[HP] Butterfly Effect

Early in the morning, as soon as Beverly arrived at Lihen Bookstore, she saw Aurora holding a ginger-colored long-handled umbrella, standing in a daze at the door of the bookstore's steps that hadn't opened yet.The transparent heavy rain splashed down from her umbrella, and the fine raindrops wet the ends of her long hair.

She wasn't wearing a raincoat, or even wellies.She just rolled up her dark blue jeans, exposing her white and slender ankles, and the rainwater with mud and sand was dotted against her skin.The toes of the cloth shoes were soaked in black muddy water.

"Good morning, Aurora." Beverly walked over, "Why are you so early?"

"Oh, I'm here to borrow some books. About..." Aurora thought for a while, as if struggling to find a suitable word to describe what she was looking for.

Then, she suddenly approached Beverly, and the sloping umbrella pulled a rippling rain curtain from behind her: "Do you know which books in your store are about the four founders of our school?"

"Are you interested in them?"

"Ah, that's right. Anyway, there's nothing to do recently, and school will start soon, let's go and have a look."

"Then I suggest you borrow some books on potion science, which is more urgent and practical."

"..."

After some searching, Aurora got a library card under the stunned eyes of the clerks with that iconic impeccable smile, and dragged the heavy books back to the magic pet store opposite.

Unfortunately, Aurora couldn't figure it out until the day the school started.These documents are too official, and the chronology of major events is selected for artistic processing and rhetorical polishing, which has no practical value at all.

But the Salazar in the diary in front of him is far more vivid than the one in the book.

After testing each other for the last half month, Aurora found that apart from the fact that this diary once belonged to—or that the person attached to it was Salazar, which made people feel creepy, everything else was quite normal.Of course, in Salazar's words, it is thanks to Aurora not being affected by the magic he left in this diary for some unknown reasons, otherwise he would have gone crazy by now.

Whenever this topic is mentioned, the snake on the parchment will look at Aurora with a particularly sinister look, but there is a weird smile on the corner of its mouth, which looks like the kind The malevolent wizard of the world has become the same.And Aurora trembled every time she saw her at the beginning, and she has cultivated to the point of indifference later.

She sometimes admires her adaptability.It may be that she already had the experience of coming to a new world with few memories left. Three days after Salazar appeared, Aurora was able to barely return to her original rhythm of life.

Charollan is obviously full of interest in this new diary that can move, and his slender and skinny fingers are always curiously trying to poke the snake of Salazar.When this dangerous behavior was carried out for the third time, the long-planned Snake Ancestor did not hesitate to use the diary when the tea roll was close to a suitable distance, and wrapped it into a sandwich, almost wrapping the poor little one. Things squashed.

From then on, Chajuan trembled when she saw this diary, and she couldn't get down on top of Aurora's head.

The black cat Brett was much bigger, and it was unrealistic to make sandwiches, so Salazar simply enlarged the slender little snake to the entire page when it rubbed its nose against itself, and even every piece of hard The smooth scales, the terrifying golden vertical pupils, and the sharp fangs are all portrayed so vividly.

Brett screamed and exploded in an instant, and bounced himself out in a panic.Then it unfortunately fell into the owl cage, crushed two owl eggs, was pecked by the furious and frightened birds, and never dared to approach the diary again.

In this way, Salazar established an unshakable dominance in this magic pet shop in less than 10 minutes.

However, Aurora also discovered from this that Salazar is actually a person who calculates very well and is afraid of trouble.When he drove away Chajuan and Brett, he used some direct but very effective methods. The methods were simple and rude, and he really didn't waste any unnecessary magic.

She was very glad that Salazar had not discovered her fear of snakes for the time being, otherwise even if she would not be affected by the magic of the diary, she would be like Brett, scared by the poisonous snakes that suddenly filled the pages for several days, even walking smoothly abduct.

But thanks to Salazar, Chajuan and Brett finally let go of their prejudice against each other, and began to hold together and tremble together.Seeing the two little things coexisting peacefully and loving each other, Aurora showed a relieved smile.

A week later, she tentatively asked Salazar if she would take him back to the Knockturn Alley shop herself.However, Snake Zu, who had been bored for more than 1000 years and finally found a normal chat partner, obviously did not agree with this proposal. He flattened those words with the tip of his tail, hooked them up, and put them into his mouth, swallowing them like noodles, lazily halfway. Squinting the snake's eyes, he wrote a sentence: "What are you afraid of? The magic I left on it doesn't work on you. Could it be possible to crawl out and eat you?"

But it's not a question of magic working or not, Mr. Slytherin.Just your identity is enough to scare people to tears, not to mention others, holding this diary is really a test of psychological endurance.

Aurora thought for a while, and half-sincerely and half-jokingly wrote on the paper with a quill: "I just feel panicked, you should be able to understand the excitement of an ordinary student meeting one of the founders of the school. You should To be placed on a high counter to be admired, not to be chatting with a second-grader at a small desk like this."

She thought for a while, and then continued to write as if remembering something: "I think the center of the dome in the Slytherin common room is good, you can chat with them every day about life and ideals, what a joy. Maybe I can introduce you to the current dean of your college?"

Conscience of heaven and earth, these words are definitely a humorous joke of a 12-year-old girl.But Salazar obviously understood another meaning, he sneered and threw those words into a ball with his tail: "Then you go to the door every day to pray that I don't die well?"

Aurora closed her eyes and rolled her eyeballs, as if she rolled her eyes.A normal Hufflepuff wouldn't hang out in the Slytherin common room as long as his head wasn't stuffed with sprayroot, let alone every day.The saddest thing is that when the other party is one of the founders of Hogwarts, Aurora feels that even Dumbledore's card cannot give her comfort.

The last days of the summer vacation passed quickly like the sand between fingers. Aurora packed her luggage a few days before the start of school and got the summer salary settled by Mrs. Brent.The day before school started, she received a list of books for the new school year, and she used the money she just got to carry a thick stack back to her residence.

In the new school year, as always, he had to study Potions, and this discovery made Aurora heave a long sigh.She had received her report card before, Herbology and Transfiguration were expected to be excellent, other subjects were mediocre, and Potions had a low score. She couldn't count how many times she stepped on Snape's bottom line.If it continued in the coming year, she would not dare to think about that scene.

So in the spirit of the stupid bird flying first, she decided to read the book by herself first.But the moment she opened the book, she regretted it. She knew all the words individually, and they were very metaphysical when combined. This made her wonder whether it was her comprehension ability or her English level.

After eleven o'clock in the evening, Aurora lay on the table staring at the Potions textbook in front of her, and began to think about the meaning of her life at Hogwarts.The dark green diary at hand slowly opened, and the parchment looked even older and mottled under the hazy yellow scattered light.Salazar swam to the corner of the page, raised his head and glanced at the textbook, and threw out a series of sentences: "You are not sleeping yet, do you want to memorize this book before school starts?"

Aurora rolled her eyes, rested her chin on her arm, blew away the pale golden hair hanging in front of her eyes, and wrote: "If only I could memorize it. This class is my nemesis... "

Salazar raised his chin, dragged a teacup out of the paper with the tip of his tail, crumbled the sentences and put them into a cup of tea, and took a sip: "How difficult is it for a second grader?" go?"

Aurora clogged her throat with a mouthful of blood: "It may be so for you, Mr. Slytherin. Why don't you pretend to be the subject you hate and are not good at?"

Even though Salazar has become a snake, the movement of drinking tea still has a smooth elegance.He blinked, poured the remaining tea leaves on the paper, and gathered them into one sentence: "I have no subjects that I am not good at."

Aurora's eyes darkened, and she almost couldn't hang herself up to see Merlin.The snake flicked its tail and looked at the little girl proudly, with its vertical pupils half closed.For a moment, Aurora felt the malice from the Slytherin house—from the founder to the current dean.

She pursed her lips and stopped paying attention to the overly laid-back Mr. Founder.

"It's not as good as this." Salazar wrote the sentence slowly, and the font became the creepy gorgeous and graceful one when we first met, with slender and flexible strokes winding like snakes, "You have such a headache. class, I can help you with tutoring."

"What do you want me to do for you?" Aurora wrote back alertly.She suddenly had a feeling that what Salazar was about to write was what he really wanted to say in the past half month.

"Nothing." Salazar casually rolled up Aurora's handwriting into a bouquet of roses, then tore it up and ate it. "I haven't figured it out yet, you owe it first."

Being in debt to a Slytherin was not an easy task by any means.Especially when the opponent is Slytherin among Slytherins.

Aurora thought about it and wrote: "My ability is limited, are you sure you want me to promise you one thing? What if I can't do it? Are you losing money?"

Salazar smiled sullenly, and shook the thin forked tongue at her threateningly: "These two months of work have not been in vain, and you can learn quickly by bargaining and testing the bottom line." Aurora moved subconsciously. Moving the chair away from the diary, "I'm thinking of you, I'm afraid you will regret it in the future."

"Then I should thank you?" The snake hissed and spit out the letter with his eyes wide open.

"...No, this is what students should do." This is definitely the most instinctive desire to survive.

Salazar ate the last letter with a sneer, and swished out a sentence: "Then it's a deal." The next second, the diary closed automatically with a snap, leaving Aurora sitting there dumbfounded. Very bad feeling.

……

On the morning of September [-]st, Aurora arrived at platform nine and three quarters of King's Cross station on time.

As expected, she met a Vaux whom she hadn't seen in the summer vacation, and the two children embraced happily.Beverly had gone back the day before, so the three of them met directly at the station when they came early in the morning.Aurora saw Regulus come to see her off, and the two had very little conversation, after all, they were not talkative people.

Unlike the last time we met in Diagon Alley, this time Regulus wrapped himself up tightly, leaving only a pair of beautiful gray eyes outside.When looking at his eyes alone, he and Sirius are surprisingly similar.The difference is that Regulus' figure is thinner and not so tall than Sirius' figure in the impression.

As soon as she got on the train, Beverly said: "Professor Dumbledore came to look for him." Vaux blinked: "Him?"

Aurora looked at the silent and melancholy man outside the window. The man's eyelashes were very long and dense, and the color of his pupils could hardly be seen when his eyes were half down.Sensing that someone was looking at him, Regulus raised his head and exchanged glances with Aurora.His eyes narrowed slightly, the corners of his eyes slightly curved, as if smiling silently.

The train left, and Beverly briefly talked about the situation that day, and outlined a general idea in a few words.After hearing this, Vox scratched his head: "Professor Dumbledore can make a trip in person, your guardian may have an unusual status."

People in the Black family, even distant relatives, are very unusual. This is common sense.

After returning to Hogwarts, Aurora sent Remus a letter. After thinking about it, she still didn't include the fact that she found Salazar's diary, so as not to scare him when the time came.After finishing writing, she went to find Vaux outside the door of the Gryffindor lounge, and asked him to help deliver the letter to Hastings the owl to take away.

She was lucky, as soon as she arrived, she met Bill Weasley who was about to enter the lounge, and the other party happily helped Aurora.When Vaux came out, he still carried a box made of hard brown paper, which was filled with fine mechanical works that he had tinkered with at home during the summer vacation, and gave Bill as a gift.He remembered that Bill's father was fond of these Muggle gadgets.

Bill is very interested in the little thing that can fly around the room for a while when it is wound up and then unwound. It is a pity that there is no way to experiment with other electronic mechanisms in Hogwarts, otherwise Vaux would be happy to demonstrate it for him .

"You must come to my house this Christmas, both of you must go!" Bill patted Vaux on the shoulder, fondly playing with the little thing, "I bet, my dad will love your invention."

"Then thank you in advance."

After returning to school, Aurora's life became monotonous and regular again.Bill persevered in instilling in Vaux the charms of Quidditch, but in the end it always had little effect. After all, you can't expect a person with a fear of heights to have much liking for this sport.

On Wednesday, the Hufflepuffs had their first Potions class of the term.According to Bill and Vox's description, Professor Snape was as gloomy as ever, but it seemed that because he was rejected for the position of Defense Against the Dark Arts, his face looked even worse.

Aurora took a bite of the berry bread and found it quite understandable.For a cautious and arrogant person like Snape, once he makes a move, he is fully prepared and confident in all likelihood. It is conceivable how shocked and angry he was when he was rejected.

During the first few weeks of school, Salazar did what he said and helped Aurora with potions lessons.But to be honest, it's a good thing that Aurora didn't have the idea of ​​changing the teacher to change the mood at the beginning, after all, the snake ancestor's diction was as sharp as Snape's.

She didn't know how these two people could use the properties of potion materials to invisibly damage people to pieces, but she was also sure of one thing:

Although there are no documents to record how outstanding Salazar Slytherin's potion talent is, there is no way to compare their too young dean and their founder in the field of potion science, who is superior in the field of potion science.

But Aurora didn't care.

Because, no matter which of them is more talented, it has nothing to do with me.Anyway, I definitely don't have one, Aurora is very sure.

And it makes sense for Snape to be the head of Slytherin at the age of 21. Just because he and Salazar speak in such a similar way, it is unreasonable not to be the head of Slytherin.

Thinking of this, the little girl sighed.

Life, maybe this is life.

However, fortunately, not everything is full of pessimism. At least after getting along for more than two months, Aurora discovered one of Salazar's characteristics-obsessive-compulsive disorder.He had to keep the parchment he was on clean, so he would eat all the handwriting that didn't belong to him.

Snake Ancestor has his own opinions and explanations for this. He feels that Aurora's handwriting is really unrefined, too childish and clumsy.But Aurora didn't tell him that, in fact, every time I saw Salazar's ER font branched from Copperplate English calligraphy, I felt that this person was really flamboyant.

With this discovery, Aurora immediately felt that getting along with the founder became easier.Of course it's just her unilateral feeling.

Because when Salazar sneered at Aurora with half-closed snake eyes, Aurora found a way to drive him crazy.After obediently and selectively writing down what Salazar said, she would use a quill pen to fill with thick black ink, and then paint around Salazar's surroundings with her abstract and wild masterpieces of soul, and then give it to the audience with a smile. The stunned Snake Zu explained the connotation of his works, generally speaking, he would rise to the realm of paying tribute to Van Gogh.

what a pity.Seeing the way Salazar swallowed those graffiti into his mouth in extreme anger, Aurora knew that he had no resonance with Van Gogh.

Maybe he would like realism?After all, Slytherin is known for its rigorous elegance.

For some reason, she suddenly thought of their always cold potions master, Professor Snape.

Then she was a little surprised that she could remember the other person's appearance so clearly, not the deep impression of his appearance, but the deep impression of his character and casual habits.

Aurora was taken aback by her own thoughts, and the last drop of ink fell on the page of the diary, and was smashed into a pitch-black flower by Salazar with the tip of her tail.

"Why are you in a daze?" Salazar raised his chin, "Are you thinking about your little Gryffindor lover? Your eyes... tsk tsk tsk."

From the perspective of the academy, it is normal for Salazar to have this evaluation.

Aurora didn't recover, and wrote a sentence casually: "Which Gryffindor are you talking about?" Bill or Vox?

"..."

But Salazar was right to remind her that she was indeed a bit baffled.Aurora shook her head, erasing the tall, thin figure from her mind.

The author has something to say:

Why... the interaction with the professor was stuck, but the interaction with Salazar was smoother.This unscientific……
