fortunately, there was only a warning and there was no big trouble.

"Hehe, of course I know." Petunia said with a smile. After seeing Lily turning her head and ignoring her, Petunia quickly grabbed a handful of magic snacks on the bedside and stuffed them into Lily's arms.

"Okay, don't be angry."

She jumped onto the bed, hugged Lily tightly, and hugged the sleeping Barian beside her.

Lily was a little speechless. She looked at the licorice wand, chocolate frog and Bibi's multi-flavored beans that were forcefully pushed over her: "These are the ones I bought for you."

"Hehe." Penny just laughed playfully. She held Barian in both hands and kept trying to throw her up, making "oh, oh" sounds from her mouth from time to time.

Barian quietly opened her eyes, then immediately closed them again, continuing to pretend to be sleepy.As long as it stays like this for a while, Penny will soon stop annoying it. This is the experience it has learned long ago.

Lily watched the scene of Petunia playing with Barian in confusion, and finally couldn't help laughing.

very nice.

She couldn't help but think.

so good.

Although she was the only one selected to attend Hogwarts, the lingering conflicts between the sisters were resolved by Karan and Principal Dumbledore one after another, which made her feel equally happy even after returning home. Instead of having to worry about anything, it only made Penny resentful.

"That's great......"

She couldn't help but whispered, which made both Petunia and Barian start to look at her with four eyes in confusion.

"What did you just say?" Penny asked curiously.

"Meow." Barian called softly.

"nothing!"

She didn't know why, but Lily was a little panicked for no reason. She unscrewed the jar filled with Bibi's multi-flavor beans and accidentally spilled them all over the bed.

"Ouch!" Petunia yelled, "Look at you!"

The two had no choice but to start picking them up one by one. After picking them up, they started eating them one by one.

"Ice cream flavor."

"Vanilla."

"chocolate flavor."

"Well....."

"What's wrong? What does it smell like?"

"Give you half a pill."

There was a soft chewing sound.

"Bah! It's so bitter!"

"hey-hey."

So the two started chasing each other in the house again. Barian watched this scene calmly. She found a comfortable position to lie down and yawned lazily.

At this time, a fierce sound of banging on the window attracted their attention.

Penny was stunned for a moment, rolled her eyes, and then immediately walked to the window and opened the curtains.

After seeing the figure appear, Weier suddenly became more cheerful. It proudly displayed the envelope held in its paws and raised its head, as if asking for credit.

Lily felt something was wrong when she saw Petunia's dazed look. She suddenly knocked Petunia aside, put Wei'er in quickly, and then quickly took the envelope into her hand.

"Whose letter is it from?" Petunia asked pretendingly, her eyes still glancing towards Lily.

Lily clenched the envelope angrily, her eyes full of hatred.

"I'm going back to my room!"

She said loudly on purpose, without giving Penny the slightest chance to save her, and angrily returned to her room.

"Really... I don't even believe "Karan Defense Technique", what else can I do!"

Lily frowned and sat at the table.

"I'm furious!"

She stared at the signature on the envelope, wishing she could identify this person by name and beat him up.

Severus Snape.

And if he knew Lily's thoughts, he would definitely be glad that this letter was not a door key [Karan Sangster. 】
