[HP+Shenxia] Unexpected encounter

The holidays passed quickly, and it was Sherlock's birthday before returning to school. Although Sherlock himself didn't care about missing his birthday, Aurora still gave him a notebook of simple potion recipes that he had sorted out and was not easy to blow up. As a birthday present.One must know that Sherlock had already begun to study the principle of potion if it hadn't been for Mycroft's efforts to stop it.

Aurora remembered that Snape's birthday was just a few days after Sherlock's birthday. She thought that Snape was also a good "collaborator", so she also sent a handwritten "Compendium of Materia Medica", which added Got some insights on Aurora and corrected some glitches in the translation.

So, on the morning of January 1th, a white snowy owl flew into No. 9 Spider's End Lane with a large package under its paws.

Snape opened the package, and on the top was an ink-colored, very thick suede leather loose-leaf notebook.He opened the notebook, and there was a book about Chinese herbal medicine copied in beautiful and neat handwriting, and the pictures were meticulously drawn.There was also a letter inside.

Dear Professor Snape:

By accident, I found out that today is the professor's birthday, so I prepared a gift for you. Happy birthday to you!

I mentioned the part of Chinese herbal medicine in the study of pharmacy at school before, and I got this "Compendium of Materia Medica" by accident during the holidays. In view of the small problems caused by translation in the original book, I sent this copy to you.In addition, I recorded some immature thoughts in the copybook, I hope you will not laugh when you see them.

Recently, I researched and made Huaguo snacks at home, and I brought some yam cakes for you to taste along with the book. Yam has the effect of strengthening the spleen and nourishing the stomach.None of them are very sweet and should be to your liking, and you can have some at your leisure in the afternoon.These snacks can be stored at room temperature, but it is recommended to heat them up before eating, after all, the winter in the UK is too cold.

My owl is called Anthony, if you can please provide him with some bread and water, he is very good and will fly back by himself after resting.

PS: In order for you to enjoy the best taste of dim sum, I hope you can eat dim sum in the near future.

Your student, Aurora Holmes

Snape accidentally squeezed the letter in his hand. He had forgotten his birthday for so many years, but he did not expect to receive a sincere blessing this year. Snape felt a long-lost warmth in his heart.He put down the letter to calm down, and continued to unpack the package. Under the notebook was a large box of snacks, and the yam cakes were made into flowers, which looked very delicate.Before he picked up the snack, he saw Anthony, who was obediently staying aside, shaking his wings.

Snape glanced at Anthony, brought him some bread and water, and saw that he rubbed his head against his hands before he began to enjoy the food, and said to himself, "Like your master, it's really nice to look at it." Coincidentally..." It's hard to say that he is also a little fox in rabbit skin in private.

The holiday is over, and when the students come back to Hogwarts, it is already mid-January. Aurora came down from the Hogwarts Express this time and took a carriage pulled by Yeqi. Drake, Elvira, Christie, Doris, and Sylvia were all exchanging ideas about their activities during the holiday.

Sylvia could see that Draco had been exhausted when he returned to school this time, but it was undeniable that Tong had also grown a lot, "Draco, what did you do this vacation, I feel that you are very tired."

Since everyone present knew everything, Elvira explained, "Uncle Lucius strengthened Draco's training during the holidays." Draco and Elvira looked at Aurora silently, "Especially After Aurora's visit to Draco, Uncle Lucius somewhat disliked that Malfoy's heir was inferior to the Holmes lady."

Aurora spread her hands to show her innocence, and I blame myself.With Draco's dissatisfied eyes, he hurriedly said: "I made some snacks during the holiday, and I will share them with you later."

At school, Hermione told Christie that the Christmas gift Harry had received was an invisibility cloak.And found the Mirror of Erised while wearing it on a night tour, it can see the most urgent and strongest desire in the depths of one's heart.

Hearing this news, Draco was amazed. He didn't expect that there would be a Mirror of Erised in the school.Elvira excitedly asked everyone if they wanted to take a look, but everyone refused.Draco and Hermione knew their current goals, and there was no need to look for those illusory things.The three of Aurora are determined, and Christie said: "No need, I will naturally work hard to achieve what I want. There is no need to look for a sense of existence in front of a mirror. And I know exactly what I want to do."

Doris continued to persuade, "Are you really not going? You can see what you want to be the most."

"After seeing it, there are nothing more than two results. One, I am encouraged to work hard for it; two, I am hit, self-denied, and then self-negative. Besides, the current thoughts may not be the future thoughts. The content will affect my future life." Aurora refused, "No matter what you see, don't indulge in those illusory fantasies, the reality is the most important."

Sylvia frowned and looked at Elvira and Doris, "If what is shown in the mirror is your dream, it's great to persist in your dream, but if you pursue a wish that can never be realized or should never be realized , people may waste their lives”

In the end, only Elvira and Doris went to see the Mirror of Erised. Afterwards, Aurora keenly found that there seemed to be something different about Elvira, but she couldn’t tell. It seemed that there was no big problem. get to the bottom.It's just that what Aurora didn't think of was the hidden dangers that would be brought to the near future if he didn't delve into it now.

As the days go by, the summer vacation that Hogwarts students are looking forward to is coming.However, what cannot be ignored is that there is something called an exam before the holiday.If you want to have an ideal holiday, review before the exam is essential.Therefore, the usually deserted library is full of people, in groups of three or four, with textbooks spread out in front of everyone, and then writing quickly on parchment with a quill pen or discussing in a low voice.

In such an atmosphere, Draco and Hermione also seemed to be a little bit crazy, grabbing every minute to review the contents of the books, it seemed that everyone was suffering from pre-exam anxiety.

But the Aurora five members are not in this range, they are all people who have passed the Huaguo college entrance examination, but it is just a final exam and they are not flustered to the point of anxiety.

On Saturday afternoon, the group of five discussed the pre-examination review situation of the Hogwarts students and expressed sympathy for them during the usual afternoon tea party.

"To be honest, I'm a little worried about my Potions exam." Christie looked distressed, not expecting that her fame would be ruined in Potions, "I always feel that I will explode the cauldron during the exam."

Sylvia looked at her sympathetically. In the past year, everyone knew exactly how handicapped Christie was when brewing the potion. They clearly followed the steps, but God knows what biochemical weapon was finally brewed.

"If I were you, I would seize all the time spent complaining to read books or do exercises. This is the best way to avoid failing." Doris held a thick history of magic in her hand and looked at it with a frown. Christy.

"Do you want Aurora to remind you during the exam?" Elvira came up with a bad idea.

"Do you think I haven't thought about it?" Christie sighed, "It's good that Professor Snape didn't find out, if he found out, Aurora, who can be regarded as his favorite student, will definitely be ignored by him. The only one who suffers in the end must be me, Gryffindor."

"Then you should review carefully, and don't think of so many crooked ideas." Aurora was also a little worried, "My Transfiguration is not very good, and I can barely cope with it after learning it in advance at this stage. no solution anymore."

Sylvia suggested that everyone tell the subjects they are not good at, "...Spells and Defense Against the Dark Arts, since I went to Chinatown during the holidays, now I want to eat when I take Quirrell's class, I don't know him at all. What did you say?"

"Flying lessons and history of magic. History of magic. I really can't help myself from wanting to sleep. How could Professor Spence talk so hypnotically." When it came to subjects that she was not good at, Elvira also had a breakdown.

Doris was a little unconfident, "I don't think I'm all right. The most dangerous courses are Charms and Potions. I panic when Professor Snape stands near me."

"All? Are you so unconfident?" Christie gave Doris a strange look, "Maybe it can be like this, why don't we use the time before the exam and study together. Everyone has homework that they are good at and not good at, so Can we study together to learn from each other's strengths?"

After everyone nodded and approved the proposal, Christie took the lead, "Then I'll be in charge of magic spells? My family has a deep background, and I'm good at magic spells. And Aurora can be in charge of potions. We only use her potions here." most."

"Okay." Sylvia thought for a while, "Then I'll use Transfiguration."

Elvira picked up a piece of fruit cake with a fork and brought it to her mouth, and said, "Then let me take herbal medicine class."

"Then..." Doris said hesitantly, "Then my history of magic?"

"No problem. In this way, only Defense Against the Dark Arts, flight lessons and astronomy are left." Seeing that no one spoke, Aurora interrupted the silence, "I can take charge of another astronomy."

Christie pointed to herself and Sylvia, "The two of us can be in charge of flying lessons. You must know that we are all future Quidditch seed players, so there is only Defense Against the Dark Arts left..."

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay. Everyone didn't listen to the Defense Against the Dark Arts class. They were either distracted in class or couldn't stand the rotten smell mixed with the garlic smell on Quirrell's body.Aurora made the final decision, "Let's learn Defense Against the Dark Arts by ourselves, and if you don't understand something, let's discuss it together."

The author has something to say: Sherlock’s birthday: January 1th (most sources say it is this day, although it cannot be studied, but it is still decided to use this day in the article.)
