[HP] Aunt of the Savior

Seeing that Lucius led Draco into Knockturn Alley, Snape's eyes flashed with surprise.He thought Lucius Malfoy was going to keep his son airtight and protected!In Snape's opinion, Lucius loved Draco more than Jody loved Harry.

Thinking of his previous guess, Snape put his hand on the hood of the cloak, turned a corner, Apparated to the other side of Knockturn Alley, and walked towards Malfoy and his son as if nothing had happened.

"Severus, that's amazing." Lucius seemed to have shaken off his previous uneasiness and returned to his usual air of posturing.His voice was kept low, obviously considering that as a Hogwarts professor, Snape didn't want to be found in a place like Knockturn Alley.

"Ah, Lucius." Facing Lucius, Snape also had that kind of disgusting grim expression on his face, and he nodded towards Malfoy without enthusiasm.

"Professor Snape, hello." Despite taking many potions for recuperation, Draco's face was still pale, and he looked a little weak. "Thank you very much for those potions you brewed for me."

"That's nothing, you are my student after all, and your father and I are friends." Snape nodded lightly, "I hope Mr. Malfoy won't waste my time on you, Start the new year of study in the best condition."

"I will." Draco whispered.

"So, Severus, what are your plans for coming to Knockturn Alley today?"

"I want to go to Borgin-Bock to see if there is anything interesting. At the same time, I want to order some potion materials that are not easy to buy in Diagon Alley. I need to expand my private reserves a little bit."

"It's completely understandable." As they spoke, they had already reached the door of Bojin-Bock's shop.Sandwiching Draco between them, the two adults entered the largest, but most eerie shop on the street.

The boss, Mr. Bok, is stooped and always looks like a hunchback. He warmly received them.When Lucius was talking to Bock, Snape followed Draco who was looking around, avoiding a little distance, so as not to arouse Lucius' wariness and suspicion.He pretended to be particularly interested in those cursed dark magic items, but his ears were quietly listening to their conversation.Obviously, Lucius also encountered some troubles due to the raid by the Ministry of Magic. He negotiated the price with Bock and agreed that Bock would pick it up in person tomorrow.

After confirming that they had reached an agreement, Snape asked Bork about some extremely rare potion ingredients, which could only be obtained on the black market. It was not the first time he had dealt with this boss. Lucius obviously No problems found.Neither of the two Slytherins got what they were interested in, which made them a little frustrated.

"I still have to take Draco to buy textbooks and other things, so I'm leaving." Lucius took one last look at Snape, and led Draco out of Borgin-Bock, he didn't want to look at Draco Coe was unduly interested in the dark magic products here that were only good for thieves.

Snape just nodded indifferently to Lucius' farewell, and then left calmly after Borgin-Bock filled out the order form.But Snape never expected that just after he and Malfoy and his son left separately, Harry Potter came out of the cabinet where he was hiding, covered in ashes, and slipped out of this restaurant called "Borgin-Bock". Horrible store.

Harry felt like he was having a rough day.Before, he'd thought Apparation was terribly uncomfortable, but now he found that Floo powder was far worse than Apparation.At least Apparation always got him there safely, and the Floo powder had him now falling out of a fireplace door out of nowhere, and seeing scenes that made him particularly uncomfortable.

Harry knew that Professor Snape had a good relationship with the Malfoy family since last year, but this year he still felt particularly uncomfortable seeing them appear together in this shop that obviously specialized in dark magic items.He forced himself to repeat what Luna said that day several times, and then found himself miserably lost in Knockturn Alley.If the burly and tall hunting ground guard hadn't appeared in time, Harry might not know how to get out of this labyrinth-like Knockturn Alley!

Unexpectedly, Harry Potter also entered Knockturn Alley. Snape took off his hood as soon as he returned to Diagon Alley. Undetected, he searched for the group of red-haired figures.Thanks to the color of their hair, the Weasley family, like the Malfoys, is particularly eye-catching in such a crowded place.

Finally, he found the Weasleys on his second approach to Gringotts.Harry was covered in soot, and Mrs. Weasley was taking out a large brush from her schoolbag to help him brush the dirt.Sirius and Mr. Weasley were chatting enthusiastically with the Grangers, only the Longbottoms were away.

Then Snape also saw Jody.With that Caredy Bubbaji face on her face, she was ebulliently explaining everything about the wizarding world to two apparently Muggle-born boys and their father.

"Professor Bubbaji!"

Hermione was the first to see Jody, and the large group immediately greeted the professor of Muggle Studies enthusiastically.The Grangers seemed to be grateful for the female professor who led their daughter into the wizarding world.It was rare for Ron to agree with Percy: he also liked Professor Bubbaji, mostly because of the big plate of biscuits he ate all by himself.Harry, on the other hand, was grateful to Professor Bubbaji for notifying Dumbledore in time to return to Hogwarts last year.

It seems that Jody's new identity has been trusted and recognized by these Gryffindors.This was something he couldn't do anyway, Snape thought to himself mockingly.For a moment, he almost thought that Jody was going to join this bustling group to go shopping together.

However, after the pleasantries, everyone split up and acted according to their respective goals.Sirius went into the ice cream shop with Harry, Ron, and Hermione, while Snape went to the Lichen Bookstore.The second floor of the bookstore could clearly observe the situation in the small half of Diagon Alley. Of course, he would not foolishly follow behind Harry Potter.

But when Snape walked to the door of Lihen Bookstore, he realized that he had forgotten one very important thing: there was actually Gilderoy Lockhart's book signing here today.

—— "I Can Magic", ha!Snape looked at the smirking Lockhart poster at the door with disgust, and squeezed into the bookstore through a group of middle-aged witches with only pink hormones in their brains.The scene in front of him gave him a bad premonition.All he wanted now was that Jody wouldn't be like these stupid women, only looking at Lockhart's pretty face.

But blond hair... Snape remembered the blond boy Jody had found from Gregorovich's memory, and then mocked himself to overthrow this stupid guess.If Lockhart could do such a thing, Neville Longbottom could one day be a Potions Master.

Snape accidentally saw Malfoy and his son again on the second floor of the bookstore.Lucius Malfoy looked down at the blond wizard in the crowd wearing a blue forget-me-not robe with a contemptuous expression, and his son also let out a low snort in response. "Dumbledore's use of such a person as a professor is simply stupid."

"I agree." Looking at Lockhart who was flamboyant, Snape felt for the first time that Lucius' criticism of Dumbledore was indeed very reasonable.

There was a grumpy photographer jumping around in the crowd to take pictures of Lockhart and the book fans, but Lockhart was obviously not satisfied with the situation in front of him.When Harry in the team was discovered by Lockhart, he immediately pulled Harry out of the crowd, put his arms around his shoulders for a photo, and excitedly announced that he would be the Defense Against the Dark Arts at Hogwarts The great news of the professor of art, and presented Harry with a complete set of books.

As soon as Harry left the center of the crowd, he gave all the books to Ginny who was beside him. He had no affection for the future Defense Against the Dark Arts professor at all.

Sirius, who failed to stop all this from happening, gave Harry an apologetic look, and at the same time quickly made a complete transformation of his appearance before anyone noticed him.To be honest, this kind of transformation is very difficult, and it is not a comfortable thing. Few wizards are willing to do it for a long time, but after guiding Regulus, Sirius, who has a more thorough grasp of this transformation technique, occasionally This deformation is also used to avoid unobtrusive troubles.

And Snape's mood of staying out of the matter from the very beginning finally completely disappeared when he saw Caredy Bubbaji appearing in the crowd.

"Professor Bubaji, this way!"

"Oh, no, Mr. Creevey..." In fact, Jody, who squeezed into the crowd, felt very helpless.The freshman she was in charge of today was a very curious little boy. His small stature had a special advantage at this time, but as an adult Jody, it was not so easy to catch up with him through the crowd.

"Professor Bubbaji?" Lockhart was immediately interested.He took the initiative to stand up in a gentlemanly manner, stretched out his hand to Jody, and gave a hand kiss. "Are you a professor at Hogwarts too?"

"Oh, yes." Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Jody had no way to refuse, so he had no choice but to cooperate and let Lockhart kiss the back of her hand. "I am Caredy Bubbaji, who teaches Muggle Studies."

"Ah, Muggles. I have always agreed with Professor Dumbledore. Maybe some people don't know that my father is a Muggle, and I have two Muggle sisters-of course I never think I am superior to them , and I don't think it would interfere with our kinship - but of course I know Muggles very well, Professor Bubbaji, and I think I should have the honor of calling you Caredy. I'm sure when I get there After Hogwarts, we can have a deeper discussion about the connection between Muggles and the wizarding world."

While Lockhart was chattering enthusiastically to Jody, Snape was ready to leave angrily.He knew he had no position to stop Lockhart from doing this now, but he really didn't want to watch it anymore.

However, Lockhart suddenly exclaimed the moment Snape walked down the stairs, "Professor Snape, is it Professor Severus Snape? Long time no see, Severus, I really didn't Thinking of being your colleague, please come here, okay?"

The crowd immediately made way for Snape.Looking at Snape's expression that almost swallowed Lockhart when he walked over, Jody knew that he must have seen it all just now. Can't help but want to laugh a little.

"Believe it, as your former professor, I also find it hard to believe this." Snape said mockingly, glaring at Lockhart viciously.

"Ah, Severus, Caredy." But Lockhart didn't seem to understand the meaning of Snape's words at all, he happily leaned over to Snape and Jody, "We're going to Together as the professor of Harry Potter. I think we young professors should be closer in school. Come on, why don't we take a picture with Harry Potter together?"

He still wanted to call Harry to take a group photo, but when he raised his head again, he found that the entrance of the bookstore was already in chaos. special figure.

"What's going on?" Lockhart's expression was particularly funny, and he stared blankly outside. "Looks like someone's fighting?"

Snape frowned.The two eye-catching heads in the crowd had already told him who was fighting with whom in the first place.But now he doesn't have the time to laugh at these two fathers who should be more mature and steady than their children—especially one of them is Malfoy who emphasizes demeanor all day long—that they would fight together in the street so stupidly.

Because there's never been a better time to get rid of Lockhart, has there been?
