[HP] Butterfly Effect

After bringing Aurora to the school hospital, Snape left quickly, Madam Pomfrey carefully bandaged Aurora's hands.

It happened to be lunch time when they walked out of the school hospital, and the students were walking towards the restaurant in twos and threes, and Aurora also met Vaux and Bill at the entrance of the restaurant.

"Please, tell me your hands aren't because of that damn newspaper this morning," Vox said, frowning at her white gauze-covered hands.

It seems that the other party thinks that she has self-harmed because of the blow this time.Aurora sighed inwardly, then shook her hand, and replied solemnly: "Of course not. This is the most popular gauze glove method this year. I begged Madam Pomfrey for a long time to get them, you guys Boys won't understand."

Bill laughed after listening, his blue eyes narrowed slightly, and he shrugged his shoulders easily: "You can still joke, it seems that the mood is not too bad, so we can rest assured. But are your hands really okay?"

"I'm really fine, it's just an accident." Aurora put away the playful joke and replied seriously.Vox wrinkled his nose and spread his hands towards his roommate: "I'll just tell you, she won't say anything, just say 'I'm fine, don't worry' over and over again. It's been like this since I was a child."

"Then when do you think I really have a problem?"

"...that's true."

"Don't worry, I've already experienced the most incredible thing in this world, and it's hard to break me down."

"The most incredible thing?"

Aurora looked at her gauze-wrapped hands. When she clenched her fists, she could feel the bruises and scars on the back of her hands tearing at each other. The clear dull pain was like those branches were still whipping her skin.Then, under Vox's and Bill's curious gazes, she said slowly, in a slightly tongue-in-cheek tone with a sort of secretiveness: "Open your eyes and come into this world."

The eyelids of the two lion cubs drooped halfway in contempt, and their clear and beautiful eyes cast distrustful glances at her.

"It sounds like a funny philosophical proposition," Vaux commented.

"It seems that we really don't have to worry too much." Bill said.

"So enjoy your weekend. Enjoy your lunch."

After finishing speaking, Aurora briskly walked to Hufflepuff's long table and began to enjoy the food in front of her.

After the meal, she borrowed Vaux's owl, Hastings, to send a message to Hagrid, telling him that she was sorry that something had happened and that she couldn't wait for him at the cabin. She had returned to the castle safely, and hoped The spiders just wanted to have a winter swim, so they came out in groups.Anyway, pray for peace.

Hagrid's reply arrived soon, telling Aurora that everything was fine in the Forbidden Forest, and hoped that she would get well soon, both physically and mentally.

Everyone seemed to be feeling depressed about Edmund.The truth is, however, that this is only a tiny fraction.She was never a great emotional sculptor and couldn't pretend to be devastated by someone she hadn't even met, and the best thing to do was to talk less and look up, so that people would think she was all over the place. Up and down is full of embarrassing sadness, just like she should be as Field's "biological daughter".

It's a pity that her feelings as a fake are far less intense than that of the real daughter. Even after disappearing for so many years, the remaining instincts still make Aurora feel physically tired and heavy.She sometimes wondered, if it was the real Aurora Field, what would it be like to know about this?

The misunderstanding of being indifferent for many years was finally resolved. The father who had always resented him was a brave man, just like other members of the Order of the Phoenix who died, but when the day his daughter understood, he was already gone.

Merlin, listening to this makes me feel like weeping.No wonder everyone felt that they should cry like crazy, or that they were too depressed to become what they are now, which is not incomprehensible.

What's even more tragic is that the real Aurora Field had already died in the drowning incident seven years ago, and she let herself, a lonely ghost, take advantage of it somehow.

Thinking of this, Aurora rested her chin on her arm, picked up a pen and slowly wrote in Salazar's diary: "Mr. Slytherin, if... I mean if. If one day you wake up and find You became another complete stranger, what would you do?"

Salazar replied nonchalantly: "Then good luck to the enemies of the original owner of the body."

The corner of Aurora's mouth twitched, it was indeed very Slytherin.

Time flows in the clear rainwater that is gradually warming up, and the land that has shed its white snow coat is filled with more and more vibrant tender green and colorful flowers day by day.

In May, the Year [-] students are already preparing to leave school.Traditionally, there will be a farewell party for graduates.

The weather was exceptionally fine that day, and the farewell party was set outside the castle, facing the Black Lake, and an open-air music performance was held, with the main performers being children from lower grades.

At the end of the performance, the seventh-grade graduate representatives sang "The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face" in unison, facing the Hogwarts castle in front of them, just like when they first entered school.

Before the song was over, Headmaster Sprout had hugged the Hufflepuffs who were about to leave.When many girls with delicate emotions sang the first sentence, their voices began to tremble and drop, and finally meandered and drooped into bursts of low crying.

At this time, all the students who were not in class ran out to watch the concert. Aurora and Beverly lay on the balcony on the second floor of the castle and looked down. They saw the Badger Lion Eagle Snake Court from right to left , vividly interprets what it means to gradually reduce tears.The Slytherins on the far left stood neatly next to Snape, only a few who hadn't found a suitable job had a look of anxiety on their faces, and the faces of the rest of the graduates were almost all eager to try Or alienated and indifferent.

It is difficult for you to capture even the slightest sadness and reluctance from their beautiful young faces that have not completely faded away. This kind of rich, sensual and overly exposed emotion is too different from the dark green academy medals on their chests. match.

Aurora now understood why, on all occasions, the students of Slytherin and Hufflepuff stood at the two ends of the whole school.The contrast between the two academies is too great, and standing too close will create an overly dramatic contrast, and it is also the kind of comedy effect.

So at the end, in the entire valedictorian singing session, only Slytherin and Ravenclaw really sang the song.The Gryffindors were reluctant, and the Hufflepuffs were crying.

The result was that what was originally a gentle and long romantic country music song was abruptly sung by representatives of the Snake Academy and the Eagle Academy in an aggressive and positive way.It seemed that they were not saying goodbye to Hogwarts, but were calmly planning how to take it down.

Aurora watched the music performance on the lawn not far away and endured it again and again, but still felt like laughing.

But other factors aside, the song itself is pretty good.

The junior ensembles are still dutifully performing according to the unfinished score, and the brisk and soulful music is still reverberating.More and more people joined the singing, and the singing from the castle became more and more clear: "The first time ever Isaw your face. I thought the sun rose in your eyes..."

Such a scene is so touching, Aurora gradually began to shake her head and hum along with the rhythm: "Andthe moon and stars were the gifts youg etothedark and the empty skies, my love..."

When the music ended, the children in the castle were waving to the graduates, sending them off on the lawn with crisp and sweet "goodbye".

Class after class, students come and go, and spring after spring goes and comes again.Hogwarts is still here, faithfully recording the growth and past of everyone here.

After the show is over, there is a new beginning, endless life.

……

In Aurora's second year at the wizarding school, the House Cup still belonged to Slytherin.At the school leaving banquet, after Dumbledore announced the results, he said jokingly that this would be the best, and he didn't need to change the flag above the restaurant.

A week before the official start of the summer vacation, Aurora wrote a greeting letter to Mrs. Brent at the Magic Pet Shop in Diagon Alley, asking if she still needed a summer vacation assistant.

Mrs. Brent replied quickly, saying that the position of shop assistant was still vacant. After all, there are not many people who can endure so many noisy and energetic magic pets, and even fewer can make them all obedient. up.

It was because Mrs. Brent's son and daughter-in-law happened to be back from France that Aurora had to find a place for herself.She prefers a rented house in Muggle society, as she can save relatively more money that way.

Thinking of this, Aurora took Salazar's diary out of the drawer while carefully checking whether there was any omission in her luggage, and was going to put it directly into the close-fitting satchel at the end.

Then, she saw the book written by the three founders of the school that she had borrowed from Professor Flitwick before, and it was still lying in it.

Aurora thought about it, and took it out to return to Professor Flitwick.Although I have kept this book here for half a school year, I haven't read it completely, mainly because Potions is too cruel.

Stuck in a compulsory course throughout, Aurora felt that her whole body began to ache from the trigeminal nerve.

She sighed, and just as she casually put the book on the table, she was overturned to the ground by Brett who jumped off the shelf.The heavy book hit the ground with a muffled sound, and the already brittle ancient parchment bloomed instantly like a flower under the fast-forward camera, shaking off the beautiful handwriting inside.

Aurora quickly picked it up and checked whether it was broken.After confirming that the book was not damaged, she breathed a sigh of relief, and then shoved Brett, who was still meowing, into the cage, while Chajuan stood on the little girl's shoulder and stuck out her tongue at it.

Carrying the luggage and rushing to the first floor, Aurora put the suitcases in the place where they were picked up at the beginning of school, and then walked towards Professor Flitwick's office with the books in her arms.

It was time for the train to leave, and the boarding gate was crowded with people.Aurora stood aside with several other lower grade students, quietly waiting for the crowd to pass.As soon as the car door opened, Vaux and Bill were squeezed into the car first, while Aurora was left behind by the crowd because of her small stature.

Of course, by the time she got into the car, there was no room for anyone to sit in the car.

The train started to start slowly, Aurora carried Brett in her arms and carried the suitcase, and walked unsteadily in the aisle, looking for a vacant seat.The excess weight made it difficult for her to maintain her balance.

So when the train picked up speed again, Aurora shook violently, and Brett instinctively jumped out of her arms, and got into the gap where the door of the next carriage hadn't had time to close.

"Brett!" Aurora dragged the suitcase and hurriedly opened the sliding door in front of her, and saw her black cat sitting dignifiedly on the table inside, combing her hair with her tongue and scratching her head with her paws.

There is no one in this compartment.Or rather, no one except their potions professor in black.

Snape shook the newspaper in his hand, letting it hang down halfway in front of him, then saw the surprised little girl standing at the door, raised her eyebrows inadvertently.

"Uh, Professor?" So it's because of Snape sitting here that no one dares to come in... This carriage looks like a ghostly empty space in the train that is already overcrowded.

Aurora looked into the carriages on both sides of her, and there were no empty seats on the left and right, except for the one in front of her.She pursed her lips and pointed to the empty seat opposite Snape: "I really can't find another seat in the car, can I go with you?"

Snape nodded knowingly, and followed his movements to shake the newspaper in his hand towards the brown leather seat opposite: "Of course, please." Then, he continued to put the newspaper upright.

"Thank you." After Aurora finished speaking, she took off the satchel on her shoulder and put it on the seat, then lifted the suitcase with great effort and lifted it above her head, ready to stuff it into the shelf on the top of the compartment.

Then she fell silent.

The shelf is too high.

Aurora took a deep breath and began to step on her feet secretly.It was still a short distance away, though, and her arms were trembling from lifting the weight upwards.

The gradually sweaty palms could no longer hold the suitcase. Just a second before Aurora felt that she might be smashed into amnesia, a hand reached out from behind to hold the suitcase firmly for her, and then stuffed it easily. Into the overhead shelf.

She turned her head and saw Snape looking down at herself, and said without any ups and downs: "If you're not going to lift your suitcases and shoot yourself in the foot, next time you'd better put them within your reach." The place."

"Thank you." She scratched her head and reached for the satchel on the seat with her weak hand.Half of Salazar's diary slipped out unexpectedly, and the silver metal at the corner shone dazzlingly in the interlaced light that filled the carriage.Aurora froze for half a second, then stuffed it back calmly, and sat on the seat with the satchel in her arms.

When Snape saw the diary, he moved his fingers, his eyes became dark and sharp: "That's not your diary, it looks quite old." This time he didn't feel the fluctuation of black magic, but his Intuition told him that this diary would not be very simple.

"No." Aurora shook her head, a golden spot of warm light came in from the window and flowed on her hand, without any warmth.She replied half-truthfully, "It belonged to my father."

After hearing this, Snape's eyes fluctuated slightly as she wished, and he sat back in his seat: "Did he hand it to you personally?"

"Not really, I found it by accident at home. I think it should belong to my father." This is not too false.You must know that lying in front of Snape, especially in the compartment with only the two of them, is a test of mental quality.

"Really? Maybe you should know that it's better not to use things whose origins can't be completely determined." He looked at Aurora with his chin raised slightly, and picked up the newspaper again.Because of the angle, the rays of the setting sun couldn't reach Snape at all.He and Aurora sat facing each other, separated by only a table, one person covered in brilliance, the other in deep darkness.

"You are right."

Snape glanced at her, did not answer, and began to read the newspaper intently.

With no one to talk to, Aurora quickly fell asleep on the rickety train.She leaned her head against the window, barely opened her eyes and watched the flowing forest and wilderness scenery outside the car window, the background was the sky at dusk, and the distant place was as brilliant as burning.This is extremely rare for a country like the UK, which is soaked in cloud and rain all year round.Alternating mottled light and shadow colors are mellow and gentle, reminiscent of some peaceful and quiet old movies.

Moisture-laden gray clouds are pressing closer in the east, and those sharp rays of light are starting to look a little weak under the increasingly obvious decline.

She fell asleep in a daze for a while, and didn't wake up until the train stopped at a platform whose name was not clear.Then she saw that Snape had finished packing and stood up leisurely.

"Are you there?"

"You'd better ask the flight attendant if you overslept." Snape said, helping Aurora take off the suitcase, "If you go to Diagon Alley, then you'd better keep the next half hour wide awake."

Aurora looked at him in surprise, then saw in front of her a letter from Mrs. Brent, the magical pet shop.It was originally placed in her satchel, and it should have accidentally fallen out just before.

She wanted to say something, but the other party had already left.

At this time, Salazar's diary suddenly opened automatically, and the Snake Ancestor inside looked more majestic than ever before: "Your Potions Professor?"

"Yeah, he's also the head of Slytherin, I should have said?"

Salazar crumbles Aurora's words, and lines of dancing fire rise from around the shards of words, annihilating them all: "I don't have dementia yet, don't repeat this."

"What's wrong with you?" Aurora felt a little wrong.

Salazar pondered for a moment, then wrote on the page in a very dignified and formal handwriting: "If I were you, I would stay away from him."

"Why? He is still the dean of your college. Is it really good to say that?"

"This has nothing to do with the academy." Salazar burned Aurora's words, his handwriting was black and sharp, like a dull blade cutting on the paper, and the shadow behind it flowed out, "Remember my words. Just take what you said before What about the status of a former Death Eater, the worlds of the two of you are completely different, and it will be bad luck for you to approach him."

After Aurora read this sentence, the train started to start slowly again.She suddenly looked out the window, and saw that tall and somewhat thin black figure was drifting away from her, under the dark blue sky, floating alone like a ghost.The light cast Aurora's image on the window, and she saw that her eyes were slowly losing each other.

"I see. But I still wonder why you suddenly have this opinion."

"He can vaguely perceive the unusualness of my diary. Although he is still very uncertain, he has certain suspicions. Based on this alone, you should stay as far away from him as possible."

...Who was so vindictive at the time for the automatic exposure, and now he has come to educate her... Besides, it seems impossible that she and Snape have any deep intersection, right?

"If you get close to this kind of person, one day, you will be picked up by him."

"...It does sound cruel, but how do I feel that you are right, and you are the most dangerous one?" Which one is more terrifying, the founder of Slytherin or the current dean?

This is definitely a proposition.She didn't want to try it at all.

Salazar sneered, looking very hideous: "Then you can cry in the future, and don't blame me for not reminding you."

So, is this a British horror story of two Slytherin heads secretly probing each other?

Then why does it sound like the only one who is unlucky is me?Obviously she is not from Slytherin... This is really very...

Aurora suddenly wanted to find a slot to lie down.

The author has something to say:

Do you have a long comment today [rubbing hands expectantly]

When the first and second fight, the third will always be injured.

For example, Wang Laoji and Jia Duobao started fighting, and He Qizheng disappeared.Apple and Huawei got involved, and Nokia fell to the ground.Coca-Cola and Pepsi had a fight, and the very Coke was gone.

So from this, if Salazar and Snape pinched each other, what would disappear would be... [touch chin]
