[HP]Blue Soul

The next morning, Charlotte was dreaming that she was in a big forest, where the trees looked thick and old, as if they had grown for ten thousand years.A glittering silver lake was right in front of her, and Charlotte seemed to hear the sound of running water coming from there.

The surrounding ground is covered with intertwined tree vines, clusters of flowers bloom on the tree vines, and the tree vines even climbed up a statue, which is a beautiful female statue with pointed ears and a slight smile. Drooping eyes seem to be looking at the lake below her feet, and she is holding a jug in her hand, doing a pouring gesture, as if she is about to pour the contents of the jug into the lake.A long shiny thing swirls across the lake...

It's beautiful there, full of incomparable comfort and peace.

She wanted to go to the lake, but she was awakened by the sound of slamming the door, and she struggled to get up from the bed, her eyes were half-closed, her mouth was about to stick to the sky, she hated the damn thing that pulled her out of her dream the sound of.She's almost at the lake!

Then she heard a burst of shouting and cursing, and she could only hear a few words, "divorce", "no", "little monster", "bitch"... With a crisp applause and the sound of the door opening, everything The sound stopped abruptly.

Charlotte quickly put on her worn little slippers and ran downstairs quickly.On the last few steps, Charlotte saw the door that was closed yesterday, now opened, and Ava was standing by the door, rubbing her face.She heard the sound of Charlotte going downstairs, and turned her head to look at Charlotte.

What she saw made Charlotte's nose sour. Ava's hair was a bit messy. She should have put it in a bun, but it was half loose at this time. There was a trace of blood at the corner of her mouth, and her face was also a little red and swollen.She stretched out her hand to touch Ava's face, and asked softly, "Does it hurt?"

Ava laughed, "It doesn't hurt! I fought back!"

Charlotte looked through the open door, and it turned out to be a small living room, with some tables and chairs piled up inside, probably because it hadn't been cleaned for a long time, so it was dusty everywhere, and there was a fireplace by the wall, but There is no burning charcoal fire inside, and it looks a little dark.

And on the dirty carpet in the center of the living room, there was a fat man lying on his stomach, snoring loudly, his fat head was pressed on the ground, his face was distorted by the pressure, and there were several scars on his face, It seems that this is Ava's "counterattack".

Charlotte sneezed. She was choked by the strong smell of alcohol in the room. When Ava closed the door, the snoring sound was closed behind the door. Faint smell.

Charlotte sneezed again, and she suddenly felt cold.

"Charlie! You ran down with so little clothes on! Go up and get dressed!"

Only then did Charlotte realize that she was too anxious just now, and completely forgot that she was still wearing pajamas and skirts, no wonder she felt chilly all over.Ava took Charlotte upstairs and prepared a whole outfit for her.A whitish blue skirt, a thick blue sweater with some pilling, and the coat from yesterday.

Later, Charlotte learned that the underwear and sweater were all made for her by Ava, and Ava's hands are very skillful.

As expected, Ava made an extra portion for breakfast. It looks very good, just like the kind sold in bakeries, and it tastes very delicious, but the bacon is only a very thin slice...

"Your stepfather often comes back in the morning. When he wakes up, he will be more awake. I will talk to him when we come back from the hospital." Ava took the initiative to mention the fat man at the dinner table.

"Ah."

Charlotte put her head down and ate hard, she didn't even want to think of the fat man's face, it would make her lose her appetite.

After breakfast, Charlotte glanced at a clock on the right side of the kitchen door, which showed the time at 7:50. Below the clock was a wall calendar with January 1968 written in red on the number 1. A big red heart.

Charlotte touched the red heart, and heard Ava say next to her: "Yesterday was your birthday, I didn't expect such a terrible thing to happen to you. What time did you make an appointment with Mr. Snape? We have to Apologize to him, don't you?"

Charlotte slapped her head, she almost forgot about it. "I didn't make an appointment with him yesterday..." Then she ran to open the door and found a boy squatting in the corner, with a red nose protruding from the middle of his black hair.

"Severus!"

Severus looked up at the sound, his dark eyes were staring at Charlotte, his lips moved slightly, "You... When do you go to school?" In fact, he wanted to satirize the girl, she Let him wait for a long time, he came early, but he did not knock on the door.

He met the drunk fat man outside the door, and heard the rude curse that could not be blocked by the door, and he felt sympathetic with each other... This made him less able to bear to blame the girl.

"I'm sorry, Severus..." Charlotte looked at the squatting Severus apologetically.

"Little Mr. Snape!" Ava also saw Severus outside the door. Her hair had been rearranged, and her face seemed to have been treated, but it looked a little swollen.She beckoned Severus to the door, "Come in, little Mr. Snape."

As soon as Severus saw Ava, he stood up abruptly, probably because his legs were a little numb, and he staggered a bit before holding onto the wall to stabilize himself. When he heard Ava let him in, he just faltered, But he didn't move.

Charlotte stepped forward and dragged him into the door.Severus glared at her angrily, then lowered his head and looked at the ground, he was not good at communicating with elders, or communicating with everyone, Charlotte was an exception...

Ava was a little funny, she could see the red ear tips in the middle of the boy's black hair, she went back to the kitchen, and handed the packaged sandwich to Severus, "Little Mr Snape, this is what I made Yes, not particularly rich..."

Looking at the exquisite sandwich in his hand, he raised his head in doubt. He was a little confused by this sudden gift, although he did not eat anything this morning...

"I heard from Charlie that she made an appointment with you to go to school yesterday. But she fell down from upstairs yesterday. I am worried about her health. I want to take her to the hospital. So this is Charlotte's missed appointment. I hope little Mr. Snape won't blame Charlie."

Ava's sincere explanation and apology to Severus made Severus a little uncomfortable. He had only heard Irene's apology since he was a child, and her apology was like a gust of wind. but Ava's apology made him feel sincere... love... love for Charlotte...

He envied this kind of love...so envious that he wanted to escape...

Severus pursed his lips and said, "It's not a big deal...then I'll go first."

Charlotte followed the boy who turned his head to go out and said, "Tomorrow! I'll go to school with you tomorrow, okay?"

Severus just glanced at Charlotte, nodded, opened the door and left.Charlotte saw him stepping fast, walking towards the distance as if fleeing, his ill-fitting clothes stretched out his teeth and claws like a clown in the air, gradually engulfing that small body.

After going to the hospital, the doctor and Ava made it very clear that Charlotte had no problems at all, and was extremely healthy.Ava should have breathed a sigh of relief, but some doubts arose in her mind.The one next to her was indeed her daughter, but both her personality and her attitude towards people were completely different from before. She even felt absurdly that this was someone else pretending to be her daughter.But after thinking about it, she felt that she was thinking too much...

Maybe?Maybe it's the kind of power that Charlotte used to have when she was a kid?After returning home with this question in mind, Ava carefully checked the windows on the second floor. She found that on the small table next to the window on the second floor, several wine bottles she placed had cracks, and there were also some cracks on the wood edge of the windows. , looks like it was blown apart by some airflow.Ava has already spelled out a story in her mind. Charlotte's power broke out and threw her out of the window, and the consequence of that power burst was that Charlotte's eyes changed color and made her lost memory...

"Charlie, do you remember that you can float things?" At the small dining table at noon, Ava was still going to ask. Although her daughter couldn't remember it at all, if she had this ability, she must have , she was afraid that if this unstable ability led to even more terrible consequences in the end, she would definitely not be able to bear it.

"I don't even remember." Charlotte said helplessly, but wasn't the energy that made things levitate the magic that Severus had shown her before?So is it possible that she is also a wizard?She was a little excited, "I used to be able to levitate things?"

Ava replied: "Yes... When you were a child, when you cried, something would float to you... I think it might be this power that made your eyes change color. Can you still control this power now? ?”

Charlotte stretched out her hand, closed her eyes and felt it again. Apart from her cold hands, she couldn't feel anything else. She said in frustration, "I don't have that kind of strength anymore."

Ava was a little happy when she heard it. Without this kind of power that is easy to lose control, maybe Charlotte is safer. She poured Charlotte a glass of water and comforted: "It doesn't matter, God has closed a door for us. A door will open a window for us. And we will have a new life."

"Just like Mrs. Betty, she is very happy." Ava remembered the optimistic and happy old lady, "Mrs. Betty is the owner of a pet shop on the shopping street. I heard that she used to be a veterinarian. Her pets The business of the store is very good, she can often chat with good friends, and when she is free, she will go to London to see her son, and she can always be with animals."

Charlotte could tell that this Mrs. Betty was indeed Ava's good friend, because when Ava mentioned her, her tone was full of joy and admiration.

"She is a good person and has helped mom a lot." Ava patted Charlotte's head, "In a few days, mom will have to work at Mrs. Betty's. I want to be able to support us to live together. As long as..."

Just get away from that fat drunk man, Charlotte added mentally. "Can you really divorce that man?"

"Yes." Ava has been working hard for a divorce for more than a year. If Buddy Strange does not agree to an agreed divorce, she needs to go through legal channels, so every time she is abused, she will stay. Some evidence to serve as evidence in court. "At that time, I will take you to find another place to live, move out of Spider's End! Then change your surname back to Smith (Smith), and let everything here be a thing of the past!"

"Smith?" Charlotte wondered what this Smith was, but at the same time she thought, if she moved later, would she still be able to play with Severus?She didn't want to leave this only friend.She looked at the flowers still blooming in the vase on the table, and she immediately felt relieved. The shopping street Ava mentioned must not be far away. Even if she moved, as long as she was still under the same sky, she could always With Severus, and they have to go to school together, don't they!

"Yes, my name is Ava Smith. You wouldn't be named Strange if I hadn't been married to Barty when you were born."

"What about my biological father?"

"His name is Fairy Grant." Ava laughed when she said the name, "He didn't like his name before, because Fairy meant fairy, and his mother, that is, Your grandma thought he was going to be a girl, so she didn't want to change her name." She seemed to have thought of something good, she raised the corner of her mouth slightly, and looked far away, "We were childhood sweethearts, grew up together, and studied together...but Bad luck, your grandparents passed away early, and later he also passed away in an accident before you were born." So she had no choice but to marry the owner of the tavern where she was working at that time. trange. "Your dad loved you, Charlie, even before he got to see you. He had your name before you were born: Charlotte Fairy Grant, your middle name It's Fei Rui, he said you should be the little fairy."

Charlotte nodded. Perhaps it is not strange for her to think that her father is a cuddle maniac. Her father seems to love her very much. If he is still alive, he will definitely like to hug her.

"I have to go to Batty Strange in the afternoon, can you be at home alone?" Eva asked Charlotte who was still sitting upright after clearing the dining table.

Charlotte thought for a while and said, "Can I go to Severus? He's leaving school soon." They were a little late for their meal, and it was already 1 pm when they got back from the hospital.Then Ava stayed upstairs for a long time.

"Okay, I'll take you to wait for him. You definitely don't know how to get there." Ava has completely accepted the fact that her daughter has lost her memory.

"I really don't know. Thank you." Mom... Charlotte still couldn't say it.

In the end, Ava took Charlotte out of Spider's End, and saw Severus walking back beside a small abandoned park.Charlotte happily greeted him, "Severus!"

Ava smiled and followed her. She said "Hello, little Mr. Snape" to Severus first, and then said to Charlotte, "Charlie, I'll go first. Remember it's dark You have to go home before, okay?"

"Okay." Charlotte nodded heavily.

After Ava left, Charlotte happily said to Severus: "I saw the doctor today, and the doctor said I have nothing wrong with me!"

That's a big problem then, Severus thought.People who fell from the second floor without any injuries have problems no matter how they think about it, unless they are wizards, they may use their magic power to levitate themselves due to the crisis, and then they will not be injured.He went back yesterday and asked Irene how to determine whether a person is a wizard or not.Here's what Eileen put it: "It needs a detection magic, Severus. St. Mungo's will do that."

"Then will you?"

"No, I won't. Why, do you want to confirm who the wizard is?"

"No, I'm just curious."

Severus didn't tell Irene about Charlotte, but Irene gave him a St. Mungo's study guide, which mentioned some basic detection magic, and he saw that the book did some notes.It was Irene's handwriting, and he recognized it. Irene had wanted to work in St. Mungo's, but she had given up for love in the end.

What a fool.

"Severus! One more thing!" Charlotte jumped up, "Ava said, I used to be able to levitate things when I was a kid!" Then said lowly, "But now I can't."

Severus was leading Charlotte to his secret base.Passing through the dense bushes and bushes, they have reached the slope of the secret base.Severus stopped in his tracks, and asked sideways: "Many wizards have this kind of situation when they are young." He pursed his lips, thinking of what he saw in the guide book Irene gave, that the magical riots of young wizards, if serious If you don't, it will cause the magic power to dry up and become... Squib, "You may be a wizard, Charlotte."

"But I can't do it myself now!"

"Then... before, I used to be a wizard." Severus sighed and continued, "I didn't sleep last night and read a book, which said that the magic power of little wizards is unstable. The situation is likely to lead to a magic riot. A more serious magic riot will cause the little wizard to become...become..."

"Turn into what?"

"Squib."

Charlotte didn't know what a squib meant, but she had a gut feeling that it wasn't a particularly good word.She frowned suspiciously, "What's a squib?"

Severus pulled Charlotte quickly up the slope, then unloaded the small broken bag in his hand, and said, "A wizard without magic power." He didn't know much about squibs, and Irene's In those books, there is very little talk about this.But the fact that the wizard has no magic power made him feel incredible and terrible. He couldn't imagine what he would do if he didn't have magic power.

"Okay." Charlotte was a little indifferent. As Ava said, without these abilities, life still has to go on. Anyway, she has no magic power in her memory. "It's not a big problem. Ava said, When God closes a door for us, he will open a window for us. I think it's true..."

Severus admired Charlotte's optimism, but he still wanted to be more rigorous. There was a test spell for the little wizard of Magic Riot in that guidebook, through which he could see whether the little wizard's magic power was damaged and to what extent. .He's going to practice a bit.

"Wow, this place is awesome!" Charlotte exclaimed after seeing the appearance of the secret base.She looked around the big tree, on the one hand she could see the deep woods, on the other hand she could see the clear lake, on the other hand she could see the road and residential areas in the distance, and on the other hand she could see the forest hidden in the middle of the bushes. A small park with two swings alone.

Severus ignored her, took out the guide and wand from the bag, and then concentrated on reading the operating instructions on the guide, where Irene even made some notes, which made Severus a lot less exploring process.He said the incantation first, then shook his wand, and the tip of the wand slowly produced a milky white light.

Charlotte came back from the turn just in time to see this scene, she was stunned, the milky white light looked like a soft lamp was lit, and she knew very suddenly, this is magic, the stick , is the magic wand!Although there was no such thing as a wand in her memory.

"Come here," Severus said to Charlotte.He has tried this spell several times, and it is not troublesome to use, but the output of magic power required may be higher, and he does not know if his magic power can hold it.But he wants to try...

Charlotte walked up to Severus, watched him cast another spell, and a milky white light came out of the wand in his hand again, and the light escaped from the tip of the wand and entered her body quickly. body, and then her body began to produce colorful lights.

"Ah, failed." Severus regretted.

Charlotte saw Severus with pale lips and sweat on his forehead, leaning against the big tree as if he had lost his strength, she asked worriedly: "Are you okay? What failed?"

"I want to test it." Severus closed his eyes and calmed down, "But it failed, the magic power output requirement is too high, and my magic power is not enough." The 8-year-old little wizard's magic power was unstable, Nor did it grow enough to use difficult spells.He is not strong enough...

"Then there's no rush, didn't I say it. God will open the window for me..." Charlotte took out a handkerchief and wiped Severus' sweat.Looking at the thin boy in front of her, she suddenly had a feeling of looking at her younger brother, "You look like my younger brother, Severus."

"Brother?" Severus opened his eyes suddenly, frowning so much that he could kill a fly, "Miss Strange, I think, you should know, we are about the same age."

"I'm 8 years old."

"I am also 8 years old."

"My birthday is January 1! Just yesterday!"

Severus was surprised that the girl had the same birthday as him, "Me too. It was January 1th."

Charlotte jumped up. "We're both on January 1th! What a coincidence, isn't it!"

Severus laughed softly. It was indeed a great coincidence. On January 1th, not only was there an extra wizard in the world, but he also met a girl who was willing to be his friend, a strange and lovely girl. girl.

"You're smiling! You should be smiling more!" Charlotte looked at Severus happily. The boy's face had been stern since she saw him, and now he finally smiled. He laughed It looks very cute, "Also! Don't call me Miss Strange, my mother said that when she gets divorced, I will change my surname to Smith. My name is Charlotte Fairy Smith, you know?"

Severus sneered, "Little Fairy? Did you call it that yourself?"

"Hee hee hee, you can call me a little fairy." Charlotte ignored the boy's ridicule, and she liked the word "fairy" very much.

The happy two hours always passed quickly, Severus did not continue to practice the spell, but took out the guide and looked at it carefully, Charlotte was a little bored by the side, and took Severus to another A book of spells was flipped through.There are many spells in it that she can't understand, but the strange thing is that as long as she sees the effect of the spell, she can immediately think of what spell it is.

There were more strange things, but Charlotte didn't continue to struggle, because there were too many strange things, so she just didn't think about it and let nature take its course, wouldn't it be good!

That night she continued to have that dream... Everything in the dream was blurry, but she knew clearly that she was changing clothes, she could only feel some colors but couldn't see what the clothes looked like, she could clearly see Feeling that layer of touch, a soft white skirt, a gauze gown, a cloak that seems to flow out of the hand, and a metal brooch that buckles the cloak. From the blurred outline, it looks like a leaf……
