345 Raider, foreseeing the future, James is different

Karan did sneak out.

When Mr. Fremont opened the door to Linfred's former residence, Karan had secretly memorized the order of the potion patterns, and planned to go there to take a closer look after everyone was asleep - Karan had always He has not forgotten the reason why he agreed to help find the Cat Leopard - because this is Stinchcombe, where the potion pioneer Linfred once lived, and he is also related to the legendary Jumping Cauldron, which is A fairy tale based on Linfred.

Even though it's just a fairy tale, Karan wants to know if the jumping cauldron really exists.

After all, the Deathly Hallows in the story of the three brothers are real, not to mention that Callan has personally witnessed the abilities of even more unusual crowns.

But Karan didn't expect to hear a strange noise shortly after he slipped out of the bedroom, and then heard an explosion in front of the bedroom door of James and the others.

The distribution of bedrooms in Potter Manor is not that close, but it is not so close that the adults will not notice anything, and they did not even go to the children's bedrooms to check - the only reason Karan can think of is Cat Leopard, then It is a magical animal that the residents of the village have seen with their own eyes.

Perhaps Mr. Newt and Mr. Fleamont had been successfully hypnotized by Cat Leopard, and they might have put up a little resistance before that.

After whispering their complete guesses to Steve under the invisibility cloak, James and the others in the bedroom finally carefully followed the two of them. Although they were a little reluctant, they still followed Karan's instructions and put on their clothes. James' Deathly Hallows Invisibility Cloak, and it seems that Kreacher is also in it.

The two parties walked in the silent corridor one after the other. They were trying their best to avoid making any noise, lest they be discovered by the cat and leopard hiding somewhere.

Under the dim moonlight, everything became suspicious, and even the hangings on the walls began to look sneaky. James frowned tightly, thinking that he must tidy up the manor the next day. , and he already disliked this manor more and more, so he might as well return to his home in Godric's Hollow.

The two people in front soon saw Mr. Fremont's bedroom door, and Steve suddenly felt a thump in his heart - the door was ajar, as if something had sneaked in quietly.

Karan clenched the ash wand in his hand. Under Steve's horrified gaze, he gently opened the door through the invisibility cloak and clearly saw the situation in the bedroom - the placement of the items did not appear to be too big. Change, but Mr. Fleamont lay down from the bed to the floor, and his wand fell to the side.

"Don't make a sound!"

Karan quickly reminded him before James, who ran out of the invisibility cloak behind him, shouted.

After carefully confirming that Cat Leopard was not in the bedroom, Karan also stepped out of the invisibility cloak. He took out a small bottle of potion from his pocket and gently dropped it into Mr. Fremont's mouth.

"This is a sobering potion." After catching a glimpse of the panic on James's face, Karan explained in a low voice: "This potion is specially prepared to relieve Cat Leopard's hypnosis, and it can also help Mr. Fremont wake up as soon as possible. come over."

This was even good news for James - he did not wonder why the potion was carried by Karan, but was secretly glad that the worst case did not happen.

The potion flowed smoothly into the mouth of the unconscious Mr. Fremont. Karan looked at the wand aside while waiting silently - it seemed that the original abnormal sound was caused by Mr. Fremont's resistance.

But what exactly is Cat Leopard doing?Why does it attack people in the manor?Could it be that Cat Leopard regarded them as uninvited guests and instead took Potter Manor as his own?After all, Mr. Fremont hasn't been here for a long time...

"My dad...why hasn't he woke up yet?" Worrying about his father far more than he was dissatisfied with Karan, James used his fingers to detect Mr. Fremont's breath to confirm that his father was indeed still alive. Later, he asked Karan: "Does it take such a long time for the sobriety potion to work?"

After slowly recovering from his thoughts, Karan's face looked much more solemn.

"No need." He whispered: "At most, a few seconds will be enough."

There was a brief silence.

The children gathered together were staring at Karan in confusion, but then Steve immediately became panicked.

"Will my father become like this?" he asked, grabbing Karan's arm.

Karan didn't answer. He silently put on the invisibility cloak again, and then quickly led Steve out of Mr. Fleamont's bedroom.

"It's not just the cat and leopard..." Regulus, who was still in the bedroom, finally reacted: "It's definitely not just the cat and leopard that attacked Mr. Fremont, but something else. Otherwise, if he were sober, The potion will not have any effect..."

"It's you!" Sirius suddenly stared at Kreacher fiercely: "Apart from us, you are the only one who knows that Regulus and I are here - did those old stubborn men order you to do this?"

Kreacher was so frightened that he quickly took several steps back and accidentally fell to the floor. His bat-like ears drooped, and his big light bulb-like eyes were full of fear.

At this time, Regulus stood up immediately and stared at Sirius with an unhappy expression: "What are you making up again? Why did your parents attack Mr. Fleamont? James, don't listen to his nonsense, little one." Sirius is deliberately trying to embarrass Kreacher, he can never be the murderer."

James stood up slowly. He did not look at Regulus, but was still staring closely at his father.

"We'll find out what's going on in a while." He said through gritted teeth, giving Kreacher a fierce look as well.

Regulus's heart suddenly went cold. His face was tense, but he refused to push Kreacher out who was hiding behind him.

"Young Master..." Kreacher whimpered, looking extremely pitiful.

Regulus did not look back, he stared at James and Sirius in front of him.

"Then just wait and see," he said.

On the other side, Karan and Steve, who were under the invisibility cloak, finally arrived at Mr. Newt's bedroom door - the half-open door was in the same situation as Mr. Fremont's bedroom.

Although he had been mentally prepared, Steve almost couldn't help but rushed in.

"Don't worry." Karan whispered comfortingly.

He grabbed Steve's arm tightly to prevent Steve from doing anything rash, and then gently pushed the door open again.

The layout of this bedroom was more regular than that of Mr. Fleamont's. Both of them could vaguely see Mr. Newt lying peacefully on the bed, his chest still rising and falling gently.

But Steve was not happy at all - just like Karan said, it was weird enough that Mr. Newt hadn't gotten up yet after hearing such a loud noise.

The two walked to Mr. Newt's bedside. Steve gently shook the other person's body. After finding that it had no effect, Callan dropped the sobriety potion into Mr. Newt's mouth.

Still has no effect.

Mr. Newt was still asleep and showed no signs of waking up.

"It's so bad..." Karan murmured under his breath.

In panic, Steve had no choice but to look to Karan for help, but Karan didn't know what to do. This was a Muggle village and there was no powerful pharmacist.And there are cats and leopards lurking somewhere...

At this time, Karan suddenly heard a rustling of footsteps. As soon as he raised his wand, he heard Steve shouting in surprise: "Dougal? Why are you here?"

A white-haired animal that looked like an ape-man quietly appeared in the air - it was the invisible beast Dougal. It saw the arrival of the two with its own eyes, and then emerged from its invisibility.

Dougal grabbed Steve tightly as soon as he appeared, and Karan quickly asked: "Does it know something? Ask him quickly."

Before Steve could ask, Dougal seemed to understand Karan's doubts. He leaned his head towards Steve's ear and whispered something. Steve explained with confusion: "Really?" It was the leopard cat, and it attacked my father, hypnotically. Dugor had foreseen this in advance, but when it came out of the suitcase it was too late and had to hide quietly."

Anticipate in advance?

Karan suddenly thought of another ability of the invisible beast - premonition of the future.

"Where is the cat and leopard?" Karan asked immediately: "Still in the manor - um -"

Karan's mouth was suddenly covered by Dugal, and then the other party immediately put the invisibility cloak on the two of them. Then he disappeared again outside the invisibility cloak and became invisible.

Under the moonlight, the suitcase leaning on the floor suddenly heard two clicks. Then the suitcase was opened silently, and a tall figure gradually walked out of it, almost like a giant.

It was a leopard walking upright.

Its fur is black, its steps are brisk and silent, and its long tail is raised behind it, like an agile assassin.

After getting out of the suitcase, the black cat leopard looked back at the suitcase. Its huge head was slightly tilted, as if it was confused.

One of Karan's hands had already been forcefully covering Steve's mouth. He vaguely guessed that it might be Dougal's fault that he secretly re-locked the suitcase after leaving it. Unfortunately, this did not happen. There was no success in stopping the Cat Leopard, and the other magical animals carried by Mr. Newt should also have been hypnotized - Karan did not smell any blood, which is the only good news.

Under Steve's horrified gaze, the giant cat and leopard quietly walked towards the bedroom door. The widening arc attracted the cat and leopard's attention, but fortunately, it did not stay for too long before quietly leaving.

The cat and leopard didn't make a sound during the whole process, which was really unbelievable. If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, it would be hard for Karan to imagine that the cat and leopard had actually come.

Steve's forehead was already covered with cold sweat, and even the pajamas behind him were wet. After waiting for a while, Karan released his palms.

"Huh..." Steve gasped, shaking, and he asked feebly and fearfully: "Karan..."

"Shh." Karan immediately stopped Steve's words. He grabbed Steve's arm and at the same time pulled Dougal, who had reappeared, under the invisibility cloak.

"Follow me." He whispered: "Leave the bedroom first."

Although he was puzzled by Karan's actions, Steve still followed him blankly, and Dougal also firmly grasped one of Steve's arms.

The two people and the beast left the bedroom and returned to the dark and silent corridor. They vaguely saw the cat and leopard staying in front of Mr. Fleamont's bedroom door for a while - the door there was also enlarged. Fortunately, it seemed that James and the others had already put on their invisibility cloaks, so they were not discovered by the other party.

Then what Karan was worried about happened. He didn't stop when he saw the cat and leopard, but continued quietly along the corridor to other bedrooms. The cat and leopard's eyes have the ability of Legilimency. After attacking Mr. Newt and Mr. Freemont, it will definitely know that there are several other children in the manor.

"Follow me." Karan said quickly. He first returned to the bedroom and hid Mr. Newt's body in the suitcase as quietly as possible. Then he picked up the suitcase and took Steve to Fremont's bedroom. go.

"Hide the unconscious adults first." Karan whispered at the same time: "Then maybe we have to leave the manor quickly."

After Cat Leopard discovered that several children were not in the bedroom, it was difficult for Karan to guarantee what would happen.Coupled with this inexplicable attack and the coma of Mr. Newt, the magizoologist, he had no intention of dealing with the cat leopard.

At this moment, the first thing that should be ensured is the safety of everyone. This is more important than anything else.

On the other side, in Mr. Fremont's bedroom, James and the others originally planned to continue to see what was happening at Mr. Newt's place after the confrontation, but fortunately, they saw a star with their own eyes as soon as they put on the invisibility cloak again. The huge leopard head peered into the bedroom - until then they hadn't even heard a sound.

"Feel sorry."

After Cat Leopard left, James subconsciously said that he finally understood that he had blamed the wrong person: "Regulus...and Kreacher, right? I'm sorry, I shouldn't doubt you, let alone You should doubt your friends..."

"You actually apologized to a house elf?" To Regulus, this seemed to be more important than the apology he received, and even more shocking than the huge leopard head.

Kreacher slowly widened his eyes, the fear in his eyes changed completely, and he stared at James in shock - this was the respect and love he had never received from Sirius.

James shrugged his shoulders indifferently. This didn't seem to be a rare thing for him - if necessary, he would also apologize to Peter among the predators, even if Peter usually had the least sense of existence.

Sirius looked like he didn't care about Kreacher's feelings. Even though it was obvious that he had wrongly blamed Kreacher, he still didn't care.

It was just rare that there was some hesitation in Sirius's eyes when he glanced at Regulus.

Regulus immediately noticed Sirius's bad attitude towards Kreacher. He didn't need his brother's apology at all, and would rather see Sirius apologize to Kreacher, even if it was just a word of concern.

So he snorted dissatisfiedly.

Sirius's face suddenly became a little ugly, the hesitation in his eyes disappeared, and he turned his head and snorted.

James watched the tit-for-tat confrontation between the two brothers with a headache. He really didn't want to favor anyone. Otherwise, he wouldn't have just tried to persuade them fairly at the beginning, allowing them to gradually resolve the conflict after a few days.

Just as a new confrontation began, they suddenly heard a small call: "Regulus?"

It was Karan's voice.

Regulus quietly revealed his head from the invisibility cloak, and Karan simply walked out of the invisibility cloak. Steve and Dougal guarded the door to avoid being discovered by the returning Cat Leopard.

Then Karan told his guess again, and at the same time quickly put Mr. Fleamont's body into Mr. Newt's suitcase.

James didn't stop him, he just stared closely at the suitcase that Karan then closed, as if he thought it would be safer to put it on him.

But Karan didn't hand over the suitcase. There were many unconscious magical animals inside, and he couldn't take any risks.

"Okay, let's go." Karan turned to look at James, who was still staring at him closely: "If you don't want to make Lady Euphemia too sad because you are also killed."

The third time!

James secretly clenched his fists. This was the third time that Karan mentioned his mother in front of him. He really wished that he had not eaten that ice cream in Diagon Alley, otherwise Karan would not have been blamed for Euphemia. He repeatedly mentioned this matter with concern, but it was difficult for him to refute anything...

In the end, James had no choice but to get back into the invisibility cloak, and Karan had already thought of a way to escape - Kreacher, he is a house elf who is born with the powerful ability to disapparate, allowing him to These people were taken away one by one, but this method made too much noise, so they could only be used after they were far away from Potter Manor, so as not to attract the attention of Cat Leopard.

In addition, it is not known whether the Blacks will welcome these guests - at least Karan himself will not be able to stay for long. He is a Muggle-born, a being that is spurned by the ever-pure Black family, and may even force him to do so. Regulus breaks off relations with himself...

"Roar--"

At this time, Cat Leopard suddenly let out a low roar from nowhere. Steve, who looked nervous, immediately explained: "Cat Leopard has already checked Regulus's bedroom and is now in our bedroom."

"Are you angry..." Karan had already foreseen how angry Cat Leopard would be after discovering something was wrong twice in a row - the children were all gone.

"Then let's hurry up—"

Once again, before Karan could finish his words, Dougal's eyes flashed with a blue light for no apparent reason - this was a sign that the invisible beast had a premonition of the future.

Regardless of whether the people came back to their senses, it suddenly became invisible, then got out of the invisibility cloak, pulled both sides of the corridor with its hands, and dragged them back to Mr. Fremont's bedroom.

In the next second - a dark figure flew past the corridor like lightning - the difference was just this second, and several children were almost hit by the cat and leopard!

"What's going on?" Karan frowned and asked, "Do you understand why Cat Leopard was roaring just now?"

Cat Leopard's behavior was really strange - fortunately, it did not go back to Mr. Fremont's bedroom to check again, but Karan still couldn't help but guess that Cat Leopard was searching for him and the others.

"I don't quite understand..." Steve explained hesitantly: "But I can feel that the cat and leopard's roar is not directed at us. It has nothing to do with the children disappearing from the bedroom..."

"Not us?" Karan suddenly became more confused: "Then what exactly is it looking for..."

Gradually, Karan's eyes suddenly widened.

This is Potter Manor, and Cat Leopard has just read Mr. Fleamont’s memory, plus the reason why he agreed to come here...

At this time, there was another clicking sound from somewhere in the manor house, followed by the sound of the heavy door opening.

"The sound came from the second floor."

James, who was already familiar with the layout of the mansion, said suddenly.

"Cat Leopard went to Linfred's former residence!"
