[HP]Blue Soul

The journey Charlotte was looking forward to did not make her wait too long. After sending off Severus and Lily on September 9, she set off with Ellen.

After leaving King's Cross Station, Allen took Charlotte to the Leaky Cauldron.The Leaky Cauldron was just like when Charlotte first came, there were some people sitting in twos and threes, but Tom, the owner of the bar, knew Allen, and he greeted Allen warmly: "Brother Allen, are you going out again? "

"Of course, old Tom. I'm always on the road, aren't I?" Alan took off his hat and shook hands with the barkeeper, Tom.And handed Tom a few Galleons, "Lend me your fireplace."

"You're welcome, you're welcome. The fireplace here is for public use, so there's no need to give me money." Tom pushed Alan back while holding Jin Gallon's hand.

Alan finally put the Galleon on the bar, and he laughed and said, "Then buy me a free beer when I get back!" Then he moved closer to Tom, with a voice only the two of them could hear Said, "someone wants to trouble me recently, if someone asks you about my whereabouts, please tell me that you don't know."

Tom's already wrinkled walnut-like face wrinkled even more. After thinking about it, he reluctantly agreed to Alan's request: "Well, you are an old friend, and I have to help with this." Then he flicked his finger, and a flame lit up in the man-high fireplace by the wall.

"Thanks."

Leaving Gallon in front of Tom, Allen led Charlotte to the burning fireplace. He picked up a small box from the wooden table next to the fireplace, opened it and handed it to Charlotte. , he asked: "Do you know how to use Floo powder?"

Charlotte shook her head, looking curiously at the shiny silver powder in the box.

"This is another way to travel. The fireplace in the Leaky Cauldron is the place with the most floo networks. We need to use this way to go to the Sundarbans, a primeval forest where wild birds and snakes may be found. There just happened to be a teleportation point outside the forest." Allen explained, and then his expression became serious, "Wait a minute you grab a handful of Floo powder—the one in the box—and throw it into the fire in the fireplace. When the fire turns yellow-green, you step in and say 'Sundarbans' articulate, articulate! Clamp your elbows, close your eyes, and don't panic, or you'll go wrong by the furnace door, I Maybe I don't know where to find you."

Alan's serious tone made Charlotte nervous, and her heart began to thump.She thought, what if she really went to the wrong furnace door?Did you go to a strange place?What will she do when she has no magic power?She didn't dare to continue thinking about it.

In order to calm her heartbeat, she could only take deep breaths, but Allen quickly stopped her, "Don't breathe so fast, be careful to choke on the soot and you mispronounced the name of the place." Allen's expression looked like Like the unbearable look.

Charlotte nodded, grabbed a handful of Floo powder from the box and threw it into the burning flame. With a whoosh, the flame rose higher than Allen, and quickly turned into a strange yellow-green, with hot wind blowing come.Under Alan's gaze, Charlotte stood in the flames, and a stream of air entangled her body. She promised to say one syllable by one syllable: "Sun-de-er- Ben-s."

Then she seemed to be sucked into a blender, and her whole body began to spin rapidly. Charlotte followed Allen's instructions and closed her eyes tightly and clamped her arms.In fact, in this case, she couldn't open her eyes either.In the constant rotation, it seemed that countless cold hands were patting Charlotte's cheeks, and her stomach was churning as if she was undergoing a transformation. I don't know how long it took, Charlotte Finally he fell down on the cold stone floor.

She cursed in her heart, this damn Floo powder is not much worse than Apparition and Portkey.Don't wizards have a normal way to travel!

She got up from the ground dizzily, and it took a while for the scene in front of her to become clear.At this time, she was standing beside a spacious and dimly lit tall fireplace. In front of her was a pile of neatly arranged wooden tables and chairs. A hot, salty wind blew in through the half-open door. It made Charlotte's head covered with fine sweat.When she was so hot that she wanted to take off her clothes, Allen gracefully walked out of the fireplace. He walked quickly to the bar and shouted: "Boss, have two cold drinks."

At this time, a half-bald head slowly protruded from behind the bar, like a wrinkled apple, bright red, with thin beard stubble circled around the wrinkled face, mung bean-like His eyes burst into a strong light when he saw Allen, and he said in a crappy tone: "Welcome, welcome, cold beer or iced juice? Our iced juice here is the best, all natural."

"A glass of beer, a glass of juice." Allen wiped the sweat off his face and clapped the table anxiously.

Soon the owner of the store brought out a glass of beer and a glass of juice.He was about the height of a star and would have been completely hidden from behind the bar, no wonder Charlotte didn't see him when he first arrived.He smiled and handed things to Ellen and Charlotte respectively.Charlotte gulped down the juice immediately, and the cold air entered her stomach from her mouth and then circled to her forehead. She finally recovered from the hot weather.But this is definitely not a long-term solution, she wears too many clothes.

Allen also quickly drank the beer in his hand, let out a sigh of comfort, he put the empty glass on the bar, lowered his head and said to the boss: "Is there any room here? We need two rooms, I Will pay for a month in advance. Also I need to ask, where can I buy clothes here? Appropriate clothes."

"Of course there are vacant rooms. This is the best hotel in the neighborhood, and it's guaranteed to be comfortable and beautiful. Why don't I take you there first, and I'll tell you where you can buy clothes nearby while walking?" said the boss.

Allen nodded, followed in the footsteps of the boss, and Charlotte followed at the end.They went up the stairs next to the fireplace to the second floor.Different from the simple hall on the first floor, the corridor on the second floor is painted pale and pale. There are red wooden doors on both sides of the corridor, and there are exquisite house numbers on the doors.

The boss led them into a room. The room was very big, comparable to the two living rooms at No. 24 Spider's End Lane. The glass French doors were ajar, and through the French doors, you could see the oval balcony and the outside world. The endless blue sea.Gentle warm air blew in from the balcony, lifted the white gauze curtains on both sides of the glass door, and brightly shone on the 2-meter-wide bed. The high-puffed mattress showed how soft the bed was.

Opposite the bed and to Charlotte's right is the bathroom, which is also large, with a round bathtub and polished mirror.Sure enough, as the boss said, it is comfortable and beautiful.At this time, the boss had already walked to the balcony, and said to Allen: "Our place is beautiful and the price is not expensive. As long as there are wizards who come to travel, there is no one who doesn't like our place. Come and see—" The boss stood on the balcony. Pointing to a road below the railing, "There is a small village about 10 minutes away from this road. The few shops at the end of the village are opened by wizards. They are very recognizable. There is a white tiger logo on their door. , where you can buy whatever you want."

Charlotte looked at the stone road that was curved and hidden in the low bushes. Under the bushes was the fine yellow sand, which shone finely under the sunlight.It made Charlotte wonder what it was that allowed these plants to grow in the sand?

"Who lives in this room? The other one can go to the next door with me. The next door happens to be an empty room. The layout of the rooms is the same." The boss said.

"Let's go. I just paid the deposit first." Allen followed the boss out of the room.

After the figures of the two disappeared into the door frame, Charlotte immediately took off her robe and plaid shirt, leaving only a camisole. She finally felt that the heat had left her a little bit, and she stood by the balcony door, closing her eyes. He took a deep breath with his upper eyes, and said softly, "This is the smell of the sea that Lily said."

Not long after, Allen knocked on Charlotte's door, and Charlotte put on her robe and opened the door.Allen was only wearing a white vest. He frowned and said, "Aren't you wearing something thinner? This robe is too hot."

Charlotte laughed twice, "It doesn't fit well inside."

"Okay. Let's go shopping for clothes. It's so hot here that I'm going to melt." Allen said with a frown.

They left the hotel and walked along the road that the boss said. The road was paved with irregular stones, and there were golden sand in the gaps between the stones.They were not worried about going wrong, because there were no forks in this curved road. They kept walking along the stone road. The tall trees on the left side of the road shrouded the road in shadow, and a cool and humid wind blew from time to time. , making Charlotte feel less hot.After walking for about 10 minutes, a bustling village appeared before their eyes.

The road in the village was as wide as a car, and there were tall and short houses on both sides of the road, and there were people setting up stalls on the side of the road, greeting pedestrians in a language Charlotte could not understand.They walked for another 5 minutes, and finally reached the shop opened by the wizard that the boss said.On the door of these shops, as the boss said, there is a very unique tiger-shaped white logo.They chose a store and walked in. Compared with the bright outside, the inside looked a little dark. Charlotte closed her eyes to see the inside of the store clearly.

There are many shelves behind a solitary counter, and clothes hang on the walls.Soon the boss behind the counter saw Alan and the two, and he said in the same crappy accent as the hotel owner, "Hello, what do you need?"

"The clothes we can wear here," Allen said.

The owner of the clothing store responded with a smile, then took out a magic wand and waved it twice. A dozen clothes of different colors and styles floated over from various places in the store.The boss put all these clothes on the counter and said: "These are very suitable for you, what do you need?"

Allen stepped forward to touch the material of the clothes, nodded with satisfaction, and he beckoned Charlotte to come forward and have a look.Charlotte chose two thin short sleeves and shorts inside, and Alan added a few more for her, and then said: "Wrap them up." Charlotte leaned closer and whispered in embarrassment, "This is too Too much." Allen also replied in a low voice: "We will live here for a long time." Then he raised the volume again, and said to the clothes shop owner: "Is there any clothes here that can be worn in the forest?"

The boss who had just packed his clothes said in surprise, "Are you going into the forest?"

"Yes, I'm here to do research," Allen said.

"I have the most complete forest equipment here. But everyone who buys things here will get my kind reminder that there are many dangerous creatures in this forest, and even wizards may stumble, so I hope you will fight a few times. Be very careful." The boss said slowly.Charlotte heard danger in his tone.

Then the owner of the clothing store took some equipment from the back shelf, a light coat with a cooling spell, a magic water bottle that will never run out of water, a magic dagger that can cut off any vine, and identify another person no matter where you go A pointer to the location, and a folded package.The package was the size of a suitcase, and Charlotte looked at it curiously, wondering what was inside.

The boss saw the curiosity in Charlotte's eyes, and he explained: "This is a simple wooden frame, and it can open a wooden platform between any two trees, on which you can build wizards' tents. There is a rope ladder on the platform for you to return to the ground. It is also convenient to put it away, just pull the rope ladder and pull it hard to recover. The forest is no different from the plains, and there are many dangers on the ground, so it is recommended that you live in trees .”

Allen naturally bought all the things recommended by the boss very generously, and they soon returned with a full load of suitcases that were gifted by the boss with a space expansion spell.As soon as she returned to the room, Charlotte immediately went to the bathroom to change into light clothes. When she stood in front of the mirror and tied herself a high ponytail again, a voice suddenly came from the mirror: "Miss You are so beautiful, your eyes are more beautiful than the sea, your skin is whiter than the sand of the bay, even your headdress is so beautiful."

Charlotte, who was startled by the sudden voice, was blushed by the praise in the voice. She poked the mirror curiously, wanting to see if there was someone hiding behind it. , but behind the mirror is the wall.The mirror let out a "chichi" laugh, gasped and said, "You tickled me—"

"Are you a mirror?" Charlotte looked at herself in the mirror curiously, "You can talk?"

"I am a magic mirror, of course I can speak. Our duty is to check whether everyone in front of the mirror is dressed properly. Of course, Miss, your dress is very decent, and it is the most decent of all the people I have ever seen." Mirror Praise without reservation.

Charlotte suddenly understood why the queen was obsessed with the compliments of the mirrors in the story of Snow White, because the compliments of the mirrors were really too straightforward and enthusiastic.Charlotte shook her head amusedly, and the shells on the hairband swayed cheerfully with her shaking head, making a crisp sound of jingling bells.

When Charlotte came out of the bathroom, she found that the table in the room was already covered with exquisite pastries and cold drinks.She touched her hungry stomach, picked up the pastry and ate it. When she stuffed almost half of the pastry, she noticed that there was a suitcase on the chair by the table, which was not brought by her. .She remembered what Alan said to her the day before departure: "Put the books and other things you want to bring in this box, and the stars will take it to where we are going."

Here comes the stars, no wonder the pastry smells so familiar, Charlotte thought.

She called out "stars" into the air, and indeed the stars quickly appeared in front of her, bowed to her, and said, "Miss Lottie, what can I do for the stars?"

Since Xingxing said that Charlotte is also his master, she can directly summon Xingxing like Alan.

Charlotte happily stuffed the last bit of pastry into her mouth, and said vaguely, "Mr. Housekeeper, when did you come?"

Xingxing took out an exquisite handkerchief from nowhere and handed it to Charlotte, saying in a shrill voice: "The star has just arrived not long ago. The house elf in this hotel is very happy to provide the kitchen for the star, so the star gave Miss Lottie Made her favorite pastry. Hope Miss Lottie likes it."

Charlotte took it and wiped her mouth, then downed the cup of cold drink, and finally said clearly, "I'm really curious, how did you get here."

"Magic, it's house-elf magic, Miss Lottie," said the Star.

No matter how Charlotte asked, Xingxing kept emphasizing magic, but did not say what kind of magic it was.In fact, Charlotte has never understood why a race with mysterious and powerful powers like house elves is willing to become a housekeeper.But thinking about the star's enthusiasm for housework, Charlotte thought maybe it was because of the unique preferences of house elves.

After a while, Alan knocked on Charlotte's door, and Xingxing opened the door for Charlotte. Alan standing outside the door said helplessly, "I knew Xingxing was here. By the way, I want Xiaobai and each other to be together." I would rather stay here." He stretched out his right hand behind the door, and standing on it was the most polite Mr. Big Owl. He was expressing his response to Allen, but in fact Charlotte didn't hear any meaning from his words-it was just an interjection.Compared with Alex and Crewe, Beard is really not noisy at all, and he doesn't even like to bark.

And Xiaobai has spontaneously crawled out of Ellen's pocket, quickly climbed up Charlotte's feet and body to her wrist, and wrapped it tightly, she hissed, [It's too difficult for a snake Yes, it's too hot in here. 】The cold touch on Xiaobai's body made Charlotte caress involuntarily.

Seeing that the two pets had been delivered, Allen pushed the door and walked out, then stuck his head in and said, "I know you're going to write to your little boyfriend—and your little girlfriend, so I brought him here. Beard is the owl best at long-distance flying, you can safely hand over your letters to him. Also! Take a rest for an afternoon, you can go to the beach to play, and tomorrow we will enter the forest."

Before Charlotte could refute Alan's teasing, he closed the door and left.Charlotte looked at Beard who was parked on the table, his tired eyes had begun to open and close, and he quickly fell asleep.The same goes for Xiaobai on Charlotte's wrist, falling back into a never-enough sleep.Charlotte sat at the table and took out her paper and pen from the leather case next to the table. Since working here at Ellen, she has gradually become accustomed to using a quill. She used the quill to write on the letter paper wrote:

"Dear Lily and Sif, I hope your new semester will continue to go smoothly. I am already far away from you, so I will not send you separate letters, and please read them together.

This is the south of India, and I'm living in a room with a view of the sea.Sure enough, as Lily said, the sea is like a blue gem. I can smell the salty sea breeze, hear the sound of waves beating against the rocks on the shore, and the white-golden sand glistens in the sun.The only thing that is not good is that it is really too hot. When I first arrived here, I almost thought I was a stick of ice cream, which could melt on the ground on the spot.

I don't know how long it will take for the letter to reach Hogwarts. Today is the 1st, and tomorrow I will follow Allen to the forest.The trees are already tall when viewed from the beach, but I don't know what it looks like in the forest.You can ask Beard (that is, Ellen's owl) to bring your reply back. I think the little girl Alex is not good at such a long-distance flight, and Crewe's old arms and legs are probably also able to support her. Not that far.

In the new semester, I hope Sif can eat well. During the summer vacation, you often forget to eat and sleep. If I hadn't urged you, I would have feared that you would starve to death in the potions room.Lily, it would be even better if you could keep an eye on Sif.Sev, if you lose weight the next time I see you, I will really punish you!absolute!It's not just talking like last time.

That's all for now, I'll always miss you all.Waiting for your reply, your Charlotte. "

The author has something to say:

The name change is hot!By the way, let me introduce Sundarbans: Sundarbans is a land composed of many small islands. It is the largest coastal forest in Bangladesh, and it is a virgin forest that has hardly undergone any artificial cultivation so far.This was chosen because birds and snakes are found in India and the Far East, and all descriptions of the forest are fictitious.
