[HP] Butterfly Effect

Buried in a darkness that was so quiet that it was almost dead, you could hear the footsteps of death approaching with every breath.His bloodstained hands pressed to the ground as he groped his way, trying to find the wand that had just been thrown out of his hand by the blast and fall.

The broken finger bones hit a square tin box, stimulating sharp pain.He traced the shape of the object with his muddy and bloodstained hand, and the tip of his finger found a loose button-like bump.

He pressed down, and suddenly there was a tender and sweet voice of a clean girl in front of him, which was as clear as a gentle spring flowing into this impenetrable darkness.

"They told me to tell you, don't open that little door in the corner." She said this in a place he couldn't see and touch, as if right in front of him.

……

November 1980, [-], Plymouth, UK

Plymouth is near the sea, and it is always soaked in thick white sea fog in late autumn.Snape stood on the sand, out of reach of the waves, his shoulder-length black hair disheveled by the clammy sea breeze.Here is a foggy scene, the milky white light of dawn still flows behind the gap between the clouds and the sea level, and the sky above is covered with shiny sapphire blue.

He heard the cracking sound of shells being crushed by hard objects behind him, and when he turned his head slightly, he saw Bellatrix who had just arrived frowning and kicking away the debris.Then, she brushed back her thick black curly hair, letting them spread out in the sea breeze, and habitually raised her chin and walked towards Snape, with a grin on her face, a particularly sinister smile, and disdain and contempt in her eyes Make no secret of it.

She turned the half-folded parchment around her fingertips, then raised her hand to let the letter hang down, and handed it to the pale young man in front of her: "Master gave it to you. Also, there are already people waiting there to meet you." is you."

Snape took the letter and heard Bellatrix say to him in a sneering tone, "Don't disappoint Master, Potions Master."

She stepped on the transparent waves blooming on the edge of the skirt and disappeared into the air.

The thin orange-red morning light struggled to squeeze out from under the sea fog, and fell on the azure blue sea, shining it sparklingly.Snape finished reading the letter in his hand, took out the quill in his pocket and wrote something on it, then folded it again, wrote "SS" on it, and called the owl to send it to Huo Dumbledore of Gwartz.

He stood up and walked towards the place mentioned on the letter.This still sleeping dock town is very quiet, so quiet that it seems that only the beating of the heart in my chest can be heard.

The wand slipped out of his cuff and stuck to his cool palm. Snape knew that he was walking a very dangerous path, and he could only move forward without turning back.When he first came here two years ago, he was still a loyal Death Eater, in order to kill the child of a member of the Order of the Phoenix who was protected by Dumbledore.

He remembered that the girl's name was Field.

But now, as a double agent, he came here to find out the Dark Lord's movements for the Order of the Phoenix in advance.

He remembered Sybill Trelawney's prophecy, "It was a boy born at the end of July."

He remembered the Dark Lord's decision after hearing himself say the prophecy, "Kill that boy, and I'll do it myself."

He remembered the oath he had made to Dumbledore in a dark night with no light, "Hide them all, I beg you. I can do anything for you."

This is the first thing.

Snape found the address that the Dark Lord said, in the north of Dock Town, inside the only primary school in the area.There was a man there who was also dressed in pitch black, and when he saw Snape coming, he lifted his wide hat, and it was Dylan Hopps.

"He's inside, and there are things the master wants." Dylan said, using an unlocking spell, and the tall iron door in front of him immediately opened docilely and harmlessly towards them, revealing the dark corridor inside and the lush vegetation in the garden .Clusters of pink and white flowers weigh heavily on the dark green branches, covering the twilight of the morning, and scattered dense petals are scattered everywhere.

In a lead bucket half full of water, a big red rose in bud was inserted obliquely alone, and the dark shadow of the flowers above the head was reflected on the water surface, silently.The strong fragrance of flowers is deposited in the windless and uncirculated air, which is so heavy and cold that one can hardly breathe.

Snape and Dylan walked to the corner of the campus playground, in front of an inconspicuous room. There was a metal signboard on the door, which said "Equipment Maintenance Room" in yellow spray paint.There was a strange sharp device on the top of the room, and the memory of his childhood in Muggle society reminded Snape that it was a clunky old-fashioned device used to receive signals.

The door was unlocked, Snape pressed his wand against the wooden door, and the golden bell above the door rang crisply.Behind the door, there are mechanical and electronic equipment placed everywhere inside.Too many and messy mechanical objects piled up into huge shadows, cutting down the faint light streaming down from the skylight.The large phonograph was disassembled, and the precision parts inside were scattered all over the place.In the corner, there are also some radios with deformed shells, heaters, dusty spotlights, crooked stereos and even other things whose names can no longer be identified from the only shells left, crowded there in dilapidated condition, and Shadows blend together.

It's almost like a large mechanical garbage recycling site, and there are so many of them incomplete corpses, it's surprising.

However, Snape soon discovered that the owner here was taking apart the irreparable equipment, picking out the working parts and assembling them on other things.The most obvious evidence of this was the large, impossibly cluttered, dark-brown work table with a radio in good condition that clearly looked reassembled.The wrench and screwdriver are still on the side.

Someone came in from behind another door in this room, and the wooden floor was creaked.Snape squinted his eyes, there were clear lines of dust floating in the air, a wrinkled man's face appeared behind the shadow, his light brown eyes looked straight at the tall and thin young man in front of him.

"Ba/Ray/T Fiennes." Snape said the other person's name without any fluctuation in his tone, as if he was reciting a certain name on an ordinary list.But B/R/T knew it was a death list.

"I'm quite surprised that he would send you guys to finish me off." Bar/Rett/T sat on a chair, took out a hand-rolled cigarette and lit it, and the smoke blurred his eyes, "You look very young."

"Where's the thing?" Snape tried to charm the thing out when he first came in, but it didn't work, it was apparently hidden by a protective spell, and only Bar/Ray/T know where.

Bar/Let/T didn't answer, just smiled strangely behind the smoke, still looking unhurried.Because he already knew that there would be such a day, and he was fully armed.

……

Aurora Field is nine years old, and no one in the school wants to talk to her at the elementary school in Quayside, except Vox.Because no one wants to talk to him, they are all heterogeneous.

From the day Vaux moved in, the two children have always been together, almost inseparable.According to Vaux, they moved several times and remained semi-adrift.The shortest stay, they had to move again before Vox even had time to unpack his own packed laundry and put it in the closet.

Today is Wednesday, the temperature is lower than yesterday, and the emerald green fog in the valley and the salty fog from the sea are pervasively entangled, covering the sky and the sun.Aurora wrapped the two egg sandwiches separately in paper bags and went out, turning her head to Vaux who just jumped down the stairs.While eating breakfast, the two children kicked the gravel on the side of the road and walked slowly to school.

The pebbles slammed against the manhole cover, the clouds above were gray and shiny, and the sun was floating, shaking in sight and then disappearing again.

"Don't wait for me tonight, I'm going to the studio on duty." Aurora said vaguely while biting a sandwich.

"Why is it you again? It was you two days ago." Vox frowned and said, "They did it on purpose, they just wanted you to be the last to leave, and it would be best to lock you up in the school alone."

"Don't worry, I quite like going to the studio, it's okay. When did you think I was locked in?" Aurora smiled.

"I knew you were the best to bully." Vox rolled her eyes, "I'm going to hurry back to cook at night, and then go to the hospital to send it to my dad, and I'll look for you when I come back."

"Ah."

In class, Ms. Anne is tirelessly teaching the children to distinguish between adjectives and verbs, checking whether yesterday's tense changes have been remembered.Aurora pulled out from under her notebook a thin storybook she had recently borrowed from the corner second-hand bookstore and one of her favorite stories.

She came to this strange world inexplicably for two years, and worked hard to learn everything here, but she still fell into a quagmire of negative emotions from time to time.So she has been adjusting her state of mind, diverting her attention to other things as much as possible.

Besides records and music, what interested her lately were the radios and books Vox had shown her.The voice from the ethereal distance, sometimes even the language of other countries, made her feel very strange.Every time she thought about how they crossed the vast sea of ​​people and found their destination accurately, Aurora felt as if she saw herself.The same is true for her, she came here in an incomprehensible way, but she didn't know where her destination was.

During the period when Marianne was getting sicker and sicker, she was always clumsy because of her age, and was often bullied and teased by other children in the town as a matter of course, Aurora was anxious and self-loathing about this strange world. Once reached a peak.

Once she even went back to the river where she said she didn't remember anything after falling into it, held her breath and jumped in like suicide, desperate to go back to where she came from, even if she didn't I don't know where I come from.This scene was witnessed by Remus Lupine, who happened to come to visit their mother and daughter, and pulled Aurora back from the water with a spell without saying a word.

How should I explain that I didn't want to die, but just tested it.Aurora was sitting on the grass drenched, and was scolded severely by Remus, which made her sober up a lot.

No matter who she was or where she was before, since there is no way to go back, she should work hard to adapt to this place.Dwelling in negativity forever won't help, it won't change anything.Everyone has a negative moment, and she finds a way to get rid of it.

Whether it's to join in the fun or find a place to go crazy, she should look forward.Maybe she will never be able to completely cure this disease, maybe it will recur at some point in the future, but at least she can control and face it.

Everyone has one or two hurdles that they can't get over in a lifetime, and it's nothing to worry about.

Thinking of this, she began to think about what interesting things she could hear on the radio in the studio after school.Her thoughts drifted out of the window, rising and falling over the English Channel, seeing a gorgeous and majestic sunrise on the sea through the low-hanging thick fog.

……

"Some things may be late, but they will never be absent. They are always waiting for you somewhere. In the morning, in the afternoon, on cloudy days, in sunny days, in spring, in winter. When it comes, You will know."

These are Bar/Let/T's last words, and now he fell to the ground, his body bent into a strange arc, his pupils collapsed, and he was not breathing.

"This old guy has a lot of backbone. He took poison/drugs before we came." Dylan poked Bar/Right in the face with the wand in his hand, and spat on the ground with a look of disdain.

Snape knelt down to examine his body, noticing that only one hand was gloved.He tore the glove off Barrett's hand, revealing a withered claw inside that had been charred and haggard enough to clearly see the shape of the entire palm bone. This strange symptom spread all the way to his shoulder.It was a wound caused by being burned by powerful black magic. It is a miracle that he can survive till now.

The trail is broken.

"Where did the old bastard hide that thing?" Dylan waved his wand, and all the mechanical objects on the closet fell with a clang.Some are still intact, and some are directly smashed into a pile of parts and shells.

In fact, even Snape and Dylan didn't know what they were looking for this time, and the Dark Lord didn't tell them.It's just that once you're at Bar/Let/T's house, you'll know it.Judging from the scars on Bar/Through's body, Snape guessed that it should be something with powerful black magic attached to it.

Something like this should be obvious.

Snape stood up and said coldly to Dylan, "Even if you set fire to this place, it won't let it jump in front of you by itself, get out of the way."

As he spoke, he walked in the direction where Ba/Lei/T had just come out.The Black Magic Test Charm finally had an extremely weak response here, and Snape began to search carefully in this narrow room that smelled of motor oil and books, not missing any detail.Dylan then joined in, digging three feet into the ground, trying to find the thing the Dark Lord told him about.

……

After school, the sun is completely far away from here, and the dark clouds are rolling in from the sea, ready to rain here at any time.

Aurora packed her schoolbag, said goodbye to Vaux, and walked towards the school's studio.She took the less traveled road all the way so that others and herself would feel comfortable.

She walked into the studio, took the key from the announcer who had just finished broadcasting the end-of-school broadcast, and started cleaning with her head down.She moved very slowly, and when the whole school was quiet, Aurora's cleaning work was basically completed.

She picked up the radio under the table, pressed the switch, and began to search for the channels she was familiar with.

……

"Found it!" Dylan smiled sinisterly, and took out the wooden box from the hole in the ceiling.Snape knew they had found the right thing, because almost as soon as he cracked those complicated protective spells and blew the ceiling, the wave of dark magic became stronger than ever.That was the result of the things inside instinctively releasing magic to protect themselves after being impacted.

"This old thing is quite good at hiding." Dylan said as he took the wooden box out of the ceiling.

However, while Dylan looked down at the wooden box in his hand greedily and in admiration, Snape keenly noticed a broken piece of wire under the wooden box.He looked up and saw a red electronic device inside counting down to two seconds left.

How could he have forgotten that since his defection from the Death Eaters, Barrett had been hiding in Muggle society, dealing with all kinds of electronic equipment and mechanical engineering, just like his Muggle father.He hides well and is the best at how to fight wizards the Muggle way.

Without the slightest hesitation, Snape used the Flying Charm to snatch the wooden box from Dylan's hand into his arms.Before the surprise in Dylan's eyes turned into fury, the next second, a violent explosion sound and impact came from the ceiling, and the whole room collapsed and buried everything in it.

Snape had just Apparated outside the door when a sharp piece of metal flew over and stabbed him deeply in the shoulder.He grunted in pain, the explosion behind his back continued, the huge impact dragged him and buried him in the ruins, and his wand flew out.

After the ultimate explosion, there was a silence close to death.

It's raining.

……

Aurora was startled by the sudden explosion.She walked to the corridor and looked outside. Under the smoky rain, the whole school and the street were normal, nothing special.

She was back in the studio, sitting in front of the radio.The antenna of the transmitter has not been retracted. This is what was left over from the school being used as a field command center during World War II. Now it has become the welfare of the teachers and students of the school.Every Friday afternoon, as long as the children behaved well, Miss Anne would reward them for listening to the radio for a while.

Their favorite is a program called "Sunset Owl". It starts every evening. Anyone who receives this channel can share their favorite stories with all listeners as long as they have a phone.They may have come from Scotland, or Northern Ireland, and their stories have added a layer of hazy and beautiful mystery after being separated by a long distance and a machine.

Today is still a day for sharing stories.Aurora took out the book that she had just finished reading recently and was her favorite book from her schoolbag.

She heard the host on the phone greet her tenderly, inviting her to share her favorite stories.

Imagine your voice flying across the UK.

Aurora cleared her throat, opened her book and began to read:

"Carolan discovered that small door shortly after moving."

Rain dances on her windowsill.

……

Snape woke up in a burst of extreme pain and dizziness, and he could feel his body temperature dropping with the loss of blood.The back of his clothes was sticky, and there was a fishy-sweet smell of rust in the air, which was blood, just like the taste in his mouth.

He shook hands in vain, wand out of hand.Surrounding him was an oppressive darkness that was almost solidified, binding him heavily.Snape tried to move his legs, it was difficult but he could move.It looked like he was buried in a safer triangle because he left the room at the last moment.But his shoulders have been tearing painfully, and the palms are damp, it's his blood.

They squeezed through the wound, covering Snape's body and the ground.The Grim Reaper folded its black and wide wings, and slid down beside Snape without a sound, watching his struggle with cold eyes.

The wooden box was pressed in his arms, Snape gritted his teeth, cold sweat protruded from his forehead densely, his bloodless pale face became as pale as white paper.He groped in the dark, trying to find his wand, if he could find it, he would be out of here soon.

He mentally calculated his injuries and the time left, and how many trauma potions were left in the house in Spider's End.This is how he stays awake.

Bar/Ray/T Fiennes was a very old and well-respected Death Eater before, and Snape hated himself for being careless and not finding out sooner that he wanted everyone who came to snatch the wooden box They all went with him to meet Merlin's plan.Obviously, Dylan has fulfilled Bar/Ray/T's wish, but he has not.

Snape groped forward with difficulty, but found a square tin box.He traced its line with his finger in a dazed circle, then quickly gave up and tried to wade across the thing to find his wand.

Fingertips inadvertently pressed a switch on the tin box, and a girl's clear and sweet voice suddenly sounded in the darkness, smooth and smooth, like a feather sweeping across your hearing, as gentle as a dream.

Snape froze for a moment, and heard the girl say to him from behind the machine, "They asked me to tell you, never open that little door in the corner. Do you know what that means, Caroline?"

Caroline, whose name is this?

Snape was a little dazed, thinking that he was hallucinating due to excessive blood loss.He bit his lip, frowning and continued fumbling for his wand.

The girl's voice continued, in the dark silence of death, there were circles of pale golden light, as dreamy and beautiful as the first ray of sunlight at dawn:

"Do you want to live in a dream?"

Snape ignored the voice, knowing it was coming from a radio.When he was a child, Tobia used to babble to the radio at home, and he himself fell asleep listening to the hypnotic music on some rainy nights.

"It is said that even the proudest soul is wounded by love. Is it so?"[1]

The girl's voice echoed in the dark and cramped space like a ghost, relieving some of Snape's growing tiredness and stress.When he heard this sentence, the movement of his hands stopped for a moment, and for a moment he subconsciously wanted to answer the voice.

However, the girl soon continued to tell her story, another fantastic world, a mother with button eyes, and a talking black cat.

The girl's voice suddenly became high-pitched, as if she was about to break free from behind the radio and caress Snape's blood-stained cheek: "No—! Don't leave me! I'll die without you! Don't leave me!"

The blood flowed more and more, and Snape gradually felt that he was about to lose his eyesight.However, his excellent willpower has not disintegrated, and it is still supporting him to persevere, survive, and survive.He desperately thought about the rainy night, his mother, the potions that made him addicted, and Lily.

He wanted to remind himself not to fall asleep, but was misled by the voice on the radio, and said the same thing as her:

"do not leave Me……"

He reached for his wand.

……

Aurora's voice turned soft again: "Carolan closed the door in front of her firmly and locked it with a key. She won."

At the end of the story, Aurora returned the radio and telephone to their original positions, put the transmitter in, closed the door of the studio, and ran briskly downstairs.

Unfortunately today, she didn't bring an umbrella and it was raining.But this is very normal for people living in the UK, Aurora walked into the gray rain curtain without any hesitation, and let the raindrops fall on her.

Turning a corner, Aurora glanced across the playground inadvertently, and suddenly found that something seemed missing.

Not a single house, just a pile of ruins.

Aurora stayed for a moment, running through the wind and rain and the distance of the playground to the pile of rubble.She stepped on the sign of "Equipment Maintenance Room" painted in yellow spray paint, and in front of her was a house that was almost razed to the ground.

"F...Mr. Fiennes?!" Aurora was dumbfounded, stammering as she looked at everything in front of her.

The stone in front of her suddenly floated up, and Aurora backed away in fright.Soon, she saw a bloody man crawl out tremblingly, then fell to the ground motionless.

The heavy rain became more intensive, and the thick and dazzling scarlet meandered from his body into a river, flowing down, staining the tiles under him red.

"Hey, how are you?" Aurora approached Snape cautiously, saw the wound on his shoulder, and quickly took off his coat to cover him from the continuous heavy rain.

"Hey, wake up!" Aurora called him a few times, realizing that he might have passed out, she quickly looked up and looked around, thinking of where to call the hospital.

"Aurora—!"

She turned her head and saw Vox, wearing a raincoat, approaching her on a bicycle from the other side of the rain and fog.

"Vox—!"

……

When Snape woke up again, everything he saw was strange.The open wooden window, the golden sunlight climbing in, the smell of washing powder and freesia in the air, and the smell of fish soup.

He tried to sit up, but the sharp pain in his shoulder held him back.He saw his wand and the wooden box, neatly arranged on the stool beside the bed.

The door opened, and Aurora came in and looked at him and said: "Are you awake? You are still injured, don't move around. Are you hungry? The fish soup will be ready soon, and I will call the doctor after you finish eating. "

Snape watched the other party run out, with long pale blond hair bouncing and swaying. After thinking for a while, he finally remembered that she was the daughter of Edmund Field and also lived in Dock Town.

So, that voice on the radio is her?She brought herself back?

Before he had time to think about it, Snape tried his best to get up, picked up his wand, put his hand on the wooden box, and disappeared into the apparition.

When Aurora came in with the fish soup, the pale young man with black hair was no longer visible.

"Why..." She turned around suddenly and looked towards the door, the fish soup in her hand splashed out and burned her hand.The whole bowl of soup was spilled on the ground, Aurora jumped away, stood in the sun, looked at the debris on the ground and the steaming soup for a while, and then began to squat down/body to pick up the debris one by one.

……

The wound had healed quickly under the action of Bai Xian, and Snape handed the wooden box to the Dark Lord after showing it to Dumbledore.

Neither of them told Snape what was inside, but he knew that, at least this time, he had successfully completed his double-agent mission.

This is just the beginning, he will be more careful in the future, so that there is no leakage.

After leaving from the Dark Lord, Snape returned to the house in Spider's End, found a bottle of potion with a special color from the cabinet, and came to the grass in the backyard of the Field family in Plymouth Dock Town again.

He saw Aurora running down the stairs, and he heard the clumsy sound of her shoes, which were a little too wide.Aurora wiped her hands with the apron tied around her waist, and then brushed her hair habitually. The light hair color was so soft and beautiful in the sun.

She ran into the room with half-drawn curtains, opened a drawer to look for things, grabbed a handful of rags and stuffed them in again, holding a notebook in her hand.

Then Aurora came to the kitchen, took advantage of the brilliant light of the setting sun to unzip her schoolbag, took out a few exercise books, opened the pages, and scratched the paper with the tip of the pen to make subtle movements.

Behind her, there was a cup of steaming boiling water.The sunlight faithfully engraved the shadow of the mist on the wall.

Snape took out the potion in his pocket, let it pour into the glass of plain water under the guidance of the magic power.

He stayed where he was, looking at the unaware blond girl.

A little thirsty.

thought Aurora.

She turned around, picked up the glass of water and drank it down.

Snape left.

That way, she won't remember ever seeing herself again.Nor would she accidentally say it when Sirius and Remus came to visit her.

This is just in case.

……

It rained heavily at night.

Snape was asleep, without the clear image of his mother, Irene, without the dusty esoteric Potions notes, without Lily.

Only the sound of explosions and endless darkness, the most familiar sound of beating, scolding and crying in childhood, the intermittent hoarse humming of mother, and the anxiety that he kept trying to find the wand to get rid of all this, the last words Barrett said, that girl's voice.

Pure to the gentleness of the soul.

"Some things may be late, but they will never be absent. They are always waiting for you somewhere. In the morning, in the afternoon, on cloudy days, in sunny days, in spring, in winter. When it comes, You will know."

Snape stared coldly at the shattered Bar/Rett's face in front of him.

— "It is said that even the proudest soul is wounded by love. Is that true?"

Snape didn't answer.

——"No—! Don't leave me! I'll die without you! Don't leave me!"

"Don't leave me..." He murmured in his sleep, but he didn't know who he was saying this to.

The author has something to say:

The chapter with an explosive word count can be regarded as making up for the fact that it was not updated two days ago. Recently, Kawen.

This chapter is currently my favorite so far, I don't know why.

This chapter is closely connected with the content of the main text. It happened in November 1980, that is, when the professor was just 20 years old and became a double agent.Aurora hasn't been to Hogwarts yet.

Mark [1] This sentence is the same as the story told by Aurora, it comes from "Coraline", Chinese translation, ghost mother.It's a great animated movie. I've watched it many times. It's great. I recommend it to you.

As for the sentence before □□ died, I made it up.What's in the wooden box...let's use our imaginations, it doesn't really matter anyway.

About the mental activity of Leo Rola in this chapter.I have always felt that traveling to another completely strange world without any memory is a very difficult thing to adapt to.In my setting, this will become a knot in Aurora's heart forever.Maybe with the passage of time, he will no longer care about this matter very much in the future, but he still feels a little melancholy and confused when he thinks about it.

I personally feel that this arrangement will make her look closer to reality, closer to normal people, and it can also promote the plot from time to time.

The stalk of the radio really pokes at me.I remember when I was watching "Sleepless in Seattle", the first time the heroine met and had a crush on the hero was when I was driving and listened to a broadcast about the hero.It was the male lead's son asking him to marry him [laughing and crying] Although the female lead's affection for the male lead is inexplicable, but this radio meme is real, and it pokes my heart.

Well, happy eating, okay, I'm dying of exhaustion.
