[HP] Butterfly Effect

When we got back to Hogwarts, the rain was much lighter, and the lead gray clouds were still tumbling and lingering in the sky, and the ancient castle under the drizzle seemed lonely and deep.Snape sat at the teacher's table, looking out the window at the miserable green that was sickly from lack of sunlight.

The lunch prepared by the house-elves today is a traditional British dish, which is said to have been passed down from Helga Hufflepuff.

Sitting next to Snape, Flitwick was pouring the potatoes and cold-cut chicken breasts on the dinner plate with black pepper sauce and minced mint leaves, and asked him: "Listen to Minerva, this trial At the meeting, that child Aurora also went?"

"Yes." Snape replied, taking a sip of the pumpkin juice in hand.Flitwick shook his head and sighed: "Poor child, she must be very sad."

It should be.Snape thought about it, but Aurora was sitting on a chair, answering unexpectedly calmly in front of the entire Ministry of Magic courtroom.The color on her body is incompatible with the entire near-dark environment, it is too gentle and light, it looks like a thin and light ghost, imprisoned in a black cage.

It's hard to imagine that a 13-year-old girl can make a trial that seems to have a decided ending get the exact opposite result without anyone teaching in advance.I am afraid that the members of the Ministry of Magic who were present at the time did not expect such an ending at all, including Snape himself.

He had always thought that Dumbledore would be the one to play the role.

She doesn't look like a 13-year-old, from the way she looks to the way she behaves, especially in certain situations.And it's... very different from the lively and willful girl he once read in Edmund's memory.

At this time, Professor McGonagall stirred the soup in the bowl with a spoon and joined Flitwick's conversation: "Albus told me about Aurora's performance in court, and to be honest, I was a little scared Jump. That child is not very talkative and behaves in class. She will raise her hand unless no one cares about my questions at that time. She listens with a smile to what others say, and she completes her homework seriously. But Sometimes, I always feel that she is just used to keeping her own opinions, she is a very thoughtful child, and I can see that this incident is an example."

Dumbledore smiled and echoed Professor McGonagall's opinion, "Obviously yes."

"Because you don't have any conflicts with other people." Mrs. Sprout added in a timely manner. "I like Aurora very much, and talking with her makes you feel very peaceful. Sometimes you don't remember It sounds like she's just a child. But what do you mean by performance?"

"She asked the Ministry of Magic to withdraw my seizure proposal." Snape said without any ups and downs.

After hearing this, Sprout and Flitwick looked at him in amazement, until Dumbledore nodded in confirmation: "That's right, I didn't expect that either. She said so much that no one in the Ministry of Magic could catch up, saying Really, she's a lot like her father." The second half of the sentence was addressed to Flitwick.

Flitwick sighed, pawing at the food in front of him twice with the fork in his hand and said, "I still remember Edmund's appearance." Dumbledore patted him on the shoulder empathetically.

"But anyway, it's good that Severus is okay this time." Sprout took a bite of the corn.

"Yes." Everyone nodded in agreement, and the topic quickly turned to another direction.

Snape was slowly cutting the beef on the dinner plate, listening to the chatter of his colleagues, he remembered what Aurora said before he left, about the Daily Prophet.It is not difficult for him to imagine what tomorrow's public opinion and newspaper front pages will look like, and he doesn't want to care about it.What he really thought about was what kind of state of mind Aurora had when she told him about it.

If she could think of dealing with the Ministry of Magic in court, she could think that whatever the papers wrote would not be against her.At best she is a poor child who is driven to nowhere, and there is no need to worry about what the newspapers will write.

So what was she worried about when she said those words?

……

The efficiency of the Daily Prophet is always astonishingly fast. The day after the trial ended, this unexpected result flew to every corner of the British wizarding world.When Aurora came to work at the magic pet shop the next day, almost everyone was discussing it.

She pulled the hat of the raincoat even lower, and tiny crystal clear water droplets kept sliding from the brim of the hat to her toes. With her hands in her pockets, she walked along the edge of the row of shop doorways to the pet shop and opened the shop. Open the door, walk in, and start your day's work.

Aurora wasn't going to waste a few Nutters buying a copy of the Daily Prophet to see how unrecognizably they'd all papered over this.She believed that since Snape said it was all right, the matter would really pass after a while.Most recently, the influence brought by the Daily Prophet will make this matter the center of topic among wizards.

However, there will never be a shortage of topics, after all, the Daily Prophet will present new content every day.

By early August, the event will be mostly forgotten.The last month of the summer vacation passed quickly. Aurora spent most of her time learning how to play the acoustic guitar with Jeffrey except for work. She planned to buy this acoustic guitar after the wages of the summer vacation workers were settled. down.

When the school was about to start, Aurora came to the second-hand store in Diagon Alley after getting her summer job salary to buy some books for the new semester.This is the method Cecilia told her, using second-hand books can save half of the money, and the cost of teaching materials will only increase in the future, and it is a little bit of savings.

This wizard second-hand store is probably the largest store in Diagon Alley. It is not so much a store as it is a patchwork of several stores.You can find everything from books to clothes, furniture to all kinds of quirky gadgets here.

Aurora went out with the book list for the new semester that was mailed yesterday. Although it hasn't rained yet, she still chose to wear rain boots to go out. After all, just in case is always right.

After walking into the store, Aurora was guided by the paper airplane to the area dedicated to second-hand books.The books here are far less neat and orderly than the Lihen Bookstore. They are stuffed into the old brown bookshelves regardless of their categories, messy and crowded.

Aurora walked along those bookshelves one by one to search for the past, and found the book she wanted on a bookshelf by the window, so she stepped on her feet and reached for it.But I didn't expect that the moment I reached out to touch the spine of the book and pulled it out, someone pulled out a book at the same position on the opposite side.

Bright light shone obliquely from above through the hollow gap on the bookshelf, and just shrouded Aurora's face.She narrowed her eyes and looked at the other person who was also looking at her. His dark gray eyes were soaked in the shadows against the light, shining as beautifully as stars.Aurora was a little surprised: "Reculus?"

"Hello, Aurora." Regulus nodded at her.

Aurora noticed that what he took away was a book related to Defense Against the Dark Arts, just like herself: "Are you here to buy books for Beverly?"

"Oh, no, it's me." Regulus weighed the hard-shell box in his hand, which contained two quills, a bottle of ink, and a few parchment notebooks, "You know that Ollivander's store Where is Aurora? I need to buy a wand."

Seeing that the other party didn't say much about the reason why she bought the book, Aurora naturally stopped asking, but said: "Of course, but do you mind waiting for me for a while? I still have the last two books. I'll take you there with me."

"Thank you."

"You're welcome. Why isn't Beverly here?"

"She is still in Lihen Bookstore, there are too many people in the last few days."

"That's it."

After buying the book, Aurora brought Regulus to Ollivander's wand shop.At this time, the sky was already covered by a thin layer of gray clouds, the light gradually settled down, and everything around was erased from the bright and brilliant sunlight under that kind of sunlight, and became like those movie shots that have been color-graded in the computer .

Just entering the door, the thick shadows occupy the entire field of vision. The place is as crowded as when Aurora came two years ago. Thousands of long boxes seem to be packed in every corner of the store in a disorderly manner. The horse lamp on the counter is bright in dim light.

"Then I'll take you here, goodbye."

"Goodbye."

On the night of the last day of August, Aurora cleaned and tidied the room thoroughly, packed all her belongings and put them in the living room, and then returned the room key to the Hawthorne couple.

Before dawn the next day, she got up, put on a sportswear and a hat, and rode her bicycle alone to a mountain in the suburbs of London to watch the sunrise.

The road is newly built and can go all the way to the top of the mountain.When Aurora set off, the sky was still that deep and oppressive sapphire blue, and the air was full of abundant water vapor left over from last night that had not been evaporated by the sun, mixed with damp pine needles and the unique smell of the woods.

The more she rode up, the brighter the sky became, and the color that shrouded the sky and the earth like a hood was weakened layer by layer, changing from a thick and condensed dark blue to a thin to translucent water blue. The road and the surrounding forest are slowly becoming clearer.From here you can see the clear outlines of the higher peaks, which watch you silently but never seem to be approached.

Karen Carpenter's affectionate and long voice echoed in the earphones, and the never-ending song "Yesterday Again" accompanied Aurora to usher in the gradually brightening sky.

The shadow of the forest followed her persistently, and Aurora began to pick up speed.

The spiral gray road soon came to its end. Aurora jumped off the bicycle neatly without pulling the brakes. She remembered how many times she fell off the bicycle in order to learn Vox's way of getting off the bicycle.

After locking the car beside a tree, Aurora tidied up her satchel and began to trot towards the final top.

She was very lucky, and she did not miss the beginning of the sunrise when she arrived, and the clouds in the east were still milky white with light yellow.Gradually, the soft baby-like light began to become lively, rendering the colors of the clouds heavier, and the eye-catching golden color was hidden under the horizon, ready to go.

Aurora saw that the forest in the distance was the first to change. The dark dark olive color gradually turned into a clear emerald green. This change was slow and beautiful, like a hand lifting an invisible veil. , and then spread to encroach on your entire line of sight.It was a delicate flower wrapped in a decayed shell, breaking through the constraints and blooming to the extreme.

The burning gold burnt away the remaining darkness, and the turbulent rays of light were released from the sun in the center, showing unbridled passion and vitality, which was astonishingly bright.

Aurora sat on the rocks until the forest and the earth fully woke up, and the animals in the forest began to come out for food one after another.

Today is September [-]st, back to Hogwarts day.

……

As usual, the late opening banquet of the new school year is when the sorting ceremony is held.Aurora sat at the long Hufflepuff table, but her attention was drawn past the group of freshmen to the handsome man sitting next to Dean Sprout.

"Regulus?" She murmured the name in her heart and looked at him in surprise.Regulus obviously also saw her, and slightly bent his eyes at her as a greeting with a smile.

Why is he here?Is it the teacher of the new school year?

Aurora looked at him for a while, and returned a silent smile, but her eyes accidentally met Snape's.She froze for a moment, lowered her eyes subconsciously, pursed her lips unconsciously, and then turned her head to chat with Cecilia and the others.

The newly admitted Charlie Weasley was sorted to Gryffindor. When the Sorting Hat announced the result, Bill and Vox at the Gryffindor table were the happiest.On the contrary, Charlie was not so happy. He looked in the direction of Hufflepuff in a dazed and somewhat disappointed manner. Aurora waved at him and clapped with a smile.

The little boy tried to force a smile, but unfortunately failed.

And the girl Aurora met in the store last time who could change her hair color at will - Nymphadora Tonks, was assigned to Hufflepuff.Today she has dark blue mid-length hair, which matches the denim skirt suit on her body very well.

After the Sorting Hat announced her house, the little girl hopped briskly to Aurora, smiled and said, "Hey, I remember you, pretty blonde." Aurora made an empty seat for her and said, " I remember you too, Miss Shapeshifting."

"Call me Tonks, don't call me Nymphadora, I almost hate this name." Tonks said, sitting next to Aurora. "Okay, Tonks. Call me Aurora."

At this time, Dumbledore stood up from his seat in front of the dining table, and waved his hand to signal for everyone to be quiet. In addition to the emphasis on the Forbidden Forest and the Black Lake that must be said every year, this year also introduced a new teacher.

"Professor RA Spinney is our Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher this school year. Welcome." Dumbledore said, taking the lead in applauding Regulus who had stood up.

"Spenny?" Aurora repeated it strangely, she clearly remembered that Snape had said that he was Sirius' younger brother, a member of the Black family.

Looking at Snape's face again, Aurora wanted to laugh a little, he was probably the only one who could make the applause look murderous.His complexion was extremely different, and he looked at Regulus with hatred in his eyes, as if the other party owed him 800 million.

The relationship between these two people is so subtle...

Tonks at the side heard Aurora's repeated voice and asked curiously: "What's the matter, you know him?" Then it's better not to dress yourself up, "You know, I've seen a lot of people in the magic pet shop."

"I see. But I think he looks familiar, as if I've seen it somewhere before." Tonks nodded, twirling his fingers around his smooth hair.Every time she twisted her fingers, the color of the tail of her hair changed, which seemed more magical than magical.

"Where?"

"I don't remember, I can't remember for a while."

The banquet started, and all kinds of sumptuous food appeared on the table in front of them. The children were distracted by the delicious food in front of them, and quickly forgot about other things.

The author has something to say:

It's a leave of absence, Jinjiang bullied ordinary users like me, and sent a message to review for a long time.
