417 Dreams and Adventures
Dream interpretation is a form of divination that predicts the future by interpreting the meaning of dreams.
Karan rarely dreams. He didn't understand why before, but since arriving at Hogwarts, Karan finally understood that it was because of his natural talent as a closed-brained person.
But recently, after Karan suffered the price of the crown, perhaps due to the need to distract himself from the pain, Karan would have a strange dream from time to time.
In this dream, Karan stood on an endless staircase with nothing around him, not even the handrails of the stairs.
There was warm light at the end of Karan's head, and deep darkness beneath his feet.
Whenever Karan had the idea of going up, the stairs above would always fall one by one, forcing him to run down the stairs, otherwise he would fall into the darkness at his feet.
Unfortunately, running away can only bring temporary safety.
One day, as the stairs disappear one by one, Karan will take the initiative to throw himself into the darkness under his feet.
By then, Karan will never be able to escape.
Steve listened blankly to Karan's narration, and Gespard silently pushed up his glasses.
"Try to analyze it."
Karan said in a relaxed manner, as if the person who had this terrible dream was not himself at all.
"Well......"
Steve pretended to think carefully for a while: "I remember that in the first tea fortune telling, your result was not very good."
All three remembered Sybil's analysis of Callan's tea leaves - the blades, the tombstones, the castle, and the house elves.
The blade foreshadows danger, but it is not insurmountable - this corresponds to the experience of the Seven Hundred Horcrux World, where Karan encountered countless dangers, but he still came back alive.
The tombstone indicates that Karan has buried someone with his own hands - this indication is a bit vague.
In the second time point of change, Karan almost killed the robber with his own hands, but he found out that the person who did it turned out to be Mr. Anthony - but this also gave Karan some inspiration. He had buried Anthony with his own hands. gentlemen.It's just that instead of saying "burying", the word "death" may be more suitable.
Then there is the castle. The meaning is very simple. It refers to the fact that Karan regards Hogwarts as extremely important, and he thinks so too.
As for the last pattern, it was also the one that impressed a few people the most - the house elf -
【Eternal servant. 】
[With becoming a slave that cannot be broken free from. 】
Sybil’s divination is vivid in my mind.
Steve looked at Karan with a regretful expression on his face.
"That's probably because you're becoming a slave to the darkness, man."
"If there is anything you want to eat in particular, I can ask Greta for help. She has recently learned a lot of recipes from the house elves - oh, I know, don't fight, don't fight!"
Karan expressionlessly put down the palm he was about to raise.
At this time, Gespard also followed up and analyzed: "Darkness and light? This sounds much more interesting than unknown... Do you know what these two signs mean?"
Of course Karan knew.
What could be a darker being than Death and Antiochus?
They all have their eyes on Karan.
One is to let Karan become the God of Death instead of him, and for this purpose he also dropped the bait of three wishes.
The other one, at some point, will activate the blood magic hidden in Karan's body and replace Karan.
In addition, there are threats even more terrifying than them.
This threat was not only spoken by Sybil in another world, but Cadmus also said the same words - [Dark Ages].
Nothing represents darkness more than these dangers.
As for the light... Karan couldn't imagine anything that could save him, and the only guess was the Bend-Horned Snorlax - after all, that was the reason for Karan's existence.
And Karan can't figure out how to escape from the falling stairs... All methods seem to have failed, and falling into darkness will be Karan's only way back.
Cassandra the prophet, led by little Sibyl, walked to the students and listened to them tell their dreams one by one.
This includes Karan’s too.
After Karan repeated it, all the students fell silent. They all looked a little scared - not everyone can clearly remember the details of their dreams, and not everyone's dreams are so orderly. Almost all are chaotic - Steve, for example, often dreams about food and magical animals, often jumping back and forth between the two.
Cassandra's prophet stared at Karan with her cloudy eyes. Even though he knew that she was blind, Karan still felt that he was being observed by the other party.
"The unpredictable fate is very bad..."
Cassandra's prophet expressed her judgment. It seemed that even she could not predict what Karan would encounter.
Lily, who was sitting not far away, asked worriedly: "Is Karan's life in danger, professor?"
Cassandra the Seer shook her head. "All I can say is not to rule it out, my dear. Perhaps your friend should try to make sure not to be alone."
She said, turning her head and casting her unidentified gaze on Karan.
"At the very least, don't put yourself in the situation you were in in your dream - alone."
After repeating the word "alone" again, Cassandra Prophet suddenly became a lot more tired, and she handed over her homework - a paper on dream interpretation.Then he asked Sybil to take him back to the lounge to rest.
Only Callan caught a glimpse of Cassandra's prophet's inadvertent movements - Sybil seemed to also want to analyze Callan's dream, but was stopped by her grandmother's slightly raised arm.
This has happened more than once.
Karan knew that the current Sibyl must have the gift of divination, and maybe even the third eye, but Cassandra the prophet was very reluctant to let her say anything more, nor was she willing to let her perform too many divination.
Faintly, Karan somehow felt that Sybil was not really here to take care of the Cassandra Prophet.
It was Cassandra Seer herself who needed to keep an eye on Sybil.
"But why would she do it?"
After class, Lily, who was walking together in the corridor, asked: "Isn't it a good thing to have superb magic talent?"
When she said this, she was still staring at Karan with dissatisfaction - after all, Karan was the student with the most powerful magic talent she knew.
"That's unlikely."
Karan murmured in a low voice: "Don't forget Meadows. The superb magical talent she possessed later gave her an even worse character... Could it be that the prophet Cassandra is also like Antioch?" Dangerous ancestors?”
"It's best not to." Steve immediately said in horror: "I don't want to meet a descendant with dangerous bloodline like you again."
Saoirse Greengrass, who was passing by a few people, heard the conversation between them, and she mysteriously interjected: "It's not up to you."
She was referring to the existence of the blood curse on her body, but no one present except Karan could understand what she was talking about.
Then Saoirse glanced up and down at Lily with appraising eyes.
Lily frowned uncomfortably.
"Gryffindor..." Saoirse said proudly: "You should really find another female partner, at least a Slytherin!"
Saoirse can be regarded as a freak. Even though she is a member of a pure-blood family, she will not discriminate against Muggle-born people because of their blood, and she has never shown that she looks down on Callan.
Only Gryffindor.
Saoirse has always had an inexplicable hostility towards Gryffindor students, and all this seems to be just because she was sorted into Slytherin.
Lily stared at Saoirse unyieldingly, and she snorted proudly, expressing her disdain.
James, who was walking behind a few people, suddenly jumped out. He cut his hair and said, "Madam, wait until Slytherin defeats Gryffindor's Quidditch team before you say this, but I'm afraid it won't be until you graduate." I will never see this day again.”
Peter chuckled, and Remus stared helplessly at James's showy behavior. Sirius just raised his eyebrows slightly, causing many girls who secretly stared at him to scream in their hearts.
Saoirse didn't look offended at all. She just shook her hair hard and then walked away haughtily.
Steve asked Gaspard in a low voice: "Do you think her action just now looked a bit like Lily?"
Gaspard silently pushed up his glasses, and then nodded vigorously.
"What are you talking about?"
James put his arm around their shoulders, not caring about their movements of turning their heads because of the oil, and insisted: "If you ask me, Lily is far behind her. Slytherin will never be as good as Gryffindor." many!"
James yelled the last sentence loudly on purpose - Snape walked up to Karan with a cold face. He understood that James was deliberately provoking him again and was staring at him with an unkind look.
With the palm covering her nose, Lily couldn't help but curl up the corners of her mouth. James' words were helping her out, and whenever she saw Snape's expression, she couldn't help but think of it. Not long ago, Snape's hands were messing around in the potion preparation room - although Gaspard's glasses made the scene very confusing, it was still quite funny when you think about it.
"Okay, okay." Callan made a timely rescue and said: "Whether it's Slytherin or Gryffindor, they can't compare to Hufflepuff, so that's okay, right?"
Steve stared at Karan with strange eyes: "You call this a rescue? Although it sounds quite comfortable to me."
Sirius, who really couldn't bear the farce, walked up and asked Callan: "I heard from James and Remus that you planned to secretly go to Hogsmeade? When exactly will it be? Count me in. ."
It seems that James has already made an agreement with Sirius.
Callan patted Remus on the shoulder comfortingly, and he whispered back: "Soon."
"On the next full moon."
Three days later, James and Sirius walked into the Room of Requirement under the invisibility cloak. They were deliberately notified of the staggered time, so they were a little confused when they saw Callan who was sweating.
"You won't turn into a werewolf too, right?"
James said jokingly, stroking his hair back casually.
Karan glanced at Remus: "It seems our plan worked."
Remus quickly understood Karan's intentions, and he deliberately pretended to be vicious: "Yes, it's time to strengthen our team."
The singing of the two shocked James and Sirius, and they didn't come back to their senses until they saw that the two did not transform under the full moon.
"You're really scaring me, man."
Sirius stared at Remus with strange eyes: "I thought you were with us."
This was also a joke, but Remus turned his head away with a guilty conscience.
"Isn't it?!"
James stared at this scene in stunned silence, almost popping his eyes out.
"almost."
Karan ignored the two people's inexplicable glances and said, he walked to the door on the wall and pushed it open.
This seemed to be a signal.
It didn't take long before a burst of cheerful footsteps came from the corridor behind the door.
Ariana deliberately did not appear silent this time, but when she saw the four boys in the room, she showed a disappointed expression.
"Aren't there any girls? I usually don't get to know any girls. There are two older brothers at home, but this time there are a lot of little boys."
little boy?
Sirius raised his eyebrows, and James brushed his hair twice as if to vent his anger: "I'm not a boy. And, young lady, you don't look much older than us?"
"Okay, okay." Karan quickly pushed James twice, fearing that he would irritate Ariana.
Fortunately, Ariana didn't pay any attention to James' words, and all her thoughts were focused on the upcoming adventure.
"It is indeed a little boy." After a brief evaluation, Ariana said even more briefly: "Let's go first."
"Then where are you going to take us?" Karan asked with some anticipation. He really didn't know what other secret locations there were in Hogsmeade Village.
Under the leadership of Karan, the three of them climbed towards the corridor behind the door one by one.
Remus watched this scene helplessly, his heart full of tangles.But even if he really stopped it, James and Sirius would not listen to him, let alone Callan who summoned the two.
Ariana looked at the actions of several people and asked in a strange tone: "What are you doing?"
Karan paused in his steps.
"Aren't you going to Hogsmeade?" he asked doubtfully.
Karan thought so from the beginning. The only places Ariana had ever stayed were the Hog's Head Bar and Godric's Hollow, but she would have stayed in the Hog's Head Bar for a longer time. There was no way Aberforth would allow that. There was no one to take care of Ariana, and this way she could get closer to Dumbledore.
"You're not taking us to Godric's Hollow, are you?"
The expression on Karan's face became even more confused. He didn't see Percival's presence no matter how hard he looked.
Just as Remus was glad that there wouldn't be too much trouble, Ariana's next words made his heart tremble again.
"What are you talking about?"
The look on Ariana's face was even more confused than Callan's.
"Is there anything more interesting in Godric's Hollow than the Forbidden Forest?"
"How could I not know?"
