354 Photos and letters
Callan didn't know that Principal Dumbledore actually knew about the existence of the Forbidden One, and he didn't expect that the principal had already identified himself as a descendant of Antioch.
But he never gave up contacting Meadows, but unfortunately there was still no response from the magic gold coin.
"Are you still at Nick Flamel's house? It seems that the magic imprint on Meadows is more serious than imagined. Regarding her being a descendant of Antioch, we can only find out later."
Now Karan is sitting on the sofa in the living room at home. He can't wait to know more news related to Antioch - whether it's blood magic or the Elder Wand, he wants to know.
Meadows once told him personally that she was a descendant of Antioch. For this reason, she also named Blue Phoenix Antioch. However, she never believed in the existence of the Elder Wand, thinking it was just a fairy tale. Things that are only in books.
Karan wants to know how Meadows learned that he is a descendant of Antioch - this is not something that can be judged easily. Karan himself also saw Antioch in distant memory scenes. Only the face of Oak dared to make such a judgment.
At this time, there was a shout from the open suitcase at Karan's feet.
"What are you whispering about secretly? Come here soon, or you won't be able to get there if it's too late."
"It's here!"
Karan opened his pocket and let the magic gold coins rolling in the air fall inside. Then he jumped up from the sofa, jumped directly onto the suitcase steps, and walked up and down to the workroom.
Snape was staring closely at the jumping cauldron on the Gubler Fairy Fire. In his hand was a pile of unwrapped snacks - Bubble Super Bubble Gum, Explosive Sandwich Gummies, Zizi Bee Gummies, Ice rats, jelly slugs, and a huge bucket of cockroach skewers.
"Anything can be used as a herbal ingredient. This is much more interesting than spending a lot of effort to create a magic potion recipe..."
Under the dim light of the fire, Snape let out a low and infiltrating laugh.
He fell in love with this product of the Dark Ages after using the jumping cauldron for the first time - in Snape's words, the infinite possibilities are more interesting than black magic and more worthy of study.
Although Karan didn't understand what was so interesting about black magic, he clearly saw that the toad Kinch on the workbench had a swollen belly, and every time it croaked, it would spit out a bubble, which sometimes contained Flames, sometimes bursting snowflakes.
"You came."
Snape turned to look at Callan. He picked up a cup of bubbling purple potion and handed it to him.
"Brand new formula, give it a try."
Karan stared at the rising bubbles, and he hesitantly moved his gaze to Wolf at the door of the workshop.
Wolf, whose hair changed from silver to wavy dark blue at some point, turned his head. He didn't even give him a look, and walked back into the bamboo forest with an anger.
"Uh...okay then."
Karan was really embarrassed to trouble Wolf again. He pinched his nose and drank the potion in the cup in one gulp under Snape's gaze.
Crackling sparks suddenly appeared from Karan's body. He opened his mouth and sprayed a pillar of flame at the stairs. Then the flames condensed together again, spreading out and blooming in the room, creating a beautiful firework.
"Wow." Snape nodded with satisfaction: "Now Honeydukes will have a competitor. How does the new snack recipe taste?"
"so spicy!"
Karan stuck out his tongue hard, sparks still rising from his mouth.
"What did you put in there?" he asked, coughing.
Snape picked up an empty snack bag, and Callan bent down to examine it carefully.
"Exploding jelly beans? All of them?!" he shouted angrily.
Seeing that the situation was not going well, Snape quickly handed over a glass of pumpkin juice, and then quietly stepped back several steps, planning to join Wolf at any time.
Fortunately, Karan didn't worry too much at this time. Now the two of them only use magic snacks to experiment with the jumping cauldron. They haven't dared to actually use the magic potion ingredients, otherwise Karan wouldn't drink that strange cup. Weird potion.
"Is one toad too little?"
After moistening his throat, Karan stared at Jin Qi who was still blowing bubbles and asked: "In the future, we will try to prepare more advanced potions, but we can't be held back by the toads used for detection. If we have Lin Fu Red’s stone would be just fine…”
Karan remembered that among the memory scenes he had experienced, the first scene was that Linfred dropped the original bone spirit on a stone, and then judged whether the potion was effective based on different color changes.
"Jin Qi is pretty good."
Snape had already walked back to the jumping cauldron. He looked at the pile of snacks with difficulty, not knowing which one to use next.
"And there's Weier," he added casually: "I've never seen such a greedy owl. You raised it really well - eh! It hurts!"
The petite owl Wei Er flew back at some point, pecking Snape's head angrily, holding a large pile of letters tightly in its talons.
"Lily wrote back."
Karan took out a can of Owl Nuts from his pocket. Veil originally planned to enjoy it, but then thought of the taunting words she just said, so she once again pecked Snape's head back hard.
"What did Lily say?" Snape asked while pretending not to care, "Did she agree to come to Hogsmeade?"
As early as the first day back in Hogsmeade Village, Karan briefly told Lily about the jumping cauldron through magic gold coins - this was Lily's emphatic instruction before the holiday. After all, Karan was about to face Cat Leopard, she was really worried.
But what she never expected was that the real danger was not the Cat Leopard, but the mysterious Tiao Tiao Cao, and was even easily solved by Karan!
Through the scrawled handwriting on the letter paper, you can see how unpeaceful she is inside.
[Dear Karan, and Sif, if you are here:]
[I wish everything is well, and I wish Kalamping - Oh, forget it, how could you be unsafe? That's Cat Leopard, and Tiao Tiao Cao, I can't wait to hear your complete story - "You Do you really think she is using such an expectant tone?" Snape turned around and asked, and Karan shook his head firmly: "How is that possible, that's Lily."]
[I really want to go to Hogsmeade, after all, you can use wands there, and I also really want to see the wonderful Hopping Cauldron - Speaking of which, you actually persuaded James to lend you the Invisibility Cloak?This is so weird. 】
[I am still out on vacation with my family. Going to Hogsmeade Village may still have to wait for a while. Don’t just play around. Remember to do your holiday homework. The paper required by "Magic Theory" is very difficult. ——Forget it, let me tell you what to do with this. 】
[Please contact me later, I will write to you in advance. 】
[Friend, Lily. 】
Tucked into the envelope was a photo of Lily, standing in front of the beach, her hands raised high, the waves rolling behind her.
"Lily is a little incoherent."
Karan commented after reading the entire letter.
Snape said nothing. He was still staring at the photo, wanting to ask for it in his heart.
But Karan didn’t give it to him.
After covering the jumping pot with the invisibility cloak again, Karan walked out of the suitcase and came to a cabinet in the study.He took out a brand new photo frame from the drawer, put the photo in it, and then arranged it carefully.
There are other photo frames in the cabinet - including photos sent by Anthony during the two Christmas holidays.
Snape watched this scene silently and gave up on asking.
"I don't have a picture of you yet."
Karan turned around and smiled: "There are also photos of other members of the Magic Seeker. I should put them up if I have the opportunity in the future."
Snape still didn't speak, but he became a little flustered inexplicably, and his cheeks quietly turned red.
He began to miss the old Karan - although he was venomous and annoying, at least he was not as unscrupulous about revealing his inner thoughts as he is now.
Snape didn't know how to deal with this emotion - first when he faced his mother, Mrs. Prince, and still now.
"Look at the other letters."
Karan didn't continue to be embarrassed. He raised the thick stack of envelopes in his hand and simply sat on the chair in the study.
In addition to Lily, others also wrote letters to Karan - including Steve. He, Mr. Newt and Mrs. Tina all arrived in the United States, and Cat Leopard did not cause any trouble along the way. , it is estimated that we will arrive at Cat Leopard’s hometown soon.
Gaspard sent something like a paper - it was the progress of his own research on basilisk shedding and unknown powder. After reading it for a while, Karan got a severe headache.At the end of the letter, Gespard wrote that he welcomed Karan to his home as a guest, and his parents had already made research - ah no, they planned to entertain Karan.
Karan stared at the photo in the envelope in silence for a long time - the Gespard family stood in front of the camera. They all wore luminous glasses and gave Karan weird smiles.
"Well, I'd better put this photo at the bottom of the bookcase."
Karan said disgustedly, and Snape on the side felt that Karan had cut off the floo network link not only to be wary of Death Eaters, but also the Guspard family.
Next is Pandora's letter. She has already arrived at the home of Steve's aunt Queenie. They are both born with the same Legilimency. They exchanged a lot about how to solve the problem of talent. Judging from the content of the letter, Pandora seemed to like this enthusiastic and charming woman.
"It's easier to read your thoughts when your heart is hurt..."
Karan murmured in a low voice: "And when Queenie collapsed emotionally, it became even more difficult to control Legilimency..."
This is the key Pandora learns about how to control Legilimency—controlling her emotions, which can also mean "love."
Pandora didn't understand what this meant yet, but Queenie promised her that if she really couldn't control it, she could ask her for help - she had another way to solve the problem, but she didn't say what it was. What, and judging from her performance, Queenie seems reluctant to teach Pandora this backup plan.
"It's really troublesome..."
Karan rubbed his eyebrows and said, now even Queenie has her own secret, and he still hasn't figured out how Leta Lestrange survived.
There were only so many letters sent from students, and the next one was from Kahlan's former professor, Lil Lupin.
After leaving Potter Manor, Karan thought carefully, and he still told the world-famous non-existence expert about the things related to Bai Get, so as to prevent the other party from running around looking for Bai Get who no longer existed. Gert.
While marveling, Professor Leer expressed his gratitude to Karan for the reminder, and at the same time felt a little regretful for not being able to capture Baiget.During the werewolf attack, he had already understood how extraordinary his humble student was, so he did not doubt Karan's statement.
Although Remus' name was not mentioned, Callan could tell that after struggling for a long time, Professor Leal still couldn't help but tell him about inviting Callan to his home - the first time after the holiday. The full moon is coming, and he cares about his son more than anything else. This makes Professor Lear no longer care about any so-called face, or the persistence born of integrity - he understands that there will definitely be a price for casting the humanoid restoration spell. , that was a scene that Professor Lear had witnessed with his own eyes, and it was also the reason why he did not ask Karan again before the holiday.
"What are you going to do?"
Seeing that Karan didn't speak for a long time, Snape, who was bored and eating the licorice wand, simply asked: "Even if you have succeeded once, this must be very difficult for you - the taboo hidden in the moonlight, Who knows when that will touch you and what will happen next.”
Callan raised his head and asked, "You don't hate Remus anymore? He is with James and those people."
Snape was silent for a while, his expression gradually becoming complicated and tangled.
"Not now."
He finally said, while looking up at Callan, shaking his head slightly: "I have left Spider End Alley, and everything has become fine. Remus has never provoked me, and I have no reason to continue to resent him."
Snape has indeed changed a lot. With Mrs. Prince's company, at least he is no longer full of negative emotions every day, and he has gradually learned to distinguish who is innocent and who is the real enemy.
This is the reason why he did not have serious conflicts with the group of predators, and also the reason why the students in the same college regard him as a traitor.
All in all, just like Karan.
Under the power of "love", Snape also quietly changed.
"Do you want to go...?"
Karan looked down at the letter in his hand and fell into silence again.
The Taboo in Moonlight is really tricky.
