[HP]Blue Soul

When a person is addicted to the sea of ​​books, it is easy to not feel the passage of time.Not only Severus, but Charlotte also seemed to be rooted in the study of Allen Manor, sorting out the pile of parchment in the corner, while reading books all over the wall.

During this time she visited Tammy one more time.This time, Tammy introduced the man to Charlotte.His name is Vincent Sauron, a playwright who loves to write fantasy stories, which happens to be Tammy's favorite field.So they could always chat, and Betty's pet store was always full of laughter and laughter when the two of them were around, and it was difficult for Charlotte to insert themselves into their chats.

But Betty's pet shop is not always full of laughter. A few days after Christmas, Mrs. Betty rushed back from London. Contact information), inform Charlotte to go to Betty's Pet Shop.

When Charlotte pushed open the glass door of Betty's pet shop, Mrs. Betty was already waiting for her behind the door.Unlike the old lady who was kind and smiling in her memory, Mrs. Betty in front of her was haggard, as if her energy had been taken away by something, and even her hair turned gray. She hugged Charlotte as soon as she came up, and said: " It seems that Mr. Allen treats you very well, have you grown taller again? Look, I have to stand on tiptoe to kiss your forehead." Mrs. Betty's eyes were red, and she continued to speak slightly choked, "In this way, I will not worried."

Tammy wiped tears beside her.

Charlotte was at a loss, but in this atmosphere, she already had a bad feeling, and she asked, "What's the matter?"

Charlotte's question seemed to turn on Mrs. Betty's tear gate, and her tears rolled down quickly.She covered her mouth and nose with a handkerchief and whimpered, but waved her hands without answering Charlotte.

Tammy on the side patted Mrs. Betty on the shoulder comfortingly, and explained to Charlotte: "Mrs. Betty is very sad, she has told me it before, so don't let her say it again, she can't bear it. Let me tell you." Tammy leaned closer to Charlotte and said in a low voice, "Mrs. Betty's daughter-in-law died in childbirth. Just before Christmas, she helped with the funeral. Mr. Carville (Mrs. Betty) son) believes that his wife died due to the negligence of the birth center, so he will take legal channels next. The newborn William has no one to take care of, and Mrs. Betty has decided to move to London to take care of little William."

"How could this be..." Charlotte murmured in astonishment.Mrs. Betty, who was happily going to London to see her grandson for the festival, encountered such a blow. No wonder she has become so haggard now.

"What about the pet store?" Charlotte asked.

"You got the point." Tammy sighed, "Mrs. Betty came back this time to say goodbye to us, and to deal with the pet store."

"Yes, a pet shop." Mrs. Betty blew her nose, her voice was still a little hoarse, "I personally hope that this pet shop can continue to operate, but I may not come back to take care of it in the future, unless little William grows up. So I hope to transfer the store to Tammy."

"But I didn't..."

Mrs. Betty interrupted Tammy.

"I know you have some financial difficulties, but I'm not unreasonable. If you are willing to take over the store and continue to operate, I can support the form of dividends. That is, I use the store as a fixed asset to invest in the stock, as long as I give me a certain amount at the end of the year. The dividends will do. I think this is the most appropriate way, and I have thought about it for a long time.”

Tammy was lost in thought.

And Charlotte thinks this is really a good way. There are only two pet shops in Cokeworth, and they don't worry about business problems. As long as Tammy can manage it well, there will be considerable income.

"If it takes the form of dividends, I can also buy shares." Charlotte said.Of course, the reason she wanted to do this was not to get a piece of the pie, but to relieve some of Tammy's pressure.

Tammy finally nodded. When Mrs. Betty took away her funds, Charlotte's shares just made up for the cost she needed to spend in the early stage, which kept her from being stretched in funds.

Then they discussed the specific details of the contract together, signed a contract in triplicate, and settled the matter.

After dealing with everything, Mrs. Betty packed all her luggage. Charlotte and Tammy helped her move to the trunk of the car. Before leaving, Mrs. Betty gave Charlotte another warm hug. She said: "Charlie is really different. Officer Davis told me, and I also think this is a good home. You must live a good life in the future. Call me when you have time. I also want to hear your voice. "

Holding the phone number written by Mrs. Betty in her hand, Charlotte watched as Mrs. Betty's car slowly disappeared at the end of the street.She didn't know when the next meeting would be.Those familiar people are like petals blooming on the stalk of memory, giving her fragrance and making her life more beautiful, but one day they will slowly wither.

She knew this wasn't the last parting she'd see.

Until the end of January, Charlotte and Ellen started traveling again.They came to the Malay Peninsula through the fireplace of the Leaky Cauldron, where there is also a very vast virgin forest.Unlike the Sundarbans, this primeval forest is full of tall palms and many flowering plants.What Charlotte loves the most are the spinosa trees that open like giant umbrellas and the white vines that hang like thousands of flower ribbons.

The weather in this rainforest is comparable to that of Sundarbans, so Alan left Xiaobai at the manor.This time I did not bring the stars, because there are many human gathering places around the rainforest, and they can bring some dry food into the forest.

After two months of searching in the rainforest, they finally found a community of birds and snakes living in a depression near the center of the rainforest.Because of Charlotte's "Natural Compatibility" status, she was the first to enter the sphere of influence of the birds and snakes.Although the birds and snakes were a little puzzled by the stranger's intrusion, they did not attack Charlotte. Some young birds and snakes even flew to Charlotte consciously.

But when it came time for Allen to enter, he still encountered obstacles.Charlotte and the birds and snakes in Alan's magical creature box talked together, and finally got the birds and snakes to accept Alan.

"Poor birds and snakes. I really don't know how Mr. Scamander got along with several birds and snakes." said Allen, who was refused to go out for several days and was finally allowed to enter the birds and snakes' territory.

"Since you're here, start researching?" Charlotte said, "You can tell me first what I need to do for you."

"Chat, your job is to chat with these birds and snakes." Allen said.

"to chat with?"

"Yes, I will list some questions for you, and you need to get answers from at least 20 birds and snakes for each question. By the way, you can also observe their moods, if you can." Allen said.

In the next month, Charlotte took a few questions from Allen Lie and chatted with the birds and snakes one by one, which made her mouth dry.Of course, she can't chat with the birds and snakes all the time. Sometimes she will play with them. They like to compare their sizes to see who can expand the most. The reward for the biggest one is to carry Charlotte in the sky Fly around.The birds and snakes were particularly satisfied with this reward, and Charlotte was even more satisfied.The only thing that may be dissatisfied is Alan. He is only allowed to move in a small area, otherwise he will be attacked by birds and snakes.

In mid-February, she finally received a letter from Lily and Severus. Lily's letter was full of admiration and joy, and the paper was full of exclamation marks telling Charlotte how happy she was: "Charles! Can't believe it! A Nimbus 2! Oh my God! You don't know how much those people envy me! Even the Quidditch team came to see me!!! I couldn't wait to go to Quidditch the day I received it Flying around the ground twice! That idiot James Potter is looking at my broom dumbly like a troll!!! Hahahaha! So happy! Ahhhhhh! I’m so excited! I love you !Charles!!!By the way! I hope your trip is still going well!"

Severus' letter was much more normal, and he also made a slight mention of Lily's broom: "I've been doing well, Charlotte. I hope you are doing well too. Lily's birthday caused quite a stir because She opened the birthday present you gave her at the dinner table, and I have to admit that she is a Gryffindor at this point. By the way, I have successfully researched two charms recently, throat sealing and toenail growth Curse, I think I'll be of use to the Potters next time they trouble me."

Potter is really indispensable, whether it is Lily or Severus, Potter can always appear in their letters.She wrote Lily and Severus a letter back, along with various potion ingredients and her drawing.

After spending another two months in the group of birds and snakes, Charlotte, who was about to be tanned black, followed Allen to the human gathering place outside the forest again.When they entered the local magic world, Charlotte first went to the potion shop and bought a bottle of beauty potion.The moment it was poured into her mouth, Charlotte almost spat it out, because this bottle of beauty potion was extremely unpleasant, especially the one made by Severus in front of it.

"Let me just say that the beauty potion is terrible." Allen teased with a smile, "Your little boyfriend's potion level is really good."

Charlotte gave him a white look. After drinking the potion, she couldn't wait to see if her skin had returned to fair.Although she in the mirror is a shade darker than when she first came to the Malay Peninsula, she is much whiter than when she entered this shop. Charlotte, who was relieved, continued to shop elsewhere stand up.

She spotted a booth around a corner.There are not only the magic pointer still in her pocket on it, but also various things with Huaguo characteristics. The stall owner is a Huaguo with black hair and black eyes.He warmly greeted Charlotte in fluent English: "Come and see these? They are all excellent items from Huaguo, and they can be of great use when traveling."

"Then can you introduce me?" Charlotte talked with people in a language that was both unfamiliar and familiar for the first time.

"Hey! You can still speak Chinese? This is rare, no, I have never seen such an authentic Chinese language in the place I went. Have you lived in Huaguo?" The stall owner said with a smile, There was disbelief in his squinted eyes, and he stood up from the stool and made a hand-cup salute.

Charlotte naturally learned to make one. Of course, she didn't know that what she did was not authentic, because there are subtle differences between men and women in China.

The stall owner didn't wait for Charlotte's answer. He continued, "Look at this? A tracing needle made by the Ye family, an ancient wizard family in Huaguo." He put the magic pointer in front of Charlotte, and Charlotte shook it. Shaking his head, he said, "I already have this."

"Then this?" The stall owner took out another mirror, "The Peeping Mirror! It comes from the Bai family, an ancient wizard family in Huaguo, as long as you input immortal-magic and bind a person, you can see the situation of that person at any time! "

Charlotte frowned, "Isn't that spying on privacy?"

The stall owner said with a smile: "If it is consensual, it is not considered spying. The condition of this binding is the consent of the bound person."

Charlotte shook her head, "I still don't want it, is there anything else?"

The stall owner pushed another object, which was an exquisite gossip plate, "This one, a good object for evoking souls."

"Spirituality? Soul?" Charlotte asked suspiciously.

"Yes, yes. Even people who have just died can be brought back by it." The stall owner lowered his voice and said seriously.

But Charlotte doesn't quite believe that there is no such thing as bringing the dead back to life in this world.She shook her head again, looked at the booth herself, and reached out her right hand to pick up a string of bracelets with engraved inscriptions.The stall owner saw the bracelet on her right hand sharply, and exclaimed: "Is this something made by the Qiu family?" He took a closer look and clicked his tongue, "It's a good thing, it's something made by the Qiu family. They are all top grade. I am blind, Your Excellency really doesn’t like those things just now.”

He backed away shaking his head, rummaged through the black box next to the stool, and took out a camera.This camera is different from the one Charlotte saw in Diagon Alley, more like a new camera from the Muggle world.The stall owner put the camera in front of Charlotte, and said: "Huaguo's latest camera, limited edition, can take photos of events without using magic potion. You just need to put some magic power into it. I finally made it I just got one, how about it, are you interested?"

Charlotte picked up this camera, which is really light and small. She picked it up and took a picture of the booth, and soon a photo appeared from the bottom of the camera, and the boss's hand was still in the photo. swinging.And when shooting, it doesn't emit choking green smoke like those cameras in Diagon Alley.

This aroused Charlotte's great interest. She stroked the edge of the camera lens and asked: "Do these blank photo papers need to be replenished? How should the magic power be replenished?"

"Wait, wait." The stall owner rummaged through the black box again, and quickly took out a book and a few rolls of blank photo paper, "Do you know Chinese?"

Charlotte nodded.

"Then there's no problem." The stall owner put the book and blank photo paper in front of Charlotte.

Charlotte picked up the book. The book is not too thick. On the cover of the hardcover, it says "Guidelines for the Use and Maintenance of Xianli Instant Imaging Camera". From the method of taking photos, to the method of saving photos, to adding photo paper and adding magic power, and also including regular maintenance methods, the content is very complete.

She was immediately moved.

"How much blank photo paper do you have here?" Charlotte asked.

"More than a dozen volumes, you can take hundreds of photos." The stall owner said, "Why, you want all of them?"

Charlotte nodded, "It's all." Then she thought that she didn't ask the price at all, what if it was more expensive than Nimbus 1500? "How much is it in total? I don't have Huaguo coins, I only have wizard coins."

"Wizard coins are fine! Although Huaguo is the only place without Gringotts, our bank in Huaguo has cooperated with Gringotts." The stall owner said with a smile. "A total of 300 Galleons."

Charlotte was relieved that it was a price she could afford.She took out her Gringotts key, twirled it in a round box, and with a jingle, she pulled it out.This indicates that the transaction has been completed.

"Meeting is fate, this is for you." The stall owner gave her another blue purse, embroidered with Charlotte's favorite phoenix on it, "there is not much space inside, but it is just right for a camera is enough."

Charlotte took the purse in surprise, "Thank you, this is really beautiful."

The stall owner smiled and waved his hands, "Where, where."

Charlotte stuffed the camera into her purse, and put the other things in her backpack. Only then did she use the magic pointer to find Alan who was drinking beer in the bar.Allen put a glass of cold beer in front of Charlotte, and Charlotte shook her head again and again, "I'm not old enough to drink."

"Fruit beer, the alcohol content is not high, it's okay to drink." Allen picked up the beer in his hand and took a big sip, "It's cold and comfortable, and the weather here is hot! The taste is so-so, how can it compare to the three brooms Butterbeer."

Charlotte dubiously took a sip of the fruit beer. It really looked like fruit juice, but the little bit of alcohol in it still made Charlotte not want to touch it again. "Does butter beer have so much alcohol?"

"It shouldn't be much. Third-year students can drink it when they go to Hogsmeade. Your little boyfriend and girlfriend are almost in third grade, right? They will be able to drink it this winter." Allen smacked his lips, as if reminiscing The deliciousness of butter beer. "Next time I'll take you to drink too."

"Let's hope there's no alcohol," Charlotte murmured, she really didn't like the taste of alcohol, but she wanted to drink it with Lily and Severus, if it was possible.

"What did you buy?" Alan asked suddenly remembering.

"This!" Charlotte took out the purse from her pocket, and then took out the camera from the purse, and then told Allen what happened to her at the booth.

Allen held the camera and looked carefully, and then returned it to Charlotte, "I dare say that the stall owner didn't say a few words of truth, but this camera is not bad, at least it's not a fake. With this, you don't You don’t need to paint, just take a picture.”

Charlotte nodded excitedly, stuffed the camera into her purse, and put it back in her pocket again, "It's like this, I bought more than 100 photo papers, and it should last for a while. But I still have to save, or else I'll die." When the time is running out, I don’t know where to replenish it.”

"Then shoot something worthwhile," Allen said.

On the second day after buying the camera, Charlotte took a very valuable picture.Allen was confronting the five bird snakes. Allen's raised feet were shaking, his grinning expression, and his open hands that dared not move were all honestly presented in the photo.

After Charlotte snickered and clipped the photo into her drawing book, she went up to untie Alan's girth, letting Alan, who almost stepped out of the prescribed area, put down his trembling feet.

The author has something to say:

According to online reading, 1 Gold Galleon = 50 RMB, so tens of thousands of cameras are really not cheap, hahahaha.
