[HP] Butterfly Effect

This was the first time for Aurora and Walkers to come into contact with Quidditch, a sport that has swept the entire wizarding world, so that it took them a while to figure out the rules of the game.For this reason, Vaux also specially borrowed a book from the library to read, and Aurora just waited to hear a condensed version from him.

Her curiosity about novelty was limited, perhaps because she was not a little girl at all in the deepest sense.Sometimes Aurora also tries to remember who she was and how old she was.She felt that even though her cognition had been regressed for many years, she lacked the freshness that a child should have, maybe she was already an old man who was dying.

But the fact is that what Aurora can recall every time is too fragmentary, and it can't even be called a memory at all, it's more like an instinct left deep in the soul.

And even something as small as these debris, under the pressure of the new environment and increasingly difficult courses, has become as insignificant as the beach footprint smoothed by the waves.More often than not, Aurora almost forgot that she was a traveler from another time and space, and the heavy schoolwork in front of her made her very strenuous.

Professor Binns is so confused that he can reverse the leaders of both sides of a big war; flying class is always a life-and-death gamble on the ability to act independently in the next month, and the moment he sits on the broom is choking the throat of fate; And the Potions class was already so difficult that Aurora felt like she was using her life to test Snape's bottom line and punishment methods.

Fortunately, since Hagrid helped Aurora establish a friendly bond with a Thestral cub in the Forbidden Forest, her fear of heights has eased a lot, although it also made her hate broomsticks even more.

As for the Potions class, Aurora had barely passed the minimum standard set by Snape many times.Anyway, in her eyes, this course is more and more metaphysical. She seems to be really poor in practical ability, but every time she can reach Snape's lowest acceptance level, and it is under the condition that the acceptance level fluctuates at any time. .

So Aurora didn't know whether she really couldn't learn how to brew potions or what was going on, but she was sure of one thing.It was Snape's expression and eyes that warned her that if she was going to play cat and mouse with him, she'd better never fall into his hands, otherwise Aurora would regret coming to Hogwarts.

Caroline comforted her, since she didn't have the talent to learn well anyway, it would be better to pass the line every time like now, anyway, the standard was agreed in advance, and Snape couldn't do anything to her.What you need to know more is that students hope to be like Aurora, stepping on the line and stepping on it.

To be honest, this kind of students who frequently step on the professor's bottom line are the most likely to be caught out. On the contrary, it is the kind of students who are hopelessly poor and not bad who are firmly in the middle are the least likely to attract the professor's attention.

I really hope Professor Snape doesn't remember her bottom line gauge in the next school year.

Aurora sighed, fine vapor rising from the gap in her scarf.She squinted at the snowy sky and the Quidditch team flying in the air. The Slytherin team was already far ahead of Ravenclaw. The Seeker in the blue sweater was trying to catch the The golden snitch, which was so fast that it couldn't even see its shadow, tried to reverse the decline.Four first-grade children huddled in a medical shed at a specific location on the ground, with the school hospital volunteer badge pinned to their chests.Inside the tent lay a Ravenclaw player who had just been hit by a Bludger.

Although the white snow had been cleared early this morning, it still quickly accumulated a thin layer.

The viewing angle of sitting on the ground is actually very bad, and the neck will be sore after a while.Moreover, the speed of the contestants on both sides is surprisingly fast, and only a few afterimages of emerald green and sea blue can be seen intertwined and dancing in the snow-white curtain all over the sky.Aurora simply didn't look up, and just used her ears to judge which direction the cheers were coming from.On the right is the Slytherin score, on the left is Ravenclaw.

Chajuan was tortured by the low temperature, and shrank in Aurora's knitted hat, unwilling to come out, taking the soft and warm cotton thread and the little girl's smooth long hair as her own nest.Aurora specially tied a small half of her hair on the top of her head to form a round ball, so that the tea roll could curl up more comfortably.

"Looks like Slytherin is going to win." Vox said, moving his sore neck.Beverly next to her didn't show any expression, she just hummed lightly, showing no emotional change.

"Are you unhappy?" Vaux couldn't help asking, seeing that the other party didn't respond.

Beverly blinked, her tone was lighter and colder than the snow that fell on the ground: "I'm very happy."

Vox opened his mouth, thinking that the other party must have a deep misunderstanding of the word happy.But looking at Slytherin's performance, Vaux was very worried about Gryffindor tomorrow.

Just as he was thinking, one of the Bludgers that had been drawing circles around the auditorium suddenly changed direction and rushed straight towards the medical shed on the ground.The extremely high speed rolled up the layers of snow on the ground like a storm, and the bitter cold wind howled and chaotically.

Suzanne, a nurse at the school hospital, was startled when she saw the Bludger rushing towards this side, and hurriedly went to the door to see the children watching the game: "Get out of here!"

Caroline and Aurora were rescued in time, so they escaped quickly.Instinctively, Beverly reached out to aim at the Bludger that was getting closer and closer in front of her. The tip of the thin alder wand protruded from the cuff and aimed at the center of the bludger, and a silent spell was ejected from the girl's cuff.

The strong wind, wrapped in ice and snow, blew open the curtain of the white tent, and all the nearby clothes hangers and benches were thrown away for a long distance.

Beverly raised her hand upwards, and the Bludger and the airflow that became sharp like a blade due to high-speed movement came overwhelmingly.The temperatureless tiny snowflakes swirled into a pair of sharp daggers and scratched the face, clear and piercing cold pain.

Just as Aurora raised her head, her eyes were blurred and pale, and physiological tears were stimulated to gush out, using her warm body temperature to melt the frost crystals in her eyes.The strongly stimulated retina cannot see anything for a split second.

"Beverly? Vaux?!"

"Get down!"

Vox knocked Beverly away at the last moment, and the bright red fiery cloak shook off to wrap the two of them, and they all fell to the ground.

Beverly silently recited the last syllable of the spell in her heart, and the Bludger changed direction the moment it was about to hit Vaux, and rushed towards the top of the tent above her head, breaking the entire medical shed almost to pieces. Make a big hole.

White snow fell from the hole above the hole, soft and white as feathers, and fell on the top of Vaux's head and Beverly's brown curly hair spread on the snow.Beverly blinked and melted the snowflakes that fell into her eyes, a large clearness appeared in her eyes, and she could clearly see the expression on the face of the boy propped above her.

Vox breathed a sigh of relief, "Are you all right?"

The long, smooth alder wand swished out of Beverly's cuff, and the end was in her hand, the tip resting on the Gryffindor crest on Vox's chest.Her voice has a frozen sweetness, which makes people feel pleasant but trembling in the ears: "Get up, get up now!"

Vaux was stunned for a second, almost jumped up from Beverly, and then stepped aside with embarrassment.His face was conspicuously rosy due to the combination of cold and excessive blood, and his golden brown eyes looked around blankly, unable to find a suitable focus point.

"How are you guys doing?" Aurora ran over, lifted Beverly up from the snow, and patted off the snow on her body, while looking at Vocks, "Did you get hurt or something?" Fuli breathed out lightly, shook her head, her small and delicate face was mostly covered by the dark green and silver intertwined scarf.

Susanna and several other nurses hurried over to check the two children's condition, and they were completely relieved after making sure that there was nothing wrong.Only Aurora's eyes seemed to be red and weeping because of staring at the snow for a long time, and the wind had just blown into them again.

At this time, a loud and tactful whistle sounded from the opposite side of the wide and white arena, and the right side of the auditorium was almost as loud as boiling, with whistles and cheers one after another.Mrs. Hokey and Aurora's voices sounded at the same time: "Slytherin won."

The Ravenclaws who left the field came to pick up the players who had accidentally retired midway because they were hit by a Bludger. Aurora retreated outside the medical shed to give them a little space in the messy and small tent.

She looked up at the Slytherin audience, who were all celebrating the news that their house had reached the finals.Only their potions professor who was always dressed in black, the new head of Slytherin, still sat in the same posture as when he was seated, his expression on his face was covered by flying snowflakes and chaotic shoulder-length black hair. His hair was covered up, so it was hard to see whether he was happy or not.

After the match, Xue also temporarily stopped.

Although the time for the final exam is getting closer and closer, but because Christmas is also approaching and a Quidditch match has just ended, the excitement of the children in the lower grades has not passed, and they are still staying outside the teaching building. Build a snowman or have a snowball fight in the open space.The senior little wizards gathered in twos and threes to discuss Hogsmeade, which they were going to go to on the weekend before Christmas, and to buy new clothes and presents for each other for the coming Christmas.

Aurora declined Caroline's invitation to go to a snowball fight together, because snowball fights between wizards are always related to magic cheating, and they are a hundred times more vicious than snowball fights between Muggles.She chose a bench not far from Vaux and the others, cleaned all the snow off it with her magic wand, then sat on it, opened her backpack, and began to write a reply to Remus Lupine.

She wrote down her recent situation at Hogwarts and some of her thoughts in detail. She used up four or five sheets of parchment, and her palms were sore.Aurora flicked her right hand, and the thick ink splashed from the tip of the quill pen onto the plain and flawless snow. The speckled blackness stretched and soaked along the grains of snowflake crystals.

At the end of the letter, she greeted and blessed Sirius Black in Azkaban as usual.Aurora missed him, more and more as Christmas approached, and Marianne.They were his only connection in this world besides the Vox family and Lupine.

She knew that Muggle prisons could visit the prisoners inside, but she wondered if there was such a rule in Azkaban.She wanted to ask Remus, if there was one, and she'd love to meet Sirius with the eggnog and ginger snail biscuits that Dean Sprout had taught her to make.

At the end of the end, Aurora wrote "I, like you, believe that one day he will come back innocent".She didn't ask Sirius why he was in prison as before, because Lupine would definitely bypass the question, and Aurora didn't want to embarrass him again.

She just misses that handsome young man who is full of spirit, unrestrained and casual, always dazzling like fireworks, able to light up the entire night sky in just a split second, forming a sharp contrast with Remus' gentleness and restraint, but still Incomparably harmonious.When she was at a loss because she had to adapt to this strange world and body, the presence of Sirius and Remus gave her great comfort.

"It's snowing again."

I don't know who said that.

Aurora looked up and saw the snowflakes fluttering down from the smoky gray sky.Her eyes were still very uncomfortable. Just halfway through writing the letter, things became more and more blurred, and she kept crying, always feeling like sand had entered.

She rubbed her eyes with a handkerchief for a while, but unfortunately instead of getting better, it got worse.Aurora looked around blankly, the overly pale snow field began to sting her eyes, making it almost impossible for her to hold back the tears.

Tea Roll poked its head out from the gap in the cotton cap, and its slender and flexible body hung down in front of Aurora, gently stroking her eyes with the emerald green leaves on top of her head, and wiping away the tears on her face.Aurora suddenly realized that she might have stayed in the snow for too long, and the wind and frost had fallen into her eyes before, so she developed snow blindness.

At this time, Vox, who was taking a break, ran towards Aurora while avoiding Cecilia's snowball: "How about it, is it finished? I'll take it back to Hastings... Aurora ? What's wrong with you, your eyes?"

Aurora covered her eyes with her arms and tried to stand up, but the letter paper and quills in her arms were scattered all over the floor.She clicked her tongue and frowned, trying to bend down to pick it up, but was stopped by Vox's arm holding her.He hurriedly picked up the letter paper on the ground, "I'll take you to the school hospital."

After finishing speaking, Vox turned around and shouted to the red-haired boy beside him, "Bill, can you tell me how to get to the school hospital?"

Just as Bill was about to say something, Cecilia's voice suddenly sounded: "Professor Snape?"

Aurora subconsciously turned her head to the side, letting her long hair cover her cheeks, and stretched out her hand to stuff the tea roll back into the hat, her eyes aching unbearably.

Snape was just passing by at first, and accidentally saw the familiar little thing standing in the snow with tears streaming down his face, frowning in pain.The snowflakes fell on her lightly, entangled with her long pale golden hair, reminiscent of the white pear blossoms blooming in the shallow sunlight in the morning.

Hearing someone calling his name, the little guy turned his face away subconsciously, as if wiping his tears with his sleeve, but it was obviously useless.Snape understood at a glance that a group of excess energy trolls were rampaging through the snow like a disaster, and one of them was unlucky enough to suffer from snow blindness.

He raised his eyebrows, maybe this little girl won't like snow for a long time in the future.

Vox hesitated for a moment, but still said: "Professor, Aurora's eyes seem to be injured, can you tell us how to get to the school hospital?"

"Having enjoyed this snowy scene enough, you really should go to the hospital to relax, shouldn't you?" Snape nodded slightly, his tone not much warmer than the temperature in the air, as slow as the snowflakes falling on his shoulders.Then he turned and motioned for Vox to follow him.

Before taking a few steps, Vox was called away by a Gryffindor, saying that Professor McGonagall had something to do with him.Aurora let go of his thick robes and let him go first, she was fine.

"Anyway, it's not the first time I've been there, so it's okay." She really thought so.And if Professor McGonagall asks Vaux to go, it must be something important.

"Then, thank you for leading the way." Thanks to Snape's love of black no matter the season, Aurora could barely make out the outline of the potions master from a crack.

Snape replied, "No need." Then he slowed down and walked ahead.

The acquaintance for nearly a semester and the affirmative thoughts that often popped up in his mind inexplicably made Aurora understand that Snape was a person who didn't like others getting too close to him.Even in the Forbidden Forest, Aurora would keep a certain distance from him, and would never bounce around and tug on Hagrid's sleeve like walking beside Hagrid, let alone chat and joke.

It's just that such a distance is a severe test now. Aurora tried to open her eyes and see the road ahead, but unfortunately she couldn't do it now.Instead, in the distorted and blurred vision, she staggered and fell forward. During the fall, she instinctively grabbed forward, and what she got was a piece of soft, rough, cold, thick and hard cloth.

It's like some kind of felted wool texture, but it should be quite old, with a lot of hair balls.

In order to prevent the tea roll from falling out of the hat due to such a turmoil, Aurora subconsciously covered the hat with the other hand, while she fell face-to-face in the snowdrift without any buffer.Frost and ice instantly invaded her nasal cavity and lungs, as well as severe pain.

She was absolutely crying out of pain, but it was beyond her control, it was purely a physiological reaction.

Without hesitation, Snape withdrew the corner of the robe that Aurora had held in his hand, and put on the cloak that had been pulled to the crook of his arm again, with a grim expression.The short cry of the other party was suppressed abruptly, then he sat on the ground holding his hat and raised his head, patted the snow on his face, coughed a few times, stood up staggeringly, his eyes were so bloodshot that they were covered with bloodshot eyes, It seemed that the bright red blood was about to drip out in the next second.

"Sorry, Professor. I just didn't see clearly."

While talking, Aurora rubbed the tip of her sore nose over and over again, feeling a little thankful that snow blindness took away her vision.She didn't want to see Snape's expression clearly at all, fearing that she couldn't bear it.

Did she just rip off his coat?

Thank you Merlin, thank you Winter.

Snape responded slightly mockingly: "Maybe it would be better for you to stay here and continue to adapt?"

Aurora chose strategic silence.To be honest, she regrets letting Vaux go now, she can't see anything, her eyes are so painful that she keeps crying, if not for the conditions, she would have to lie on the ground and grope away, moving forward like a snail.

How far is the school hospital?Will I be blind if I go on like this...

Snape turned his head for the third time, and saw that the little girl had deviated from behind him, walking towards a wall without knowing it.He pursed his lips tightly, and took a few steps to pull the little girl back.As soon as Aurora raised her head, she felt that a piece of clothing with a slightly bitter taste of potion and a temperature that did not belong to her was covered on her head, covering all the wind, frost and snow reflections that would irritate her eyes.

The severe pain in the eyes has been slightly relieved.

"...It's really a good idea, Professor." Aurora considered her words, "But this way I won't be able to see even more."

"Is it different from the way you were just now?" Snape pointedly pointed out her lie.

Have to admit, he had a point.Aurora shut up knowingly.

Looking at the little girl who was completely wrapped in the cloak and couldn't even see her toes, Snape hesitated for a moment, then frowned and picked her up very unskillfully.Then he noticed that Aurora froze all of a sudden.The little girl was as soft and light as a ball of cotton candy. Snape carried it with no difficulty. When he walked into the school, many people thought that their eccentric potions professor had found something strange from the Forbidden Forest. of the material.

"Moonstone and sprayroot." Aurora's voice drifted out from under the black robe muffled, with a tenderness and smoothness of youth, softly tickling people's hearing, she was passing through this She speculated from the residual smell on the robe that wrapped her airtightly, "Professor, are you preparing a demulcent?"

Snape's face was expressionless, and his voice was cold and mean: "Good discrimination, Field, but it's a pity that Hufflepuff doesn't get extra points. So shut up."

That's great, so that even if you don't talk all the way, you won't be embarrassed. It was he who shut himself up.Aurora shut up as she wished, and even relaxed her body.

Madam Pomfrey treated Aurora's eyes meticulously, and told her not to stay in the snow for so long next time.If there are too many times of snow blindness, it will seriously affect normal vision.

Aurora blinked her focused eyes, and everything in her sight returned to normal, but the bright red around her eyes hadn't faded, as if she had just cried.

"Thank you, Professor." She looked up at Snape and thanked him sincerely.

The other party did not reply as expected, turned and left the school hospital.

The door opened, and fresh, pale snow fell rustling at Snape's feet.

The snow still didn't stop.

The author has something to say:

After reading it after finishing writing, this feeling of accidentally pulling off the other party's coat, why is it so similar to Xian Sanli, Xu Changqing's feeling of Zixuan's clothes being ripped off?

There is also a certain Korean drama, the male lead pulls the female lead in a hurry, but ends up pulling the other party's bra...

Ah... so beautiful [No you! 】
