[HP]Blue Soul

Charlotte didn't expect that it would be difficult for her to open the Floo Network, because she needed to go to the Floo Network Administration of the Ministry of Magic to go through the relevant procedures.Charlotte, who didn't know where the Ministry of Magic was at all, asked Roy for help. He enthusiastically took her to the Ministry of Magic and was busy helping her all the way.

Not only did he help Charlotte open the Floo network connecting to the headmaster's office at Hogwarts, he even enthusiastically helped her connect to the "Sniffing Pet Shop".

It had to be said that it was much more convenient for her to go to Hogsmeade this way.

After this matter was settled, Charlotte did not go to Hogwarts immediately, because she had not yet listed the topic and outline of her thesis.And with little experience, she needs to spend a lot of time studying Alan's previous manuscripts, which will take time.

However, Charlotte first wrote to tell Severus and Lily the good news, and then they would be able to meet at Hogwarts, which is an exciting thing to think about.

In March, she finally got the outline ready, but she was still a little uneasy, so she wrote a thick letter and sent the outline to Professor Kettleburn for his opinion. and help.

In this regard, Professor Kettleburn was very generous. He not only helped her point out some of the problems, but also gave her many suggestions.She revised it a few more times before finalizing it in April.

After making an appointment with Dumbledore for a specific time through the owl, the day before his departure, Charlotte couldn't sleep nervously, checked the things to be brought over several times, and finally lay on the bed and couldn't sleep.Her heart was full of excitement, anticipation, and excitement, because she was about to step into a place she had imagined for many years.

As soon as the next day dawned, Charlotte got up energetically, as if the person who tossed until the early morning last night was not her at all.After checking the things that need to be brought again, after eating the love breakfast prepared by Xingxing, Charlotte set off with some excitement and some apprehension.

The stars lit the fire for Charlotte. After greeting the stars, Charlotte stepped into the green flame and said clearly, "Hogwarts principal's office."

The Floo trip still made Charlotte feel uncomfortable, but Charlotte, who landed in the headmaster's office at Hogwarts, temporarily ignored her churning stomach.Because this office is definitely the weirdest office Charlotte has ever seen.

The office is a spacious and beautiful circular room, and all kinds of strange little voices can be heard continuously, as if there are mysterious residents living in some corner.On a slender-legged table in the middle of the room, there were many curious silverware, whirling around and belching little puffs of smoke.Also in the room was a huge table with claw-shaped legs.On a shelf behind the desk was a tattered, crumpled wizard's hat.There is also a row of dark cabinets under the shelves.

In Charlotte's view, none of these were weird, and the weirdest thing was the portraits of wizards hanging all over the walls. They were both men and women, snoring softly in their respective photo frames.Although they both had their eyes closed, Charlotte still felt uncomfortable.

Soon she saw a familiar presence behind the door, it was the Phoenix Fox, and it was stopping on a tall gilded perch.As if finally seeing Charlotte notice him, he tweeted happily, 【You're so early, human.Dumbledore is not here, maybe you need to wait a little longer. 】

Hearing the title of human, Charlotte was slightly embarrassed. She was really only looking at the phoenix at the time, and she didn't have time to introduce herself. She moved to Fox in front of her suitcase and said, "Then wait a while, I'm not in a hurry. Also, I haven't introduced myself yet, you can call me Charles."

[Okay, Charles.I just didn't expect that besides Dumbledore, there are people who can understand my language. This is not something that ordinary people with natural affinity can do. ] Fox tilted his head and looked at Charlotte curiously.

"There are always strange things in the world, and my ability is just one of them."

As Charlotte spoke, she looked curiously at Fox's gilded perch.There is also an oval-shaped brazier under the perch, and there is a thick layer of ashes inside. Charlotte remembered the legend of the phoenix's nirvana, and she thought this was the ashes left by Fox's nirvana.

Next to the brazier, there was a square glass jar containing a pile of black beans. Charlotte was a little confused about what it was, but the shape reminded her of a bad creature, and then the black beans suddenly burst into one after another. jumped up.

Charlotte was taken aback, but soon she finally remembered what it was, a candy called a cockroach pile that she had seen in Honeydukes.At that time, she wondered why would anyone buy this kind of candy?Unexpectedly, there was one in front of him. Dumbledore's hobby is really strange.

Well, this whole office is very strange, and the pile of cockroaches is not the most peculiar, Charlotte secretly glanced at the sleeping portraits on the wall, and swallowed.

She whispered to Fox, "Who are those people on the wall?"

[The previous headmasters of Hogwarts. 】

"Every session?"

【Yes. 】

Then they are all very powerful wizards. In Charlotte's view, all wizards who can become the headmaster of Hogwarts have very high achievements.The portraits, however, do not appear to be as animated as Pascal's.

"Then they've been sleeping?" Charlotte asked again.

[Not necessarily, occasionally talking to Dumbledore. 】

Time passed by, and the headmaster's office became silent again. The grunting sounds of the headmasters on the wall reached Charlotte's ears clearly. Hit her legs.

And Charlotte was staring at Fox in a daze, she wanted to touch Fox's beautiful fiery red feathers, and the long tail feathers.But Fawkes looked like a sacred object that could only be seen from a distance, and she felt sacrilege to touch.

Well, I have to admit, this is her mind at work.She likes Phoenix and worships Phoenix.Live to death, live forever.

After a while, when Charlotte was about to get tired from standing, the closed oak door was finally pushed open.Dumbledore walked in first. He was wearing a purple wizard robe and a purple wizard hat with a strange shape on his head, looking very energetic.There was a smile in his blue eyes behind half-moon glasses, and he pretended to be surprised and said, "You're early, and Hogwarts just started its first class."

"Excuse me, Professor Dumbledore."

"I hope I didn't keep you waiting too long." Dumbledore blinked. "Hogwarts is very big, so I brought a guide."

Charlotte looked at the man behind Dumbledore. He managed to squeeze in through the oak door. He was almost twice the size of an ordinary person and three times the size of an ordinary person.Even the tall, thin Dumbledore looked like a child next to him.

As for his face, it was almost completely covered by unkempt long hair and thick tangled beard, and only a little bit of his light-colored skin could be seen in it, which looked a little scary.And the black beetle-like eyes shining under his hair were staring at Charlotte curiously.

"Hello, my name is Rubeus Hagrid, everyone calls me Hagrid." Hagrid narrowed his black beetle-like eyes and said to Charlotte with a smile.

"You - hello, Hagrid." Charlotte bowed primly to the giant Hagrid.

"Don't worry too much, Charlotte." Dumbledore said with a smile, and he patted Charlotte on the shoulder, "This is the school's gamekeeper, he also likes magical creatures, and he will go with you in the future In the Forbidden Forest. Doesn’t it look much safer this way?”

Hagrid laughed.

Charlotte smiled wryly, "It's really safe." She felt like a little chick in front of Hagrid, who could be crushed to death with one finger at will.

"Hagrid, then take Charlotte to the Forbidden Forest," said Dumbledore.

Charlotte carried the box and said to Dumbledore, "Thank you, Professor Dumbledore."

"Go, let Hagrid bring you here when you want to go back, he knows the password." Professor Dumbledore walked to his desk, leaning on the corner of the desk and said to Charlotte.

Charlotte nodded, and followed the big gamekeeper out of the oak door.Outside the oak door is a section of stone stairs. Looking down, the stairs below are actually rotating. Charlotte stepped on the rotating stairs, but couldn't stand firmly and almost fell down.Supported by Hagrid's big hand, he said with a unique accent: "It's not easy to stand firm for the first time, are you okay?"

"Thank you, Hagrid. I'm fine." Charlotte quickly said to Hagrid after standing still.Hagrid's voice rumbled like thunder, and the voice seemed to come from the top of her head because of the height.

As the spiral staircase descended, Charlotte's head was a little dizzy, but soon reached the bottom, Hagrid led Charlotte down the stairs, the wall in front of them cracked, and they walked out .There was a corridor in front of her. Looking back, Charlotte saw that the wall had been closed, and beside the wall was a huge ugly stone monster.

"This is the third floor of the castle, we have to go down first," said Hagrid as he walked.

His steps were a bit long, and Charlotte trotted along.There are windows on the left side of the corridor, and moving portraits are hung on the wall on the right side. They are all looking at Charlotte curiously on the frame.Soon they reached the stairs, Charlotte opened his mouth wide and looked at the stairs in front of him, the stairs above were constantly moving.

Even though Lily had told her about it long ago, it was far less shocking than when she saw it with her own eyes.

"Be careful. Although it's not a high floor, be careful not to step on the air." Hagrid reminded carefully.

Following Hagrid's stop-and-go, they finally came to the foyer, and they went down the huge marble staircase, and Charlotte was shocked again.The foyer was big enough to fit a house, the stone walls were surrounded by flaming torches, and the ceiling was so high that the top could hardly be seen.

Directly opposite the marble staircase was a large oak door, flanked by a niche in which four gigantic hourglasses were set side by side.Each hourglass is filled with precious stones instead of sand. They are divided into four colors: red, blue, green, and yellow. However, it can be seen that the four colors are very tight, and the green one is even better.Thinking of Severus and Lily's house, Charlotte guessed that red meant Gryffindor and green meant Slytherin.

Soon they left the castle, and came across the fields to a cabin that Charlotte was somewhat familiar with, the one she had seen in the woods.There was another crossbow and a pair of rubber galoshes in front of the door of the wooden house, and a pink umbrella leaned next to it.Hagrid pushed the door open with Charlotte and went in.The wooden house has only one room, with hams and pheasants hanging from the ceiling. To Charlotte’s left is a fireplace. In front of the fire is a huge wooden table and wooden chairs. There is a large bed in the corner, and the bed is made of broken pieces.

Hagrid picked up a copper pot and filled it with water, and asked, "Would you like a cup of tea?"

"Oh, thank you." Charlotte stood by the table and looked curiously at the palm-sized pancakes on the table. The shape was very irregular, and it looked rough.

"Sit down, Charlotte." Hagrid put the copper pot on the fire in the fireplace and sat down on the wooden chair himself. He smiled and pushed the plate towards Charlotte, "I made this The rock skin cake tastes pretty good."

Charlotte, embarrassed to refuse, picked one up and took a light bite.Touching his cheeks, he smiled awkwardly at Hagrid.There was a hint of shyness and apology in Hagrid's dark eyes. He scratched his head with his big hands and said, "Maybe it's a little hard."

Charlotte tore a little bit of the edge, took small bites, it was very chewy but still edible, she smiled and said, "It's delicious, sweet, thank you, Hagrid."

Hagrid was moved. He sniffed and said, "You are fine, Charlotte. Dumbledore told me that you like magical creatures very much and are doing research on magical creatures. I already knew that, It's not bad people who love magical creatures."

The enthusiastic and emotional Hagrid seemed a bit cute in contrast. Charlotte looked up at Hagrid who was still tall even when he was sitting down, and said with a smile: "Then you must not be a bad person, and you also like magical creatures."

"Haha." Hagrid stood up, picked up the boiling teapot, and poured water into it, "I've always liked magical creatures, and many creatures in the Forbidden Forest are my friends. Well, except for unicorns, they Don't really like me getting close, but they're beautiful."

Hagrid made Charlotte a cup of hot tea.

Charlotte looked at her watch, it was nearly ten o'clock, and she took a sip of her tea.A warm feeling slid down from her tongue and into her stomach. She sighed and said, "It's getting late, shall we go to the Forbidden Forest?"

"Sure, let's go."

Hagrid quickly put on his coat with many pockets, filled it with various things, and took his little pink umbrella with him when he went out.Charlotte glanced at the small umbrella curiously. Although the giant Hagrid holding a pink umbrella looked a bit strange, she intuitively thought that the umbrella was not that simple.

"A hippogriff?" said Hagrid, as they walked.

"Correct."

After walking for about 5 minutes, Hagrid led her to the fence she was familiar with, where Bane took her to stay for a while that night.Hagrid stopped by the fence, and said with some embarrassment: "The Hippogriff is a very proud creature, do you need me to bring some of them over?"

"No, just take me into their territory." Charlotte said with a smile.In fact, she had already stepped over the railing and walked deeper into the forest.

Hagrid quickly followed.

After walking for a while, Charlotte saw Bain planing worms on the ground not far away.She shouted at Bane in surprise: "Bane!"

"Bane? Baine isn't here." Hagrid muttered suspiciously from behind.

Bain had already heard Charlotte's voice alertly, and when he looked up and saw Charlotte, he raised his front paws in surprise and croaked happily, then flapped his wings and rushed over quickly.Charlotte happily put down the box in her hand and opened her arms, but Hagrid's lips turned white with fright. He lifted Charlotte up and turned his back to Bain.

Bain stopped where he was in doubt, 【What is this gamekeeper doing? 】

Charlotte turned her head and said comfortingly, "Don't worry, Hagrid, Bane won't hurt me."

Hagrid just put Charlotte down, but he still used his mountain-like body to block between Charlotte and Bain. He said dryly, "Bain? You mean the hippopotamus?" Is the winged beast called Bain?" He looked back at the anxious Bain, swallowed, "If he just rushed over like this, you will die."

"Thank you, Hagrid." Charlotte thanked sincerely. In a situation that Hagrid thought was very dangerous just now, he would rather sacrifice himself to protect her, which moved her a little, "But Bain definitely Sure sure it won't hurt me." Charlotte used three affirmations in a row to express the credibility of the incident.

"Just watch, Hagrid." Charlotte walked around Hagrid with a smile, and opened her arms again.

Soon Bain slid into Charlotte's arms like a big dog, rubbing his soft head against Charlotte's cheek.Charlotte put her arms around Bane's neck, giggling.Behind her, Hagrid opened his mouth in surprise, as if he could swallow two eggs.

He opened his mouth and said softly, "It's amazing."

"Let's go, Hagrid." Charlotte picked up her suitcase and turned to Hagrid.

Then the guide became Charlotte. She walked beside Bain and led Hagrid into the Hippogriff's territory.Charlotte greeted the solid black hippogriff before setting down the box next to a large rock and taking out a stack of blank parchment and a pen from the box.

Charlotte turned to Hagrid as she checked the questions she had listed, and said, "Are you bored?"

"No, no." Hagrid shook his head. "I think it's very interesting. It's really amazing. I can come and go around such a dangerous creature as a Hippogriff." He said like a black beetle. His eyes sparkled, as if he had discovered something that particularly interested him.

"Then I shall begin."

Lost in her work, Charlotte began wandering around the various hippogriffs with her paper and pen, communicating with them.Whether it's because of Bane, who has always stood by her side like a warrior, or her status as a biological affinity, her work is going very smoothly.Sheet after sheet of parchment was filled by her and put back into the box.

Charlotte didn't stop until noon. She put away her things and stretched her stiff body.Hagrid was found sitting securely on the boulder waiting for her, his little pink umbrella resting against the side of his leg.

"Is it time for dinner?" Charlotte asked.

"Yes. I guess the students have finished their lunch." Hagrid said, "Come on, I'll take you to get something to eat."

"I heard that the lunch in the auditorium will be evacuated after the students leave?" Charlotte picked up the box and followed Hagrid's footsteps. Bain was still following her, and Charlotte turned sideways He rubbed Bain's neck hard, and said to him, "I'm going to eat first, and I'll come over in the afternoon."

Bain reluctantly rubbed Charlotte's cheek, turned and left.

"Still can't believe it." Hagrid smacked his lips. "You seem to be able to talk to them."

Soon they walked out of the Forbidden Forest and stepped over the railing. Charlotte saw that the castle ahead seemed to come to life. Various figures flashed in the corridor, and even various people in school uniform appeared on the lawn.Some of them are holding books, some are playing with each other, and some are talking and laughing loudly.Her gaze began to unconsciously look for familiar shadows inside.

Unexpectedly, just as she walked to Hagrid's cabin, a black figure rushed into her arms.

"Charle!"

A familiar voice rang in his ears. Charlotte looked at the red hair in front of her eyes, and helplessly raised her hand to rub the girl's head, "Lily, don't rush over like this every time, it's easy to fall."

Lily let go of her hand and took a few steps back, stuck out her tongue, and said playfully: "No, I will definitely do this as long as I see you!"

Charlotte saw Severus standing behind through Lily's shoulder, and he also raised the corners of his mouth slightly, looking at them with shining eyes.Charlotte raised her hand and said, "Severus." Severus came over and greeted Charlotte with a natural hug.

"Sev couldn't wait to pull me out just after eating, saying that you must have come. I didn't believe it at first, hey, I actually don't believe it now, I actually saw you at Hogwarts Shire, Shire, Shire, I'm not dreaming, am I?" Lily asked, tugging at Charlotte's arm.

"Yes, I didn't dream." Charlotte said helplessly.

"You wrote today, so I guess you'll be here early. You said it was a hippogriff, so it must be this way." Severus explained.

"So you know each other," Hagrid said afterward.

"Hello, Hagrid." Lily greeted Hagrid with her head tilted.

"Hello." Severus greeted briefly.

"Hello." Hagrid scratched his head, "It hasn't been so lively here for a long time. By the way, Charlotte hasn't eaten yet, why don't you wait here, and I'll go to the kitchen to get some food before coming over .”

Hagrid pushed open the door of his cabin and beckoned the three children to go in.

Lily said happily: "Okay, okay." Then she dragged Charlotte into Hagrid's room, and then moved the stool and sat at the table with ease. It seemed that it was not the first time she had come here.Severus, on the other hand, was a little more reserved, he scanned the house, and finally sat across from Charlotte.

Hagrid quickly brought out several cups and poured them tea.The water that was boiled in the morning was still boiling hot. In the steaming white steam, Hagrid left in a hurry after saying "you talk, I'll come as soon as I go".

Lily picked up a rock cake, put it by the fire and baked it, then broke off a bit and stuffed it into her mouth. While chewing the cake, she said inarticulately, "Is everything going well today?"

"You just had lunch," Severus said.

"Maybe I was too anxious just now, and I didn't eat enough." Lily said vaguely, "Hagrid's rock cakes are still good, but they are a bit hard, and they are better when baked and softened."

"Do you come here often?" Charlotte asked curiously.

"Not really." Lily swallowed the food in her mouth and took another sip of tea, "Before Christmas, I saw him dragging the big Christmas tree alone to decorate the auditorium, so I chatted with him curiously. He Although he looks scary, he has a very good heart. After the former gatekeeper left, Hagrid took care of the food in the owl shed, so occasionally I would come to inquire about Alex's food."

"Yes, Alex, and Crewe. I haven't seen them for a long time." Charlotte said with some nostalgia.

"Then after you finish eating, I'll take you to have a look." Lily said excitedly, "It's still a while before the afternoon class, isn't it, Sev?"

"En." Severus didn't care, as long as he was by Charlotte's side, he could go anywhere.

After a while, Hagrid came back panting with a plate of food.He watched Charlotte eat hamburgers and mashed potatoes, but he ate his rock cake next to him.Rock cakes, which were hard for Charlotte and the others, were as soft as freshly baked dough for Hagrid.

After Hagrid refused Charlotte's invitation to eat together, Charlotte quickly cleared the food on the plate (Lily also stuffed two small breads), and then the plate disappeared before her eyes.Lily stood up and said to Hagrid, "Hagrid, I'll take Charles to the owl house and I'll get her back before class starts."

"Okay, let's go," Hagrid said with a smile.

Lily pulled Charlotte out the door, followed by Severus.When going uphill, Charlotte always felt something prickly and burning on her back from behind, as if someone was watching them.She looked back, except for Hagrid's hut still standing down the slope, she didn't see any suspicious people.She scratched her head strangely, shook her head at Severus who was looking at her suspiciously, put the feeling behind her, followed Lily's footsteps, and walked towards Hogwarts Castle.

They made it all the way to the eighth floor, kept going up, and finally came to the owl shed on the top floor of the west tower.The shed was a round stone room with no glass windows around it, so even on a sunny day it looked a bit cold and drafty.Straw and owl droppings littered the floor, along with mouse and vole bones that the owls had spit out.On the perches that reach the very top of the tower, there are hundreds of owls of all kinds perched.

As soon as Charlotte came in, she was swollen by the chattering noise, and two owls flew down from the perches and landed directly on Charlotte's shoulders on both sides.

【summer! 】This is Crewe.

[Wow, Xia! 】This is Alex.

【Am I dreaming?I actually saw Xia at Hogwarts. 】 Crewe shouted loudly.

【No, it is impossible for me to have the same dream as you. 】 Alex cried excitedly.

"You are so welcome, Charles." Lily snorted softly to Alex, "Alex is much more affectionate to you than to me."

"Why are you jealous?" Charlotte glanced at Lily.

But soon the three found themselves surrounded by owls.Hundreds of owls all flew down below, and stood on the windowsill, crowding out the place of the perching owls on the bottom floor, just to get a close look at the girl that Crewe and Alex had been blowing for years.Being stared at by so many pairs of eyes, Charlotte's back felt a little chilly, she coughed twice, and said to the owls around, "Hello."

The owls chattered again, Charlotte held her forehead, and hurriedly walked outside the shed with the two owls and her two friends on her shoulders, smelling the fresh air outside, she breathed out, "It's so noisy inside, my head hurts."

"I just heard a bunch of birds chirping. I didn't pay attention to it before, but now I really find that there are all kinds of bird chirping." Lily also said helplessly lying on the railing of the stairs.

"It's getting late," Severus reminded.

"Indeed." Charlotte looked at her watch, "Let's go first. —Alex, Crewe, I will be at Hogwarts for a long time in the future. So you can come to me anytime ’” said Charlotte to the two owls on her shoulders.

After Alex and Crewe agreed, they flew back to the shed, and there was another louder noise inside.

Severus followed behind Lily and Charlotte, like a silent knight, guarding the two princesses who were having a good time talking, and occasionally when they asked questions, he would reply.He went all the way to the foyer, seeing Charlotte running away after leaving behind the words "You are going to be late, go to class, I still know how to get there", he let out a sigh of relief.

Lily secretly covered her mouth and laughed, "Don't look, I'm going to be late!"

Severus shot Lily sideways, then turned and walked towards the classroom.

Lily shrugged helplessly and ran upstairs.Lily, who has begun to understand, has long smelled the unusual aura between the two friends, but today the aura that exists between the two of them even if they are not talking makes Lily feel goosebumps all over her body, but she is very happy, She would love to see them come together.

The author has something to say:

Today's double update, Xia finally entered Hogwarts Liao
