Chapter 38

In the first week of August, the postman who rarely came to Spinner's End knocked on the door of Charlotte's house, and it was Severus who opened the door.The postman tried his best to hide his distaste and showed an unnatural smile, and after slipping a small package to Severus, he quickly rode his car and disappeared at the end of the road.Severus looked at the package that said "To Charlotte Smith, 8 Spider's End Lane" and immediately understood who it was from.

——It must have come from Lily who went on a trip.

A few days after Lily came back from Hogwarts, she went abroad for vacation with the Evans family.The day before she left, she brought Alex to Charlotte and Severus to say goodbye.As soon as they met, she put the report card in front of Charlotte with a high air, and said, "Look, even though I am Muggle-born, I am no worse than others."

Charlotte touched the "O" full of parchment and said, "Is anyone saying you are worse than others?"

"It's Sly—anyway, some people like to talk about bloodlines, and they hate it to death. Don't talk about it, shouldn't you praise me? I'm No.1 in the first grade." Lily said.

"Then No.2 is Severus?" Charlotte looked at Severus.

"..." Severus didn't speak, but turned his head with a strange expression.And Lily laughed out loud, "Oh, poor Sev, he only got a P in his flying class, which made him drop a lot of grades, and he had to be third, and the second was a Ravenc Lowe's boy, he's good too."

Severus retorted softly, "That's the broom itself not working."

Charlotte covered her mouth and laughed as she saw the tips of Severus' ears flushed slightly between the black hair.

"By the way, Charles, tomorrow I'm going on vacation with my parents, Penny, and my mother said it's the beach. It's not good to go there and take Alex, can I put her here with you? Of course, if you need to use If you see her, she will definitely be willing to help." Lily handed Alex to Charlotte who nodded and agreed, "Although there is no Alex, I will send you a postcard over there. Tell you what I saw!"

Lily, who loves to share, finally sent the letter she said in early August, but the size of the package does not seem to be as simple as a postcard.Severus didn't take it apart, but waited until Charlotte returned from Allen Manor.Charlotte has officially started work at Allen Manor, because Allen does not require specific on and off work hours, but only gives a certain amount of work every day, as long as Charlotte guarantees to complete it, so Charlotte probably only needs Stay at Allen Manor for 8 to 5 hours, and go home early.When Charlotte arrived home, Severus handed the package to her.

Charlotte opened the package at the coffee table in the living room.Along with a postcard of the beach, there was a letter and a bag of shells.The back of the postcard reads "Send you a beautiful beach", and the rest of what she wants to say is in that letter:

"Charle, Sev. The sea here is really beautiful. The beach is golden yellow, the sand is soft, and it feels like you are stepping on a comfortable quilt. The sea is blue, it is beautiful, but Definitely not as good as your eyes, Shire, the color of the sea is not as blue as your eyes, nor is it as charming as your eyes, so I regret that I used to use the blue of the sea to describe your eyes. (See here Charlotte's face turned red) There are many colorful shells on the beach. I specially picked up a lot of them that I think are particularly beautiful. I hope they can bring the sea I saw to you. By the way, there is still me in it, okay? A black shell that is easy to find, as black as Sif's eyes, so he shouldn't say that I only praised Shire alone? Haha. I will go back in more than a week, and then I will I will tell you in detail what I have seen and heard. Your Lily."

Handing the letter to Severus, Charlotte looked carefully at the bag of shells.The shells are wrapped in transparent plastic paper with a golden red string tied on it.Some shells are white and flawless and look like wings; Conspicuous black shell surrounded by two colors.

Delicate shells, large or small, are simply stacked and squeezed into the transparent plastic paper, but it seems that Charlotte can see the real sea.Lily has always had a pair of eyes that can find beauty, and Charlotte can imagine Lily bouncing around picking up shells on the beach.

Looking at these beautiful shells, Charlotte suddenly thought of what decorations should be placed on the newly matched set of keys.She wants to string the shells together and make a beautiful pendant.Charlotte said to Severus who was still reading the letter, "I thought about what to hang on the key, and I'm going to make a shell pendant. As for the rest - I have a good idea too, haha."

As soon as she said it, Charlotte took out her hand tools at night, sat by the coffee table in the living room, and made a pendant.She made a small hole at the pointed end of the shell, and the seemingly small and thin shell was surprisingly hard. If it wasn't for Charlotte's strength, her idea might be in vain.In the end, she wove thin threads into flower ropes and strung up the shells in an orderly manner. The top one was the black shell that Lily said looked like Severus' eyes.

Charlotte put the keys aside, and went on to make the next thing with the remaining shells.She took off the silver-green headband that was shining on her head, and tied a pendant made of shells on the headband, so that when she put on the headband, the long strings of shells fell on her like tassels on black hair.

After everything was done, she tied her hair at the left shoulder with a new headband, her long black hair trailed on her chest, and the shell fell in the middle of her hair, which looked very beautiful.It reminded her of the illustrations of The Little Mermaid she had seen before, full of ocean atmosphere.She picked up the key again and stood at the door of the potions room.

Severus had placed a spell over the door of the potions room so he would always know Charlotte was outside the door the first time.He quickly opened the door, and a bitter breath and heat hit Charlotte's face from the room.Severus propped his hand on the door, looking at Charlotte questioningly.

Charlotte looked over Severus' shoulder at the mist floating above the cauldron inside, as if whenever she stood at the door of the potions room to look inside, the fire under the cauldron had never been extinguished.She handed Severus the key with the shell pendant on it, and as she moved, the shells jingled in the air, "Done!" Charlotte said.

Severus frowned at the somewhat gaudy shell pendant, and said, "I guess—I don't really like that kind of thing."

"How come?" Charlotte's eyes widened, with disapproval flashing in his eyes, "How suitable for you. As Lily wrote in the letter, this black shell is like your eyes, so I specially put it Put it on top." As she spoke, she glared at Severus again, "This is what Lily and I want together! Do you understand?" She stuffed the key into Severus' hand, then stretched out He squeezed the palm of his hand, "give me mine."

Severus glanced helplessly at the keychain in his hand, thankful that he didn't go out often.He stuffed the key chain into his pocket, took out Charlotte's key from his pocket, and handed it back to Charlotte.Charlotte smiled contentedly.

She was still smiling with satisfaction until she fell asleep at night. In the dream, she was running on the beach with bare feet...

On the second day, she continued to go to Allen Manor with a good mood and a new hair tie. Xing Xing praised her the first time she saw her, which made the corners of her mouth never let go, until her thesis was reviewed. Difficulty at work.Allen's most recent job is to finish a thesis on Bowtruckles. The second half of the thesis mentions a lot of functions that Bowtruckle bark and fallen wood chips can play, and it involves a lot of professional vocabulary.Charlotte, who has not studied systematically, can only look at these vocabulary and feel puzzled. In the end, Alan helped her solve the confusion, which made her a little frustrated.

"Mr. Allen, maybe it was a mistake for you to ask me to be your assistant." Charlotte said lowly, "I still get that much salary. Maybe you should lower it, or I won't feel at ease."

Allen comforted, "Don't worry, Charlotte. You definitely don't just do this, there are many places where you can play a role. You have excellent talents, you have to know. And I have helped you in Guling The vault is opened in the pavilion, after I take you to conduct the next research, there will be more Galleons coming in continuously, I can assure you of this. We have to go abroad for the next research, you need to be prepared , around September.” There was a mysterious light in his eyes, as if he would take Charlotte to a mountain of gold after his research, and countless wealth would quickly pile up on Charlotte. The newly opened vault at Gringotts.

Charlotte, who was a bit of a money fanatic, was quickly distracted by Allen, and she suddenly began to look forward to the next study that Allen said.Allen then found several herbal medicine books and magical creature books in the study, and asked her to read and understand them all before September. He said that this would make Charlotte's work easier.

Trapped in the book, Charlotte forgot the time for a moment, until the sky was getting dark and the stars were lighting up the lights in the study, Charlotte struggled to get up from the coffee table in the study.Charlotte, who was too anxious to go home, had to say hello to Allen, then took the star express that made her uncomfortable again, and returned to Spider's End Alley.

It wasn't until the stars left quickly and Severus rushed out of the potion room with his wand because someone broke in, Charlotte clutching her uncomfortable stomach didn't realize that because she was too anxious, she forgot to keep the wand on her left wrist Xiaobai pulled it down.Xiaobai was spitting out a letter on her wrist, and the shifting shape of the stars also had some influence on her, she said angrily in a clear and lovely voice, 【Damn, damn!I almost thought my body was going to break in two! 】

"What is this?" Severus raised his wand, which had been put down when he saw Charlotte.

Only then did Charlotte realize that she and Severus were facing each other in the darkness.Severus' blackness seemed to blend into the darkening night.Charlotte took a few steps to turn on the light in the living room, and as the yellowish light came on, Severus finally saw clearly what was on Charlotte's left wrist.

Charlotte raised her left hand first, and introduced: "This is Xiaobai. Mr. Allen's pet, but she likes me more, so she often stays on my wrist."

Severus stared at Xiaobai for a while, until Xiaobai looked a little scared, and she hissed, 【This dark look is so scary, even if I can't see it, I feel like I've been stabbed by a knife ( The snake's eyes are actually not very good), is he trying to peel me apart? 】

"You want to use her as a potion material?" Charlotte asked after hearing Xiaobai's words.

Severus, who seemed to have been punctured, quickly looked away, coughed twice, and changed the subject, "Mr. Allen really deserves to be a Slytherin, and his pet is a snake. In addition, maybe I Shouldn't have said you were a Gryffindor before. (Charlotte surprised: What? You said I was a Gryffindor?) You still look like a Slytherin now." Severus There was a smile on the corner of his mouth, as if he was very satisfied with this inference.

"Okay." Charlotte said noncommittally, because she didn't have any different views on Slytherin and Gryffindor. In her opinion, all colleges were the same, the difference was only the people inside. "By the way, Xiaobai came out of Raven Forest. The pattern on her body is exactly the same as the pattern on the elf costume I saw in my dream."

"Are you still thinking about this?" Severus said.

"Of course. When I learned from Allen that there are elves and Raven Forest, I couldn't wait to find that place. Maybe there can solve a lot of my confusion, instead of fooling around Put it all down to God's gift."

Charlotte's face was full of determination and longing, she smiled and looked at Severus, "Mr. Allen said that the next research will start in September this year, and I will go abroad with him at that time. We will also look for Riven Forest along the way, whether we can find it or not..."

"If you find it—" Severus said suddenly, his voice a little soft, "if you find it, will you come back?"

Charlotte looked at her own reflection in Severus' eyes and said firmly, "Of course, my home is here, isn't it? No matter how far I've been, I'll come back here. Here you are , there's Lily, there's Mrs. Betty, there's the Davis family, there's Mr. Allen. I won't be willing to leave here."

"That's good." Severus sighed softly.After getting Charlotte's answer, he quickly turned around and went back to his potion room, took out a piece of parchment, and said, "Take out your bracelet, I'll see if it works."

Only then did Charlotte remember the bracelet she had been wearing all the time. She stretched out her right wrist, and the jade beads on the bracelet glowed warmly under the bright yellow light.Severus raised his wand, pointed at the bracelet, and said slowly and clearly, "This is my home."

Listening to Severus's correct Chinese, Charlotte couldn't help laughing and bent over. She didn't see the golden light from her right arm, which was still raised with difficulty, and Severus was angry. The reminder made her straighten up, and the golden light slowly turned into a few Chinese characters in the air, "Please tell me the binding location".Charlotte thought about it, why not just stay here, she said in Chinese: "No. 24, Spider's End Lane." Immediately, the golden words in the air turned into golden smoke and circled on the ground around Charlotte. Drilled into the bracelet again.The light on the bracelet disappeared, and calm returned.

"Did it work?" Severus asked.

"I don't know either. How about I try?" After Charlotte finished speaking, she went out without waiting for Severus' answer.Severus watched Charlotte look around through the window, then touched the bracelet, and in an instant she appeared in the living room where she had just stood.

Charlotte resisted the desire to vomit, took a deep breath, and shouted angrily: "Who the hell invented this damn transmission method, I almost thought my belly button was going to be hooked!" She really It never occurred to her that besides the uncomfortable apparition, there was another way to make her uncomfortable.

Severus said with a happy face: "Aren't all the portkeys like this? Even the Huaguo's portkey is no different. Even with the damn trigger spell." He was still listening for Charlotte The smile after he chanted the mantra stuck in his heart.

"Anyway, if I don't need it, I definitely won't use it. It's too uncomfortable." Charlotte gasped, "When will wizards find a decent way to travel?"

"Who knows." Severus curled his lips and said, "Now that I'm done, I'll continue to boil my potion, and I'll make you a few more bottles of concentration-enhancing potions for you." He still didn't give up using potions to treat Charlotte's mind-wandering problem.

Severus turned and went back to the potion room, Charlotte hurriedly shouted before the door was closed, "I haven't had dinner yet!" As she spoke, she took out a delicate potion from the bag that Xingxing put on the sofa before leaving. The food box was stuffed into Severus's hand, and he warned: "Go to bed early at night! Don't stay up late!"

Charlotte watched the door of the potion room close in front of her. She sighed and touched Xiaobai on her wrist. in sleep.She knew why Severus had suddenly bewitched her bracelet, because Severus wanted to tell her that her home was here and she should come back anytime.

The author has something to say:

It's been a bit of a calvin lately, but anyway, Charlotte has finally started to hook up with the wizarding world.Because most of the fans have written about their things in school, so there is no too much description here, Charlotte will not go to Hogwarts to study, but she will still have her own wonderful, hehehe...
