[HP] Butterfly Effect

The snow line freezes all the paleness and coldness here almost forever, like a white armor coat.The vast dark green temperate forest is densely populated at the end of the line of sight, stretching out piece by piece. The closer you look, the monotonous snow color gradually fills up, and finally covers the entire field of vision.

Hogsmeade under the heavy snow was in chaos, with screams and the explosion of various spells one after another.Aurora chased the scarred and frightened Winged Demon all the way into the gloomy snow-white forest, and soon lost sight of it.

There are bright red drops of blood dripping on the white snow, but they are far away from each other.Aurora stood at the place where she saw the bloodstain for the last time and looked around. There was a layer of light gray-green snow that stretched to an invisible place, but no other blooddrops appeared.

The tea roll finally broke free from the bottle, got into Aurora's scarf and shivered against her, only two small leaves were exposed.

She looked up, the dark green branches and domes were intertwined and airtight, and the surrounding was surprisingly quiet, even the sound of snow falling from the trees could be heard, but there was no sign of the curled-winged demon.Aurora was a little anxious. She knew that the Winged Demon's feeding habit was to eat human brains. Of course, it could also eat some animal brains. Once stimulated, their temperaments would become extremely vicious.The most important thing is that it has injuries on its body, and it can easily die in such an environment.

"Where did it go?" Aurora murmured anxiously to herself, and continued to walk forward for a certain distance, her eyes began to ache gradually under the stimulation of the heavy snow.

Damn snow blindness!She cursed in her heart.

At this time, a short and sharp animal neighing sound came from Aurora's left side, as well as some sounds of biting and struggling, and snow blocks falling and smashing.Aurora walked quickly towards the source following the sound, and saw that the bruised Winged Demon was tearing the skull of an adult sika doe with its teeth and eating the brain.

Scarlet blood mixed with hard skull fragments flowed all over the ground, and the strong color contrast was particularly eye-catching in the gloomy forest.It seemed that the blood did not come from the dead doe, but spewed from a hideous torn wound on the ground, which was shocking.

The Winged Demon looked up at the girl in front of him, his bone-colored head was still sticky with bright red flesh, his pitch-black eyes were vigilant, and there was a low hooting sound from his throat, and the green spikes on his back stood up one after another.

Aurora withdrew her wand, slowly crouched on the spot where it was found, and stretched out her arms to show that she had nothing that could hurt it: "Don't be afraid, it's fine, come here."

The Winged Demon was still lying on the dead body of the doe, which had lost half of its head, and looked at her motionless.It has the blood from its own wounds, as well as the blood of its prey, which blends with the red color of the ground, making it look like it is a monster that grew out of blood.

"Come here." Aurora tentatively stretched out her hand towards it. Once she noticed any nervous movements of the Winged Demon, she immediately stopped and waited patiently for it to put down its guard.

Snape apparated over just as the Winged Demon slowly retracted the spikes on its back.The highly vigilant magical creature was startled by the sudden appearance of the man in black, screamed and swooped towards Snape who had just stood firm from the afterimage.

"Don't!" Aurora panicked, stood up quickly and ran towards Snape, trying to push him away.The Winged Demon is extremely fast, and the green armor on its back can bounce off some spells that are not very powerful.It flew straight in front of Snape, its wide wings blowing a gust of cold wind with a strong smell of blood, mixed with scattered snow falling from the branches.

The girl stopped between Snape and the Winged Demon at the critical moment, and the frost crystals fell into the eyes, causing a mist and sharp pain.The frightened flying beast turned its direction, the spikes scratched Aurora's scarf, leaving a few red marks on her face, and quickly flew back towards Hogsmeade.

Before she could recover, a cold and strong hand suddenly pinched her shoulder, and when Aurora opened her eyes again, she had already returned to the door of the Pig's Head Bar.

She touched her face, and those scars were a little hot and painful. "I remember I told you to go back to the station immediately?" Snape said coldly, looking at the three children who were still standing at the door, covering their heads with backpacks and cloaks.

Beverly stood there in silence with a blank expression on her face, while Bill and his roommate exchanged a quick look, and then calmly explained: "We have just walked halfway, Professor, but the people at the station are also They ran over and said that they were also attacked by these magical creatures over there, so we didn’t dare to go there.”

Snape looked down at him, his face as cloudy as the gray sky of an approaching blizzard overhead, as if weighing how much of what Bill said was true.Aurora looked at the chaotic Hogsmeade, her face was pale and absent-minded: "It's my fault, if it wasn't for me, they wouldn't have escaped."

She had to find a way to make up for this mistake before it had more dire consequences.

After finishing speaking, she turned around and ran into the bar, grabbed the backpack containing those magical creatures and put it on her back, but when she turned around, she saw Snape standing at the door frowning and staring at her with a cold and stern look.

"Professor, I have to do this. These magical creatures were all smuggled here, and they got out of control because of my influence." Aurora took a deep breath and tried to explain to him in the simplest language possible. "If no one takes care of them, they and the people here will be more threatened. Please, I know what I'm doing."

Even if she couldn't find all the magical creatures, at least some of them could be recovered, no matter what, it would be better than leaving them outside, and she was sure of that.

The girl in the dim light looked anxious and determined, her pupils were clear and bright, and her long hair was dazzling.Snape glanced over her face and found that she seemed to have been beaten by someone, and the scars on her cheeks were obvious.

"There's not much time before the people from the Ministry of Magic come here, Field. You'd better hurry up." After Snape finished speaking, he stretched out his hand and dragged Vaux by the collar into the bar. "You guys stay here, Don't come out."

"Thank you." Aurora breathed a sigh of relief, and just as he was about to run around Snape, he grabbed her by the shoulders, and her whole body was drawn into the familiar feeling of suffocation and oppression, and then broke free.

She saw that she was standing on the highest point of Hogsmeade, the top of an ancient clock tower, and the brilliant yellow sunset light broke out from under the thick, wet and cold gray-blue clouds and shone from the distant skyline.Farther away, the low-hanging dark clouds merged with the mountains, and the air was full of that kind of excessively cold water vapor, as if it would freeze in the next second, making you unable to move.

Hogsmeade under the white snow was in chaos, with Witchbirds, Billywigs, and Mothbats crashing wildly everywhere.Snape's voice fluttered in the snow wind, carrying a piercing coldness: "I hope you can clearly remember how many such magical creatures have escaped, Field. Otherwise, you may have to All the rest of your life is wasted on this."

"The most dangerous one is the Winged Demon just now. It was injured and needs to eat to restore its strength." Aurora replied, squinting her eyes to minimize the discomfort caused by Snow White, and quickly wiped her face. Tears that flowed out uncontrollably, "It will eat human brains or other animal brains until it recovers from its injuries. I think it's best to find it first."

As soon as the words fell, an extremely fast blue-green figure passed by the clock tower.Aurora quickly pointed at it and shouted, "That's it!"

Without saying a word, Snape followed with Aurora Apparating.The Winged Demon, who had been interrupted several times along the way, went mad, and turned its head towards Snape, who had been obstructing it all this time, and threw itself viciously, with fresh blood still hanging from its open mouth, and sharp spikes on its back.

The moment it turned around, Snape immediately pushed Aurora aside, leaving him alone to attract the Winged Demon's attention.A huge butterfly-shaped shadow gradually surrounded him. Snape pointed his wand at the crouching demon's head, his face expressionless, his whole body in a state of alert.

Aurora got up, opened the backpack silently, and gradually approached the Winged Demon while it was focusing all its attention on Snape.The Winged Demon opened its mouth, and just when its sharp teeth were about to touch Snape's forehead, he disappeared into the air, and then the Winged Demon, which was empty, was stuffed back with a backpack by Aurora .

Sensing its violent struggle, Aurora took a breath, and yelled at the restless blue-green creature inside: "Don't move! Quiet me immediately!"

The Winged Demon froze for a moment, and began to gradually close its wings to shrink itself, and finally it fell into her hand as a green cocoon with soft thorns, which was no bigger than the palm of your hand.

She breathed a sigh of relief, and held the cocoon carefully: "I'm sorry, I know you are very hungry, but you can't do it now, can you bear it for a while?"

Seeing Aurora stuffing the cocoon of the Winged Demon into his sleeve, Snape raised his eyebrows: "What are you doing?"

"It doesn't like the environment in the backpack that imprisoned it. The body temperature of humans is about the same as their normal, so they will be happy to stay in their sleeves." Aurora finished explaining, and put the backpack on her back, "Other It won't be such a trouble, it will be soon."

"Hope yours soon is what I think."

Everything that followed was much smoother, from the perspective of life safety.Much worse, of course, in terms of the effects of mischievous and starved magical creatures.

Aurora, with her head covered in soot and tousled hair, caught moth bats munching on eggs from a pile of straw in a store kitchen storeroom.When she crawled out, there were still a few dry straws sticking into her long hair ridiculously obliquely.The ghostcats ate almost all the fire crab eggs they could find in Hogsmeade, and finally Aurora had to use frozen fire snake eggs picked up by Bill to disguise them as fire crab eggs to trap them.

All the magical creatures in the Hogsmeade village were quickly recovered, and all the magical creatures that had escaped were subdued by the people from the Ministry of Magic.

When the leading Auror—Susanna Bell and her colleagues arrived with the rest of the magical creatures, all they saw was a group of normal and mild-tempered people queuing up quietly, waiting for someone with The girl with light blond hair fed the magical creatures one by one.

The expressions of the Aurors instantly became a little mysterious.You must know that the news they received was that a large group of crazy and terrifying magical creatures were wreaking havoc inside Hogsmeade, and the whole scene was appalling.

It doesn't look like that is the case now.They're just damn normal.

"Uh... good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen." Aurora saw the Aurors staring at her in unison. The Ministry of Magic logos on their chests made her feel bad, so she could only say hello .

"You keep these magical creatures? You, a little girl?" Susannah couldn't believe it, her slightly raised chin made her look a little haughty.

"It's not me." Aurora shook her head, and Vox and the others hurried over and explained the origin of these magical creatures and the whole incident one by one.

Suzanne looked at the ghost cat that was hanging affectionately on Aurora's shoulders with its two paws, stretched out its tongue to lick the dried fruit chocolate in her hand, and other magical creatures curled up at her feet, their brown eyes showed Sharp suspicion: "It seems that you have established a deep friendship with them in these two hours. Should I say congratulations?"

"They were smuggled, it's true." Aurora stood up and picked up a mothbat that was still sucking the juice from the eggshell in her hand, revealing the festered and scabbed wound on its back, "Look The wounds on their bodies, and this bag." Remus at the side hastily handed over the black bag.

Susanna looked at the wounds and the bag in her hand, and it was indeed very similar to the methods of some smuggling cases that have been dealt with recently.They all like to pretend to be ordinary passengers, and there are magic backpacks or suitcases with a very wide space.She looked at Aurora dubiously and asked, "So, where is the man who smuggled these magical creatures?"

"This..." Aurora froze for a moment, and subconsciously looked into the empty bar.Remus patted her on the shoulder, "It's none of your business, Aurora, don't worry."

"We remember them," Beverly said calmly.

"They?" Susannah repeated sharply.

"There are two in total. One is a tall man with light-colored eyes in a black cloak. His hair is curly and short. He is the owner of this backpack. The other is a tall and thin man..."

Before Beverly could speak, Snape suddenly led two people out of the afterimage of Apparition, and then let go of his hands. The two people he was holding immediately fell to the ground after losing their support.

When they shook off the snow particles all over their faces and knelt down on the ground in disgrace and looked up to see the Ministry of Magic Aurors in front of them, their faces suddenly became paler than the white snow on the ground.They subconsciously took a step back, but when they turned around, they saw Snape looking down at them with contempt in his eyes.The faces of these two people instantly became uglier, as if they had seen a ghost.

Aurora found that there was something wrong with their clothes, there were many tattered places, and they looked very embarrassed, as if they had experienced an extremely fierce and miserable fight.Looking at Snape who appeared with them at the same time, except for some folds and damages on the corners of the thick black robe mopping the floor, everything else was the same as usual.

Suzanne looked at the man in black who suddenly appeared in front of her in surprise. The man was a bit thin but tall, with no expression on his pale face except for a slight wrinkle between his brows.The color of his body was completely opposite to this piece of white snow, but the indifference and sharpness in his eyes matched the low temperature here very well.

"Mr. Snape, what a surprise." Rachel, who was standing next to Susanna, greeted with a half-smile.She was wearing a black and gray cloche hat, a lock of tan curly hair hanging coquettishly in front of her eyes, and her face had mixed expressions of sarcasm and surprise.

Snape put his wand back into his sleeve, and there was an equally cold smirk on the corner of his face and mouth: "Actually, this place is quite close to Hogwarts, and I often come here."

"Moreover, Professor Snape helped us find these magical creatures." Aurora added, carefully pushing away the ghost cat that was playing with its tail around her wrist.

"With you?" Susanna looked at the magical creatures and said calmly, "Is it with you? You seem to be very popular with them."

Snape raised his chin at the two men on the ground in a timely manner, and reminded: "Here is the criminal you need to catch back."

"Whether it's true or not is hard to say, but we'll judge for ourselves."

"Please."

Susannah looked at the two men, and then at Snape and Aurora: "Then, it seems that I need to trouble the two of you to go to the Ministry of Magic with us, and we need to record a statement."

"It won't be too long, Mr. Snape won't be unwilling?"

"Of course not, I'm happy to help."

Susannah grabbed one of the criminals and smiled at Snape: "Please." Then, she turned to Rachel and said, "Go and check all the injured and send them to St. Mungo's."

Remus put his arm on Aurora's shoulder lightly and said, "I am the guardian of this child, please allow me to go with her."

"of course."

Soon, everyone put their hands together and disappeared in place in an instant.

Heavy snow fell.
