[HP] Aunt of the Savior

"I think you understand what I mean and what to do, Snape. I suggest you tell me how to contact Jody." Seeing that Snape didn't respond, Barty Jr. added, "You should I understand you..."

Little Barty's attitude towards people has completely changed with the passage of these years, and the most basic politeness and pretense that was retained in the past have now disappeared.He was now very unkind to his fellow Death Eaters of the past, and seemed to feel that what he had suffered over the years was enough to make him the most deserving Death Eater of all to be next to the Dark Lord.

But Barty Jr. didn't finish his sentence, because Snape stared at Barty Crouch Jr. with his black eyes without emotion. The black eyes looked like two empty tunnels, which made people feel Some horror.

The feeling of being stared at by a snake made little Barty shrink his neck almost subconsciously, but he soon came back to his senses, and stared back at Snape not to be outdone, with a winning expression on his face With a smile in his hand, he let out a smug laugh.

Lucius on the side raised his eyebrows watching the confrontation between the two, and the corners of his mouth twitched unnoticed.Of course Jody had told Barty Jr. that Jody and Snape had been in close contact over the years, and were still in touch even now.Although Barty Crouch Jr. looks healthy now, his mental state seems to be abnormal. Apart from the Dark Lord, the only thing that can attract his attention is Jody Potter.

It has never been a secret among the Death Eaters that Barty Crouch Jr. likes Jody Potter, especially for the keen Malfoy, it is definitely a hole card worth holding in his hand.If Lucius can help find Jody, Barty Jr. agrees to prove Malfoy's loyalty to the Dark Lord.

After seeing that Snape was still in close contact with Jody, especially after their last meeting, Lucius didn't expect Snape to stand in his own camp among the Death Eaters, he had to think Think of a way - but when he met Snape's cold eyes, he couldn't help but start to wonder if his decision was wrong.

"I understand?" Snape spoke slowly after looking back at Lucius, with a shocking power he had developed over the years as a professor at Hogwarts.He knew why Barty Jr. came to talk to him about this. "Do you think I will agree to your ridiculous request?"

"Ridiculous?" Little Barty obviously couldn't tolerate Snape's superior attitude, and his volume became louder.

"Forgive me for reminding you," Snape smiled maliciously, showing his white teeth - when you're surrounded by a girl you love, your teeth have no chance of turning yellow. "The relationship between me and Joe is in the hands of me and Joe. And the choice of whether to contact me is in Joe's hands, just like the dance partner was decided by her at the prom. Of course I It's impossible to make any decisions for her, and I don't think you'll be able to get what you want from me. Don't you think your request is stupid, ridiculous and absurd? Your brain is lost in AZ The Caban, the Crouches, or Malfoy Manor? If possible, I hope you can get it back, I don't think the master needs a servant with no brains."

Snape rarely used the nicknames they got along with when referring to Jody to other people, and his serious personality made him usually still call her by her first name when facing other people.But this time, he purposely said this in a showy way in front of little Barty, with an intimate tone.

Snape's words obviously took effect, Little Barty's pale face quickly flushed red at a speed visible to the naked eye, and even the freckles on his face seemed to have faded a lot.He muttered under his breath, looking at Snape with hatred, "No, the master promised me, and you..."

His brows suddenly relaxed, and a smile appeared on his face again, "You have neither the utmost trust from the master, nor are you qualified to have Jody."

When Snape Jr. mentioned that the Dark Lord had promised this sentence, his heart suddenly felt caught.What he and Jody feared the most had actually happened.Even Regulus, who had the best friendship with Batty Jr., didn't know that the Dark Lord had made a promise.But the blow to Snape didn't seem to end there.

"I need to talk to Snape." After regaining his confidence, Little Barty suddenly said coldly to Lucius next to him, and unceremoniously issued an order to evict the owner of the VIP room, the Three Broomsticks . "Talk alone."

"..." Lucius frowned, looking reluctant.

"This is about the Dark Lord, I think you know he doesn't want people to know what they shouldn't know." Little Barty's words finally made Lucius give in.He walked out of the room with a wry smile, and finally had to admit that it was his mistake to rescue Barty Crouch Jr.

"So, what exactly are you going to say?" Snape licked his lips and spoke as calmly as possible.

"I'm the person the master trusts the most!" Batty Jr. patted the coffee table in front of him with both hands, leaned forward, and his eyes almost protruded, looking quite terrifying. "So I know some secrets, such as..." He stared at Snape with a terrible smile, "about a certain prophecy that led to the death of the Potters."

Snape's body tensed up, the lines of his face so rigid that he looked like a statue carved out of marble.He felt that the voice he made didn't seem to be his own: "I don't understand what you mean."

"No, you understand, Snape!" Little Barty looked at Snape and laughed at him unscrupulously. "You know very well that you overheard that prophecy and told the master that you caused Jody to lose her relatives."

After a moment of silence and uneasiness, Snape's face suddenly showed disdain, his voice seemed natural, and he believed in what he said: "So what? Joe doesn't care about such things, She'll be happy, not angry, that I've helped her get the sole succession to the Potter family. She hates James Potter, and his mudblood wife. It's no big deal."

"Yeah, that's exactly what Jody looks like." Barty Jr. nodded, his voice softening, and the obsession seemed no less fervent than when he mentioned the Dark Lord. "But I don't believe it, never did. She's not the cold kind..."

He said, looking at Snape contemptuously. "You don't understand anything, do you? You don't know that the way she looked at that James Potter never changed, not even when she was on the battlefield. I know I'm not mistaken, because I've been looking at her all the time, I know the meaning in every look of her eyes, I understand her, she loves her family, she doesn't want them to die, even if they don't approve of her path..."

Snape's heart was clenched even tighter, and he felt that every word Barty Jr. said now would bring him a heavy burden.Every time someone talked about the deaths of the Potters, he would feel that it was a kind of torture to his heart and soul.But this time, apart from the sense of guilt when he mentioned this matter, what made him feel even more unbearable was that Crouch was able to get so much truth from Jody's eyes—he almost guessed all of them. .

It never occurred to Snape that there would be another person who could understand Jody so well, who could see her plans so perfectly hidden.Crouch didn't even get much information from Jody, he already learned so much.He didn't want to admit it, and he didn't want to face the reality: on the issue of James' status in Jody's heart, he had indeed lost to Barty Crouch Jr., whom he had never paid attention to.

If at that time he could have woken up earlier, given up his stupid and ridiculous desire for monopoly earlier, and hadn't quarreled with Jody, then maybe he wouldn't have appeared in the Pig's Head Bar at that time, and wouldn't have heard the prophecy that changed everyone's fate , will not bear this almost inextricable sin now.

"If Jody knew that you caused all this, what do you think Jody would think? Of course, she wouldn't blame the Dark Lord, but she couldn't possibly forgive you either." Looking at Snape in front of him, he was obviously not the same as before. So calm and arrogant, little Barty tasted a kind of pleasure of revenge, he said proudly.

But these words made Snape regain his sanity a little bit. At least he knew better than Crouch that Jody could not forgive the real murderer, the Dark Lord. She was not as loyal and fanatical as Barty Jr. thought.

But Snape's optimistic thoughts were also destroyed by Crouch.He had hoped that when James and Lily were successfully resurrected, he might be able to confess to Jody as Dumbledore expected, and then he would be forgiven by Jody.Now, he is less optimistic.

"After Jody knows the truth, she will definitely leave you. It is impossible for her to be with you." Batty Jr. pressed on step by step and continued: "Why don't you choose to keep a distance from her now? It doesn't do you any harm, you can still provide her with the help you can, as compensation for your mistakes, and, with Jody, I will prove to the Dark Lord that you have been loyal to him all these years, He won't easily trust you who have worked under Dumbledore for so many years, you should be clear... This may affect your future, your life, or your death... You can escape all this, as long as You brought Jody to me..."

In fact, Snape didn't listen to what Barty said later.

If Jody found out about this and really decided to leave him, it would make no difference to him at all whether he lived or was killed by Voldemort.He ignored Barty Jr., but he also knew that it was impossible to stop this matter, unless he killed Barty Jr. now, but even so, the Dark Lord might tell Jody about it.He wondered why he hadn't thought of this possibility before.Why didn't he worry that Jody would know the truth of this matter after returning to the Dark Lord's side?

Perhaps, he should have gone to the Dark Lord before Jody, separated her from the Dark Lord, kept her from being involved in something so dangerous, then she wouldn't know...

A distraught Snape cast himself a Disillusionment Charm, allowing him to return to Hogwarts and walk into Jody's office without being seen.He had made an appointment with her to come and tell her what had happened after he had seen Malfoy.

Jody wasn't in the office, but the lights were on.In the absence of the dancing flames in the fireplace, the light in the room seemed much dimmer. Snape didn't want to sit down. He stood against the wall, staring at Jody's usual sitting position in a daze.He canceled the Disillusionment Charm, but the black robe still made him look like he was melting into the thick shadow by the wall.

In any case, he could no longer escape, he had to tell Jody everything as soon as possible, even if she left him because of it.He can't give her to anyone with his own hands, and he can't let her know from anyone that this is the biggest and cruelest blow to her and him.

If this was the end they had to go through, he'd rather be the one who ruined all this goodness.
