[HP] Aunt of the Savior

The so-called old place was the empty room frequently used by Jody and Snape.Usually no one passed by that corridor, and that room had obviously been vacant for a long time, so Snape and Jody unceremoniously occupied it for a long time, treating it as a secret base.They've put a number of neglect spells on the door of this room to make it less visible.

Snape was used to experimenting with some potions that were beyond the scope of the textbooks here, or improving the formulas given in the textbooks.Jody will also practice making potions or experimenting with some spells here.Although Lily has been here a few times, but because it is too close to the Slytherin common room, she refused to come again after meeting a Slytherin student—without the guidance of the green road sign, she could not Snape found the room as easily as Jody.

Usually, the shortcut leading to this room is invisible, but this time, Snape and Jody had just reached the corner when they heard a haunting sound echoing from the corridor ahead. Impressive footsteps.It was a rhythmic, crisp sound of high heels.At Hogwarts, these footsteps represent only one person: Bellatrix Black.

It is obviously unwise to deal with that terrifying female housekeeper at such a time—just when Jody and Snape were nervously planning to find a place to hide, they realized that the footsteps suddenly stopped.

At the same time, a cold strange man spoke: "Bella, just stay here!"

The two children looked at each other, only to realize that Bellatrix was not alone.

"Yes, Master." Bellatrix's voice was so eager and humble, completely different from her usual cold tone.

This unprecedented anomaly attracted Snape's curiosity, prompting him to bravely use the cornered stone wall as cover, and secretly peeped.Jody tugged at his robes behind him, but there was absolutely nothing to stop him.

He glanced quietly, turned his head and mouthed to Jody and said, "That's weird, who is that man?"

"Perhaps which professor?" Snape overturned his guess immediately: "No, I have never seen Miss Black be so respectful to any professor."

What Snape said finally made Jody unable to suppress her curiosity any longer. She followed Snape's example and secretly observed the mysterious man under the cover of the stone wall——

It was a man in a hooded black cloak with his back to them.Bellatrix bowed and stood behind him. She no longer had the usual arrogance, and her head that was always raised high was lowered submissively, which gave her a touch of softness.From where they were hiding, she could just see a little bit of her profile, which was the obsession and fanaticism that even a child could understand.

"Want to avoid Dumbledore's eyes and ears," said the mysterious man. "Only the Vault, the Vault is where Slytherin belongs. Slytherin protects his disciples from those annoying portraits that disturb our peace. Of course, so our great headmaster will not be able to pry into my secret. "

Bellatrix didn't speak, and the man didn't need her to express her opinion, just talking on his own.

"Bella, you told me earlier that Professor Fiennes plans to retire next year, and Dumbledore has not yet found a new Defense Against the Dark Arts professor. If I apply to teach, Dumbledore can't find a reason to refuse... ...But that damned Dumbledore still rejected me." There was anger in the man's cold voice. "He rejected me again!"

"I'm sorry, Master, stupid Dumbledore, I'll regret it sooner or later!" Bellatrix said through gritted teeth. "That crazy old man!"

"Unfortunately, I am very sorry." The man's voice was a little high-pitched and sharp, but suddenly calmed down. "I've come a long, long way back to Hogwarts, and I'm back - much later than I expected - but I'm back. I gave Dumbledore one last chance, and I even Promised to put my talents and myself at his disposal, but he still rejected me. No, he never intended to accept me from the beginning, even though he gave me a chance for an interview... Yes, the reason why he Accepting my visit, maybe just to meet me on his turf, to take the opportunity to demonstrate to me. Yes, that's how it is... from the beginning, the beginning..."

"It's really stupid!" Bellatrix was so angry that she screamed, "How dare you demonstrate to you!"

"Dumbledore should understand this truth better than others. Greatness leads to envy, envy leads to resentment, and resentment breeds lies. Because of this, talented people will experience more obstacles and twists and turns than mediocre people." The man spit out a series of long sentences like chant.

Snape's gloomy black eyes flashed a strange light the moment he heard these words, he felt that his confusion suddenly had a perfect answer, and the troubles in his heart seemed to fly to the distant sky at once.This made him tense all the muscles unconsciously, as if an invisible flame burned from the soles of his feet when he heard these words, making his whole body scorched by the heat. He subconsciously hugged himself with his arms, as if he could feel small boiling bubbles in the blood vessels under his skin.

He listened more attentively to every word and sentence the man said, with a hungrily attitude, he couldn't even feel the girl beside him holding his arm, forgetting that they shouldn't stay here any longer Overhear.

"Jealousy, resentment, lies--I have long been accustomed to these, Bella. When I chose this path, I had already left other people's opinions behind. Even Dumbledore No big deal, but no one in this world can get what the Dark Lord hasn't got."

When he said the last sentence, the man paused, with a little joy in his tone. "Well, I can't stay too long, even in the dungeons... As we all know, I will definitely come back here... Before I leave, I can return to Hogwarts Castle this time for the last time I have a little precious time for you, and I don't think you can refuse, Bella."

"Oh, my master." Bellatrix leaned down and kissed the man's robe feet, her voice was wild and joyful, with a hint of charm. "Of course I would. I won't refuse. I won't refuse any of your requests. Never."

The faces of Snape and Jody turned red at the same time. Even though they were children, it didn't mean they couldn't tell how passionately that cold Miss Black fell in love with that strange mysterious man.Just when they were thinking about sneaking away so as not to overhear the terrifying witch, the man said something unexpected for everyone——

"Then, can you tell me what is wrong with you in the Lestrange family? My lovely little Bella?" The man's voice was full of teasing. "I heard that Rodolphus has proposed to you for the third time, and your parents don't object to the marriage, but you are hiding in Hogwarts as a housekeeper?"

"Yes, but master..." Bellatrix's body became stiff, and her voice lost the cheerfulness just now. "But master, I thought, you know, I just want to be loyal to you. In this world, you are the only one worthy of my devotion, everything..."

"Bella, of course." The man seemed satisfied with Bellatrix's words. "I have no doubts in your loyalty to me, but think about it, if you can help me gain more loyalty? Rodolphus' parents seem to have not yet considered clearly, who should they be loyal to, except you, Who else can make them think about it as soon as possible?"

Jody could hardly believe her ears: How could anyone order someone who liked him to marry someone else?

Bellatrix fell silent with her head bowed.In the end, she seemed to have made up her mind, and replied with a trembling voice that was almost crying: "Yes, I, I have understood what you mean, master. I... know what to do."

The man seemed so satisfied with the answer that he didn't even notice the woman at his feet was about to cry. "Very well, Bella, I know you won't disappoint me. Next, it's time for us to entertain our little uninvited guests."

Before Snape and Jody could understand what the man meant, the man had already turned around. He raised his arms, and the dark wizard robes slid down to his elbows, revealing pale but slender lines. Graceful arms, wrists and nimble and slender fingers.

And Bellatrix stood up quickly when she heard that sentence, took out her wand and stood behind the man, returning to her usual shrewd appearance.When she saw the man waving the wand, she had already forgotten the blow she had just suffered, and she was still fascinated by what happened before her, admiring the man's dexterous waving of the wand.The man's movements are indeed graceful, as if he is directing an incomparably beautiful melody.

He hissed like a snake and cast a rare spell.Two translucent ropes erupted from the tip of his wand, wrapping around Jody and Snape's waists like snakes, pulling them both in front of the man.All this happened in the blink of an eye, before they could even react, they were already standing in front of the man, and they were horrified to find that they couldn't make a sound, and couldn't move their whole bodies.

Meanwhile, Jody and Snape finally got to see what it was like to be the man who would bring Bellatrix Black to his knees.

Before meeting this man face to face, Jody had sketched this man's appearance in her mind, but she never imagined that the man who could make Bellatrix fall in love with him would actually look like this.

This man looked terrifying, and Jody couldn't think of any words to describe it other than horror.His face was so white that he didn't look like a living person, and his facial features seemed to be melted by fire and then kneaded together again, twisted weirdly, the most terrifying thing was that his eyes couldn't see the whites of his eyes, which surrounded his pupils. Bright red like fire.

He narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at the two children. "Two little ones, Bella, you haven't noticed them all the time, have you?"

"I'm sorry, Master, I thought all Slytherins should stay in their common room or dormitory." Bella's submissive tone and her stern glaring at Jody and Snape It looks very uncoordinated.

"Aha, two little Slytherins who love to eavesdrop." The man's bright red eyes looked at Jody, and his eyes slithered past them like snakes, appreciating the fear in their eyes with satisfaction. "Do you know who I am?"
