234 Rehearsal and Sparks
Rehearsals for The Wizard and the Hooper were a complete mess.
Remus Lupine, who plays the werewolf, is always timid and refuses to bite people. Sirius, the "little devil", always has conflicts with Snape, the "inferi", and they laugh at each other's costumes and acting skills. .
Even the protagonist Lily is no exception.
When she was dueling with "Vampire" Callan, she often almost let the spell hit Callan, which made her roommate Mary McDonald complain to her from time to time: "You should be more careful. , Lily. What should I do if I hurt Sangster?"
Lily was going crazy.
"Wait until I can really hurt him!"
After saying that, she angrily went to Karan to continue rehearsing, and the offensive of the curse became more and more fierce.
The Prewett brothers seemed to regret their original decision. They were not only responsible for the production of the scenery, special effects, and lucky pot props, but also ensured the safety of the students at all times.
"careful!"
Gideon shouted, "Armor!"
The invisible barrier blocked Lily's weak leg spell. Fabian quickly carried Karan aside without causing any harm to him.
With the precedent of Meadows last year, no professor wants something like this to happen again in school, especially in a drama that has only been restored with great difficulty.
Lily pursed her lips in dissatisfaction, seeming to be annoyed by this failure.
She had every reason to be so angry with Karan.
As the only antagonist who can hold a wand - a vampire, Callan has more scenes than anyone else.But Lily knew full well that Karan planned to feign illness and stop performing before the official performance, which would have a serious impact on the entire drama.
But Karan is not without a solution to this problem.
"Wouldn't it be nice if Snape made more preparations?"
After the rehearsal, he said maliciously: "Anyway, the role of [Inferi] is not that important, and the order of appearance is also very high. We just need to rehearse secretly in private, and then let Snape do more Just play one time and that’s it.”
"Professors Prewett's makeup techniques are so exquisite that no one will notice."
So, before Snape could say anything, he was forcibly taken away by Lily to rehearse the show.
This time, the crazy person immediately became Snape.
He didn't dare to actually use the wand against Lily, but this only made Lily feel a little confused and even a little angry.
"Do you think I'm not as good as Karan? Or do you think I'm not as good as you?"
She held her waist with her hands and glared at Snape with green eyes.
"Don't forget, Sev, I was number one in my grade last year!"
Lily didn't like Snape's cautious attitude, and she never felt that she needed any special care and protection.
She is no worse than anyone else.
"Damn!"
After another sweaty end of rehearsal, Snape strode angrily towards Kahlan, who was secretly laughing.
"Look at what you've done!"
He didn't want to be angry with Lily, so he had to vent his anger on Karan.
"For your inexplicable purpose, you got me into a lot of trouble!"
"Did you do this on purpose?"
Karan shook his head helplessly.
Snape's suspicion also had good reason, because Karan had gained nothing since agreeing to participate in the play, and he had never found any abnormalities in Professor Prewett.
But unexpectedly, Professor Kettleburn generously gave him a holiday and did not require him to attend every Fire Crab Club meeting, so that he could rehearse the drama with peace of mind.
In addition, Professor Kettleburn would often come in person and act as an audience while they rehearsed.
"It always reminds me of the old days."
When the students were taking a break, he said in a rough voice: "In the school's last drama performance, it was the ash snake I provided - yes, the one that exploded."
He seemed to have misunderstood the reason for Remus's pale face, and continued: "But let me tell you, it was not my fault that time. It must have been some little devil who accidentally cast a spell on it, which caused this accident. ."
Finally, he muttered dissatisfiedly: "What's the point of just acting? Some real guys should be allowed to play..."
Neither Gideon nor Fabian dared to answer these words.
Finally, another rehearsal full of "surprises" came to an end.
The students took off their costumes and left the classroom.
After returning to Hufflepuff's dormitory, Callan found Steve and Gaspard gathering together, discussing something excitedly.
Of course, Steve was the only one who was really excited. Guspard only looked serious. Karan even thought that he had created some new "Observation Diary".
"Karan, come here quickly!"
Steve waved his hand quickly: "We finally figured out the reason why the baby bird was comatose!"
Karan was stunned for a moment, and then he walked over quickly.
Only when he reached the coffee table did he see what was placed between the two of them.
It was a somewhat old copy of the Daily Prophet.
"It took us a lot of time to find this thing."
Gaspard said expressionlessly, staring at Karan strangely, as if blaming him for not helping.
"Drama, and club stuff."
Karan responded casually: "And I didn't expect you to actually be able to find relevant information. This is information that even "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them" has not recorded."
At this time, Steve seemed a little unhappy.
"That's because this information just comes from an interview, which is not rigorous enough at all. It is impossible for my father to write it into a book like this."
he said, pointing to one of the pages of the newspaper.
There was a moving photo on it. The people in the background were all wearing uniforms and riding broomsticks.
And above their heads, there was a phoenix flying.
"This is the Mottola Macaws, New Zealand's Quidditch team."
Steve introduced to Callan: "And this phoenix is what I once said, the other tamed phoenix owned by Principal Dumbledore."
Karan immediately remembered this incident.
"Is this [Spark]?" he asked.
"That's right." Gesper pushed up his glasses, picked up the newspaper, and read aloud: [As the mascot of the Mottola Macaws, Sparks is undoubtedly valued by all players, especially Nirvana Day. this important period. 】
[However, as we all know, the day of Nirvana is not fixed.At the end of a game, Sparks suddenly underwent nirvana, and the immortal phoenix turned into an ugly baby bird. The baby bird was then viciously attacked by the opposing team's mascot, a poisonous horned beast. 】
[After this attack, Sparks forcibly burned himself and was reborn again, but suddenly fell into a coma. 】
[Fortunately, it was later learned that Sparks was not seriously injured. It only took less than 5 minutes to wake up and reappear on the field. 】
[The team manager told us that their treatment method is simple. 】
Gaspard looked up at Karan and said.
"It's fire."
