[HP] Butterfly Effect

Sitting next to a closed window in the prophecy class, Aurora saw the abstract figure made of stained glass and began to cry, with transparent tears.Then she realized that it was starting to rain outside.

In less than 3 minutes, this gloomy drizzle turned into the biggest rainstorm since the beginning of school.The rushing water rushed over the windows, distorting all the scenery outside.The dark green Forbidden Forest turned into a mass of green paint dripping in the water, and the agglomeration spread to occupy half of the field of vision. The gray in the sky was heavy and damp, pressing silently and coldly above the head.

According to the prefect, the next two weeks will be cloudy and rainy.

In the past two days, Aurora didn't talk to Salazar much, and even if she did, it was all innocuous school gossip.She said that because Snape was substituting Defense Against the Dark Arts recently, she didn't dare to carry the diary with her at all times. Salazar shook the tip of her tail to express understanding, but said nothing.

But the fact is that Aurora can't talk to him about what comes to his mind like she didn't know anything before.Myrtle's death, the basilisk, the legend, the reason for choosing herself, these things weighed on her heart like a huge rock, almost making her breathless.

But Aurora also had a vague feeling that Salazar might have known something from his changes, although he didn't say it explicitly.

Probably because of the more than a year of getting along and many rescues, she has gradually ignored who the person in this diary is. Even if she sometimes jokingly thinks about the founder, she will not really Connect with the fabled Salazar Slytherin.

Thinking of this, Aurora suddenly realized a very strange fact, that is, when she first picked up this notebook, she really equated the Salazar in it with the one in the rumors, and then she slowed down. Slowly felt different, so much so that he almost forgot after he helped himself over and over again.

why?His attitude towards himself seemed a bit strange, similar to a kind of weird approachability, which was the biggest difference between the snake ancestor he knew and the legendary one.Thinking of this, Aurora unconsciously scratched the bridge of her nose with the tip of the quill pen, and her vision was still filled with heavy rain and chaos, the overly thick and cold tone extending miserably outside the window, soaked by the rain persistently.

She remembered the night before she went to the Ministry of Magic during the summer vacation, and somehow she had provoked Salazar.At that time, I said to myself: "Who do you think I am looking at?"

Salazar's reaction that time was terrifying, and he ignored people for two days.

Could it be because...

Aurora shook her head violently, shaking this terrible conjecture out of her mind.

At this time, Professor Trelawney's hoarse voice and the sound of rain came together: "Now, everyone, divide into groups and try to predict the future of your companions by identifying the tea leaves in the teacups. Let's start, children!"

As soon as Professor Trelawney finished speaking, Cecilia was surrounded by enthusiastic little badgers and lion cubs, all of whom wanted her to help her see her future.But if anything, the Gryffindors are more curious, and the Hufflepuffs believe more.

Bill patted Vox, who was sleeping on the table, and quickly said, "We've formed a team, and we need to look at the shape of the tea leaves to predict the future."

Vox raised his head sleepily, picked up the teacup and handed it to his roommate: "You drink first, I'll follow."

"..." Bill glanced at the boy who hadn't fully woken up, and sighed, "Let's go find Aurora."

"Hey." Aurora looked at the two partners sitting next to her, quickly came back to her senses, and put on her usual gentle smile, "Let me tell you first, I am really not good at this class, no matter what I say, you Don't believe it."

"It's okay, we still have books." Bill said, shaking the textbook in his hand, and then leaned closer to her, "So, now we can confirm that the monster that killed Myrtle was the basilisk, right? Merlin, this Gotta tell Professor McGonagall and Headmaster Dumbledore that this thing is damn long, God knows if it's still at school."

Aurora glanced at Professor Trelawney not far away, and took a symbolic sip from the teacup: "I heard that Principal Dumbledore has gone out recently and is not at school. Let's wait for him to come back. Let's check again."

"What else is there to check? Isn't it very obvious?"

"However, there are still a few places that are very strange. No one saw such a big basilisk killing someone in the school. And I don't think the headmaster and others would have thought that it was a basilisk with their wisdom. You must know that their knowledge is better than that of a basilisk. We're much more knowledgeable, maybe it's not that simple."

Aurora really thought so, if he could find out, why didn't Professor Dumbledore and the others find out, it's not normal.This idea seems very objective, but in the final analysis, it also has selfishness that Aurora herself does not want to believe.Salazar... at least the person in the diary doesn't seem like someone who would be so crazy.Maybe even that legend is exaggerated, Slytherin is interested in blood, but...

She suddenly felt that she didn't know what to believe. Too many mysteries made her trust and unconscious maintenance look so precarious and pale and fragile.

"It also makes sense." Vox woke up completely this time, then scratched his thick hair, his golden brown eyes were shining, "Let's talk about it when the principal comes back, and try our best to find it during this time Are there any other clues?"

"It's very difficult. What should be erased has almost been erased from decades ago." Aurora said softly.

"There will always be a way." Bill reassured.

"Hey kids, what's the result of your prediction?" Professor Trelawney came over and grabbed Vox's hand nervously.Her fluffy light brown curly hair was pressed a little messily under the headscarf, and her round crystal glasses slid to the middle of the bridge of her nose, looking at him expectantly.

"Uh..." Vaux tried to say something, but unfortunately he couldn't. He really didn't know anything.

Aurora and Bill glanced at each other, quickly drank the tea in their hands to the right position, and then set the teacups.

"Professor, this is too difficult. Not everyone can do it. We really don't have any talent, so we don't see any problems." Aurora looked at the other party sincerely.

"Don't worry. I will help you." Trelawney said, took a look at Aurora's cup, and her face suddenly became very strange.

"...What's the matter, Professor?" So there's a reason why she doesn't like the prophecy class, it's too much a test of mental endurance.

"Snake." Trelawney almost squeezed the word out of her throat in pain, her voice was hoarse than before, broken and piercing, like some kind of sharp glass cruelly cutting the skin, dripping blood The flower, shocking, "represents the extreme fear and extreme longing in your heart, which will one day merge into one. If you can't defeat it, it will completely consume you."

Aurora felt sincerely that this was not a prophecy, but a curse.Just listening to it feels like there is a lingering ominous omen that is entrenched above your head, ready to collapse and destroy you at any time.

Until Professor Trelawney announced the dismissal of get out of class, this bad feeling still lingered around Aurora.

Vox comforted her: "Cheer up, Professor Trelawney said that the snake represents only your own fears and desires. This is an internal cause, and you can overcome it. If you think about it, if it represents a certain Slater Lin, that is truly tragic."

Aurora and Bill stopped, staring at Vox with a blank face.

"Did I say something wrong?" The brown-haired boy was confused.

"Thank you for your comfort, it's really inspiring." After Aurora finished speaking, she walked forward quickly, feeling very confused.

"Be careful, all wizards know that two children who grew up together have similar growth environments, so their futures will be very similar to a large extent." Bill looked at him seriously, "Maybe you will The first time you drink tea, you will find a snake in the teacup, which may still represent a Slytherin."

"..."

……

On Saturday morning, when Snape walked out of the dining room and returned to the cellar, he opened the door and saw a fiery red phoenix flying in from outside, landing lightly and gracefully on the cabinet full of potions, like a cloud of red.

He took the letter and looked at it. Dumbledore and Regulus had already returned, and they were staying temporarily at the hotel on the second floor of the Hog's Head Bar in Hogsmeade. Please Snape go there immediately, because Regulus The situation is not good now.

To be honest, the Pig's Head Bar is really not a good place to talk, but Dumbledore likes to go there, including sometimes meeting with some wizards who are applying for professorships.So did Regulus, and Trelawney... so did...

Snape closed his eyes, and a flick of his wand burned the letter to ashes.He always felt that Dumbledore chose it there on purpose, because he knew he didn't like it.

The old headmaster's style of doing things is always the same, so friendly and kind that people can't raise his guard, but sometimes it always has a gray meaning.

The Pig's Head Bar was as dirty and dark as ever. The thick smell of lamb and a damp earthy smell unique to rainy days mixed together and permeated the air, making it almost choking.

The place Dumbledore chose was at the end of the corridor on the second floor, a room with a good view, and a considerable part of Hogsmeade can be seen.

When Snape came in, he saw Regulus sitting on the chair at a glance, his beautiful gray eyes were lifeless, and his face was as pale as a corpse, making him look like a delicate hanging marionette.Kreacher, the house-elf who was supposed to be at NO.12 in Grimmauld Place, also came here for some reason, holding the precarious Regulus tightly with his thin and slender arms, fog in his bloodshot eyes There was a haze, and he kept muttering something softly in his mouth.

Snape glanced at this Black, took out the potion he brought and opened it, ready to drink it for him.But Kreacher suddenly jumped up, frightened and excited like a cat whose tail was stepped on, and stopped in front of Regulus to prevent Snape from approaching: "No one can hurt Regulus in front of Kreacher. Master, no one can!"

"It's okay." Regulus swayed and propped up his body, his slightly messy curly black hair was stuck to his forehead wetly, he couldn't tell whether it was rain or sweat, and his clear voice was heavy with fatigue, "Kreacher, you don't need Worry about me, Professor Snape didn't mean that."

That's hard to say.Snape raised his eyebrows and handed the potion over.

The door opened, and Dumbledore came in from the outside, clutching something tightly in his hand: "I was afraid that his condition would be so bad that he might not be able to return to Hogwarts in time, but luckily you came in time."

"You went to Grimmauld Place?" Snape said, glanced at the elf who was crying and tremblingly grabbing Regulus's hand, the meaning was self-evident.

"Yeah." Dumbledore nodded, and then walked over to Regulus, who had just finished drinking the medicine so his face was a little relieved, "You take a rest first, don't worry, leave the rest to me and Severus." Good. You need to rest, don't think about anything else."

Regulus still wanted to say something, but the slight anesthetic in the red snake tail made him quickly fall into a peaceful sleep.When Kreacher saw that Regulus was not moving, he screamed as if he was tied to a stake and roasted alive.

It took Dumbledore a moment to tell him the difference between being asleep and being dead.Snape stood aside, his eyes twitching.

He walked to the balcony, the humidity of the impending rainstorm in the air was getting thicker and thicker, and the dark clouds in the sky were so dark that they wanted to crush the whole of Hogsmeade. The majestic singers, like a whole legion, sang in unison.

The hotel's thick stone walls cut off the already extremely weak light, and when the windows were closed, gray light and haze rushed over.

After appeasing Kreacher, Dumbledore came out and closed the balcony door, "Is he alright?"

"It would have been better if it hadn't been stimulated this time." Snape replied rather stingingly, and then asked after the other party sighed, "Why this time? I remember I suggested that he go back to Black's house , you have always disagreed."

"It was the kid Regulus who asked to go back. His memory is slowly recovering, thanks to you, Severus." Dumbledore looked at Hogsmeade, which was almost colorless under the cloud Said, "That night, he came to me very late, and said that he must take him back to his former home. He vaguely remembered that he had handed something to an elf. It was a very dangerous and important thing, and it had to be found .”

"Locket?"

Dumbledore raised his hand, and a brass-colored ancient exquisite locket jumped out of his hand, and was dangling by the silver chain, with a green snake staring at him.

"This is..." Snape looked at it in surprise.

"A horcrux." Dumbledore continued, "As we speculated before, he is making a horcrux." After finishing speaking, he put the locket back and held it in his palm, with no emotion in his eyes Revealed from behind the crystal glasses, carefully observing the locket, "He can indeed be called the most outstanding student at Hogwarts."

"This locket has been at Black's house?"

"Yes, since Regulus stole it from Tom."

Snape glanced back at Regulus, who was clearly not sleeping soundly. Kreacher was kneeling on the ground, loyally guarding his master.

"I think that must have been a very memorable experience." Snape could well imagine, but he sincerely felt that Regulus was very lucky to have turned out like this.He is still alive.

"And at great cost," Dumbledore echoed.

"The question now is, is this the only Horcrux he made?"

While they were chatting quickly, a sharp female voice came from the open space downstairs: "Stop for me—!"

The thunder continued, and the dark clouds drew closer.The blond girl broke free from the corner and ran all the way towards the bar, her long hair fluttering like a flag, becoming the only bright color here.

The girl behind her was tall, with curly brown hair fluffy like a furry animal, and with a wand in her hand, she cast a Leg-locking Charm at the blonde girl in front of her.

The blond girl quickly turned around and used a spell to neutralize her attack, her breath was very unstable due to sprinting.

"Don't try to run away with your stupid and ugly little bastard, hand it over to me!" the brunette girl snarled at her fiercely, there was an obvious bloodstain in the corner of her eye, as if she was almost dug out by something Her eyeballs, it made her look even scarier.

"No, absolutely impossible! It didn't intend to hurt you, Tonya. You thought it was fun first, so you wanted to use the levitation spell to throw it into the fire and burn it to death before it fought back!" Aurora shouted, holding the cypress wand His hands trembled slightly, but more because of anger.

Tonya almost burned the tea rolls for fun.

"It's just a useless pet, cheap and filthy!" Tonya glared at her viciously, "Just like your Hufflepuff house, it's full of useless pots and mudbloods! "

"Shut up! You are not qualified to say that!"

While the light was shining fiercely, Tonya found that although the opponent would not take the initiative to attack, she could not hurt her.Thinking that she couldn't subdue a third-year student of the idiot college, her anger suddenly became stronger, and she subconsciously used a spell that probably all Slytherins would use: "Serpensortial!"

An emerald green cobra flew out from the radiance bursting from the tip of her wand, its icy and flexible body wrapped around Aurora's arm, its sharp fangs gleamed coldly, and its scarlet spittle let out a scalp-numbing hiss Hiss.

"Ah——! Go away, go away—!" Aurora screamed and struggled, the wand dropped from her hand and fell aside, she took a few steps back and fell to the ground.The cobra nimbly wraps its body around her fair neck and begins to shrink, the cold suffocation gradually hits.

"Ah—! Cough cough...ah, go away—!"

Aurora randomly grabbed what was at hand and threw it at the snake. The blood in her body seemed to be blocked in her head, and she had difficulty breathing.

The satchel fell to the side, and the old diary fell out, making a human-like ethereal voice, soft and cold, speaking in a language that was completely incomprehensible.Almost as soon as the voice sounded, the cobra didn't move. Instead, it climbed off Aurora's body and began to bite Tonya fiercely.

"No! What are you doing?!" Tonya screamed as she watched it in horror.

Snape happened to see this scene, and immediately Apparated into the open space without thinking: "viperaevanesca!"

The emerald green cobra, which was still looking murderous just now, was burned in a sea of ​​sparks, like a ball of wool thrown into the fireplace, and disappeared completely.

"The... Dean?" Tonya sat on the ground, staring dumbfounded at the man in black who suddenly appeared.

Snape looked at her expressionlessly, and his voice was so cold that it slipped through the other's hearing like underground water that never sees the sun: "We'll talk about your business later, Miss Vincent."

He turned his head and saw Aurora sitting on the ground in some embarrassment, holding the notebook tightly in his arms, hiding it behind the pale golden hair hanging down on her chest.The torrential rain fell down in an instant, and a layer of gray rain curtain was drawn between the two of them.

Dumbledore walked behind Aurora at some point, put his hand on her shoulder lightly, and squatted down when she turned back tremblingly, "Don't be afraid, it's okay. Severus appeared in time, right? "

Vox, Bill, and Beverly, who came afterward, watched this scene, a little confused about what happened.

The author has something to say:

Congratulations to Snake Zu who lost his horse in advance! !Trelawney predicted the best in the game, Vox's crow's mouth achievement was achieved, and Bill's curse was achieved! ! !

The spell used by Tonya is the one used by the young master in the duel club in the second part. Although the translation of "Look at me snake attack" in the movie is very cute, but... I really can't get down to type these words...

Author: Boss, what do you think about the fact that you are going to fall off the horse and the comment area is full of "hahaha"?

Snake Ancestor: Drag them all to the secret room and wait to be loved by my pets!

Author: Is your big ♂ baby♂ baby hungry and thirsty?

Snake Ancestor: ...you go too! ! ! !

In the original book of the Deathly Hallows, Harry asked Kreacher about the locket, and said, "It was thrown out two years ago, did you pick it up?", which means that until Harry's fifth grade, the locket They are all hidden in NO.12, Grimmauld Square.

Kreacher's love for Regulus, I was so moved that I was horrified.

Finally, I pray that my most empty econometrics at the end of the period will be able to cross the line with [-] points...

The allergy recurred three times in two months, and I was infused for half a month in June. I was afraid I was going to be cold...
