Chapter 125 Celebration

Chapter 125 Celebration

In the potion preparation room, Lily and Snape were busy sorting out the few remaining potion ingredients and the parchment paper that recorded the derivation process of the formula.

After a whole semester, in addition to trying to improve the formula, several people also improved the processing of many ingredients. After all, not everyone can be as perfect as Karan, at least Lily and Snee Generally speaking, it cannot.

It is worth mentioning that Lily was the first to discover that squeezing the sleepy beans with the side of a silver knife will produce more juice than slicing them.

She is very talented in potions, no less talented than Snape.

Perhaps this is why they were able to successfully improve the formula in the first grade.

However, compared to the noisy Hufflepuff dormitory, the atmosphere here is much quieter.

This may be because Slytherin House won the House Cup this year (the Quidditch Cup helped them a lot), but it is more because tomorrow is the day off.

And Karan had already told them that he would not return to Spider End Alley during the holidays.

"well."

After stacking the cauldrons together, Lily sighed, her dazzling red hair looking a little eclipsed at this moment.

Her stunning green almond eyes looked at Snape and blinked depressedly.

"Karan won't go back. Then will you still come to play with me, Sif?"

Snape's hand shook and the glass bottle almost fell to the ground.

"Of course...of course."

He said in a panic, picking up the glass bottle with a red face.

Lily couldn't help but giggle. After a while, she said in a regretful tone: "It's a pity that the magic coin was not made until the end, otherwise it would be much easier for us to contact each other by then."

"That's a transformation spell after all..." Snape said in a complicated tone.

"Yes, we really shouldn't expect too much. At least we have successfully improved the formula."

Although she said this, Lily still looked a little downcast, and she unconsciously rolled her long hair with her fingers.

Snape sat opposite her, staring blankly at the pile of neatly arranged glass bottles. Under the double reflection of the flames of candles and bluebells, these glass bottles gradually condensed into crosses of light.

Although the vacation is about to take place, the two of them don't seem that happy.

After all, there is still one person missing.

"Hey, they're all here!"

At this time, a sudden sound made both of them tremble.

Karan put the invisibility cloak on the table nearby. He had a smile on his face, as if he didn't see the angry glances of the two. He walked up to Lily as if nothing had happened, stretched out his hand and shook her vigorously, pretending to be polite. He said with a serious face: "Hello, I am number one in my grade."

After finishing speaking, he walked up to Snape again, ignored his arms that were dodging back and forth, hugged him directly, and said in a gratified tone: "Hello, third grader."

By the way, the second grader is Remus Lupin, that is, six excellent and one good.

Lily rubbed her pinched red palms vigorously, and shouted angrily: "Are you done yet?"

Snape was not as strong as her. He covered his chest and coughed twice. Karan hit him too hard just now.

"Can you...cough next time?" His tone was choppy, and he couldn't even finish his sentence.

Karan has done this more than once since the results were released.He would use a pretentious tone every time and call out new nicknames for the two of them.

But this will not make them feel happy or proud. Instead, they will only feel that Karan is silently despising them.

You boys and girls who only know about test scores will not understand my realm.

This sentence always comes to their mind every time they see that smile on Karan's face.

Especially Lily.

She doesn't feel that this first place really belongs to her.

"Okay, don't be angry." Karan smiled and cast a few healing spells for them.

Lily turned around and snorted, her tone a little sarcastic.

"The number one in grade doesn't want to talk to grade number 30!"

This is Karan's ranking, which is considered to be at the bottom of the upper reaches.The main reason is that he has no shortcomings, and an o (excellent) has improved his ranking.

But in fact, this was just because Karan didn't expect other people's grades to be so bad.

Karan looked at Lily's look in amusement, and then he moved his eyes to Snape, as if he wanted to see what he could say.

Snape was still patting his chest. After seeing Karan looking towards him, he took a few steps back silently.

"The third grader just wants to stay away from the 30th grader." He said.

After a while of fighting, Karan checked the facilities in the potion preparation room and nodded with satisfaction.

Lily stared at the invisibility cloak that he casually put aside, and asked curiously: "What are you doing with the invisibility cloak? It's not curfew time now."

Snape seemed to have thought of something.

"Are you going to stalk Malfoy again?" he asked.

Although they were also curious about the conversation between Lucius and Narcissa, after all, the holiday was coming soon, but Hogwarts was just calm, so they no longer cared about it.

"no."

Karan shook his head, and the invisibility cloak automatically floated into his hand.

He said frankly: "I am going to the Forbidden Forest."

The two were stunned.

"Forbidden Forest?!" Lily's eyes widened. She stared straight at Karan: "What are you doing there? This is against school rules!"

Snape added in a low voice: "And I heard that the Forbidden Forest is very dangerous. The principal already mentioned this at the opening banquet."

"Don't worry, I've been there many times."

Karan ignored the increasingly shocked looks of the two and said lightly: "And it was with Gaspard and Steve, we have all been there."

"Have you all been there?!" Lily covered her mouth immediately. She didn't expect Karan and the others to secretly do so many things that violated school rules.

"During the Quidditch match?" Snape asked suddenly. He remembered that Callan didn't go to the game, and once, even Steve and Guspard didn't go.

Karan raised an eyebrow.

"It's not just those few times," he said.

Lily covered her mouth and blinked uneasily.

"Then why didn't you tell us about this then?" Her muffled questioning voice came from behind her palm.

"I'm not lying to you, I'm really not interested in Quidditch."

After a pause, Karan added naturally: "And this is against school rules!"

Lily couldn't help but snorted in dissatisfaction. Speaking of violating school rules, they had violated school rules countless times since the establishment of this potion preparation room.

But when she saw Karan about to put on the invisibility cloak, Lily stepped forward and grabbed him.

"You're not allowed to go!" She said firmly: "It's so dangerous in the Forbidden Forest, not to mention the holiday tomorrow."

She looked at Karan up and down, and suddenly asked with some confusion: "When did you suddenly become a person like Potter? Didn't you always want to not be noticed?"

"It's just a violation of school rules, and it won't necessarily attract attention."

"and......"

Karan blinked, and he suddenly said something in an inexplicable tone.

"It's not up to me."

Before the two of them could react, he said cheerfully again: "Besides, we have a holiday tomorrow, so we always have to celebrate."

"That won't work either!" Lily's tone was still firm, with concern in her eyes.She would not let Karan venture into a dangerous place like the Forbidden Forest again, even if he was a gifted student with difficulty in sorting.

But Snape stood aside and said nothing.

In his eyes, Karan had never been the kind of person to make rash decisions.Just look at this potion preparation room and you will know that before he succeeded in doing it, even he did not expect that he would have such an ability.

But Karan always supported them.

Besides that, there are many other things.

For example, black magic.

Maybe it's out of a desire to repay, or maybe it's just a momentary impulse.

"I'll go with you," Snape said suddenly.

The two people who were arguing suddenly became quiet.

"What are you talking about!" Lily said in surprise, but her movements were still very fast. Before Snape could react, she had already taken a step and grabbed Snape's arm.

Now she was standing between the two of them, holding an arm with each hand, looking a little ridiculous.

Callan smiled happily, but Snape didn't.

His body suddenly became extremely stiff, and his movements felt like cramps.

"This...isn't this exactly what you want to see?"

The momentary nervousness and panic did not affect Snape's thoughts. He pretended not to see the joking expression on Callan's face, but the thin, yellow face suddenly turned a little red.

"If you don't want Lily to stop you, then why don't you just go there? There's no need to pretend here."

Snape's lips moved, and he forced himself to say in a sarcastic tone: "I don't think anyone can guess the things you don't want others to know, unless you take the initiative to say it yourself."

Lily was stunned. She looked left and right at the two of them, and finally focused on Karan, who was still smiling.

She inexplicably thought of Penny, and her hand retracted from Karan's arm like an electric shock.

Karan showed no sign of being pierced, with a gentle smile on his face.

"Then, do you want to go with me?" he suggested.

Snape nodded silently, he had no reason to refuse.

Lily also withdrew her hand from grabbing Snape's arm. She suddenly realized that among the three of them, she was the only one who had not yet made a decision.

After a pause, she finally shouted angrily.

"None of you are allowed to go!"

After a while, on the dark grass outside the castle, the moon hung high in the sky, emitting a soft light.

Under the invisibility cloak, Lily glared angrily at the two people in front of her, but Karan and Snape had a tacit understanding and did not look back.

At this time, Lily suddenly became even more angry, and she slapped the two of them hard.

"Whenever you encounter danger, you must go back immediately!"

she whispered angrily.

"rest assured."

Karan looked at the dark forbidden forest in the distance and murmured softly.

"It's just a celebration."
