[HP]Blue Soul

After a week of rain, the weather finally cleared up. Charlotte desperately needed some sunshine, so she asked the stars to pile up the parchments on the round table on the porch.

Charlotte sat at the round table, enjoying the sunshine while listening to the stars pull the swearing goblins from the flowerbed fields.The pile of parchment was piled up, but Charlotte didn't move a single piece. Instead, she held the teacup with both hands, her fingers unconsciously touched the rim of the teacup, and her eyes were fixed on a tree in the corner of the yard.

What is so different about this ordinary tree?This is from a week ago.

The weather was gloomy at that time, and the dark clouds seemed to be pressing on the treetops, making people a little breathless.Charlotte was a little distracted by work, so she sat on the porch swing and calmed down.Charlotte habitually took out the moon bell and shook it, the crisp bell rang in her ears, but at the same time another dull bell rang from the direction of the tree in the corner.

Charlotte, with sharp ears, heard it immediately. She rushed to the side of the tree, and she could smell a faint bitterness at the tip of her nose, and then there was nothing there, as if it was her illusion just now.I looked around the tree carefully twice, and there was nothing but trees and grass around.Charlotte took out the bell and shook it again, but there was no response.

Charlotte sat under the tree dejectedly.The heavy rain that had been brewing for a long time poured down from the sky, and hit Charlotte on the head from the gaps in the branches and leaves.Amidst the pattering rain, she seemed to hear a vague sigh from above her head.Charlotte looked up, the rain was splashing on her face, blurring her vision, she seemed to see someone, but she didn't seem to see it.

Xingxing screamed and opened an umbrella and rushed towards Charlotte. The black umbrella blocked her view, and there was only the sound of rain hitting the umbrella in her ears, no bells or sighs.

Charlotte wiped the rain from her face, stood up with a sigh and followed the stars back to the house.Is it an illusion?Charlotte thought.

It must be an illusion... Charlotte regained consciousness from the memory, took a big sip of the coffee in her hand, the bitter taste burst out on the tip of her tongue, which made her mind much clearer.She patted her cheek and pulled herself together.Moved a third of the parchment to the front, and put it into the tedious finishing work.

Serious Charlotte always has no big concept of the passage of time, until the sun turns orange, the sunset climbs the sky, and Charlotte, whose vision is blocked, puts down the pen in his hand.

The sound of flapping wings came, and an owl brought a note in its mouth, threw it on Charlotte's table, and flew away quickly.

The handwriting on the note was crooked and familiar to Charlotte, and Hagrid's excitement was revealed between the lines, and his anticipation was about to jump out of the paper.The note reads:

Charlotte!You actually went to study dragons!I will keep the dragon scale you gave me, no, I will find a glass cabinet and put it in it for offering!Isn't the dragon beautiful, isn't it charming, isn't it awesome? !I really want to see a dragon, if I can, I want to raise one!Lily said you still have some pictures of dragons?Is it convenient for me to check it out next weekend?your Hagrid.

Hagrid loves dragons, something Charlotte already knew.But what surprised her was another piece of information revealed in the note.After graduation, Lily has been working on missions in the Order of the Phoenix. Hagrid can get news from Lily, which only means that Hagrid is also a member of the Order of the Phoenix.

But Hagrid is not strictly speaking a regular wizard.Because he was expelled from Hogwarts in his third year, and his wand was broken.What's more, a pure person like Hagrid is particularly easy to be stereotyped, otherwise Charlotte would not know about Hagrid's experience.

If Hagrid could contribute to the Order of the Phoenix, what about her?Could she also... maybe ask Hagrid then, Charlotte thought uncertainly.

With such a mood, Charlotte quickly wrote a reply letter to Hagrid, "You are always welcome, Hagrid. Your Charlotte."

After summoning Beard and letting this elegant gentleman deliver the note, Charlotte moved back the finished part of the manuscript in the afterglow of the setting sun, and Xingxing consciously moved the rest.

Time passed in a flash, and the weekend agreed with Hagrid arrived soon.But until 11 o'clock in the morning, Charlotte failed to wait for Hagrid's visit, and instead received a call from Lily's double-sided mirror.

"Charles! Hagrid is here with me, come to my house for lunch! (Hagrid yells: photo photo) Did you hear that? Hagrid asked you to bring the photo. Hurry up!"

It was so noisy up there that it didn't sound like it was just Hagrid's voice.Charlotte greeted the stars with doubts, and went to Potter Manor.

Hagrid wasn't the only one in Potter Manor.The foursome were there, as were the Longbottoms, and Professors Dumbledore and McGonagall, and a lot of people Charlotte didn't know.

Because there were too many people, the table for lunch was placed in the yard, and a lot of food was already placed on it.The women, Lily and Alice, were busy putting plates on the table, and the men were helping to set the goblets and saucers.

Hagrid's huge body was squatting beside Dumbledore, still holding his little pink umbrella.As soon as he saw Charlotte, he stood up, his black beetle-like eyes were shining, and he rushed towards Charlotte impatiently.

"Charlotte! Photo, photo." Hagrid's voice was like thunder, and he immediately attracted the attention of everyone in the manor.Charlotte bowed a few times embarrassedly to everyone, and Hagrid carried him to Dumbledore's side like a chicken.

"Good afternoon, Charlotte." Dumbledore said with a smile, with mischievous lights in his eyes behind the glasses, "Hagrid has been talking about the photo for several days, let me see it too?"

"I remember that you have also studied dragons, right? The twelve uses of dragon blood? Have you seen few dragons?" Charlotte reluctantly took the album out of her purse and turned to the side of dragons.

Hagrid could not wait to squeeze over, covering Charlotte in a mountain-like shadow.Charlotte simply shoved the photo album into Hagrid's hand.The photo album was huge, but in Hagrid's hand it was as small as a little book.

"How big is this?" said Hagrid, pointing to one of the photos, which showed the chubby green dragon. "It's really round and cute! Hahaha."

Only Hagrid could describe such a large and dangerous creature as cute.

"It's about 25 to 26 feet tall. It's relatively small there. It likes to eat sheep." Charlotte said.

"What's the biggest one?" said a woman Charlotte didn't know, and when Charlotte looked at her, she held out her hand to Charlotte, "Marlene McKinnon, I also Very interested in dragons."

Charlotte shook hands with her and said, "Charlotte Smith." Then pointing to Markavill's photo in the album, he said, "He's the biggest one there, named Markavill, leader of the dragon group, tall 35 feet."

"Is he breathing fire?" Sirius also leaned over.

"I think it's obvious..." Charlotte stabbed, and Sirius gave Charlotte a displeased look.

"Then you are brave," said a man with dark gray hair.One of his eyes was covered by a black patch.

"You're not bad, Alastor." Hagrid said with a loud laugh. "Death Eaters are terrified when they hear your name."

"My name is Alastor Moody, little girl," said Moody, laughing.

"What are you all doing here?" A fat man with a hat came over curiously.

"Oh, Effias, can't you not wear your stupid hat? It makes you look like an idiot." Moody put his arm on Ephias' shoulder.

Effias shrugged his shoulders and pushed Moody's hand down, "Come on, wait until you become like me to see if you wear a hat or not." He stroked his mustache and hummed.

"Don't pile up there, come and eat." Lily and Alice Longbottom shouted together.

A group of people around Charlotte and Hagrid dispersed and sat down at the dining table one after another.Hagrid was still touching the photos reluctantly, not wanting to put the album down.Charlotte sighed helplessly, and patted him on the shoulder, "I'll look at it after dinner, then you can pick a photo and go."

"Really?" Hagrid looked at Charlotte happily.

"really."

He coaxed Hagrid to the dining table in a childlike tone, and he sat on the chair Lily specially prepared for him.Charlotte sat next to Lily, opposite Professor McGonagall and Professor Dumbledore.James, who was sitting between Sirius and Remus, probably didn't win the seat next to Lily, and even gave Charlotte a resentful look.

Charlotte shivered, shaking the goosebumps off her body.Charlotte leaned close to Lily's ear, and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "You didn't tell me it was a meeting of the Order of the Phoenix, am I right here?"

Lily also came over and whispered, "It's okay. With Hagrid's big speaker, no one in the Order of the Phoenix will know you."

Glancing at Hagrid who was sitting at the end of the table, occupying two seats by himself, Charlotte shook her head helplessly.She suddenly felt a little worried about the Order of the Phoenix.

When everyone was seated, there was an empty seat next to Dumbledore.

"Who else hasn't arrived?" James asked.

"Aberforth, he will come." Dumbledore said with a smile after glancing at Charlotte.

As soon as Dumbledore finished speaking, there was a "pop", and a tall and thin man appeared in the vortex.Charlotte was surprised to find that it was the strange owner of the Pig's Head Bar.

He glanced at the people at the table and murmured, "I hope I'm not too late." He frowned disapprovingly when he saw that only Dumbledore was vacant, but glanced at Charlotte. After that, he still walked to the empty seat and sat down.

As the two sat together, memories that Charlotte had left behind came to the fore.Mrs. Bagshot once mentioned the name Aberforth. He should be Dumbledore's younger brother, so they look so similar.And she's kind of like Ariana, the younger sister of the two of them, so it makes sense for her to get special treatment at the Hog's Head...

"It's full, so I don't need to give a speech like I did at Hogwarts, right?" Dumbledore said.Everyone else laughed. Almost everyone present had heard Dumbledore's speech, and they all said, "Go, go!"

During the meal, Charlotte was silent the whole time, while the others were talking and laughing while eating and drinking.A pair of brothers and Moody seem to have sex and have a drink.Hagrid kept drinking from the beginning, and his face turned red after a while, and he kept praising Charlotte, which made Charlotte want to bury his face in the plate in front of him.

The embarrassing meal was finally over.The witches and a few wizards with wives consciously used household magic to take the dishes to wash.Hagrid was still sitting in his original position, and it seemed that he was too drunk to talk easily, but Frank Longbottom quickly stuffed him with a bottle of anti-alcohol medicine, "Dude, drink this first, we have to have a meeting later. "

Hagrid downed the hangover medicine in one gulp, and soon he spoke more clearly, but his face was still flushed.He held Charlotte's photo album like a baby in his arms again.

"Guys, we just came up with a great idea, how about we take a picture while everyone is here?" Sirius said loudly after returning from the pile of people washing dishes.He was accompanied by James, Remus and Peter, and it seemed that they came up with the idea.

"Good idea," agreed Moody.

"It doesn't matter to us, we can do it." Brothers Gideon and Fabian said.

"Then take one." Dumbledore made a decision, he smiled and winked at Charlotte, "It just so happens that there is a ready-made photographer here. Charlotte, please."

Charlotte was slightly embarrassed. She didn't expect this to happen to her suddenly. She finally knew what the purpose of her participation in the Order of the Phoenix meeting was.Resignedly, she took out the magic camera from her purse and said, "Then come."

Because there were so many people, it took a long time for them to stand. Finally, when they were all standing, Charlotte stood back to ensure that they were all in the frame.After pressing the shutter, the photo slides out of the camera in no time.

People gathered around Charlotte, and Dumbledore took the photo that Charlotte handed him, and said with a smile, "It's a great shot, you can take a look."

Dumbledore circulated the photo to other people, and some people laughed when they saw it, and said: "I greeted you well, and I look energetic." Good, elegant!" Some people said: "I'm covered! No, look at me being chased away by the person in front (he poked the photo), haha, Alastor, look, you are almost squeezed to death."

They laughed and laughed, and Charlotte suddenly felt a little envious.Charlotte looked at Dumbledore, who was already outside the crowd, and felt that it might be better to ask Dumbledore directly than Hagrid about that matter.

She called Dumbledore aside, grabbed the hem of her clothes and asked nervously, "Professor Dumbledore, is there still a shortage of people in the Order of the Phoenix? I...I want to..."

Dumbledore was silent for a while before refusing: "Sorry, Charlotte."

"Why? Because I'm a Squib?" Charlotte frowned. "But I'm not an ordinary Squib. I can communicate with animals, and I have stronger strength and speed than ordinary people..."

"Charlotte." Dumbledore interrupted her, "You don't know how to spell, Charlotte, that's the point. The Death Eaters are cruel, and even an experienced Oro like Alastor would be injured. Not to mention you. Death Eaters are not as simple as you imagined, especially Tang... Voldemort, even I, may not be able to retreat from him. Your talent can continue to shine in the world of magical creatures, Phoenix Social is enough for us people."

Charlotte opened her mouth, but said nothing.Dumbledore gave her a serious and resolute verdict, and she understood that there was no room for negotiation on this matter.

Lily had been working hard for Severus, and she had nothing to do but wait, what a sad reality, Charlotte felt extremely uncomfortable.

When Charlotte returned to the crowd, Lily immediately stuffed a group photo into her hand, and she said with a smile: "Fork, they used the copy spell to copy a lot of photos, and everyone has them. You are a photographer, of course you have to have one too." open."

Charlotte looked at the person who smiled and greeted her in the photo, and let out a long breath.Now that she was rejected, what else could she do besides accept, she thought helplessly.

Charlotte left before everyone was about to start the meeting.Before leaving, she gave Hagrid a photo he wanted most, and accepted a grateful hug from Hagrid that took her breath away.

Back at her manor, Charlotte sat on the swing chair on the porch, kicked her feet, and let the swing swing.She leaned back in the chair and looked at the blue sky, the clouds gradually became the outline of her day and night thoughts.She murmured, "Sev, I can't do anything, Sev..."

There was another sigh that seemed to be absent along with the wind.

Work is the best way to numb your emotions. Charlotte, who is stuck in the work of sleepless nights, finally got out of the "self-waste" thinking temporarily.But soon, she knew what Dumbledore said was true, and it was extremely dangerous to fight against Death Eaters.

Marlene McKinnon, the woman who said she was also interested in dragons, was killed by Death Eaters two weeks after the photo was taken.And not only her, but her family was captured by Death Eaters as well.

When the Order of the Phoenix went to the rescue, Marlene McKinnon's family had all been tortured to death.This cast a shadow on everyone's heart, and also added more vigorous anger and fighting spirit.

The friction between the Death Eaters and the Order of the Phoenix has intensified.The matter of Marlene McKinnon became a massacre. The point of death eaters' knives turned temporarily to the members of the Order of the Phoenix. Their families became the targets of the Death Eaters' crazy revenge. All members' families were warned to reduce going out.

And Charlotte was also the one who was warned, and Lily repeatedly told her not to go out.In fact, Charlotte doesn't have any opportunity to go out, her thesis is enough for her to be busy.

But in mid-September, the visit of the blue bird made Charlotte think of going abroad.It sent a letter from Boshi, and Charlotte couldn't hold back her tears as soon as she opened it.

"Miss Xia, Zhan Xinjia. I thought a lot when I was dying. My regrets are gone, and my life is considered complete, but I haven't explained to my friends. I don't have many friends. Although we only met for a few months, little friend I am already a close friend here, so I still write this letter to say goodbye to you.

I have been carrying shackles since I was born, and I am thinking about the future every step of the way. If I worry too much, I will miss too much.But when I was in Longgu, because life and death were already decided, I let it go instead, and that became the most relaxing time for me. I am grateful for the company of friends during this time.

I have left your name with my family. If you come to Qingcheng when you are free, don't forget to be a guest.My little friend loves spicy food, the Bai family has the best cook in Qingcheng, if Bai Shi is demolished ahead of schedule, my son Bai Zhou will welcome him for me. "

Unexpectedly, Bai Shi's deadline will come so soon. Feng Hua is 33 years old, and he is about to bid farewell to the world.Charlotte wanted to go to his grave to have a look, so that she could live up to the title of best friend.

However, just as she was about to go abroad, Lily called her to Potter Manor.The group of four didn't go out on missions, and gathered around Lily.Sitting on the sofa, Lily was a little shocked and a little apprehensive.

"This is good news, although it's a bit inappropriate." Lily touched her belly and said, "Charles, I'm pregnant."

"Really...really?" Charlotte was caught off guard by the news.

"Really." Lily held Charlotte's hand and said with a smile, "I won't joke about this kind of thing. I said when I was a child, I will be the godmother when you have children, and you will be the godmother when I have children. , Now is the time to fulfill the promise, would you like to be his godmother?" Lily put Charlotte's hand on her stomach.

Charlotte's palm was a little hot, and a little life was being conceived under her palm, which made her feel weak, "Of course, of course I am willing." Charlotte said excitedly.

"Okay, okay, little Harry's godparents are here." James clapped his hands and said.

Charlotte asked, "Harry?"

Lily explained: "Fork can't wait to name the baby, the boy is called Harry, Harry James Potter (HarryJames Potter), he took it. The girl is called Charlene, Charlene James Potter (CharleneJames Potter) , I took it, how about it, it’s not bad.”

"Charlene didn't come by my name, did she?" Charlotte said with a smile.

"Isn't it?" James muttered jealously, "If I didn't fight for it, the middle name would have been robbed."

"Fork!" Lily glared at James, who closed his mouth aggrievedly.

"The baby's godfather?" Charlotte glanced at the three men sitting on the other side.The triumphant Sirius raised his chin and said, "It's me."

"That's too bad, little Charlene will be led astray." Charlotte said with regret.

Sirius jumped up immediately, "You!" His hair was almost standing on end.Charlotte smiled happily, and Lily also laughed and fell on Charlotte.Sometimes it's fun to tease a dog, Charlotte thought happily.

"Then what about your mission? Lily." Charlotte asked.

"Temporary stop." James said, "I have already asked Dumbledore for instructions, and he also agreed with Lily to suspend the mission. From today onwards, Lily will not go to the mission. After that, she will be at home, you can come and see her when you have time .”

"Yes, Charles, come and stay with me more, or I will definitely be bored to death." Lily said.

"Besides you, is anyone else going on a mission?" Charlotte frowned and asked, and the four men nodded in unison, "Are you sure you can let a pregnant woman stay alone in the manor?"

"Isn't there still you... and Mrs. Bagshot, I also asked her to come and see Lily often." James scratched his head and said.

"Mrs. Bagshot is getting old. Besides, I'm far away, how can I take care of her?" Charlotte pursed her lips.

"Why don't you move here, Charles." Lily said suddenly, her eyes sparkling with anticipation, "There are vacant rooms here to live in, and the study room can also be used for your research. In this way, you can still accompany me .”

James immediately responded, "Lily is right, why don't you just move here. It's more than one move, isn't it, Moonface."

Remus, who was suddenly named, could only nod his head.

"The prongs are right, it's inconvenient to live in two places. Anyway, you live alone, so it's nice to just be with Lily." Sirius said loudly.

Both Lily and Charlotte glared at Sirius, saying that he didn't like what he said.But even though it didn't please her, Charlotte thought it made sense. Anyway, she was single, so it was better to live with Lily, as it would be easier for her to take care of her.

And there is another possible benefit of changing the place, which is to reduce hallucinations. In the few months since returning from Dragon Valley, she has felt that there is something wrong with her ears countless times.

As for visiting Boshi's grave, Charlotte ultimately decided to wait until little Harry or little Charlene was born.
