[HP] Butterfly Effect

The real Slytherin, they are cunning and proud, shrewd and deep, ambitious but have their own absolute principles and bottom line, never bother to use despicable means.Perhaps compared with other academies, they don't seem to be linked to the virtue of loyalty, but that's only because they dedicate their only loyalty to the very few people and things they cherish.

It is a bright lone star in the endless night.

- the sorting hat

……

Hogwarts near the early morning was as silent and dark as if it had fallen into the deep sea.The pale and misty moonlight flickered by the stone benches and pillars in the corridor, was torn into nothingness by the shadows, and the moon hid behind the clouds.

Snape walked silently from the basement floor to the hall on the first floor, the fluorescent light broke free from the tip of his wand, and fluttered lightly in the air to guide the way, the bright light broke through the thick darkness ahead, and then the whole space was Refilled with the shadows that lurked beneath and behind Snape's feet.

The light carved his silhouette on the ancient rock-yellow castle wall, elongated, distorted and disappeared.He came near the Myrtle bathroom, and the closed corridor in front of him was as silent and oppressive as a cage. Shadows and lights were layered on the floor, reflecting a very deceptive black and white pattern of stairs on the flat ground.

Snape approached the bathroom door, his wand drew a strange curved arc in the air, and a faint halo of light rippled in the air.The spell that had been placed to prevent the students from approaching disappeared, and he walked in. It was not long before he saw a house-elf holding Salazar's diary respectfully, suddenly appearing from a field of apparitions.

Snape frowned slightly, not quite understanding that the helper Salazar was talking about was a house elf?

The diary floated, and the ethereal and slippery snake language came out from the flipped pages, like a giant snake spitting out letters in the dark night.The circular washbasin in front of him gradually began to open, and the washbasin facing the gate gradually descended, revealing the bottomless black abyss inside.

"Dear Dean, please go down from here and go straight, pass through an empty space, and then open a door, and you will arrive at the Chamber of Secrets." Elf Adara looked at Snape and Snape with big clear eyes. That diary, "Abyss should be awake just now, I just fed it food, do you need me to remind it, master?"

The second half of the sentence was obviously spoken to the diary.

Abyss?

Snape thought of the monster that was said to be locked in the Chamber of Secrets, waiting for the heir to open it and release it.

"I'll go by myself, you follow." After the voice finished speaking, the diary automatically floated and fell into the black cave, turning into a faint green light in the field of vision, like a firefly.

Snape followed into the huge black hole, followed by Adala the elf.

This is a tunnel, smooth and lengthy, complex and changeable.The air inside was rather stale, filled with an overlapping smell of damp moss rotting and new growth, the fermenting smell of old stagnant water interacting with microbes, and most obviously the stench of some rotting corpse.When sliding all the way down like this, there is a thrilling feeling like being swallowed by some giant beast, and then sliding down its esophagus towards the stomach.

When Snape landed, the fluorescent light just illuminated a piece of white bones under his feet, layer upon layer of new and old, it looked like a mass grave of bones formed after countless years.He lowered his head and frowned and roughly identified them. They were almost all the bones of some animals. Judging from the skull and leg bones, they were quite large animals.On those bones, the scars of the broken cervical vertebrae can be clearly seen.

"You're the elf of the Slytherin family, aren't you?" Snape asked, leering at Adala who was beside him.Aidara scratched her big ear and nodded: "Aidara's family has always been loyal to the Slytherin family, Mr. Dean."

"So it's also you who have been feeding the magical creatures that Slytherin left in the secret room?" Snape asked, choosing a general pronoun as he walked towards the direction where the star's green light disappeared.His tone sounded normal, without the slightest stagnation or vanity, as if he was walking in a garden full of blooming roses, discussing the weather and wine with the people next to him, instead of walking on the road to the Slytherin Chamber of Secrets.

Aidara bounced around beside Snape, seemingly not caring about the coldness and emptiness here, but rather enjoying it, her shrill voice echoed in the tunnel, with an indescribably weird feeling: "Yes Aidala's family has been working here since Hogwarts was established. Aidara and his family only obey the orders of Mr. Slytherin, and they have to come to feed Abyss regularly, and return to Hogwarts at ordinary times. In the kitchen, join the other elves in taking care of the Hogwarts students."

When Snape heard this, he understood why Salazar wanted Aidara.Because the elves only obey the Slytherin family, they are not even under the authority of the headmaster of Hogwarts. They are only loyal to Slytherin and his heirs.They can apparate freely at Hogwarts, and can enter the Chamber of Secrets without Parseltongue.And given how loyal house-elves are to the families they serve, there's no need to worry about them becoming leakers in the Chamber of Secrets.

The Slytherin Chamber of Secrets has been preserved and passed down through this obvious and extremely concealed method.

After all, who would have thought that a house-elf could know where the Chamber of Secrets was and could come and go as he pleased?

Great wisdom.He thought so.

I don't know how long he walked in it, Snape had the illusion that time was completely broken here.Finally, a dark green light appeared at the end of the road.

The Chamber of Secrets has arrived.

Snape paused, subconsciously grasping the wand in his hand.

……

Hufflepuffs are always privileged in the kitchen, it's an unspoken secret among the badgers.

There were two more days until the Potions paper due date and classroom tests, and Aurora, like many other Hufflepuffs, was burning the midnight oil.She lay on the bed, covered the quilt tightly over her head, and held a magic wand in her left hand to light up a not-so-bright fluorescent flash, her feet were hooked up and dangling together, and there was a plate next to the book. Pancakes that have been eaten.

She guessed it was very late now, everything was quiet, and she was still very sleepy.The potion formulas and uses written in the books all began to move, turning into balls of wool rolling around in her sight, unable to grasp them.

Aurora patted her face, forcing herself to cheer up and continue reading, but unfortunately she felt hungry after a while.She let out a long sigh, buried her face in the book, with the familiar aroma of ink lingering at the tip of her nose, howling in her heart, scratching her fingers through her long hair, wishing she could turn herself into a velvet.

Why do I always feel sleepy or hungry when I read Potions... Why do I feel so exhausted, as if I have walked through the end of the world, even though I haven't read anything yet.During the day, Professor Keitel also said that starting from the sixth grade, she should choose courses based on her future career. Aurora felt that she really needed to seriously consider her future career, otherwise her hairline would probably look like a global change. The warm alpine snow line is shrinking day by day.

But she was Hufflepuff, and Potions was the only subject in which she and Snape had an overlap.If she didn't take the subject, it meant she might not even have a word with Snape for the last two years at Hogwarts.

Thinking of this, Aurora bit the tip of the quill in distress, feeling that this option was a proposition.

She found that she was like the little mermaid in Andersen's works. In order to meet the prince, she chose her legs, and then walked on sharp knives every step of the way. This metaphor is too vivid.

Some things are destined to have no results from the beginning, wishful thinking means willing to bet and admit defeat.

These are the wise words of the senior Gryffindors in the second grade after being rejected by Slytherin's courtesan, Sur Garcia.

What's more...

She looked down at the Potions textbook in front of her, which made her frown in pain at a glance, and thought even more depressingly that she had tried her best and could only reach this level, so what else could she think about.

Too deep thinking made the sugar in the body consume more, Aurora lay paralyzed on the bed, her stomach growling with hunger.She closed her eyes for a while, then got up resignedly, put on her coat and shoes, walked towards the kitchen next to the dormitory with disheveled hair, and decided to go to Aidara to see if she could get something to eat.

However, what she didn't expect was that Aidara was not in the kitchen, but there were two other Gryffindor students who came with her to find something to eat in the middle of the night, Vox and Bill.

"You two also came here to look for food?" Aurora looked at the two of them in surprise, and then skillfully found some biscuits and cheese from the kitchen, "Let's go together."

Bill cast a grateful look at Aurora, then took a bite of a piece of cheese: "Because we're in solitary, we missed dinner. What about you?"

"I'm just hungry, I just read the book. Although I didn't read anything..." Aurora shrugged and replied with a helpless tone, and took a bite of the biscuit.Vox nodded understandingly: "The Potions exam is coming soon, and many people in our academy have started to stay up all night to study."

Saying that, the three people who were crowded together sighed at the same time.

At this time, a short and dull bang suddenly came from one end of the basement, as if a group of heavily armed cavalry rushed through the air, crushing a thunderstorm.With half a biscuit in her mouth, Aurora identified the direction of the sound for a while, and found that it was Helga's room.

"What's the sound?" Vox looked up and listened for a while, then got up and walked to the door to open a crack, and looked outside, "It seems to be coming from over there."

Bill and Aurora also came over and looked at the darkness outside the door together.A ray of light suddenly appeared in the air, slowly, slowly expanded and extended, flowing out from behind a door like golden honey that melted all over the ground.Aurora was even more sure that it was Helga's room, which was supposed to be hidden by Dumbledore's magic, but now it was suddenly opened again for some unknown reason.

There was a gloomy and soft snake hissing sound, which made people's scalp tingling clearly, and it fell into her ears, making Aurora tremble.She couldn't help taking a step back, and stared at the warm yellow light with wide eyes: "There is the sound of a snake!"

"Snake?!" Bill subconsciously looked at the ground and then at the ceiling, "Where did the snake come from?" Vox turned to look at Aurora's pale face under the dim light, and said, "You heard What is it? From where?"

Aurora pointed to the direction of the light: "There."

"Go and have a look." Vaux and Bill exchanged glances, opened the door and walked out towards the source of the light.Aurora froze for a moment, and quickly wanted to hold them back: "Hey, you..."

But before she could finish speaking, two lion cubs ran towards the half-open door.Aurora hesitated for a moment, but had no choice but to follow.

Before pushing open the door and walking into the room, Aurora grabbed Vaux's sleeve nervously for no reason, her voice was erratic like a ghost trying to hide, revealing deep anxiety: "Or forget it, let's go back Come on, don't go in."

She still remembered the monster behind the stone door desperately trying to break in after falling in last time, and it sounded like this.No doubt it's still there.

Bill reassured her that it was fine, anyway, there were very few professors on the basement floor to watch the night, and the eighth floor where Gryffindor was located was the key point.Vox pushed open the door in front of him and looked inside: "Strange, what is this room for? Why didn't I notice that there is another room here when I came here?"

"But……"

"This... seems to be a girl's room." Bill stood there scratching his head in embarrassment as he spoke.Vaux agreed, and withdrew his hand on the door resentfully: "It seems that we have just left, we still..."

Before he finished speaking, Bill suddenly patted him on the shoulder, pointing to the hazy green light in the air: "What is that?"

Vox took a step sideways, and was startled when he saw the source of the green light: "This...isn't this the symbol of Slytherin?" The two giant snakes on the stone gate were staring at him coldly, with dark green The pupils of the jewels are radiantly floating, as if they were alive.

"It is indeed the symbol of Slytherin." Bill nodded.Aurora stood at the door and listened for a while, and found that the disturbing hissing sound was gone, replaced by a very slight cheerful voice, and this voice was quite familiar.

"Aidara?" She was stunned for a moment, then cautiously approached the stone door, reached out and touched the wall in front of her, leaned her head against it and listened for a while, "Aidara? Are you inside?"

The voice inside stopped for a moment, and then, that small voice responded to her: "Aurora? It's Aidara, Aidara is here!"

After hearing this, Aurora broke out in a cold sweat. If Aidara is behind the stone gate, what about the snake? !

"Aidara?! Why are you in there? How are you?" She walked in the direction of the clearest voice, and reached out to pat the stone door full of reliefs of giant snakes, "Aidara...eh?"

Before Aurora finished speaking, she just put her hand on it when the stone door, which was closed without a single gap, suddenly slid open a narrow distance to both sides, and the world behind the door was encroached by the rich and full forest green. her sight.In the next second, her whole body fell into it due to an inexplicable suction force, as if someone grabbed her collar and dragged her in unceremoniously.

As a result of her face being on the ground, Aurora was almost forced to cry by the severe pain from the tip of her nose.She got up and saw that she seemed to have come to a green underwater world full of algae. Everything here was...

too green.

Aurora blinked, confused as to why she felt this way.Because the background color and most of the colors of the room are actually black, silver gray and silver white, the proportion of green is not high.But that color is full of vitality and very aggressive, so rich that it will melt at any time, it can make people's eyes notice it at the first time, so that others are ignored.

Then Aurora discovered the reason, it was because of the light here.It was a rippling pale green that floated on everything including the air, projecting from the ceiling.The ceiling is in the shape of a huge dome, carved with many complicated patterns that Aurora can't see, like a mass of lush thorns, it looks very sharp.

"Aurora."

She lowered her head and saw Aidara was kneeling in front of her, tilting her head, and said joyfully, "Good evening."

"Where is... here?" Aurora looked around in horror, the light green dim rippled water shrouded her body, making her look even thinner and panicked.

"This is the Chamber of Secrets, Mr. Salazar Slytherin's Chamber of Secrets. He let you in." Aidala replied with a smile.

"Why... why?" Aurora found that it was too difficult to control her tongue from trembling, she tried her best to curl herself into a ball, the thick dark green carpet under her palm was soft, and it felt frightening and sinister to the touch gentle.

Fortunately, no snakes were seen in the room for the time being.

"Aidara doesn't know either, but Aidara guesses it might be because of it." Aidara pointed behind Aurora.

She turned her head and saw a portrait of a girl with pale blond hair hanging on the wall.The other party was sitting on the window sill in the portrait, opened the curtain covering him, wore a wreath made of blue-purple sage on his head, and looked at her with a smile: "Good evening, little cutie, I hope Hastily inviting you in didn't scare you."

She... looks... and herself...

Aurora touched her face and long hair in a daze, and then reacted tremblingly: "You are...you are Helga Hufflepuff?!"

"Guess right!" The girl snapped her fingers joyfully, and a string of golden butterflies transformed by magic flew out from her white and tender fingertips.She jumped down from the window sill, the goose yellow skirt unfurled and fell, light green flower branches spread over it, her movements were light and graceful like a dancer, her voice was gentle, her blue pupils were the sunny Atlantic Ocean, sparkling Meili: "So what about you?"

Helga's gentle and harmless temperament made Aurora say her name very unpreparedly.However, when she finished speaking, Helga looked at her and laughed, with a crisp voice like a wind chime: "Sorry, I should have thought of it earlier. We are a family, right? I'm so sorry, I didn't mean to laugh at you, I just thought it was funny that we were both looking in a mirror. Hope you don't mind."

Aurora also wanted to laugh with her, but unfortunately she couldn't laugh, so she could only say dryly: "Yeah, maybe... that's why Mr. Slytherin didn't kill me in the first place..."

After Helga finished listening, a layer of haze suddenly shrouded her bright and beautiful face.She tugged at the corner of her mouth, and said in a smooth and beautiful voice, "I see, it's really surprising, isn't it?"

"...Hehehehe...Yeah..." Aurora replied with a dry smile, and then realized that she might have said the wrong thing.

"By the way, I..."

Before she finished speaking, Helga suddenly stretched out her index finger and pressed her lips to silence Aurora: "Someone is coming in outside, I think you'd better hide."

Into the chamber?Aurora subconsciously thought of Dumbledore and Snape.If seen, it would be really difficult to explain how he came here.What's more, it's long past the curfew time, and she shouldn't be here.

But where can she hide?

Looking around the entire secret room, Aurora decisively and skillfully got into the bottom of the bed covered with the pine-green sheet hanging down to the floor the second the door opened.

The door opened and she heard someone come in.

In the portrait, Helga sat back on the window sill and gently drew the curtains to cover her face.

The author has something to say:

This chapter is privately set up like a mountain, highlight! !

In the second part, when Harry jumped out of the bathroom, there were many, many animal bones underground.Personally, I think either the basilisk has been moving around Hogwarts so it can find food, or someone has been feeding it.Here I choose the latter. An elf belonging to the Slytherin family has been feeding the basilisk. Aidara is an elf of the Slytherin family. She is not affected by the Hogwarts principal's authority and is only responsible for feeding the basilisk.

Recently, a lot of cuties have asked why they don’t enter V. In fact, it’s because jj stipulated that a single fan can’t enter V since a few years ago. And because I can't enter V, I don't have any rankings and exposure... Plus...the HP label has been revoked a few days ago... My heart is full...

However, my Xiaojiju colleagues also intend to only write about Xiaojiju's world view, and not other comprehensive British and American ones... Maybe I am destined to spend my whole life on the streets.Because... I'm really not good at writing comprehensives. When there are too many characters, I will only write a few, and I choose to ignore the others or OOC into fireworks. Therefore, I still don't want to harm other Chaoying.

Finally, I would like to thank every little angel who saw this place, Mojiu.
