[HP] Aunt of the Savior

"We're going to find Jody among the Death Eaters."

James announced aloud to the members of the Marauders.He had always liked the name Marauders, it was so bold and unscrupulously brave, this is what they should be-instead of always being cautious and being forced to stand up and fight back when the Death Eaters were madly destroying.

"This is a possibility that came to my mind when I was chatting with Padfoot, we suspect..." He paused intentionally for a moment. "We suspect that Jody is a spy for the Order of the Phoenix among the Death Eaters."

"So, we plan to go to Knockturn Alley to find those Death Eaters. You must know that there must be a connection between the Death Eaters." Sirius added immediately, "As long as we have a lively scene, we can always find out Jody’s message, or something leading to Jody. We need to check with her to see if that’s true.”

Lupine had just returned to Godric's Hollow from the north today, and James and Sirius dragged him from Dumbledore to the Potter's house to discuss their "prank" plan.But his attitude towards this project was more cautious and reserved than that of his two cheerful and bold friends. "Prongs, Padfoot, what is the basis for your guesses? And, do you really think this plan is feasible?"

These days, when Lupine was mediating between the Order of the Phoenix and werewolves, he realized more directly the horror of werewolves, coupled with the impetuousness that gradually faded as he grew older, it made him reflect more and more frequently on his relationship with them when he was a student. What a threat these friends' adventures pose to others.

This made Lupine more cautious than before. He felt that James and Sirius' words were flawed, and this plan was even worse.If the past can't be changed, then at least he can't let his friends take irrational risks now.

Sirius told Lupine about the mysterious visitor from Dumbledore's house, and shared his analysis. "And James thinks that person is most likely Jody."

"Of course it will be Jody," but James showed a smug smile as he looked at Lily who was making tea for the hijackers in the kitchen. "As for our plan, even Lily agrees."

Lupine immediately looked at Lily suspiciously.

Lily brought everyone a cup of herbal tea and sat down beside James. "I agree with you to ask Jody for clarification, and I think your guess is reasonable, but I don't agree with your nonsense."

"Oh, Lily, how could you embarrass me so much in front of the moon face." James touched the tip of his nose resentfully, deliberately putting on a pitiful look. "But it's the quickest way, isn't it?"

"Even if your guess is correct, going to find Jody with such a big fanfare, will it cause her trouble? And, even if we meet her, will she definitely admit it? If she is really a spy, these The secret she's been hiding since we were at school..." Lupine took a deep breath, "I don't think she's going to change her mind about telling us the truth now. Instead of doing that, you might as well just ask Dumbledore Professor Lido is faster."

"Professor Dumbledore wouldn't have said anything, otherwise he would have told me that Jody was a spy for the Order of the Phoenix. He would only comfort me with the love of those loved ones, but that wouldn't solve the problem. I still hope ..." James obviously didn't expect that Lupine would say so much this time to discourage his plan, and he didn't know what to say for a while.He pulled his hair into a mess, as if that would give him a plausible reason to convince Lupine.On the other hand, Lily had a distressed expression on her pretty face, and she knew that Lupine's analysis was very reasonable.

"Of course we won't directly yell that we suspect her of being a spy," Sirius shrugged. "Maybe we can go to her with the excuse of getting rid of the traitors of the Potter family, and then quietly tell her that if the truth of the matter is confirmed, we will You can also act with her."

This approach is obviously more thoughtful than the original plan, but it is undeniable that it is also very risky.

"What do you think, Wormtail?" Sirius asked, turning to Peter. "You're supposed to stand with me and the prongs?"

"Maybe, Moonface is right, and I..." Peter's answer seemed a bit unexpected, he looked at his friends with watery eyes, and wrung his fingers uneasily. "I guess I don't have time..."

"No time!" James yelled in surprise, "Is there anything more important than fighting Voldemort?"

"But I still have to go to work," Peter argued in his squeaky thin voice. "You know, I..."

"Busy working as a clerk in a small candy store with no business in Diagon Alley?" Sirius interrupted Peter, waving his hands impatiently, "Come on, Wormtail, at this moment, there are many things that are more important than making money , Those things are worth your life. And..." He gave a smirk. "I suggest you change jobs as soon as possible. If you accidentally use your Animagus transformation in your workplace and are seen by others, you will definitely be beaten to death."

James couldn't help laughing.Peter's face flushed, and he hesitated to speak.

"Don't say that," Lily glanced at her husband and Sirius disapprovingly, "Moonface and Xiao Chong don't like to make troubles everywhere like you all day long, and you can't force them to agree with your ideas. You guys are messing around. And I think Moony is right." She gave a pained expression, "I still can't believe that Jody and... Jody really became Death Eaters, but even if we see her, she Will she confess to us? If so, she wouldn't have said those things when I asked her quietly."

"Lily..." James put his arm around Lily's shoulders, comforting her. "In fact, it's the same for me. Every time I think she's hopeless, I think she can't be like that. That's why I want to verify it."

Lily bit her lip, thought for a while with a serious expression, and finally shook her head. "James, I also think that Moonface has a good point, you shouldn't go."

The plans were rejected one after another, and James' enthusiasm suddenly turned cold. Even the summer heat and Lily's fragrant herbal tea could not restore this temperature.He slumped his shoulders in frustration, "Well, if you all think so."

But in the end, he glanced at Sirius, his only current ally, and the two exchanged a restless look in tacit understanding.Lupine just turned his head to look at the fireplace, and seemed to have missed James and Sirius' gaze.

And Sirius has already brought the topic to how to help Peter's store improve its performance: "But to be honest, Wormtail, can the store you work in really pay wages? Its business seems to have been slow." not so good."

Peter lowered his head, a little listless: "Yes, because people always prefer to choose Honeydukes, but I still think the malt chocolate and strawberry fudge in our store are better than Honeydukes..."

"Oh, but that sounds too ordinary. Maybe we can help them think of some special candies that Honeydukes doesn't have. Let's hear what the lady thinks—" James turned his head and asked Lily's opinion "Lily , do you have any ideas?"

Seeing that James seemed to have given up on his previous plan, Lily was visibly relieved.However, the development of this matter afterwards was obviously different from what Lily thought, and James did not intend to give up his plan just like this.

He and Sirius continued their previous work of patrolling the Death Eaters on Sirius' motorcycle, occasionally speeding along the streets of Muggles at extraordinary speeds-this often attracted the Aurors of Muggles, That is, the attention of the police, both James and Sirius found it very interesting.

But that week at the end of August, when they were stopped in an alley by the police for speeding, they happened to run into three Death Eaters who were having fun in the Muggle world.When the three guys slammed into the glass of the police car and smashed their brooms because of their spells, James did not hesitate to say the prepared sentence according to his plan:

"Tell Jody Potter what I said, tell her not to hide like a groundhog, come out to me! I will teach her a lesson as the patriarch of the Potter family, I guess you will remember this of?"

By the time Lupine heard about it from a werewolf who had ties to the Death Eaters, it was already October, and James and Sirius had already repeated this procedure several times.

Lupine had arranged for his two daredevil friends to meet at the Leaky Cauldron so they could join up with Peter when work was over.As soon as we met, he frowned and announced the news: "I think your plan has almost been achieved, and I even heard about it from those werewolves."

Sirius sat at the bar, raised his chin and glanced at Lupine, showing a very insolent smile. "The mischief of the hijacker never fails."

"Moonface, you're very well informed." With a smug smile on James' face, he put his arm around Lupine's shoulder. "Now you can't refuse, you have to admit that our plan is going well. Alright, let's go to Wormtail first, see if his candy store business is better, and then go to the Pig's Head Bar to start a battle Meeting."

Lupine nodded helplessly, with a trace of complexity and struggle in his eyes. "Okay, I agree."

"Peter, how are the candies selling?" James heard his loud voice before he entered the door.

Diagon Alley is already very deserted now, and this candy store named Winnie is even more deserted.Presumably considering that the candy store is where Peter works, James doesn't call him Wormtail by his moniker.This made Peter a little relieved.However, when he saw Sirius and Lupine also coming, he still stuttered in surprise: "You... are you here?"

"Oh, Peter, are these your friends?" said the elderly lady of the candy store kindly. "welcome."

"Yes, yes, mother."

"Mom?" Sirius looked at Peter in surprise, then at the shopkeeper. "Is this your store?"

Peter seemed extremely disturbed, and he responded lightly with embarrassment. "Well, yes, my mother and I have always wanted to open a candy store."

"Merlin, why didn't you tell us earlier that your family opened a candy store here?" James suddenly wondered why he had known Peter for so long, why he never thought of asking about his family's situation before.

"This...is only opened after I graduated." Peter stared at the toe of his shoe, he didn't know what to say, because the land price fell after the Death Eaters caused a commotion in Diagon Alley that year, this store The low-cost transfer gave the not-so-rich Pedilu family the opportunity to open a shop.

"So, Mrs. Pedilou, I'm sorry, but we want to take up a little bit of Peter's time." Sirius said politely to Peter's mother.

Mrs. Pedilou was obviously excited that her son could become friends with such an outstanding young man at first glance, she nodded happily, "Of course, Peter, I'm enough in the store, you go out with your friends !"

Of course, the discovery that Peter was not a clerk but the heir to the candy store made the young men very excited to rush into the Hog's Head and have a good drink.After getting assurances that others would help the candy store, Peter also hemmed and agreed to participate in James' plan to identify Jody's true identity.

"Now we have to think of some better ways to improve the business of this store!" James did not forget to repeat this point when he walked out of the Pig's Head Bar.

Lupine said gently, "Yes, we can help you, Wormtail, you should have told us."

"Ah, ah, what a touching friendship." But at this moment, a slippery and mocking voice suddenly entered their ears. "Maybe this friendship will make some people forget the declarations they have spread around before."

The sound that James hated made him almost instinctively draw out his wand and aim it at the person who spoke.And in fact he did, he almost gritted his teeth and squeezed out the name: "Severus Snape!"

"Do you want to bully the less with more?" Snape stood not far behind the hijackers and looked at them coldly.Just now he used a magic spell to send his voice to their ears, and now the distance between them is very subtle, and now he is confident that he will not be hit by the opponent, even if the opponent really uses more Bullying less.

"How dare you show up, you evil Death Eater! What do you want to do?" James asked Snape unceremoniously, glared at him fiercely, and was annoyed to find that this guy actually looked more serious than when he was in school. A bit more presentable: his face is not so bad, and his hair is not so disgusting as a mess of mud.

"It seems that Voldemort will send you shampoo and nourishment regularly, snot man?" Sirius raised his eyebrows, looking at the obvious changes in his old enemy.

"Don't you really want to see Jody, and then...teach her a lesson?" Snape's face darkened immediately, and he seemed to be patiently ignoring Sirius' vicious words, but showed a mocking smile to everyone , "But I'm not sure if you really have the guts to follow me, an evil Death Eater, to meet her?"

As he spoke, he held up an old book—everyone could think of it, it was of course a portkey—and looked at the hijackers provocatively.

"Gryffindor never lacks for courage!" James rushed to Snape angrily, pointed his wand at him with one hand, and put the other on the cover of the book.Sirius did the same thing as James at almost the same time, though he looked at Snape with more hostility than he had seen before.Then came Lupine and Peter, but the expressions of these two people were not so much hostility towards Snape as disapproval of James and Sirius' actions.

After making sure everyone was grabbing the Portkey, Snape cast a spell, and a navel seemed to be caught on a hook immediately hit them.Peter seemed to want to let go at that moment, but once the Portkey was activated, your fingers would seem to be glued to it, and he couldn't let go at all.

Finally, they all landed in a clearing in the woods.

James straightened himself crookedly, and immediately saw Jody's figure.She was standing by the clearing, looking at them with a smile.Her smile made him feel a little strange for a moment.James felt as if he had never seen Jody show him such a non-malicious and mischievous smile since the fifth grade.

"Jody..." He whispered her name unconsciously, even ignoring that Snape walked over to Jody with the Portkey.

"James, you've worked so hard to find me, isn't it because you're looking at me in a daze?" Jody's tone was very brisk, while Snape beside her was stern.

The change in Jody's attitude made James see hope, and he swallowed hard to try to relieve his inner tension. "I just wanted to ask you something."

"Ok?"

"Jordy, did you really choose the Death Eaters?" James stared at Jody's eyes, as if hoping to get an answer from them, but there was no change in those same eyes as his own. "I do not believe."

"Then why do you think I joined the Death Eaters?" Jody said calmly, "I think you already have the answer?"

"You're actually a spy for the Order of the Phoenix among the Death Eaters, aren't you?" James asked nervously. "We... We found out before that Dumbledore would occasionally meet someone quietly. Is that person you?"

"...I didn't expect you to find out. That person is indeed me." Jody smiled helplessly at James: "You are smarter than I thought, James."

"Oh!" James grabbed Jody's shoulders excitedly. "I knew it was you!"

Sirius, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke. "Is that person really you?"

"Of course, why do you ask that, Sirius?" Jody said with a smile on his face. "I could even describe to you what Dumbledore's study looked like, and where his sweet box was kept. If that If it’s not me, who else can it be?”

Jody asked with a smile in his voice.
