[HP] Butterfly Effect

A clear and melodious phoenix cry came from the black-gray clouds. The loud and clear cry tore through the silence in the air, piercing through layers of ice, wind and snow.Standing on the balcony of the principal's office, Dumbledore watched the flaming mass expand and burn like a falling sky fire, and finally landed on his arm with incomparable lightness.

"Thank you." Dumbledore stroked its feathers, looked up and squinted at the black cloud that had covered the Hogwarts dome for two whole days.He remembered what Aurora had said before, that there are fish in the clouds.

The news that Fox brought back was similar. There was an unknown magical creature in the clouds, which created the dark clouds that covered the sky and the sun.

The letter from the Ministry of Magic was still lying on the table. It was sent by someone from the Department of Regulation and Control of Fantastic Beasts. The content was to remind Hogwarts of the recent weather changes.Several cloud swallowing whales that escaped in the last Azkaban incident have traveled to London and its surrounding areas along the westerly wind current at sea.

There were slight and quick footsteps approaching, and Dumbledore didn't turn his head, but waved the Elder Wand in his hand as a greeting to the other party, looking at the thick dark clouds gathered above his head, he sighed: "It seems that last time Southampton's The impact of magical creature smuggling is bad."

Snape walked beside him, there was no light in sight, the dark blue-gray mountain outline was as cold as this black cloud, the weak British winter sunshine was no match for them at all, they were completely squeezed away.

"Yes," he replied, "maybe it will continue to spread to other parts of the UK in a while."

"That would be terrible," said Dumbledore, raising his wand above his head and drawing a strange arc through the air.A bright colored halo gradually appeared in the sky above Hogwarts, much like the beautiful colors refracted by the gentle sunlight scattered and floating, resolutely separating the disturbingly low clouds from the castle like a shield.

After doing all this, he withdrew his hand and moved his wrist and fingers: "Talk is better than nothing, but it is not a solution after all."

Snape knew what Dumbledore meant. Although those magical creatures were still unable to threaten the school, but without knowing their number and types, such protective measures would not last long.

"I saw a letter from the Ministry of Magic?" Snape asked.

"Yes, the people from the Department of Management and Control of Fantastic Beasts, they and the Aurors are now secretly operating in London, not only to deal with the threat of exposure in the wizarding world, but also to find a way to capture the smuggled and escaped magical creatures."

Snape raised his eyebrows slightly, and his half-true and half-fake regret sounded more like mocking: "It seems that they are not going well."

"That's right. After all, not everyone can feel and tame them so easily, can't they?" Speaking of this, Dumbledore suddenly asked, "I remember, did the child Aurora also spend Christmas in London?" ?”

Snape frowned when he heard this question, the other person asked it so naturally, as if he should know, this attitude made Snape feel a little displeased and conflicted.In the eyes of the principal, does he seem to be the kind of leisurely person whose brain is so empty that he has to find some random things to fill it in, or who is free enough to remember such insignificant people and things?

Pursing his bloodless lips, Snape replied without a trace of fluctuation in his low voice: "I don't know about that. If you look at what she told you in the principal's office that day, maybe."

Under the dark and cloudy sky, his expression looked as inhuman as if it had been carved out. He couldn't find any soft and clear emotional color, only an indifferent, empty and hazy sky above his head.

"I discovered a very interesting thing recently," said Dumbledore. "Except for her own books in Helga's room, the rest belonged to Salazar Slytherin. But only half of them, Including the book that records the Horcruxes. The remaining half is probably still in the secret room."

"You mean the way to destroy the Horcrux?"

"Yes." After being silent for a while, the old headmaster sighed inexplicably, "There are too many facts that have happened recently."

"indeed so."

And it all revolves around one person.Snape suddenly remembered Aurora sitting in a brilliant light.

……

After coming out of St. Olaf's Church, Aurora shrank from the cold wind blowing around her head.She wrapped the yellow and black scarf that hung down to her waist a higher circle, only her eyes were exposed, and the lingering white air rose from the gap in her scarf.

Here in downtown London, the weather was as bad as the Daily Prophet reported or worse.The sky overhead was as black as a burnt pan, with not a single tinge of vibrant color seeping through, and it looked like a big snowstorm was about to rain down.

There are also fish in the clouds here, and they appear to be bigger.

Aurora told Arthur about this at dinner at Weasley's the night before. He scratched his hair and said that the Ministry of Magic has been very busy with these things recently, and the entire Department of Management and Control of Magical Beasts Everyone came out.

"The school is also surrounded by these dark clouds. I really don't know when it will be." Fred said as he quickly gnawed the black pepper chicken leg in his hand until only a thin bone remained. "It's going to be all right, honey, it's going to be all right." Molly scooped more creamy mushroom and potato cold chicken onto Aurora's plate and drizzled it with a thin layer of lemon juice.She is habitually overprotective of her children.

Ron raised his head from the plate in front of him, sucked the last noodles into his mouth, with a ring of tomato juice still on his mouth, and stared at Arthur with wide eyes: "But the Daily Prophet has been reporting recently, This incident has raised the danger of wizarding exposure to an unprecedented level. Is that so, Dad."

"Things in that kind of newspaper can be somewhat believable, but this incident has dragged on for so long and is so complicated, it is estimated that it is indeed serious, but it should not reach the point of full exposure." Bill said, using a tissue Wiped his mouth for Ron.

"Daddy?" Ginny, the youngest, said timidly, looking at her father like Ron.Aurora put down her fork and watched Arthur with Vaux.

"It's really serious." Arthur said, drinking up the eggnog in the glass, "because according to Anthony Wallson's confession, none of the magical creatures abducted by the Death Eaters belonged to the British mainland. For Compared with the existing magical biosphere, the ecological environment here is an invasive species. And there are many types and numbers of them, some of which are very dangerous, and some we have never seen before."

"I heard that they even visited the Scamander family for this." George interrupted suddenly, "In his later years, Newt Scamander returned to live in Dorset, England with his family. There are very few outside connections."

"And the result?" Aurora asked.

"Of course I didn't find him himself, only saw his son. It is said that he will go to India and the Far East including Siberia, Russia at this time of year to check the growth of those magical creatures." Fred shrugged, skillfully He tossed a few orchid beans into his mouth and bit them loudly, "Unfortunately, finding his son doesn't seem to be of much help."

"Is there no one else in the Ministry of Magic who can do it?" Vox asked. "There must be, but it's very difficult. It's really not easy to get close to them. You don't know how many times you have been busy in St. Mungo's during this time, and too many people have been injured." Arthur sighed.

"So those extremist wizards who advocate hunting magical creatures have something to talk about lately," Percy added.

"But that's not the fault of those magical creatures, the wizard who illegally smuggled them should be held accountable, isn't it?" Aurora frowned, her expression not very good.Charlie agrees with her: "Of course, it's no use killing more magical creatures if you can't solve the problem of smuggling."

"Hey, Aurora." Fred suddenly moved closer to her, "Can you deal with those creatures, for example, the ones on the top of your head?"

Aurora froze for a moment: "I don't know, I don't think I'm that capable."

"Fred, this is something the Ministry of Magic should consider." Molly raised her chin at him.The boy grimaced and quickly wiped all the turkey off the plate.

Lying at the Weasleys' house last night, apart from the occasional ghoul in the attic, all that filled Aurora's dreams was the ethereal low voice that had been haunting her since Hogwarts.They sound sad, with a soul-crushing sadness and desolation so contagious it's impossible to ignore.

The fish swimming in the clouds, the barren whiteness in the dream, they whisper around you.

A black car passed by quickly, and Aurora was so frozen by the splashed snow that she remembered that she was still standing on the streets of London.

The elk lights and other decorations hung up in various shops because of the arrival of Christmas have become the only relief from the depressing weather.Aurora saw that the pedestrians around were wearing clothes in very warm colors, such as red, caramel, bright yellow, orange and so on.

They walked on the street, passing through colorful shadows, and the city and dark clouds became a dark background, like those dynamic photos of contrasting colors in black and white.

Charlie Weasley quickly ran out of the church and stood beside Aurora: "What are you looking at?" "People on the road." Aurora smiled at him with slightly bent eyes, "Why don't you come out gone?"

"Everyone is out, right behind." After Charlie finished speaking, Arthur and Molly hurried out of the church, seemingly having a heated discussion.Arthur held a letter in his hand, and Aurora saw the Ministry of Magic stamped on the back of the envelope.

Charlie and Bill exchanged a look, and pulled Aurora's sleeve: "Uh, I feel a little bad."

Eventually, Arthur stopped talking to Molly, and said to Vaux and Aurora with some guilt: "Children, something happened, you have to go home with Molly, I will be back later." What happened, Arthur?" Vox looked at the other person's face, and felt that something was very bad.

"This dark cloud has lasted for too long, and it has caused too much impact on the Muggles. They are going to solve it by artificially dispelling the clouds. But this will definitely stimulate the magical creatures in the clouds, which will cause irreparable damage. Consequences." Arthur quickly explained, "Currently, the minister is communicating with the Muggle Prime Minister to buy time, and all personnel from the Ministry of Magic must rush to attend an emergency meeting to see if they can find a way to get rid of the dark cloud before the Muggles do it." The creatures are subdued."

"Is there a connection between the Minister of Magic and the British Prime Minister?" Vox repeated in surprise, and then asked, "What if the Prime Minister disagrees?"

"Then we have to take some more extreme measures. No matter what, we can't let them interfere in this matter like this. The result is too bad." Arthur replied with a very bad face.Then he turned to look at Molly, "Honey, take them back."

"Come on, boys, quick." Molly picked up Ginny, and Bill took Ron's hand.

"Sir, I..." Aurora clenched and loosened her hand several times in her pocket, and finally said, "Please let me go with you."

"Aurora?"

"I think I might be able to help a little. When I was in Hogsmeade, I tried to subdue some magical creatures, and it was not difficult. Although I haven't tried..." Aurora looked at the sky above her head and continued. , "Such a strange thing. But please let me go with you."

Arthur touched her long hair and gave a reassuring smile: "Aurora, thank you for your willingness to help, but this is too dangerous, I can't do this, you have to go home with Molly." I promise I won't mess around, and I will listen to you." Aurora looked at him firmly, "And now that it's such an urgent moment, it's not a bad thing for one more person to participate."

"Aurora..."

"Let me go with you, please."

"Aurora, this is too dangerous." Vox put his arm on her shoulder. "I know, but I really want to go." Aurora insisted. "Actually, taming those magical creatures is not that difficult. I just need someone who can easily get close to them. I can try. Time is running out, more It's always good to try an approach, and I'm a little bit sure, really."

If this can be resolved relatively quickly, then neither magical creatures nor wizards or Muggles will be safe.

Arthur wanted to say something more, but he didn't have much time, so he had to agree after Aurora's repeated pleas: "Okay. But you must promise me that you must stay with me all the time, and you can't go anywhere alone. Do you know Aurora?" Then he supported his forehead, "I think I have to ask Scrimgeour to notify Professor Dumbledore and your guardian immediately, Merlin, you are still a child, this is too scary."

"Then let's go." After finishing speaking, Aurora waved to Molly and the others, "It's okay, see you tonight."

"Well, Dad, can we go with you?" Charlie said, pulling the sleeves of Lavoux and Bill, "We want to go too." George and Fred seemed eager to join, Unfortunately, Arthur sternly rejected it.Molly seemed reluctant to let Aurora go with her, but Aurora finally convinced her and disappeared into the dark streets of London with Arthur.

"Are they really going to be all right, Mom?" Ginny put her arms around Molly's neck, looking worriedly in the direction they were missing.Molly kissed her on the cheek, "No, baby, no."

"So what can we do?" Charlie looked at Bill for help.Vox shook his head, "I have to inform Remus that he is Aurora's guardian and he must be present."

"And Professor Dumbledore, maybe he will have a solution, let's go." Bill agreed.

Soon, they too disappeared from the streets of London.
