[HP] Aunt of the Savior

"You fly pretty well," Jody told Snape on the way back to the Slytherin common room after class.

There was a strange look on Snape's face. "Jodi, if you want to apologize for your brother, you don't need to do this." He didn't think his performance just now could be called good.

In the flying lesson just now, although Snape managed to conquer his own broom in the end, he almost let James fall from the air afterwards - he knew that it was not an accident that James claimed to Mrs. Hooch, James did it because He flew so close to that guy's baby sister!

This was not the first time James had troubled Snape. If he hadn't been holding on to the broom so tightly just now, he would definitely have fallen off the broom.After finding that Snape was still sitting on the broom, and Mrs. Hooch noticed him again, James immediately flew over to apologize, but it sounded completely insincere to Snape.Just when they left the venue, Lily was still arguing with James and the others over this matter!

"Oh no, I didn't mean to apologize for him." Jody shrugged. "I admit that James did try to knock you off the broom on purpose, but you fought back right away, didn't you? The Potters are all giants with muscles but no heads? Ha, Severus, no A troll with a head doesn't apologize. I'm just saying, to be fair, you fly really well, and you can stay on your broom after being hit, which is pretty good for a novice."

James' actions just now were indeed excessive, and Jody had no doubt that if he hadn't been watching all the time just now, James would have used other tricks to deal with Snape.However, Snape's retorted words made Jody completely lose interest in fighting for Snape.

It was only then that Snape belatedly thought of the important fact that Jody walking beside him was still a Potter even if he was a Slytherin who made good friends with him.He groaned for a long time, not thinking about what he should say.When faced with this kind of situation, he can't always be as smooth as when he counters the opponent's provocation.At that time, he only thought that he couldn't miss the opportunity to fight back because of momentary hesitation like he did on the train, but forgot more important things.Did that damn fear of heights make him leave his brain in the dormitory?

Doris, who was walking with them, habitually kept her mouth shut.Her twittering habit was more effective than the Silencing Charm when it encountered Snape.However, Jody has been working hard to change Snape's terrifying impression in Doris's heart these days. She habitually turned her head and asked Doris: "Doris, what do you think?"

"I...I..." Poor Doris was too nervous to speak when she met Snape's cold gaze, and now Snape was even more gloomy than usual.She looked at Jody nervously, "I'm sorry, I still have something to do, I have to go back first!"

"I... I'm not..." Nott left just in time - Snape thought.If no one else was there, he thought he might be able to better explain to Jody what he was talking about at the time. "I didn't mean to say that, I didn't mean that. I was just...uh..."

Well, he's still not good at explaining, even when no one else is there. "terribly sorry."

"James started this matter, so I can't blame you." Seeing Snape's eagerness to defend but lacking in words, Jody suddenly felt that he was not angry at all. "Though I have no interest in being a troll."

"Of course you're not," Snape muttered, not noticing Jody's change of mood.He had a hunch that he'd messed things up again, like he'd always done before.The more he craves friendship, the easier it is to mess things up.

"Actually, I should say I'm sorry, Severus." Jody said softly, looking at the black-haired boy who suddenly became dejected. "But it's not what you understood just now. I don't intend to apologize for James, but to apologize to you for myself. If it wasn't for me, James wouldn't bother you."

Hearing Jody's words, Snape suddenly raised his head to look at her, without even noticing the strong uneasiness in his eyes.

He suddenly thought of Lily's sister Petunia.She also hated herself, hated being near Lily.Petunia hated him before, and he could comfort himself by saying that he was just a stupid Muggle, but now facing James, who was also a wizard, Snape felt that he had no reason to convince himself anymore.

Maybe he really was just a "nasty little monster," and maybe now, or sometime later, Miss Potter would realize it.After he'd insulted her family - and he knew purebloods cared a lot - she'd keep his distance, like the rest of the Slytherins.Oh, he thought he didn't care if people liked him or hated him, but now he realized that wasn't the case.

Snape wasn't sure which of his new discoveries would be more frustrating than the possibility of him losing a new friend.

"Don't worry." Jody said earnestly, staring at the black-haired little wizard with the same black pupils as himself. "I will definitely solve this matter. But if James comes to mess with you for no reason next time..." Speaking of his twin brother, Jody suddenly raised the corners of his mouth cunningly. "I don't mind if you choose to send him to the school hospital instead of our whole family being classified as a troll by you."

Snape nodded slightly.Fortunately, his cheeks have been habitually tense, which prevented him from grinning stupidly.The corners of his lips curled up slightly, and the gloomy mood just now returned to calm in an instant. The girl's sly smile told him that he had not lost the friendship that he had pushed away repeatedly at the beginning.

Snape was happy - though he'd only just realized how much he cared about the only friendship he'd had in Slytherin.

After that, James really didn't take the initiative to provoke Snape.Even when Gryffindor and Slytherin were in class together, the sneaky tricks and the taunting at Snape didn't happen again.Snape didn't know what method Jody used, he tried to find out, but she just laughed and dragged the topic away.

By the end of the four-week flying lesson, Snape was already very proficient in riding a broom, and his fear of heights had improved a lot accordingly.Like the other students, he completed the flying test assigned by Mrs. Hooch and returned to the lawn steadily.Although the test was not difficult, Snape was finally relieved.He swore that if it was not a last resort, he would never sit and fly in the sky stupidly again.

Among these students, no one is as outstanding as James. He flies very well. The tattered broom of the school seems to be integrated with him in his hands. He screamed excitedly, flying fast He was sprinting and doing somersaults on a broom. Although Mrs. Hooch whistled to remind him to pay attention to safety, her eyes were shining with appreciation.

"James, you will definitely be on the Quidditch team next year." Sirius applauded his good friend who returned to the ground.In fact, he flies well by himself. To be more precise, he flies very handsomely, but he is not as fancy and exciting as James flies.

Sirius' handsome appearance already made him particularly attractive, but his pure-blood Slytherin family tradition, the terrifying cousin of the housekeeper, and his current status as Gryffindor, as well as his The shouting letter that Feng received in the first week of school made him a hot topic of discussion in Hogwarts at the beginning of school.

So after being viewed as a magical beast for two months, Sirius had completely lost interest in being noticed.His recent new interest is wandering around in the middle of the night with a few good friends in his dormitory, exploring the wonders of Hogwarts Castle. This castle has too many unknown secrets waiting for the students to discover, and they They hold a secret weapon that facilitates their exploration - James's invisibility cloak.They can take risks and pull some extraordinary mischief.Who would have imagined that the haunted pumpkin floating in the air in full view on Halloween was actually created by them wearing invisibility cloaks?

Of course, these little adventures and tricks have brought the Gryffindor cubs closer together.

"Why can't the first grade join the Quidditch team?" James said regretfully. "Think about it, Potter, the youngest Quidditch player in this century! How resounding is this title!"

"Oh, Professor McGonagall won't agree." Lupine shook his head with a gentle smile. "But you don't have to be so anxious. Like Sirius said, just wait for one more year, and you will definitely be able to enter the team."

"Come on, too, how great it would be if we were all on the team!"

Peter looked at James adoringly, blinking his small eyes, with a frustrated expression on his face. "No, I don't think I'm flying well enough."

"My body doesn't allow me to play Quidditch." Lupine's tone was also regretful. "Last time I missed a flight lesson, but fortunately I was able to pass the test today."

"Speaking of which, you said that the last time you went home to see your mother, did she feel better?"

While Sirius and Peter were concerned about Lupine's absence, James looked away to the other side: Jody was with Evans and the snot-nosed man with his usual faint smile, and they didn't have James It's so lively here, but the atmosphere looks good.

Sensing his brother's gaze, Jody turned his head subconsciously.James hurriedly looked away, and then he was annoyed at his guilt for no reason.He knew that he would never be able to hold back Jody—this girl actually negotiated with him about the Invisibility Cloak, threatening him to tell his parents to take the Invisibility Cloak back if he harassed Snape again.

In order to ensure that his necessities during the night tour would not be confiscated, James had to make concessions.But even he couldn't deny that he and Jody got on really well, even though he didn't like the snot-nosed one.And most importantly, he didn't participate in the last Quidditch battle between Gryffindor and Slytherin.

Last weekend, the first Quidditch match of the school year kicked off, Gryffindor vs. Slytherin.The two teams are evenly matched and do not give in to each other.The players were playing in full swing in the air, and the spectators in the stands were too excited for themselves.After the Slytherin team won with malicious fouls, the situation was completely out of hand.When the players returned to the ground, the students from the two colleges also rushed out of the auditorium and started a scuffle on the Quidditch pitch. Excess stamina that has not been consumed.

In the end, Professor McGonagall, who stopped the chaos, deducted [-] points from each of the two colleges as punishment.James, who was bruised and bruised with a group of Slytherins he didn't know at all, didn't realize that he didn't see Snape or Jody on the pitch until the school hospital began to worry about his sister's safety.This incident actually made James' impression of Snape a little better, at least he didn't curse and shake his fist like those nasty Slytherins, didn't he?

Of course, James could never have imagined how happy Jody and Snape had been that afternoon.

After Lily was invited by enthusiastic friends to watch a Quidditch match, Jody and Snape, who had little interest in the spectacle, decided to spend the day off in a more interesting (for them) way.

They first went to the library to borrow a bunch of books they hadn’t read, and Jody specially recommended some history books introduced by Miss Bagshot; then, they practiced several magic tricks in the empty room they had used several times before. During the preparation of the potion, Snape shared with Jody a few tips on how he handled the ingredients of the potion; finally, he returned to enjoy a rare quiet time in front of the fireplace in the empty common room, studying spells and Pleasant topics like the cultivation of magical plants.

By the time the students who had finished watching the match and fighting returned to the common room, Jody and Snape had already gone back to their dormitories.They are very satisfied with this quiet holiday.

——like James grinning his teeth and thinking that the holiday after watching Quidditch and fighting again is very good.
