[HP] Butterfly Effect

The dark clouds are oppressive and gloomy seas that block London and all people in the dark bottom of the sea.Whales are jumping and cruising above everyone's heads, rolling up turbulent clouds and rolling, and a blizzard is brewing, ready to collapse from the sky at any time.

Snape handed the brewed special anesthetic potion to Aurora. If the cloud swallowing whales made any aggressive moves, this bottle of air-soluble potion could make them lose their senses in a short time.Aurora took a look at the gorgeous rose-colored potion and put it in her pocket: "Thank you, Professor."

"By the way." He said, pulling his hand out of his pocket, another small transparent potion.Aurora turned to look at him in surprise, the other's attention was on the dark clouds above his head, and he didn't look at her at all: "For me?"

Snape rolled his black eyes, looked back at her, and looked down: "Does this dose look like it's for cloud swallowing whales?" Aurora opened the lid and smelled it, except for a faint bitter smell, No special taste.

After drinking it with her head up, Aurora wiped her mouth: "Professor, what is this?" "Relieves snow blindness and hypothermia." Snape replied, "Next time I hope you can ask this question before drinking it down."

Professor Dumbledore and Minister Millison hadn't asked him to brew the potion, Aurora was sure.

Before Aurora could think any further, Snape took the empty glass tube in her hand and left.When passing by Scrimgeour, the two nodded slightly to each other politely and perfunctorily, without any conversation.

There was snow all over the place, and no one had the energy to take care of her eyes. In fact, even Aurora herself forgot, and she often forgot about it.But……

Aurora rubbed her eyes, looked at the dark, thin and tall figure, and suddenly felt an indescribable loneliness in the other person, even the snowflakes falling on his shoulders were so clear.Those crystals that looked too pale compared to the never-changing pitch black on Snape's body, bloomed illusory flowers on his body, obviously the same color as heavy snow, but they didn't make her feel the burning pain in her pupils.

The cloud swallowing whale started to move again, and the white snow slowly poured down.Aurora held them in his hands, feeling those fragile crystals shatter in the palm of his hand, and the sound was subtle but could not be ignored in his ears.

After a while, she realized that what she heard was not the sound of snowflakes, but her own heartbeat.

Scrimgeour walked up to the girl who was still staring blankly at the snowflakes in her palm, and said, "Miss Field, Ms. Bagnor asked me to check one last time, are you really ready to try to contact those cloud-eating whales? .I hope you think carefully. This is your last chance. Once you really leave the ground, you will have no chance to regret it."

Aurora withdrew her hand and put it in her pocket, holding the bottle of potion, with a smile on her face: "Then please help me pray together, I hope my name can really have the same effect as its meaning."

Aurora once thought about why Edmond and Marianne chose this name for the original owner of their body, because it had something to do with light.

Later she understood that this is probably the desire of everyone living in the British Isles for sunshine.After living so long in a green cage woven by forests and fog and rain, there is nothing more invigorating than a warm golden glow.

Scrimgeour was taken aback by her somewhat clumsy dry humor, and then smiled: "You are very brave." "On the contrary, sir, I have always felt that I lack courage, and now I am only Try to do what you can." Aurora shook her head, "Believe me, if I wasn't a natural animal trainer, I would never have offered to come here."

"So, what are you going to do now? Miss Field." Scrimgeour looked at the blond girl whose expression was much calmer than the others, and asked.

"Communication." Aurora raised her head, watched him answer, and then explained in the puzzled expression of the other party's frown, "I can hear their voices, but you can't, which means that their vocal organs are different from the general Organisms are so different that they probably can't even hear the sounds we make."

"I don't quite get it." He seemed frustrated admitting the fact.

"You tried to communicate with them, right? It didn't work. Not only because of the distance, but also the way of communication." Aurora quickly answered, some of which were from Newt and Helga's book From the looks of it, part of it was discovered by herself.

"Our auditory organs and way of understanding are born to adapt to our communication habits. But if we encounter other creatures that don't use our way of communication, it will be very difficult. This is why magical creatures are so difficult to tame The reason, because they don't understand us, and we don't understand them. They think they've given us enough warning, but we haven't heard or found anything, so conflict arises."

"So we need to use their way to communicate with them, I understand. How to do it?"

"For others, it's a long way to go and learn, but it's not possible now. We have to find them and let me try. I can't say why, but since I can hear them , then I think they should also be able to hear me, at least this has been verified on other magical creatures."

"Talent." Scrimgeour looked at her and nodded. "Let's go."

"Aurora—!" Keitel's voice came from the opposite side of the clearing across a piece of frost grass and ice flowers, "Good boy, we have to go."

"Here we come!" Aurora said, bid farewell to Scrimgeour, and ran towards Keitel and the coffee beans.After the little girl sat firmly, Coffee Bean adjusted her posture and flapped her wings twice, ready to take off at any time.

Remus looked at the girl who smiled at him more than the scissorhands wanted to make him laugh, and barely moved the corners of her mouth to put together an unqualified smile: "Be careful, if you have any problems, you must go to Professor Keitel and the others together." Withdraw immediately, don't force yourself."

"I will." Aurora bent down and hugged him, her cold pale blonde hair covered Remus' shoulders and then pulled away.

"We're all waiting for you here." Dumbledore looked at her gently, his eyes shining and deep as always.

"Okay," she replied, her eyes grazing the black figure beside Dumbledore.Snape didn't intend to say anything, just stood aside and looked at her quietly, just like a professor who is not familiar with usually should do.

"Coffee beans, let's go."

Thestral let out a joyful cry, its huge black wings flapped violently, and flew up very lightly, like a graceful shadow, it flew towards the same dark sky, beside it were white eagle horses and several horses on broomsticks. Auror.

The cold wind and ice and snow became a physical pressure at such a high speed, and the higher the flight, the more difficult it was to bear, and the lower and lower temperatures intensified this torture.After the tiny water droplets are condensed into ice, they will become sharp blades, which can easily cut your clothes and skin.

A strong smell of rain and frost gradually became clear, sharply irritating the nasal cavity and lungs, and searching for the heat of the whole body.This feeling is not good, like being thrown into a sealed ice room with no air circulation all year round.Having risen to the bottom of the dark cloud, Aurora saw the leading Auror, Jonathan Bordeaux, making gestures to change formation.

Aurora was surrounded to the very center, while Renee and the others were responsible for opening the way and gradually blasting the frozen cloud.The howling cold wind was mixed with the cracked ice, and Aurora squinted her eyes. Apart from the pain from being cut on her face by the shattered ice, she had no other obvious discomfort.

No snow blindness, no body stiffness and confusion from low temperatures.

She touched the potion bottle in her pocket and thought of those calm, cold black eyes.

Now she couldn't tell whether it was Snape or the residual memory of her coming to this strange world every time she thought of those eyes.It seems like they overlap in some way and it's hard to tell.

There was a final blast from overhead, and shattered ice fell like a pale meteor shower past Aurora, covering her long hair and coat.

"Going in is the range of activities of the cloud swallowing whale, be careful." Keitel's voice came from the side, reminding Aurora.She nodded, and the ethereal and strange biological voice in her ear was unprecedentedly clear since the frozen cloud was blasted through.

"I think they're a little higher up, front left," she said.

Keitel and Jonathan exchanged a look. The other party was obviously not well adapted to obeying a child's opinion, but he also followed what Millison and Scrimgeour gave him at the beginning, and believed Aurora's words .

Let her be that Mr. Scamander.Jonathan comforted himself in this way.

This is a wonderful feeling. When the clouds have a fixed, palpable shape and weight, walking through them is like walking a maze.There are ice edges and frost crystals everywhere, and they surround you in white, forming a dense net, like the complicated and gorgeous lace patterns drawn by some avant-garde artists, beautiful and cold.

Through the frozen clouds, the light conditions above are much better than the ground.Then Aurora discovered that this was because the cloud swallowing whale had frozen the entire cloud layer, reflecting part of the sunlight.

It's as cold and frozen as another world. There is no color anywhere in sight, except gray and black. It's almost like the end of time, full of devastation and decay.

Aurora listened intently to the strange voices, and soon found that they were coming from the front left: "They are there!"

The huge fish tail flickered by, and the snow fell heavily.

"Coffee beans, catch up." Aurora said in a low voice, hugging the Thestral's slender neck tightly.

"Follow everyone!"

Soon, the team immediately adjusted their direction and chased after the fish tail that had just disappeared.But then, Aurora found more than one cloud swallowing whale in the clouds. Accompanied by the blasting sound of the Aurors blasting the frozen clouds as they opened their way, there were also dull ethereal screams, which twitched her nerves intensively.

The surrounding clouds changed, and the thick black rolled and spread on the soles of the feet like spilled ink, and the thin light was gradually squeezed out of sight.

Aurora smashed the oncoming large pieces of ice and snow with her magic wand, and shouted to Professor Keitel who was closest to her: "Professor, we have too many people, and they are very sensitive to high-temperature objects in the clouds, such as human beings. We It makes them nervous, they see us as intruders."

But this is not normal. Logically speaking, even if the cloud swallowing whale is sensitive to temperature, it should not overreact like this.

"Intruders? Are they planning to attack?" Another female Auror, Renee, asked with a frown.

"There is no need to attack, we are in the clouds, and they can freeze us inside as long as the temperature drops sharply." Keitel shook his head, "Aurora, can you calm them down? We have no malicious intentions."

"It's very difficult. It takes time. You know that the bigger the magical creatures are, the harder it is to tame them. And there are too many of them, and they refuse to show up. I can only feel their strong resistance now." Lola said, dodging the many hail particles that rained down from the clouds overhead.Renee's face became even uglier after seeing the hailstorm: "Oops, the hailstorm is coming. The weather is getting worse and worse, those Muggles will do some stupid things sooner or later!"

While speaking, more and more dense hailstones fell from the top of the head, and it quickly turned into a disaster with almost nowhere to hide.They dodged and fled in the clouds, and the cloud-eating whales surrounded them, appearing and disappearing.They jumped up from the frozen clouds, collapsed into white clouds and disappeared in the air, and then jumped out from other places. Their natural ability to transform clouds made them impossible to capture in the clouds.

The wand in Keitel's hand shot out a shining light, smashing the surrounding hailstones into ice shards one by one: "Aurora, I remember that Severus gave you that air-soluble anesthetic potion, right? Hurry up and open it, we have to retreat temporarily, this will not work.”

"But we've only just come up, Professor?!"

"Open it, Aurora!"

A strange and shrill hiss sounded from the frozen clouds. Aurora turned her head and saw a silver-gray cloud-eating whale covered with scars all over its body was tossing out of the clouds, and then fell back in because of being hit.The few Aurors who caught up were firing lightning spells and fire spells into the clouds. Cold blue currents and dazzling red flames flowed everywhere along the ice layer. Together, they were finally swallowed by the sound of burning flames.The clouds began to twist and sink crazily, forming a huge black-gray vortex under their feet, and it was as terrifying as if they were going to be sucked in just by looking at it.

It's cold as hell in here.

"Wait a minute! Cloud swallowing whales are different from thunderbirds. They can't see fire, so don't use fire!" Aurora looked at Renee in shock.

"Miss Field, it doesn't matter anymore, they have always been like this. Get out the narcotic potion quickly, or we will all freeze to death here!" Renee looked at the distorted gray cloud that was staring at the twisting gray cloud. The girl who was thinking about something, her voice became vain and sharp because of the tension.

Aurora suddenly understood why so many Aurors were injured when they came into contact with cloud-eating whales, and cloud-eating whales were highly sensitive to human body temperature.Because from the beginning to the end, they didn't try to talk to these magical creatures, they just wanted to expel them in the fastest way.

And the fastest way is of course to deter them with flames and electric currents, so that they will leave in fear of humans approaching.

From the perspective of the security of Muggle society and wizard society, there is no problem. As long as you don't think about the feelings of those magical creatures, everything is perfect, fast, accurate, efficient and convenient.

The truth is, no one thinks about how they feel, especially when they are causing harm to themselves.

Muggles hunt animals, wizards hunt magical creatures, it makes no difference.

The piercing and ethereal cry sharply stimulated Aurora's eardrums, infecting her with that strong emotion.

"Listen to Miss Field, I know what you're thinking, you have to remember that they were smuggled in, and they were scarred before the Ministry of Magic took any action against them." Jonathan is a veteran Auror, who was in New York during his internship I've been around Tet for a while, and probably know what someone with the same talent would think when faced with this situation, "so they repel all human approach. We've had several Aurors seriously injured by their attacks , Such a method is a choice made when there is no other way.”

He was right. There was nothing wrong with the Ministry of Magic doing this. When they couldn't communicate with each other and were threatened by it, the instinct of all creatures was to eliminate the threat.That's the way it is, and there's nothing to criticize about it.What's more, the Ministry of Magic is responsible for the entire wizarding world, so there is nothing wrong with them doing this.

but……

Aurora withdrew her gaze, and with it all her emotions, she just looked at Renee and Jonathan like this: "You know this will never end, no matter how many narcotic potions there are, the matter is just It's going to get worse."

"Yes, but at least it will get us back to the surface safely."

"But that's only temporary. Once we retreat, they will be frantically cooled and snowed due to a new round of fright - the current hail is a good proof - and then you try to break in and clash with them again, The vicious circle continues until they freeze everything below the clouds to death. Is this what you want?"

"Then what do you mean?"

"Call all your people back, leave here, and I'll go find them alone." Aurora replied calmly, her warm brown eyes reflected the frost in the sky, without any waves.

"This is impossible."

"Aurora, we won't let you stay here alone."

"But the more people, the worse, isn't it? I'm the only one who has a chance to get close to them. You will only have constant conflicts with the cloud-eating whales if you stay here. They can't tell the difference between you and the smugglers who captured them." The difference, I will only feel resistance and threats to your approach, and only I can."

"Aurora..."

"I'm sorry." Aurora said, and released the blueberry jam from her cuff, and it bounced into the clouds like a green glass ball.

In the next second, the frozen cloud disturbed by the Winged Demon overwhelmingly pressed towards them, scattering Keitel and Renee away.Yunlang returned to calm within tens of seconds. After Keitel and the others stabilized themselves in the air, they could no longer see Aurora.

"The frost is intensifying! We have to get out of here immediately!" Jonathan watched the ice layers getting closer and closer along the frozen clouds, and even the air seemed to be starting to freeze.

"Aurora—!" Keitel looked around, desperately shouting Aurora's name, "Aurora, where are you?!"

"Professor Byrne, we have to go!"

"But……"

"I have to say, this girl is really like Mr. Scamander when it comes to encountering magical creatures, she is quite reckless." Jonathan stopped Keitel, who was going to find Aurora, and stared into his eyes. , "I still remember him always using some methods that I will never understand, but it works every time. Maybe we should trust her."

"There is no time, let's go now!"

A large area of ​​frost and ice spread over and blocked them, and the entrance when they came was getting smaller and smaller, and the temperature was so low that it was difficult to even lift a magic wand.

Standing on the ground, Millison and the others saw the eagle horses and the Aurors on brooms rushing out of the clouds and returning to the ground with snowflakes all over the sky. The pure white ice crust spread and condensed rapidly on the clouds.As soon as they landed, the sky above their heads was completely frozen, and it looked like a huge piece of smooth black ice floating in the sky.

Snape's eyes quickly confirmed that the blond girl was not seen among the people who came back.His face changed, and took on a dark gray and gloominess.

"Where's Aurora?" Remus asked suddenly, looking at them.

The author has something to say:

Is this sugar enough? ! !

I won't update it tomorrow, don't wait, touch it, it's too tiring to update it for a few days...
