[HP] Butterfly Effect

Don't use the Flying Charm on a Niffler lightly, because you never know how many unexpected things will fly out of its pouch.

The fluorescent light faded from the tip of Snape's wand, and Aurora looked at the struggling Niffler floating in the air and all kinds of jewels continuously flying out of its pouch through the bright light. The coins and decorations are simply stunned.

Snape withdrew the spell, and let them fall to the ground one after another, with a burst of gorgeous ripple-like light and dense and crisp tinkling sounds, which sounded beautiful and strange.The three of them stood on this jewel-strewn zenith, as if they were stepping on a galaxy full of twinkling stars.

The three of them chased this cunning little guy for about an hour before catching it. If it wasn't for being forced to the rooftop with nowhere to go, Aurora really felt that this matter would not be over so soon.

The strange man suspected to be from Hufflepuff College grabbed one of Xixiu's feet, scratched its soft belly vigorously, and shook out the last few crystal clear diamonds that fell to the feet, shining brightly.He opened the suitcase in his hand, then quickly stuffed the snuffer into it, then closed the suitcase tightly, and sighed softly.

He carried the suitcase, put the wand back around his waist with the other hand, and put it in the pocket of his trousers. With his head slightly lowered, his eyes hidden under the gray hair blown by the cold wind, he spoke too fast and He said frivolously: "Sorry, I hope everything you are looking for is here. It... has never been very disciplined."

Like Salazar, this man didn't like to use much force when speaking, and it sounded unreal and smooth, as light as a bird's feathers lightly skimming the water.However, unlike Salazar's somewhat feminine voice that was completely devoid of smoke, the person in front of him showed more imperceptible stiffness and instinctive defense.

Aurora was dizzy from the bright lights all over the floor, and finally found her pocket watch.Snape hadn't had anything stolen, but when he woke up, everything around him was a mess.

"Then, what should we do with these?" Aurora pointed to the ground, as they look like now, anyone who sees them will definitely be regarded as a thief.Snape glanced at her, and the deliberately drawn-out tone was extraordinarily gloomy: "This is not something you should think about and worry about, is it?"

The second half of the sentence was obviously addressed to the person in front of him.

After finishing speaking, Snape reached out and grabbed Aurora's shoulders, leading her to disappear into the apparition.

Newt Scamander, who was left behind, stared at the two people who disappeared in an instant, and then he looked down at the snuffed and stolen things everywhere, and shook his head.He guessed that the young man with black hair and black clothes just now should be a Slytherin.

If he was from Hogwarts.

……

The consequence of not sleeping all night was that Aurora could barely open her eyes when she woke up the next morning, but she really didn't want to miss the opportunity to look for birds and snakes in the forest, so she could only wash her face with cold water and swallow a piece of her in her mouth. The most hated mints to wake up.

She went downstairs to the table where Keitel and the others were sitting, and took a sip of the venison soup that Adriana handed her. The overly strong smell of mutton and spicy made Aurora spit it out immediately.

Well, she's fully awake now.It seems that if one day she wants to run around the world looking for magical creatures, it is very important to bring a pot with her to cook for herself.Or... bring a house elf?

"I heard that many people lost their things last night, and the room was turned into a mess. We are on a higher floor, and nothing like this happened. Did you have anything stolen?" Adrianna patted Aurora the back of his head, and had the elf replace the venison bisque with jujube juice.

Aurora briefly talked about last night's situation, obliviously eliminating the part where Snape was with her, and only said that she walked out of the room alone and saw a Niffler and a suspected Hufflepuff. Stranger—Adriana was from the Ministry of Magic, after all, and Aurora remembered the criminal trial involving her father and Snape.

Anyway, it was better not to mention Snape.she thinks.

Keitel nodded thoughtfully after listening, and then asked Snape: "Severus, what about you? Have you lost anything? I heard them say that everything lost was found on the rooftop Well, at first I wondered who would do this kind of thing, it turned out to be only snuffers. Now there are indeed some people who raise snuffers to try to find treasure mines to make a fortune, but let me tell you, people who have a little understanding of their habits None of them thought it was a good idea."

Snape politely agreed with him: "That's true, but I was a heavy sleeper, didn't hear anything and didn't lose anything." The breakfast in front of him was untouched, only whole grains Bread and jam.

"Aurora, have you seen that person clearly?" Adrienne asked while tearing the bread.Aurora shook her head, "It was too dark, I really didn't see clearly at the time, I only knew that he should be quite old."

After she finished speaking, when she turned her head, she happened to see Snape, who was sitting across from her, cast a very brief glance at her, and then looked away from each other.

Snape had expected Aurora to tell the whole story of last night, including his own.But I didn't expect that she didn't.

Is it because there are people from the Ministry of Magic here, so she chose to hide the truth?If Dumbledore had taught her to do so during the last trial at the Ministry of Magic, what was it this time?

Snape recalled it, it seems that not only this time, Aurora would do this many times before as long as there were people from the Ministry of Magic present.She would try her best to put her own affairs aside from him, and even if they had to be brought together, they would be trivial expressions.

More things popped out of my mind inexplicably, forming a subtle series.Snape thought for no reason what Dumbledore had said earlier - "No one taught her to do this, Severus, it was all the child's own decision".

He looked into Aurora's clear warm brown eyes again, no memory emerged from Legilimency, as if her soul was just a void of nothingness.However, contrary to the misty world she hides behind her eyes, she herself is too straightforward without any cover.

These two extreme characteristics are actually reflected in one person.

After drinking the sour jujube juice in her hand, Aurora said to Keitel, "Professor, shall we set off to find the bird snake now?"

"Of course, let's go. We have to walk the distance."

They soon set foot on this strange land of the far north together, slowly heading towards the famous habitat of birds and snakes.The extremely high latitude and the season of July make Siberia's sunshine hours surprisingly long. However, it is different from the vitality and enthusiasm of Romania and the gloomy gray-green of Britain. The sunlight here is too cold and delicate, set off under the pure tile blue sky, It is simply a piece of metallic color simulated from electronic equipment. When it covers the body, it seems to have no temperature.

The vast virgin forest here has not been destroyed by any artificial activities, and it stretches to far away.Under the cold golden light, the colors of the trees are emerald green, and a gust of wind can tear all those crumbling colors to the ground.The stones under my feet were still covered with a thin layer of frost, and they creaked when stepped on, which was the result of the low temperature last night.

At the limit of the line of sight, towering mountains stand there, and the coniferous forests all over the mountains are lush and dignified. The dark bronze color of the mountains is wiped by the sun and the distance into a gray cold blue that falls into the eyes.

When passing a river that reflected the light and shadow of the entire sky, Aurora saw one or two brown bears drinking water leisurely by the river, there were large elk and other deer species running in the forest, and foxes were waiting to arrest Snow in the cave Rabbits and squirrels stuff their mouths full with the fruits they just gathered.

The further you walked, the quieter it became. In a wet and cold meadow, Snape found the shed skin of a bird and snake. It was translucent, and the parts below the wings were intact. It was an uncommon and harsh potion. Material.

Flocks of birds flew overhead, panicked as if fleeing for their lives.In Keitel's eyes, this was a sign of good luck. He ran towards the direction where the flock of birds flew over, followed by Aurora, and soon saw a brood of young bird snakes that had just hatched , trying clumsily to crawl out of the warm nest.

Their nests are made of strong, flexible cedar wood and hang between the branches of Siberian pine.Birds and snakes can comfortably walk and climb around the branches of pine trees, and occasionally flap their wings and glide briefly in the air for a short distance to hunt for prey.

Aurora looked at the gorgeous blue birds and snakes entwined among the branches, but she still couldn't restrain her fear.Although birds and snakes are very different from snakes, they generally act in the same way. From a distance, they look like a group of slender and elegant blue snakes crawling densely on the trees, like surging waves. trembling.

"They're beautiful, aren't they?" Keitel said, looking fascinatedly at the birds and snakes.Aurora wanted to agree with him, but it was very difficult, and now she only had the strength to stand firm and not back down.

There is still a difference between the real object and the picture.Aurora didn’t feel anything when she saw pictures of birds and snakes before. She didn’t understand until she met a group of living creatures. There is a saying in China that is true. That's right!

She prayed in her heart, please just crawl quietly like this, don't stick out your tongue and hiss, otherwise she will really run away.

There was a slow and regular rustling sound coming from behind, and Snape reached for the wand hidden in his sleeve: "I thought you might be more interested in this."

Aurora turned her head and met a pair of huge olive green eyes and a golden beak, she took a few steps back in fright.

It was a bird snake that expanded its body to almost fill the open space. Its torso was wrapped around thick pine and fir trees, looming among the green tree crowns. Its head was lowered to stare at the four people on the ground. Its huge wings flutter from time to time.

"Don't move, everyone. Birds and snakes are very aggressive creatures. They will attack everything that tries to get close to them." Keitel said as quietly as possible.

"Hey..." Aurora tried her best to squeeze out a stiff smile at the bird and snake in front of her as kindly as possible, and slowly and tremblingly reached out to touch the mints in her pocket.She remembered that the jays would instinctively go after those leaping insect-like things, and if she threw a peppermint in one direction, the jays would take their attention away from them.

Her fingertips froze in her pocket, and finally found a candy that had been stuffed into her hand by a tea roll in her pocket.

Sure enough, the bird snake stared at the sugar in Aurora's hand motionlessly, with two olive eyes like two pure gemstones.Her hands trembled a little as her eyes fell on the slithering snake-like body and shiny scales.

After taking a deep breath, Aurora recited the names of Merlin and Helga silently in her heart, closed her eyes and threw the peppermint candy back, the bird and snake chased the candy and rushed out, its huge body flew over everyone's heads Rolling over, shaking off dense broken branches and fallen leaves.In the confusion, Aurora felt pushed, and fell to the ground face down like a stamp.The icy scales of the jays brushed against her long hair.

When the movement disappeared, she rubbed her sore nose and got up to look back. She was surprised to see that strange man wearing a Hufflepuff scarf last night standing not far behind them, holding a teapot Cover tightly.

He let out a sigh that was both a sigh and a sigh of relief, and then looked at Aurora and said, "It's a good throw." As he spoke, he lifted the cover, and the bird snake, which had shrunk to less than the thickness of a finger, poked its head out of it , chewing the piece of mint hard candy in his mouth, wrapped it around his hand and rubbed his face affectionately.

"Newt?!" Keitel shouted in disbelief when he saw the person in front of him clearly.Newt was also taken aback for a moment, "Professor Keitel."

Aurora stared at the person in front of her with wide eyes, her mind froze for a moment, what did she just hear?

"My Merlin!" Keitel ran over to hug him, happy like a child, "Yesterday Aurora said there was a man with a Hufflepuff scarf and a Niffler here, so I guessed It couldn't be you, it turned out to be you! You let that naughty little guy run away again, didn't you?"

Newt habitually lowered his head slightly, smiled slightly, "Yes, but I have found it." Then he suddenly seemed to remember something, "By the way, why are you here?"

"We are together." Keitel pointed to the other three people.Aurora and Adrienne were still in a daze, while Snape didn't show much expression after being surprised for a short time, only the inconspicuous surprise and serious gaze remained in his eyes.

In 1979, when Newt was awarded the title of second-class magician of the Order of Merlin, the Dark Lord tried to recruit him into his command, but unfortunately he failed.Newt, who has experienced the baptism of Grindelwald's dark age, is very clear about the purpose of this new generation of Dark Lord. He quickly left England with his family and settled in the United States.

But what really made him famous was not that he rejected the Dark Lord, but that he not only rejected the most powerful and terrifying dark wizard at that time, but also retreated from his grasp alone.Later, Snape also participated in the siege of the Scamander family in the past, but unfortunately found nothing, and was even embarrassed by the magical creatures who stayed there.

It was at that time that he understood that among wizards, there was such a kind of person who was called a natural animal tamer.They are actually the same kind as the Parsel Whisperer, but they are very different, but they are collectively referred to as "Natural Beast Tamers".The difference is that the snake whisperer can only drive snakes and other common animals in magical creatures, such as the Dark Lord. Although he has shown the ability to communicate with ordinary animals since childhood, he cannot affect other magical creatures except snakes. magical creature.

The "natural animal tamers" in the relatively narrow sense of Newt and Aurora are just the opposite of the snake whisperer.Correspondingly, snakes will give priority to listening to Parseltongue, and then people like Aurora.The more magically powerful snake creatures are, the more resistant they are to Newt's abilities. The most typical of them is the basilisk, which can be completely unaffected by this ability.

These two talents are extremely rare, and even rarer when they appear at the same time.

If Snape remembers correctly, the only snake whisperers and natural beast tamers who have appeared at the same time since ancient times and are still walking together are Salazar Slytherin and Helga Hufflepuff.

From this point of view, it is normal for the Dark Lord to want Newt to join him, after all, he has always been proud of his Slytherin blood.

The natural animal trainer can perfectly make up for the shortcomings of the snake whisperer.

Thinking of this, Snape suddenly became more and more curious about what happened in the era of the Big Four more than 1000 years ago.The founding of Hogwarts is a legend of its time.

"By the way, do you still remember the Aurora Field I mentioned when I wrote to you?" Keitel waved at Aurora, gesturing for her to come over, "She is also a natural animal trainer just like you."

"We've seen it before. Last night, there was an accident." Newt looked at the blond girl who was overwhelmed by nervousness and excitement, and said proactively and gentlemanly, "Newt Scamander. "

"Aurora Field." Aurora quickly took his hand.

The tea roll and another Bowtruckle emerged from their pockets together, and stood on Newt's and Aurora's hands, imitating the two men's movements and shaking hands.

The cute movements of the two Bowtruckles made everyone around them laugh.

The author has something to say:

Sorry, I may not be more punctual recently, it seems that I have entered a period of honey burnout, and I can't always code... Maybe it will be fine after a while, I will try my best to adjust.Hug my dwindling manuscript and cry.

Just take a look at today's... oh.

By the way, the relationship between the Snake Whisperer and the Natural Beast Tamer was made up by me, because... In the movie, Newt’s box does not contain any snake-type magical creatures except birds and snakes that are not considered snakes. No matter how you look at it, it is an invisible stalk worth digging.

And in the original book, it is true that Lao Fu said when he was still in the orphanage that he could talk to other animals, including snakes.So that's what I wrote.But my setting is that Slytherin's communication with animals is limited to all snake magic and non-magic creatures, as well as some ordinary animals.Natural Animal Tamers are the opposite.

Tsk, last but not least, Slytherin Hufflepuff is perfect.In every sense, right Helga? ! ! !

Helga: [smiling] Just be happy.
