[HP] Aunt of the Savior

In the first few days of Hogwarts every year, the busiest thing is not the students who want to start learning new courses, nor the professors who have a headache for starting to teach another batch of new students, but those who give the children who have lost everything. things and owls for worried parents.

When the twins celebrated their birthdays, thanks to Jody's hard work, they finally got an owl as a birthday present.James's owl Darcy is the eagle owl (XIAO) that boys usually like very much. This kind of owl has a larger body, can carry heavier things, and looks more majestic.Darcy is a male horned owl with very nice gray plumage.And Jody's owl Liz is a small and lively tan female owl (XIULIU) with many white spots on the top of its head and white horizontal bands on its neck and tail feathers.

The reason why Jody chose it at the beginning was because owls like owls do not have the habit of going out at night like most owls, so she can use it to send letters home at any time and get its company.But back then she hadn't imagined that her dormitory would have no windows - and no owl could say a command to fly into a Slytherin cellar.

Although Liz couldn't get into Slytherin's dormitory, he could still use the breakfast time perfectly to complete his work like other owls.Of course, Darcy also sent a letter back to James, and the two owls handed over the letters to the dining tables in Gryffindor and Slytherin respectively, enjoyed a little treat from the master, and then circled affectionately and flew back to the owls The shed went.

But what attracted the most attention this morning was that Sirius Black received a howling letter in a bright red envelope - the owl with the black ribbon on its neck tied the Black family crest proudly threw the letter in Sirius on the head.

Sirius frowned and opened the letter on the dining table.Mrs. Black's high-pitched voice immediately echoed in the Hogwarts Great Hall: "Siris Black! I've heard Bella say it! It's Gryffindor?! I want you to write the family motto one hundred Give it to me when you get home for Christmas, don’t fail to write it, or you will know the consequences! Also, even if you are in Gryffindor, remember the taste of the Black family when choosing friends!”

Mrs. Black's yelling letter made many students secretly look at Sirius with strange eyes, with sympathy, contempt, and gloating.Jody, sitting at the Slytherin table, had mixed feelings.The fact that Sirius would receive the Howling letter must be directly related to the quarrel between Sirius and Bellatrix yesterday, which made her a little guilty.

When she returned to the dormitory last night, Doris heard that she was stopped by that Miss Black, her face turned pale with fright, and she kept asking her if she had encountered any punishment.

"But I didn't expect that you would be willing to be friends with the moose." But after hearing what happened, Doris, who was born in the pure-blood Nott family, also complained. "It's really not a wise thing to be targeted by Miss Black for this reason."

Since Jody didn't answer, Doris tactfully didn't say any more.They each went to bed after sharing the supper that James had brought Jody, but a full belly did not put Jody to sleep right away.

Staying in Slytherin, a house that values ​​blood over everything else, maybe she should do as the Romans do and abide by the "rules" here.But she didn't want to abide by the "rules" she didn't agree with at all, and she didn't want to give up Lily as a friend because of this reason.Just like she wouldn't give up being friends with Snape just because of what James said.The conflict between the environment and herself made her extremely troubled.

Who knows that this trouble has not yet come to fruition, and Sirius received a shouting letter because of helping her. Worry and guilt made Jody feel that she was in a bad mood.

"My mother is quite restrained." I don't know that Jody is still guilty, but Sirius has already fully adjusted his mood, and the shouting letter has not affected him.He didn't care about the attitudes of the people around him at all, he pushed the shredded snarling letter off his plate, and ate breakfast by himself. "At least I didn't have a hysterical attack in the yelling letter, scolding me like a dog."

"Brother, are you really okay?" James looked at his good friend worriedly.

"It's okay, I already knew that Bella would write a letter to sue!" Sirius shrugged indifferently, "Anyway, sooner or later my parents will know that I entered Gryffindor. It's just a hundred family training, No big deal. Did your parents write you back?"

"Ah, yes!" James hurriedly opened the envelope in his hand.He couldn't wait to see what his parents would do with Jody in Slytherin.But the content of the reply letter was beyond his expectation.

"To James:

I thought it necessary for me as a father to write you seriously - after you slammed your sister for choosing sinister Slytherin instead of Gryffindor.

I don't understand why you have such a bad impression of Slytherin house, maybe you once heard from my conversation with your mother what caused this misunderstanding.You know, my mother and I don't have much affection for other houses except Gryffindor's house, because we have competed with other houses for the House Cup for seven years in a row, but that doesn't mean Slytherin is a scary place.Its House symbol is a snake, but that snake certainly didn't come alive and devour your sister.

I'm glad to read that you mentioned in your letter that you have made many new friends in Gryffindor.You've always wanted more friendship, and Jody, while not as obvious as you, has the same need.Your mother and I have always wanted to see her make more friends and be more cheerful at Hogwarts.

As the ones who raised you, I trust that you can all discern what kind of friends you should choose for yourself.I don't think Jody would like to see you hate her friend so much, see that Mr. Snape as a vicious virus that will contaminate her, and even use some impolite words to describe him. (Fortunately I read your letter to your mother, otherwise I think he would have written a yelling letter for your wording to remind you how to be more polite. If you don't correct it in time, I'm not sure Will she personally review your letter next time.)

No pranks at school!Write to us anytime.

your father Elvis Potter

"I can't believe it!" James wailed in a low voice and finished reading his father's reply letter, "Dad actually said that, it's completely different from what I overheard at that time."

Sirius patted him on the shoulder wordlessly.This time it was him who comforted his friend.In order to cheer up the disappointed and listless James, he had to bring the conversation to another friend of theirs. "Speaking of which, we didn't find Remus in the school hospital yesterday. I don't know where he went?"

"And...he didn't come back last night." Peter interjected tremblingly.The four of them share a dormitory. Sirius and James also invited him for a night out last night, but he was afraid of being caught, so he didn't dare to participate.

The three of them got together to discuss where Remus Lupine had gone, whether he could catch up with the charm class for a while. Everything about Leitlin was forgotten.

The indifferent attitude of the person involved minimized the influence of the Black family's shouting letter among the students.Seeing that there was no news to watch, everyone stopped paying attention to Sirius.

On the other hand, Jody's mood completely improved when she read the reply letter from her mother.

"Dear Jody,

I admit that because your father and I were both Gryffindor-born, we have an unusually deep attachment to this house, far more than any other house at Hogwarts.

So of course we hope that you both, brother and sister, can enjoy the squishy armchairs in the Gryffindor Tower common room, especially the ones by the fireplace, which are usually in high demand, you know, as we do, and we did. Brother and sister can join forces to win this battle. (Your dad insists he was being a gentleman when he lost to me.)

But my dear daughter, this does not mean that we want to interfere with your natural characteristics with our own ideas, to praise or belittle the nature in you.So me and your dad don't think it's disappointing, sad or embarrassing that you're in Slytherin.

Your letter mentions what the Sorting Hat has said about you.In my opinion, my daughter is smart, well-behaved and hard-working. Perhaps the dirty-looking hat can indeed see many things for us that we cannot see, but the quality of these qualities is not determined by the hat. Let's define.The only person who can define them is you.

What's more, based on my experience as an adult, being a little cunning and ambitious is not necessarily a bad thing.The same goes for you - otherwise I don't think your dad would have agreed to buy you both an owl in your first year, and I think James would appreciate that.

As for the desire to control, I think this is something that everyone has, because we always want others to act according to our will, and you don't have to worry too much about it.I also always hope that controlling James can be honest and not cause trouble, although you know the result is always not satisfactory.

Finally, I want you to know that what ultimately creates you is always your own will, not the evaluation of anyone or anything, not your environment, but yourself.Therefore, no matter what happens, you should act firmly in accordance with the choices you make, and be willing to bear the consequences.Maybe my words are too esoteric and difficult to understand, but I still hope you can remember well that this is an extra private admission gift from your father and me.

Also, I'm glad the Slytherin notion of pure-blood supremacy doesn't narrow your horizons in choosing your friends.I believe that Miss Nott, Mr. Snape and Miss Evans will all be very good friends of yours.

love your mother cythia potter

Also: given what I know of Slytherins - they generally prefer pure blood as a measure of nobleness rather than wealth - that prefect Malfoy you wrote about The family is actually a special case.If there is no accident, I remember that your father has a distant cousin who has not seen for a long time and married a Blake, so they are still a little bit related to our family.Hope this helps your school career. 』

"Jody, Professor Slughorn wants me to tell you, uh, you... seem to be in a good mood?" Noticing the rare relaxed smile on Jody's face when he read the letter, Snape hesitated to choose now Is it inappropriate to talk to her?

"Huh? Ah!" After reading the letter, Jody came back to his senses, only to find that Snape was standing behind him with the book in his arms, and he had probably been standing there for a while.

Doris on the side was enjoying her breakfast attentively, ignoring Snape completely like the other Slytherin students, and naturally no one would remind Jody of Snape's existence.If it was before Jody read the letter, she would probably feel depressed about it, but after reading her mother's letter, she found that she didn't seem to mind it at all.She has decided to act according to her own choice, as her mother said.In this case, what does other people's attitudes and opinions matter?

"Yes, I'm in a great mood! Sorry, what can you do for me, Severus?" Jody asked with a smile on his face.

Snape couldn't understand Jody's good mood and raised his eyebrows: "Then Jody, who is in a good mood, shouldn't have forgotten Professor Slughorn's invitation? His office at five o'clock tonight."

After Jody and Lily made friends, Snape unconsciously got closer to Jody than before.They were in the same academy, had the same courses, and of course had many opportunities to meet each other, but this was the first time he had met Jody, who was smiling so happily today.Although her smiling face was not as bright as the summer sun like Lily's, the joyful smile on the brows and eyes still made Snape feel a sense of envy and longing, an unknown longing that seemed to Again sprouted from the bottom of his heart.

"Thank you for telling me the exact time, Severus!" Jody suddenly turned her head, and said to Doris who was still sitting at the table, pretending not to notice the conversation between Jody and Snape: "Doris , class time is coming soon, let's go together?"
