[HP] Butterfly Effect

This was Aurora's second visit to the Ministry of Magic, but the resistance to it was even stronger than the last time.

Having reached the Ministry of Magic, Aurora immediately let go of Snape's wrist and stood a little further away from him.She still remembered that she had attended the criminal trial about her father and Snape here. At that time, they both said that they were not familiar with each other, and it seemed normal to stand far away at this time.

Snape noticed her movement, and without turning his head to look at her, he directly withdrew his hand and stayed where he was.

Like the last time I came here, it lacked enough warm light. Layers of hazy shadows were nested in every corner of the corridor, but it couldn't blur the cold and sharp feeling here.Aurora felt that her feet had never really landed on the floor of the Ministry of Magic, but were separated by an invisible membrane, which made her feel that even standing here was quite a nervous thing.

Compared with Aurora's discomfort, Susanna is much more at ease.She took off her black lizard leather gloves, then turned to look at them, and said, "Come with me, Minister Scrimgeour will meet you in the interrogation room. Take it easy, it's just a normal question." , just for evidence collection."

The interrogation room was on the second floor downstairs, on the same floor as Auror Command.This is a very empty room, with only the dark brown of the floor and the gray and white of the walls. Even the wall facing the gate is a huge smooth mirror, so that those sitting in the interrogation seat can clearly see the room under interrogation. Every move of a person.The wall where the door is located is transparent glass, allowing one to see the dim corridor outside at a glance.

Forensics was done separately, with Aurora being the first.

She sat in the chair, with Remus beside her.The pharmacist from the Ministry of Magic just came in to treat her swollen and swollen eyes, and told her not to go near the snow for a while.

At this time, Minister Scrimgeour Auror came in and sat opposite her.He has very thick and fluffy long tea-brown hair mixed with thinning silver-gray. He wears a pair of gold-rimmed glasses. His eyes are similar in color to Mrs. Hooch's golden pupils, but they look more like Salazar. The kind of cold and brilliant.From his appearance until he sat down, there was not a single redundant movement in the whole process, and he was incredibly neat and powerful, giving people a very tough and decisive feeling.

Without any pleasantries or greetings, Scrimgeour turned over a few pieces of parchment in his hand, and looked straight at the blonde girl in front of him: "Are you a witness to this magical creature attack?"

"One." Aurora replied.The sound of the other party turning the pages fell in this overly quiet room, and it was so clear and piercing that it scratched Aurora's hearing like cutting something with a dagger.She took her own hand, Hogsmeade's Shewon still on her fingertips.

Scrimgeour didn't pay attention to her words, as if he didn't hear it, or maybe he heard it but didn't care: "Can you describe in detail what happened at that time? The point is why they all ran out all of a sudden."

Aurora froze for a moment. She thought the Ministry of Magic should focus on why these magical creatures were caught and smuggled, but she still objectively repeated what happened at that time.After Scrimgeour finished listening, he looked at Aurora with imperceptible scrutiny and strangeness: "After you lost control of your emotions?"

He twirled the quill in his hand, and the matte golden hard feather drew a stream-like bright line under the light.After turning around twice, Scrimgeour took the pen back into his hand, and quickly wrote down this passage on the parchment.Then, without looking up, he continued to ask, "Did he hit you then?"

Aurora straightened up slightly, brushing away the long hair hanging down her side face, revealing her somewhat red and swollen cheeks and three scratches.Scrimgeour glanced past her face, and nodded knowingly: "I can understand. Then can you clearly describe what they were talking about?"

"That tall black-haired man smuggled these magical creatures. He came to find another person to find a buyer. They should have a group of regular buyers." Aurora said here, and suddenly remembered something, "They also mentioned There is a man, who seems to be Anthony Wallson. He is said to have smuggled magical creatures from Africa to Southampton, and was attacked by Death Eaters and lost them."

"We have been investigating this matter recently, yes, it is indeed true." Scrimgeour memorized something again, his writing speed was very fast, and his strength was as sharp as himself.Each time he marked the end of a word, the tip of the pen would rub against the parchment with a short, sharp sound, as if to tear the pages.

"Tell me about how you met Mr. Snape?"

"After they went out, I was terrified and wanted to get them all back, but I couldn't do it alone in a short time. Professor Snape, I don't know when he came, but he was in It showed up when I was chasing a magical creature, and he helped me get most of them back. I don't know how many were in there."

Scrimgeour keenly grasped the unusualness in her words, and his golden eyes fixed on her: "If you are so scared, why are you trying to get close to them?" Keep your tone unchanged: "Because I feel that this incident has something to do with me, so I want to do something to remedy it."

"It turns out that your remedy is very effective." Scrimgeour looked at the bottom piece of parchment, and then looked at Aurora with mixed admiration and suspicion, "You have brought back most of the out-of-control magical creatures. You You know, you remind me of a piece of news from a few months ago."

As he spoke, he took out a shrunken copy of the Daily Prophet from his coat pocket, and then cast a magnifying spell to bring it back to its original size: "At the end of July, there was also an incident at the Magic Pet Shop in Diagon Alley Accident." He said, turning the newspaper half a circle, pointing to the slender girl in the photo, countless owls are flying out from behind her: "Do you look like you?"

Aurora suddenly felt her heartbeat go silent, and a slight buzzing sounded in her ears.Remus frowned and looked at Scrimgeour: "Even the best wizards can't control their emotions at all times, and the Ministry of Magic won't convict a young wizard for uncontrollable magical fluctuations."

"Of course, it's not a crime." Scrimgeour took back the newspaper and picked up the dumb gold quill again, "but you know what? I've seen little wizards blow up Muggle houses because of losing control of their emotions. I have seen a little wizard who caused a magic riot to make all the surrounding Muggles float into the sky. But I have never seen anyone whose magic power fluctuations have such a big impact on these magical creatures."

Aurora pursed her lips and said nothing.To be honest, she obviously felt that the examples Scrimgeour gave just now, such as blowing up houses and flying people into the sky, were much cooler than her own situation.She'd floated a basket of potatoes and cabbages and eggs, but never the Peterson triplets.

"You remind me of..." Scrimgeour paused, then seemed to realize something, "You are from the same academy, right?"

"Mr. Newt Scamander, yes, I have the same talent as him." Aurora replied.She hadn't meant to say it, but it was clear that Scrimgeour was not that easy to fool.

"It can be seen." The other party nodded and wrote down another sentence.

"Then that's it, we'll take care of the rest." Scrimgeour put away the parchment and stood up, shaking hands with Remus. "You can leave now." After finishing speaking, he turned his head towards the door just opened. Susannah who came in said, "Let Mr. Snape in."

"Okay." Suzanne said and left.

Aurora looked at Scrimgeour in front of her, and suddenly asked: "Sir, I'm sorry, can I ask what will happen to those magical creatures? It's not their fault at all."

Hearing this, he paused for a while when he folded the parchment in his hand, then looked at Aurora and replied: "Sorry, I can't give you a clear answer, it depends on the people in the Department of Regulation and Control of Magical Beasts and the law enforcement." Ministry’s joint trial results.”

At this moment, Suzanne walked over with Snape and made a gesture of invitation: "Mr. Snape, please sit down."

"Let's go, we're going back." Remus took Aurora's hand.Aurora watched Scrimgeour for a while, knowing that no matter what she said, she would not change the decision of the Ministry of Magic.She obediently followed Remus towards the door, and when she passed in front of Snape, she suddenly reached out and gently shook her wrist.

Snape caught a glimpse of her movement and realized that the crooked demon should still be in Aurora's sleeve.He quietly looked away, pretending not to see it.

The door closed, and Aurora walked down the corridor holding Remus by the sleeve.When she passed the glass wall, she tilted her head and looked inside.Snape sat across from Scrimgeour, with his hands lightly clasped together on the table, his sitting posture was formal and dignified, and the deep black piled up on him made him look like a cold and sharp shadow.

She looked away.

She felt that Snape should have seen her too obvious gaze just now. After all, from the perspective of blocking, the glass wall would not have any effect.

She shouldn't be like this, but it's hard to control.

It was an accident, but as long as Snape stood by and watched, he wouldn't have had to come to the Ministry of Magic at all.Those two smugglers had nothing to do with him, and he didn't have to bother to get them back.Although judging from the circumstances at the time, Snape undoubtedly appeared very timely.If not, the Ministry of Magic would not have believed Aurora's words so easily.

but……

He could have stayed out of it.

In front of her was the last staircase leading to the first floor of the Ministry of Magic. Aurora looked back at the corridor behind her.Groups of paper airplanes passed through the dimly lit hallway, and now and then one or two Ministry of Magic employees hurried past with clear steps, some cardboard boxes or other things in their hands.

Other than that, no one.

After reaching the first floor, the number of people here suddenly increased.Remus took Aurora's hand, led her nimbly through the crowd, and said, "Let's hurry up, so that when you take the evening train back from Hogsmeade, you may still be in time for dinner." Time. Remember to ask Madam Pomfrey to help you deal with your face, otherwise it will be worse tomorrow."

Aurora followed him closely, and only then remembered to reach out and touch the swollen cheeks and corners of the mouth: "I'm sorry, I caused you to run with me again, and your work was delayed."

"What are you talking about. But having said that, I was really surprised that he was involved." Remus said, looked around, and decided to take Aurora directly to Apparate back to Hogsmeade, the fireplace There are just too many people there.

"Yeah, originally this matter has nothing to do with Professor Snape." After hearing what Remus said, Aurora's heart skipped a beat, and she said softly.It turned out that I wasn't the only one who felt that way.

"I remember your friend Beverly is a student of Slytherin House?"

"Yes."

"That's not surprising. He is indeed very protective of the students of his academy. If he doesn't come, then Beverly and Vaux will have to come with you."

"I think so too..."

For some reason, what Remus said made Aurora suddenly feel a little lost.This very subtle but clear emotion lasted until Remus sent her to the train at Hogsmeade station.

As soon as she arrived at the school, Aurora saw Vaux and the others waiting at the gate of the castle, as well as Tonks and Charlie.

Although Tonks is the smallest in stature, she moves nimbly and briskly. She jumped off the stone bench, her long white curly hair spread out in waves on her shoulders, and her light blue eyes looked at Aurora curiously: "How is it? The Ministry of Magic What did you say?"

Aurora shook her head and said comfortingly: "It's nothing, just make it clear. It's just... I don't know what will happen to those magical creatures."

"It's good that you're fine." Charlie breathed a sigh of relief, then looked at her face again, and asked a little anxiously, "What's wrong with your face?"

"It's nothing, I was slapped by that person, and then..." Aurora suddenly remembered the Winged Demon in her sleeve, and said hastily, "I have to go to Hagrid's cabin, you go eat first."

Vox looked at her in surprise: "Now? Why don't you go to the school hospital first? It's time for dinner." "It's too late, I have to go now, I will go to the school hospital in a while, you go first Let's go to the restaurant. I'm fine, I'll see you later." Aurora held her cuffs, turned around and ran towards the Forbidden Forest.

"What's the matter with her?" Bill asked strangely, looking at the blond girl who was running farther and farther in puzzlement.

"Brother, I'll go take a look." Charlie was stopped by Tonks as soon as he finished speaking.She grabbed the lion cub who was just about to rush out, and rolled her eyes: "Don't you remember that you were detained for three days by Professor Snape? Headmaster Sprout and her dragon blood are still in the greenhouse waiting for you."

Charlie snorted, and the red curly hair on the top of his head immediately shrugged, and Bill patted his head with a sigh.The way Tonks looked at him, the sympathy on his face and the teasing in his eyes were very real.

……

When she took out the blue-green cocoon with soft thorns from her cuff, Aurora could clearly feel that the health status of this crouching demon was beyond description.Tiredly, it stretched its wings back to their original size, hung limply on Aurora's body and couldn't use any strength, so Aurora had to hold it and knocked on the door of Hagrid's cabin.

The half-blood giant opened the door while holding a teacup, then shook his hand, spilled the hot tea on the floor, stared dumbfounded at the Winged Demon in Aurora's arms: "Merlin's beard, you... where did you get it?" This thing?!"

"I'll explain later, Hagrid, do you have anything to feed it here?" Aurora replied anxiously, carefully touching the winged demon's wings.

"Eat? It eats human brains." Hagrid subconsciously touched his head, looking at the scarred Winged Demon with a horrified expression.Aurora quickly explained: "No, other common animals are also fine, such as... chickens, ducks, pigs, fish, or rabbits."

"Are you sure? If so, then I have a lot to offer it here." Hagrid let her in sideways, and brought Aurora to his farm.This farm is specially prepared for the daily needs of Hogwarts. The house elves will come here very early every morning to prepare all kinds of meat ingredients needed for the day.

"Go." Aurora squatted down, let go of her arms and let the Winged Demon hunt.

The Winged Demon shook its wings, and looked back at all kinds of poultry that were tilting their heads towards him curiously.

What followed was a bit bloody.The teeth of a crooked devil can easily crush the skull of a full-grown brown bear, not to mention these fragile fowl.Yaya crouched behind Aurora, watching the beautiful Winged Demon shivering as it gradually regained its energy, with its two front paws resting on its head and curled up into a ball.

"Oh, I have to say, it has a lot of food." Hagrid picked up two headless guinea fowls from the ground, intending to take them back to feed Fang and other magical creatures for dinner.

"It was injured too badly, and it can only recover by eating a lot of food." Aurora said, touched the Winged Demon that was obediently rubbing against her face after eating and drinking, and wiped it with the handkerchief in her pocket. Wiped it with some water from the bucket next to it.

The Winged Demon suddenly looked at Fangya lying on the ground trying to disguise itself as a carpet, staring at it with bright small eyes.Ya Ya jumped up from the ground with a scream, and ran out quickly, as if there was some big monster chasing it.

Aurora grabbed the wings of the Winged Demon that was about to move, and said firmly to it: "No, Fangya can't, it's not your food."

The Winged Demon let out a cry of disappointment, Aurora sighed and continued shaking his head.

"Now can you tell me where you got it? It's so beautiful." Hagrid looked at the aggrieved Winged Demon and asked a little funny.

Aurora touched it and replied: "It was accidentally rescued from a habitual smuggler, and there are many other magical creatures. They are all at the Ministry of Magic now. I don't know what will happen to them."

"Is this how the wound on your face came from?"

"Yes."

"Don't worry, the Ministry is much better off now than it was when it came to the management of magical creatures. They'll be fine."

"I hope so."

After simply having dinner in Hagrid's room, Aurora returned to the castle with blueberry jam, which was still alive and kicking, although the wound was still not healed - the name she gave the crooked demon.Originally, she wanted to leave the blueberry jam with Hagrid and put it in the Forbidden Forest until it recovered from its injuries, but the blueberry jam shrank into a cocoon and hung Aurora and would not let go, and Fang didn't seem to want to To live with such a ferocious and brutal magical creature.

New wrote that rightly, once tamed, crouchers tend to cling to their handlers and become very docile.

"Okay. But you have to promise me that when I don't let you out, you can only stay in your pocket and never come out in school, understand?" Aurora looked at the dangling fingers wrapped around her fingers said very patiently.

Blueberry Jam nodded with those star-like black eyes open, shoved into Aurora's cuff and disappeared.

The author has something to say:

Recently, my allergies have recurred again... I can't find the reason, and I feel tired.

It feels like from the Twilight fandom to the HP fanboy, generating electricity for love is going to empty out love [laughing and crying]

In the next book, I will switch to the present, okay?

The next chapter begins to involve some things about Snake Badger Zu.But the details still have to go out.
