[HP] Aunt of the Savior

If Grindelwald was the one who owned the Elder Wand, then after Grindelwald's defeat to Dumbledore in 1945, the whereabouts of the Elder Wand seems to be easy to guess.

Thinking of Dumbledore's blue eyes that always looked calm behind his half-moon glasses, Jody smiled bitterly.Although the Elder Wand is so close to her now, unless she explains her plan to the old wizard who seems to know everything, she has no way of getting it-she can't get it from Dumbledore Take or steal that wand.

"Maybe we really don't need to do things for Mrs. Bastard in exchange for information about the Elder Wand." Snape asked with a puzzled face, "But...you have the Resurrection Stone?"

"Oh, yes." Speaking of this, Jody seemed hesitant. "In fact, I have always had it in my hand, the resurrection stone and the invisibility cloak, they are..."

Before Jody finished speaking, he was interrupted by a sudden knock on the door.Harry's urgent and suppressed voice came from outside the study door, "Aunt Jody! Professor Snape! May I bother you?"

"Damn..." Snape cursed under his breath, as he saw Jody turn around and open the door for him the moment he heard Harry's voice.

"Harry, what's the matter?" Jody smiled at Snape apologetically for having to interrupt their conversation for a while.But she was more worried about Harry now than the Hallows, and Harry's voice was wrong.

"I... I might have been seen by Ron." Harry was sweating profusely as he ran, and his tone seemed flustered. His hair, which was usually messed up like a bird's nest, looked even messier now. "I think he probably saw me, but I didn't expect that he would never go to the mountains at that time..."

"Why don't we sit down and talk?" Jody walked into the study with his arm around Harry's shoulders, and seated him in an armchair. "Calm down, Harry."

Snape said impatiently, "Well, what happened?"

When Snape asked this sentence, Jody couldn't help giving him a disapproving look.In fact, they had already guessed something from Harry's two sentences just now.This made Snape's tone unconsciously sneer.

"I... I plan to fly outside for a while after dinner." Harry looked annoyed and worried. "But I didn't think I saw Ron and his brothers there, and I... I think they saw me too."

"So, our brave Gryffindor, just ran home from the mountain in a panic?" Snape raised his eyebrows, "I don't understand, are the Weasleys better than the snake in the Chamber of Secrets?" Strange or scary?"

Harry glanced at Jody uneasily, pursed his lips subconsciously, and showed a perplexed look on his still childish face.He hadn't written about the basilisk to Aunt Jody in his letter, but it seemed certain that Professor Snape wouldn't keep it a secret from his aunt.Oh, or it would be hard to keep it a secret—Harry knew that the monster in the Chamber of Secrets was something that all Hogwarts students were happy to talk about this year, so when the students returned home from the holidays, the news would come quickly. If it spread throughout the wizarding world, Aunt Jody would know about it sooner or later.

In fact, even Harry himself didn't understand why he ran back in such a panic just now.At that time, he only thought that for Ron and the others, as Harry Potter, he should not appear near the Burrow at this time, and only James Evans would appear on that hill during the holidays.But thinking about it now, even if Ron really saw him, he might not be able to expose his past lies!He could probably say Sirius sent him here to find Ron or something...

"Severus, can I speak to Harry alone?" Jody looked at Harry for a moment, then suddenly turned to Snape.

"Well, don't talk too late." Snape finally reluctantly gave up his plan to completely settle the issue of the Deathly Hallows today.He understood that Jody, who had been silently watching Harry as Bubbaji, had probably endured this conversation with Harry Potter for a long time.

When Snape left, Jody sat down across from Harry, who immediately tensed up.He remembered that the last time Aunt Jody had spoken to him so seriously was when she had told him how his parents had died protecting him.

"Harry," Jody said wryly at Harry's apparent nervousness. "Relax, I don't think our conversation needs to be so tense. At least..." She made a deliberate joke. "I don't look scarier than Severus, do I?"

"Oh, of course not, ah, no, I mean..." Harry, who didn't know how to answer, scratched his hair, feeling a little embarrassed that he had affirmed Snape's horror.

"I was just joking, Harry." Jody patted Harry on the shoulder lightly, "Actually, I've wanted to have a good talk with you for a long time. Well, first of all, tonight... Harry , have you considered telling Ron about James Evans?"

"Can I... can I?" Harry asked hesitantly.

"I forged your identity to protect your safety, Harry. I don't think it doesn't matter how many lies you make up to protect your safety. But those lies are only there to protect you, not to hurt you." I don't want to see you feel so guilty about this to your friends. If you trust your best friends, then I think you can tell them something. I guess, Sirius must have told you a lot about him and you Father, Remus at school? You know, Sirius looked more like your father's brother than I did back then, and they talked about everything - friends are important, Harry."

The softness in Jody's eyes made Harry feel relieved involuntarily.Her words also allowed Harry to find an answer that he hadn't even figured out just now.

Yes, guilt.It was the guilt of concealment that made Harry subconsciously want to hide himself, subconsciously not wanting Ron and the other Weasley children to discover his existence.Harry didn't want the Weasleys, who had been so gentle with him, to find out that "James Evans" had been cheating on them.Even if he can clearly think of a bunch of reasons to explain why he appeared at that time, even if he knows that his excuses will be believed... No, it is precisely because he will be believed that he cannot continue to deceive these people and trust him wholeheartedly , People who love him.

"I'll think about it...I'll think about how to explain it to Ron." Harry showed a thoughtful expression.He didn't even realize how relieved he was when he got permission to tell the truth.

This made Jody feel somewhat guilty.She should have realized sooner what a burden good Harry was on deceiving people, especially those he trusted with all his heart.But... Even if she had realized it long ago, would she change her approach?As soon as Jody realized the problem, he immediately put it out of his mind.

"Okay, let's talk about your school life." Jody tensed up a little for the next topic. "Harry, I think you know what I mean, you know what kind of adventures you have been through. So, you should also be able to imagine what I will be when I... when I hear the news such a mood."

"Harry," she gave Harry a stern look that reminded Harry for a moment of a professor, probably Professor McGonagall. "I hope you won't blame Severus for telling me this. There's no way he's keeping something so important from me, your legal guardian, without saying a word, even if he I don't want to see me worrying so much about you."

Soon after Jody returned to the UK, they legally transferred Harry's custody to Jody through Muggle legal procedures.Even though Jody never told Harry, the reason she did it as soon as she got back was actually to prevent Sirius Black, as godfather, from vying for Harry's custody.Also being a pure-blood wizard, Sirius is far less aware of Muggle laws than Jody, who has lived with Muggles since childhood.

"The only relative I have now, a little wizard not yet 13 years old, went to face Voldemort, to destroy the basilisk in the Chamber of Secrets...Harry, you know me...I heard these 'Harry Potter' stories How did you feel when you were on a heroic adventure?"

"Aunt Jody, I..." Harry suddenly noticed a slight tremor in Jody's voice, and his lips moved, with guilt in his expression. "I'm sorry, but I can't ignore it..."

"Harry, I don't want to blame you." This situation forced Jody to be silent for a while, and he calmed down a little before continuing.In fact, she had tried her best to restrain her emotions, but Harry never thought that his aunt Jody didn't hear about these things, but witnessed Harry brushing shoulders with death again and again.If the conditions are not met, she doesn't have that great ability to revive Harry again.And without Harry, she lost all hope.

"I just hope you don't forget what I told you once, and don't forget how precious your life is." Jody stared into Harry's green eyes, and finally couldn't help but hug him in his arms, whispering to him He said in his ear: "I know you are a brave, kind, and righteous child, but even if you encounter something that you have to do, you must first make the best preparations to ensure that you have the greatest strength." The odds of surviving. You must learn to think about this before doing anything, and there is nothing more important than your ability to survive, understand?"

"I understand that I will survive."

"Yes, you will survive," Jody repeated.

It wasn't until later, when Harry recalled Aunt Jody's hug that night, that he realized how warm and cold the hug was at that moment.But right now, he just felt a little embarrassed when Jody let go of his arm.

"Okay," Jody said, rising from his chair. "It's time for you to go to rest, Harry." Her smile was back to normal. "It's late now, you can wait until tomorrow to think about how you should share your secrets with your friends."

Feeling as if his thoughts had been seen through by Aunt Jody, Harry nodded awkwardly, and decided to go to the Burrow to find Ron and tell all about it tomorrow as soon as he could figure out what to say.

After watching Harry go back to her own room, Jody walked towards her and Snape's room.As she'd expected, Snape wasn't asleep yet.He had already changed into his pajamas and was sitting on the bed flipping through a magic book, but it didn't look like his mind was on that book at all.Because when Jody came back into the room, he turned his attention to her so quickly.

When Snape caught sight of him, Jody even thought he was going to ask what she and Harry had talked about or that he was going to continue the conversation that had just been interrupted.But in the end, he didn't ask anything, and seemed to be quietly waiting for Jody to speak.Jody suddenly realized that it had been a long time since Snape took the initiative to ask questions.

"Severus, should I tell Dumbledore about the Deathly Hallows?" Jody looked back at Snape, and suddenly laughed at himself without thinking: "You know, I'm not good at trusting everything except you Anyone but the great Albus Dumbledore."

"But we need his help now..." Hearing Jody's words, Snape had a very rare smile that didn't contain any sarcasm. He was thinking about Jody's question and frowned. There were a few faint fine lines, "...No, maybe, there are other ways..."
