[HP]Blue Soul

Walking on the road of Hogsmeade, Qiubai felt the atmosphere more condensed than ever.Because it was getting dark, there was no one on the road.The chilly wind blew up a few leaves on the street, swirling and drifting past Qiubai.

When passing by Honey Duke, a notice was posted on the gate, which read:

Attention patrons by order from the Ministry of Magic: Until further notice, dementors will patrol the streets of Hogsmeade after sunset each day.This was done purely for the safety of the residents of Hogsmeade, and will be canceled once Sirius Black is captured again.Customers are expected to complete their purchases before evening.

Qiubai frowned, why was Sirius Black wanted?Never met Sirius at Harry's place, but now he's a wanted man.Pursing her lips, Qiubai carefully read the announcement twice to make sure she had read it correctly, and then left in confusion.

In her impression, although Sirius's arrogant and unruly behavior made her somewhat annoying, he still had a heart of justice, so why would he need to be hunted down by dementors.What the hell did he do?With such doubts, Qiubai walked to the pig's head bar.

The signboard of the Pig's Head Bar was still tattered, and the door of the bar was not closed, leaving a small gap.Qiu Bai pushed open the creaking door, and the people in the hoods all looked at him.Qiubai closed the door calmly, walked to the bar, and said to the frowning Aberforth, "Are there any rooms available?"

Aberforth nodded, and led Qiubai upstairs without saying a word.It was still the room she lived in here for the first time, which made Qiubai feel more intimate, but she was also very disappointed because there was no Ellen next door.

With the foreshadowing of Dumbledore and Severus, Qiubai no longer felt sad for Aberforth's indifference.After Aberforth collected the money for the accommodation and left, Qiubai sat on the bed wrapped in a robe and counted what was left in the storage bracelet: a luxury tent with nothing inside, two bottles of the latest version of wolf Poison potions, a jade ring that can prevent spells, and some clothes that can't keep out the cold.

Qiubai was glad that she had brought some Galleons, otherwise she would have to worry about her own survival.The weather in the UK will be very cold in October, and the few clothes that Qiu Bai brought must not be enough, not to mention her extremely conspicuous white robe.She tugged at the robe that had expired for the transfiguration technique, thinking that she might have to find time to go to a tailor store to buy some clothes to keep out the cold, and to change out of her extremely conspicuous white robe.

Putting two more warming spells on himself, Qiubai, who had no strength in his body, collapsed on the bed.There is still a faint mutton smell lingering on the tip of the nose, but it is much better than the bar on the first floor.Her mind was dizzy, everything today was too sudden, and what she had been looking forward to for seven or eight years would suddenly come, and she hadn't been able to recover from that emotion.

Qiubai rubbed his temples and closed his eyes.In this quiet atmosphere, her tired brain couldn't stop functioning.She recalled the experience from the headmaster's office to the outside of Hogsmeade over and over again, recalling Severus' movements and expressions.

From what she knew of Severus, the blank eyes were clearly the result of Occlumency.This shows that Severus is not indifferent to her.Maybe he was just not sure, not sure if he was the one he knew.Then I need to tell him that she is the Charlotte who grew up with him, the Charlotte who has been waiting for him.

Maybe at that time, she will be able to throw herself into the hug she still misses to the fullest, and Qiubai is already looking forward to it.With such anticipation, the tired and weak Qiubai fell asleep.

The next day, Qiubai woke up from the cold.The warming spell wore off early, and she simply forgot to cover herself with the quilt.After shaking violently for a few times, Qiu Bai stretched out her stiff hands and cast two warming spells on herself. After a while, she finally recovered from the cold.

Transforming his white robe again, Qiu Bai put on the hood and hurried out.If she remembered correctly, there was a wizard clothing store across from Gloria's Sniff Pet Shop.There were no dementors during the day, but the streets were still deserted.Going all the way to the door of "Xixiu Pet Shop", Qiubai didn't see a few people.

Looking through the glass window of "Sniffing Pet Shop", Qiu Bai saw that there was no one there, only a few civet cats resting on the soft cushion in front of the window.Seeing no one he wanted to see, Qiubai turned his head and entered the "Fengya Wizard Clothing Store" diagonally opposite the pet shop.

The store is very large, and it not only has all kinds of wizard costumes, but also all kinds of strange socks.Qiubai bought a lot of clothes and socks inside.Among them, there is a kind of sock that will scream loudly when it is too smelly, Qiubai finds it particularly interesting.After shopping, Qiubai stuffed the things into her storage bracelet one by one under the surprised eyes of the owner, Mrs. Natalie.

Turning around and walking out of the clothing store, Qiubai stood at the door of the pet store for a few more minutes.Finally, she decided to open the door and go in to have a look.Entering the pet shop, a wave of warm air rippling around her body, the blazing fire behind the shop was reflected in Qiu Bai's eyes, coating her blue eyes with an orange light.

The jingling bell on the door lasted for more than a minute before someone finally came out from the door behind the store.It was a tall, strong man.His image is very similar to Roy, but his face looks like Gloria. It seems that this is their son Charles.

"Do you need anything?" Charles smiled honestly behind the counter.

"What's there?" Qiubai asked.

"Pharmaceuticals for pet healing, food for pets, maybe you can buy pets if you want. We have tame pets like civet cats and cattails here." Charles introduced and pointed to Qiubai.

"Don't you have a sniff?" Qiu Bai laughed.

"No." Charles scratched his head, "My mother likes to sniff, so that's why I took the name of the store. But there is no snuff here..."

"Ah, that's a pity." Qiubai looked behind the dark door, "Isn't your mother in the shop?"

"She's getting old, and she's at home now." Charles' smile was restrained, and he was a little guarded.

"I like Xixiu very much, so I think we can have some common language with her." Qiubai tried his best to show his peace, "Since she is not here, please say hello to her for me."

After nodding to Charles, Qiubai left the shop.Standing on the street, Qiubai looked back at the pet shop that hadn't changed much from ten years ago, and heaved a long sigh. This might be called changing things and changing people.

This is true for wizards with long life spans, let alone Muggles.Qiubai suddenly had an idea in her heart, she wanted to go back to Cokeworth, to see Davis's family, to see Tammy and the others.I also want to see Mrs. Betty, I wonder if her body is still strong.

But she couldn't leave Hogsmeade for the time being, because she didn't know when Dumbledore would find her, and she had to wait at any time.Unexpectedly, it was not until the end of September that Dumbledore finally arrived late. He used his phoenix patron saint to send a message to Qiu Bai, and set the meeting place at the Pig's Head Bar.

Aberforth also seemed to have received the order, and said to Qiubai who was sitting in the corner drinking canyon water with a slightly strange look in his eyes, "Come with me."

There was a door behind the bar, and a rickety wooden staircase led them into the living room.The living room had a worn carpet and a small fireplace above which hung a large oil painting of a fair-haired girl looking blankly and tenderly into the room.

"Arianna?" Qiubai murmured while holding the oil painting.The blond girl in the oil painting has a pair of clear blue eyes, but she is not too similar to herself. Even Charlotte and Qiubai don't think they are very similar, they look completely different.

Aberforth frowned and looked at Qiubai, his sharp eyes were exactly the same as Dumbledore's.He wanted to say something, but finally stopped, sat on the sofa in the corner, and waited silently for Dumbledore's arrival.

Dumbledore came very quickly, and when Qiubai was still staring at Arianna in the portrait, he appeared in the room with a bang.His hair and beard are messy, and he looks like he came from somewhere else.

"Miss Shire..." Dumbledore said.

"Hello, sir." Qiubai nodded to Dumbledore, "Do you believe me now, sir?"

"I'm sure about the second half for the time being." Dumbledore was still cautious, "But you said you are Charlotte, which sounds a bit unbelievable, and I really can't believe it easily."

When Aberforth heard "Charlotte", his eyes widened in disbelief.

"You came in time, sir." Qiubai sighed, "I said before that I would be able to provide the best evidence in a month, and now I will show you the evidence."

Dumbledore, hands folded in front of him, watched Qiubai cautiously from his blue eyes behind half-moon spectacles.Qiu Bai wiped the jade bracelet on his left hand, two puffs of light smoke drifted out from the jade ring, and gradually condensed into a translucent human figure in the air.

James was surprised to see Dumbledore when he opened his eyes, so surprised that his voice burst through the roof, "Dumbledore? I saw Dumbledore?" Lily was a little better, But there was also a scream.

Dumbledore's usual kind smile cracked on his face, and he just opened his mouth slightly, as if he had lost his words.

"Lily, James, we're back," Qiubai said to the two fussing ghosts.

"So suddenly?" James yelled out, "I was talking to Lily about it just now."

"It was so sudden. On the day the summit ended, because of the explosion of the space-time shuttle machine, I was able to travel back." Qiubai explained.

Dumbledore over there finally came to his senses, "What's going on?"

James and Lily, the two fans of Dumbledore, told Dumbledore about the situation in a hurry, and by the way, they also complained that Hogwarts 500 years later was a lot less fun.

"So the Horcrux thing must be true." Dumbledore rubbed his eyes wearily, "I didn't expect Tom to actually do such a stupid and terrible thing."

"We must destroy Voldemort's Horcruxes before he is resurrected, otherwise it will end up with a very bad result." The death of several people came to Qiubai's mind. If possible, she hoped that these would never happen. Become reality.

"You're right," Dumbledore agreed, "but first we may need to deal with what's at hand. I have to tell you that Harry is in danger right now. Sirius Black has escaped from Ards." Caban, wants to come to Hogwarts and kill Harry."

"Padfoot?" James' voice was distorted.

"Why did Sirius kill Harry?" Lily was also very puzzled, which Qiubai couldn't understand.

"The Secret Keeper was Sirius Black, wasn't he?" Dumbledore said, "Not only did he join Voldemort, he told Voldemort your address, he even blew up a Muggle Street and killed more than a dozen Muggles .and also killed your friend Peter Peruni."

"No, no!" James retorted angrily. If he was still alive, his eyes would be bloodshot at this moment. "Our secret keeper is not Sirius, but Peter! Peter is the traitor."

Dumbledore was surprised by what he heard, "As far as I know..."

"At first it was Sirius, but later it became Peter. Only a few of us know about it. If the secret-keeper leaked the address, it would be Peter." Qiubai sighed.

"But Black killed Peter, and Fudge saw Peter's remains at the scene, a pile of blood-stained robes and even fragments..." Dumbledore said in amazement.

"Something is wrong." Qiubai thought for a while and said, "I reasoned it out, Peter betrayed us, Sirius killed Peter, was mistaken for the murderer and was taken into Azkaban, where he stayed for so long Time, why come out of Azkaban at this time? Kill Harry?"

"Padfoot can't kill Harry! He is Harry's godfather, and he loves Harry as much as I do!" James said loudly.

"Yes, Sirius doesn't have this motive." Qiubai sighed.Although she and Sirius hadn't dealt with each other very much, judging from the previous contact, it was impossible for Sirius, who put loyalty and loyalty first, to do these things.

"Then why?" Lily murmured, "If he didn't want to kill Harry, why did he want to come to Hogwarts?"

"There is always a reason, find him first." Qiu Bai said.

"He hides very well." Dumbledore said, "The Ministry of Magic and the Dementors have not been able to find him until now, and I can't find him. And he is a wanted identity, and it has been so long since he was found The evidence has been overturned, and his final outcome can only be to be sucked out of his soul by a dementor."

"Can't we testify against him?" James said anxiously.

"I don't think people like Fudge will believe the testimony of the two ghosts, and you were not there at the time, so you can't prove whether he blew up that street. Unless Peter Peruni comes back alive and restores the scene at that time." Dumbledore Said.

"I can only say that he is too stupid." Qiubai was very angry. Dumbledore's words had already sentenced Sirius to death, and she was angry that Sirius missed the chance to save himself. "Since he is innocent, why didn't he clarify at that time?" !"

When Qiubai saw what happened to Harry, he wondered more than once, where did Sirius, who was still alive, go, and where did Harry's godfather go.How much she wanted Harry to have a happy childhood, instead of being bullied, hiding in the cupboard and complaining to a cloud of illusory blue light!

"Find him and hide him." James said painfully, covering his head.

"I've been looking for it, but he seems to be against the whole world." Dumbledore said, "He didn't ask anyone for help. He wandered outside Hogwarts by himself. He was too cunning."

"Padfoot is very powerful." James' voice became light and ethereal, "and...and he is..."

"What is he?" Dumbledore asked.

James hesitated for a while before saying: "Principal, before I tell you, you must promise me that you will not report him to the Ministry of Magic. Although... the crime on him is not bad."

Dumbledore nodded slightly, and agreed to James' appeal, "What the hell is that?"

"He is an illegal Animagus. As long as he transforms, he can hide in various places." James said, "He can become a black dog. Is the goal clearer?" Then he was not sure He asked eagerly, "Principal, if you find him, you won't hand him over to the Ministry of Magic, will you?"

"If he tells me the truth," said Dumbledore gravely.

"Then Harry is not in danger?" Qiubai asked.

"I'm not sure." Dumbledore rubbed his brows wearily, "The dementors seem to be very interested in Harry and attacked him on the Hogwarts Express."

"Damn dementor!" James clenched his fists, as if to knock the dementor away.

Dumbledore sighed, "I have no right to interfere with the decisions of the Ministry of Magic, so I have informed the faculty and staff to prevent Harry from leaving Hogwarts. With me here, Hogwarts is still safe."

"I'm afraid it's not that easy to stop..." Lily said worriedly.

"Do your best..." said Dumbledore, in fact he was not sure, "Harry is a brave boy. I asked Remus to pay more attention to him, and Remus cared about him."

"Remus is at Hogwarts?" This was an unexpected surprise for James.

"Yes, this year's Defense Against the Dark Arts professor at Hogwarts. He teaches very well and has become the students' favorite professor now," said Dumbledore.

"Then... full moon?" Qiu Bai asked.

"Severus will make him Wolfsbane," Dumbledore replied.

"Nose——" James swallowed the title reluctantly when he saw Qiubai's eyes, and then hummed, "He's a Death Eater, can the Wolfsbane potion he made be drinkable?"

"Shut up, you." Qiubai glared fiercely at James, and Lily gave James an unhappy look.Under the glare of the two women, James curled his lips and made a movement of zipping his mouth shut.

"Severus is from the Order of the Phoenix," said Dumbledore.

"I know." Qiubai said softly.

"Huh?" James couldn't believe his ears.

"Charles said it a long time ago, but you didn't listen." Lily said unhappily.

James shut up again, it was really his own problem.When he was in school, Severus was already equal to the Death Eaters in his eyes. He never liked Severus. As long as Qiubai mentioned Severus, he would go out for a walk, and he didn't like to talk to Lily. Speaking of him.

Qiubai snorted heavily, and said sharply, "Sometimes I think your mind is quite narrow." Then she turned to Dumbledore, "Then the way ahead is obvious now. Solve Sirius's problem first." things, and then go find the Horcruxes."

"That's right." Dumbledore said, "Sirius' final destination is Hogwarts. If you really can't find him, waiting for him at Hogwarts is also a good choice."

"Principal, can you offer me a job?" Qiubai asked after thinking about it.

She felt that she was very necessary at Hogwarts, one was to catch Sirius, the other was to protect Harry, and the third was what she wanted the most, she wanted to be close to Severus.She understood that Severus would not easily believe that she was Charlotte, so she had to muster up the courage to tell Severus everything, and she wanted to have a real reunion with him.

"Hogwarts includes food and lodging, right..." Qiubai said shyly, "and I have teaching experience."

"Of course." Dumbledore stroked his beard and was silent for a moment, "I think there is a job that can be offered to you. Teaching assistant in the Protection of Magical Beasts class is a bit condescending, but this is exactly what you are good at."

Qiubai thought of Bain, and her eyes lit up, "I'm happy to be unyielding, unyielding."

"Hagrid should be very happy." Dumbledore said with a smile. "This year he is a professor of the Protection of Magical Creatures class. It just so happens...he has encountered some troubles recently."

Arranging with Dumbledore to go to Hogwarts to sign the employment agreement the next day, Qiubai watched Dumbledore leave.Aberforth, who had been silent all this time, asked as if he was sure of something: "Are you really Charlotte?"

Qiubai didn't answer, but said with a smile: "That year, thank you for your warm spell."

Aberforth raised the corners of his lips, and sighed, "That's great..." His eyes rested on Arianna's portrait, and he let out a long sigh.

Qiubai never knew how happy Aberforth was when he saw Charlotte for the first time, he almost thought his sister had returned; how sad he was when he knew Charlotte died It turned out that whether it was Ariana or Charlotte like her, they would eventually disappear in front of him.Ariana was the threshold of his life's sorrow, he could not forgive Dumbledore, let alone himself.

When Qiubai returned to the room, James and Lily were still frowning "out of their minds", but their bodies were almost transparent. "You two are about to leave." Qiu Bai pulled the two of them back to their consciousness, "Aren't you going back into the bracelet?"

"Charles, protect Harry." Lily said solemnly.

"Charlotte, find Sirius," James added.

"Of course I will do this." Qiu Bai raised his eyebrows, "Should you ask me to release you earlier next time?"

"May I ask?" James said nervously, "I want to meet Moonface next time I go out, I think he might know something."

"Don't see Harry?" Qiubai asked.

"Of course I want to." James sighed, "but the matter of Padfoot is more important now, and there are too few opportunities for us to appear."

Qiubai agreed, although she wanted to put this opportunity on winning the letter from Severus.But there was a little hope and selfishness in her heart, she hoped that Severus would love her enough to recognize her.

Getting into Hogwarts went very well.She signed a contract with Dumbledore in the morning, and she was already standing in Hagrid's cabin with Dumbledore in the afternoon.

Hagrid's room has not changed much compared with ten years ago, but the enthusiastic Hagrid has become gloomy. He only wears a shirt and stands blankly by the cleaned table, listening to Dumbledore Introduce Qiubai to him.

"Oh, yes, that's good." The light in Hagrid's eyes almost went out, "Thank you, Dumbledore, for not firing me, but finding me an assistant." He thought Dumbledore felt that he I can't do this job alone.

"Maybe Miss Shire can help you with your difficulties." Dumbledore patted Hagrid's arm with a smile, and then said to Qiubai, "You can discuss with Hagrid about the class. As for introducing you to the students I am afraid that this matter can only be done by posting an announcement. You have already missed the link of introducing new teachers."

"I don't mind that, sir," Qiubai said.

Dumbledore quickly opened the door and went out, leaving only Hagrid with a slumped face.The fire in the fireplace was very hot, and the whole room was warm and cozy. A big dog had already stuck to Qiubai's feet when she entered the door, barking non-stop.

The sound of "grunts" became louder and louder. Qiubai walked to the fireplace, put a heat-proof spell on his hands first, then skillfully picked up the kettle, and brewed a pot of tea for Hagrid and himself. .

"Professor Hagrid..."

"Oh, don't call me that." Hagrid covered his forehead with his big hand, "I'm kind of a professor."

"Then—Hagrid." Qiubai changed his words, "I see you've been out of your mind, can you tell me what happened? I think I need to find out if the professor I'm in class with can teach normally."

"It's all my fault, I was too aggressive," said Hagrid mournfully, his eyes starting to turn red and his voice changing. "I shouldn't have put the Hippogriff on so early, I should have introduced Flo first." Caterpillar or something later... I messed up my first class, and now I don't know what will happen to Buckbeak." After saying this to himself, Hagrid sat down and covered his face with his hands and cried. stand up.

"Buckbeak?" Qiubai frowned, what will happen to Bain?Qiubai took out Hagrid's handkerchief from the pocket of the mole coat hanging on the wall, and raised his hand a little to reach the corner of Hagrid's eye, "Don't cry... so what happened to the hippogriff? What will happen to Buckbeak?"

Hagrid took the handkerchief from Qiubai's hand, blew his nose, and said in a low voice, "Buckbeak hurt someone, and it was little Malfoy who hurt. Big Malfoy won't let it go, I don't know when I will Get fired. Worse still Buckbeak, don't know what they'll do to him."

"So everything is not yet settled?" Qiubai walked to the side and found a stool to sit down.

Hagrid nodded gravely, as if both himself and Buckbeak had been sentenced to death.

"Actually, you don't have to worry too much. Dumbledore hasn't planned to fire you yet, has he? And..." Qiubai touched the teacup on the table, and the warmth slowly spread from his fingertips to his whole body, "Be... Buck Piccolo doesn't hurt people at will, it must be Malfoy who angered him, if the judgment is unfair, I will appeal with you."

"Really...really?" Hagrid's eyes shone with anticipation.

"Really." Qiubai said with a smile.

A layer of haze was pierced by the sun, and Hagrid's mood immediately improved a lot. He finally cheered up a little, and he said, "Thank you, Miss Shire."

"Just call me Shire." Qiubai said, "Why don't we discuss the time of our class, as well as the content and format of the next class?"

"Oh, of course, Ciel." Hagrid raised his big hand and scratched his head. "At present, I let the students take care of the Flobber caterpillar. I messed up the first class, and I don't have much confidence in myself."

"I have also been a teacher before, and sometimes the behavior of students is beyond our control. I think you shouldn't take all the faults on yourself." Qiubai comforted, "Follow your previous plan. How about it?"

"Is...really okay?" said Hagrid uneasily.

"Of course, with me here, even if there is a dragon here, it can't hurt the students." Qiu Bai said with a smile.

"Dragon!" Hagrid's dragon radar has remained unchanged for more than ten years.

"I can speak dragon language." Qiu Bai grinned, "I still have great confidence in magical creatures."

"That...that's really great, I want to know Dragon Language too." Hagrid said enviously, he grabbed the cup and drank the tea in the cup in one gulp, "The next class is tomorrow, it's fifth grade Class, what shall we introduce?"

"Fifth grade? Isn't that about taking OWLs?" Qiu Bai said, "You can teach whatever you want to test during the exam. Don't you already have an idea?"

Coming out of Hagrid's hut, Qiubai put two layers of warming spells on herself before swaying back to the office and bedroom that Dumbledore had prepared for her, which happened to be where Professor Kettleburn used to be.Qiubai did not change the layout of the office, but added some small tricks in some small places.

Sitting on the sofa, Qiubai looked at the empty desk.She touched her chin and thought about her next move.Run into Severus and tell him she's Charlotte!She has come back!
