[HP]Blue Soul

When forgetting to sleep and eat for the dissertation, Charlotte wondered countless times why she couldn't save the Felicity Elixir until this time.Maybe after drinking the Bliss Elixir, she will be able to write freely and write like a god!

After I revised the second draft, it was already June.During this period of time, she never fell into that kind of boundless thoughts again, nor did she have the strange feeling of her soul leaving her body.Infinite hopes had already arisen in her heart: She is all right!won't die!

It's true that she hasn't had a soul stabilizer for a long time.Not only that, but her strength and speed have all recovered. Every time she gets anxious writing a thesis, she will go to the dense forest in Godric's Hollow to exercise. Fortunately, her body memory is still there, and she can pick it up again. Her fighting skills are not too difficult.

Charlotte collected the latest revised second draft and put it in a box.She had made an appointment with Professor Kettleburn through Beard two days before, and he was free all day Thursday.It happened to be the OWLs exam again, and Charlotte thought she could have lunch with Severus and Lily at noon, and encourage them to take the next exam.

Charlotte grabbed a handful of floo powder and threw it into the burning fireplace. When the fire turned yellow-green, she poked her head in and called "Hogwarts Headmaster's Office", and immediately saw the familiar man through the flames. Inside the headmaster's office, she sees Dumbledore sitting at his desk.So she shouted at Dumbledore: "Professor Dumbledore, is it convenient for me to go there now?"

"Of course, the guide just happened to be here." Dumbledore said with a smile.

Although Charlotte has repeated countless times that she does not need a guide, Dumbledore also insists that this ancient castle is full of dangers, and she is easily injured without magical power.

Charlotte looked to the side, but was blocked by the table, so she simply stood in the fire, and soon she reached the principal's office.Standing by the fireplace, she saw clearly who the guide Professor Dumbledore was talking about—Merva McGonagall, the vice-principal of Hogwarts School, and the dean of Gryffindor College.

"Hello, I'm Charlotte Smith." Charlotte hurriedly bowed to Professor McGonagall, because no matter what she heard from Lily or what she felt now, Professor McGonagall's serious aura It made her feel so stressed.

"Hi, I'm Minerva McGonagall, you can call me Professor McGonagall."

"Minerva, please take her to the office of Silvanos (Professor Kettleburn's Christian name)."

Following Professor McGonagall up the familiar spiral staircase, Charlotte can now stand firmly on it without getting dizzy.Coming out of the entrance of the gargoyle, Charlotte looked out through the glass window in the corridor. The sun was just right, the breeze was blowing, and the weather was very good.

The whole school was quiet, because almost all the students were taking exams, and there was no noise from the campus at all.The only sound in the corridor was the tapping of Professor McGonagall's round-heeled shoes.

The atmosphere was a bit awkward, unlike when Hagrid was the guide, they always talked and laughed, and she could hear Hagrid talking about many interesting experiences.And Professor McGonagall has a cold and serious face, as if he will catch you in the next second and make you stand as a punishment.To sum it up, she thinks it's the teacher's aura, which she only experienced when she was in elementary school.

Just around the corner, Charlotte suddenly heard someone singing, probably meaning:

"La la la, the extremely quiet Hogwarts is just right for me to play, smash this vase, lose that painting, and then hide in the armor, waiting for the little wizards to come, appear under their noses, and put They scare the flowers, la la la, la la la."

"Peves!" Professor McGonagall angrily turned a corner.Charlotte quickly followed.

With a "crash", the vase was still broken, and the fragments splashed all over the floor, leaving only a single wooden shelf leaning against the wall.When Peeves saw Professor McGonagall, he restrained his smug expression a little bit, but when he was about to make a face at her, he saw Charlotte behind Professor McGonagall. He immediately covered his face and said All of a sudden it disappeared.

Professor McGonagall frowned and looked at Peeves, then at Charlotte, and finally pulled out his wand helplessly, and said a spell, and soon the fragments on the ground fluttered one after another, slowly gathered together, and recovered It became a perfect vase.

Charlotte exclaimed, Professor McGonagall really deserves to be a master of transfiguration, and her structural ability is really amazing.When she visited Mrs. Bagshot several times, Mrs. Bagshot mentioned Professor McGonagall, mostly in compliments.

"You are really good." Charlotte said sincerely.

Professor McGonagall realized that this was not a compliment. While she was still thinking about Peeves' weird behavior towards Charlotte, she was also happy with Charlotte's compliment.

—No one is displeased when he receives a sincere compliment.

"You are also very good. You have achieved a lot at a young age. I heard Professor Kettleburn praise you all the time." Professor McGonagall said as he walked.

When she came out of the principal's office, she took short steps, which should be to take care of Charlotte's rhythm, not to be careless like Hagrid, who had to trot along.

"No way. I've heard from Lily that her dean is just, strict and outstanding, and Mrs. Bagshot always praises you, so it's my honor to talk to you today."

"Mrs. Bagshot?" Professor McGonagall was more surprised by Mrs. Bagshot than she valued her favorite student Lily Evans.

"Yes, she has the habit of reading "Transfiguration Today". You often help revise the articles in it, right? And she also said that you are a very rare Animagus in this century."

"I didn't expect Mrs. Bagshot to like Transfiguration Today."

"By the way, what is your Animagus?" Charlotte asked in a whisper.

"Cat." Professor McGonagall didn't hesitate, "I'm a registered Animagus, so it's not a secret. And I often use the Animagus form as a starting point to teach the third graders about Animagus. Nimagus lore."

"I used to know about Animagus, it seems that all Animagus can only be ordinary animals?"

"Yes."

"Aren't there magical creatures?"

"No. Not now, but I can't judge it arbitrarily. Because the world is so big and the field of transfiguration is so wide, there may be different situations."

Charlotte thought of the woman in the dream who could turn into a dragon. No doubt it must be a kind of Animagus transformation. The Animagus of that woman turned out to be an ancient and disappeared magical creature dragon.

Soon they went to the fifth floor together. The corridors on the fifth floor were covered with high armor, which was very imposing.And the portraits hanging on the wall were whispering, and some even gathered together for a tea party.

After passing the quiet library, they came to the second door at the end of the corridor, where Professor Kettleburn's office was located.Although I don't know why Professor Kettleburn's office is so high on the fifth floor, Professor Kettleburn seems to enjoy his office very much.

Pushing open the door, Professor Kettleburn was sitting on a small sofa, drinking tea and reading the newspaper, which had a big "Daily Prophet" written on it.

"Then I'll go first, and I'll take you to lunch at 12 o'clock." Professor McGonagall said, "Sivanos, I'll leave Charlotte to you."

"Thank you, Minerva.—Come, Charlotte, come here," said Professor Kettleburn cheerfully. "I have tea ready for you."

Professor McGonagall quickly disappeared at the end of the corridor. Charlotte sat next to Professor Kettleburn, took out her second draft from her bag, and placed it in front of Professor Kettleburn.

"Look first, tell me if there's anything wrong,"

"Okay. I'll take a look."

Time passed minute by minute, and Charlotte looked nervously at Professor Kettleburn's face. He sometimes admired and sometimes frowned, nodded and shook his head for a while, which made Charlotte's heart flutter.

"It's not off topic, it's written according to the previous outline, and it's been refined a lot, which is good. But there are still some things that need to be improved." Professor Kettleburn said.

"Which places are there?" Charlotte asked.

Professor Kettleburn told her bit by bit, whether it was some redundant descriptions or unclear data, he found out for Charlotte one by one.

Charlotte keeps writing and taking notes. When she encounters a point where she feels that she needs to stick to her point of view, she will argue for it and discuss it with Professor Kettleburn.

During this back and forth, Professor Kettleburn refilled tea 4 times, and they were only halfway through the thesis.At this time, Professor McGonagall knocked on the door of the office.

"It's twelve o'clock," said Professor McGonagall, standing by the door.

"Then I'll go eat first, Professor Kettleburn." Charlotte collected the papers and parchments spread out on the table, and put them on the seat where she was sitting. "Can I come back at 2 o'clock in the afternoon?" ?”

"Okay, let's go."

Along with Professor McGonagall, Charlotte happily hopped along, because she really benefited a lot from discussing her studies with Professor Kettleburn.Professor Kettleburn is like an encyclopedia of magical creatures, and nothing can stop him.

At this point in time, the entire castle seemed to come to life, and the voices of students could be heard from all directions. Some people seemed to have no food, so they ran straight to the fifth floor and plunged into the library.

Charlotte also began to look downstairs, hoping to find a familiar figure.The sun was shining outside, and the grass was shining in the sun. Many students had already rushed to the grass and the lake happily.

Looking at the Hogwarts uniforms, an idea suddenly appeared in Charlotte's head. She clutched her robe, took a deep breath to slow down her rapid heartbeat, and said to Professor McGonagall, "Professor McGonagall, your Transfiguration has always been very powerful, can you turn my robe into a Hogwarts school uniform?"

"Yes, yes. But...why?"

"I don't think it's that special, Professor McGonagall." Charlotte said with her head down.

"Pleasure to assist you."

Charlotte didn't see Professor McGonagall's pity look, she jumped up happily when she heard that Professor McGonagall agreed to her request.

Professor McGonagall pulled out her wand and chanted a spell silently. Soon, the pure black wizard robe on her body slowly changed into a red-piped Gryffindor uniform, even the Gryffindor badge and gold red on the chest. Alternating ties are not spared.

Charlotte touched the Gryffindor badge with every pattern clearly on her chest, and exclaimed, "Professor McGonagall, this is exactly the same as the real thing."

"After being the dean for so many years, these are firmly in my mind." Professor McGonagall said with a smile, "How do you feel now?"

"Great." Charlotte puffed out her chest, "I feel like I'm a member of Hogwarts now."

Charlotte missed Professor McGonagall's pitiful eyes again.

Soon they went down to the first floor and came to the foyer. Professor McGonagall looked at the jeweled hourglass on the side of the gate and sighed slightly.Slytherin was far ahead, Ravenclaw clung to it, and Gryffindor was missing.

Charlotte heard Professor McGonagall muttering: "I don't know when I will be able to hold the Academy Cup, and I still want to stand up straight in front of Horace."

Charlotte covered her mouth amusedly, she didn't expect Professor McGonagall to have such a cute side.But soon the voices of several students came from her ears:

"Potter of Gryffindor is at it again."

"Who else is unlucky?"

"Who else could it be, Snape of Slytherin? They don't pinch each other when they meet. Do you want to join in the fun?"

"Go and have a look, my brain is froze during the exam, I just need to change my mind."

Charlotte frowned and walked quickly to the two students in Hufflepuff uniforms, grabbed the arm of one of the boys, and asked, "Where are the Potter and Snape you mentioned?"

The boy who was frightened by the menacing Charlotte said tremblingly: "By the black lake, there is a beech tree. It is very conspicuous and easy to find."

Charlotte quickly dropped her arm, turned to Professor McGonagall and said, "Professor McGonagall, I have to go and see." The two boys who didn't know why opened their mouths wide in shock, watching Charlotte disappear in front of them like a gust of wind.

Professor McGonagall frowned, and followed Charlotte out of the hall.

The place where the accident happened was really easy to find, because there was already a crowd of people there, and in the gap between those people, Charlotte quickly found Severus, who was lying on the ground struggling, his mouth seemed to be Spit something.

Charlotte was furious, she had never seen Severus in such a mess before, and he was surrounded by a group of people.It only took her about a second before she appeared in the middle of the crowd.

She stood in front of Severus, glared at the two boys who had opened their mouths in surprise, and shouted angrily, "What are you trying to do!"

"Why are you?" James Potter was very surprised.

"Charlotte?" Lily, who was attracted by the crowd, also looked at the angry Charlotte in surprise, that was the Charlotte she had never seen before, and then she saw Severer who was still spitting pink soap bubbles on the ground Si, she looked at James Potter angrily, "You are bullying Sev again!"

"How are you, Evans?" James Potter suddenly became friendly, trying to show his depth and maturity.

"Let go of him," Lily said disgustedly, "how did he mess with you again?"

"Well," said James Potter, pretending to be pondering the point, "it's mainly because of his existence, you understand me?"

Many of the surrounding students laughed loudly, Sirius Black and the little man beside him laughed too, but Lily didn't laugh, and Charlotte didn't laugh either.

"Lily, can you help Sif break the spell?" Charlotte said coldly.

Lily pursed her lips and said, "I'll try."

The effect of the spell cast by James Potter is gradually weakening.Severus was already able to move a little bit, he moved a bit, looked at the familiar back in front of him, and suddenly felt uncomfortable.He didn't want to show his embarrassing side in front of the girl he cared about the most.

"Help me get my wand back," Severus said to Lily with difficulty.

Lily nodded, retrieved the wand and handed it to Severus, and at the same time she tried to use "Spell Stop" to help Severus break the spell.

"He's getting up, Prong," Sirius Black reminded.

James Potter raised his wand anxiously.

"Put down your wands." Charlotte clenched her fists and said loudly, "I say! Put down! Your! Wands!"

"What? You want to help the snotlings?" James Potter exclaimed displeased.

"Oh, snotling." Charlotte clenched her fists tighter and tighter, and she felt a fire rushing directly to her forehead, which made her almost unable to restrain herself, wanting to destroy and revenge.

She gritted her teeth, and jumped out word by word: "Arrogant and conceited bastard, I'll show you who is the snot-nosed man."

The people around hadn't realized what happened. The people at James Potter's position had disappeared, and something fell into the black lake one after another, making a huge "plop" sound, and the side beside it was splashed. The water girls were screaming in terror.

"What's the matter! What's the matter here!" Professor McGonagall, who had finally come here, hadn't figured out the situation, and the two Hufflepuff boys following her were also looking around curiously, and seemed to want to know what happened. What.

Professor McGonagall was quickly attracted by Severus who was still spitting out bubbles on the ground. She frowned and asked, "Clean it up? Who would use it on someone else's mouth?"

"Professor McGonagall, it's James Potter." Lily, who failed to help Severus undo the curse, cried anxiously, "Professor, can you undo it for him?"

Professor McGonagall waved the spell, and the spell on Severus was instantly released. He struggled to get up from the ground, clenched his wand angrily, and his whole body exuded a manic breath.

"Where's James Potter?" asked Professor McGonagall.

"It's in the Black Lake, Professor." Someone in the crowd said loudly.

Sure enough, there were three people swimming towards the shore in the black lake. A huge octopus floated up and dived behind them, as if using its tentacles to send the three people ashore.Soon they were standing wet on the bank.

"This?" Professor McGonagall looked surprised.

"I threw it." Charlotte gritted her teeth and said with a sideways face. She didn't dare to look into Professor McGonagall's eyes, although she felt that she had done nothing wrong. "You should pay for bullying people."

"Let's spread out, there is an exam in the afternoon." Professor McGonagall said loudly to the students around him, "And you, follow me."

The crowd dispersed quickly, and Charlotte could only catch the phrases "Did you see the girl's movements clearly" and "When did Gryffindor have a girl like this?"

With a stiff face, Charlotte firmly held Severus, who had a cold face and said nothing, and followed Professor McGonagall towards the castle. Pingzheng was standing there with his mouth slightly open, as if hesitating whether to follow.

Along the way, Professor McGonagall was striding forward, not as considerate to Charlotte as before, and it could be seen that she was really angry.Soon they came to Professor McGonagall's office on the second floor. The office was not too big, and seven people crowded in, causing the inside to be crowded.

"Now! Tell me what happened." Professor McGonagall pinched the cuff of his robe, and sternly scanned the children with their heads down from above the glasses.

But they all remained silent, "Mr. Peruni, tell me!" The pointy-nosed boy with mouse-gray hair trembled, "Tell me honestly!" Professor McGonagall snapped.

Peruni looked at the two boys next to him, as if he wanted to get some support from them, but the two boys didn't look at him, but lowered their heads not knowing what they were thinking.Seeing this, Peruni began to tell Professor McGonagall about the matter intermittently in a small voice like a mouse.

He wasn't lying, because Charlotte felt Severus' hand getting heavier, and she squeezed Severus' hand reassuringly, even though she was going crazy with what happened in her absence.Of course, she wasn't the only one who was mad, even Professor McGonagall was shaking with anger.

"I have never been ashamed of Gryffindor as I am now." Professor McGonagall's voice was full of anger, "I am very disappointed! In the public, attacking classmates for no reason! Mr. Potter, and you , Mr. Black, I thought you were very fond of the honor of Gryffindor. As for Mr. Peruni, although you did not participate, you did not prevent this evil deed. The three of you will each deduct 50 points."

"Fifty points?" James Potter raised his voice, "What about her, she also threw us into the lake." He pointed to Charlotte.

"She's not from our school! And it's your fault!" said Professor McGonagall, snorting heavily through her long, pointed nose. "You don't have to tell me what I can do, fifty cents each! The behavior has caused a very bad influence! Besides, you will all be imprisoned! Well, you can go now."

The three of them walked away despondently with their heads down, and James Potter still gave Charlotte a look.

"Mr. Snape, I'm sorry." Professor McGonagall sighed, "And Charlotte, I let you see such a bad thing. I hope you can know that Hogwarts is not like this , Gryffindor has always been united and friendly."

"It's not your job to apologize," Severus said coldly.

"I know they don't represent Gryffindor, Lily is fine." Charlotte pursed her lips.

"I'm sorry, too, Charles, Sev, Professor McGonagall." Lily said despondently, she felt that she hadn't played any role in the whole thing.

"I'll let them get the punishment they deserve." Professor McGonagall said solemnly, "It's getting late, and there are exams in the afternoon, so you should go back and prepare for them. OWLs exams are very important. Adjust your mentality and don't be fooled by this." Things affected, okay?"

Severus and the others nodded, turned and left, and Charlotte was about to follow. Professor McGonagall called out in time: "Charlotte, you haven't eaten yet."

Charlotte hesitated for a while. She glanced at Severus, who had empty eyes, and said to Professor McGonagall, "I'll have a few words with them and I'll be back soon."

"OK then."

Follow Severus and Lily out of Professor McGonagall's office.Seeing that the atmosphere was not quite right, Lily quickly slipped away.

Charlotte pulled Severus into a corner, looked into his empty and indifferent eyes and said, "Don't be sad, I know you don't want me to see you in a mess, but I'm glad I was there today, I Protected you, just like you always protected me before."

The ice in Severus' eyes gradually melted, he pursed his mouth and looked at the serious girl with her head up, his heart at this moment was like being wrapped in hot lava, so warm that it was about to explode.

"You never have to hide anything in front of me, Sev." Charlotte sighed softly, "We grew up together, and I can see every change in you. You are smart and outstanding, I always want to Follow your footsteps."

"You've already passed me," Severus said, and now I'm chasing you, he thought to himself.

"Then let this matter go, okay? Didn't you keep telling me that the OWLs exam is very important? Isn't it just the first week? Take the exam well and try to get a good result. I want to celebrate for you." Xia Xia Lott smiled and said, "You won't let me down, will you?"

"No." Severus said softly, looking at the bright smiling face in front of him, and the sparkling blue eyes, something seemed to be churning in his heart.

He thanked Merlin for sending this girl to him on his birthday, accompanying him to grow up, always supporting him behind his back, and even willing to stand up to protect him.
