[HP] Butterfly Effect

The owl flew over from the end of the gray-blue dark clouds in the twilight of the morning light at the end of October. After putting down the letter, it flapped its wings and left.

Snape took the letter and looked at it. It was a reply letter sent from the potion material shop in Diagon Alley. It should be related to the Winged Demon venom he wrote two days ago to inquire about.This venom can eliminate some painful memories through proper dilution, and he intends to use it to assist in the treatment of Regulus' current situation.

"Dear Professor Snape, we have received the letter you wrote two days ago, but our store does not have the stock of Winged Demon venom to provide, so we did not reply in time. We have tried every possible means in these two days I tried my best to search for it, but the venom of this magical creature was too rare to buy in a short time.

We apologize for this and look forward to seeing you again. "

As I imagined, the venom of the Winged Demon is difficult to buy in the current market.Apart from Diagon Alley, there may be some potion shops in Knockturn Alley, but most of the quality is shoddy, and some are simply faked with other potions.

There may be such precious raw materials in the hands of some wizard traders who resell magical creatures, but it is not an easy task to obtain its venom from the mouth of a living magical creature that specializes in sucking human brains for a living.

He put the letter into the cardboard box on the table and left the cellar towards the dining room.

Today was the weekend, only the lower grades were in the cafeteria, and the upper grades basically went to Hogsmeade.When Snape first arrived, the professors in the faculty chair were discussing something enthusiastically, and the central figure of the topic was obviously Professor Keitel.

"Hey, Severus, you came just in time. Keitel happened to be talking about his experience in Hogsmeade yesterday." Professor Flitwick waved him enthusiastically.Snape wasn't interested in joining in the fun, preferring to go back and brew some potions leisurely rather than huddled and chatting with his colleagues.However, he politely followed Flitwick's words and asked symbolically, "What's the matter?"

Flitwick explained to him in a few words: "Yesterday Keitel met a guy who sold moon monsters in the Pig's Head Bar. He managed to save a few of them, and now those little guys are shivering in the Forbidden Forest. They It's so embarrassing."

"They are so cute, their personalities are very docile and harmless, and they will come out to dance when the moon is full." Keitel happily said to Professor McGonagall beside him, while imitating the movements of the moon idiots in a funny way .

"Have there always been people who resell magical creatures in the Pig's Head Bar?" Snape tilted his head and asked in a flat tone.Keitel sighed: "Yeah, there are often some dangerous creatures. I have seen someone selling Billywig bugs."

He has always been very disgusted with this kind of selling of magical animals, because usually those vendors don't treat these creatures very well, and it is common to bruise them all over.Although today's wizarding world has changed a lot about many magical creatures because of Newt's relationship, there is no doubt that this kind of reselling is still everywhere.

Sometimes even because the vendors neglected to take care of the magical creatures they got, and let them escape, it would easily pose a threat to the surrounding Muggle cities and Muggles, which in turn increased the risk of exposure to the wizarding world.This is why there is still a small group of conservatives who still believe that all magical creatures should be executed.

Snape nodded slightly, but said nothing.Maybe try your luck at the Hog's Head, he thought.If it really doesn't work, then I can only pray that Regulus can get used to it as soon as possible and enjoy the nightmare-like pain that must be experienced to restore his memory.

Thinking about it this way, he suddenly felt that no matter whether he gained anything from going out this time, he would still be in a good mood.

……

It first started from the southwest sky, and the slightly bright, thick gray-blue began to invade the sky on a large scale, inch by inch like a slowly shaking luxurious carpet, crowding out the already thin and fragile light in autumn , gloomy pressure on the top of the head.The temperature in the air gradually dropped, and a cold heavy rain or sleet was rolling and brewing in the gradually thickening water vapor.

The misty water mist slowly climbed up the window of the Three Broomsticks due to the widening temperature difference. Aurora wiped it with the sleeve of the apricot sweater she was wearing, and the scene outside became clear again for a short time.Hogsmeade is located above the snow line of the mountains, and it is a dreamlike world of ice and snow even in midsummer, let alone now.Looking around, the eyes are gray and blue, and the snow is everywhere.

The bar today was crowded with people as usual, Aurora helped Remus deliver various drinks to the guests, Vox and Bill went to the Honeydukes candy store to buy some candies for the upcoming Halloween.While the house-elves were very good at their craft, it was clear that Honeydukes' candies were more popular among the students.

After working for a while, Remus invited Aurora to take a break and have a drink by the way: "How about the cherry juice?" "Okay, thank you." Aurora nodded with a smile.

"How's school going? How are you and Vox?"

"It's the same, but Professor Dumbledore seems to be very busy recently, and he is often away from school, what about you?"

"me too."

The two of them were drinking and chatting slowly, but the door of the bar was suddenly opened again, and the slightly biting cold wind rolled in the snowflakes, blowing on the face a little painful.

Aurora stretched his hands to loosen the pale golden hair that was blown to his lips, and turned his head to see a tall man who was wrapped from head to toe in a thick black felt cloak that was airtight, coming in, surrounded by translucent mist Floating out of his mask, he was as pale as snow outside.

He walked to the stool in front of the counter and sat down, put the heavy backpack on his shoulders into his arms, and crushed the crystal crystals that fell from the cuffs with his fingers.He took out his jug from his arms and put it on the table: "Fill it with grain wine and boil some."

"Okay, please wait a moment." After Remus finished speaking, he went to the kitchen behind him to get the wine.

Sitting very close to him, Aurora smelled a strong smell of tobacco, a smell of burnt wormwood, and a not-so-obvious smell of rust. The combination made her want to cough.The warmth in the bar began to melt the snow particles on his body, little by little gathered together to soak the clothes, and spread downward.

She took a sip of the cherry juice, and suddenly a very small and strange sound broke into her ears, as if something was struggling desperately.

Aurora followed the voice and looked into the backpack of the man next to him. There seemed to be something moving inside, and the faint voice also came from inside.She just wanted to get a closer look, but met a pair of cold and fierce light-colored eyes, like a pair of glass beads, with obvious vigilance and sharpness.It seemed that he thought Aurora, who was trying to approach his backpack, was a potential thief.

"I'm sorry." Aurora apologized, and took the initiative to move her stool away from the man.

That voice is still there.Aurora heard him fretfully and quickly tightening the straps of the backpack, and the sound of the cloth rubbing violently was as smooth as a sword being drawn out of its sheath.

His backpack was quiet.

Remus pushed the door out from the kitchen, and handed the jug already filled with hot wine to the tall man in black: "The grain wine you asked for, thank you for coming."

The man put a few Yin Kexi and Nat on the table, put the wine jug back into his coat, turned around and left neatly, and accidentally bumped into Vaux and the others who just pushed the door in when he went out.

"Aurora... ahhhhh!"

Vox felt hit by something unusually sharp, his arm hurt badly, and the chocolate in his hand was scattered all over the floor.But the man didn't seem to see it, and quickly went out and disappeared.Beverly frowned and looked at him expressionlessly, sniffed something left in the air, and said softly: "The smell on him is so strange."

"This man is really rude." Bill frowned and glanced at the already blurred back, "Are you okay?"

"I am fine."

"What's the matter?" Aurora ran over, waved her wand to make the candies and chocolates float up, shook herself clean, and jumped into the carton in Vox's hand again.Vox shook his numb arm: "It's okay, I was bumped. Merlin, that guy has a gun in his bag or something, it really hurts."

At this time, Bill was suddenly attracted by something on the ground: "What is this?" He said, picking up the thing.

It was something like a large translucent capsule, as cold as ice, with a layer of beautiful blood-red frost condensed on the surface, but there were some small orange-red things moving inside.

"Frozen Fire Ash Snake Egg!" Aurora looked at the thing in Bill's hand in surprise, "Is this dropped by that person just now?" "It looks like it is. But this layer of red..." Beverly stretched out her finger After dipping a little, put it under the nose and smell it, his face became very strange, "It smells like blood."

Aurora turned her head, and on the edge of the stool that the man sat on just now, a small puddle of melted red blood was slowly dripping onto the dark brown floor.

She turned her eyes to the frozen fire ash snake egg in Bill's hand again, and remembered the struggling voice from the backpack just now: "So, there are other things in his bag..." Almost subconsciously, O Laura remembered what Professor Keitel told her about the magic creature reseller, and she quickly explained to the three companions: "There must be other magic creatures in his bag, I heard, but I'm not sure what it is, anyway It must be alive!"

"And he was seriously injured." Beverly stretched out her finger, the blood on it gradually solidified into dark red in the low temperature, and there was a small piece of green phosphorous flake of an unknown creature, "He doesn't look like a magician." Biological loving rescuer, isn't it?"

Vaux and Bill looked at each other, put the candy into the school bag: "Come on, let's follow and have a look." Then he opened the door and walked out.

Beverly was stunned: "You..." Can't you Gryffindors think more carefully before taking action?It's easy to die if you rush out like this!

Aurora pulled Beverly to follow the two cubs, and rushed into the snow: "Let's go too!"

"..."

Following the bloodstains that can be found from time to time, Aurora and the others gradually came to the edge of the dark green forest from the busiest place in Hogsmeade, where the Pig's Head Bar is located.

The four children went around the window and lay down on it trying to see who was inside, but they were blinded by a thick layer of black putty on the glass.

"It's a good way to prevent peeping, that is, never clean up." Bill muttered, squinting his eyes and trying to identify the outline behind the window, but unfortunately it was unsuccessful. "Damn it, I really can't see anything!" Vaux shook his head angrily.

"Hey, I think I can use this." As he said, Bill took out a small gift box that was already wrapped in his schoolbag, "It was originally a Halloween present for George and Fred, they will love this little gift box." It’s a joke. But it’s okay for us to use it in advance, so we can test it for them to see if it’s easy to use.”

"Eavesdropping vine?" Beverly looked at the little thing he took out, her thick eyelashes were stained with sporadic snowflakes.Bill nodded. "Yeah, but how are we going to put it in?"

"Tea Roll." Aurora pulled her cotton cap a little, and Tea Roll quickly jumped down and sat on the back of her hand.She handed the end of the eavesdropping vine to the little guy, "Help us get this thing into the window, please."

Tea Roll squeaked happily a few times, raised the eavesdropping vine with its thin arms, nimbly picked open the window lock of the Pig's Head Bar, and got in.Soon, a clear voice came from Bill's other ear:

There are crisp sounds of glass and metal spoons hitting, the sizzling of flames, the sound of pouring water, the sound of something being set on fire, the sound of messy footsteps, and the sounds of various people talking.They are mixed together, like a plate of brittle marbles being dangled in the plate, making a mess.

At this time, Aurora recognized the voice of the man who had just bought drinks at the Three Broomsticks: "Oh, yes. I got a lot of new goods this time. They are very rare, and of course they are very rare. Danger."

"It's him, it's this voice." Aurora said in a low voice.

"How many buyers can you help me contact? Those regular customers from your past?"

"It's hard to say. The Ministry of Magic is investigating the smuggling of magical creatures recently. They don't dare to buy things from you now." Another person said. It sounded like a man, but his voice was very sharp, which made people think of scratching with their fingernails. The sound of passing the blackboard sounds a little goosebumps.

"Cowards!" the first voice remarked contemptuously.Then he asked again: "Why did the Ministry of Magic suddenly start investigating our area recently?"

"Anthony Wallson made a mistake when he made the last order. When he returned from escorting a batch of goods in Southampton, he was attacked by a few absconded Death Eaters, who took most of his supply. Those things are causing a lot of trouble for the Ministry of Magic. That woman Millicent Bagnor was so angry that she ordered the Ministry of Magic to form an Auror task force to hunt down all illegal trafficking organizations."

"You mean that guy Watson brought back the batch from Africa? Merlin, this is interesting. That old and cunning thing even showed me that he got something amazing. You can have enough money to let him wash his hands and go back to his happy life, ha!" At this point, the voice stopped for a while, and then the sound of the wine glass being put back on the table, "Do you know that you are eaten to death? What did the gangsters steal?"

"How do I know this, but I advise you not to make too much publicity recently. Now the Ministry of Magic is looking everywhere for the stolen goods. That bastard Anthony probably has confessed us all. You can do it yourself."

Aurora heard the man spit out a stream of unrepeated expletives quickly and expertly.

"He really is a black-hearted businessman who illegally smuggles magical creatures!" Vox said through gritted teeth.

Aurora rubbed her itchy and red eyes from being in the snow for a long time, and said, "Those magical creatures must be in his bag."

Beverly looked at them vigilantly: "What do you want to do? This is beyond our control. Do you think your exposure in school is not high enough?"

"But……"

Before Bill could finish speaking, a burst of hurried footsteps suddenly came closer and closer to Aurora and the others, and the man who bought the wine said viciously: "Hey, look what we found? One is eavesdropping. Bowtruckle!"

As he said that, he overheard a sharp and miserable creaking sound from the vine.

"Tea roll!" Aurora threw away the eavesdropping vine, turned around and ran into the Pig's Head Bar. "No, Aurora!" Beverly quickly reached out to pull her, but only touched the cold and smooth end of her hair, so she had to follow along.

Aurora knocked open the door and saw the tea roll being tightly held in the hands of the tall man.He squeezed it very skillfully, pinching the tea roll's throat so that it would not have too much strength to resist him, and the thick dragon leather gloves on his hand made the tea roll's attack look a little weak.

After seeing Aurora, Chajuan screamed as if seeing a savior, and stretched out her little paw desperately to reach the girl in front of her.

"Please let it go." Aurora forced herself not to show her fear too much. The man in front of her was as tall as a hill, and she was not as tall as his chest. This huge difference made her start to be afraid unconsciously, but She wasn't about to back down from it.

"Children, don't eavesdrop on adults. It's impolite. Didn't your father tell you?" The man grinned, took out a small bottle from his pocket, stuffed the tea roll into it, and then closed the cork, " Disobedient children will be punished, so it is mine now."

Aurora drew out her wand and pointed at him, grabbed his coat, and a button of it fell to the ground due to excessive force: "No—! Give me back the tea roll!"

"Take off your fire stick, brat!" the man said, twisting Aurora's wrist with his backhand to force her to let go, and stretched out his hand to slap her across the face.The severe pain and tinnitus made Aurora unsteady for a while, and blood dripped from the corner of her mouth.

"Stay away from her!" Vaux and Bill rushed in holding their wands, and the snow was everywhere.At this time, the squeaky voice who was talking to the man at the beginning also joined in. He sneered and looked at the four children in front of him, "What a surprise, what a courageous partner."

"Give me back the tea roll!" Aurora wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth and shouted angrily.Her warm brown pupils were as bright as if they were burning, and anger was seething in them.

"What do you think... what's wrong?"

Before the man could speak, his backpack suddenly started to move, as if something was struggling uneasily inside.

"give me back--!"

The contents of the backpack struggled even more.

"Give it back to me!!"

The backpack started to crack, something was tearing it from the inside.

"give me back--!!!"

Anger catalyzed the magic power to riot wildly, the black cloth bag was torn into pieces, and a huge butterfly-like flying creature flew out of it, the green back was covered with spikes, and the inside of the wide wing membrane was beautiful. Sapphire blue, covered with old and new scars, still dripping blood.Its head resembled a pale canine skull devoid of any flesh, with black eyes and sharp teeth.

"The Winged Demon! It's the Winged Demon—!" Someone recognized this magical creature that specialized in sucking human brains for a living, and the entire Pig's Head Bar immediately went into chaos.Immediately afterwards, the Billywig also broke free from the backpack, and the mothbat and the brightly colored witch flew out.

"Merlin's beard... this is miserable, this is really miserable." Vox stared at the various magical creatures flying above his head in a daze.

They quickly burst through the windows here, scattered and rushed out.The wounded Winged Demon floated in front of the man with the squeaky voice, and suddenly covered his face with his body, lowered his head and bit the skin of his forehead, bloody and bloody, and the next step was his skull.

The witchbirds began to scream loudly enough to cause irreparable damage to one's nerves.Before its voice could be released, however, a Silencing Charm flew from the door and restrained it.

Beverly turned her head and shouted in surprise, "Professor Snape?!"

Frightened, the Winged Demon let go of the man whose forehead was bleeding profusely, and disappeared through the window.He collapsed on the ground, alive.

Aurora froze for a moment, picked up the bottle containing the tea rolls, and without thinking about it, turned out along the window where the Winged Demon disappeared, and ran into a patch of snow.

"Go back to the station, immediately!" Snape frowned and dropped the words, and Apparated to chase after Aurora who had run away.

The author has something to say:

[Cover face, deep pain] It's not that I don't add emotional scenes, but that the professor's character can't write obvious emotional scenes at all, it's all hints and hints.The people on the top of the snake ancestor wall next door scared me to tears.

According to the original book and the beginning of the third movie, it should be the time when every little wizard will have a magical riot, just like Harry turned his uncle's guest into a balloon and flew into the sky [laughs and tears].Aurora here just obviously has a strong influence on magical creatures.

Let us warmly welcome the Secretary of the Party Committee of the Professor Egg Tart Party——Jinjiang Aidi, Comrade immmmt! ! !With her sharp and precise eyes, she can dig out all kinds of hidden candies I wrote every time, and teach me where the egg tart party is! !

Summer vacation is here! ! !Diving monsters come out and hey! ! !
