[HP] Butterfly Effect

The mist circled and spread from the direction of the Forbidden Forest and the Black Lake, gradually blurring the boundaries of the Hogwarts castle.The flying lessons of Ravenclaw and Gryffindor were confined to the open space of the castle by the fog, and Mrs. Hooch had to work hard to keep an eye on the young eagles and lion cubs to avoid them Killing each other uncontrollably in the air.

In the principal's office on the eighth floor of the castle, Dumbledore opened the ancient book in his hand and looked at it for a while, and finally shifted his gaze from the pages of the book to the little elf Adara, whose blue eyes were reflected in the crystal glasses The back seemed a bit hazy: "I think you can go back, it will be noon soon, the kitchen can't do without you, Aidara."

"Thank you, sir." Aidala finished, jumped up and disappeared in the apparition brought by a crisp finger snap.

"Using house elves to stay at Hogwarts, I have to say that this is indeed a very clever method." Dumbledore looked thoughtfully at the air that had become silent again, "I have indeed considered it before, If the monster in the Chamber of Secrets really exists, then it's not in a state of deep dormancy, and there must be something feeding it to keep it alive through the millennia. But I never thought it would be a house-elf, which is amazing."

Snape was no stranger to Dumbledore's behavior of praising his opponent's intelligence even if he was calculated, but said as he had imagined before: "I followed it unintentionally to enter the secret room that day, and As we guessed, Myrtle's bathroom is the entrance, but it can only be opened by a Parselmouth. Otherwise, only an elf who knows the exact location of the Chamber of Secrets can do it. This method has always been used at Hogwarts. Hidden for over 1000 years."

"This elf and its family belong to the Slytherin family and are not under the control of the rest of Hogwarts. I tried to ask it other questions about the Chamber of Secrets, but it refused to say a single one."

Dumbledore listened quietly, his gentle eyes were like water, and under the clear surface was an unpredictable dark precipitation. His words were full of obscurity and temptation: "It sounds incredible. But fortunately, the person who met her was You can still bring us this precious hand scroll."

Snape heard his doubts, and still replied calmly: "Because there is a division of labor between them. The elf is only responsible for feeding the basilisk, and has no right to enter the secret room, while the basilisk is responsible for guarding the secret room. When the right heir came to open the secret chamber, it was also trapped and unable to get out. So, my luck is pretty good."

"So, the basilisk will only resume its activities after the Slytherin family appears?" Dumbledore stared at the other party's dark and deep pupils, his voice and expression were as usual, but with a little more majesty.

"I guess so, otherwise I wouldn't be standing here." Snape didn't dodge, and looked back at him.Dumbledore slightly bent the corners of his mouth and said with a smile: "It's not that I don't trust you, Severus. I promised you that I wouldn't use Instinct on you without your will, I Will keep my promise."

That's because you know it won't work if you use it, Snape thought with a sneer.And Dumbledore is more like a reminder that it is best to abide by the agreement with him-hasn't he been doing this all the time?

But Snape also understood that it was not so easy to convince Dumbledore of this matter, and what he had done so far was just the beginning.Thinking of this, Snape had another thought in his mind, that is, Dumbledore was too unlike a Gryffindor, and he was more like a shrewd and calm Slytherin in terms of certain characteristics.

Of course, it cannot be denied that the absolute leitmotif of his character is a loyal Gryffindor.

"However, the method of destroying the Horcrux recorded here is a little tricky, I have to read it again." Dumbledore said, tapping the thick ancient book with the old wand.Suddenly, he said as if he remembered something: "By the way, the letter from that child Regulus arrived two days ago. Since he almost recovered his memory, he has been looking for things about the Horcrux outside. He firmly believes and remembers that Voldemort made more than one Horcrux, and he is currently investigating everywhere, and has made some progress, and I think I will go to meet him in two days."

Regulus Black, who had recovered all his memories, Snape would have liked to know what he thought of his brother Sirius' plight.

He said goodbye quickly.

……

The weather was overcast and overcast on Saturday morning, but visibility has not been affected too much.When the evening approached, the long-premeditated torrential rain finally fell. The strong wind mixed with dense and cold raindrops penetrated into the castle from any possible gaps, and the corridors were almost flooded with water.The torrential rain blurred everything outside, and the transparent drops of water were connected into lines, hanging out of the window densely.The glass was covered with clear and round raindrops, and dark clouds rolled overhead.

Aurora pulled up the rain hat and put it on before getting off the train. Seeing the excessive rainwater rushing on the window due to the high speed of the train, it had a strange clear effect, allowing her to see the outside gradually. Hogsmeade near.

After the train stopped, she got out of the car with the crowd, opened the umbrella in her hand, put the handle of the umbrella on her shoulder, and walked into the rain holding it with one hand, as if walking in a shallow stream.

The heavy rain made the air a little gray, and the pedestrians who passed by were silent, walking through the rain curtain lightly and silently like dark ghosts.

Aurora walked to the door of the Three Broomsticks bar, cast a drying spell on the umbrella with her magic wand, closed the umbrella, pushed her elbow against the door and squeezed in.She originally wanted to find Remus. The bird snake brought back by Keitel had hatched, very healthy and beautiful.Aurora named it Grape Crisp, and created an environment similar to Siberia's subarctic coniferous forest in her satchel.She originally wanted to come to Remus today and show him her new partner, but unfortunately she came at a bad time and he was not here today.

"You know, he will be away every month, and I don't know why. I've been on duty for him for the first time." The waiter in front of him said while using a cleaning spell on the carved glass on the table Cleaned up, shrugged and continued, "But Lupine is generally a good guy, just a little weird, and it is undeniable that he helped us a lot."

"Thank you." Aurora finished and left the three broomsticks.She returned to the wet rain-and-snow road and started walking toward the Honeydukes candy store on the soft, gray, melting snow.It's just the beginning of autumn, and it's a little cold to walk in the area above the snow line wearing a thin beige sweater.Aurora wrapped her raincoat tightly and rushed into the beautiful and warm shop, took out her shopping list and began to choose what she wanted to buy.

She didn't want these by herself, but other students who hadn't reached the third grade asked her to bring them for her to help.Aurora sorts the things she wants to buy by college, and then packs them separately when the time comes.Helping with shopping seems to have become a Hufflepuff tradition. Students from any house will come to them, and the little badgers will never refuse.Sometimes when there are no more types to buy, the little badgers will carefully choose some other ones with good reputation and buy them back for them to try. If they like it, they will pay for it. If they don’t like it, forget it. They will put it in the lounge as a public snack. It is also a joy to share with everyone.

This kind of goofy quality is standard for all Hufflepuffs, as is the love of gossip and natural optimism that misses the point.

Come to think of it, maybe Tonks was right.When the dormitories were divided, it was because of the characteristics of the colleges that they put the Snake and Badger House together for the sake of world peace.After all, compared with Gryffindor and Ravenclaw, Hufflepuff is definitely the one who will not conflict with Slytherin, because they will neither provoke each other, but will try to avoid it as much as possible. The opponent is really the best choice of the same level.

"It makes sense! Imagine if Gryffindor lived here, Hogwarts would probably be blown up the next day." Caroline agreed with Tonks' point of view.So they applauded and cheered, celebrating that they solved the most incredible one of the many unsolved mysteries of Hogwarts with the wisdom of everyone.

Aurora sat beside her with a hot honey citron tea and just smiled. She was glad that she had left Salazar's diary in the dormitory at this time, otherwise he would have turned his face to the point of crying in fear when he heard this. little badgers.

Although she personally felt that Tonks was right.

After buying everything from Honeydukes, Aurora counted the change in her wallet, then stuffed all the big and small bags into her satchel, got up and walked towards Remus' residence.

This area was as lonely and deep as ever, full of fallen tree trunks and overrunning slippery and dense moss.The condensed rainwater fell in large and large drops one after another, and the rotten green color spread all the way to the small wooden house, and the sky above the head was gray and wet.

Aurora knocked on the door, but the door opened automatically, revealing the scene inside, which was very simple and old.When she walked in, the soles of her shoes still carried the mud and water vapor of the forest, leaving distinct shoe prints along the way.

"Remus? Are you home? It's me, I'll come and see you." Aurora shouted into the air filled with sawdust, dust and some rotten wood smells.The noise of the rain, crowded unabated in the cabin, was so loud that it was hard to imagine how such a cabin could keep its occupants' sleep at night in rainy England.

"Remus?" Aurora called again, raising her voice, but there was still no response.

"Strange, he's not here, where will he go?" Aurora said, looking around worriedly.The room was very dark, only a blur of gray light leaked in from the window, scattered on the ground in pieces.

There is an open book on the table, the quill is still inserted obliquely in the ink bottle, and the thin and narrow shadows are projected on the pages.Aurora looked at the book, it was about...

"Werewolf?" Aurora looked at the shocking word and said it aloud in surprise.She didn't know why, but she had some bad premonitions, forcing her to look around the whole house.

When she pushed open the door at the farthest corner, the scene inside made Aurora instantly feel that her worries were not unnecessary.

The wall in front of him is full of plaques grown due to excessive humidity, huge cracks, as if torn out by the claws of some beast, and many black and green unknown mushrooms and other plants are crowded in the corners. The ground was covered with scraps of paper and tattered clothes and fabrics.From the pictures with acceptable clarity, it can be seen that the painting is a black magic creature like a werewolf, which Aurora learned in the third grade.

Aurora grabbed the scraps of paper and was stunned for a while, realizing that Remus must be in trouble, which can be seen from the huge scratches on the wall and the scraps of paper and tattered clothes on the ground .

She opened her satchel, released the Winged Demon Blueberry Jam, and patted its head: "Remus is in trouble, Blueberry Jam, can you take me to him?"

Blueberry Jam sniffed the clothes in Aurora's hands vigorously, and flew out of the house after making a strange cry.Aurora didn't have time to get her umbrella, so she rushed into the rain and ran back to Hogsmeade following the low-flying blueberry jam all the way.

Is Remus still in Hogsmeade?Aurora thought anxiously and doubtfully.

She followed Blueberry Jam around the periphery of Hogsmeade, climbed over a few high fences, and stepped on the soft and sticky meadow all the way to a dilapidated and gloomy house.Aurora recognized this building. Hufflepuff's seniors had warned them before they first came to Hogsmeade, never to come here, because this house is very spooky and scary, almost everyone who enters it Not a happy ending.

At that time, Vaux wondered why such a dangerous thing would be kept here instead of being destroyed.The seniors shrugged and didn't answer, just repeatedly warning them not to go into the place.

Blueberry Jam hovered silently at low altitude, which meant that, judging by the smell, Remus was inside.The heavy gray rain poured down vertically, washing over her body without any obstruction, forming a substantial heavy burden, which fell on her eyes with some stiffness and pain, covered Aurora's fair and delicate face, wet her lips, Her sodden pale blonde bangs fell at the ends.

The heat generated by the fast running just now gradually dissipated in the rain, and the cold returned to her fingers.Aurora clenched the wand in her hand, raised her arm to let the blueberry jam fall: "Are you sure he's in there?"

Blueberry Jam nodded obediently.

Huge scratches on the walls, torn clothing, and pages about werewolves strewn about.The worst thing Aurora could think of was that Remus had been brought here by a werewolf, and the thought made her stomach cramp with nervousness.

"Then let's go in." Aurora took a deep breath, walked to the door of the Shrieking Shack, stretched out her hand to push it away, and was quickly swallowed by darkness.

The inside is as dilapidated as the outside, as if no one has lived in it for hundreds of years. The sound of rain and wind whizzes in from the hole in the wall on the second floor, forming a kind of convection here, whining.Aurora reached into the satchel, let Chajuan jump up, and stood on her shoulder looking around vigilantly.

The dust here is very thick, and under the action of the strong wind, it flies around unscrupulously. Aurora used several dust removal spells to make the air look clearer.She walked in slowly, trying not to make any noise, the roof above her head was constantly leaking rain, and the ground was stained with irregular wet marks.

There was a strong musty smell in the air, mixed with the smell of heavy rain, like trekking in a mass of soaked wood, which made people feel sick.

Soon, something on the spiral staircase in front of her caught Aurora's eyes.She walked over and saw a series of footprints, which looked very messy.

The footprints have been going up the stairs, disappearing in the invisible blind spot.

Chajuan jumped onto the banister of the stairs, climbing inch by inch, and Aurora followed her up lightly.

The wind rushed in from the broken window on the opposite side, and the house was filled with gray rain.

It was as quiet as a haunted house in Muggle society.

Or rather, it is.
