[HP]Blue Soul

Severus had received the letter in the hospital wing of Hogwarts, where the duo of Potter and Black had thrown something into his cauldron in Potions class while he wasn't looking, causing the cauldron to explode.He was distracted and didn't have time to pull out his wand to put an armor on himself, but the other students were not affected.So now he's alone in the hospital wing, all in bandages.

Madam Pomfrey glared at him several times when she applied the medicine to him. He was almost tied up like a mummy, but in fact his injuries were not particularly serious, at least compared to those who fell under the curse he set. Classmates, it is much better.However, Madam Pomfrey said he would need to be hospitalized for three days, meaning he would have to spend his weekends in the hospital wing.

Lily just came to see him, her sad eyes were red, and she hugged him and cried for a while.Severus had to comfort her a lot to get her to stop crying, and she told Severus that she would bring some food back tomorrow, and that she would strongly condemn the hijackers and ask them to come and apologize.Of course, Severus didn't think the hijackers would come to apologize. Not a while after Lily left, Lucius Malfoy turned in from behind the door, as if he had been waiting there for a long time.

He looked at Severus lying on the bed with a half-smile, and said ambiguously: "It seems that getting hurt is a little bit useful, isn't it? At least it will let you get the hug of the red rose of Gryffindor."

Severus gave him a blank look, "Maybe you have something useful in your head, like your—"

"How are you thinking? Join the Black Arts Society?" Lucius suddenly said seriously.

The Black Magic Society, a small group in Slytherin, includes most of the pure-blood families. They will learn black magic together, exchange black magic with each other, or some people will make an appointment to use black magic together.And this group has black magic resources that are not available in Hogwarts classrooms, which has a great appeal to Severus. He likes black magic and has even started to create jinxes.

However, he had some concerns about joining the Black Arts Society.

"What? Because of Gryffindor's red rose?" Lucius saw Severus' concerns.

Severus didn't answer, Lily was indeed a factor.As a Gryffindor, Lily's attitude towards black magic can be said to be extremely repulsive. When Lily knew what would happen when he joined the Black Magic Society, he didn't want to think about it.In addition, he was a little worried about Charlotte's opinion. Even in researching spells and brewing potions, she had always supported him, but if she knew that he had started to study black magic, would she still support him?

"I don't think you should give up this opportunity. You and I both know the charm of black magic, and you are much more talented than me." Lucius said, "I think if you enter the Black Magic Society, I can directly promote you to Vice President, you are fully capable of doing it." He paused and glanced into Severus' eyes, "Besides, if you join the Black Arts Society, your status in Slytherin will be different, Those fools of Wilkes will crawl at your feet..."

Severus imagined that scene for a moment, and an indescribable joy suddenly surged in his heart.Ever since he was kicked out of the dormitory by Wilkes on the day of enrollment, he often led a group of people to ridicule Severus and took the lead in isolating him.He even wanted to sneak into Severus' small room. Of course, after he was tortured by the triggered jinx trap set by Severus and lay in the medical wing for more than a week, he didn't dare to go to the hospital tomorrow. On the surface, he would do something to Severus, but he would still work hard on his words, maybe behind his back.

Compared with Wilkes' vipers who seem to be hiding in dark corners, the foursome are at least aboveboard, and there are back and forth between them. had some effect), he couldn't have let Potter hurt him.

At this moment, a huge owl suddenly flew in from the corridor, it was bigger than Lucius' horned owl, which made Lucius a little surprised, they watched it stop on the table beside the hospital bed, Stretched out the leg tied with the letter.

Severus immediately thought of Charlotte, whose last letter (the culprit of his disorientation) mentioned that she would borrow the owl from Alan Travers when she went to the manor. Write a letter yourself.This owl should belong to that Alan Travers.

He untied the envelope and opened it, and sure enough there were familiar handwriting inside.

The owl flew away in a moment of grandeur.

"This is?" Lucius asked.

"A friend," Severus replied.

He quickly read Charlotte's letter. He was skeptical about the elves, but he thought it was feasible for Alan Travers to let Charlotte be his assistant. Charlotte's talent really shouldn't buried.But first, he had to look up Alan Travers, he had to be a "safe" guy.

"What? What's wrong?" Lucius asked.Severus frowned as he read the letter.

"It's not a big deal." Severus thought about Alan Travers's exquisite attire. He tended to think that Alan Travers's family should also belong to a relatively well-established family, so Lucius should know this person?He asked, "Do you know Alan Travers?"

"Alan Travers?" Lucius thought for a while, "I haven't heard of it, but I know the Travers family. The Travers family is an old pure-blood family, and the current owner is Taberna Firth, but he is not very good. By the way, he has a son, Cozmo Travers, who is two years older than me, and he does well in front of the Duke of Darkness."

"Anyone else with the surname Travers?" Severus asked, frowning.

"Probably not anymore. As one of the 28 holy races, they pursue pure blood. They seldom intermarry with non-pure blood families—" Lucius raised his chin slightly and said, "Maybe the Alan Travers you are asking are them The delisters of the family, generally those who do not conform to their pure blood theory, will be delisted and kicked out of the family. ——What? What did he do to make you need to pay attention to him?”

"No, it's just that my friend ran into him. I need to understand how threatening he is." Severus was sure that Alan Travers was the one who was expelled from the family, but there was no doubt that even if he was expelled, Alan Travers also still has a huge fortune, so he has a luxurious manor and house elves.

"Looks like you're nervous about your friend—" Lucius said meaningfully, it didn't occur to him that the withdrawn Severus had another friend besides the Gryffindor rose.

The girl's smiling eyes came to Severus' mind, those sapphire eyes like blue water flowing, those eyes that he could never forget in every midnight dream.

Severus curled his lips slightly, but did not respond to Lucius' words.He folded the letter, put it under the pillow, and said to Lucius: "I will tell you about my decision before the exam about joining the Black Arts Society. I think you should focus more on your NEWT For the exam, I think it's pretty close, isn't it?"

"Thank you for reminding me. But with my grades, these can't be a big problem." Lucius said proudly, "I advise you to tell me your decision earlier, otherwise when I graduate, I will I can no longer manage the affairs of the academy."

"Well, I will," Severus said.

"In addition, your potions are of high quality, so you have a lot more orders. Philip Morris asked me if I want to increase your order quantity. What do you think?" Lucius twirled the wand in his hand and made it into a snake The shaped handle draws a rounded arc in the air.

Philip Morris is the owner of the potions shop.

"Okay." Severus didn't care about the quantity of orders, "but it's better not to keep the backlog in too short a time, I need a certain time buffer."

"Of course. Philip Morris will extend your order time, enough for you to brew the potion, but the order volume may increase during the summer vacation, and you may need to be prepared." Lucius said.

"It's possible—" Severus said, "but during the summer vacation, I don't have a suitable place to make potions." I have to go home during the summer vacation, and there is no place to make potions for him in Spinner's End, and neither does Irene. May offer him a place.

"That's not a problem. You can go to Diagon Alley. There is a complete set of crucible tools in the potion store. I believe Philip Morris will welcome you very much. He really wants to see you." Lucius said with a smile.

"That's good--"

"Why are you still here! The patient needs to rest!" Madam Pomfrey walked in, looking angrily at Lucius who was sitting beside the bed.

Lucius stood up with his impeccable smile, bowed gracefully to Madam Pomfrey, and said, "That's over, thank you, Madam Pomfrey." Then he turned to Severus Said, "Then I'll go first, and as for that, as soon as possible."

Severus nodded, and Lucius hurried out of the hospital wing.Madam Pomfrey looked at Severus dissatisfied, and she said: "I know that most of the potions used in the medical wing are actually made by you, but, as a person who is good at making potions, you should Know that potions aren't everything. Get some rest."

"I will, Madam Pomfrey." Severus pulled up the quilt and closed his eyes, but his mind didn't stop.He thought that when he recovered, he should go to Professor Kettleburn immediately, who had been teaching the Care of Fantastic Beasts at Hogwarts for a long time.He should have Fantastic Creatures Weekly there or he knows Alan Travers.If nothing else, Alan Travers may also be a student whose name Professor Kettleburn remembered.

Three days had passed since Severus had fully recovered.On Monday evening, Madam Pomfrey took off the bandages on him, and he recovered very well, without any scars on his body.Lily came to see him at noon, took the food she brought from the dining table in the auditorium, and ran away at the urging of her roommate Mary Macdonald.

As soon as Severus took off his hospital gown and greeted Madam Pomfrey, he couldn't wait to go to Professor Kettleburn's office. When he knocked on the door and entered, the newspaper in Professor Kettleburn's hand was still Without putting it down, Severus took a closer look, and it turned out to be "Fantastic Creatures Weekly".

When Professor Kettleburn saw Severus, he asked with some surprise: "First-year students? I don't think you have started the protection of magical animals class. What can I do for you?" He held the The publication was placed on the table, and he took two sips from the teacup beside him.

Severus glanced at the "Fantastic Creatures Weekly" on the table, thought about the sentence and said, "It's like this, I'm very interested in magical creatures. I saw a man named Alentra in a book before." I am very interested in the article written by Firth, and I want to read his other articles, but I have not found any relevant information about this person. You have studied magical creatures for many years, and you may know this person, so I would like to ask you for advice. .”

"You're extraordinary. Really extraordinary." Professor Kettleburn gave Severus an appreciative glance, "Slytherins have never been very enthusiastic about magical creatures, most of them don't quite understand magical creatures The beauty of it." He smacked his lips regretfully again, "Except for Alan. That's the Alan Travers you mentioned, he is my student and a Slytherin. Of course I have to be honest He doesn't have much talent in magical creatures, but he has enough enthusiasm." Kettleburn continued to laugh, "He has written a few good papers, and I believe he will become a good magical creature if he polishes it. Biologist.—By the way, you want to know about other articles by Alan Travers? Maybe you can look at Fantastic Creatures Weekly, which occasionally has his articles on the third and fourth pages." Keitel Professor Byrne stretched out his remaining right hand and held up the publications in front of him. His left hand had been broken at some point, and in fact he only had one leg left.

Severus smiled, and said, "That would be great. Professor, do you have any previous issues of Fantastic Creatures Weekly? There are articles by Alan Travers. If I want to find it myself, It might be difficult."

"Of course, of course." Professor Kettleburn cheerfully took out his wand from his sleeve, "It's rare that a student who starts to get in touch with magical creatures in the first grade is still from Slytherin." He shook his hand and said softly After uttering a spell, several copies of "Fantastic Creatures Weekly" flew over from the bookshelf, and he stuffed them into Severus' hands, and said, "You can take all of these, if I don't remember If you are wrong, there are articles by Allen in these books. Although he is my student-you'd better read the articles on the front page. The articles on the front page are usually from powerful figures in the world of magical creatures, and you will benefit a lot from reading them of."

Severus took the "Fantastic Creatures Weekly", bowed to Professor Kettleburn, and said, "Thank you, Professor. I will read these weekly magazines carefully. ——Professor, these need to be returned You? I mean—I would take the liberty of asking you to send me these publications, which I want to keep in my collection."

"Haha, of course. Allen probably didn't expect him to have such a supporter. Next time I meet him in Hogsmeade, I must tell him."

Professor Kettleburn readily gave Severus these weekly magazines.Of course, Severus wasn't really interested in magical creatures, after all, the only difference between most magical creatures for him was whether they were potion ingredients or not.From Professor Kettleburn, he probably understands that what Alan Travers said is true. He will send these weekly magazines to Charlotte and encourage Charlotte to be Alan Travers' assistant. , her talent would make her shine in the line, Severus was sure.

Before going back to the dormitory, Severus went to the auditorium to have dinner. After dinner, Lily came over and was relieved to see that Severus was completely fine.Then she saw the "Fantastic Creatures Weekly" that Severus was holding in his hand, and she asked curiously: "Why do you suddenly read things about magical creatures? We haven't started this course yet, have we?"

"For Charlotte, she's interested in it," Severus replied.

Standing by the door of the auditorium, Wilkes and his group walked past them, looking at Severus and Severus with a playful look, Severus frowned and stood in front of Lily, Those people sneered, mumbled something together and left in twos and threes.

"Oh, Charles! She really likes animals. Why did she suddenly want to know about Fantastic Beasts? I remember she stopped talking about Fantastic Beasts after watching "Where to Find Fantastic Beasts." Lily didn't pay attention to Will Or maybe she didn't want to see Slytherin, except for Severus.

"Ellen Travers, you remember. The magibiologist, he wanted to hire Charlotte as his assistant, so I got a few copies of this—" Severus raised his arm, " It contains articles by Alan Travers, which I think can be of use to Sherlock."

"Ahhh, that's great!" Lily jumped up happily, took Severus's free left hand, then leaned closer and said in a low voice, "Does that mean that Charles will often Appearing in the wizarding world? Even a name? It is possible to see her name in this weekly magazine in the future!"

Severus said helplessly, "You can expect that, Charlotte has such talent—"

"Lily, why are you still playing with the snotlings!" James Potter walked over with the other hijackers.

Lily gave James Potter a blank look, and said, "It's up to you." Ever since she asked these people to apologize to Severus and was rejected, she hated seeing these people even more.She turned her head to Severus and said, "I'll go back first, Sev. But it hasn't been mentioned in the letter from Charles to me. I must congratulate her in my next letter."

After Lily finished speaking, she stepped on James Potter, glared at him, and left the auditorium.

James Potter grinned and rubbed his feet, looked at Severus angrily and said, "Snotluck, what kind of black magic did you put on Lily to make her discriminate between right and wrong?"

"I still don't know who is right and wrong, heh." Severus sneered, "For example, behind the scenes, throwing things into the cauldron of innocent classmates, and making them stay in the medical wing for three days?"

"You're not innocent." Sirius Black also smirked.

"I—I—" James Potter felt a little guilty, "Who told you to desert in class? Hmph, the top student in Potions class actually deserted in class."

"Even if I deserted, I could do better than you, a potion that could fail at any moment - stupid lion -" Severus glanced behind Potter and Black and was about to say something but stopped Remus Lupine and Peter Peruni, who looked shy, evoked cold smiles.

"You!" Sirius Black glared at Severus angrily.

"Next time, I hope to be more aboveboard, lions who call themselves 'justice'." Severus put a lot of emphasis on the word justice, and he always hated lions who did despicable things under the banner of justice.Ignoring the gritted teeth and muttering curses of the hijackers, dodging the childishly amusing little trap that someone in the dormitory had set up in the hallway, Severus made his way back to his small room.

Putting the few publications on the small table, Severus picked up the quill and began to write a letter to Charlotte.

"I won't stop you about elves, but I hope you don't get too obsessed with it. Regarding the matter of Alan Travers, I asked the professor at the school for you. He is indeed a magical biologist. I also asked the professor for some copies of "Fantastic Creatures Weekly", which contain articles by Alan Travers, you can take a look. In my suggestion, I think you should seize this opportunity (write here West Fleurs also made up his mind and decided to seize his own opportunity), studying magical creatures happens to be where your talent can play a role, I believe you can do well in this field, and it just so happens that magic is not needed much in this field .Whether you are an elf or not, you are a wizard. You should be mediocre in the wizarding world, not in the Muggle world. Of course, entering the wizarding world also means that you will face some new dangers. I hope you have not given up. For your fighting training, you can protect yourself more if you have more abilities. It is best to do some training against spells. Maybe I will spare time to do some training with you during the summer vacation, please be prepared."

The next morning, he walked up to the owl shed with the letter and the wrapped publications, and Crewe flew out by himself, Severus tied things up, said "Go," and Crewe flew away.

After a while, another owl flew over and threw a letter to Severus. He opened it and saw that there were four orders, and they were mostly healing medicines such as blood tonic. He pursed his lips and put Folding the order and stuffing it into his robe, he turned and walked out of the owl shed.

He is busy again...
