[HP] Butterfly Effect

grim Reaper.

The meaning represented by this word has always been the most feared and tabooed by human beings since the beginning of existence. It represents the end of life, the farewell to everything in this world, and the decay and disappearance of the body.

In response to or to appease this fear, humans have created many things to do with it.The form is ever-changing, but the essence is the same, that is, the awe of death.

After hearing Aurora's question, Snape paused while drinking tea, and turned his head to look sideways at her: "I think Mr. Scamander has made it very clear just now, the origin of the ghost shark's name is only because they The toxin effect of human beings and the rich associative power of human beings."

Is it really just that?Aurora still couldn't remember how she was bitten. Her dreams were repetitive and paradoxical, but the sense of reality was extremely strong.I really don't know whether I should be sad that my imagination is so lacking that even dreaming has nothing new, so I just rewind the previous content, or I should marvel that her dreams can have displacement and empathy functions.

"It just occurred to me that since ghosts are real, maybe death is too?" Aurora said.Snape withdrew his gaze, and commented nonchalantly: "Interesting conjecture. But I suggest you finish your meal quickly and pack your things."

"Eh?" Aurora was stunned for a moment, "Pack up your things, why?" The other party frowned and looked at her: "Didn't you hear what Mr. Scamander said just now? There are many dark wizards here now, why don't you Are you going to live here alone?"

After hearing this, Aurora looked towards the room opposite the window, "What about Vox and his father?"

"I think that's a concern for the Aurors stationed nearby," Snape replied somewhat unhappily.

This is indeed the case, and I have no other way but to remind them to be careful recently.

After quickly eating the remaining noodles, Aurora cleaned the plate and other tableware skillfully, then quickly packed up her things and left with Snape.Before leaving, she ran across the road to find Vaux, explained the recent situation to him in a few words, asked him to be more careful, and kept in touch with letters during the summer vacation.

"By the way, we went home together last night, right?" Aurora stood at the door and said very quickly, "Did you notice that I was bitten by something at that time?"

Vox looked her up and down in surprise for a while, then shook his head: "No, what happened?"

So it seems that his wound was not bitten by the sea?when was that

A thick doubt brewed up, stuffed in Aurora's chest, making her uncomfortable.She hesitated for a short time, slid her finger on the door frame a few times, finally shook her head, and said with a smile: "Uh, it's nothing serious. Although there are Aurors nearby, you should stay alone It's been too long at the beach, I have to go first. I will write to you when I get there, you have to remember to get back to me."

"Of course, be careful on the road."

"Goodbye."

……

In the next few days, Aurora temporarily lived in the mobile dormitory.The place where she was bitten by the ghost shark had already healed under the action of Bai Xian, but it left a scar on the skin that couldn't be removed, which looked very weird.And during those few days, she would repeat that dream from time to time.

She was limping around Hogwarts like a marionette, walking up and down endlessly.

But there are also differences. For example, the skeleton hand in the black cloak never appeared again, and the scene where she appeared is no longer a fixed location in Hogwarts.

It's just that every time she wants to wake up from her dream, she will definitely dream that she is submerged in a deep water, and when she breaks free, it is the riverside of Plymouth.

Of course, when she really wakes up, she will find that she is actually still lying on the bed of the mobile dormitory, not going anywhere, except for the dull pain in the scar on her calf bitten by the ghost shark.

Aurora couldn't tell what that felt like.Sometimes she lay in a silent darkness, and even the sense of time passing was so clear.She always feels that something is slowly changing, but unfortunately she can't see it, and neither can others.

On the ninth day, the Ministry of Magic suddenly took a very tough temporary measure, temporarily taking over most of the inns and magical biological products shops with records, and banned the passage of Great Britain and Northern Ireland Activity.They even got in touch with the Muggle Prime Minister and restricted access to Muggle ways.

The official explanation for this in the Daily Prophet is to prevent the situation from getting out of control and spreading further.However, Rita Skeeter is more willing to use her usual sharp and exaggerated style of writing to describe this action as a conspiracy theory, and has won the support and support of many wizards.

You must know that on the issue of the management of magical creatures, no matter the UK or other countries have always been quite a headache. There are many ways to think about it, but the results are always not very good.Especially in recent years, with the rapid development of Muggle society, they have broken into the habitats of some ancient magical creatures more and more times because of resource development.This invisibly intensified the conflict between the wizard and the two.From the perspective of quantity alone, the wizarding community is far inferior to Muggles and magical creatures. Once a large-scale conflict occurs, the wizarding community must pay a heavy price.

Therefore, in 1965, a law drafted by Newt Scamander and approved by the Law Enforcement Division of the British Ministry of Magic prohibited any wizard from feeding XXXXX-class untamed animals for experimental or other purposes. magical creature.

Before the introduction of this law, the creation and breeding of extremely dangerous magical creatures was very popular among wizarding groups throughout the UK, especially among dark wizards.Because these magical creatures are extremely difficult to be tamed, but they can often bring them unimaginable wealth.

"So now someone is violating this law again?" Aurora asked while carefully dripping the concocted potion into the big eyes of the Moon Crazy Beast that needed treatment.

"Yeah." Newt sighed, and the quill quickly recorded something in the notebook, "This time the black wizards are a group, and it should have lasted quite a long time, but they have not been discovered, because they have been entrenched Over there in Northern Ireland, smuggled in from Plymouth."

"Looks like they screwed up."

"Pretty bad. Most of the magical creatures got away," Newt said. "And this time it's not only England, but Ireland as well."

Newt spends most of the day outside with other Ministry staff, but Newt has always been alone and rarely communicates with other Ministry members unless absolutely necessary.In the evening, he would return to the mobile home to teach Aurora how to care for the various magical creatures in his crate.

Talent is used to get close to and understand those magical creatures, taking care of and protecting them requires experience and enough patience, which is exactly what Newt taught Aurora.She also came to understand why Newt had resisted joining the Ministry, even when he was threatened with making him a Most Wanted.

Because the Ministry of Magic looks at issues from the perspective of all wizards, joining it means obeying all its orders.On the contrary, Muggle society is on the standpoint of Muggle's own safety.These two represent the interests of their respective groups, and they don't care much about the survival of each other and the third-party magical creatures.

So Newt disagreed with many of the Ministry of Magic's rulings.He is a wizard, agrees and insists on the need for secrecy in the wizarding world, and opposes all acts of discrimination against Muggles, but at the same time he has a closer relationship with magical creatures.

He stood on everyone's side and never turned against any side.

Therefore, relatively speaking, he is an unpopular and out-of-group fringe person.

As Rita Skeeter proclaims: "Natural animal tamers are those eccentric and irresponsible eccentrics, as if asking them to be more compassionate to their fellow wizards would kill them." like.

Of course, they seemed a little more friendly than the Parseltongue who never did anything good. "

But in fact, Aurora dared to swear on the Hogwarts school badge that Newt was definitely not what Rita said.

"In short, it's more troublesome to solve this matter, after all, two countries are involved." Newt smiled shortly.

Aurora caught Xixiu, who was pulling her hair vigorously, and nodded her understanding.She forgot to wear her hat today, and her long pale golden hair is as gentle and bright as if it were woven with fine gold thread under the light. Nixiu especially likes to pull her hair. From time to time, she will pull out a few hairs and stuff them into the pouch while she is not paying attention. Here, the small eyes looked at her brightly, ready to strike again at any time.

If I go on like this, I'm afraid I'm going to be bald.

It can be seen that raising a sniff requires consideration of one's own external conditions, and it is best not to raise a blonde.

As the days passed, Newt and the rest of the Ministry staff seemed to be getting busier.With the mobile residence temporarily taken over by the Ministry of Magic, all travelers were forced to move out.The situation in London continued to become critical, and Hogwarts immediately stepped up its vigilance.But Dumbledore was not at school because of some business at that time, Snape had to return to Hogwarts after receiving Professor McGonagall's letter, and Aurora temporarily stayed at the Weasley's house.

The Burrow looked as precarious and stable as ever, and Aurora came out of the morning light dragging the suitcase.The morning in Devon was wrapped in a thick and humid mist from the Otter River, the forests and meadows melted and loosened into pine-blue shadows, and the mountains were drenched in a low-key blue.

The sky has a kind of obscure brightness, and the haze of the rain is spreading and surging in a corner of the vast sky, contrasting the unoccupied blank area with a strong brightness.

She stopped and walked all the way, and when she passed the Otter River, she ran into Charlie who came out alone by the river and was bouncing around with stones.

"Charlie." Aurora called him.The boy immediately turned his head back and was stunned for a while, as if he couldn't believe it, and hurried over: "Aurora?! Why are you so early? Mom said you won't arrive until noon."

"I woke up early, so I took the earlier train. Why are you here alone?"

"Oh... I, I woke up early too. Let's go, my house is not far ahead."

"thank you all."

"What are you talking about?"

Mollie and the children were delighted to see her, and said they were just going to write. "Before I always heard Arthur say that Plymouth is the most dangerous place now, and we were almost worried to death." Molly hugged Aurora and said happily, "Bill just sent a letter to Vaux in the morning, and I'm still thinking about it." When will you come over?"

"I've also communicated with Vaux." Aurora replied with a smile, the smell and temperature on Molly's body always reminded her of her mother Marianne, "Don't worry about him, Remus has already gone to Plymouth to have a round with them. He was worried that I would go there alone, but unfortunately I was already here, so he stayed to protect Vox and the others."

"That's great, come in quickly, you're just in time for lunch!" Molly finally felt relieved.

As soon as they entered the house, George and Fred, who were standing on the second floor, flexibly sat on the railing of the corridor, and said in unison: "It's great that you can come."

"That way we don't have to listen to Charlie talking about getting back to school."

The voices of the two children were astonishingly similar to their looks, and even the pitch of the deliberately long-tailed voice was so consistent that Aurora couldn't tell who they were.

Bill came out from the back room, grabbed their ears one by one to shut them up, and smiled impeccably: "I heard that your teacher this time is Mr. Scamander? I saw it in the Daily Prophet."

"It turns out that you are thinking about the dragons in Newt's box." Aurora looked at Charlie with a strange face, pretending to be regretful, and spread her hands with a smile, "Unfortunately, I didn't take a picture this time, you should write a letter earlier Tell me, and maybe I can get Newt's autograph for you."

"No...it's good if you can come." After finishing speaking, the boy seemed to feel that this sentence was inappropriate, but for a while he didn't know how to change his words.That clumsy and cute look made everyone laugh at once.

For a period of time after that, Aurora kept in touch with Newt, and occasionally wrote to Snape a few times, thanking him for taking the trouble to have the owl deliver the eye medicine every two days.At first she thought that Snape would not reply at all, but unexpectedly, he would reply very quickly every time, but the words were not many, and the content seemed very dry and formulaic.

At the end of July, Aurora submitted an application to the Ministry of Magic, requesting to remove the monitoring magic on her satchel, and she was sure that she was fully prepared for this.However, it seems that because the Ministry of Magic has been very busy recently, no one replied to her letter.

In early August, the birthday of the youngest Weasley, Ginny, was just a few days away.Aurora has been thinking about preparing a better gift for her, which can also be regarded as an apology for disturbing their family for so long.

After Molly found out, she resolutely forbade Aurora to buy too expensive things for Ginny: "You don't even know how relieved I am after you came here. You help me cook together every day and take care of this group of children who are noisy all day long. Even Charlie They have become much better, and started to share the housework for me. Now I am anxiously waiting for you to start school, how can I handle it by myself. "

Aurora couldn't persuade her, and Molly's temper was quite stubborn.In the end she had to pretend to accept Molly's words, saying that she still had to go out in two days and wanted to go to Diagon Alley to get a pair of glasses.

"Are your eyes still not doing well?" Charlie asked worriedly.Aurora shrugged, "It's definitely not as good as before, but the situation is still stable, at least it hasn't gotten worse."

"Then I'll go with you. The book list was mailed two days ago. I'll go early to see if there are any second-hand bookstores for sale. It's really too late to go when school starts." Bill said, urging Ron to hurry up. ordered to finish copying new words, and threatened that if he couldn't finish, there would be no custard flan in the evening, and the table would be full of big green spiders made of broccoli.

After hearing broccoli and spiders, Ron was so frightened that his face turned ashen. He could only obediently lower his head and continue copying, repeating in a childlike voice: "No spiders, and no broccoli."

"We want to go too." Fred looked at his elder brother full of resentment.Since Arthur had banned the children from going out because of the recent incident, he and George had been practically planted in the Burrow, playing wits with Molly every day, and the house was almost demolished.

As soon as he finished speaking, Molly rushed out of the kitchen with her wand in hand, and shouted at the two mischievous little guys: "Don't even think about it, Fred Weasley! Don't go, just stay at home peacefully!"

"But Mom." Fred retorted unconvinced, "We've been at home for almost a week, let alone go to Diagon Alley, and we'll be back soon."

"Impossible!" Molly refused, and said very firmly, "If I'm not here, you two won't be able to find your shadow once you reach Diagon Alley, I can guarantee..."

"No mother, we also promise that Bill and Aurora will watch us." George looked at his mother obediently, "We just want to go out for a stroll, just for a while."

Aurora watched dumbfoundedly as the two naughty ghosts used everything from smacking and rolling to swearing cutely, and Molly still stubbornly stuck to her decision.It wasn't until dinner that Arthur said that the situation in London was almost under control, and Molly reluctantly agreed.

At that moment, the two children were as happy as Christmas.

"If you let me know that you are running around," Molly finally ordered, "I will let you eat mashed potatoes with mint and green peppers for a week!"

It turned out that Molly's warning didn't help much, and there was no way the Weasley twins would stop running.

After Aurora got the glasses, she was still a little unaccustomed to walking. The roads on the ground looked dangerously curved and distorted, and there was a rounded border in her sight.Probably the glasses of wizards are more unusual. The frames in the Diagon Alley optical shop are very strange.Some lenses have a magical swirl pattern that does not affect the wearer's vision, some have only two round lenses, and some have two frames with inconsistent shapes.

In the end, she settled on a pair of relatively conventional black wire glasses with a pair of bat wings on either side of the lens, which looked a lot like makeup glasses for Halloween.

On the way to the second-hand bookstore, Aurora went to the gift shop under the pretext of going to the toilet, and wanted to pick out a gift for Ginny. For this reason, she carried a bag on her back today, just waiting to stuff it into the bag after buying it so that Bill would not find it.

After all this was done, she put on her canvas bag and went to the second-hand bookstore to find Bill and Fred.

However, when she passed one of the intersections in Diagon Alley, her eyes were unexpectedly attracted by two familiar figures.

Dumbledore and Regulus.

There was also a fat, somewhat balding old man whom Aurora had never seen before.

Dumbledore is wearing a dark purple star robe today, and even his beard is tied with a little sparkling star, looking very gentle and interesting.But the fat old man seemed to be afraid of Dumbledore's approaching, and his posture was a bit defensive, but not aggressive.

Regulus spotted Aurora looking this way, raised the wide brim of the hood slightly and blinked at her, pulled the corners of his mouth, and smiled briefly and politely.Aurora instinctively felt that he was very different from the previous class, the feeling of confusion and melancholy disappeared, replaced by a kind of cool and calm.

Just like the green bamboos in the emerald sea after the thick fog has cleared.

He stood beside Dumbledore. Although he rarely interrupted, there was an indescribable elegance in his manner and speech.It's hard for you to think that someone can combine the two temperaments of modesty and dignity so well that it makes people feel disgusted.

Fortunately, Dumbledore didn't ask Regulus to be the professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts now, otherwise the situation would probably be difficult to control.

Thinking of this, Aurora bewilderedly returned a smile and nodded to the other party, not intending to disturb their conversation.

As soon as he turned around, there was a creepy scream above his head, which made all the wizards in Diagon Alley stop and looked up at the sky.

A black shadow slid quickly in a triangle form from the east. It was a well-trained Thestral with seven heads, pulling a huge iron cage, and was commanded by the Aurors of the Ministry of Magic to fly across the low sky.What was locked in the iron cage was a strange magical creature with the forelimbs and head of a giant eagle, but the torso and hind legs of a lion.Its body is red like flames, its neck and two wings are white and broad, bound and hinged on its body by iron chains, and its golden pupils glared at the people below.

Wizards who were familiar with magical creatures immediately recognized that it was a rare animal from Greece, a griffin.

The crowd was discussing in twos and threes that this strange creature should be the last target of the Ministry of Magic, and about the last time in a town in York, a poison leopard almost killed half of the members of the British Auror Ministry.In the end it was Newt who rushed over from London immediately to get him in the cage.This matter was published in the Daily Prophet for several days, and it was full of people discussing it for a while.

There were those who expressed their gratitude, and there were also many people who questioned that if people like natural animal trainers were not strictly controlled, they would cause a devastating blow to the wizarding society.

To be honest, when Aurora saw these remarks, her mood was a bit complicated.

Fred and George also ran out of the shop at the roar.The two eight-year-old children looked up at the giant beast in the sky, cheered with excitement, holding a string of laughter bells that Arthur gave them on their birthday last year and kept shaking them.

The sound of the bell is not loud, it is buried by the voice of the crowd, and it is as fragile as a gossamer.But it fell into Aurora's ear, like a thunderbolt.

"Fred, don't ring the bell..." She just yelled out in horror, when the griffin in the iron cage suddenly struggled frantically as if it had been stimulated by something.The Thestrals were taken aback by such a huge change, and the neat team scattered all of a sudden, becoming somewhat uncontrollable by the Aurors.

Time seems to slow down under the tearing of this fierce beast.In an instant, the chains and cage that were still tied to it were torn open, the hurricane whirled out from between its wings, the calm air was like the sea under a storm, and the light was chaotic, and the cloud was cloudy. churn.The entire sky above Diagon Alley was filled with a majestic haze, and the shattered clouds were almost trembling and peeled off from the sky.

It glared viciously at the screaming and chaotic wizards below, its huge body covering the dappled summer sun, casting terrifying shadows, the light floating overhead, gray gold.This scene reminded Aurora very inappropriately of her past home in Plymouth. When she pushed open the dusty door on the top of the attic, she saw the sunlight just coming in from the window, passing through layers of dust with the temperature of the years, and finally The way she stopped on her tiptoes.

The Aurors fell from the sky and were caught firmly by Dumbledore and Regulus with the Levitation Charm.Aurora squeezed out of the crowd and grabbed the hands of the stunned Fred and George: "Run—! Get out of here!"

It fell on the top of the shops in Diagon Alley, crushing the connected houses. Most of the spells of the wizards were ineffective against it. It hit the feathers as hard as a shield, and sparks flew.

Almost all the wizards with their children chose to use Apparatus to leave, while those who couldn't use Apparatus desperately chose to run and hide.There were also other wizards who rose up to resist, but unfortunately it didn't do much except aggravate its anger.

Aurora hurriedly brought Fred and George to Dumbledore who was staring at the furious magical creature and was about to make a move. The two little boys were so shocked by the scene in front of them that they couldn't speak, and they grabbed Dumbledore tightly. Lido's robes did not let go.

"Oh, hello, two little gentlemen." Dumbledore stretched out his hand to protect the child behind him, and easily built an indestructible shield to resist the attack of the griffin.No matter how hard it tries, it just doesn't move.

The griffin let out a low hoot, and golden-red streaks of light began to brew from its gaping mouth.

After Aurora noticed it, she turned around and knelt directly on the ground full of sharp gravels, tried to soften her body, opened her arms as if to hug something, and looked at the magical creature in front of her devoutly.

Griffons are proud creatures with fierce and tyrannical temperaments, and they are only willing to consider stopping their anger when the other party humbly offers themselves as a sacrifice to please them.Therefore, Aurora must be non-aggressive, and use a kneeling posture to get closer to the opponent.

After about a few minutes, as Dumbledore and the others backed away, the Gryphon finally calmed down, resting its head on Aurora's legs, its huge body lying on the pile of ruins .She stroked the other's feathers gently, giving it time to get used to this strange touch from a human.

After a while, Aurora turned her head and stretched out her hand to Fred and said, "Can you lend me your bell? I promise it won't be broken."

Fred quickly passed the bell over, and boldly looked at the quiet rare magical creature: "How did you do it, Merlin."

"It's actually not too difficult, as long as you know them well enough." Aurora said, shaking the string of bells, guiding the Griffin to stand up and shake its feathers.

"Nice job, Aurora." Dumbledore said briskly, retracting his shield. "We should all be glad you're here today. By the way, I like your glasses."

Bill on the side waved at his two younger brothers anxiously: "George, Fred, come here!"

Aurora pushed up her glasses and gave Dumbledore a small smile, and she could hear whispers around her discussing some connection between her and Newt.Then, she turned to the Aurors next to her and said, "Take it away."

The Aurors looked at each other, as if wondering how to bring it back to the Ministry without the cage and the Thestrals.They are not worried about the lost Thestrals, they are well trained and know their way back.

"Or..." Aurora suggested sincerely, "you can ride it back, just be careful not to grab its wings, it doesn't like that very much. Come on."

The griffin showed a vicious smile at them, and stretched its wings.

It seems that the Aurors are not very willing to accept this proposal.

"That……"

"Then, Aurora, why don't you take this magical creature back with them, it seems to like you very much, I don't think it would mind staying with you for a while longer." Dumbledore said tactfully.

The Aurors nodded in agreement with solemn expressions.

"But..." Aurora looked at Bill and the others, and then at Dumbledore, "Can you go with me?"

She really didn't like the Ministry of Magic that much, and she didn't want to go alone.I don't know if this is also a common feature of natural animal tamers.

"If you need it." Dumbledore agreed graciously.

"That's great." Relieved, Aurora replied with a smile.

"We also want to..." George looked at the extremely cool griffin, and was interrupted by Bill just after he uttered two words.He growled a bit like Molly: "You don't want to! Mom made mashed potatoes with mint, green peppers and mashed potatoes waiting for you, didn't you forget?!"

Gemini's expression suddenly became very painful.

After finishing speaking, Bill bowed to Dumbledore with a tense expression: "I'm sorry, principal, these are my two younger brothers."

"Hope to see you at the sorting ceremony at Hogwarts in the future." Dumbledore waved at them and sat on the back of the Griffin, "Well, it's much more comfortable than a broom. Don't you try ?"

The two Aurors looked grave as they climbed onto the magical creature's back.

"I'm sorry that's all I can do today, Horace." Dumbledore said to the fat old man standing beside Regulus, "We'll talk another day after I finish delivering my students."

"Well, of course." Horace Slughorn snorted twice, his eyes were more on Aurora than Dumbledore's, "Anytime."

Aurora climbed up last, sat on its neck, straightened her glasses and rang the bell: "Let's go!"

Soon, they all disappeared into the sky.

The author has something to say:

This chapter is considered a transitional chapter, and there are not many professors.

The poisonous leopard is in the Fantastic Beasts movie. It is said that the breath it exhales is poisonous. It usually takes a hundred wizards to work together to subdue it.I don't know how cute Newt did it. This kind of thing can only be called talent.

It was announced in advance that Ban Ban would be lost in Aurora's summer vacation, and Horcrux missions would also be launched.

Happy belated new year! !Every little angel who reads the article will get rich and thin in the new year! !
