[HP] Butterfly Effect

The forest is one of the most precious treasures created by nature. The dawn of life and the lament of death repeat here and there, overlapping each other and distinguishing each other, which together constitute such an endless green paradise.

Gilbert Morgan, a senior member of the Romanian Longhorn Breeding Association, soon came to greet them.Keitel and Adriana followed him and made a careful observation of the Longhorn that was kept here.

Aurora and Snape went deeper into the forest to find all kinds of rare potion ingredients hidden here.A near-adult longhorned dragon followed behind them clumsily and wobbly. Ten minutes ago, Aurora named it Durian.

Snape closed his eyes, deciding to pretend he didn't hear.

Knee-high ferns and dozens of other unknown shrubs can be seen here and there in the undeveloped and destroyed old-growth forest.Their branches and leaves are intertwined and overlapped, weaving a green net to catch the golden sunlight penetrating from the gaps in the canopy above.Unlike the open area, this place is shrouded in forests and is as dark and quiet as the evening.The dazzling bright spots on the slender and smooth grass expelled part of the darkness, and the light floated, quiet and brilliant.

In the distance, there was the rustling sound of animals moving away quickly. Aurora looked back at the durians following behind, and probably understood why she didn't see other creatures all the way in.Charmanders are classified as XXXXX on the Ministry of Magic's hazard classification - meaning magical creatures known to have killed wizards, or species that are unlikely to be tamed and domesticated.

Few magical creatures can fill these two meanings, but the fire dragons have indeed done it, and whether it is the top ten pure fire dragons or the hybrid fire dragons that have been discovered, they are all of this level.

No wonder the animals here can run as far as the durian comes in.

Aurora watched Snape skillfully remove the parts she needed from a pile of vegetation that looked no different from the one next to the leaf green watercress in her eyes, cast a fresh-keeping spell on it and put it in her pocket .

They walked for a long time in the forest, talking to each other very little, and there was a subtle tacit understanding in their actions.Throughout the afternoon, Aurora spent most of the time playing with the tea rolls and durians, while the blueberry jam floated lightly in mid-air, keeping a safe distance from the durians.

In the process of collecting potion materials, durian helped a lot. For example, with its huge and stalwart figure, stomping on the spot can shake the poisonous snake fruit on the tree so that it falls like a goddess.Aurora picked up a hat full, and when Snape said that the fruit used to make potions was still edible, she peeled one and took a bite, it tasted a bit like a mangosteen.

"What is this for, Professor?"

"Epileptic or dementia."

"..." After swallowing with difficulty, Aurora secretly stuffed the durian with the poisonous thorn and snake fruit left over after taking a bite.After the fire dragon finished eating, his big tongue stuck out and licked the girl's hand.

Gradually, the light and shadow in the forest changed.The west-slanting twilight penetrated from the side of the forest and illuminated the place clearly.In less than 10 minutes, after the ultimate light, it will be dark night.

They came out of the forest and saw Keitel and Adrienne waving at them: "Severus, Aurora, we have to go back to the hotel."

Aurora held a hat full of snakeberries in her left hand and a bouquet of goldenrod tied together with her own headband in her right, and ran toward them dangling.

Snape stood in a place out of the reach of the sun, watching those golden and brilliant flowers falling down with the girl's waving movements, falling into the setting sun all over the ground, rolling on her long hair of the same color, dancing and jumping like a ball of burning The golden flames are almost hot to the bottom of my heart.

……

After dinner, Aurora went back to her room to write letters to some of her friends.She asked Adrienne to take a lot of photos and send them to Charlie and Hagrid together with the two unknown flowers she picked in the forest. By the way, she wrote down her whole day's experience with durians.

Finally, she wrote, "The address has changed a lot recently, so there is no need to go back."

However, after finishing writing, Aurora realized that they were too far away from the UK now, and the owls couldn't send letters there, so they could only take the wizards' transnational mailing route.

Thinking of this, she knocked on Adriana's door and asked where the nearest mailing point was. She wanted to post the letter tonight.They have to leave tomorrow afternoon to go somewhere else, and it will be too late.

After listening to Adrienne, she readily said that she could take Aurora with her, and she happened to go out for a stroll by the way. Anyway, the only thing she could do in the room was read a book.

After they greeted Professor Keitel, they set off quickly.

The mailing point was at the other end of the town, and when they walked out, it happened to be the time when the shops and markets were closing during the day.The eastern sky is painted with a deep and beautiful sapphire blue, and the stars are twinkling.

Adriana ran into a 24-hour convenience store and bought two cheese breads and two bottles of milk with the local Muggle currency she had exchanged at the dragon breeder.It is not easy to adapt to the diet here in a short time.The two chatted while eating, and Aurora learned that she had visited Bulgaria, which borders Romania, in her first year working in the Ministry of Magic.

The country known as the "Kingdom of Roses" left a good impression on her.The Damascus roses there stretch into a sea of ​​red flowers, and the sweet and rich floral fragrance is more intoxicating than wine.Before receiving the admission letter from Hogwarts, Adriana always thought that she would inherit the old flower shop that had been in operation for almost a century, just like her mother.

She could name many flowers with ease, distinguishing precisely the differences between them, which were pure and which were hybrids.Before the age of 11, there were only those colorful and fragrant flowers in her world.

"Maybe when I retire, I'll go back to that flower shop again." She said this, drank the milk in her hand, and threw it into the trash can on the side of the road.Aurora smiled gently: "I will, you are so proficient in flowers, maybe you can breed a hybrid of magic plants and ordinary plants, and I will name them after you."

"That's a good idea!" Adriana laughed loudly and put her arm around Aurora's shoulder.

Go straight two blocks and turn right, up a hill.The mailing point is next to the slope, under a big tree, and a very inconspicuous old shop.

Aurora opened the door and went in, the space inside was much larger than it looked from the outside of the store.Six-seater long wooden tables were arranged in four rows horizontally, and many wizards were sitting in the shop filling out letters that needed to be sent overseas.After she took the registration form and filled out the information, she suddenly remembered that she did not have the currency used in this country.

Adriana paid for Aurora, and the letter was stamped with a special seal of wax, lying under a word Aurora didn't know, and mixed with other letters.She guessed that the word might mean Great Britain in Romanian.

On the way back, standing far away, Adrienne saw a burst of thick blue-black smoke rising from the west of the town.The sprawling smoke blurred the twilight of the setting sun in the sky and swallowed up the gorgeous sunset glow in the sky.The shadow of the haze quickly covered the entire town, and the thick smoke was still spreading, with obvious dazzling fire.

"Is there a fire?" Aurora stepped slightly, trying to see the source of the fire.It's a pity that too many building obstacles and too long distances hinder her.

"It should be, but it doesn't look like an ordinary fire." Adriana stared ahead, pulled Aurora into the shade, cast a spell, and brought the distant scenery to her eyes.

A rather familiar roar entered Aurora's ears.

"It's a dragon!" The two said at the same time.

"It's worse." Adriana's face became a little ugly after seeing the type of dragon clearly, "It's the Hungarian Horntail, the most aggressive, most ferocious, and the most murderous among the purebred fire dragons." A kind of dragon."

"It's not a dragon from the breeding base, right? No, it shouldn't belong to Romania, right?" Aurora said in surprise.Adriana shook her head: "It doesn't belong. But Hungary borders Romania. Except for the pass controlled by Muggles, the rest are forests. Hungarian Horntails often cross the border into Romania, especially during the estrus period. It's more common."

Aurora looked at the moving direction of the blue-black smoke, and suddenly said: "It seems to be moving, it is moving towards the breeding base."

"Go back to the hotel and inform Keitel and Professor Snape that I will cast a Muggle-repelling spell around to keep them away from here as much as possible. Quick!" Adrienne jumped out of the shade and ran towards the thick smoke past.

Aurora ran all the way back, got lost several times, and finally returned to the hotel.She grabbed the innkeeper who was still standing at the door watching the direction of the smoke, and quickly shouted: "Please inform Mr. Bourne and Mr. Snape in rooms 413 and 415, let them go to the breeding base immediately, please, as soon as possible! Also leave here quickly, a Hungarian Horntail broke in."

After finishing speaking, Aurora turned around and ran towards the darkest direction of the smoke, completely ignoring the boss's yelling behind her.

A young mother holding a crying baby ran out with the crowd, and was knocked to the ground by the people behind, and the baby cried even more fiercely.Aurora hurried over to help her up, "Are you okay?" Looking at the other person's dazed but grateful eyes, she realized that the mother couldn't understand what she said.

She took the mother and child to evacuate to a place with fewer people, then turned around and continued to run into the range of the Horntail's flame spray.

Along the way, Aurora saw that some wizards with special badges on their chests had rushed over and were busy casting Muggle-repelling spells to protect the safety of Muggles.Maybe they were Aurors from the Romanian Ministry of Magic, she thought.

Before she could finish thinking, a hand suddenly reached out and grabbed Aurora's collar and long hair, almost strangling her so much that she lost her temper.Aurora looked up and saw a woman with short brown hair frowning, looking at her sternly, and spit out a bunch of words that Aurora couldn't understand forcefully and quickly.

"Excuse me, can you speak English? I don't understand what you mean." Aurora said breathlessly, and her voice became a little artificially high because of anxiety.

The woman gave her a strange look, and said in broken English: "You shouldn't, come here. Go back!"

"I……"

Before Aurora finished speaking, the hovering Horntail spit out a mouthful of hot golden flames toward the ground.The hot air and sparks expanded and exploded. Aurora pushed the short-haired woman towards a safe place, while she rolled on the spot to avoid the burning of the flames.

Scorched black burn marks spread ferociously on the street, flames danced wantonly on the houses, inspired by the sharp and piercing crackling sound, and the thick blue-black smoke was its stage.The Horntail was flying in the sky, like an air king overlooking the earth, its golden pupils were as bright as cold diamonds, reflecting the surrounding Aurors on broomsticks trying to get close but not daring to get close.The next wave of deadly fire brewed in its nostrils.

"Keep a distance of fifty feet, or you will be burned by the flames. Hold this guy and prevent him from entering the breeding base!" the leading Auror shouted to his companions in Romanian.

In the next second, flames spurted from the Horntail's nostrils, pulling out a golden band of light in the sky.The band of light spread, trembled, and collapsed into countless sparks falling from the sky, and a fire meteor shower involved everything on the ground in disaster.

Aurora tied her loose long hair with a headband and stuffed it into her coat. Just as she was about to run out, someone who appeared behind her grabbed her back.

My shoulder hurts.

This was her first thought.This man was even more ruthless than the Romanian Auror just now, as if he had a grudge against him.

Aurora looked up and saw Snape who was holding his shoulders in front of him, with a pale and expressionless face.His slightly squinted pupils were so dark that it seemed that a ray of light could not enter them, and they were frighteningly gloomy.

Snape still had the fresh and rich potion smell that hadn't faded away. Compared with the hot and choking smoke in the air, it looked so cold and deep, reminding her of the lightless forest in summer night.

"I thought you would at least consider whether you are fully prepared before you act, instead of rushing to die like an idiot, Miss Field." He said, his deep voice fell into his ears and turned into sharp knives , as ruthless and mean as the knife saw blood, "I assume you intend to just stand on the ground and tame that Horntail hovering in the sky? If your brain hasn't degenerated to the level of an idiot like a troll, you should Know it's impossible! Adventuring is not a Hufflepuff thing, don't throw away what's good about your house!"

The disgust was just plainly stated on Snape's face, just like when he usually reprimanded those students who angered him, it was so obvious and extraordinarily glaring.

Aurora stared blankly at the man in front of her. For a moment, she couldn't hear or feel anything. It seemed that the disasters around her had become nothing but background white noise, leaving only the beating heart in her chest. There was a clear and dull dull pain, which was stuck in the throat and twisted into chains and tightened, making it difficult to breathe.

For the first time, Aurora realized with terrifying clarity that she cared so much about what Snape thought of her.She had always known Snape's harshness and acrimony, but what made her unbearable even more than this was that those sharp weapons were directed at her.

She doesn't want to disappoint him.

Or.

She didn't want him to see her like any other student.She wishes she was special to him.

This thought is so strong and secretive, it's like a virus.Aurora didn't even know what she was infected with, and it was too late when she realized it.She tried to kill this absurd idea, but heard the fragmented wailing in her heart.

it's out of the question.There is also a voice that warns yourself grimly, you have to see the distance between you, it will never be possible.

The girl's prolonged silence made it impossible for Snape to read what she was thinking, which he misclassified as resistance.He has seen too many students like this.Snape took Aurora's apparition to a safe place when another flame beam collapsed and fell to destroy the eaves of the house above him.

He frowned and snapped at Aurora who hadn't recovered yet: "Are you deaf, Field? What about your reaction? Now is not the time for you to be in a daze!"

The hornet and fire dragon's long and sharp howl brought Aurora back to her senses, and it took her a long time to find her voice and said, "You are right, professor, I really lacked consideration, I shouldn't just come here by myself."

After hearing her words, Snape's anger subsided a little, but her inexplicable pale face and vain eyes made Snape instinctively feel that maybe what Aurora just said was simply perfunctory for him.

He could see his own reflection in Aurora's warm brown pupils, but not at all what was going on in her mind, not at all.

It's not like simple Occlumency can do it, unless Aurora has mastered this spell, and from his observation, Aurora has no such talent.Suspicion flooded Snape again.

At this time, Keitel came out from the afterimage of Apparition: "Thanks Merlin, you two are fine!"

"Professor." Aurora grabbed Keitel's hand suddenly, and asked firmly and urgently, "Are there any magical creatures that can fly people in that breeding base?"

"What do you want to do?"

The author has something to say:

The latest chapter was stuck for four days before it came out, my God, it was really stuck in the rhythm of vomiting blood.
