[HP] Aunt of the Savior

Jody took a deep breath and said something that surprised Snape. "I... went to find Voldemort. I discussed it with Dumbledore. He thought that Voldemort would probably flee England. I think it was a wise decision to make the same choice as him under the circumstances."

Snape, with his arms around Jody's shoulders, turned his head sideways and stared at her with such force that one could not help worrying about his neck.Frightened and angry lights flickered in those usually gloomy and calm black eyes. "Are you crazy?"

"Look, I knew you would say that." Jody smiled wryly.She had hesitated for a very long time about whether to tell Snape about this.From what she knew of Snape, she could well guess how he would react when he found out - as he was now. "It's important because we all know he's coming back... I can't lose his trust, no, for Harry's sake I have to gain his trust."

When this point was mentioned, Jody's tone suddenly became decisive and resolute, and that resolute look was exactly the same as when she decided to leave England.In any case, she must not put Harry in any danger again.

Snape fell silent, but his face was very ugly, and his free hand was clenched into a fist.He knew that when Jody explained these things to him, he should try to restrain his emotions, otherwise maybe she would hide and reserve from him again.But as long as he heard that name, he still instinctively tensed up. "So, you...have found him?"

"Maybe." Jody's answer was somewhat ambiguous. "Actually, I didn't intend to really find him. We all know that he is very weak now, and it is impossible for me to help him regain his strength sincerely. But I need a gesture, a gesture that can let him clearly understand my loyalty ——I have been hunted by Aurors all the time, but at the same time I never gave up looking for him, but unfortunately I failed and failed to find him.”

After Voldemort disappeared, some of the Death Eaters were captured in Azkaban, while others were exonerated and turned into decent wizards.It is conceivable that under such circumstances, a loyal wizard who is willing to look for him will be so important and trustworthy to Voldemort in the not-too-distant future.

"Ha, what a... brilliant plan." Now, Snape could even guess how Jody negotiated with Dumbledore that night.He praised word by word in a restrained, depressing and emotionless tone, "Being able to hide, deceive, and plot against the Dark Lord... Joe, as such an excellent Slytherin, you don't need my help." , I don’t need to go with you.”

"I know you'd be willing to accompany me on any adventure." Jody gently stroked Snape's brow that was unconsciously showing emotion with his fingers, trying to appease his anger. "But like I said, I don't want to see someone I love die in front of me again..."

"What about me?" But it was clearly not working for Snape at the moment.He grabbed Jody's wrist sharply, and suddenly raised the volume. "What about my feelings? Have you ever thought about my feelings?" His voice was a little hoarse. "Joe, you know... I... I only have you now. But you put yourself in a dangerous situation , you may be killed by an Auror, you may die at the hands of the Dark Lord, or you may encounter some danger that you cannot handle by yourself, and I will not even be by your side at that time..."

"...Of course I have also thought about the possibilities you mentioned. It is because of this that I decided to take the risk by myself. I also don't want you to be in danger, and I don't want you to see such a scene." Jody was tamed by Si Nepe grabbed his wrist, without the slightest struggle, and maintained this very uncomfortable position for her, staring straight at the other party, trying to convey his thoughts to him better. "Because I have witnessed too many deaths of my loved ones, I don't want my loved ones to experience this kind of pain. Now, I have achieved my goal and come back safely, never again Will leave you. Severus, I think that's enough, doesn't it? And…" Jody took a deep breath, "I'm sure you haven't forgotten my request for your help."

Snape was silent again.His fear was also her fear, and this emotional sympathy between the two made him feel very at ease, just like they always seemed to be completely different in the past, but they had a surprisingly tacit understanding.Even though they're Slytherins with a pair of lion patrons, that doesn't mean they're brave enough to face the death of the one they love the most.

Maybe Jody's words were still an excuse for her to explain herself, but they still put Snape in a much better mood.Slytherin has never pursued those absolute truths that are not pleasing, just like he deliberately showed his vulnerability and confusion in front of Jody, so as to win Jody's active compensation, and Jody would never expose it even if he saw it through.

"Today, I went to see Harry." Jody suddenly changed the subject abruptly, trying to ease the awkward atmosphere.

"Ah... our great, famous, Boy-Who-Lived?" Snape's lips curled up.He didn't have much affection for any Potter other than Jody, especially one who looked so much like James—even if he had Lily's eyes.

Voldemort hadn't been seen since the night he failed to kill Harry, and hadn't been seen for years, and many thought he must be dead.Most wizards still don't know how Voldemort disappeared that night, so that there has been a rumor circulating in the wizarding world over the years that Voldemort failed because there was something in Harry Potter's body that could Defeat his strength.

Of course, Snape scoffed at the notion.He is one of the few people who knows why Harry Potter was able to escape.

The reason why Harry Potter was lucky enough to survive under the death curse was because Lily's sacrifice left him with the protection of love.It was Lily who was great, not that little Potter had any special abilities.The reason why Jody was finally persuaded to give up Harry's custody is also because Harry can only let Dumbledore cast a spell to continue the power of love if he lives in Lily's blood-related Petunia's house.

"Although Dumbledore's spell did give Harry the best protection in the Dursleys. But the Dursleys treated Harry very badly. I made some efforts to make Harry's life better ..." Jody said angrily, but there seemed to be a smile on the corner of her mouth.She looked at Snape with meaningful eyes: "However, to my surprise, I found that Harry had another protection spell on him, and the magic wave of this spell was very familiar to me. Severus , who do you think cast that spell on Harry?"

This was what she discovered today when she cast a protective spell on Harry, who had another protective spell on him.That spell can restrain the little wizard's use of magic power and magic riots, and it can also monitor the magic power status of the little wizard, and notify the caster of the little wizard's physical condition as soon as possible.This is a very ancient and rare spell, which needs to be cast on time every year before the little wizard is 11 years old to ensure the effectiveness of the spell.

It was a good thing that Jody had discovered today that Harry's magic was quite strong by the standards of a seven-year-old boy.But this also means that he will be more likely to induce magic riots due to emotional reasons than other children.Judging from the attitude of the Dursleys towards Harry, the reason why No. [-] Privet Drive is still safe and sound, apart from Harry's kind and sensible nature, probably has a lot to do with this protective spell.

"...Maybe he just got lucky..." Snape began muttering in a low voice, avoiding Jody's question.

"Severus." But it was enough for Jody to confirm her suspicions, she smiled, put her arms around Snape's neck, and kissed him lightly on the cheek. "Thank you."

"I don't think I've done anything to deserve your thanks," Snape said uncomfortably.

"I think the fact that someone who doesn't even remember to take good care of himself can visit my only relative is very touching," Jody replied primly. "Okay, Severus, I've said enough, why don't I talk about you?"

"I?"

"I did ask you for help before I left, but I also said to take good care of myself, didn't I?" The concern in Jody's tone made Snape unable to refute. "Perhaps as you said before, I really shouldn't have left you alone to concentrate on research, which is more dangerous to your life than any risk - stop telling me you can take care of yourself , which is not convincing at all.”

"Hopefully in the future when I do this... more softness." Jody leaned back so that his entire back could rest comfortably on Snape's body.Although Snape's slender body was uncomfortable to lean against, the fragrance of shampoo and the unique smell of men exuded from the man who had just taken a shower still made Jody feel a little confused, and there was inevitably a hint of it. tiredness.

"Maybe you just want a comfortable back cushion, or..." Snape finally softened his tone as he looked at the visibly tired Jody. "go to bed early?"

"No, I can't stay here tonight, I'm going back to Privet Drive." Jody rubbed Snape's body like a cat, finding the most comfortable position, "You know Harry doesn't Knowing I'm here, I'm worried he'll be upset if he doesn't see me tomorrow morning."

Snape's face darkened again, and he said sourly, "Oh, yes, of course. I know that kid is the only precious family member for you."

"Severus! If you insist on not counting you among my precious family members, then I really only have Harry left." Jody looked at Snape this time with a smile Jealousy of Harry. "Actually, I have a plan, and maybe I should tell you now. Maybe you wouldn't mind a new addition to our family?"

"You want Harry Potter to move to Laurel Cottage?" Snape raised an eyebrow.

"As I said just now, I'll never leave you again. I don't want to leave you, but I don't trust Harry with those Muggles, especially now that he's just found out he's a wizard." A look of concern flashed across Jody's face.She thought of Harry's questions, the heart-wrenching subjects she didn't yet know how to tell the seven-year-old.

"...I have no objection." Although it was expected that Snape would not object, Jody was a little surprised by how straightforwardly he agreed. "However, he can't leave Privet Drive forever, and I think you know that very well."

In fact, as early as seven years ago, Snape was already mentally prepared to adopt a Potter, which made him quickly accept Jody's proposal—it would be better to say that Jody's proposal was more than he expected. It's too late.

Jody sat up straight, and the corners of her mouth curled up slightly mischievously: "Oh, yes, of course it's just a holiday. After all, I'm going to Hogwarts after school starts."

Snape curled his lips uncomfortably.The only time they'd ever been inseparable was during the holidays, and now they'd have an extra child to spoil their solitude.

"Then I'll bring Harry over tomorrow."

Although he knew that we would meet tomorrow, the sudden sense of emptiness and lightness when Jody left his side still made Snape feel a little lost for a moment.

"By the way, Severus, for the reasons you know, I think it is necessary for me to prepare a new identity in the future—how about the name Caredi Bubbaji?" Jody stood up and turned around Looking at Snape who was sitting on the sofa with a somewhat disappointed expression, the mischievous taste appeared in his smile again. "I think the name should suit me well."

"Caredy?" Snape raised his eyebrows high, and said in a slow and slightly mocking tone: "Based on my mood for the past seven years, I don't think you have the right to treat me with this name." Virtue embodied."

Although the tone still sounded unfriendly, neither he nor Jody knew that there was no initial dissatisfaction and resentment in these words.As Jody said, she has returned safely, so why should he be angry with her all the time?

"Severus, are you still angry? Don't be so stingy, I still hope to learn some meaning of this name from you!" Contrary to Snape's still somewhat depressed mood, Jody's tone Lightly joking. "I believe that will be very beneficial for my new job."

"new job?"

"Yes, Professor, the same as you. I said I would never leave you again—" She leaned down and kissed Snape's thin lips lightly again. "So, I'm going to teach at Hogwarts too. It's us, not just you, who are going to Hogwarts at the beginning of the term. I've written to Dumbledore to talk about it. This fall, Hogwarts Professor of Muggle Studies, to be replaced by Caredy Bubbaji."

"Muggle research?!" Snape repeated in bewilderment.The subjects Jody was about to teach took him by surprise.

"Oh, yes." Jody blinked and gave a pleasant smile, "I occasionally hang out with Muggles to avoid the Aurors, so I know them pretty well now - who would have thought that a very A professor who knows Muggles, but a Death Eater on the run?"
