[HP] Butterfly Effect

Remus' reply arrived.

Hastings flew in from outside at lunchtime, handed the letter to Aurora, received a small char-grilled chicken breast in return, and flapped away.

Aurora opened the envelope and looked at it. It was very ordinary. The other party regretted not being able to celebrate her birthday with her. She said that she had a sudden emergency and went to Edinburgh. By the way, I hope she will like this magic space satchel given as a gift.

This is completely different from what the waiter said. He said that Remus asked for leave because he was unwell because of an old problem.How did it become a temporary incident when I got here?

After reading the thin letter in her hand several times, Aurora refolded it and put it back in the envelope, ready to go to the early morning prophecy class.

After sitting down in the corner by the window as usual, Aurora took out Salazar's diary and spread it out, with a half-drawn parchment inside.She was trying to plan the vast space in the satchel, but had no clue.In fact, the main reason is that the magic spells I have mastered are not enough, so there are limitations in the use and division of them.

But what surprised Aurora was that Salazar seemed to be very good at arranging many different kinds of magical creatures and even some very dangerous magical creatures to live in the same space.

He reminded Aurora that magical creatures must be completely tamed before they could be put into the satchel, otherwise it would cause irreparable consequences.He also told her that the most important thing about raising magical creatures in the same space is to restore the most suitable environment for their survival as much as possible, so that even if the space is small, it will be fine.Putting the same type together, multiple uses of a single space can construct a relatively complete ecological chain.In this way, the caretaker can only consider ensuring the most basic food supply, and it will not be so troublesome.

Aurora was stunned for a while looking at the gorgeous and beautiful script that bloomed under the tip of Salazar's tail, and then realized that he should have known it from Helga.According to what Salazar said, she roughly set up a framework on paper, and she was just about to put it into practice.

Fortunately, because now she only needs to think about settling blueberry jam and tea rolls, as well as Brett and the occasional coffee beans and Buckbeak who come in temporarily, and there is no need for a complicated structure.

I don't know if Sarah knew that Helga's room was opened?Aurora wanted to talk to him about it several times, but she decided to forget it.It would be embarrassing if he let Aurora take him.Professor Dumbledore had banned anyone from going near that room, and had used a series of complex spells to re-hide it.

Time followed the warmer and clearer rains into May, and Aurora later visited Remus a few times to make sure that the other party was fine before she felt relieved.At the end of May, for the annual farewell party for graduates, the prefects of each college organized a group of students from the first to sixth grades to perform a drama.

The content of the play is a wizard's fairy tale. Contrary to the Muggle fairy tale, the Muggles who don't have magic become scheming villains.Although the fairy tale is to some extent an exaggerated reflection of the era in which it was born, Aurora felt that the struggle between wizards and Muggles made sense the moment she read the script.

It was a complete accident that she was selected to participate in the play, because she was originally just one of the mighty crowd of onlookers. When the other party said to himself: "The hair color is very beautiful. You have a smile."

Aurora froze for a moment, and did as the other party said.The Ravenclaw prefect nodded seriously, and said, "Well, although I'm a little young, I smile very kindly, that's how it feels. You can play the portrait godmother of the heroine." After finishing speaking, he turned his head Said to the Hufflepuff prefect beside her, "She is a little too small, but her temperament is very suitable. Remember to pay attention to makeup."

"...Then what am I going to do?"

"It's very simple, you just stay in that frame. Whenever the heroine comes to you crying, you show her such a smile, and then encourage her to pursue her own happiness bravely. The godmother will always support you love You." Then, the prefect handed the parchment with the lines written on it to Aurora, "Go and memorize it, let's try the rehearsal tonight."

"..."

Aurora has never had the experience of acting in a drama. Although the lines of this portrait godmother are very few, in the words of the prefect - "every line is full of affection".And most importantly, the heroine of this drama is a difficult senior Slytherin, and it is a bit of a challenge to control the facial muscles to show that gentle and kind smile to her.

"You have to imagine that she is someone you cherish and cherish. Everything else is fine, but the last sentence 'I will always love you' doesn't feel right. Go find another place to practice and rehearse with everyone tomorrow."

disbanded.

……

The holly tree has run out of resin.

Looking at the empty jar in his hand, Snape remembered that he originally planned to go to the Forbidden Forest to find some yesterday, but he failed because of the delay in brewing chamaejasma/potion.

There is also a small white unknown flower in the jar, which was accidentally dropped in during the formation of holly resin and has been sealed up to this day.Looking at the white flower, Snape suddenly remembered the scene of obtaining this piece of resin in the Forbidden Forest two years ago.

In the palm of the blond-haired girl lay a piece of crystal-clear resin, with white flowers blooming in the center, gentle and peaceful like a frozen snowflake, which would shatter if pushed hard.

This scene is so familiar.Long, long ago, there was also a girl of about the same age who stretched out her hand in front of Snape.The moment the palm was spread out, white flowers bloomed, pure and flawless.

Frowning slightly, he put the jar back on the potions cabinet expressionlessly, and left the cellar office and walked towards the Forbidden Forest.However, when Snape was already standing in front of the holly trees covered with bowtruckles, he suddenly remembered that he hadn't brought woodjacks or fairy eggs with him.

This discovery made him a little annoyed, and then he realized that he seemed to have been out looking for potion ingredients like this for a long time without any preparation.Because Aurora was always there in the past, so there was no need for him to prepare anything.

Habits are really a nuisance sometimes, and it will make you spend twice as long when it is not appropriate.

Snape stopped where he was for a while, then walked deeper into the Forbidden Forest.He remembered that there were often some ground turtles living by that river, and the overly humid environment made them have to drill out of the soil to get more air.So the odds of finding wood turtles by the river are greater than anywhere else in the forest.

Before reaching the river, a familiar crisp and smooth female voice first pierced through the condensed green air and came to Snape, muttering some intermittent words in a low voice: "Words themselves are powerless, you feel It is the one who speaks who is hurt. He is in your eyes... that even a thin thread becomes a sharp silver needle..."

"Be strong, honey. No one can hurt you unless you let them hurt..."

Snape followed the sound and the gurgling water to the river, and easily saw the owner of the sound.

It was a thick tree trunk covered with moss fluff and umbrella-shaped mushrooms. The trunk was slanted, with luxuriant branches and leaves, almost parallel to the water surface. The shadow melted into the emerald green river and pale water.Aurora lay on it, holding two thin pieces of parchment in her hand and looking at it seriously.Her bare feet poked out from under her knotted tan skirt and drenched in the water, and the joyful swirl of the rushing water brushed her slender white ankles, her shoes were tied with laces and hung aside with her satchel on the branches.

Her long hair hangs among the branches of the trees, hanging down silently one by one, like light sunlight gently penetrating the shade of the trees.

The black thestrals and the white eagle horse stepped on the river and kicked each other, guarding a place very close to Aurora, like two dedicated knights.

Snape noticed that she was wearing makeup, her voluptuous lips opened and closed softly, blooming like flowers, and there was a faint crimson blush at the corners of her delicate eyes.

This makeup made her look as if she drank an aging agent, and she suddenly grew ten years older, like a little bit of stunning red lips revealed by a green apple.

She looked at the paper in her hand for the last time, closed her eyes, and said with a sigh: "I will always love you."

What exactly is the affectionate and sad that the prefect said, why should the heroine go to the hero since she feels sad?Aurora felt that she couldn't understand the character's thinking, and the character's last sentence "I will always love you" can't always express that feeling.

"I love you, I will always love you." She tried to repeat this sentence over and over again, using different tones, trying to describe the mood of the portrait godmother as much as possible, "I love you."

It's still not right, I don't have the talent for acting at all, I'm only suitable for sitting by the side and applauding, this kind of thing is more suitable for her.

Aurora resignedly slapped the line paper towards her face, the tip of her nose hurt from the palm of her hand, and the faint aroma of ink filled her nasal cavity, dispelling her anxiety.She habitually reached for her satchel, which contained her acoustic guitar.Since having this satchel, Aurora has always carried the acoustic guitar with her.

She didn't open her eyes, she touched those cold and tough guitar strings with her fingers just by feeling, and as she rubbed her fingertips, a piece of clear and smooth music immediately spread in the dark gray-green Forbidden Forest.

The emerald deep river rushed under the trunk of the tree where Aurora lay, washing over her wobbly feet that were hooked together.The sound of her playing fell on the river surface, turning into a tail of shining silver fish, rushing into the distance together with the water splash.

Buckbeak walked through the water and the dense leaves, and found the Potions Professor who was crouching in the shadows collecting ground turtles, and let out a long scream.Aurora opened her eyes to touch its plump and smooth wings, she was still humming the lines of her own play along with the unfinished tune, honing the necessary tone to speak the last words, then turned her head and saw Snape.

She quickly sat up from the tree trunk, stepped barefoot into the cool river water up to her calves, the parchment full of lines fell into the river along her slipped skirt and was washed away, the fine chill flowed along her Kissed skin climbs up the top of the head.

It turns out that people make mistakes all the time, especially when you're nervous.Aurora couldn't tell what she was nervous about, but the moment she saw Snape, she almost fell off the tree trunk, and jumped in the river with bare feet several times before she stabilized, the soles of her feet were rubbed by stones and sand It hurts a bit.And this pain aggravated the burden on her tongue, causing it to follow the inertia of the lines that had just been repeated too many times when it was time to say hello, and blurted out: "I love you."

In an instant, she felt that her brain had gone on strike, only her heart was still beating, and the blood was slapping frantically on the eardrums, making a buzzing sound.

"Wait, professor, please listen to my explanation..."

Snape's hand, which was holding the wand to collect the wood turtles, paused for a moment. After putting the last wood turtle into the glass bottle in his hand, he stood up, turned his head to look at the girl standing in the river again, and raised his eyebrows. , the expressionless face was pale and cold, and the eyes were mean: "Are you a repeater, Miss Field. I hope you can keep this function of yours in your potion learning. Is there any other way to brew it?" So complicated that even if you repeat it so many times mechanically, the effect is still average?"

Aurora bit her lip, saying that she was afraid that you would be afraid of the professor. She could name a hundred potions like this, which were still complicated and difficult for her even though she had repeated them countless times.

"Also, three points will be deducted from Hufflepuff for trespassing in the Forbidden Forest," Snape said finally.

Merlin, she really wanted to slam her head on the tree trunk and forget it.Opening her mouth for a long time, she didn't know what to say, and finally Aurora could only hold back a sentence: "I'm sorry, Professor, I'm not... I'm..." The more she tried to explain, the more her tongue became knotted. She simply grabbed her satchel and ran out of the river with the guitar in her arms. Come out, avoid Snape and run all the way towards the edge of the Forbidden Forest without stopping, not daring to look back at the other party's expression.

It wasn't until she stepped on the sunny, dry, hard floor of Hogwarts Castle that Aurora belatedly remembered that she had just forgotten to put on her shoes.

To make matters worse, besides the winter boots, this was the only pair of shoes she had.

The evening sunset enveloped her lightly, and the brilliant light became a heavy burden at this moment.Aurora stood there and hesitated for a while, when an owl hooted overhead.She looked up, and a pair of light yellow canvas shoes were thrown down and rolled twice on the grass, landing right next to her feet.

She remembered the owl, the one who had brought Snape's presents at Christmas.

Aurora followed the flight path of the owl. At the corner of the corridor on the first floor of the castle, the owl retracted its wings and slid down on Snape's raised arm.He reached out and touched the owl's feathers, and left without looking up, as if he had just been taking the owl for a walk.The magnificent setting sun of golden red sprinkled all over his body, and the thick shadows dragged behind him.

She stood there until she could no longer see that figure, then picked up her shoes, stepped on the colorful imprints of the sun everywhere, and ran happily towards Hufflepuff's dormitory, her long hair of the same color swaying behind her.A small warmth came from the soles of the feet, soaking in the softness of the heart.

The lines of the script broke into Aurora's mind for no reason-"I will always love you".

……

June.

The play was performed very successfully.Aurora's scenes are minimal, and there's only one frame for the entire range of events.Every time the curtain was raised, she could sneak a chat with a first-year Gryffindor girl next to her who was playing a maid.The other party wanted to ask Aurora to go to Hogsmeade to buy some Honeydukes chocolates for her, and Aurora readily agreed.

But what surprised her was that the kind of chocolate the girl wanted to buy was Honeydukes' signature variety called Cupid's Kiss, and the price was relatively expensive.Aurora enthusiastically recommended to her several other types that are much more affordable, not so expensive and taste good—it should be, anyway, she doesn’t like chocolate and candy, and Caroline is in this regard An expert, and she's generally right.

The little Gryffindor girl in front of her suddenly touched her face shyly, and insisted on the kind she said before: "I want to give it to others, so I want the most popular chocolate from Honeydukes. They say love God’s Kiss chocolate has a magical power, when you give it to someone, that person can feel your heart.”

Ah, it turned out to be a sweet little angel in love, which Aurora understood in an instant.But... Merlin, she's only 11 years old!

So again the difference between wizards and Muggles comes into play.Wizards usually seal their marriages ahead of time, giving birth to their first child at the age of 20.Muggles don't have such a concept at all, they can marry and divorce as they like, and they don't have such a strong sense of loyalty as wizards.

Aurora promised to deliver the chocolates to the girl this weekend, and if it was inconvenient for her then, Aurora could also deliver them to her dormitory.Anyway, Vox is also a Gryffindor, so it's easy to let him take it in and find a girl to give it to him.

However, when Aurora finished speaking, the girl froze for a moment, her fair and tender face suddenly turned pink.Aurora was stunned for a moment, and Hufflepuff's talent for gossip came online instantly: "The one you like, isn't it Gerard Chevalier? We all call him Vaux."

The girl nodded indiscriminately, and leaned closer to the frame: "The way he plays the violin is really charming."

Do little girls nowadays like this kind of boy who is full of youthful literary melancholy?It's like Regulus' Defense Against the Dark Arts class is full every day and never needs to be called.

The curtain in front of her slowly opened, and Aurora, lying on the frame, suddenly remembered a joke she made with Vaux when she was a child.At that time, she asked him curiously why he didn't learn the piano, and Vaux looked at her seriously and said, because no matter how great Chopin was, he couldn't play the sadness in his heart.

Thinking of this, she couldn't help laughing.

So Snape, who was the head of Slytherin, was sitting in the first row. After the curtain was lifted, he saw the blond girl with exquisite make-up in front of him smiling with crooked eyebrows, red lips and white teeth.

He glanced at it, and soon the announcer announced the end of the performance. Aurora lifted her large and heavy skirt and jumped out from behind the picture frame, standing in the center of the stage, laughing and waving to the audience with other actors.

Third grade, it's over.

The author has something to say:

Congratulations to Aurora for unlocking the skill - godmother smile.

This is a transitional chapter, the summer vacation of the third grade is coming.

Carvin, heartbroken
