[HP] Aunt of the Savior
Chapter 257
Snape was circling anxiously in the office which was completely different from his original room.He didn't want to go back to the bedroom, where the warm and refreshing arrangement made him feel even more upset.In fact, he didn't want to be here either, and the office wasn't what it used to be.But other than here, he couldn't think of a place where he would not be disturbed.
He thought he was finally dead and free from his damn responsibilities, but when he opened his eyes again, he found that he was Headmaster of Hogwarts again, sitting on the Hogwarts headmaster's chair and Colleagues having breakfast together.
At first he almost mistakenly thought that dying at the Shrieking Shack and being kissed by snakes was a dream he had expected too much, and he was also responsible for killing Dumbledore and Death Eaters and being hated by his colleagues.
Then he thought he was resurrected after being bitten by Nagini, and his reputation was restored under the publicity of that Potter kid (given the memory he handed over, Harry Potter's IQ would choose It is not difficult to imagine how to do it).But after sorting out the chaotic thoughts in his head, he suddenly discovered that he has become a truly recognized hero now, because this world is so different from his original world.
The Dark Lord was completely wiped out in 1995, and Albus Dumbledore and Sirius Black in this world are still alive and kicking. The magic world has not encountered any darkness and destruction, and no student has suffered from Voldemort. And die.
Among the many memories that were much better than the past, Snape couldn't help but feel angry at another fact that he noticed - but look at what he has done in this world, right?
Severus Snape, actually in love with a Potter girl!And he seems to be planning to marry this Potter!
No one knew how surprised Snape was when he first heard the question from Professor McGonagall.He didn't understand how things had come to this, the Dark Lord was dead - and that was fine.The Potter pups are all right - it's perfect.But what he didn't understand was, when did James Potter, who was clearly the only child of the Potter family, have a twin sister?
Jody Potter - Snape hadn't seen her since he'd been here.For some reason, she seems to have temporarily disappeared.This was exactly what Snape wanted, and he didn't go to this woman.Although in Snape's memory, she stuck with him almost anytime and anywhere, even when it was said that she needed to hide her identity.
Humph, what a stupid and imprudent move, he couldn't believe that this woman was still a Slytherin!She's a total brash Potter, just like James Potter and Harry Potter.
But in the short two days since he came to this world, Professor McGonagall, Professor Sprout, and Madam Pomfrey hinted at the same meaning with different attitudes, tones, and expressions: "Severus , when are you going to marry Jody?"
It wasn't just them, Snape thought, almost the whole of Hogwarts seemed to be concerned about this issue.As long as he appeared alone in people's sight range, they would look at him curiously with disgusting eyes.It seemed that it was very unimaginable that he would not appear with that woman named Jody Porter.
Snape continued to circle around his room anxiously, unwilling to admit the reality he encountered in this world, that everyone was passionately concerned about when their hero headmaster and Miss Potter would hold a wedding.Right now, even if he moves out the black bat aura that he has used for more than ten years since he became a professor, it won't work anymore.
Now everyone knows that the headmaster is a cold-faced and warm-hearted person. What a great and noble person he is, he lurks beside Voldemort for justice and his lover, has been delivering information for the Order of the Phoenix, and even served as Hogger at the most dangerous time. The principal of Watts, bearing the infamy, wants to protect the teachers and students in the school!
Obviously, when a person is dubbed a hero in the eyes of everyone, no matter how bad his attitude towards others is in a short period of time, no one will take it seriously.
Snape didn't know how he would deal with this woman when Jody Potter appeared in front of him.He can't be entangled with a woman who is completely unfamiliar to him as hotly as he remembers, and he can't treat a stranger tenderly, even if he is only slightly close, he feels that it is a kind of A betrayal of a love he had believed in for so many years.
"Call God to protect you!" Snape gripped the cane in his hand tightly and said this spell habitually.Over the years, whenever he felt irritable, painful, lonely or even unable to hold on, he would use this spell to summon his silver doe to accompany him.
……Then.He foolishly watched a majestic male lion emerge from the end of the wand.
—nothing could be more unbearable to Snape than this.
"Severus?"
Before Snape could digest the shock, Jody Potter pushed open the door and walked in like the master of the room.
When Snape actually faced this woman, she became more and more clear in his memory. She looked quite similar to James Potter, which undoubtedly made him even more disgusted, and he couldn't understand How could I be with this woman...
But even thinking like this, he still instinctively felt a kind of joy welling up in his heart, as if just staying in the same space with this woman would satisfy his heart.
He frowned very quickly and coughed lightly, "Well, Joe, you..."
But before he finished speaking, Jody suddenly stopped in front of him, raised his wand and pointed it straight at him: "Stand there and don't move, who are you?"
Snape raised his head abruptly, his eyes looked hollow and deep, "I don't understand what you mean, Joe?"
"Don't call me that." Her voice was cold, and she shook the wand in her hand, and a flash of light forced Snape back from the steps he was about to move.
Snape's gaze involuntarily fell on the wand in Jody's hand—it was the Elder Wand that Dumbledore had planned to keep for himself.
The image of the woman that existed in Snape's sweet and happy memories gradually began to recede, replaced by another indifferent woman who made him feel familiar but strange.He believed now that the woman was able to pass herself off as a Death Eater to the Dark Lord.
"I am Severus Snape." He waved his wand again, bringing the lion between them. "Though, I guess I'm not the one you know now."
Snape and Jody sat down on the two chairs in front of the fireplace facing each other, with a certain distance between them.He explained his situation as concisely as possible, but it was obvious that the other party still didn't trust him very much, because the tip of the old wand was still pointing at him.
"So, you think that in this world of Severus, consciousness is only temporarily asleep?"
"I have this feeling." Snape said frankly, "I can't last long in my current state—given that, I should have been dead."
He felt absurd and ridiculous for his current situation,
"Dead?" Jody stared at the man in front of him in disbelief.From the moment she walked into the room, she had already noticed that something was wrong with the man opposite. She was indeed obsessed with Snape's black eyes, but the kind of black she liked was restrained and suppressed strong emotions, not as empty as it is now. Indifferent and lifeless. "How could I allow this to happen?!"
"Calm down, Miss Potter." Snape stared at her with folded arms mockingly. "You're as cocky as your stupid brother, don't you think you can run the world wherever you go, like you're doing here? You..."
He had to swallow his words in the middle, because that weird feeling that didn't belong to him appeared again, anger, dissatisfaction, disapproval... Snape here seemed to never tolerate him using such words to attack him The Potter in front of him. "You... don't exist in my world."
Snape gave up his sharp words and sentences, and expressed his meaning in the most peaceful words. "I don't know what makes the difference between the two worlds, but in my world, James Potter is an only child, his parents died after he graduated, he has no siblings, not even cousins sisters."
The word "only child" made Jody's face suddenly pale, which made Snape give her a strange look, but in the end he didn't say any words of comfort, even though he felt that he really wanted to do so impulse.
"... Well, I don't care what your world is like, I just want to know, when will Severus wake up?" Jody adjusted his mood and asked in a low voice with clenched fists.
"Before that, I have a question that I hope you can answer." Snape avoided answering, but instead asked a question: "Did you really resurrect James Potter and... Lily?"
Ever since he knew that Lily might be resurrected, he had vaguely guessed why he appeared here. Maybe he was able to come here because of Lily here, maybe?
Staring at the man, Jody could already guess in his mind that the years Snape experienced must have been darker than what they had experienced together in the past, so he was more gloomy and indifferent.Moreover, when he asked Lily, she understood it completely. "You still love Lily?"
If there is no her in this world, then maybe the development of many things is not difficult to guess.The ignorance of her teenage years will continue into a lifetime of persistent and fanatical love. She knows better than anyone how devout and dedicated Snape's love is, and that kind of feeling has always fascinated and envied her.
"..." Snape glared at Jody, but didn't answer.
But his appearance made the woman in front of him curl up her lips. "I can take you to see her."
Jody took Snape to the Room of Requirement on the eighth floor, where Lily and James lived temporarily.The Potters were clearly surprised to see Jody go and come back—Snape hadn't been here since they moved here.
"Severus? What's wrong?" Lily obviously didn't recognize the difference between him and the original Snape.This made Snape feel a sense of disappointment and excitement, obviously the latter's feelings did not come from his original intention.
"Lily, I want to have a private word with you." He realized that Jody had taken James Potter out of the room.This made him tilt his lips in satisfaction, and admired in his heart this kind of considerate character that the Potter family almost never possessed.
"I'm sorry." He sat in front of Lily, not too close and not too far from her, whispered. "I just wanted to say this, sorry."
"Being a Death Eater for you, or for the prophecy? It's okay, I've forgiven you long ago." Lily's question made Snape flinch subconsciously.He greedily took the opportunity to gaze into those emerald green almond eyes, not Harry Potter's, but Lily's eyes, but there was only a gentle smile in those eyes, no resentment, no reproach.This dream scene made him lose his mind for a moment, and the big stone that had been suppressed in his heart for many years seemed to disappear in an instant.
"Sev, I know, this is the choice that Jody and you had to make at the time-of course, I know that you may have different ideas from hers, but at least you chose our side in the end, didn't you?"
Jody's name brought Snapela back to reality.He suddenly realized that in this world, even his original sins were shared with him by this woman.
He left the Room of Requirement in some confusion, and walked beside Jody absent-mindedly until Jody spoke.
"Lily forgives you, doesn't she?" Jody shrugged at Snape's momentary look of surprise and annoyance. "I didn't eavesdrop, but it's not hard to guess what you want to say to her. Is that what you want?"
"Yes."
"Actually, it doesn't make any sense for you to do this." She suddenly raised the corners of her mouth narrowly. "She is not the Lily you want to ask for forgiveness, and she is not the Lily you love. You are just deceiving yourself and others to comfort yourself."
The sharp words made Snape stop in an instant, his expression was numb, he clenched his fists tightly and then released them, his voice was full of bitterness and self-mockery: "Well, I admit that you are right."
"However," Jody turned away from Snape.As much as she wanted to let herself out, she didn't want to see such a heartbroken look on her beloved's face. "I believe that no matter which Lily it is, it is impossible to blame you and hate you. No matter which world she is in, she is a kind and tolerant good friend, isn't she?"
Hearing these words, Snape suddenly smiled dryly.He finally understood what changed him in the first place and made him fall in love with a Potter "transferring love". "I found... I really envy that guy this time."
Feeling that the suppressed emotions in his chest were getting more and more uncontrollable, Snape took one last look at Jody's back and closed his eyes.He knew that she was the one who most expected him to return to his original state as soon as possible.To Jody, he was still Snape, but he was not her Severus, not the man she loved.
He no longer misses the world where Lily is still alive.Just like what Jody said, the Lily here is not the Lily he loves, and the Snape who is respected and loved by everyone here is not himself.To be able to say sorry to Lily himself, his wish should be fulfilled.
Now, he really felt that he was too tired and should rest.If death is a great adventure, now is the time for him to officially embark on the journey.
He thought he was finally dead and free from his damn responsibilities, but when he opened his eyes again, he found that he was Headmaster of Hogwarts again, sitting on the Hogwarts headmaster's chair and Colleagues having breakfast together.
At first he almost mistakenly thought that dying at the Shrieking Shack and being kissed by snakes was a dream he had expected too much, and he was also responsible for killing Dumbledore and Death Eaters and being hated by his colleagues.
Then he thought he was resurrected after being bitten by Nagini, and his reputation was restored under the publicity of that Potter kid (given the memory he handed over, Harry Potter's IQ would choose It is not difficult to imagine how to do it).But after sorting out the chaotic thoughts in his head, he suddenly discovered that he has become a truly recognized hero now, because this world is so different from his original world.
