[HP] Butterfly Effect

The bell of the castle bell tower rang three times on time, and the long and dull sound continued to fade away, disappearing in the soft dark gray clouds like waves in the distance, knocking down more raindrops.

Snape always had a good grasp of the rhythm of the class, and when the bell rang he had just finished, leaving a paper on the three unforgivable curses as the homework content for this time.This is to be expected, the fifth grade is the most hectic and important year in the whole seven years, because they will soon face career considerations and future course selection decisions.

After class, Aurora rushed to the library to borrow reference books. Unfortunately, the only few books had been borrowed. After searching for a long time, she could only choose "The Evolution and Confrontation of Ancient Magic".Then she chose a corner location with a few of her friends and huddled together, starting from drawing up the outline and working until dinner.When returning to the dormitory, Aurora went to the kitchen to find Adara, the elf of the Slytherin family, as usual. She would prepare some for Aurora's magical creatures while helping the basilisk Abyss to prepare food.

The elf slid briskly down the stairs into the satchel, fed the minced meat in the bucket to the Thestrals, tilted his head and looked at Aurora, and said in a high-pitched and cheerful voice: "Miss Aurora Field wants to have a relationship with Ada Let's go to see Abyss together? It's always alone, very poor." This is the first time Aidara has made such an invitation, and Aurora will feel extremely cold every time.It's easy to imagine that if she did go with Aidara, she would be the "very poor" one.

So Aurora stuffed Salazar's diary over: "I think it's better to let Mr. Slytherin go by himself, I think Abyss would be more willing to see its owner." The elf shook his big ears, excited like He almost knelt down to accept a sacred object, and there were tiny tears flashing in his tea-brown round eyes.

Generally speaking, this is the best time to change the subject.So Aurora pretended to be calm and continued to ask: "By the way, I didn't seem to see Kreacher when I came in just now. Where did he go?"

Aidara wrinkled her nose unhappily, then held the diary respectfully and cautiously, and replied in a low voice as if she was afraid of waking up some awesome creature: "He's gone. Hmph, he left two days ago .That Mr. Black came to pick him up, huh."

Aurora nodded and said nothing more.Matcha pudding gets along well with other magical creatures in the satchel, and the wounds heal quickly.When Aurora gave it medicine the last time, she speculated that it would be able to leave the satchel and return to the forest in a few days.

However, because of the experience of being tortured in a circus, Matcha Pudding is very sensitive to metal impacts, human smells, and voices, and is also easily stimulated. Whenever he hears something unusual, he will lose his temper and spray everywhere. The fire nearly burned Buckbeak's feathers once.

Sometimes spiritual wounds are hard to heal.Aurora patted its head, and decided to let it go after it was less easily startled.She didn't want the "Ilfracombe incident" to happen again decades ago, and the Ministry of Magic was getting allergic to Fantastic Beasts accidents of late.

Aidara carried Salazar's diary and quickly disappeared with a short snap of fingers, while Aurora returned to the dormitory with her satchel, ready to continue writing her thesis.She doesn't have much time this weekend, because she still has to go to Hogsmeade to find Remus. Sirius' trial will start next week, and she is destined to have no chance to attend, so she can only wait in school. With the final judgment result.

Thinking of this, Aurora sighed, replaced the parchment that had already been filled, placed a new blank page, dipped in ink, and turned to the next page of the reference book.This book was not very suitable for the content of her dissertation. After reading it for a while, Aurora closed it and put it aside, pulling her hair and thinking about where to borrow a suitable book.

Before she could figure out why, Aidara suddenly appeared in the air holding the diary.The black cat Brett and Chajuan, who were lying on the ground and squinting their eyes leisurely, immediately jumped up on the spot, and desperately burrowed into Aurora's arms, as if they saw a natural enemy.

Aurora took the diary and opened it, feeling that she had found the hope of the thesis: "Mr. Slytherin, can you do me a little favor?"

The emerald green poisonous snake was entangled on the paper, looking a little lazy and absent-minded: "What do you want to do?" Aurora honestly told her homework requirements and the situation that she didn't borrow a suitable book, and secretly prayed that he must be in a good mood today : "Do you know any books besides those mentioned by Professor Snape, which also have records about these three spells?"

"You guys have been taking Defense Against the Dark Arts class for so long, and now you're finally getting to the point?" Salazar gave her a weird and contemptuous look, and outlined a few lines of words with the tip of his tail. Rose's thorn, "I don't know what books you are using now, but I have a lot in the secret room."

"Then, can I borrow it? Please sir, I promise I won't damage it for you, and I'll return it as soon as I finish writing the thesis." Borrowing something from Salazar Slytherin, Aurora felt that she didn't What a pity to go to Gryffindor.

"Aidara."

"Yes Master."

Before she had time to sigh that Salazar was so eloquent this time, Aurora was sucked into a suffocating tear and vortex, and her whole body fell firmly on the floor of the secret room.Those thick, fine rugs did nothing to protect her.

This is the second time she has entered the secret room, and she feels the same as the last time. When she opened her eyes, she was surrounded by dark green oppression, and the slender water ripples in the room brought a strange sense of transparency and coldness.Aurora has always been unable to figure out what the lighting principle here is, so that the entire room can maintain a dark tone without finding a real shadow.It seems that those light particles have been crushed and completely melted and floated in the air here.

Looking up directly in front of you, you can see the family emblem pattern flag of the Slytherin family - painted and embroidered on a dark green background is a giant silver snake with a faceted gemstone in its mouth.

She got up and hurriedly caught the thick and hard books thrown by Salazar, and suddenly felt the weight of knowledge.

"The contents of these few books are the most superficial, and you don't need the rest." A crisp, youthful voice came from the diary, and floated to the next table.Aurora thanked her, and looked unconsciously at the bedside of the room, where there was a portrait of Helga, but Salazar didn't seem to feel it.

At this moment, the girl in the portrait winked at Aurora to say hello, and waved her finger to indicate that she didn't need to return.

Sure enough, looking at it again, I still feel very horrified. Helga's appearance is almost exactly the same as her own.Every time she thought of this fact, Aurora felt as if something sharp had pierced her back, and the top of her head was numb and cold.

She put the book on the table and opened it carefully, when a strange symbol on the title page suddenly caught her eyes, like a deformed leaf, the leaves extending from the two sides of the straight vein in the center were asymmetrical in shape, but cuddled and grew close together Together, grotesque and beautiful.Aurora recognized it for a while, and asked curiously: "Sir, what is this?"

Salazar turned his head to glance, his golden snake eyes trembled, and his eyes split apart.Immediately afterwards, he quickly turned his head away again, and the strangeness just now was as short as hallucination: "It has nothing to do with your thesis, you don't need to know."

His voice was as cold as the ice and snow in the deep winter of England, revealing a kind of clean and straightforward coldness.

Aurora tactfully stopped asking questions, but picked up the books and went back to the dormitory with Aidara to start reading.Only then did she discover that it wasn't just that strange mark on the book just now, it was found in every book, but not necessarily on the title page.

Not long after, she found that the time was close to the curfew, so she left the dormitory and went to patrol the castle as a routine, with the aim of bringing as many students as possible back to the dormitory before they were caught by the night-watching professors.This is one of the things a prefect needs to do.

When passing the second floor, Aurora ran into Bill who was also patrolling.The other party's workload was much heavier than hers. After all, vitality and curiosity were qualities that Gryffindors would never lack, so it would not be easy to lock them all into the tower dormitory area.In contrast, Aurora's tasks are much easier, and the little badgers have always been very strict with the school rules, which makes the necessary prefect tasks every night almost become a leisurely stroll for her.

After greeting a few low-grade Hufflepuffs who were still scratching their heads at the books from the library, Aurora walked along the deep corridor to the second floor.Since Professor Dumbledore closed Myrtle's bathroom, almost no one came here.Through the window, she could see the rain in those dark nights gleaming faintly under the lights from the castle.

The regular and gentle sound of the rain massaged Aurora's nerves. She watched the children outside the castle rushing in, and the tea roll was sitting on her shoulders holding her collar.Blueberry jam twisted in the sleeve, as if waking up.Aurora took it out and held it in the palm of her hand. A small green cocoon was opening its dark eyes and staring out the window.

She touched Blueberry Jam's head with her fingers, and raised her wand with her right hand to draw flame-colored patterns in the air.A leaf, asymmetrical left and right, the symbol in Salazar's book.

A group of extremely gorgeous red clouds floated through the rain, fog and darkness, and Aurora recognized that it was Dumbledore's Phoenix Fawkes.It seems that it didn't come out to help its master today, because it didn't bring anything, just stayed on the window sill in front of Aurora, tilted its head to look at the curled-winged demon that shrank itself together, trying to Go peck it.

Blueberry Jam was hanging upside down on Aurora's fingers, swinging her body to avoid Fox's approach, occasionally throwing it over and bumping into it, hitting Fox's head right in the middle.It barked and continued to peck at the blueberry jam.

Seeing the mutual testing of these two magical creatures, Aurora couldn't help laughing.

"It's incredible."

Startled by the sudden sound, Aurora quickly stuffed the blueberry jam back into her sleeve, the wand broke through the pattern floating in the air, and turned to see Slughorn standing with a surprised and appreciative expression. behind myself.

"Good evening, Professor Slughorn," said Aurora. "Good evening. Are you on an early inspection?" He looked happily at the girl in front of him, as if he was looking at some amazing collection, "It seems that you have a few friends with you. I don't know if Albus will Will be confused where his precious phoenix is, I've never seen such a proud bird willing to be close to anyone but Albus, you must have a way."

"Actually, it flew over by itself. I think it might have been a little bored in the principal's office, so it came out for a walk." Aurora touched the golden beak attached by Fox and replied.After hearing this, Slughorn seemed happier: "Not everyone can attract a phoenix by standing still, I think I finally understand why even that boy Severus likes you so much. "

Aurora's mind went blank for a second, and she looked at him blankly: "What?" She wouldn't be surprised if the other party was talking about Dumbledore, but what she just heard didn't seem to be Professor Dumbledore's name .

"Didn't you notice?" Slughorn looked at her with interest. "He treats you as well as any of the good students at his house. It's recognition, Aurora, Severus." The child has always been a little too strict, and it is not easy for you to make him do this. I heard that you always help him a lot on the way to find potion ingredients, right?"

"Uh...well. I mean, sometimes I'll...not really help...I..." Aurora decided it would be better to change the subject, because Slughorn looked like he was suddenly interested in her. The response of the poorly organized language became more interesting, so she said in a half-joking tone that pretended to be relaxed, "You might as well say that I am the student who has been punished and confinement by Professor Snape the most times, so many times that he follows I'm familiar with it."

After speaking, both of them laughed.Slughorn's laugh was soft, and Aurora was a little creepy.Then, he went on: "I don't think Severus would want to get acquainted with an ordinary student who is often in solitary."

Aurora couldn't laugh at all.Fortunately, Slughorn didn't intend to continue this topic, but turned his attention to Aurora's wand: "Who taught you that symbol you just drew?"

There are ghosts who have been walking around, and Fox flies away.Aurora and Slughorn began chatting as they walked slowly down the corridor together.The ancient human-shaped stone sculptures leaned against the wall to prop up the dome of the aisle in front, which looked particularly mottled and thick under the firelight, looking down on them with the glory of ancient times.

"I read it from a book." Aurora replied honestly.

"Then do you know what it means?"

"No idea. I just thought it looked special and beautiful."

"Very beautiful?" Slughorn gave her a weird look, still smiling, "Your idea is quite special." Aurora realized that he might know the meaning of the symbol that Salazar painted all over the book So I asked, "Professor, do you know?"

"Of course." Slughorn replied briskly, as if he had been waiting for the other party to ask, "That is a very ancient spell imprint, and it is generally not used lightly. Because its function is to let the two Wands establish an intimacy that cannot be broken, in other words, a wand imprinted with such a spell can never be opposed to another."

"Is that so?" Aurora was surprised by the result, and couldn't help but ask, "Then if those two people change their wands, will the spell not work?"

"That's right. But the knowledge of wands is also very profound. You have to know that sometimes you can't perform to your due level with other people's wands. So that spell cannot be used lightly, the risk is too great."

So why did Salazar write such a spell mark in his library?

Let the magic wands between each other never be able to confront each other. No matter how you look at it, this kind of thing has nothing to do with the high-ranking founder.

Or, did he invent this spell at all?It doesn't seem like it, it doesn't fit the Slytherin style.

"Good night, Aurora."

"Good night, Professor Slughorn."

……

The rain continued into the weekend, but the clouds did not disperse.Only after getting rid of the weight of the water, they floated higher, covering the center of the sky like a smoky gray hood, leaving only a narrow line of cold light at the edge of the skyline, clearly delineating the mountain peaks The curved outline of the mountain, the velvet-like white mist is suspended sporadically on the mountainside.

After all the hot and humid feeling faded, Hogsmeade was occupied by a large group of young wizards from Hogwarts as expected.Among them, the most excited should be the children who have just entered the third grade.

Tonks came out from the door of the Honeydukes candy store, and handed a bar of chocolate in his hand to Aurora: "Come on, I've bought everything I want. Next, I'll go to the Three Broomsticks bar with you."

They came to the store, sat in the corner by the window and waited for Remus.And he quickly came out of the kitchen with two glasses of cherry juice and handed them to the two girls in front of him: "I hope my craftsmanship can catch up with Dunn. He is sick and asked for leave today."

Tonks took a sip, his emerald green eyes narrowed softly: "It's delicious, thank you Mr. Lupine." Remus had a little impression of this girl, because Aurora mentioned it to him several times. times, and he had seen each other before.At that time, Tonks still had silver curly hair with a bit of blue at the end, instead of the short black hair that stretched casually and slightly sharply in all directions, like a flower blooming upside down. Rich black flowers.

She fumbled in her pocket for a while, then clenched her white hand into a fist and stretched it out in front of Remus, with a cute and playful smile: "For you, sir."

The girl's expression was contagious, Remus smiled slightly, and asked cooperatively: "Do I have to guess correctly?"

She nodded vigorously.

Remus thought for a moment, then replied, "Okay. I guess it's from Honeydukes, right?" Aurora couldn't help laughing: "That's too easy."

"How do you know?" Tonks looked at him curiously.

"Because you have confetti from their store in your hair," Remus said mildly, removing the confetti for her before Tonks reached out in amazement to grab her hair into a mess. , "Well, it's gone now."

"Okay, it's still yours." Tonks stuffed him the rose candy, ran his fingers through his black hair, and lowered his head to drink the cherry juice in the glass seriously.She didn't sit for a long time before she was called to another place by her roommate, and Aurora changed her seat and sat at the counter that Remus was in charge of.

She noticed that Remus' eyes followed Tonks's lively and slender back that was gradually disappearing: "Tonks is a very charming girl, and there are many boys in school who pursue her."

"It can be seen that it is so." Remus replied, and then withdrew the topic and gaze together, "Reculus Black has secretly joined the Order of the Phoenix, taking over your father's previous work assignment."

Aurora froze for a moment: "Really?"

"This matter is supposed to be kept secret, but Dumbledore thinks it's okay to let you know." Remus said while waving his wand to enrich the colorful foam on the surface of the drink, "He is the second from Death Eater. The members of the Order of the Phoenix who joined the gangsters."

"Then who is the first one?" Aurora asked subconsciously, and then realized, "Oh...Professor Snape."

"Yeah." Remus told what happened during this time, and Aurora listened quietly.

Originally, Regulus didn't intend to return to other people's sights. He kept a low profile and hoped that the previous rumors about his death would continue, which would be good for the Black family.But this time involving the law and Sirius' reversal of the case, he had to disclose the truth that he was not actually dead.After it was made public, he chose to join the Order of the Phoenix for some unknown reasons.

Perhaps it was because of this that Dumbledore was able to successfully protect him from the Ministry of Magic.

"Did I tell you that Sirius is the most special one in their family, he opposes and even hates the theory of pure blood, and he is a Gryffindor." Remus said, his eyes seemed to be remembering something far away, " But in fact, they came from the same family, in some places. Although Sirius never admits it, I still think so, in some places, Sirius is really a standard Black."

Aurora once again confirmed that the relationship between their generation was really complicated.And she's never been good at dealing with this kind of thing, it's a headache to think about it.

……

As always, the owl delivered today's Daily Prophet at mealtimes, reporting on Regulus Black.

Snape was not at all surprised that this Black would join the Order.

In his eyes, Blake is a bunch of lunatics.Sirius Black used this madness to chase his ridiculous freedom, Andromeda Black used it to defend her love, and Regulus Black chose to protect his family.Just like when he stole the Dark Lord's locket without letting the rest of the family know that he had changed his mind, the first thing he did after regaining his memory was to confirm his "death".

What a great spirit to lament.

But from this, Snape also understood that Regulus' concept was the same as Dumbledore's all along, that is, one day, the Dark Lord would make a comeback, the difference was only sooner or later.

As long as the Dark Lord had any chance of reappearing, it was impossible for Regulus to let his betrayal affect his family.After all, a large part of the Black family is a loyal believer in the Dark Lord.

He's not like that stupid dog's brother.

When he was still in school, Snape discovered that the relationship between the two brothers was delicate.But he didn't expect Regulus to help Sirius reverse the case at the cost of exposing his identity this time.

Dumbledore didn't stop him, which was to be expected.Because once Regulus reveals his identity, it means that he will openly tear himself apart from the Death Eaters and the Dark Lord. With concerns and certainty that the Dark Lord will reappear one day in the future, he can only choose to join the Order of the Phoenix. There is no way out.

Snape threw the newspaper away and sneered, not intending to sympathize with this Black, because the man who was about to be rehabilitated was one of the people he hated the most.

"What's the matter, Severus?" Slughorn looked at him curiously, enjoying the mead in his glass. "Nothing," he replied.

Slughorn raised his glass and said cheerfully, "This is the mead that Rhett brought me from Hogsmeade. Would you like some?"

"Thank you, no need." Snape flatly refused.The other party sighed regretfully: "Before I heard that the students were afraid of you, I thought it was because of your serious relationship with Minerva. Now I understand, Severus, you really should learn Be soft and kind. It is not a bad thing to get in touch with those outstanding students, you see."

As he spoke, he shook the mead in his hand.

"It looks like you got their favor easily, congratulations." Snape said dryly.

"Mostly." The regret in Slughorn's voice didn't sound much less.

"Wouldn't that be nice?"

"What do you think of that child Aurora?" He asked suddenly.

Snape paused while serving the soup, tilted his head and asked, "What's wrong with her?"

"It's okay, but I don't like to get close to people. I invited her to some gatherings among students a few times, and she always shied away." Slughorn continued to sigh after drinking the mead, as if a little Frustrated, "It's exactly the same as Newt's back then."

"Really." Snape agreed, but a strange joy floated in his heart uncontrollably.

"By the way, I heard that the Weasley boy was after her, is that true?" Slughorn asked again, "I think they have a pretty good relationship."

That trace of happiness was instantly crushed.

Snape's face was expressionless, and every word he said was as indifferent as a separated and fallen glacier corpse, slowly and horribly: "I haven't heard of it."

Why should he care about these?

Slughorn didn't pay much attention to the attitude of the other party, and instead chatted with Flitwick on the side.The breakfast time dedicated to teachers on weekends ended peacefully.

Four days later, Sirius Black was acquitted and released.

The author has something to say:

[1] The Ilfracombe Incident occurred in 1932 when a Welsh green dragon swooped down on a crowded beach filled with sunbathing Muggles.By luck, a family of wizards were on vacation there, and their bravery prevented casualties (the family were subsequently awarded the title of Sorcerer-First Class in the Order of Merlin) - and they immediately complained to the residents of Ilfracombe The largest range of forgetting spells in this century was used, so that the disaster was barely avoided.

The above is from Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them.

The spell imprint that Aurora found is a bit similar to the blood alliance but it is different. It only works on the wand, I'm talking nonsense.

Well, Godfather Dog is here, and the long-awaited Shura Field is coming, and of course the little abuse and the advancement of the relationship line are also coming.

Recently, I saw a lot of friends asking about physical books.This...ah, it probably won't be there, and there is no need to ask about the ones next door, it should be the same.After all, it is too scary to be reported.When the main text of this article is finished, I will mark it as the end, and I will release the Snake Badger ancestors, the first ancestor cp episodes, once they are all written.

Snake Badger Zu’s side story is completely over, because it’s already long enough [laughing and crying] I said before that it’s fine to write more other side stories in the physical book, just lazy hehe! ! ! ! !

Well, it’s still the same sentence, all I need to do in the future will be free of charge as long as I write fanfic, who told me not to write comprehensive... I also want to write original modern romance, if you like my style of writing, you can come and have a look together.

By the way, right now, I don’t have a Weibo or a readership. I registered for Weibo a long time ago, but it has been useless for a long time. It’s a dead account.There is only one QQ account in use - yes, I am an old man [laughing and crying]

Well, good night.
