[HP]Blue Soul

It's been such a busy month. During the day, Charlotte immersed herself in her thesis at Allen Manor, went to rehearse her play after 4 pm, and went home at 7 pm to help Severus process the potion materials.Charlotte liked this kind of life very much, because she had more time to spend with Severus, and could watch his face concentrating on boiling the potion, instead of being separated by a door with only a few greetings a day.

After spending so much time in Severus' potions room, Charlotte finally realized how busy Severus was.Even at night, owls knocked on the windows from time to time, and his two cauldrons kept steaming and purring.Occasionally, he would sit at a table piled with parchment papers, frowning and drawing, as if stuck in a problem.

After dealing with many potion ingredients, Charlotte finally found something wrong.Most of the materials to be processed are used to make potions such as palliatives, blood tonics, and refreshing potions, but some of them are completely identical to those of her soul stabilizer, except for one or two different ingredients.And every time the potion was finished, Severus's mood would visibly deteriorate, and then he ignored the uncooled liquid in the crucible, and just waved his wand to clean up the crucible.

That night Charlotte decided to take a good look at Severus.

This wasn't the first time Severus had watched a potion brew.Severus doesn't have such a delicate and handsome face, and his big hooked nose makes him look ordinary, but Charlotte will still sigh that the serious Severus really has a unique handsomeness.

When he made the potion, his face was serious, his brows were slightly wrinkled, but his hands were steady.Unlike Alan who has to weigh the weight first every time, Severus's hand is like a scale, he can always control the desired amount skillfully and throw the materials into the crucible in an orderly manner.And every time he puts the material, he will stir it in a different way.

He looked serious and focused, as if he was making some exquisite handicraft.The rising white steam enveloped his face, and under the yellowish light, he seemed to be glowing.

But as the liquid in the crucible boiled more and more, the cloudy liquid slowly began to clear up. Severus turned off the fire under the crucible expectantly, watching the liquid gradually cool down.But soon disappointment appeared on his face again, and Charlotte glanced at it, and there was a silver-gray liquid inside.

Severus let out a foul breath and waved his wand despondently to clear the contents of the cauldron.

He walked back to the table on his own, and began to write and draw on his parchment again.Charlotte walked softly to Severus' side, looking at the parchment.There are only a few seemingly fixed materials written on it, and those are all materials that Charlotte is very familiar with. Under the materials, there are numbers starting from 100, and one or two other materials are written after the numbers.The materials also had sentences such as "the wrong color, grey" written underneath them.

Severus kept his pen on the tip, looking like he was experimenting with other combinations.

"Why not add the bird feather and peppermint?" Charlotte said suddenly.

Severus thought for a moment, his eyes lit up suddenly, he patted the table, then dipped his ink, and wrote these two materials on the parchment.Then he suddenly realized who was giving him advice: "How do you know?"

Charlotte pursed her lips, she was completely sure that what Severus was doing was the soul stabilizer, she stared at the parchment on the table and said, "I'm just saying, the potion book I read says Both are good for the memory and the soul."

Severus nodded and believed Charlotte's words, because these two materials are indeed very common. The feather of the soundless bird is often used to make memory potions and truth truth potions, and peppermint is often used in euphoria potions, because Adding a sprig of peppermint can counteract the occasional side effects of singing too much and twisting your nose.

Severus immediately rummaged from his potion ingredient rack to find the Soundbird feather left over from his last time making Veritaserum, as well as the peppermint he always had on hand.He set up a crucible of water again and concentrated on boiling it.

After more than an hour of earnest cooking, in the rising white steam, the smile on Severus's face became bigger and bigger. Charlotte pursed her lips and walked to his side, and she saw the light blue It was a dark liquid, but compared to the one made by Allen, the one made by Severus was clearer and translucent, and it seemed to be of much better quality.

"It worked!" Severus exclaimed in surprise.

"A beautiful color," said Charlotte, who was staring blankly at the liquid in the cauldron.

"Charlotte?" Severus frowned, Charlotte's expression looked a little off.

"Ah, uh..." Charlotte came back to her senses, "It's really a beautiful color." She lowered her eyes slightly and said, "What is this potion for?"

"It has something to do with the soul." Severus replied, his joy made him quickly ignore what was wrong with Charlotte, "but I don't know what effect it will have." Severus took a few glasses bottle, flicked the wand, and soon the light blue liquid in the crucible automatically turned into a wisp and flew into the glass bottle.

Charlotte raised her eyebrows, "Is there such a simple way?"

"Wizards always have some shortcuts." Severus continued to pick up another bottle and filled it.

"But Alan asked me to assemble it myself." Charlotte gritted her teeth and said.

The corners of Severus's mouth twitched, "How about you help me like this?" He suddenly appreciated Alan's wicked taste.

Charlotte snorted and ran out of the room, "I don't! Good night! I'm going to sleep!" Then he climbed up to the second floor, and shouted down from the stairs on the second floor, "Since you succeeded Go to bed early too! Don’t stay up late!”

Severus curled his lip amusedly, and continued to fill the other bottles.After filling the last drop of liquid from the cauldron into the bottle, he immediately walked to the table and wrote down the final list of ingredients for the potion on a piece of fresh parchment.He then wrote another letter, briefly introducing the results of his research.

Finally he let out a long breath. After many failures, he finally passed Voldemort's test.Moreover, this time is much faster than he imagined, and this has to be thanks to Charlotte's help, she can suddenly wake him up in many ways.but……

Severus thought about the time he spent with Charlotte at night, and he always felt that something was wrong and he ignored it.With this doubt in mind, he climbed up to the bathroom on the second floor, and after hastily washing up, he said "good night" to the mistletoe on Charlotte's door, and quickly went downstairs and fell on the small bed in the potions room .

He closed his eyes and recalled for another 10 minutes, then suddenly opened his eyes, his wide eyes showed how restless he was.For so many days, Charlotte was not very proficient in handling materials, and she would stumble a little bit on some materials, and she didn't learn it quickly until he asked for guidance.But Charlotte seemed to have made each of the materials he used to make the soul stabilizer thousands of times.

This can only show one thing, and that is that Alan Travers often makes soul stabilizers, why is this?

Severus thought for a long time, staring at the black ceiling with his eyes open, and finally he couldn't hold back.He pulled out his spare wand from under the pillow, said "Lumos", and climbed up to the second floor.

Standing at Charlotte's door, Severus raised his hand to knock on the door, but hesitated and put it down.It was midnight, and Charlotte must have fallen asleep. It would be inappropriate for him to disturb at this time.But he couldn't suppress his restless heart.In the end, he chose to sit at the small square table next to the door, with his left hand resting on his cheek while his right hand kept shaking his wand.The white spot of light flickered in the darkness, and in the flickering light, Severus' face was as cold as a stone sculpture.

Soon, something flashed in his sight.Severus stopped the wand in his hand, and he used it to push away a pillow beside the square table.On the edge of the pillow was an empty potion bottle.Severus frowned and picked up the potion bottle. There was still a little liquid in the potion bottle, which was slightly blue under the light of the wand.

Charlotte woke up the next day, and as soon as she opened the door, she saw Severus sitting at the square table. There seemed to be a shadow covering his whole body, which made Charlotte shiver uncontrollably.Covering her mouth, she asked, "Sev? What are you doing sitting here so early in the morning?"

Severus didn't answer, but his moving hand told Charlotte he was awake.She walked quickly across the table, and finally saw what was turning in Severus' hand, it was her potion bottle.The last time I was drinking upstairs, Severus suddenly came up to use the bathroom, and she scrambled to stuff it under the pillow.But then she forgot about it.

Charlotte let out an exclamation.

"This... this..." Charlotte stammered.

"Are you nervous?" Severus' voice was low and hoarse, "Should you explain to me?"

Charlotte, who was full of "being discovered", was a little flustered. For a moment, she forgot that she hadn't rinsed her mouth, put down her hand covering her mouth, and tried her best to explain, "That... that is... I have been , recently... you know, I used to be inattentive and prone to... being in a daze." Charlotte suddenly thought of a breakthrough, "That... that is... because of the instability of the soul, Alan found Method, boil this for me."

Severus didn't believe it easily, he stopped his fingers turning the medicine bottle, looked up at Charlotte, "Really?"

"Really." Charlotte replied quickly.

"Then why did you keep it from me?" Severus stood up, looking down at Charlotte, "It's not something worth hiding."

"I was afraid you were worried." Charlotte said sincerely, and she wasn't lying about that, she was really afraid that Severus would be worried. "And it's almost fine, as long as you drink the potion on time." Charlotte tilted her head and said flatteringly.

Severus snorted.

"Can't it be cured all at once?" Severus said coldly.

"No." Charlotte stuck out her tongue, "It's once every two months now, but maybe it will become once a month in the future." Until it finally became once a week.Charlotte's moist eyes met Severus without fear, and she suddenly didn't want to let go of any corner of the boy's face in front of her, scanning greedily and enthusiastically.

Severus' face froze, his eyes gradually becoming a deep tunnel, hollow and cold.Charlotte has seen this situation more than once. Since this summer vacation, he will occasionally become like this, as if he has learned some magic that can not show his emotions.

"Why does it become once a month, and this potion will produce resistance?" Severus asked in a low voice.

"Maybe." Charlotte murmured, "I don't know too well, but Alan said so." I hope Alan forgives her for using him as a shield, and immediately she has an idea to change the subject, "No Not to mention, the potion you made is hundreds of times better than Allen's, and the color is very unusual, or, why don't you show me what you made?"

Severus sighed softly, the coldness on his face and the hollowness in his eyes faded quickly, and warmth returned to his pupils.He said, "When is your next drink?"

Charlotte counted with her fingers, "September 9rd or 3th. You have already gone to school." Charlotte rubbed her foot on the ground.

"Then write to me. I will put a bottle with you, and you must explain the situation to me every time you drink it in the future, including your current state, the effect of taking the medicine at the time, and the reaction after taking the medicine. I am at home You can tell me directly, if you're not around, you can write." Severus said slowly, drawing out his voice, "It's best not to hide anything, Miss Smith." He stared at Charlotte with his eyebrows hanging upside down. At a glance, "If there is really drug resistance, I will continue to improve."

After saying these words, Severus tossed off his robe and went downstairs without looking back, "Now, you can go wash up."

Charlotte immediately covered her mouth, she had spoken to Severus for so long without washing up!Oh my god, she rolled her eyes to herself and rushed into the bathroom.

In the following time, Charlotte would still help Severus handle the potion ingredients.Severus stopped making soul stabilizers, but he started making a wider variety of potions.This made Charlotte a little flustered, because she didn't know how to deal with many potion ingredients.Finally Severus couldn't stand Charlotte's clumsiness, and he threw Charlotte a book, telling her to read it before helping him.

Charlotte obediently took the potion book out of the potion room, and sat on the cushion beside the tea table.Under the yellowish light, the words "Advanced Potion Making" on the book were shining brightly, and Charlotte curled her lips. Isn't this the book Alan showed her before.

She flipped through it casually, and soon she was attracted by the book.Unlike Alan's new book, the one Severus gave her had densely written words on it.Some of the words are re-added on the basis of crossing out the original words.

"Sure enough, he is a potion genius." Charlotte sighed.

Charlotte flipped through it again, and soon, she was attracted by a line of small words on the back cover. The handwriting was very small, just like Severus' handwriting in the book.

"This Book is the Property of the Half-Blood Prince (this book belongs to the Half-Blood Prince)." Charlotte read out softly.Then she chuckled, and rubbed the words Half-Blood Prince with her fingertips, thinking: I never thought that Sif was still so cute, and he took this title for himself.

Charlotte immediately had a flash of inspiration, and quickly went upstairs to get a pen, and wrote a very small line below the publisher on the third cover (the reverse page of the back cover): "You're my prince, always .FromyourFairyPrincess. (You are my eternal prince, from your Fairy Princess)."

She happily put the pen aside, closed the book and pressed it, praising her ingenuity.Since Severus used his mother's last name, Prince, as a nickname, he had the audacity to use her first name, Ferry.Charlotte smiled mischievously, and whispered, "See when you can find out."

In order to see Severus' innovations in potions, she decided to read the book from the beginning, which must be much more interesting than the one Alan threw at her.

Every page of the book has Severus' annotations, for example, the last time Severus told her how to deal with sleepy beans, it was written next to the recipe of Living Hell Potion.Severus' notes filled nearly every blank space on the page.And because his handwriting is relatively small and dense, Charlotte needs to read carefully to understand what he wrote.From this point of view, Severus really restrained himself a lot when he wrote to him, Charlotte thought.

The summer vacation flew by quickly, and at the end of August, Severus took Charlotte to Diagon Alley to buy new textbooks for Defense Against the Dark Arts class.According to Lily, since the second-year Defense Against the Dark Arts professor resigned, they have changed to a second Defense Against the Dark Arts professor, and the third-year professor left after not staying for a year.Every professor needs different textbooks, so they have to buy new textbooks.

In Diagon Alley, Charlotte saw the platinum-blonde hair flickering past, which gave her a sense of familiarity, but soon she was attracted by the ice cream Severus bought her.What could be better than hanging out with Severus!
