414 Horned Water Snake and Pukechi

414 Horned Water Snake and Pukechi

On the grass beside the black lake, Karan fell backward with force.

He looked directly at the sun in the sky, not avoiding it even though it was dazzling.

Two weeks have passed since his final return. Karan finally returned to the world where he should be, and also figured out why he existed - it was all due to the Thestral Guardian God brewing in the jumping cauldron. The reason for the appearance of the Bent-Horned Snorlax.

There is no time traveler at all, Karan is a person of this world from beginning to end.It's just that at the beginning he was just an ordinary Muggle, or a squib.

It wasn't until the Bent-Horned Snorlax met him that he gained so much knowledge and memories out of thin air.This also relates to the Snorlax's ability to transcend the limits of the world.

There is not just one magical world.

The original timeline that Karan learned was just the experience of one of the worlds.

The only difference is that in that world magic was just a fantasy, but now it's a reality.

It's a pity that Karan hasn't figured out the way to travel through the world - the time turner must be included, but he still hasn't figured out what role the Taboo plays in this - that is, the jumping pot Cadmus in .

In addition, there are many other things that Callan does not understand - the reason for Antioch's immortality, the way to completely eliminate Herbo, the solution to the magical drawbacks caused by the crown, and in Godric's Hollow, The other Callan I met was Dumbledore.

But fortunately, it's not too late.

Whether it's Voldemort, Herbo, or Antioch, they all have time.

Because Karan finally made it back.

At this moment, he just wants to enjoy the sunshine. When autumn comes in a while, the playground of Hogwarts will not be so warm and pleasant.

“It feels good to be back.”

Karan smiled unconsciously. He stretched hard and scratched his limbs back and forth on the grass, causing Barian, who was sleeping on his chest, to move her body so that she could lie down more comfortably. .

Lily looked at this scene in shock, and Snape was so frightened that he dropped the book in his hand.

Steve, standing between the two of them, stuffed the last strawberry into his mouth. He clapped his hands and said inarticulately: "You have all seen it. For two whole weeks, Karan has been like this. He looks even lazier than me."

"I've already said everything that needs to be said. Gaspard and I are completely helpless. Please advise Karan."

As he was about to leave, Snape stopped him in a panic.

"You...where are you going?"

Snape and Lily had known Callan for so long and had never seen him in such a state. They couldn't think of any solution, so they had to ask Steve, who didn't seem so reliable, for help.

But Steve said helplessly: "It's Guspard. I don't know why, but he suddenly became interested in Muggle creations. Coupled with Callan's indolence, Guspard became interested." I had no choice but to ask for my help... I remember I had to figure out the structure of a tank today, and it didn't sound like a good name."

The two of them watched Steve leave.

After being stunned for a while, Lily murmured to herself in disbelief: "Did I hear that right... He was talking about tanks?!"

Snape, who grew up in the Muggle world, was also somewhat familiar with tanks. In his impression, they seemed to be used to participate in wars.

"That sounds a lot more evil than some simple hex,"

Snape added in a low voice: "At least the level of war magic."

At this time, Karan, who narrowed his eyes slightly, finally spoke.

"Don't worry," he said lazily: "Without my help, Gaspard won't be able to succeed. At most, he can successfully modify a bicycle, and maybe a wheelchair too."

"Without your help?" Lily looked at Karan suspiciously. She was really afraid that Karan would help Gaspard get a tank out.

At this time, two people walked out from the castle. Snape's eyes immediately changed when he saw them. He asked in a bad tone: "What are you doing here?"

Sirius replied calmly: "It has nothing to do with you."

James greeted Lily enthusiastically, and Lily frowned unhappily.

"I called them here."

Karan finally stood up. He searched in his pocket for a while and returned the Deathly Hallows Invisibility Cloak to James: "Here you go, where's the other one of mine?"

When they found the Tiaotiao Cauldron, in order to avoid the curse on it, the two exchanged each other's invisibility cloaks.

James was obviously prepared. While handing over Karan's invisibility cloak, he asked: "What about the jumping cauldron? You don't have to figure out how to prepare the potion?"

Karan replied nonchalantly: "There is no more jumping cauldron, it was damaged by us."

"What?!" James and Sirius looked at him in shock, while Lily and Snape were not surprised again because of the reasons Steve had told them.

James approached Callan and asked anxiously in a low voice: "Are you serious? What should Remus do?"

Karan once said that he planned to use the jumping cauldron to prepare a potion to cure werewolves, but due to the disappearance of Cadmus, the Forbidden One, this plan could only come to nothing.

"It's still the same." Karan said calmly: "I just have to do it myself. Anyway, I tried this way before."

He was referring to the Restoration Charm.

James left with some anxiety. He hadn't figured out how to tell Remus the bad news.

After the two of them walked away, Lily couldn't help but ask: "What on earth is going on? Why do you seem to have suddenly changed? And the jumping cauldron, it can be broken? What a pity for me I haven’t even used such a magical crucible properly..."

Snape stared at Karan silently for a while, and then he suddenly said, "Are you really Karan, not some inexplicable taboo?"

"What are you thinking about?" Karan looked at the two of them funny.

To be honest, after experiencing such a magical child generation, even if he just saw the two standing in front of him, Karan would be a little happy.

As for Harry's last name...

Karan remembered that James from another world once said that all these changes were attributed to a Christmas ball, and he didn't know what happened at that ball.

As soon as she saw Karan become happy, Lily herself became unhappy.

She approached Snape suspiciously and asked him in a low voice: "Has Karan really become stupid? Steve also said that his magic level is not as high as before. Don't you think this Is something wrong?"

"Of course...of course."

Snape coughed twice in embarrassment. He took two small steps sideways without leaving a trace, and then continued: "This means that I no longer have to endure Karan's ridicule, and I can beat him up at any time. "

Lily stared at Snape with strange eyes - why didn't she think of such a wonderful idea?Penny's revenge has not yet been avenged.

Seeing that something was wrong, Karan blinked, then turned around and ran away immediately: "I'm leaving first!"

"Eh-" Lily screamed behind him: "Then you should give Barian back to me!"

But Karan had already disappeared, and Lily said sullenly: "Why he suddenly became so... puzzling, just like when we first met him, even more so than that time. Mysterious.”

Snape was silent for a while, and then he suddenly said: "Fortunately, his condition is much better than when we first met him, at least he is easier to be happy."

On the other side, Karan held Barian in his arms. While teasing the cat, he whispered: "Tell me, what should you do if you are targeted by death?"

Balian had the same look in her eyes as Lily - as if she was looking at a fool.

Karan laughed nonchalantly, and continued walking further into the playground, finally stopping in front of Hagrid's cabin.

However, there seemed to be guests inside the cabin.

Defense Against the Dark Arts professor Lucius Malfoy strode out, still saying: "I hope you will seriously consider my suggestion, Hagrid."

"No way!" Hagrid said angrily: "Don't even think about it, just leave now!"

Lucius glanced at Karan. He did not have an attack, but walked away with an ugly expression.

Only then did Hagrid notice Karan outside the door: "Oh, it's you - no, why is it only you? Didn't Steve come with you?"

Steve is the member of the Hufflepuff trio who visits Hagrid the most.

"He's doing a little favor for Gosper."

Callan walked into the cabin at Hagrid's greeting. He threw a few pieces of dried meat at Yaya who was shouting happily, and then asked curiously: "What is Lucius doing here?"

"Don't mention it." Hagrid waved a big hand impatiently, as if to ward off disturbing flies.

"He is very interested in the magical animals I taught in class. In order to see them, he was even willing to promise me a sum of gold. It's another old trick of the Malfoy family. How could I be easily fooled? Their family is even Gold is evil, I really don’t understand why Principal Dumbledore insists on recruiting him to be a professor.”

Karan shook his head: "I can't understand either."

Then he looked at Hagrid awkwardly.

"What's wrong?" Hagrid asked in confusion: "Are you hungry? Do you want some rock biscuits?"

"Um..." Karan scratched his nose in embarrassment: "I'm not hungry, but like Lucius, I came here for those magical animals."

Barian in her arms stared at Karan, with a hint of disdain in her eyes - Karan just now was not so shy.

"I thought it was something."

Hagrid laughed loudly and said indifferently: "Speaking of which, I haven't thanked you for joining the Fire Crab Club - no, the ending of that matter didn't seem to be very good, and I shouldn't mention it again - that Let's take the first Care of Magical Creatures lesson. If it weren't for you, the other little guys might not be willing to come into contact with Lesa the Horned Water Snake - tell me, who do you want to see? I happen to have time, so just take it as a I’ll give you extra extra lessons.”

A happy expression appeared on Karan's face, and he said with relief: "Thank you so much, Hagrid!"

"It's Lesa who I want to see!"

Fifteen minutes later, Hagrid, fully armed, walked back to the fence of the cabin, with Lesa following behind him.

"I never thought you would like the horned water snake."

Hagrid looked at the expectant Karan outside the fence with emotion: "Could the rumors in the school be true? Did you really kill a large group of basilisks with your own hands? But I have to tell you in advance, Lesa just A good baby, don’t even think about dealing with it.”

Karan looked at the huge baby in Hagrid's mouth. He swallowed the words he was about to blurt out and asked instead: "Can I ride Lesa again? Just like in the first lesson?"

"Of course." Hagrid replied in surprise: "Of course, as long as you don't forget the key points I taught you."

Karan didn't forget any important points, and Leisha seemed to remember the brave little boy.

After staring at each other for a while, Lesa lowered her head slightly, and Karan successfully climbed onto its shiny scales.

"Let's go." Karan said excitedly.

Under Hagrid's pleased gaze, the gem on the horned water snake's forehead shone brightly, and then it became invisible together with Karan and slowly rose into the sky.

"It's really spectacular."

Karan felt this wonderful feeling again. Everything under his body was transparent, and even he couldn't see his body.

"Lessa."

As he slowly rose to the highest altitude, Karan suddenly asked, as if he had completely forgotten that he did not know Parseltongue.

"Are you the horned water snake that Isolt Thayer encountered?"

Lesa didn't reply, and even if she did, Karan wouldn't understand. After all, he didn't know Parseltongue.

But there are some languages ​​that Karan can still understand.

"Kid, how did you know about this?"

After hearing this familiar tone, Karan smiled slightly.

Although the other party was also transparent, he knew exactly who was appearing next to him.

William, Pukechi who lived for hundreds of years.

-------

After a long time, the horned water snake and Karan finally returned to the ground.

Hagrid nervously reached forward and took Karan down: "Why did it take so long this time? Is there anything wrong?"

"No."

Karan didn't seem to have recovered from the exciting flight. He smoothed his messed up hair, shook his head and said, "There's no problem, Hagrid."

As Karan walked back to the castle alone, he was still thinking about a conversation with William.

"Why did you have to follow Steve to Hogwarts? Don't you know Principal Dumbledore?"

"Albus Dumbledore? Are you referring to the headmaster of Hogwarts? He is too weak and always reminds me of Isolt Thayer. But Isolt only saved He gave birth to two children, but Dumbledore spared the Dark Lord's life. He should have killed Grindelwald completely in the first place. Believe me, one day, he will pay the price for his weakness."

"All in all, I don't trust him."

"I can't trust Dumbledore anymore."
