[HP]Blue Soul

The exciting and exciting Saturday came. After spending the whole morning, Charlotte made a plate of soft cookies in the kitchen under stares of condemnation, which was taught by Lily.

After 1 o'clock in the afternoon, she came to Mrs. Bagshot's house with a small basket containing cookies.

Mrs. Bagshot's house is indeed not far away. It is diagonally opposite the forest, on a small hill, and can be climbed up by a slanting stone staircase.The hillside is full of flowers and plants, and it is already very beautiful from the bottom of the slope.

Among the flowers and plants, you can see a small pavilion with a steeple. Mrs. Bagshot is sitting in the pavilion drinking tea and reading a book, with the black cat Wendelin crouching by her hand.

"Mrs. Bagshot! I am a guest!" cried Charlotte from the foot of the hill.

"Come!" greeted Mrs. Bagshot with a half-hearted smile.

Walking through some rough stone steps, entering a bright flower bush, and then passing through the narrow cobblestone path among the flowers, Charlotte sat next to Mrs. Bagshot.

Mrs. Bagshot put down the book in her hand, poured her a cup of tea, and said in a playful tone: "The weather is very nice today, so I made a pot of honey black tea, which is very suitable for today's weather."

There are also delicious-looking pastries next to the teapot, muffins, slices of bread, and cakes that look very much like a cauldron.This is what Mrs. Bagshot called her specialty dessert. The soft body of the pot is made of chocolate, and there is a green panna cotta in the middle. It looks like a potion flowing out of a cauldron, so cute.Charlotte put in her own soft biscuit too.

"Crucible cake, try it quickly." Mrs. Bagshot pushed the cake in front of Charlotte.

Charlotte took the spoon and destroyed the cute little cauldron. When she put it in her mouth, she was immediately conquered. It was unexpectedly soft and sweet, and the taste was great.She raised her thumbs up and expressed her love for this snack with admiring eyes.

"I'm still very confident about the crucible cake." Mrs. Bagshot smiled contentedly. "Albus also likes my cauldron cakes, and always takes a few away every time he comes."

"Albus?" Charlotte asked taking a break, continuing to eat her cauldron cake, unwilling to stop for a moment.

"Albus Dumbledore, your headmaster, don't you know this?" Mrs. Bagshot took a sip of tea and smacked her lips.

"I know." Charlotte said vaguely, and soon she swallowed what was in her mouth, and said clearly, "He likes desserts?"

"I like it very much. I don't know when I developed a bad habit. It wasn't like this when they first moved in. When I went to visit with a cauldron cake, I was rejected." Mrs. Bagshot seemed to think of the time. The scene, the face is greatly puzzled.

"You still know the Dumbledore family?" Charlotte was a little surprised.

"Of course." Mrs. Bagshot pointed to the house in the back, "Look, that's the Dumbledore House, and I'm neighbors with them. At first, their house didn't welcome people to visit, and it took me a few years to get the chance to talk to them." They had a little exchange. Since Albus published a really good paper in Transfiguration Today, I wrote him a letter."

Mrs. Bagshot put in front of Charlotte the book she had been reading at first, which was Transfiguration Today.

"Since then, I have been in contact with Candela and the others. Alas, Candela is also a poor person. It is estimated that I am the only one who can talk to her in Godric's Valley."

"Candela is?"

"Albus's mother. She moved here alone with three children. Life was a bit hard at first, not to mention having to look at poor Ariana."

All kinds of people's names from Mrs. Bagshot's mouth were squeezed into Charlotte's mind, and Mrs. Bagshot didn't remember to introduce them in advance, which made Charlotte confused, but she could only listen like that.

"Speaking of Arianna, I just remembered that you look a bit like her." Mrs. Bagshot squinted her eyes and looked at Charlotte's face carefully, "It looks like a smile, and I think it looks more like her if you cover your hair. Ali Ana has beautiful blond hair. Come, let me see—the cloak flies!"

A black cloak flew from the house, and Mrs. Bagshot handed it to Charlotte, urging excitedly, "Quickly, put it on, and let me see."

Charlotte reluctantly put on the cloak and hood to cover her long black curly hair. She looked down at Mrs. Bagshot and laughed again according to Mrs. Bagshot's instructions.

Mrs. Bagshot was full of admiration, "Like, really like, you both have a pair of beautiful and pure blue eyes. No wonder I always felt so familiar when I first met you. ——Take a seat."

The puzzled Mrs. Bagshot invited Charlotte to sit down again, and happily poured another cup of tea for Charlotte.Charlotte took off her cloak and put it aside, took a sip of tea, and listened to Mrs. Bagshot continue.

"It's a pity that she was also a beautiful girl, but she died in the end. I don't know what happened at the time, but Aberforth beat Albus at the funeral. I guess it has something to do with it."

Well, more and more names came up, Charlotte thought with a headache.

"Actually, I guess, maybe it has something to do with my grandnephew. I didn't expect that the clever and mischievous Gellert would end up becoming a dark wizard. I also introduced him to Albus, and they played together during the summer vacation." It's good, it's good, it's like a person. Sigh..."

Gellert?The only famous dark wizard named Gellert is Gellert Grindelwald, right?He was Mrs. Bagshot's grandnephew?Charlotte was astonished, and she was even more astonished that the dark wizard Dumbledore had defeated should be his good friend.

"Kendra had just passed away, and Albus had to take care of Ariana at home. It was hard to see him alone, so I wanted Gellert to be with him. Well, let's not talk... let's talk Fantastic Creatures Weekly?"

Finally, when it came to the field Charlotte was familiar with, she could only keep all the clues about Mrs. Bagshot just said in her heart, and talked about the research she and Allen had done.

It wasn't until the sun began to sink that they were interrupted by a clear chirping sound, and a fiery bird that seemed to be burning flew over majestically and landed on Charlotte's shoulder.

"Fox!" exclaimed Mrs. Bagshot in surprise.

Charlotte looked sideways at this beautiful bird with eyes full of radiance. She had already recognized that it was a phoenix, her favorite magical creature, a legendary phoenix!Just stop on her shoulder!

Look at the bright red glowing feathers!Look at that shiny long tail!Look at that long sharp beak and claws!It is so beautiful!

Charlotte couldn't contain her excitement at all.

"Albus is back?"

[This is really a strange girl. 】

Phoenix Fawkes flew away from Charlotte's shoulder again, and flew in the direction of Dumbledore. Charlotte saw a tall and thin old man standing there, who looked very much like the owner of the Pig's Head Bar.

He approached slowly, not the owner of the Pig's Head Bar, he had gray hair and beard, long hair and beard almost reaching his waist.On his slightly crooked nose bridge is a pair of half-moon-shaped glasses, and behind the glasses are bright blue eyes.And the phoenix Fawkes stood on his shoulder and combed its feathers with its beak.

"Why are you back, Albus?" asked Mrs. Bagshot.

"I have something to take care of." Dumbledore said with a smile, "Didn't bother you?"

"No, no," said Mrs. Bagshot, "I have a good chat with Charlotte, and you can join in. I remember you also have some research on magical creatures? This is Charlotte Smith, amazing, the new issue Have you read Fantastic Creatures Weekly?"

Dumbledore stared at Charlotte, but his eyes were a little far away, as if he was looking at someone through her. He sighed and said, "So it was you, Miss Smith. Of course I read "Fantastic Creatures Weekly". This is why you came back. Professor Kettleburn told me that you want to do research in the Forbidden Forest?"

"Yes... yes." Charlotte murmured.Although Dumbledore always smiled kindly, she just felt the pressure for no reason.

"What is there to study in the Forbidden Forest?" Mrs. Bagshot didn't quite understand, probably because she was a relatively early student at Hogwarts, and there were not so many creatures in the Forbidden Forest at that time.

Some of the magical creatures in the Forbidden Forest have slowly entered the Forbidden Forest for nearly a hundred years.

"Hippogriff?" said Dumbledore uncertainly.

"Yeah." Charlotte nodded.

"There are hippogriffs in the Forbidden Forest?" said Mrs. Bagshot.

"It was only moved here a few years ago." Dumbledore said, "This is not a tame animal, aren't you afraid?"

"No!" said Charlotte firmly. "The hippogriffs are my friends, and they won't hurt me."

"Okay, I agree with you to go to the Forbidden Forest." Dumbledore blinked, "But someone must be with you. And it's best to go through normal channels, it's not so good at night."

Charlotte's breathing was messed up. She felt that Dumbledore already knew about her and Allen sneaking into the Forbidden Forest at night. Dumbledore continued, "You can apply for the Floo Network in my office, and I can special I will open a convenient door for you. At that time, I will also let someone take you into the Forbidden Forest."

Charlotte did not expect that Dumbledore did not continue to talk about that night, but opened the door for her.She nodded excitedly: "Yes, yes! Thank you, Headmaster Dumbledore!"

"I prefer to be called Professor Dumbledore," said Dumbledore, laughing.

"Okay, okay, thank you, Professor Dumbledore." Charlotte said sincerely.

"Does that mean we'll see your masterpiece again then?" said Mrs. Bagshot.

"It's not a masterpiece...it's not certain whether it will be included in the first three editions." Charlotte said shyly, this time the research was her own attempt, and she might not be as good as Alan.

"Be confident." Dumbledore said with a smile, "If you have any questions, you can ask Professor Kettleburn, he will definitely be happy to give you some help."

"Okay!" Charlotte nodded hastily.

Everything went really smoothly today. She couldn't slow down until she got home. She turned around and ran out just after entering the courtyard gate, and ran to the cemetery quickly. She wanted to tell Alan about this immediately. Can't wait for a moment.

The long black hair fluttering in the wind showed her happy mood, and the orange sunset was dyeing her hair golden.

Sitting familiarly next to Allen's tombstone, Charlotte touched Allen's photo, in which Allen hid to the edge of the photo to avoid her touch.Charlotte clicked the photo with a smile, and said, "I have good news for you! Professor Dumbledore agreed to let me go to the Forbidden Forest to study Hippogriffs! I don't know why he agreed. Never mind, anyway Just agree. By the way, I think Dumbledore knew about the fact that we sneaked into the Forbidden Forest at night before, and I feel that nothing can be hidden from his eyes. In fact, he looks quite amiable, but I just feel a little guilty , I don’t know why. You have to watch me carefully in another world. Maybe the paper I wrote alone can be published in the first edition. At that time, they will say, Alan Travers’s Daughter, isn't it a bright new star in the world of magical creatures?"

"I look forward to seeing that day."

A voice sounded from behind Charlotte, and Charlotte turned her head abruptly. It turned out to be Professor Dumbledore, although at the first moment she almost thought she saw the owner of the Pig's Head Bar.

Dumbledore was looking down at him, his soft eyes seemed to be remembering something, and there was a bit of nostalgia in his blue eyes.Charlotte suddenly remembered what Mrs. Bagshot said, and she asked curiously: "Mrs. Bagshot said I look a bit like Arianna?"

"Hehe." Dumbledore laughed, and Charlotte always felt that he saw the meaning of "as expected" in it, "It is somewhat similar, especially the back view of you sitting here just now, which made me think I saw it again her."

"But unfortunately, I'm not her." Charlotte looked up at Dumbledore. At this moment, Dumbledore was not surrounded by an inexplicable pressure like before, but was replaced by a kind of sadness and depression.

"Yes, sorry," said Dumbledore softly.His expression was a little sad, but it was more guilt.Charlotte didn't quite understand it, mainly because Mrs. Bagshot's narrative was hidden and revealed, and she couldn't sort it out at all.

"Mrs. Bagshot always likes to tell my stories." Dumbledore seemed to have read Charlotte's mind, "I hope it didn't cause trouble to you."

"No." Charlotte shook her hands in a panic, "I'm afraid it will trouble you more."

"It's okay, no one is a saint without flaws, even me." Dumbledore blinked (is he often this playful? Charlotte thought), and said with a smile, "As long as I continue to do what I hope That's enough to do, and the rest can be left behind."

Hua Guo's words suddenly appeared in Charlotte's mind: fame and fortune are like floating clouds.She felt that she liked this transparent and kind old man a little bit.

"Welcome to Hogwarts, Charlotte."

Charlotte was flattered by Dumbledore's sincere tone, she bowed cautiously to Dumbledore, and said, "Thank you for your accommodation, I will open the Floo network as soon as possible, and I will trouble you then.
