[HP]Blue Soul

"I've already found the next research subject." Sitting in the study, Allen suddenly said to Charlotte who was reading a book.

They had been idle for some weeks since their study of the jays was concluded.Allen couldn't bear it anymore and looked for the next research subject.

"What is it?" Charlotte crawled out of the thick tome.

"The Hippogriff!" Allen jumped up excitedly, "Didn't I visit Professor Kettleburn a few days ago! You know him, right?"

"I know. A professor at Hogwarts." Lily said the unreliable professor of the Protection of Magical Animals class.

"Yes, yes. He told me that there were two more hippogriffs in the Forbidden Forest of Hogwarts more than 2 years ago." Allen paced back and forth.

"Marian and Bain!" Charlotte's eyes lit up.

"That's right!" Allen said with a smile, "I asked Professor Kettleburn to take me to see it. But he was inconvenient to move, and finally asked the gamekeeper to take me there. I'm sure it was Marianne And Bane!"

"And how are they doing? I mean, how are they doing in the Forbidden Forest?" Charlotte asked.

"Looks good. The big gamekeeper likes them." Allen shrugged.He leaned over to Charlotte's side, lowered his body and said softly to her, "I secretly told Marian and the others that we will meet in the forest in Hogsmeade this weekend. If they can understand."

"Of course Bain understands." Charlotte said helplessly.But she soon became interested again. "This weekend? Are we going to Hogsmeade?"

"Yes!" Allen said with a smile, "After meeting them at that time, I just took you to the three broomsticks in Hogsmeade village for two glasses of butterbeer. I promised you a long time ago."

Charlotte jumped up, her long black curly hair slapping her face, her eyes were bright as if they were hiding a light source.Since sending Bain and the others away, she has never forgotten Bain whom she had grown up with, and she has deep thoughts hidden in her heart.

The weekend came quickly, because it was already mid-November, and the weather had already entered the extremely cold time. Charlotte put on a sweater and wool trousers, wrapped a black cloak in a wizard robe, and then set off with Alan.Allen took Charlotte to the hillside next to Hogsmeade using Apparatus.They were standing on a big rock at this moment, from here they could see a few tall pillars in the distance, and the shadowy castle behind them.and green lumpy stuff.

It was so far away that Charlotte couldn't see very well.

Allen straddled the raised part of the stone with his left leg, pointed his right hand at the tall columnar things, and said, "Did you see that, that's the Quidditch pitch, and Hogwarts Castle is behind the pitch. "

Of course, Charlotte couldn't see clearly. The distance here was too far, and she worked hard to distinguish that there seemed to be many tall pointed towers in Hogwarts Castle.But even so far away, she could still feel the ancient aura from it.In this ancient building, there are two people she cares about most.

"Oh, I don't know when they will come." Allen squatted on the ground and began to draw circles, "I forgot to say the specific time."

"It's already afternoon." Charlotte tapped her watch.

"Will it really come?" Allen wailed. "I mean, did they really understand me?"

"It will." Charlotte murmured, and she pulled a dead grass on the ground, "Bane will definitely come."

The two foolish people waited until dark, but there was no living thing at all on the hillside where they were standing.Charlotte sat on a raised stone, gathered her robe, and a full moon slowly rose in the sky, casting silver light.Allen got up suddenly and kicked his feet, "Forget it, let's go. How can I expect magical animals to understand me."

Ellen turned and left, but Charlotte couldn't move. She felt that there were two black spots on the full moon in the sky that were slowly getting bigger.She opened her mouth slightly and held her breath as she watched the two black dots getting closer. When she saw what was in front of her eyes, she happily shouted: "Bain! Alan, it's Bain."

Allen, who had already descended the slope, heard it and climbed back quickly.

After Bain landed on the ground, he quickly ran to Charlotte's side. He rubbed the soft top of his head against Charlotte's cheek in surprise, his big orange eyes sparkled in the moonlight, [Summer!It's really Xia!Bane misses you, Xia! 】

Charlotte immediately hugged Bain's neck and rubbed against it fiercely. Her eyes were red, she stroked Bain's feathers, and said with a sob: "I miss you too, Bain."

Marianne chirped soaringly from behind.

"Oh, I'm really envious." Allen looked envious.

Bane has grown up a lot compared to two years ago, even slightly bigger than Marianne. When he spread his wings, Charlotte is conservatively estimated to be 12 feet long, which looks particularly huge.Charlotte patted Bane's beak, and he chirped happily.

[Come with us to the group, Xia.Because you saved me and Baine, the patriarch has always wanted to see you. ’ Marianne tweeted.

"But it wasn't the one who saved you—" Charlotte looked back at the poor Allen, "Marian asked us if we would go to their ethnic group."

Allen immediately put on a smiling face, "Really? Go, why not!" He suddenly rubbed his hands excitedly, "I've never entered the Forbidden Forest at night before!"

[This person also wants to be together? ] Marianne's tone was a little uncomfortable.

Charlotte cleared her throat uncomfortably, leaned over to Marianne and said softly, "He is a good man. In fact, he saved you all. I didn't do much to help."

【All right.I allow him to sit on my back. said Marianne proudly.

Charlotte quickly climbed onto Bane's back and motioned for Alan to do the same.Alan curled his lips and said unhappily: "I'm not as convenient as you." He bowed to Marianne, and Marianne nodded to him, so Alan dared to climb on its back, and then He immediately said again, "Before you fly, let me remind you, don't shout, okay?"

Charlotte laughed dryly, she had obviously gotten rid of this bad habit, when she was abroad, she restrained herself from riding a broom, and it must be the same this time.

[Let's go! 】

As Bain screamed, his 12-foot long wings spread out quickly, and Charlotte put his arms around Bain's neck. In a burst of bumps, Bain and Marianne took Charlotte and Alan to paddle quickly. After passing the gate of Hogwarts and the Quidditch pitch, Charlotte finally saw the appearance of the Quidditch pitch clearly under the moonlight.It was an oval five hundred feet long and 180 feet wide, with three high hoops on either side and high stands all around.

Soon they reached the sky above the Forbidden Forest. Because it was already dark, the forest under their feet was a black color under the moonlight, looking like a huge piece of black iron lying on the ground.The woods are so large that even from the air they cannot see the end.

Bane's smooth neck lowered, and Charlotte hugged Bane's neck firmly, buried her head in Bane's feathers, and when she felt the shock of hitting the ground, she realized that she had reached her destination.

Charlotte straightened up and looked around curiously.Because the trees had lush branches and leaves, the moonlight could only shine through the gaps in the leaves. She sat on Bain's back, and soon found many Hippogriff figures around the interlaced light and shadow.They surrounded Bane and Marianne.

Alan's trembling voice came: "This is too much..."

Charlotte didn't know whether he was frightened or excited.

A Hippogriff with a black body that seemed to be integrated with the night walked in front of Charlotte, and Charlotte was surprised to find it. She climbed off Bain and walked towards this place with some embarrassment. The hippogriff with a slightly imposing head bowed.

The Hippogriff also nodded towards him, and yelled, 【Are you the Xia that Marianne said saved them? 】

Charlotte waved her hand, "No, no." She pointed to Alan who was stiff and afraid to move, and said, "It was him, he saved Marianne. I just helped Bain when he was born."

【We are a group of people who know how to be grateful.You saved our members, you will be our friends.Also, you are a natural agreeable person, you will be our friend no matter what, Xia. 】

"Thank you."

Although Alan didn't know what Charlotte had communicated with them, he felt that the hippogriffs surrounding him slowly dispersed.He breathed a sigh of relief.

[I am Patriarch Cass, welcome to our territory.As long as you are in our territory, you can walk freely, but we cannot guarantee whether other creatures will attack him. 】

Charlotte thanked Cass, and soon Cass merged into the darkness again, and the other hippogriffs scattered.Seeing that they had finally finished communicating, Allen hurriedly leaned over and asked, "What did you say?"

Charlotte told Alan what Cass had just said.

"Well, it feels good to be regarded as a friend." Allen said with a smile, "Does this mean that our research can progress smoothly?"

Soon, Allen went to observe other hippogriffs.Charlotte also looked around curiously, and under the wisps of moonlight, she found that these hippogriffs were not just one color: dark gray, bronze, and pink sand fur (red). White and white), shiny maroon, and the inky black of Patriarch Cass.

Charlotte greeted the other hippogriffs and patted their heads.Soon Bane was pressing against her back in displeasure, pawing the ground manically.Charlotte approached Bahn and rubbed it's neck in a funny way, and said in a low voice, "You cheapskate."

Bane tilted his head proudly.

Charlotte climbed onto Bain's back, patted his neck, and said, "Then you can show me around."

Bane happily agreed.He slowly walked in the woods, and after passing many big trees with thick roots coiled on the ground, the surrounding trees gradually became thinner, and the brighter and brighter moonlight illuminated the ground. It was so clean that Charlotte could even see little spiders crawling on the ground.

She looked up and saw the disc-like moon hanging high in the sky. She suddenly thought of little Girard in the Cursed Village. At this time, he must be suffering great pain.

In this silence, Charlotte came to a fence.This is already the edge of the forest, beyond the fence is a meadow and a hillside.When Charlotte looked up, she could see a huge monster standing in the moonlight. It was Hogwarts Castle, as if it was majestically playing and singing ancient songs on the hillside.On the towering tall towers, lights can still be seen faintly.

Charlotte looked to the right again, and there was a cabin about 5 minutes away. The lights inside were flickering. Charlotte swallowed, and whispered to Bain, "Who lives there?"

[The gamekeeper.He's a nice guy, and a lot of our creatures love him. ] Bain said.

Charlotte was stroking Bain's feather in her hand, and the door of the cabin in the distance seemed to tremble. Her heart suddenly rose to her throat. She still remembered that they entered Hogwarts without permission. Yes, so she doesn't want to be seen by anyone.She said to Bane, "Go over there, Bane."

Bain continued to step on his feet, leading Charlotte to the opposite direction of the wooden house.After walking for a while, Charlotte suddenly saw a strange willow tree obliquely ahead.The branches of this tree appear to be alive, constantly dangling in the air.

Charlotte was a little curious, she jumped off Baine, and slowly approached the swaying willow tree.But soon a person came down from the slope of the castle, and Charlotte quickly hid behind the tree. After a while, the figure got closer and closer, and it turned out to be coming directly towards the strange willow tree.

Slowly, this figure showed its outline under the moonlight, and it turned out to be Severus.

Charlotte covered her mouth in surprise, the moonlight was hanging, this time was Hogwarts curfew time, how could Severus appear here?

Severus, who was close to the willow tree, didn't notice Charlotte, and he looked at the willow tree intently.Then with a wave of his hand, the dancing willow branch stiffly stopped in the air as if the pause button was suddenly pressed.When the strange willow stopped, Charlotte saw a satisfied smile on Severus' face.Then he disappeared into the roots of the willow tree.

Charlotte frowned, and walked cautiously under the willow tree.Suddenly stepping into the light from the darkness, Charlotte raised her hand and covered her eyes, only then did she see clearly what was under the willow tree, it was a big black hole.

Severus must have entered this hole.

Charlotte thought for half a minute, then sighed in compromise, she couldn't let go of her curiosity, let alone the person who entered was Severus.She dived into the black hole.The cave was very dark, and Charlotte didn't expect it to be a steep slope. She missed her foot, sat down on the ground, and slid down the steep slope.

It was pitch black in front of her eyes, and she couldn't tell where she was at all.She suddenly missed Severus' fluorescent light, maybe that light was not far from her?Resigned to her fate, she raised her hand and touched the surroundings. Through the touch, Charlotte roughly confirmed that this was a passage, and it was so short that she needed to bend down to move forward.

Charlotte groped forward all the way, as if after a century, Charlotte's waist was sore and her legs hurt, she gritted her teeth and did not give up.Slowly, she felt like she was going uphill, and there were more detours, so she stumbled, and soon she saw a ray of light.

Charlotte, who was getting closer and closer to the light, opened his right hand to cover his eyes, and blinked before looking at the front, which turned out to be a house.The house is a mess, every piece of furniture is tattered, it looks like it was broken, the walls are pasted with wallpaper, but it seems to be scratched one by one by some sharp object, and the windows on the walls are all broken. It was boarded up so that no light came through.

At this moment, there was a violent creaking sound overhead, and the low roar of animals pierced through the ceiling to Charlotte's ears, and she seemed to hear Severus' trembling voice.

Charlotte's mind went blank, and she ran upstairs.The door upstairs opened wide, and Charlotte, who entered the room, immediately saw a terrifying scene. On the ground next to a luxurious four-poster bed, a werewolf was holding Severus with his eyes tightly closed, thinking To bite his neck.

At this moment, Charlotte couldn't think of anything, she forgot that she had no recovery strength at all, rushed forward recklessly and hugged the werewolf, dragging him away from Severus with all her strength.However, she pulled the werewolf away easily, because the werewolf didn't struggle too much at all.

Severus, who didn't feel the pain, opened his eyes, and was horrified to find that the huge werewolf's limbs were hanging limply at this moment, as if it was slowly stepping back in coordination with the arms that bound him behind his back.The werewolf's originally red eyes turned dark green at this time.

However, it was the arms that made him most unbelievable. Although he couldn't see the face buried behind the werewolf, Severus would never mistake the bracelet on the white and tender wrists.He opened his mouth wide, trying to say the name, but he found something stuck in his throat.

"Snape! Little...heart."

The voice of James Potter, who suddenly ran in, suddenly stopped, because he found that someone had retreated to the corner holding Remus in the form of a werewolf.What was even more surprising was that the werewolf, who was supposed to be ferocious and bloodthirsty, was now limp and without resistance, and even slowly closed his eyes and passed out.

As the werewolf fell to the ground, the faces of those behind it were revealed.

Charlotte's heart was still beating violently, and she didn't quite understand why the werewolf became so obedient. If she had to explain it, she could only attribute it to her identity as a natural sympathizer.She quickly noticed Severus still lying on the ground with a horrified expression on his face.Charlotte didn't have time to pay attention to the other person by the door. She stepped over the sleeping werewolf and ran to Severus' side, asking anxiously, "Sev! Are you alright, Sev?"

Severus moved his mouth, as if finally regaining his voice, he said word by word from his throat: "You! Why! Are you here!"

Charlotte grabbed Severus's somewhat torn robe in a panic, she didn't expect to be greeted with Severus' anger and questioning.This caused bursts of grievances to suddenly appear in her heart.

Seeing the aqua in Charlotte's clear blue eyes, Severus suddenly hated his tone, but he was too scared and worried, he sat up and pulled Charlotte into his arms, tremblingly said : "How dare you, how dare you, you actually hugged a werewolf!"

James Potter next to him was shocked by this scene and couldn't find his way, but soon he rushed to his forehead, making his messy hair stand on his head one by one, he gritted his teeth and lowered his head. He said in a low voice, "Okay! Good job, you snot-nosed man, I didn't expect you to be on two boats!" Then he looked at the two people hugging each other, and couldn't be more angry. He blushed and yelled loudly. Said, "Snotty! Are you sorry for Lily?"

Severus let go of the girl in his arms, and pierced James Potter with his cold, sword-like eyes.But Charlotte is at a loss, what does this have to do with Lily?

Severus pulled Charlotte to stand up together, he held Charlotte's hand tightly, blocked her behind, and looked at James Potter with a sneer, "What? The righteous Potter's conscience found , to see if someone was killed by you?"

James Potter blushed even more, as if he was about to burn.He glared at Severus with red eyes, it was indeed Sirius who did something wrong, but he rushed over to stop it, "Damn snot, I'm here to save you!"

Severus sneered, "By the time you come, I may only have bones left."

"How is it possible!" James Potter roared, "Even if I die, I will save you."

James Potter never wanted to kill, let alone his friends becoming murderers.

"It's amazing, a righteous robber? One who is clearly a werewolf dares to study among the students, and one who wants to kill his classmates with evil intentions!" Severus said sarcastically through gritted teeth.If it wasn't for Black's reminder, how would he know how to stop the Whomping Willow, and how could he have gotten into the Shrieking Shack!

"Remus didn't deliberately become a werewolf, he was also killed! There's nothing wrong with him coming to study, Dumbledore agreed! He never hurt his classmates." James Potter retorted angrily.

Remus?Remus Lupin?Lyle Lupine's son?Charlotte looked at the werewolf lying on the ground. After completely turning into a wolf, Charlotte couldn't tell what he looked like when he was a human.

"He nearly killed me just now," Severus said coldly.

James Potter received it loudly, "You ran in by yourself. If you don't come in, nothing will happen!" He looked like a raging lion.

"Black's intentions are sinister, otherwise I wouldn't have come."

"He was just joking! You don't have to listen to him at all, it's obviously your unnecessary curiosity that hurt yourself."

Curiosity is not strong, how can I send you out of school, Severus gritted his teeth and thought.

"Snotling, you are not allowed to tell about Lupine." James Potter suddenly calmed down and said coldly.He finally remembered who the girl next to Snotluck was. He and Sirius were very impressed by the blue-eyed girl who stepped on them at the station.

"Why?" Severus frowned.

"The girl next to you!" James Potter's glasses glowed under the light, "She is not a student at Hogwarts! But she appeared at Hogwarts. As long as you don't tell me about Remus Get out, and I won't tell Dumbledore about this girl!"

Severus gritted his teeth, he never knew Potter was so cunning, he squeezed Charlotte's hand, and said in a deep voice: "Yes, not just Dumbledore, if you tell anyone about her, I will call Lu Spread the word about Ping, tell him to pack up and get out of Hogwarts."

After finishing speaking, he stopped looking at James Potter and pulled Charlotte downstairs.Charlotte glanced at James Potter who was standing still, took Severus' hand back, and followed his footsteps.Severus raised his wand with the Illumination Charm with his right hand, and held Charlotte's hand tightly with his left.They walked slowly in the passage silently, in the silent passage, only the sound of their kicking footsteps.

Charlotte could feel the temperature of her palms and the sweat on her palms.Her heartbeat was a little fast, even faster than in the dangerous situation just now.

After a long time, Severus finally led Charlotte out of the low passage.Charlotte straightened her waist, and gently tapped her sore waist with her spare left hand.Severus let go of Charlotte's hand as if he had been burned by something.

He lowered his dark eyes, looking carefully at the girl whom he hadn't seen for more than a month, but who was wandering in his heart all the time.He took a deep breath, giving up on Occlumency to suppress his inner surge.

Suddenly, there was a movement from the woods.Allen came out of the darkness, "Finally found you, Charlotte. I thought the magic pointer was broken, but it was pointing in the direction of Hogsmeade - hello, Severus!"

Severus pursed his lips and looked at the smiling Alan, he suddenly understood how Charlotte appeared here.

"Magic biologists breaking into the Forbidden Forest at Hogwarts in the middle of the night?" Severus said grimly.

"Ha, ha." Allen laughed dryly twice.

"I asked Bane to bring us here." Charlotte tugged at Severus's robe, "And it was only right that I came, otherwise I would have seen a grave."

Severus' anger subsided instantly.

"Just this time. When I apply to study magical creatures in the Forbidden Forest, we won't be here at night." Allen shrugged and spread his hands, "Then this journey will end soon? Charlotte? Isn't the time now? It's early." Allen tapped the watch on his wrist.

"Then go back." Severus looked down into Charlotte's eyes and said softly, "If you really can come to Hogwarts, I'll wait for you."

Charlotte nodded, and she turned to follow Alan until she climbed onto Bain's back, and Severus was still standing as firmly as a tree in the moonlight.

The author has something to say:

It's great to have Charlotte accompany Severus through all the painful things~
