[HP] Aunt of the Savior

What an exciting choice!Since entering Hogwarts at the age of 11, Jody has faced countless choices in her life, but she feels that there is probably no more exciting choice than this one.

The status quo couldn't be more clear: if she resurrects James and Lily now with all the Deathly Hallows she just acquired, then Lily's protective magic will be invalidated, and Harry may actually be killed in the face of Voldemort; If she doesn't resurrect James and Lily, then if Harry fails to remove the soul piece in his body under the Avada Kedavra curse issued by Voldemort himself as Dumbledore speculated, she will lose them forever everyone.

What's more, Dumbledore's understanding eyes made her feel unbearable.She thought the old wizard must understand that there was always a shameful and cruel thought in her heart that she could never express - even if Harry couldn't survive or had to die when he faced Voldemort, if she could rely on If Harry saves James and Lily...

This is of course a decision after weighing the pros and cons rationally.But she doesn't know which side she leans more emotionally, is it her best friend and brother who grew up with her, or the child she watched grow up?She longed to explain and confess to Lily and James, but how could she give up the boy who trusted her wholeheartedly?

Jody took deep breaths hard, trying to relax himself, leaning his body back against the back of the sofa.But her back muscles were still tense.She felt a pang of unspeakable sadness at the fact that Snape hadn't been with her when she heard the news, and she wished he'd been here, to offer her a little support with his arms, with his chest.This thought made her laugh at herself inwardly. Recently, she seemed to have become a little weak because of getting along with Snape without barriers. Like any ordinary woman, she was mentally and subconsciously To rely on your lover.

There's nothing wrong with the change, at least it's more manipulative than the manipulative she's been bothered with for over 20 years, but the timing is wrong.They still have to fight, and she cannot be weak until Voldemort is completely destroyed.

Jody straightened up, trying to get rid of the flash of weakness in her, and a little relief from the pain of this difficult choice.

Dumbledore's eyes showed loving approval and encouragement.In any case, Jody was a strong little girl.

Phoenix Fox appeared in this room at some point, it landed on Jody's lap, and softly let out a soft low cry.The chirping calmed Jody's tense nerves, and she became the one who could calmly deceive anyone, even Snape and Dumbledore.

"So, maybe I should let Harry be hit by his Avada Kedavra once after Voldemort's resurrection?" Jody raised his eyebrows high, with self-deprecation in his tone. "If I hadn't taken Harry away that night, maybe I wouldn't have had a choice now."

"I'm afraid that won't work," said Dumbledore, "but that's between me and Harry, Jody."

"I know your habits, just like I don't tell everything to the people around me." Jody stared at Dumbledore suspiciously: "But I want to know, if you hide my things, it will help you Did Leigh survive?"

"To be honest, I can't guarantee it, but I am willing to believe in Harry." Dumbledore took a deep breath, closed his eyes and opened them again: "We should all believe in Harry."

"I hope your speculation is as correct this time as it is every time. Actually, I have another piece of good news to tell you about Horcruxes today." Jody abruptly changed the subject, with a forced smile on his face , Dumbledore has no doubt that she must have been much happier when she discovered this Horcrux than she is now.

"What is it?" When talking about the Horcrux, Dumbledore quietly canceled the spell that isolated them from Grindelwald, which made Grindelwald, who had been silent all the time, look a little better.He was very dissatisfied with Jody's uncooperative efforts to free Dumbledore from the heavy responsibility of being some kind of spiritual support, and he certainly didn't like being cut off from the conversation.

"We found Ravenclaw's diadem." Although the mood was slightly affected by the topic just now, Jody was still very excited when it came to this Horcrux. "As we previously guessed, the diadem is hidden in Hogwarts."

"Voldemort held Hogwarts very seriously, the place meant a lot to him, and judging by where he hid his other Horcruxes, I wouldn't be surprised that he would hide one of them at Hogwarts."

"Not every student who values ​​Hogwarts will hide a Horcrux here..." Jody shrugged.

"So, where did Voldemort hide his Horcrux?" Grindelwald asked with great interest.He has a strong interest in Hogwarts now, and he thinks he understands more and more why Dumbledore is willing to spend his whole life in this castle.

"A... very magical room. Remus called it the Room of Response." Jody was very fascinated by the magic principle of that magical room and the magic circle it might contain. If possible, she really wanted to stay there Study in the room for a while.

Speaking of which, being able to find this Horcrux is thanks to the Gryffindors who like to explore.Although Jody and Snape later realized that they had used it too - it was the place Lucius had chosen for the Dark Society when they first started learning the Dark Arts.It is said that this location was told by Voldemort to Lucius, and it was a very safe place he found when he was at Hogwarts.But both Jody and Snape believed that none of the Slytherins really knew the wonder of this room.Every time they follow the rules and think about entering this black magic classroom, they never imagined that this place can be changed at will according to the wishes of the users.

But to Gryffindors who love to explore, and especially to hijackers, the secret of this room is not a secret at all.

When Jody was almost known to everyone who should know the identity of Professor Bubbaji, Jody also decided to try to ask Lupine something-she didn't tell Lupine about the Horcrux, but she thought it would be possible. The Gryffindor hijackers who made those maps undoubtedly knew better than she did where there were places in Hogwarts where things could be hidden without being seen.And fortunately for her, the werewolves who stayed at Hogwarts were always gentle and considerate, which also effectively eased Snape's resistance to asking the hijacker for help in finding the Horcrux.

"Oh, if it's hiding things, there's no better place than the Room of Requirement." Lupine answered almost without thinking.

"The Room of Requirement?"

"This room is so magical that you can't find it on the Marauder's Map—it's a hidden room on the eighth floor opposite the tapestry where the troll sticks and fools Barnabas. Usually it's just a wall, but if you think Go back and forth in front of the tapestry three times for your own needs, and there will be a room you need."

Hearing Lupine's words, Harry's eyes widened in surprise.He still remembered that when he was most lost and saddest, he found a bedroom exactly like his room in the cupboard apartment. It was that room that gave him the most appropriate comfort and tranquility, and kept him from being overwhelmed by anger. Losing her mind and losing her mind didn't spoil the secret Aunt Jody wanted to keep hidden.

He glanced at Jody and Snape, who were thoughtful after hearing Lupin's words, and secretly speculated in his heart that after Aunt Jody and Professor Snape knew the secret, he would take his friends to explore the Room of Requirement What is the probability of success.

"It seems that the Dark Lord sometimes looks like a Gryffindor—he seems to be particularly good at discovering such secret places." When they followed Lupine's prompt to the Room of Requirement to search for Horcruxes, Snape couldn't help but Live up to such harsh reviews.

Jody couldn't help laughing at Snape's comment.Indeed, how Voldemort was able to break into the girls' bathroom to find the entrance to the Slytherin Chamber of Secrets, and how he discovered such a secret room, is really quite curious.

The room where the things were hidden was like a Muggle recycling bin. The things inside were all old and dirty, but soon, they found the quilt among the dirty things. A crown placed on a plaster statue.It is exactly the same as the pattern drawn in the history books, and it also looks like it is covered with a thick layer of dust.Snape carefully blocked its breath with a spell discovered by Dumbledore, and then put it into the enchanted pocket wearing dragon leather gloves.

"After we go back, we can use it to do experiments, maybe... there will be a breakthrough." Jody's tone was full of expectations that even he didn't have confidence in.After being in contact with so many horcruxes, she knows how difficult it is to destroy the soul pieces inside without damaging the horcruxes. "We've probably found all the Horcruxes, Slytherin's locket, Gaunt's ring, Hufflepuff's gold cup and Ravenclaw's diadem... by the way, and Voldemort's student days The diary that was made. Recently, Lucius has been very careful to prevent Voldemort from asking about his Horcrux. He provided the Malfoy Manor for Voldemort to live in, which made both of them tremble. This is really not a person to please Voldemort. good idea."

Grindelwald calmly poured cold water on Jody: "However, Voldemort didn't necessarily only do these few things, given how crazy he is."

"But how do we know how many Horcruxes Voldemort made?" Jody said annoyedly. "He can't tell us himself, can he? Maybe I can try to imply that the Order of the Phoenix is ​​looking for his Horcruxes and destroying them." , he will transfer the remaining Horcruxes by himself?"

"There is one person who may know how many Horcruxes Voldemort made. Regulus has been trying to find out about this recently..." Dumbledore glanced at Fawkes, who jumped from Jody's lap to On Dumbledore's shoulders, the feathers on his body burned like flames. "He originally planned to go to Hogwarts to find me today, but we can change the meeting place..."

Not long after, a strange young man Apparated to Dumbledore's door.Had Harry been there, he would have recognized the man as the Mr. McCafferty whom he had seen at the Quidditch World Cup and who had vanished, Regulus Black, of course.

Regulus had just knocked lightly on the door, and the door creaked and opened by itself.

"Come in!" Grindelwald, who was sitting in the living room, withdrew the wand in his hand, looking anti-client.

Regulus glanced at the strange old wizard strangely, but as a cautious Slytherin, he didn't ask anything, but directly told a shocking news.

"Professor Slughorn is dead." Regulus' voice was weak and sad. "I went to see him twice, and he was even a little hesitant and wavering to tell me everything he was hiding. But today, after the Death Eaters' mass escape, I was worried, so I went to see where he lived. He, it turns out..."

Following Regulus' silence, the room was suddenly enveloped in a heavy atmosphere.

"Is he really dead?" But Jody couldn't help asking.Seeing Regulus' surprised expression, she had no choice but to explain: "You know, our former Mr. Dean was an out-and-out Slytherin—even if he didn't pay much attention to the so-called blood lineage theory, but he had enough High vigilance hides itself well when it notices Voldemort's resurrection."

"Oh..." Regulus didn't seem like Jody and Snape had memories of being cheated by Professor Slughorn in the past, he obviously didn't consider this possibility. "However, the blood there doesn't look fake. The scene is very chaotic. Even if he is still alive, he might have been kidnapped..."

"Kidnapping shouldn't be possible." Jody said confidently. "With Severus now, Voldemort doesn't necessarily have to catch Professor Slughorn. He will only go because of Professor Slughorn. Killed him for his uncooperative escape as a warning to those who would not obey his orders. I believe that Lucius, who has suffered for this, would be willing to take on the job...but only if those stupid Death Eaters have Ability to kill Professor Slughorn. Maybe we should look for it, maybe he just hid it cleverly."

"Based on what I know about Horace, it is indeed very possible." Dumbledore agreed with Jody's analysis, "But the question is, when Voldemort has already begun to gather his forces, do we have so many people?" time spent searching for Horace."
