323 Newcomer and Larry

323 Newcomer and Larry

There was an unprecedented quarrel in the potion preparation room.

"You still say you have no plan? Then what are you doing in the Forbidden Forest? Professor Prewett might still be there!"

"Of course they will be there, otherwise it will be too late by the time the secret passage is blocked. That basilisk sheds its skin is very important! As for you, when did you start planning to find someone to join us? Are you not afraid that my ideas will scare others? Already?"

"It's better to be scared. Then I'll be more confident about finding Mary, and Petunia too!"

"Penny? What does this have to do with Petunia? Can you still bring her to Hogwarts? This should be considered a violation of the confidentiality law, right?"

Karan took a breath and looked at the three people standing next to him with uncertain eyes.

Steve and Snape were silent and did not speak. Only Guspar nodded: "This is indeed a violation of the law of confidentiality. Muggles are not allowed to know the existence of the magical world. Relatives of wizards can know part of the content, but this does not Not including coming to Hogwarts in person."

Steve and Snape lowered their heads in shame. Gaspard silently pushed up his glasses and motioned for them to continue.

Lily puffed up her cheeks angrily. This mistake put her at a disadvantage in the argument.

Callan breathed a sigh of relief slowly, he was really afraid that Lily would take Petunia to Hogwarts.

The quarrel started again.

This time not only Lily and Callan were affected, but Snape was also affected - because he also tracked Pandora and Lovegood with Lily.

Karan stared at him and sneered. Snape's head was so low that it almost sunk into his chest. Lily stepped forward and said, "Why are you embarrassing him? Just come at me!"

So Karan started to stare at Lily and sneer, and Lily looked at him with disgust on her face.

Gespard and Steve stared at this strange scene.

"What is Karan doing?" Steve asked in confusion.

Gaspard reached up and pushed up his glasses.

"Well..." he said, "Probably he is buying time. He hasn't figured out how to deal with Lily's opinions yet."

Lily heard Gaspard's words in the small space. She was stunned for a moment and turned her head to look.

The moment she looked away, Karan's sneer suddenly stopped.

Lily turned her head to look at Karan again, but suddenly she saw his expression changed - he looked embarrassed and bitter, looking like he had gone through many vicissitudes of life, which made people feel heartbroken.

"Alas..." Karan's face changed in a second and he sighed softly.

"Okay then," he said.

"Just listen to you."

Lily stared at Karan with strange eyes, but she didn't feel distressed at all.

"Do you think I'm blind?" she asked directly: "Do you think I will feel guilty?"

Karan didn't speak, but his expression became more sad, like an old father who suddenly realized that his child had grown up and was no longer under his control.

Lily frowned in confusion. She walked towards the entrance of the secret passage in small steps, turning back three times every step, but she could always see Karan still staring at her with a sad expression, and sighing from time to time.

Have you gone too far?

Lily finally felt something was wrong. This was the first time she had seen Karan look like this.

Is this the real Karan?Is it just that he has been hiding it well before?

In doubt, Lily left the secret passage.

And just after she left, Karan immediately returned to his expressionless look.

Snape looked at this scene in shock - Karan's change of expression in one second was more severe than he imagined, and even he himself had the same thoughts as Lily.

Callan glared at Snape fiercely, as if blaming him for his betrayal, then he deliberately let Snape go far away, and then turned to look at Steve.

"You really don't want to go?" he asked.

Steve immediately shook his head, like a rattle, and it seemed that this was not the first time he had responded like this.

Gaspard pushed up his glasses: "Then we can only call Lily. Only she can deal with Larry."

Karan nodded, and he and Guspard stared at Steve with disgust, as if to put pressure on him.

Steve didn't panic at all. He shook his head from side to side faster. Snape in the distance thought the two were inflicting some kind of torture on him, which made him worry about his situation and silently look forward to it. Ask Lily to come back quickly.

After a while, Lily finally came back.

She also brought back two others.

Pandora hugged one of her arms tightly, almost pressing against her body, with an expression of joy and happiness on her face.

Lovegood, who was behind the two of them, looked here and there, and kept saying, "Wow, is this the legendary secret passage?"

"Wow, you guys have turned this place into a secret base?"

"Wow, there are so many candles, how do they fly?"

"Wow......"

The three of them finally entered the potion preparation room. Lovegood was full of curiosity about everything, while Pandora followed Lily closely.

Kahlan returned to his sad expression at some point, and Snape was even more shocked. He opened his mouth and wanted to tell the truth, but was interrupted by a sudden flash of light.

"Wow!" Lovegood stared at Guspard, he was surprised: "Lighting glasses?"

Karan had no problem with Pandora and Lovegood. Even if he brought them to the potion preparation room, it wouldn't matter. He trusted these two just like he did with Regulus.

It's just that Pandora's reaction was a bit beyond Karan's expectations - she didn't make a fuss about everything in the potion preparation room like Lovegood, but stared straight at Karan from the moment she entered. orchid.

"He seems to be pretending." Pandora suddenly leaned close to Lily's ear and said, "Be careful later."

Lily blinked in confusion, and rubbed her ears that felt uncomfortable due to the warm air.

After a while, she understood why Pandora said this.

"What did you say?" Lily yelled strangely, "I want to go to the secret room with you too?"

Lily just learned about this from Karan. She originally thought that she would not be found.

"You have to be careful about Larry." Karan said helplessly: "It has appeared at the entrance once, who knows if it will appear a second time."

This was really Karan's helpless choice. The original choice was Steve's - because he had the ability to communicate with magical animals, but he was unwilling to go back at all. The basilisks in the sky disturbed his young heart. Creates great shadows, and he doesn't like dark creatures.

Fortunately, the person who controlled the broom was Guspard, otherwise it would be uncertain whether Karan could be rescued.

The only remaining candidate seemed to be Lily. Larry liked her very much and didn't even say anything about meeting the three of them.

And Larry is also a unicorn. He likes the approach of kind girls, but does not want to come into contact with boys.Even if Steve really goes, he may not be able to convince Larry.

Pandora blinked playfully. In order to prevent her from continuing to cause trouble, Karan quickly took out the Marauder's Map and let her study it by herself.

In addition, Karan also emphasized the requirement not to experiment at will, so as not to cause any trouble.

This is also a good thing. There are 142 stairs in total, which is really too many. One more person can give you more confidence.

Lily finally agreed to Karan's request. She couldn't imagine what Karan would do if she really met Larry in her absence. It was scary just to think about it. If she followed, the situation might be different. It can be better.

"Chamber of Secrets?" Lovegood asked with interest, "Are you talking about Slytherin's Chamber of Secrets?"

He seemed to want to go, but Karan refused.

With Steve's active comfort, Lovegood was finally diverted by Wolf.

Snape introduced the functions of the Marauder's Map to Pandora under Karan's instructions.

"The four academies are finally gathered."

Lily said in an incomprehensible tone, as if even she herself felt weird about this scene.

"Then when will we go to the secret room?" she asked then.

Karan reached for Steve's suitcase.

"Tonight," he said.

Naturally, the sooner the better, only in this way can we enter the secret room before the Prewett brothers completely seal the secret passage.And the Prewett brothers couldn't help but sleep. Night was the best opportunity.

In addition to Karan and Lily, they were also accompanied by Gaspard. He had to ensure that the basilisk's shed skin was not damaged, otherwise it might affect the subsequent experiments - whether it was making a second piece of parchment, Or for other purposes.

As for Steve's suitcase, it was used to hold molted skins. Karan's pockets were not that big, and Wolf also walked out of the suitcase early.

After everything was ready, the three of them hid under the invisibility cloak and left the potion preparation room.

"Is that an invisibility cloak?" Lovegood asked enviously, still gently tracing Wolf's hair with his palms.

Steve stood up proudly: "Me too!"

Pandora on the other side carefully stared at the changes in the black line on the map, while Snape stared closely at Pandora.

His thoughts were much darker than Karan's, and he seemed to be worried that the other party would take the map away.

Pandora laughed twice, glanced sideways at Snape, and suddenly asked in a low voice: "Do you like Lily?"

Snape was stunned, and his face turned red inexplicably the next second.

"How... how is it possible?" In front of unfamiliar people, he subconsciously retorted.

Pandora suddenly smiled even more happily.

At this moment, on the playground outside the castle, Karan whispered inexplicably: "Oh, I need to prepare two more chairs."

Lily glanced sideways at him, thinking he was blaming herself for causing him trouble.

But Gaspard on the other side responded: "I have a hunch that you will have to prepare more chairs in the future, and maybe even two more tables. By the way, you will also need to expand the potion preparation room in the secret passage. Space."

Lily stared at the two of them without knowing why, feeling a little confused in her heart - how could she just find someone to join them?

Only Karan nodded silently - he accepted Pandora and Lovegood too easily, which is why Gaspard said these words.

And he also felt inexplicably that this might be just the beginning.

Lily's eyes became more and more confused. She couldn't understand the way the two communicated, but she was silently wary in her heart - as expected, it was Karan who was being led astray by Gesper!Be careful with this guy in the future!

Under the faint silver light, the three of them passed by the brightly lit Hagrid's hut, and happened to encounter Mr. Newt walking out of it, and Hagrid had a grateful expression on his face.

"What are they doing?" Lily asked, staring at Mr. Newt's back.

"Maybe Tooth is sick again?" Karan was also a little confused - Steve didn't know what was in Mr. Newt's suitcase until now, and they didn't know Mr. Newt came to Hogwarts either. The purpose - judging from his experience when he was young, Dumbledore should give him some tasks.

But they still didn't know what the mission was, and Steve couldn't ask anything useful.

But that wasn't what they should be concerned about tonight. It didn't take long for the three of them to sneak into the Forbidden Forest quietly.

Still following a familiar path, the three of them passed by the habitat of the Night Chiron, then the clearing where Larry was injured, and the Forbidden Lake, and finally headed towards the depression.

The further Lily walked, the stranger she felt: "Are we too familiar with the Forbidden Forest?"

Gaspard's expression remained normal, and he didn't think this was a bad thing.

Karan dealt with it with a gentle smile. They did come to the Forbidden Forest a lot, especially when they were looking for the depression where the Acromantula lived last semester. Karan even came to the Forbidden Forest many times.

However, to be on the safe side, they never deviated from this familiar path to avoid encountering things they shouldn't encounter - such as trolls, vampires, or werewolves.

"Maybe it's not familiar enough." Gaspard said suddenly. He and Karan thought of the same place - the Forbidden Forest is so big, they both want to see it.

Lily stared at Gespard with an even weirder look - she was now [-]% sure that it was Karan who was being led astray by Gespard!He can't let Lovegood and Pandora get close to him!Oh, and Snape!

As for Steve…

This was out of Lily's control. He lived with Guspard every day. He could only hope that he would be happy.

Gaspard glanced sideways at Lily, wondering why she kept staring at him. Could it be that he wanted to steal the gold medal that he had not yet obtained?

Another competitor?

Karan silently observed the fight between the two - what does this mean? "Karan's Defense" and "Karan's Observation Diary" are finally going to break up?

In silence, the three of them finally gradually approached the depression. From a distance, they saw the snow-white figure guarding the entrance of the cave - Larry the Unicorn.

As expected by Karan, it really stood guard at the entrance of the cave.

Lily became nervous inexplicably. She still remembered the fate of the last magical animal guarding the entrance of the cave - Voldemort killed the Chimaira beast Kiki with his own hands.

She glanced at Karan quietly and found that Karan was also turning to look at her.

"Why do you look at me like this?" Karan asked with a strange expression: "It's your turn now. Larry won't like us two boys."

Lily felt inexplicably relieved - fortunately, Karan did not really become the Dark Lord.

"What weird things are you thinking about again?" Karan urged: "If it's later, the fat lady will fall asleep. What if you can't go back to the dormitory?"

Lily hummed twice, looking at Larry in the distance with some hesitation in her eyes.

Suddenly, while Karan was not paying attention, she lifted the invisibility cloak above the heads of the three of them. Larry immediately noticed something unusual here and turned his head to look over.

"You are planning to sneak in, right?" Lily said, "Don't even think about asking me to help you deceive Larry. I can't bear to deceive a unicorn."

This was indeed Karan and Gaspard's plan - while Lily attracted Larry's attention, the two sneaked into the hole of the secret passage under the invisibility cloak.

Gaspard gave Karan a look that clearly meant: "Look, you should have listened to me and brought Steve here by force."

Karan shook his head and sighed softly: "Then what are you going to do? Now Larry has seen us."

"Unicorns are different." Lily said confidently: "They are pure creatures that can see the darkness in people's hearts and must be treated with sincerity."

She said and walked out of the bushes. Karan and Gaspard looked at each other silently and had no choice but to follow her out together.

Larry seemed to recognize the aggrieved and sad little girl. It didn't show any uneasiness, it just waited calmly, its beautiful horn filled with light.

Lily walked the last short distance alone. She tentatively stretched out a palm. After looking at her for a while, Larry silently lowered his head and rubbed his neck.

"No problem." Lily understood. She turned around and smiled: "You can go in now."

"Really?" Karan asked in confusion, and Gespard didn't understand what happened.

"Of course it's true." Lily had already hugged Larry's neck and started playing with it: "I can see the thoughts in Larry's eyes. You go back quickly, I will help you guard here."

Karan and Gaspard walked over without knowing why, and Larry really didn't stop them.

But when Karan passed by, Larry suddenly turned his head and looked at him.

"take it easy."

Karan immediately comforted her, saying that he seemed to understand how Lily felt - in Larry's eyes, he did not read any malice or vigilance.

The unicorn's natural habits seemed to have failed with Karan. Larry deliberately took a few steps closer to him and lowered his head.

Karan raised a hand while the two were looking at him, and gently rubbed Larry's face twice.

Well, it's as good as Wolf's, but poor Barian is still in last place.

"Maybe it's because of the female ghost."

Lily, who was hanging on her neck, guessed: "You did a lot of work in that matter, which is equivalent to saving Larry in disguise."

The female ghost has now been imprisoned in the Forbidden Lake ruins again, and she cannot reappear in the Forbidden Forest after the entrance disappears.Although this is somewhat inconsistent with Lily's memory - because she did not know about the ruins, Karan did save Larry, as well as many other animals in the Forbidden Forest.

"maybe."

Karan's tone was still uncertain.

After looking at Larry silently for a while, he silently retracted his palm and jumped into the hole leading to the secret room with Gaspard.
