[HP]Blue Soul

Charlotte, who had finally put Remus Lupine behind her, didn't see Severus until after get off work the next day.He seemed to have just come back from somewhere, the feet of his black robe were covered with dust, his pale face had two big dark circles under his slender eyes, he had greasy hair, and he had a strong bitter aura.

Charlotte frowned and twisted Severus's skirt, which was still soft and damp.

"What did you do? Make it like this?" Charlotte asked.

"Going to Diagon Alley." Severus pursed his lips. In fact, he went to Knockturn Alley next to Diagon Alley, which he didn't expect at the beginning. Lucius Malfoy didn't Informing him of this, and looking at the confusion on Charlotte's face, he continued to explain, "You know I'm taking potion orders. (Charlotte nodded.) The order volume has increased, and I need to continue to make it during the summer vacation Potions. But—there's no potions room here, so I went to the shop that sold me potions."

"A whole summer vacation?"

"Yes. So I might live there for a while."

"Then I won't be able to see you?"

The two of them fell silent together, and Severus frowned tightly, before he had time to think about it.But when he thought for a while about not seeing Charlotte for the whole summer vacation, a strong reluctance arose in his heart.He couldn't stand being apart for so long.

So does Charlotte.

"So it's a potion problem?" Charlotte asked.

Severus nodded.

Charlotte looked at the closed door and thought of Batty Strange, who was already rotting in the cemetery.Since his death, what happened that day was like a huge rock in her heart, even under Severus' persuasion, she still worked hard to shrink the uncontrollable guilt to the bottom of her heart At one point, she dared not look at the door because it was where Buddy Strange once lived.

She persuaded herself countless times that she was just avenging her relatives like Hamlet in "Hamlet", and Batty Strange deserved what she did, and she did nothing wrong.And she wasn't the culprit, it was Batty Strange who killed him.

Just let everything in this room disappear from her life, like Buddy Strange, never leave a corner in her heart again.She pointed to the door and said to Severus, "What if this room is used as your potion room?" The door was on the left side of the stairs, and Severus had never seen it open, and there was a seal on it , has been tightly closed.

Charlotte walked up to him and tore the seal off.It was actually a seal she made herself. On the second day after Ava's death, she tore off a long strip of white paper, and drew crosses all over the strip with a red pen.This kind of behavior at that time calmed her down a little.

She pushed open the door, and the smell of dust came to her face.The air is cold, as if it is not in the same season as the world outside the door.There is a big window in the room, a large bed next to the window, a cabinet at the end of the bed, and a table next to the cabinet.The wide bed filled the entire room, and there were still a few empty wine bottles lying on the floor, and a thick layer of dust fell everywhere.The windows that should be transparent have also accumulated a thick layer of dust because they haven't been cleaned for a long time, and the outside light can't shine in, making the room look very dark.

"But you'll have to clean it yourself, Sev. I'm sure it's easy for you." Charlotte held her nose.

Severus pulled out his wand from his clothes, shook his hand, quickly stuffed it back into his clothes, and took out another one. He said "Clean it up", the dust in the room was just less a little.Severus frowned, and Charlotte laughed dryly, "It seems that you need to use a few more spells. It's been too long since anyone has entered here."

"You want to watch me clean?" Severus whispered.

"Then what can I do? I can't use spells."

"Maybe you can think about how to get rid of things in the house, I don't need these things."

Charlotte thought about it, and these things were indeed a bit of an eyesore.As discarded furniture, maybe Mr. Gary, a carpenter, would collect it. The useless tables and chairs piled up in the living room and the living room on the second floor were all taken away by Mr. Gary.She said, "I'm going to get Mr. Gary to come and get them out tomorrow."

Severus nodded, "Okay! I'll clean up the rest tomorrow, too."

The next day, Severus came early in the morning, and after a night's rest, Severus looked much better than last night.Perhaps because he was afraid of meeting Mr. Gary, he put on a black jacket and trousers, and his hair was a little combed, so it was not as greasy as before.As he passed Charlotte, Charlotte sniffed it closely, said, "This shampoo smells good," and nodded approvingly.

Severus blushed at this move, he didn't say anything, but the movement of opening the door slightly stiffly showed that his heart was not very peaceful.After a night in the room, it seemed that another layer of dust had fallen, but the yellow quilt and mattress on the big bed had been disposed of by Charlotte, leaving only a single wooden shelf with thick of dust and cobwebs.

Star's stock of breakfast for Charlotte had been exhausted, and she had eaten the last of the sandwiches when she left for London the day before yesterday, so she now had to make them herself.Because she hadn't done it for a long time, she was a little rusty, but soon she became proficient again.It was almost 8 o'clock when she put the plate of sandwiches in the living room.She stood by the door and said to Severus who was still busy inside: "I'm going to work, I put breakfast on the coffee table, you remember to eat it. I don't lock the door, I will ask Mr. Gary to come directly, You can receive me for a while. Besides, after Mr. Gary has taken away the things, you can decorate your potion room as much as you like. I will go to give you a key at noon. So you have to wait for me to come back, okay Is it? I'll make you lunch."

Severus nodded, and in the somewhat dark room, Charlotte only saw the corners of his mouth slightly hooked, which brightened her mood several times, and she bounced out the door.When passing by Betty's pet store, Mrs. Betty was wandering in the store, but the Closed sign on the glass door hadn't been taken off yet.She passed the pet store quickly and headed for the carpenter's shop at the end of the shopping street.

When she arrived at the carpenter's shop, Mr. Gary had already opened the door, and he was sitting where he used to sit, carving a palm-sized elk. And Mr. Gary was carefully sharpening the elk's horns with a small brown carving knife.Seeing Charlotte enter the door, he put down the carving knife and elk in his hand, and said, "What? Your big horned deer is finished?"

Charlotte paused, then said with a dry smile, "No—no."

"It seems really hard to draw. It's been half a year since you told me." Mr. Gary raised his eyebrows. "I don't think I will feel stupid for my expectations in the end."

Charlotte shook her head quickly, "No, no, I didn't lie to you, Mr. Gary. I'm just too busy recently, I promise I will draw it."

Mr. Gary hummed noncommittally. "Then you are now?"

"I have a 2-meter bed, cabinets and tables, all of which are made of solid wood. I would like to ask if you can take them away. Because it has been a long time and is relatively old, it is similar to the bar tables and chairs you took away before. You It can be taken away directly, and there is no need to pay, mainly because I want to dispose of them." Charlotte said.

"Ah, that room you sealed?" asked Mr. Garry.In fact, when Mr. Gary first went there, he asked Charlotte if he wanted to clean that room too, but Charlotte refused at that time.

Charlotte nodded, "That's the room."

"Okay, I will go with my father when my father comes later." Mr. Gary quickly agreed, "Will you come with us later?"

"No. When you get there, just knock on the door. Someone is there." Charlotte retreated to the door.

"Anyone?" Mr. Gary asked suspiciously. He had known for a long time that Charlotte was living alone now, so he had some sympathy.

Charlotte did not answer Mr. Gary, but said goodbye to him: "Yes. Then I will go to work first, Mr. Gary."

Arranged with Mr. Gary, Charlotte had to return to Betty's Pet Shop to continue her work.She skillfully arranges the pet food on the shelves, clears out the garbage in each cage, cleans up the rest room, and waits for the flower delivery person to come and replace the flowers in each vase in the store with fresh ones, while Mrs. Betty is busy Receive guests.

Just as she was walking behind the cash register, the bell beside the door rang, and a tall, thin, brown-red curly-haired girl about eighteen or nineteen years old pushed the door in. There were a pair of light brown eyes in her deep eye sockets. Eyes, and these eyes are looking at Charlotte with a little nervousness and exploration, as if they want to ask Charlotte something.

The girl didn't speak, but stood awkwardly at the door.

Mrs. Betty came out from behind and asked, "Excuse me, what do you need?"

The girl let out a short "ah", she looked away from Charlotte and bowed to Mrs Betty, "Hello, my name is Tammy Taylor, from Angus, Scotland .I saw your recruitment information, do you still need manpower here?"

Mrs. Betty patted her leg in surprise, "Yes, yes, I need it very much. Come, sit here." She led Tammy Taylor to the next lounge, and the two sat on the sofa facing each other.Charlotte went to the back kitchen to prepare refreshments for the two of them. Because of nervousness, Charlotte's heart was pounding, and people who didn't know thought she was the one who came for the interview.

It can't be her fault, mainly because this is the third person who applied for the job, and the first two Mrs. Betty are not very satisfied.If this Tammy Taylor can stay smoothly, it means that she will bid farewell to the pet store and start a new job with Mr. Allen.

Charlotte poured the tea and placed it near Mrs. Betty and Tammy Taylor.The two were talking happily, Mrs. Betty kept nodding her head in satisfaction, and Tammy Taylor was talking confidently, not at all like the embarrassment she had when she first entered the door.But because of the girl's accent, she didn't speak quickly, which made her appear more sincere.Along with the ups and downs of her tone, there are light freckles on her cheeks, and a sweet smile blooming on her round face that is completely inconsistent with her height.

What a little Scottish sweetheart.

"Mrs. Betty, when I first came in, I almost thought the owner was Miss Smith. Her temperament is very similar to my mother." The Scottish sweetheart suddenly changed the topic to Charlotte, and then she seemed to have discovered her own words. Somewhat inappropriate, hurriedly explained to Charlotte, "Oh, I'm sorry, it's not that you look alike, but that kind of quiet and quiet temperament. This makes me feel very surprised, you look much smaller than me. "

"Charlotte is only 12 years old." Mrs. Betty said with a smile, "Although she is small, she is well-organized. She has already obtained a pet nurse certificate some time ago."

Charlotte's face suddenly became hot, and since she learned from a friend's phone call that Charlotte had passed the exam, she had mentioned it to countless people, announcing it as proudly as if she were showing off her own child .No matter how many times she heard it, Charlotte felt a little ashamed.

"That's awesome," exclaimed Tami Taylor.

"You're not bad either. I didn't expect that I could meet such a young veterinarian." Mrs. Betty admired, "Then let's settle it, I'll get the contract, you have a look first. If it's suitable, sign it, if If there is anything that needs to be changed, we can discuss it again.”

"Let me get it." Charlotte pressed Mrs. Betty's shoulders who were getting ready. It was obvious that Mrs. Betty liked this girl very much, and they should have a lot of things to talk about.

Charlotte took two blank contracts from a drawer inside the till.The terms of the contract have not changed much, just like the one she signed before. At that time, Ava's eyes were wet because of this formal contract, and she thanked Mrs. Betty countless times a day.Mrs Betty has always been a kind and warm old lady and a very conscientious employer.

Putting the contract and pen on the coffee table in front of them, they finally stopped talking, Mrs. Betty began to fill in the salary they had just negotiated, and Tammy Taylor carefully looked at the terms of the contract.Charlotte didn't bother them any more, retreated behind the cash register, picked up the bill and checked it.There was the sound of "whooping" from the car, and Charlotte looked up, and it turned out that Mr. Gary's pickup truck was turning a corner, and what was behind it was pulling a wide bed frame, a cabinet and a table.Mr. Gary paused at the door, greeted Charlotte behind the cash register through the window, and then galloped away.

Charlotte looked at the ledger again, but the words on the ledger were wriggling like caterpillars, she couldn't print them into her head at all, her thoughts began to spread, thinking of Severus How she would make the room, thought of what kind of lunch she should make at noon, thought of when Lily would come back to find her, thought of Mrs. Betty fidgeting like a fangirl when Ellen came to the pet shop last week, thought of What kind of work will I do when I go to Allen, thinking about whether Bain and Marianne found their clan in the Forbidden Forest of Hogwarts...
