[HP]Blue Soul

Since the Hippogriff thing came to an end (she didn't expect to get a large bonus for publishing a paper in the first edition), Charlotte had nothing to do, and she could still help when Severus was around. He handled potion ingredients, and the whole manor was empty after he left for school.

But after the weather warmed up, not only Xiaobai was more willing to move, but also the flowers in the flower garden began to bloom.They are well cared for by the stars, they are colorful and delicate, and the fragrance of flowers is blown around by the breeze, attracting the butterflies.

Sitting on the swing chair on the porch, Charlotte looked at the blooming flowers in the flowerbed, swinging comfortably.This is the rare good weather in a month, and Charlotte feels a little sleepy.But she dared not go to sleep, because it would be even more difficult not to sleep at night.

She had to find something for herself to do.What she wants to do now is definitely to study magical creatures, but she hasn't thought about what her next goal will be.Well, first of all, maybe she can make some scented tea, the flowers in the garden are blooming so well, they can't be wasted.

Just doing what she said, Charlotte picked some chamomile, which is a flower she also likes very much, representing strength in suffering and vitality in adversity.After pre-treatment, she spread a cloth on the lawn and left it in the sun to dry.

But the weather is not always sunny. When it is rainy, Charlotte will make some ingredients to make her scented tea taste better.She was going to make a lot, a can for Severus, with a mild taste; for Lily, a can with a sweeter taste, and for Hagrid, which could be similar to Lily's; for Mrs. Bagshot, a can with a slightly sour taste; A can of Professor Dumbledore, the taste should be extremely sweet; there are also Professor Kettleburn, Professor McGonagall, Gloria...

So busy, Charlotte didn't get these scented teas ready until mid-April.The others were slowly being posted, but Mrs. Bagshot's had to be delivered herself.

Charlotte came to Mrs. Bagshot's house with the biscuits she made.Because there was no appointment in advance, Charlotte also had a coincidence mentality.Most of the time, Mrs. Bagshot sat in her booth and passed the time with various publications.

Fortunately, Mrs. Bagshot was also in the pavilion this time, but unfortunately, Mrs. Bagshot already had a visitor.Charlotte was about to turn around and leave first, but was stopped by Mrs. Bagshot: "Charlotte? Come and sit, come and sit."

Charlotte sat next to Mrs. Bagshot with her biscuits and scented tea. Opposite her was an aristocratic lady in her 50s. She seemed to be well-bred, but she brought a very warm A smile, which made Charlotte feel less distanced.

"Euphemia, this is Shaffery Smith!" Mrs. Bagshot introduced with high spirits.

Charlotte smiled awkwardly. She suddenly wondered if the source of the Daily Prophet's news was Mrs. Bagshot. She suddenly understood what happened to Professor Dumbledore.

"So it's you!" Euphemia's eyes lit up. "Mrs. Bagshot was still talking about you just now. You are really amazing. You are 16 years old and you are already a magical biologist!"

"I'm 17 years old, and I'm not really a magical biologist." Charlotte whispered.

"That's the same age as my son, and he's also 17. Hey, you've already achieved such high achievements at the same age, and my son is still dawdling in school." Euphemia said with a sigh.

Charlotte apologizes for a second for being someone else's child again.

"James is not fooling around. Isn't his grades very good? Last summer, he showed me his report card. There were several O's." Mrs. Bagshot said.

"That was to prepare for the OWLs exam, so I cramped my feet temporarily. He is not stupid, and he can think about everything. He only got an A in potions, and I am embarrassed to say it. Our Potter family After all, potions are famous."

James?Porter?Charlotte was a little horrified, and she hoped it wasn't who she thought it was.

"That's right, the Potion Shampoo from the Potters is quite good now, even I use it." Mrs. Bagshot said with a smile, "But young people, given some time to grow up, they will become great. I think James is very smart, and his friend is called... called..."

Mrs. Bagshot didn't think about it for a long time, and Euphemia hurriedly said: "Siris Black, he said he is a child of the Black family. Well, our family is not familiar with that family, but that child Sirius is also a good child." , I always don’t get along well with my family, and I’ve lived in my house since last summer.”

Well, Charlotte is absolutely sure that she has met the annoying Potter's mother, and their family lives in Godric's Hollow?

"Charlotte, do you know James? Your little friend Lily is also from Gryffindor. She should be a classmate with James, right?" Mrs. Bagshot asked with a smile.

"Should... probably, I haven't heard her mention it much." Charlotte lied.She rubbed her nose uncomfortably. She couldn't say that they didn't like Potter very much.But Charlotte was a little curious, how a kind mother like Euphemia raised such a domineering and arrogant son.

"I guess I don't want to mention it, but James is very obedient at home, but he's probably domineering outside." Euphemia said, "Oh, blame Fremont and I for pampering him too much. A bit better. But his nature is not bad, but he lacks a bit of tempering."

Charlotte suddenly had a clue. Isn't James Potter a typical spoiled young master? He really lacked the beatings in life. If she could, she wouldn't mind giving him a physical beating.

"Then it will be a test to lose the family business to him," said Mrs. Bagshot.

"It's hopeless. He wants to be an Oro, and the family property we have saved is enough for him to live in the future. We are not going to force him, let him do what he likes." Euphemia said with a sigh.

Charlotte pouted in her heart, how could James Potter He De have such parents, he was really blessed and didn't know his blessings, and he bullied his classmates everywhere.

"Oro is not bad, haha. He wanted to be a knight of justice since he was a child, and he still has this ideal. It's great if he can stick to it." Mrs. Bagshot said with a smile.

"I don't worry about that much," said Euphemia, "I just hope I can see him marry and have children while I'm alive."

"James is a handsome boy, and there is no need to worry about that." Mrs. Bagshot laughed.

Charlotte pouted and said nothing. She noticed that Potter was interested in Lily last year by the Black Lake in Hogwarts.If Potter wanted to hang himself from a tree, then Euphemia's wish would be ruined. Lily didn't like the arrogant Potter very much.

After three rounds of tea, the time passed in a flash.

Mrs. Bagshot was still chatting with Euphemia all over the place. Charlotte drank a little too much tea and ran into Mrs. Bagshot's bathroom to solve the "urgent matter". Mrs. Saut alone.

Mrs. Bagshot looked down the slope and said, "Euphemia is a good boy. She has come to visit me whenever she has time these years. Otherwise, I am a lonely old woman who doesn't know how to pass the time. Now there is you, Xia Lotte, I haven't talked to you much today, how are you?"

"I just came to accompany you, and it doesn't have to be chatting. It's also very interesting to listen to you. By the way, I came here specially to deliver scented tea, and I made it myself." Charlotte took out the scented tea from the bag , placed in front of Mrs. Bagshot.

Mrs. Bagshot said appreciatively: "Then I will definitely try it now." Soon, Mrs. Bagshot brewed a pot, because it was the slightly sour taste she liked, and Mrs. Bagshot drank two cups before drinking. Stopping, she said: "It tastes really good, I like it, thank you Charlotte."

"As long as you like it."

After returning from Mrs. Bagshot, Charlotte once again fell into a situation with nothing to do. She could only keep reading the books in the study to increase her knowledge.

But within half a month, Charlotte received a note from Mrs. Bagshot, which said: "Come with me to the Potter family's funeral tomorrow morning."

The Potters' funeral?The Potters here seem to be only James Potter's family. Euphemia was still in good spirits before, and she didn't look like she was sick. Who could it be from his family?When she followed Mrs. Bagshot to the Potters' estate, she knew the answer—it was the Potters who died, and they suffered an accident while they were out together.

Without paying attention, James Potter became a loner just like her, Severus, and Lily.

Potter Manor is actually not far from Dumbledore's house, just walk on the left road for about 10 minutes.The manor is not big, and the house is also very old. It looks like it has passed through centuries, but the house is not dilapidated, but is very well preserved.

When Charlotte and Mrs. Bagshot arrived at the manor, there were already many people in the courtyard. They were all wearing black wizard robes and pointed black wizard hats. Say something to the boy.

It was James Potter, his face seemed to have just experienced wind and frost, as cold and hard as ice.He seemed to have matured a lot, like a child who had grown into an adult overnight.He hid all his sadness under the cold mask, leaving only the messy hair lying limply on his head, no longer its former glory.His glasses also seemed to be fogged up, but he just didn't want to wipe them off.

Standing behind him were two tall boys, Sirius Black and Remus Lupin, both of whom looked at James Potter with concern.

Mrs. Bagshot led Charlotte to James Potter.James Potter took Mrs. Bagshot's hand as he had done countless times, and Mrs. Bagshot patted the back of James Potter's hand and said, "Sorry, James."

James Potter nodded tremblingly.

Mrs. Bagshot sighed and walked away. Charlotte pursed her lips and said softly, "My condolences."

James Potter looked at Charlotte with a slightly strange look, and finally said softly: "Thank you." Behind him, Remus Lupine and Sirius Black also looked at her with strange looks.

Charlotte ignored her, bowed her head slightly, and walked towards Mrs. Bagshot, who was wiping her tears. "The person who came to talk to me the day before yesterday, why suddenly..." Mrs. Bagshot was a little unsteady, and Charlotte hurried up to support her.Mrs. Bagshot added, "It's just poor little James left."

After the funeral began, everyone began to say their final farewells to the coffin of the Potters. Charlotte helped Mrs. Bagshot and left flowers on the coffin of the Potters.

The sky was a bit gloomy, and the sun was hiding behind thick clouds, unwilling to show up all the time.It wasn't until the second half of the funeral that the sun showed half of his face.

The final part of the funeral took place at Godric's Hollow, and Mrs Bagshot was shaking, so Charlotte sent her home first.When Charlotte arrived at the cemetery, he just ran into wizards who had placed confusion spells and Muggle expulsion spells around, because too many people gathered here, afraid of being discovered by the Muggles in the valley.

The wizards had no priests, only a serious-looking elder who read a eulogy at the grave.In the solemn and solemn environment, the Potters slept underground forever.After the funeral, everyone patted James Potter on the shoulder as if they had made an appointment, and disappeared into the cemetery using Apparition.

After the crowd cleared, Charlotte was about to go back when James Potter called to her, with Sirius Black and Remus Lupine standing beside him.Together they came to the grove behind the church.

James Potter cut to the chase: "You'd better leave Severus Snape."

Charlotte frowned.

"My parents' death was not an accident, it was the Death Eaters, because my family is a pure-blood family but did not stand on their side." James Potter said bitterly, "I am at odds with the Death Eaters, And Severus Snape, was one of them."

"What's a Death Eater?" Charlotte asked.

"A group of lunatics." Sirius Black said, "They are doing crazy things under the banner of pure blood. Severus Snape has long been the default Death Eater, and his insides have long been rotten. .”

"Shut up!" Charlotte said angrily, "Why do you say that, you never got to know him."

"I think I understand enough. The president of the Black Arts Society, a Death Eater reservist, has long been helping Voldemort. He will join the Death Eaters as soon as he graduates and become Voldemort's right-hand man." Sirius Black said coldly.

Charlotte was speechless, she always knew that Severus was working for a strong man he admired, but she didn't believe that Severus was working for a tiger.

James Potter sneered, "Sirius, tell her what the Death Eaters are doing now."

"Created chaos in the Muggle world and killed a lot of Muggles, Lily Evans' parents were killed in the Death Eater attack. They also seem to want to do other earth-shattering things, like banishing Muggle wizards? Anyway? They're all crazy, and they're getting more and more brutal," Sirius Black said.

"How do you know so clearly?" Charlotte's heart was full of turmoil. Lily's parents were killed by a wizard attack.

"Because my family is full of Death Eaters." Sirius Black roared angrily, like an irrepressible volcano about to erupt, "I've had enough, they preach pure blood at home every day, ignorantly worship Following a madman, even Regulus... I saw them torture a Muggle once, I couldn't stand it, I left the family. They were too dirty, I couldn't stand the dirty."

Torturing Muggles... Charlotte's heart skipped a beat, and what Allen said before moving in flashed in her mind, "Recently I got news that they like to torture and kill Muggles." That was an important reason for her decision to move out of Cokeworth. The reason, what is the relationship between the Death Eaters and those who killed Allen?

"There's no way they'll stop, and they'll keep doing it until all Muggle wizards are expelled from the wizarding world, not even just expelled. Evans is also a Muggle wizard, isn't he? And you..." James Potter explain.

"Sev is different from them." Charlotte clenched her fists.

"What's the difference, he was helping the Black Arts gang in school," Sirius Black said.

"That's not what he did." Charlotte said, "He didn't take part in anything that hurt others. Instead, it was you, who cast spells on your classmates at will, and did bullying in the name of justice."

"You!" Sirius Black clenched his fists.

Remus Lupine shook Sirius Black's shoulders, shaking his head.

"That's my ignorance, I will change it," James Potter said firmly, "but not the Death Eaters, they will continue, hurting people and letting people die is their pleasure, Severus Sney If Pu is always going to be a Death Eater, then he will be too sooner or later."

"No, he won't, I believe him," said Charlotte.

"Don't let your trust be cheap," said James Porter.

"Then you just wait for the day you regret it," said Sirius Black.

James Potter and Sirius Black turned their heads and left, Charlotte's fists clenched tighter and tighter, she was a little flustered, not because she didn't trust Severus, but because she was worried about Severus. How could Severus be alone among a group of lunatics?

"Are you all right?" Remus Lupin said worriedly, his voice as gentle as ever.

Charlotte pursed her lips and looked at Remus Lupine for a moment, then turned and went home without answering him.Walking faster and faster along the way, Charlotte opened the courtyard door and was swept into the living room like the wind. She lay on the sofa and buried her face in the sofa.

She didn't turn over to lie face up until she was out of breath.The chandelier on the ceiling was still hanging there, just like Charlotte's heart, no matter what, she trusted Severus and was willing to stand behind him.

But if Severus did become a Death Eater, what would happen between them?If the ultimate goal of the Death Eaters is to clear Muggle wizards from the wizarding world, then Charlotte herself is one of them. After all, she is not only Muggle-born, but also a Squib.

She suddenly felt that the road ahead was covered by a fog, which made her unable to find her way.
