[HP] Butterfly Effect

It was foggy on Saturday and today, and there was a vast expanse of white everywhere. Standing on the castle, you couldn’t even see the Black Lake clearly. You could only see the silent shadows of the surrounding Forbidden Forest in the fog. Shallow, surrounded Hogwarts like a giant snake hiding behind the smoke, with its head and tail in its mouth.

Aurora still felt very tired when she got up early, because she barely slept last night, she had been in a light sleep state, and woke up several times.When he woke up for the last time, there was finally a weak twilight extending from behind the gap in the bed curtain.

She hurriedly settled the breakfast problem in the kitchen, and then left the castle to pick up Remus Lupine, who had just received a letter last night and said he would come over immediately this morning.She didn't wait long in the cold wind and frosty fog, when she heard the familiar rumble of the train, and the hazy yellow headlights gradually approached in the fog, making it hazy.

After Remus got out of the car, he saw Aurora waving at him at a glance, and quickly walked a few steps to her and hugged her.Aurora smelled wet pine needles on him, as if he had just walked through a forest.After letting go, he patted Aurora's head and asked, "Has anyone from the Ministry of Magic come?"

"Soon." Aurora lowered her head halfway, "Professor Dumbledore said that the guardian must be present." At this point, Aurora looked at him guiltily, "I'm sorry for bringing you into this."

"What are you talking about. In fact, I have been in the Ministry of Magic more times than you can imagine." Remus smiled. "After all, we are not the kind of people who are suitable for staying in school, I think I can understand how you feel. But as long as there is a ray of hope, go for it. Let's go."

Aurora nodded, knowing that Remus was talking about his own werewolf status.Imagine what would happen if the students around her knew that one of her classmates was a werewolf. Aurora couldn't imagine how Remus had hidden himself during the seven years at Hogwarts.

"Where are you going after school?" Remus' words interrupted Aurora's thoughts.She replied: "The principal's office, they're all there."

When he reached the lawn outside the castle, Remus stopped suddenly, looked up at Hogwarts, whose outline was blurred by the white mist, for a while, then lowered his head and smiled at Aurora who was watching him A moment: "I haven't been back for a long time, I'm a little emotional."

Perhaps because of the fog curtain, Aurora always felt that Remus' expression was a little unreal, with a secret sadness.She raised the corner of her mouth and grabbed Remus's hand: "Then I think, this place has given you a lot of happy memories?"

"Of course."

"I guess it has something to do with Sirius."

"It's so easy," Remus said with a smile.

As soon as the two of them walked into the school, they found that the corridor was extremely lively. It seemed that all the students ran out all of a sudden, and everyone was chatting about something. The castle had never been so noisy.Soon, the voices of Professor Flitwick and Professor Sprout came from the second floor, meaning to let everyone go back to the classroom for the class that should be attended, and go to another place if there is no class. In short, don’t gather around here .

At this time, the fat monk came out from the wall, straightened his hat, and waved to Aurora: "Good morning, kid." "Good morning." Aurora replied quickly, pulling Remus around those who were too busy. Intensive gazes and crowds ran all the way to the principal's office.

Walking through the very familiar corridors in memory, watching those long-lasting pillars and statues quickly receding beside him, Remus couldn't help but say: "It seems that there is still one thing that hasn't changed here, no matter when, as long as there is something new When something happens, it always gets everyone’s attention.”

"Yeah...uh." Aurora stopped at the door of the principal's office, and was startled when she saw the young man in black standing at the door, "Professor Snape."

The other party's hands were in the pockets of the black coat, and he habitually raised his chin slightly to look at the two.His expression was the same as usual, but the weak light in the environment aggravated the shadows on his body, making him look like the thick darkness even on the tips of his hair, which was very oppressive.

"Severus." Remus' surprise was fleeting, and he quickly came back to his senses. He greeted him gently, and squeezed Aurora's hand tightly.Snape raised his eyebrows, his smile was perfunctory and hypocritical, and his low voice fell into the air with a piercing sharp feeling: "I'm still worried if you're lost."

As he spoke, he glanced at the two people, turned around and said the password to enter the office, and behind the automatically removed dripping stone beast was the stairs.Aurora didn't know why, but she always felt that after being looked at by him just now, the wrist exposed outside the cuff was extremely cold, as if it had been scratched by some sharp weapon.

After entering inside, Aurora suddenly understood why those students ran out just now.She looked in surprise at the man standing by the window who was whispering something to Dumbledore: "Mr. Scamander?!"

After hearing this, Remus also looked at the strange face in surprise.

After Newt turned sideways, he also saw Aurora, and raised his hand to let Pickett climb on the back of his hand.The little guy happily waved his slender arms at Aurora, and Aurora shook his hand a little unresponsively, and then realized that Pickett was poking his head out of the gap in his hat Tea Roll waved.

"Why are you here?" Aurora looked at him incredulously, and then looked at Dumbledore aside. "Actually, Professor Keitel wrote to me." Newt grabbed Pickett and let him lie back in his coat pocket, "He said you're in some trouble, let me see Can you come and help me?"

"But...I..." Aurora let go of Remus's hand, scratched at his hair, and finally looked up with a sad face after a while, "How could so many people be implicated? I..."

"Well... Actually, from the first time I received Professor Keitel's letter saying that you and I belong to the same kind of people, until now, I'm actually not too surprised by what happened today." Newt Not proficiently comforting, "I can't say that kind of premonition, of course I didn't say..." Speaking of this, he looked at Dumbledore aside with a little frustration, "Well, you are right, I Really bad at comforting people."

The old principal smiled, tilting his head slightly to look at the depressed blond girl, "Don't think too much, Aurora. Now that something has happened, just find a way to fix it, and no one can guarantee that they will never make mistakes, at least There are still many people willing to help you, which is a good thing.”

"Thank you, sir."

Remus patted Aurora on the shoulder, glanced out of the corner of his eye at Snape who had been standing by the side without any intention of interjecting, and was suddenly a little unsure of what he meant by staying here.Because no matter from the academy or other perspectives, it seemed that Snape had no reason to stay here.However, he soon realized that whatever the reason for Snape being here, it must have something to do with Dumbledore, otherwise he wouldn't be here.

Soon, people from the Department of Magical Creatures Management and Control of the Ministry of Magic came to the Hogwarts auditorium, where Aurora, Remus, Dumbledore, and Snape were already waiting there.There were a total of five people who came. Aurora basically had a vague impression of these people. She had seen them in the last cloud-eating whale incident in London, but she couldn't remember their respective names.

Leading the charge was Maurice Gyan, a Ministry of Magic clerk on the Dangerous Creatures Committee.He looks about 40 to [-] years old, with a slender build, wearing a pair of glasses with gold chains, and a very formal black and gray retro suit. His expression reveals a kind of rigid indifference.

"Hello, Principal Dumbledore." Morris said, his voice was hoarse and hoarse, which reminded Aurora of the friction feeling of sandpaper scraping against hard objects, "I believe you and the others are already very clear about our purpose, How about we start right away?"

Dumbledore nodded with a calm expression: "Of course." Then, he turned his head towards Aurora, and pointed to a chair at the bottom of the stairs, "Sit there, Aurora."

Aurora complied, and Remus stood beside her as guardian.Her position was exactly at the intersection of the extension lines of the windows around the auditorium, and the light surrounded her from head to toe, forming an invisible pressure that made her face look distortedly pale.The Ministry of Magic staff sat on the steps, opposite Aurora, while Dumbledore and Snape stood out of the reach of the light.

This feeling was very strange, and it gave her the illusion of going back in time, as if she had come to the Ministry of Magic again, preparing to attend the criminal trial about Edmond and Snape.

Only this time it was reversed, and she became the one being tried.

Morris crossed his fingers and placed it on the table, staring straight at her with silver-gray eyes: "Miss Aurora Rose Field. We learned that there was an incident in Hogwarts that you kept privately. The riots caused by magical creatures, right?"

"Yes." Aurora answered briefly.

"May I ask if you know the level of danger these magical creatures belong to?"

"know."

"Then I guess you must also know that it's against the rules to keep these magical creatures in schools, right?"

Aurora was silent for a moment, closed her eyes and replied: "Yes." Her voice sounded like a broken pain, and the ending trembled.

"Where did you find these magical creatures?" Morris asked again.

Aurora restrained her urge to tremble, quickly weighed the pros and cons, and then replied: "In the forbidden forest of the school, and in the forest outside London. They...some were injured at the time, so I brought them back for treatment .”

After hearing these words, Snape tilted his head slightly, rolled his dark eyes, and glanced at Aurora quickly.The girl was wrapped in a large black winter coat, like a portrait carved on a black base map, clear and vivid, thin and delicate.

He knew that the other party's half-truths and half-false words were to prevent the Ministry of Magic from involving Newt because of birds and snakes, and the excuse of the Forbidden Forest was also to convince the Ministry of Magic that she collected all these from beginning to end. .After all, the school stipulates that students cannot enter the Forbidden Forest unless they are locked up and punished.As for how many magical creatures there are in the Forbidden Forest, the Ministry of Magic has no plan to test them. No matter what Dumbledore says about the Forbidden Forest, they can only accept it.

This statement is the safest, and of course the one that is most detrimental to herself.

He twitched the corners of his mouth, forced a sneer, and had no doubt that if Aurora was alone here today, she would be able to send herself to Azkaban very smoothly.

"Regarding this, I think I am also responsible as the headmaster of Hogwarts." Dumbledore suddenly said gently and politely, "After I knew that Miss Field was a natural animal trainer, I didn't pay attention to her ability and Therefore, she is driven by the influence of her talent to get close to those magical creatures but does not have enough control ability. In fact, I think that no matter whether it is the school teacher from the Ministry of Magic Everyone, you are inexperienced in how to guide a natural animal trainer. So I don't think this is the responsibility of Miss Field alone."

Aurora looked up and saw Dumbledore walking in front of her, facing Morris and they continued: "Of course, I'm not saying that it's right for her to raise these magical creatures. But please allow me to explain, those in the Forbidden Forest There are many more and more dangerous magical creatures, but they have never come to school to frighten students. For example, the acromantula, whose danger level is higher than that of the bird snake and the winged devil, is more vicious and Untamable. If you would like to verify the truth of my words, our master Hagrid will be happy to show you their lairs."

Dumbledore emphasized the word "scare" deliberately, and Aurora guessed that he was hinting to the Ministry of Magic that no one was hurt in this incident.

The red-haired witch Maya Stone next to Morris twitched violently when she heard the word acromantula, "...that's unnecessary."

Dumbledore nodded, speaking slowly and modestly, with a calm attitude: "This shows that these innocent magical creatures are not the ones who went wrong, just like the last time the magical creature smuggling in London went out of control. And they were remedied after Miss Field Next, no student was harmed."

Remus listened quietly, and found that the representatives sent by the Ministry of Magic today were surprisingly quiet and cooperative.

"So my point of defense is that Miss Field obviously has no intention of deliberately harming or threatening the safety of the school. What she needs is self-reflection and proper and accurate guidance." Dumbledore's hand slid in the air "I think, as the representative of the collective interests of all wizards, the Ministry of Magic should be able to fully consider and consider each wizard's special situation. After all..." he said, looking back at Aurora.Through a layer of light and shadow, Aurora couldn't see Dumbledore's eyes clearly, but only saw the mellow sea blue in the other's eyes.

"Wizards like natural animal trainers are really rare. As long as they can be properly guided, I think Miss Field can grow very well." Dumbledore said, with a meaningful tone, "Besides, we can't just because of She couldn't control the effects of her gift and punished her too severely. If we did, we would be no different from some Muggles who persecute wizards for fear of magic, wouldn't we?"

Snape glanced at Dumbledore, wondering if he should admire his art of speaking and defence.

Maurice seemed to be stimulated by Dumbledore's last words, and he looked up a little unhappy and said: "Of course the Ministry of Magic will give full consideration to the special circumstances of each wizard, there is no doubt about it."

As he spoke, he discussed in a low voice with several other wizards for a while.In the end, he looked directly at the principal in front of him again, and said in a very strict and formal tone: "I noticed that you mentioned the phrase 'the impact of talent' several times just now, and it seems that you think that, Miss Field's closeness to those magical creatures is driven by her talent, and she is not able to be controlled by herself. Is there any evidence for this statement?"

Aurora suddenly thought of Helga's manuscript, which contained clear records.However, before she finished thinking, Dumbledore happily answered Morris' question: "Of course. Regarding this question, I think there is nothing more appropriate and convincing than this witness's words."

witness?Could it be...

Aurora turned her head in shock, and she saw Newt walking in from outside the auditorium carrying his suitcase.The expressions of Morris and the others suddenly became very exciting, as if they didn't expect Newt to appear.Mai Ya exchanged a look with several others, shrugged, and said nothing.

Morris coughed, "Then, Mr. Scamander, please briefly tell me some details about your talent."

Newt moved the hand in the coat pocket, his voice was smooth and light, and his eyes kept falling on the light ball on the floor beside Aurora: "What Principal Dumbledore said is true. We have such abilities , It is not so much a gift, but an instinct. We will feel all the emotions of magical creatures and be affected by them, so we will involuntarily protect and get close to them. At the same time, our own emotions will also infect them, expressing Just now..." he said, stretching out his hand towards Aurora, "The loss of control of our emotions will lead to the loss of control of the surrounding magical creatures. There is no way to completely eliminate this situation."

He doesn't seem very used to making eye contact, he'd rather stare at the floor or something than that.Morris and the others were not surprised by Newt's habit, and had no intention of correcting him.

"Then there is no way to control this situation?"

"Of course not." Newt retorted subconsciously after hearing this, looked up at Morris, and then looked away, "It can be controlled through continuous guidance and practice, just like learning other magic."

Immediately afterwards, he said, "If possible. I think I can teach Aurora how to control and manage her talents."

Aurora looked at him with wide eyes, and he gave a short smile.

Meiya snorted, and said: "I think this proposal is good. After all, this matter is that other students were taken aback, 'no blood, no foul'." She quoted Muggles quite skillfully A well-known saying in society.Then she went on to say: "However, this kind of thing is still too dangerous. No accident this time does not mean that it will be so lucky in the future. Necessary measures must be taken."

"Couldn't agree more," Dumbledore duly echoed.

"Since Mr. Scamander is willing, we have no objection. Therefore, our proposal is." Morris raised his glasses, "Before Miss Field can skillfully control her talent, she needs a guarantor to come Control her behavior. For example, when she comes into contact with magical creatures again, she must be accompanied by this guarantor. We will put a monitoring spell on this satchel containing magical creatures to ensure that for a period of time, We can know exactly what happened every time it was opened. If during this period, Miss Field made such a dangerous situation again, then we have to consider taking more severe measures. You know, Azka It's not like Ben doesn't have cells for underage wizards."

As he said that, Morris looked at Remus at the side: "This task cannot be entrusted to the guardian. After all, Miss Field's guardian also failed this time."

Aurora looked at Remus apologetically, but Remus just smiled and stroked her hair, signaling her not to worry about it.

"If that's the case..." Dumbledore pondered for a while, and Snape who hadn't spoken at the side suddenly said, "Then I think I might be quite suitable for the role of guarantor."

The smile on Remus' face froze for a moment, and he and Aurora looked at him in disbelief.

Morris frowned, and didn't seem to understand the meaning of Snape's sudden interjection, but he still asked dutifully: "Mr. Snape means that he is willing to be Miss Field's guarantor until she has enough until the ability to mature and use one's own talent?"

Wait, isn't this development quite right... Aurora is a little bewildered. Regarding the concept of guarantor, why are there so many modifiers suddenly added? Is it because of time?And why Snape...wasn't he the one who scolded her why she couldn't just stand aside last time?why he...

"I..." Aurora was about to say something, but after meeting Dumbledore's eyes, she had to shut up again.

"In this incident, the students who were frightened and reported to the Ministry of Magic came from the academy I manage, so I don't need to protect Miss Field." Snape said calmly, as if he was reading a manuscript, Can't capture any emotional color, "Moreover, Miss Field is not a student of my college. Before this, it has been proved in the criminal trial about me and Miss Field's father that I and this student from another college Not personal."

After seeing Morris and the others nodding slightly, Snape continued: "So all in all, I think I should be quite suitable. After all, I don't want my students to be scared by those magical creatures again. Just like you That being said, no one can guarantee that other people will have such good luck next time."

Hearing this, Remus basically understood the reason why Snape also participated in this interrogation.But to be honest, this reason is a bit difficult for him to digest.

"If Miss Field makes another mistake in the future, you will be implicated as well. Are you aware of this?" Morris felt the need to confirm.

"Then I think I have to do my best to ensure that Miss Field doesn't make mistakes again." Snape replied politely.

"Well, what does Headmaster Dumbledore think?" Morris asked.

"I have no problem with Severus' proposal." Dumbledore said with a nod.

"And what about Mr. Lupine?"

"...Well...I think it's pretty good too." Remus replied with a bit of difficulty.

"What does Mr. Scamander think?"

"...? Good." Newt probably didn't expect to ask him.

Aurora looked at Morris with wide eyes, and found that the other party asked the opinions of the people around here, but ignored herself.

So are you really not going to ask the other party's opinion? !

Morris obviously didn't intend to ask, but got up and walked down directly, and shook hands with Dumbledore: "Thank you for your cooperation this time, I think, I can also deal with the minister."

Maia snapped her fingers in front of Aurora who was still in a daze, and looked at her with a smile: "Be happy, little girl. Your situation is much better than that of Mr. Scamander back then. You are still in Hoag And Watts, miss."

To be honest, Aurora thought of many scenarios in which she would be thrown out of Hogwarts, but she never imagined that the result would be like this.She tried to make her expression lively and not so rigid, such as making a smiling face to thank her guarantor professor.But after trying for a long time, she still could only maintain the shock at the beginning and look at him.

Her mind is already filled with various exclamation marks and question marks, and other than that, there is a very secret feeling of joy.After all... As a Hufflepuff student, she really doesn't have many chances to get close to this Slytherin head.

but……

"Okay, Miss Field. Get out your satchel, we need to mark it." Morris said, drawing out his wand.

Aurora handed the satchel mechanically, watching Morris cast a spell on it and handing it back to herself.

"In the next period of time, I think we may see each other more often, Miss Field."

"Ah... ok."

All this was completely beyond her expectation, and Aurora didn't know how to react, so she could only follow the other party's words blankly.It wasn't until she followed Remus to the edge of the castle that her breath was suffocated by the damp winter wind that she came back to her senses and realized that she had left the auditorium.

"I want to say, this is really surprising." Remus looked at the girl in front of him who seemed to have finally returned to normal, and said, "Actually, I was thinking of a very funny idea just now."

"what?"

"Fortunately, the person standing here today is me instead of Sirius, otherwise he just lifted the roof of the Hogwarts Great Hall."

Aurora smiled reluctantly, and had to admit that Remus' words were very graphic.

Seeing her finally smile, Remus breathed a sigh of relief, looked at her solemnly and said, "Aurora, I'm glad you're still here, this incident didn't cause too much serious damage to your studies As for the guarantor, although I think this may be what Dumbledore meant, but..."

He was silent for a while, then looked at Aurora and continued: "What I want to say is, keep your distance from him, okay?"

"Distance." Aurora repeated unconsciously, and then quickly realized, "Of course. I mean, this is the easiest. Professor Snape doesn't seem to be the type who is willing to get closer to others." isn't he?"

"That's right." Remus nodded, his expression a little elusive, "I think so."

The thick mist gradually dissipated behind him, and Aurora saw the outline of the Forbidden Forest slowly becoming clear behind him, as if it had just woken up from a long sleep, fresh and green.

The wind picked up and the white mist cleared away.

The author has something to say:

A chapter with a word count explosion.

Let me remind you first, some friends may not understand why Newt’s cuteness got involved, because in the previous chapters, it was written that Aurora and Newt had a very stable correspondence, and the two had hit it off before. Friends feel, and their talents and personalities are quite similar to this experience, plus they are both the favorite students of Professor Keitel, so it is normal to help each other.

And in fact, Lao Deng didn't propose the professor as the guarantor this time, it's sugar! ! !

Finally, I saw a few friends who crawled over from the pit next door wanted a second brush. emmmmmmm, now because of Mrs. ty's matter, it's common practice to report each other, I'm afraid, I dare not do it.And...to be honest...Although the pit next door is my painstaking effort written word by word...But the atmosphere experience is extremely poor, too many ky...I basically haven't gone back to see it...

So, emmmmmmm, please lie down in this HP pit [squeeze the restless you].

In the end, I am also very worried about why this article is so long... When will it end... There is also a special episode of Snake Badger Zu.
