[HP] Aunt of the Savior

After Snape explained Dumbledore's plan, Jody fell into a long silence.She looked at Snape thoughtfully, fully aware of his part in the plan, even though he had deliberately ignored his part from her.

They all know that now is not the time to eliminate Voldemort, so in this plan, Snape may have to "miss" and let Voldemort go at a critical moment, so that the suspicious Voldemort will not doubt Snape's loyalty to him.But that would certainly make his situation and reputation at Hogwarts worse.You know, many people know that Snape was once a Death Eater.He was able to be in the current situation entirely based on Dumbledore's guarantee and trust.And because of the unreasonableness and partiality he displayed, he also had a bad reputation.

Although Jody cared about Harry's safety and hoped that this plan would achieve the results they wanted, that didn't mean she could ignore the situation of the man beside her.She didn't want to ignore his feelings any longer.

Tonight, watching Snape take care of Harry for him so tenderly, Jody felt that he could even completely forget many things.After they have experienced so many things together and spent so much time together, she has become more and more aware of the sacrifices and changes he made for her, and has become more and more aware of how important he is to her. .

"You must know what the other professors think of you after you did this? Maybe we can think of another way..."

"You don't have to worry about this." Snape comforted Jody with some clumsy and empty words, even using Harry to remind Jody. "And I think you should be very clear that I've never cared what other people think of me. We just have to think about our plans, and you understand it's for Harry too?"

"...you've done too much for me, Severus." Jody managed to pull himself together and cocked his lips at him. "I really don't know, what can I do for you?"

Contrary to Jody's expectation, Snape thought about this question silently and seriously, and finally whispered two words in her ear. "love me."

He was not surprised to see obvious surprise and shy blushes on Jody's face, and her acquiescence made him feel even more satisfied.He confessed to her his only desire now, and hoped from the bottom of his heart that she would never know the secret he didn't want her to know.

Likewise, Jody won't know how much he's attached to this wish.In order to achieve this wish, he can even devote more patience to Harry Potter than brewing potions, as long as it makes Jody happy and satisfied.

Although Snape's motive was for Jody, for Harry, the care that Professor Snape, who was usually indifferent to him, showed in private this time, made him finally have a good night's sleep these days Sleep.He didn't even dream, and slept until dawn.When he woke up, he found that the Invisibility Cloak had been tucked into his robes. The person who could do this was obviously Professor Snape, which put him in a better mood.

Although Harry felt he was fully recovered when he woke up the next day, Madam Pomfrey kept him in the school hospital for another night before allowing him to leave.

Harry couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief as he left the school hospital.Hermione, Ron, and Neville had all visited him yesterday, but the brief time they had been allowed to visit, and the presence of Madam Pomfrey, made it difficult for him to tell them about his adventure the night before.And he didn't know how to explain it to his friends. After encountering such a dangerous thing, his first reaction was to go to their Potions Master.

But the time in the hospital had given Harry a lot of time to sort things out in his head about the Philosopher's Stone, Voldemort, Quirrell, and Professor Snape, and now he had fully figured out how to tell them about them.

The blue sky in early summer was mesmerizingly blue. Harry, Ron, Neville and Hermione had originally arranged to review their homework together under the shade of a tree by the Black Lake.The fresh air outside always makes people feel very happy, even the hard-working students who are about to face exams.

But now, Harry's friends all looked solemn and shocked, and even Hermione didn't pay attention to the notes at hand.Although it was quite a distance from the Forbidden Forest, their expressions looked as if Voldemort might rush towards them from the Forbidden Forest at any moment.

"I heard from Professor McGonagall that divination and other magics are very inaccurate." Hermione was angry and disturbed by the centaur's curse on Harry, "and there is Dumbledore in the school, and people say that the mysterious People are most afraid of Dumbledore, he will do nothing to you, Harry."

"Don't be nervous, Hermione, I'm not afraid that Voldemort will show up to deal with me now, the key now is the Philosopher's Stone."

"So, the mysterious man wants the Sorcerer's Stone?" Neville had just heard the amazing news about the Sorcerer's Stone hidden in the restricted area on the fourth floor from Harry and the others.However, Neville, who seemed a bit cowardly, showed calmness and bravery beyond everyone's expectations for this shocking news. "Never let him get the Philosopher's Stone."

Harry glanced at Neville approvingly, "Yes, we both understand that if Voldemort gets the Philosopher's Stone, he can make a comeback, and then it will be bad."

"Please don't say that name again...but I still don't get it," Ron also looked nervous, and he felt quite unbearable for Harry to keep repeating Voldemort's name. "Didn't we suspect that one of Quirrell and Snape wanted to steal the Philosopher's Stone? Why did the mysterious man appear now? Where did he come from? He has disappeared for so many years."

"Don't you understand?" Hermione glared at Ron with a look of hatred. "Regardless of whether the person who is thinking about the Philosopher's Stone is Quirrell or Snape, their purpose of stealing the Philosopher's Stone is not for themselves, but for the mysterious man."

"Merlin..." Neville couldn't help shivering.He seemed more frightened when he heard Snape's name than when he heard Voldemort's.

"I'm sure this time, Professor Snape can be trusted." Harry decided to dispel his friends' doubts about Professor Snape no matter what. "I passed out when I returned to the castle hall that night, but the last person I saw before I passed out was Professor Snape, who must have taken me to the hospital hospital. If Professor Snape was Voldemort's man, he You can take the opportunity to kill me, can't you? In fact, if you think about it carefully, what Professor Snape and Quirrell said makes sense if you reverse their positions. Stuttering Quirrell is far more suspicious."

"Maybe... he was just afraid of Dumbledore. After all, Harry's broom was back to normal that day, just after his robe caught fire. The stands were very chaotic that day, and Quirrell was..." Ron choked in the middle of the sentence In the throat, "Oh..."

"What's wrong?" Everyone looked at Ron in confusion.

Ron swallowed: "It suddenly occurred to me that on the day of the Quidditch match, after Snape's robe caught fire, Quirrell fell under the seat during the chaos... If it was really him..."

After Ron said this, Hermione also thought of this scene, but at that time she was trembling because of being caught by Professor Bubaji, so she didn't think much about it at all.

Harry felt more confident, and he continued to try to dig out Quirrell's abnormality, "Professor Quirrell was fainted by a troll on Halloween, but he is a professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts, how could he be afraid of a troll? ? Maybe, he did it on purpose..."

"That's why Professor Snape said his tricks, maybe he was injured because of Quirrell..." Hermione also followed Harry's train of thought to analyze. "Then their position is different from our previous speculation. It is Professor Snape who is protecting the Philosopher's Stone, and they suspect Quirrell..."

"Well, Quirrell does sound more suspicious than Snape. You know?" Ron said in a disappointed tone, "Actually, I hope the two of them are accomplices, so that if they are found out, they will all leave School. What do you think, Neville?"

"I... I am really afraid of Professor Snape." Neville said hesitantly, "But if he is really protecting the Philosopher's Stone, I hope he can stay. What should we do now?"

"Maybe, we could go and tell Dumbledore, he'd be willing to listen to us..." Or Professor Snape, Harry thought.

"That's a good idea!" Ron and Neville were also very excited, as if they could unravel a super conspiracy in no time.

"But we have no evidence at all." Hermione pointed out the point, "And the things we know can only prove that we violated the school rules."

Hermione's words made the boys bow their heads and regain their composure.

"Forget it, the Sorcerer's Stone is well protected, we shouldn't meddle in our own business now. Luckily, Quirrell doesn't know how to get past the three-headed dog yet, and Hagrid won't betray Dumbledore..." Harry said in the middle , jumped up suddenly, and ran towards Hagrid's cabin. "No, but... maybe..."

"Harry, what's the matter?" Harry's friends hurriedly grabbed their schoolbags and caught up with Harry.

"Don't you think it's strange? Hagrid wants a dragon, and someone loses a dragon egg to him while drinking?" Harry said in a low voice as he ran, it was not easy. "What if that person came to trick Hagrid on purpose?"

Unfortunately, Harry's guess came true.Hagrid actually told the stranger who lost his dragon egg how to pass the three-headed dog.To make matters worse, they couldn't find Dumbledore, nor could they find Professor McGonagall or Professor Snape.In the end, it was Professor Bubaji who told them that the principal and deans seemed to have some important matters to leave the school temporarily, and comforted them that the professors would come back on Monday.

But in fact, neither Dumbledore nor Snape had ever left the school for half a step.They stayed in a corridor on the sixth floor with the other three deans, quietly waiting for Voldemort's arrival.

According to the plan arranged by Dumbledore, the professors have revealed to Quirrell at different times in the past few days some words about the transfer of the Sorcerer's Stone. The reason is that some students have broken into the restricted area on the fourth floor and will Re-arrange a new restricted area on the sixth floor.

Snape's expression tensed, his hand gripping his wand tightly.

He perfectly fabricated a lie to Quirrell, implying that Quirrell wanted him to cooperate with him and take the opportunity to obtain the Philosopher's Stone for the Dark Lord.The time they agreed to act was this afternoon.Dumbledore believed that for such an important matter, Voldemort would definitely not feel relieved to leave it to Quirrell alone.Then he will definitely follow.At the thought that he might see the insane Dark Lord again, Snape could not maintain absolute calm.

Finally, while everyone was waiting nervously, the door that had been closed was pushed open, and the professors immediately started waving their wands and casting spells, turning the place into a maze shrouded in dense fog, no matter who came in Whether the person in question is Quirrell or Voldemort, he will immediately fall into this trap that has been prepared long ago.

"Wait a minute!" But at this moment, Snape suddenly shouted. "It's a student!"

In order to lure the other party into the trap, and in order to let Voldemort go in a logical manner, Snape stood closest to the gate.From his position, he could just see the figure of the intruder, and the black uniform robes and short stature proved that this person was a young student, not Professor Quirrell or the Dark Lord wearing a hood.

Hearing Snape's voice, Dumbledore and the other professors immediately withdrew their offensive spells, and the fog in the corridor disappeared. At the same time, all the professors recognized the intruder's face. identity.

— "Mr. Malfoy?"

However, Draco Malfoy did not become surprised when he saw Snape or other professors. On the contrary, there was a terrible fierce look in his eyes.Unaware that he was only a first-year student, he raised his wand hostilely at the prospective professors.

"My God, this child...was cast with the Imperius Curse." Professor Flitwick immediately saw the crux of the problem.

"For such a small child?!" Professor Sprout covered his mouth in surprise.

Dumbledore cast a spell with a solemn expression, Malfoy immediately stopped and fell straight backwards, Snape stepped forward and caught the fainted Malfoy.

This time, the faces of the professors were unanimously ugly. If the person who came here was Malfoy who was controlled by the Imperius Curse, then where did Voldemort go?
