[HP] Butterfly Effect

All wizards who are proficient in black magic should know that the inventor of the Horcrux is the famous ancient Greek black wizard Herpo, the earliest known Parselmouth, and the first person to hatch a basilisk.But the person who perfected and recorded the Horcrux spells and production methods was Salazar Slytherin.

Therefore, from this point of view, Snape didn't think there was anything wrong with what Bork said.The Horcrux that disappeared from Bojinbok's shop more than a year ago is very likely to be Salazar's.After all, not many wizards are proficient in black magic, and even fewer are proficient enough to make Horcruxes, which can be counted on one hand.And if he hadn't made the Horcrux himself, how could he have recorded the function and production process of the Horcrux in such detail.

Most importantly, that voice.

Snape recalled again the whisper he had heard in Argert Forest.He has always been unsure whether it was his hallucination, or if he really heard such a soft voice that seemed to be talking in sleep, but now he is more inclined to the latter.

But there was one more question that Snape hadn't figured out, and that was why he hadn't gone to Aurora directly to ask it.That's how normal this girl seems to be.

Assuming that her diary, in which she had captured black magic fluctuations, was that Horcrux, why could she look as if nothing happened, still the same as when she was just in first grade?

A person has a purpose in everything he does. If his deduction is correct, what is the reason why the Horcrux came to Aurora?What does he want to do?Apart from the talent of being able to easily approach those magical creatures, Aurora really didn't have any other obvious shining points to speak of—that typical Hufflepuff-style meek attitude was not an advantage for a Slytherin.

Snape suddenly remembered the secret legend that had been passed down in Hogwarts for a long time and that every staff member knew - Salazar Slytherin's Chamber of Secrets.

The fabled Chamber of Secrets has been waiting for the descendants of Slytherin to return to Hogwarts, then open it, unleash the monsters inside, and purge all students who in his opinion are not worthy of learning magic.No one knows what is locked in the Chamber of Secrets, but Dumbledore said when Snape first became a professor and told him the legend, combined with Salazar's Parseltongue, it is likely to be A very aggressive snake or magical creature related to snakes.

What if Salazar came back by himself?

Wouldn't it be better to make a Horcrux and open the secret room by yourself than to wait for future generations to open the secret room without knowing it?He has that ability, every Slytherin will not doubt this, the founder of the academy's pinnacle of black magic is the tacit dark glory of every student who steps into Slytherin, Slytherin Nep was no exception.But now it seems that this glory is full of sharp threats.

Magical creatures... the gift of being able to befriend magical creatures.

Thinking of this, Snape waved his wand to extinguish the flame that was brewing the potion, got up and left the dark cellar, and walked quickly towards the headmaster's office. buoyant.When he first arrived in the hall, Professor McGonagall, who happened to be coming down the stairs, stopped him: "Severus? You came just in time, and Albus asked me to send you a message for him."

Send a message?It seemed that I couldn't find the principal these days.

"Yes, what's the matter?" Snape stopped, looked at the other party and asked.Professor McGonagall approached him, "Albus and Regulus are out because of something you know. I'll have to trouble you to replace Defense Against the Dark Arts this week. They left in such a hurry that they didn't have time to inform you first. If I remember correctly, there will be the last two lessons this afternoon, for the Gryffindor and Hufflepuff third years."

A third-year Hufflepuff.

Snape's fingers hanging under the black robe moved, just like he was subconsciously rubbing his wand. The expression on his face was not abnormal except for the confusion that Professor McGonagall had stopped him at the beginning. Calmly accepted this sudden substitute task: "Understood. I hope the inspiration brought to Professor Spinney by the medicinal effect of the red snake tail whistle this time is real, otherwise the principal will be very disappointed."

Professor McGonagall smiled, "Then please, Severus, I have two Transfiguration lessons soon, so I'll be leaving first."

Snape paused on the steps for a moment, then turned and walked towards the Defense Against the Dark Arts classroom.Because it was a short notice, when he walked in, it was already full of students.And Snape saw Aurora sitting by the window almost at first glance - there was no particular reason, it was just because she happened to be sitting in that brilliant light, and the light golden color of her hair bloomed A flowing beauty, so rich that it is impossible not to notice it at first glance, full of vitality.

She was huddled with two other Gryffindor boys, whispering something, a vaguely unreal rainbow projected on her hand.

Snape closed the windows expressionlessly, extinguishing the excessive scorching light on Aurora's body.

In the quiet and silent classroom, he flipped through the textbook Regulus left on the podium at the end of the last class, and noticed from the corner of his eye that Aurora hadn't taken out the old diary.She sat there quietly, waiting for her class to begin.

wait...

Snape suddenly realized that there was a big problem with his speculation just now - if Salazar's Horcrux came to Aurora so that he could return to Hogwarts to open the Chamber of Secrets, why didn't the school come to him this year? Any exceptions?What is that Horcrux waiting for?

Or, in fact, my guess was wrong?After all, it is all his speculation at present, and there is no direct evidence to prove it.

Snape thought for a while, and decided to use a conservative tentative method to verify whether his idea was correct or not: "Turn to page 75."

"Your homework is to write a dissertation on dark magical creatures, anything is fine." Snape finished speaking clearly and slowly, then glanced at Aurora again.She didn't move, she still sat in that position.

After dinner, Snape came to the library and found a book in the rare ancient books area that was not restricted/book area but required the professor's signature to borrow.It specifically records many very famous black magic creatures. It was written by Salazar Slytherin himself. It is the only book left in the world except for the one about Horcruxes in the forbidden/book section, without any black magic appended on top.

This is a very strange phenomenon. Among the four founders, only the founders of Gryffindor and Ravenclaw have enough manuscripts handed down to faithfully record the past life of this school.There are only one or two sporadic books written by Salazar and Helga, which have nothing to do with their lives at all. One focuses on the study of black magic, and the other focuses on describing the structure of Hogwarts detail.As if they had never really been involved in the founding of Hogwarts, nor had they ever known anyone else.

This has led to the fact that all the records about the four founders are half true and false, because about Salazar and Helga, only a few descriptions and descriptions can be found from some records of Rowena Ravenclaw. For the record, the rest evaporated like air.

The explanation given by Rowena is that a disaster occurred not long after Hogwarts was established. The flames burned from the basement and almost burned the entire basement floor.

Also destroyed in that fire were almost the entire manuscripts of Salazar and Helga.

This matter is not an undisclosed secret in Hogwarts. As long as you know enough about the books here, this weird phenomenon is not difficult to find, but there are very few people who can do this.If it weren't for the fact that when he was in school, he really didn't have any extra money to buy books, Snape wouldn't know the books in the library second only to Mrs. Pince.

He didn't quite believe what Rowena Ravenclaw said.It doesn't make sense that a conflagration could inexorably burn through the lives of two of the greatest wizards of the time is clumsy.But Godric Gryffindor affirmed this statement in his autobiography.

Snape took the book and flipped through it, and heard footsteps gradually approaching, and at the same time there were several familiar young and crisp voices.

"What are you going to write for this thesis?" Vaux looked at the few books he had just taken off the shelf, and then at Aurora, who was still empty in his hand, "Why don't you take two books from me? For reference?"

"Then you can refer to Aurora's thesis later?" Beverly glanced at him lightly, "That's a good idea."

Bill couldn't help laughing, and was glared at by Vaux. "I have an idea, but I don't know if I can find related books. I came here before the class, but I couldn't find it." Aurora replied.

"About what?" Beverly asked.

Aurora paused, and then continued to speak in the usual tone just now: "Professor Keitel told me about a black magic creature that is said to have disappeared. It is called a basilisk. They only listen to Parseltongue. And they usually live for hundreds or even thousands of years, like to eat spiders, and whoever sees their yellow eyes will die."

Snape froze for a moment when he heard this, subconsciously opened the book in his hand, and saw the detailed record of this creature on the first page.Then he thought of the monster in the legendary chamber of secrets—why did Aurora choose this kind of black magic creature that no longer existed in theory as the topic of his thesis?

Or, she knows something, so she has to choose this magical creature.

Beverly also sensed that something was wrong, and looked at the other party strangely: "What does this sound like..." Aurora nodded quickly at her, and Beverly tacitly stopped talking.After all, there are too many people here.

"Then let's find books about basilisks now, and we can spread them out," Vaux suggested.Aurora blinked: "Then what about your papers? Can't everyone write exactly the same?"

"You can write the thesis anytime, and you can't miss this opportunity." Bill smiled brightly, his blue eyes full of eagerness, "You must know that Vox and I's thesis on the history of magic was rushed out in the last few hours. Yes, don't worry about our efficiency."

"...But Professor Snape is much more difficult to deal with than Professor Binns." Aurora looked at him in disbelief.

"And the last day?"

After speaking, Vaux and Bill immediately swam out like two nimble fish.

"Gryffindor's courage." Aurora sighed, she didn't dare to be so presumptuous.

"An impulsive ghost who doesn't care about the consequences." Beverly commented mercilessly.

Snape had to admit that the two girls' evaluations were objective.

"Then I'll look for it too. You can look for the reference books for your thesis first. See you at the old location."

"Ok."

After parting from her companion, the blond girl quickly turned behind a bookshelf beside her. Snape closed the book in his hand and followed.

He saw Aurora standing in front of a bookshelf, looking up at the books on it, and rubbing the back of her neck with her hands from time to time.

Maybe through her, the answer to this legend can really be drawn, Snape thought.He is very confident in his deduction, but he does not intend to directly intervene in this matter now.If the notebook that Aurora has been carrying is really a lost Horcrux from Borginberg, and if the Horcrux really belongs to Salazar Slytherin, then such a direct and unabashed move is undoubtedly the most stupid of.

Not only can't figure out the truth, but it will put her in danger.It would be better to observe and guide the temptation in the dark all the time, and if you guess wrong, you can get out without a trace.

Snape thought so, when Aurora lowered his head and moved his somewhat stiff neck, he quietly pulled out a certain book above her head, and then put the ancient book in his hand on it.

The thick book was moved forward bit by bit by magic.

The moment Aurora raised her head, it slammed down from the bookshelf and landed in front of her, flipping through the contents with a muffled and loud sound.

She stared dumbfounded at the books in front of her, not noticing the dark figure flashing past behind the bookshelf.

This is a very old black leather book. When it fell, a thin layer of brittle fibers of parchment was even shaken off due to the impact.But even so, its contents are still best protected, the paper inside is flat and brown, and the writing is clear.

A big emerald green snake figure was entrenched on it, staring at the girl in front of her without blinking, her golden pupils were cold and brilliant.

This is the book I was looking for, there is no doubt about it, and it just fell in front of me inexplicably.

But that wasn't what surprised Aurora. What surprised her was that the writing on the book was clearly in Salazar Slytherin's handwriting.Aurora has known him and read his writing for a whole year, and she will never admit it wrong.The font is so flexible and gorgeous that it seems that it will come to life at any time, turning into little snakes and swimming up to your palm. It is so exaggerated and graceful that it makes people tremble.

Aurora looked around, wondering why such a precious ancient book fell off the shelf so casually?

There was no time to think more, the content on the page had already firmly grasped Aurora's attention:

"This kind of magical creature born as a snake whisperer is incredibly powerful, extremely intelligent, and loyal. In their long lives, they will only listen to the orders of one master, or a specific person appointed by the master. They will Very rationally screen out the order execution priorities of different people, and the original tamer will always be the first.

The breeder can train it to the point where only its own snake language can control it, and even if there are other snake language speakers, it cannot be surrendered.

……

They are extremely rare, as long as other masters are recognized, they can relatively successfully resist the magical creatures with the ability of 'natural animal tamer'.Not significantly affected by such human abilities, even if a natural animal tamer could easily approach any magical creature..."

A born animal trainer.

Aurora thought that Salazar could come to this conclusion probably because of Helga.

The above records are so detailed, including the changes in each growth stage of the basilisk and the development of various possible potential abilities, so there is no doubt that the person who wrote this book must have raised the basilisk, otherwise there would be no such thing. Meticulous records.

So, Salazar really raised a basilisk?And it still exists today, and once killed a student?

Aurora looked at the book in front of her, and for some reason suddenly remembered what Sur once said - "The secret chamber exists to wait for the descendants of Salazar to return, and then remove all those who in his eyes are not worthy of learning magic."

"You know, for some people, lineage matters."

And Slytherin has always been a blood theory, which is common sense.

Could this explain why Salazar's diary hit him so coincidentally a year ago?It seems to be possible...but it seems that there is still something missing.If the basilisk is hardly affected by his talent once tamed, why did Salazar find him?

She is not his descendant.

Or……

Aurora was a little afraid to think about it. Looking back on the year Salazar and himself had known each other, there was nothing abnormal, except... Occasionally, some questions about Helga might make him suddenly turn his face.

Helga, Newt.Talent, as well as myself.

"Why me?" Aurora stared at the emerald green basilisk in front of her and asked unconsciously.

The other party stared at him without warmth. Those golden and diamond pupils were exactly the same as the image of Salazar in the diary.

The author has something to say:

Ah... It's exam week, the last update.

It will be updated on time next Wednesday, and the snake ancestor will drop the horse next Wednesday. Welcome to watch the horse drop posture and pick up the snake ancestor in a fancy way! ! !

The Haierbo and the Horcrux at the beginning are official settings, and Salazar and the Horcrux are my nonsense. Everything serves the plot! ! !

And about that fire or something, um, I was just talking nonsense.
