[HP]Blue Soul

Charlotte, who was full of anticipation, didn't know how many times she saw the marks she made on the tree.Even with Xiaobai leading the way, they still wandered around in the forest for several months, as if some barrier or magnetic field was disrupting their direction.

Charlotte is getting more and more desperate, but also more and more sure of one thing, there is a force preventing her from entering Raven Forest.

[This path must be right! 】Xiao Bai also didn't understand. She was entrenched by the door of the tent, looking out sadly, 【I just went back by myself and there was no problem at all. 】

Charlotte lay on the sofa and said despondently: "Maybe I do have some connection with Raven Forest, but it's about being expelled, otherwise how could I be blocked."

Xiaobai swam over, approached Charlotte, hissed comfortingly, 【Then I won't go, I'll stay in Fair Forest from now on, okay? 】

"You don't have to wrong yourself for me." Charlotte sat up and patted Xiaobai's head, "Since I really can't go in, it can only show that I really don't have any fate with Raven Forest. There is a saying in Huaguo , don't force, don't demand extravagantly, a twisted melon is not sweet. So I might as well give up."

It was Xiaobai who didn't understand this time, and her brain was still unable to understand Charlotte's way of speaking in rotation between the two languages.Still, she nodded in agreement.

"It's useless to hang around here anyway, why not change the direction of your efforts." Charlotte said with a sigh.

[Then what are you going to do? 】

"Go and see the group of dragons in the north? I've heard Wistar talk about dragons a lot before, and I want to see what a dragon looks like with my own eyes." Charlotte thought for a while and said.

[But the dragons in that group of dragons are so weird, they don't allow creatures of any other race to enter their territory.They are not afraid of me...]

"The identity of a natural affinity is useless?"

[I don't know about this, I haven't seen a natural affinity person other than you. 】

"Then go and try, if you can't get in, let's talk."

Charlotte and Xiaobai reached a consensus.That night, Charlotte sorted out the potion materials accumulated for several months, and prepared to let the stars be put in the hotel first.In addition, she took about dozens of photos, which also need to be sorted.

While she was writing the name of the magical creature on the back of the photo, the double-sided mirror became hot again. Charlotte quickly took out the double-sided mirror from her pocket, and after a while, Lily's face appeared on the mirror.

She said excitedly: "Charles! Good news! Penny invited me to her wedding!"

"Is the time set?" Charlotte was also very happy.

"Well, when I graduated in June, I told her that I'm staying at your house, so she called and invited us this morning." Lily cupped her face and said, "Does this mean that she has forgiven the time we met?" something wrong?"

"Isn't that a great thing?" Charlotte said with a smile, although she still felt that Penny's hurdle could not be passed so easily.

"It's really a good thing, alas." Lily sighed suddenly, "It's just that she doesn't want to invite me to be a bridesmaid. This is my wish since I was a child. Fork told me that as long as I participate in the most important moment of Petunia's life, that's fine. , I think it makes sense, so I don't force it anymore. By the way, how did you find Xiaobai?"

"I found it, I found it. She's right here with me, do you want to see her?" Charlotte glanced at Xiao Bai who was lying beside the sofa, which looked like a big pile of white crystals.

Lily jumped up over there, "Of course!"

"But you have to be mentally prepared in advance." Charlotte raised her eyebrows and said to Lily, "It might surprise you."

Charlotte took the double-sided mirror to Xiaobai's side, so that Lily could see Xiaobai's appearance clearly.If this giant snake appeared on the road, it would probably scare people half to death, but if it was a wizard, it would be different.

For example, Severus, if it was him, he would definitely want to arrest Xiaobai and study it to see if it could be used as a potion material.Charlotte shook her head, thinking of him again.

Lily over there has already screamed, "Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh"!" Her voice was unbelievable, but there was no fear, "Last time I saw her she was still the size wrapped around her wrists! "

Lily's scream woke up Xiaobai, she raised her head to look at the surprise in Charlotte's hand, because snakes generally have bad eyesight, it put its whole head in front of the mirror, Nobuko tentatively Touched the mirror.She hissed suspiciously, 【There's that red-haired chick in here?Is she locked in there? 】

Charlotte moved the mirror away a bit and caught a glimpse of Lily squatting on the sofa in the distance.Charlotte guessed she leaned the double-sided mirror against the sofa.

"It's not locked in, it's just a communication magic, just like... just like a phone, but you can see the other person's face." Charlotte explained to Xiaobai, and then she said to Lily, "You Why did you run so far? Xiaobai can go over the double-sided mirror and eat you."

Lily snorted twice, "Everyone will be startled when she approaches suddenly, this is my normal reaction." She went back to the mirror, "Since you found a Xiaobai, when are you going to come back? Penny 9 month to get married."

"What time is it now?" Charlotte asked, "Staying in the forest, I don't know how many months it is."

"My God, how do you live your life? Today is July 7th." Lily said speechlessly.

"There's not much time left." Charlotte said with a headache. The trip she had just planned to explore the dragon seemed to be impossible. "Then I will go back these days."

[Stop going to see the dragon group? 】Xiaobai hissed aggrievedly.

"I'll be back when Petunia's wedding is over." Charlotte stroked Xiaobai's head and comforted her in a low voice.

"Then I'll wait for you to come back, and we can go shopping for a dress together. Although you can't be a bridesmaid, you still have to have the proper etiquette. You can't go wearing a wizard robe, right?" Lily pouted.

"Of course." Charlotte said with a smile, "However, we can be regarded as people on Petunia's side. We still have to have the proper etiquette, and the place has to be maintained. Besides, you don't want to take Potter with you, do you?" ?”

"No, I'll die of guilt if I mess up Petunia's wedding with him." Lily said with a sigh, "He's not bad, but he's impulsive and always does things without thinking about it."

Charlotte snorted noncommittally. "Then see you in a few days."

After disconnecting from Lily, Charlotte let Xiaobai wrap her around her. Anyone who saw this scene would probably be scared to death.Xiaobai put his head on Charlotte's shoulder, and hissed, 【Maybe I won't see you again? 】

"Didn't you say that I will come back?" Charlotte was a little unsteady under the heavy weight. She lifted Xiaobai's body with all her strength and sat on the sofa. "I will stay here with you more Two days, okay?

——Thanks for her strange power.

【All right. 】Xiaobai reluctantly rubbed Charlotte's cheek.

After staying in the forest for another two days, Charlotte put away the tent platform and prepared to leave Fir Forest.This time Charlotte behaved well, and when Xiaobai was still around, she summoned Xingxing, and asked Xingxing to take her back to the hotel by Apparating.

The multiple apparitions were still too much for Charlotte, so she rested in the hotel for another night before embarking on the road back to England the next day.

Godric's Hollow was no different from usual, but when she appeared in the yard of her manor, she found several people sitting on the always empty porch.

Lily and James are sitting on the swing chair, holding hands and looking at the same book, and on the round table on the left, Sirius is playing wizard chess with Remus, and the little Peter is sitting behind Remus, Looking nervously at the chessboard.It was as if the soldier who had just been beheaded was himself.

"Charle!" Lily, who was the first to notice Charlotte's return, had already stood up, and James staggered and almost fell to the ground.

Following Lily's movements, everyone in the yard looked at Charlotte.Xing Xing felt a little uncomfortable, but he stood in front of Charlotte and saluted in a very housekeeping manner, "Welcome the guests."

Although it was a bit strange for someone who had just returned to say this, it was not wrong, after all, the owner of this house was indeed Charlotte.And James and these people are just guests.

"Excuse me." Remus saluted first.

Sirius just stood up and didn't pay much attention to the stars. It seemed that he didn't have a big opinion of the house-elves.And James returned the salute silently and a little unhappy, because Lily had left him and rushed towards Charlotte.

Lily's habit that has lasted for many years seems to be irreversible.Charlotte, holding Lily in her arms, thought helplessly.

After Charlotte piled up all the things he had brought back into the study, the people on the porch all returned to the living room.Still according to the strange distribution, Lily and James were leaning together, Sirius was sitting on half of the sofa, Remus was leaning against Sirius, and Peter was sitting in the corner by himself.

Charlotte sighed, it can be said that a person with Peter's personality became friends with the gentle Remus because of Remus's personality, but how on earth did he become friends with James and Sirius? It made Charlotte unable to understand.

Seeing Charlotte sitting down, Lily immediately abandoned James and sat beside Charlotte. She said, "How is it? Did you encounter any interesting things in the forest?"

"What other interesting things can you see in the double-sided mirror?" Charlotte said with a smile.

"That would be too boring, except for the trees, they all look the same." Lily pouted and said, "How did Xiaobai grow so big, tell me again."

"Who is Xiaobai?" James interjected unwillingly.

"Charles' little snake." Lily replied immediately.

"Snake?" Sirius frowned.

"It's terrible," said Peter very quietly.

"Yes, my little white snake. But it's not too small now, she's as thick as your neck." Charlotte looked at Sirius viciously, her gaze flickering on his neck.

Sirius shivered, turned up his collar, and began to mutter something.Charlotte couldn't hear what he said, but she could roughly guess that it wasn't a good thing.

Seeing Sirius being intimidated by herself, Charlotte felt happy, and she continued to answer Lily's question, "It should be something in the Raven Forest that made her grow again. And she is more active in that forest than here." I'm no longer as drowsy as before."

"Riven Forest? Is there really a Raven Forest?" Lily's eyes widened.

"Yes, but—" Charlotte sighed, "But there is something invisible blocking me from going in, even if Xiaobai leads the way."

"Is it so strange?" Lily frowned, but then she smiled again, "But it's not a loss, at least you know that the Riven Forest really exists, my elf princess."

James and Sirius laughed at the same time.

"Fork, board, what are you laughing at?" Lily glared at them displeasedly.

"Board?" It was Charlotte's turn to smile this time.

"That's right, the nickname I gave Sirius." Lily said seriously without finding any problems.

Sirius gritted his teeth, "Padfoot, thank you!"

Charlotte had already covered her mouth, her eyes curled into a smile, "What about Remus and Peter? What do you call them?"

Remus and Peter, who hadn't expected to be called, looked at Charlotte, and Peter even clutched the hem of his clothes uncomfortably.

"Remus is Moonface, so I call him Moon. Peter is Wormtail, so I call him Worm." Lily said proudly.

Those two are pretty normal then, Charlotte thought. "Thank you for calling me Charles instead of some weird nickname." Charlotte said softly to Lily with two fingers covering her mouth.

"Strange? I think it's okay." Lily said with a wrinkled face, "What do you think? A fork?"

"Okay, great. I really like that title, and so does Padfoot. Right, Padfoot?" James frowned at Sirius.

Sirius nodded reluctantly, then started cooing to Remus next to him.Peter listened with his ears open, but made no comment.James has clinged to Lily's side, whispering to her.

In such an atmosphere, Charlotte suddenly felt lonely. She touched the moon bell in her pocket and shook it gently.The crisp bell sounded, and there was even an echo.

echo?Charlotte stood up abruptly.

This startled Lily next to her, she raised her head and asked, "What's the matter, Charles?"

Before Charlotte could answer Lily's words, her mind was already occupied by the sound of another bell, and she rushed out of the living room and onto the porch.The porch was empty, only the swing benches trembled slightly in the wind.

Xing Xing was tending the garden in the flowerbed, when he saw Charlotte running out anxiously, he asked, "Is Miss Lottie looking for something?"

Charlotte shook her head in despair, paused for a few seconds, and still didn't want to give up hope and asked Xingxing: "Mr. Butler, have you seen anyone coming?"

"Star didn't see anyone, Miss Lottie," replied Star, slapping her ears.

Lily who came out held Charlotte's shoulder, "Charle?"

"It's nothing." Charlotte said to Lily, forcing a smile, "I may be hallucinating. Go back, it's okay."

After speaking, Charlotte took Lily back to the living room. What they didn't see was that the half-closed door was blown open slightly by the wind...

In the next few days, Charlotte first went to sell the potion ingredients brought back from Fir Forest, and then took Lily to a department store in London.After the death of the Evans couple, Lily had no source of income, so she also learned from Severus to sell some potions to earn income.

They went to a mid-priced gown shop and bought a pair of low-key but meaningful dresses that would neither steal the bride's show nor look shabby.It's just that the price is relatively high in the store, which makes Lili, who is bleeding profusely, cry out heartache.

Because the collar of the dress is not high, Charlotte secretly bought two necklaces to match the dress. The style of the necklaces is also very low-key and unobtrusive but just right.

Because Charlotte gave it to Lily in the name of an early Christmas gift, Lily, who didn't know the real price of the necklace, happily gave Charlotte a hug.

Then they went to pick out a wedding present for Petunia.Two must-have bronzing wedding cards, two expensive bottles of some-year-old red wine (a gift from Charlotte), and a set of delicate glass goblets (a gift from Lily).

Penny's wedding day is fast approaching.Because they were not bridesmaids, Charlotte and Lily went directly to the wedding scene, which was a manor outside London.The grass was already filled with tables and chairs, and many men in suits and leather shoes and women who were competing for beauty gathered to chat.

Charlotte and Lily found a seat and sat down.Lily was a little excited, and she said with tears in her eyes: "Penny told me about the wedding she was looking forward to when she was very young. At that time, we didn't have such a big gap."

Charlotte patted Lily on the shoulder reassuringly. Lily wiped her tears and said, "I don't know who will hand her over to Vernon."

Vernon Dursley, who Petunia is going to marry.He was tall and burly, a bit fat in Charlotte's opinion, and he was a junior executive in his company, so many people who came to the wedding were their company's superiors and employees.

"They must have already made arrangements." Charlotte said, "What we have to do is to send them our blessings sincerely, isn't it?" Lily nodded, "So don't cry, be happy."

The wedding began soon, and the person who brought Petunia to the priest looked a little like Vernon Dursley, and it should be one of his elders.Under the auspices of the priest, they said their vows to each other, exchanged rings and kissed each other.

After the wedding ceremony, there is a photo session.Lily and Charlotte just stood in the corner, frozen in this photo.Petunia had seen Lily and Charlotte a long time ago, but her attitude was a little cold.

After the reception started, Charlotte and Lily found a corner table and sat down.Charlotte put a piece of cake in front of Lily, "Don't be sad, at least she didn't refuse us to take pictures together, didn't she?"

"I thought I would stand by her side, such an important moment." Lily poked the cake on the plate with a fork, and soon the cake became riddled with holes.

"She was cold to me today too." Charlotte sighed.She really didn't know why, Penny called her often before.

"I think..." the fork in Lily's hand stopped, "Maybe I answered the phone when she called you. Her tone was not quite right at that time, but I didn't realize it, and I was still thinking about it." Glad to be invited to her wedding. Ciel, she doesn't like the wizarding world, so she doesn't like me, and she doesn't like you who come into contact with me."

"But I've already figured it out. Fork told me that since Petunia doesn't like the wizarding world, she can only get farther and farther away from me. In the future, we will live in the wizarding world. So just let nature take its course."

Lily pushed the poked mess of the cake aside, poured herself a glass of red wine, and drank it all in one gulp.Charlotte sighed, Lily didn't look like she was thinking about it.

"The next thing I think about it." Lily said with red eyes, "defeat Voldemort and avenge my parents. I know that the bridge collapsed was done by Death Eaters, and they are carrying out evil attacks everywhere. Defeating him can protect more people, right? And Sev, and you can get Sev back, right?"

Charlotte, who saw that Lily was a little drunk, hurriedly responded, "Yes, it should be—"

"You said that the collapse of the bridge was done by wizards?"

A voice from behind the two interrupted Charlotte.Lily seemed to wake up all of a sudden, and stared at Petunia who was still wearing a wedding dress with wide eyes.

"I knew it... I knew it..." Petunia's mood was not right, she looked at Lily angrily with red eyes, "Wizards are monsters! They are the gods of death, right? They bring death to people. She shook her head and said, "Sooner or later, it will lead you to death. Charlotte, you will fall with me. I hope I will never see you again."

After Penny finished speaking, she carried the skirt of her wedding dress and ran away without stopping.Lily was left with her mouth open, not knowing what to say.Charlotte stood up and wiped the tears that kept rolling down Lily's cheeks, giving her a comforting hug.

"Didn't you see it? Lily, you should have known this would end a long time ago."

After the wedding, Charlotte returned to Godric's Hollow with Lily, who was devastated, and handed her over to James, who looked worried.At this time, what Lily needs is not her company, but her lover.

Staying in Godric's Hollow until October, making sure Lily has indeed moved on from Penny's wedding, Charlotte is packing again for the dragons north of Filwood.

Before leaving, Lily said: "I'm going out to perform missions, so I can't contact you often. But you have to remember to take good care of yourself, and I will double mirror you whenever I have time."

Before leaving, Charlotte still shook her moon bell unwillingly, but this time she did not hear the "echo".With this regret and loss, Charlotte came to Fair Forest again.

Xiao Bai seemed to be waiting at the edge of the forest. Charlotte had just stepped into the forest, and she slapped towards Charlotte like a silver tide.This time, Charlotte was not frightened by Xiaobai, but opened her arms, letting Xiaobai's jade-like torso wrap around her.

【summer!You are so late!A long time has passed! 】Xiao Bai hissed unhappily.

"Thanks to my strength, you are no longer a little snake, and ordinary people can be crushed to death by you." Charlotte raised Xiaobai's torso, and it took two hands to lift it up.

Xiaobai climbed down dejectedly, 【I just miss Xia so much.How long can you stay this time? 】

"I don't know, how long can I stay?" Charlotte said with a smile.

[Then I will take you to find the dragon! 】Xiaobai is very happy, maybe she thinks that Charlotte can be here with her for the rest of her life.
