Chapter 145
"Good morning, everyone, except the lucky ones who don't have the first class in the morning...", Carl yawned and came to the long table. He was the last one among his friends who didn't come to eat.
"Oh, everyone is here in the morning, that's the best." Carl glanced around and found that none of the familiar people around him were left out.
"If I knew that you didn't have morning classes, it would be more uncomfortable than if I had five full morning classes." Carl muttered. He really envied Nanako now. At least he didn't have to get up so early. He was obviously a rooster, but he was getting lazier and lazier. Sometimes when Carl got up, he might not get up. When he got up, he would definitely act arrogantly.
Who did he follow? It can't be me.
Forget it, let's see what everyone is doing first... Carl thought randomly in his mind, then gave up thinking, raised his head, and carefully observed the friends around him.
Alice was not at the long table of Ravenclaw. She squeezed to Lily's side. The two little girls were talking and laughing. Generally speaking, James would be sulking on the side at this time, and tried hard to squeeze to Lily's side to attract Lily's attention.
But not at this moment, because he and Sirius had bruises under their eyes, and the butter knife in their hands was a little shaky at the moment. It was obvious that they had been out for a night out.
"James, Sirius, your butter is crooked..." Remus looked at Sirius and James's actions, feeling helpless. They were almost smearing the butter on each other's faces.
I don't know what they did last night while he and Peter were asleep...
But even if I don't know, I guess it must have violated at least half of the school rules. It's really worrying. Remus's reminder saved Sirius and James from having to go to class with sticky butter on their bodies. After thanking Remus, the two of them stuffed the bread into their mouths, chewed it a few times and swallowed it casually.
"I'll take a nap. Call me after you finish eating. I'm really sleepy." Sirius said and fell asleep. James didn't even ask him to do so and immediately followed Sirius to sleep.
...
What kind of people are these two guys... There is no positive description in the original book. They are brave, righteous and anti-war heroes. They can only be barely seen as two naughty kids.
As for Sever, he handed over the bread with jam. Seeing that Carl's bruises were not much better than James and Sirius, he said with some disapproval, "Did you go out for a night out with them? Why do you look like you haven't woken up yet?"
It's obvious with your toes that Potter and Black must have gone out for a night out in the middle of the night. Sever can't control this. It's better for them to go out for a night out every day, and then drop a dozen places compared to last semester at the end of the semester.
Finally, he will take the opportunity to kill them all.
But Carl... Carl can be managed. Even if he doesn't care about anything, he has the responsibility to urge Carl. If Carl's grades drop, Aunt Leah will definitely be very distressed.
Carl didn't sleep well, but it wasn't because of night walks. Well... it wasn't much different.
Although he didn't go out at night last night, he went to the secret room.
Well... yes, Sirius and James violated the first half of the school rules, and Carl violated the second half of the school rules yesterday. They are really good friends. They violated a whole book of school rules, which is really wonderful.
The main thing is to feed the basilisk and comfort it. After all, he was left alone during the winter vacation. In fact, there was no problem at the beginning. After all, he hadn't eaten for several centuries, and Tom didn't necessarily give him extra meals every day. This kind of food wouldn't starve him to death, but it's hard to go from extravagance to frugality.
Carl may have few other things, but he really has a lot of worm meat. Since the mine was opened, he has always collected worm meat reserves casually. After all, he didn't think it was useful at first. Even so, he has several sets.
Start collecting now, and you don't even need to go to the desert mine, which is a terrible place. Just stay in the ordinary mine, find a bug and cut it one by one, and you can get enough for a year in one night.
This allows the basilisk to eat happily almost every day. When he learned that he would not see Carl for two months, he almost turned into a pig head and shouted to Carl, "How can I live without you!" Carl, take me away!
Although Carl put a lot of reserves in the secret room before leaving, the reserves can be sure that a small snake is definitely enough to eat, but Carl is also sure that a small basilisk is definitely not enough to eat.
So when Carl entered the entrance of the secret room, he saw the basilisk looking forward from afar outside the cave. Of course, raising the basilisk to be a little picky is also some of Carl's own little thoughts. He is now slowly raising the basilisk to be rich. Even if Tom comes later, the basilisk is not a fool. He will know who to follow after weighing it.
Follow TomJames was hungry and full, but he still followed me to eat every day. The intelligence of the basilisk was not enough to cultivate people's loyalty and integrity, so under equal conditions [both were heirs of Slytherin], of course he would choose the good one to follow. Even fools knew to seek benefits and avoid harm.
"How is it possible? I am so good, how could I go out and fool around with these two guys? I am a good boy, and the teachers have a good reputation for me. Of course I am sleeping well, but I just have insomnia." Carl looked like he did nothing.
"Really? I don't believe it..." It didn't seem like he was lying, but Severus still didn't believe that Carl really went to sleep obediently, although he also ruled out the option of him following Sirius and James to go out quietly at night.
His guess was that Carl thought of something fun again and tinkered with it for most of the night. After all, such an active guy would easily forget the time and play for most of the night when he was in the mood.
If this kind of interest is added to potions... With a strange talent and interest, I'm afraid I will feel threatened...
No one would have thought that Carl would not violate the first half of the school rules, but would violate the second half. Who would dare to think of this?
"Have you considered the issue of course selection? What do you want to choose?" Sever decided not to pursue the issue of Carl playing in the middle of the night and not being energetic in the morning. After all, it would probably be fine in a few days, although he didn't know what interesting things it was.
But even if the ball of yarn is fun, it will get boring. He believes that Carl can control these things by himself, so he doesn't need to worry about them at all. He found something to talk about and started the topic again.
"Well, I haven't thought about it, but I must exclude some boring options. I don't want to add another subject of imprisonment." Carl replied.
"Then you think too much. Most of the learning is what you call 'imprisonment'."
"It's hard for you to be so happy in prison..."
"In fact, Lily is also very happy, isn't she?" Sever pulled Lily out, wanting Carl to understand that not everyone is like him.
"Do you want me to be Lily? If you can make Polyjuice Potion, that's not impossible." Carl yawned, Sever didn't say anything, but he had to go to class now, "Oh, it's almost time, Sever, let's go..."
"Of course not, just be yourself, after all, Carl is unique." Sever stood up, Carl's brain was a little confused in the morning, and he didn't digest Sever's words for a while.
"What did you say?" He was not sure if he heard it wrong or Sever said it wrong, it couldn't be...
"Who taught you that? It must be those two guys again. You always told me to stay away from James and Sirius. I think you are the one who needs to stay away from them..."
A good man was corrupted by James and Sirius.
"Of course not, this is what I want to say... Forget it, just think that someone else taught me..."
