On the weekend of Jody and James' birthdays, everyone decided to hold a picnic birthday party under the big tree by the lake.James' good popularity made this birthday party as lively as when they were at home. In addition to many Gryffindors, students from Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff also participated.Frank Longbottom also went to Hogsmeade Village to buy fireworks for the birthday party. Although it was daytime, the little stars of different colors made everyone feel very happy.James' friends, like him, quickly became acquainted with Jody, but just as Jody had expected, even though she and Lily were there, Snape still didn't come to the birthday party.

On this day, Jody received a lot of birthday presents, but she felt that the most wonderful birthday present she received this year was the potion that smelled like cake.Although the potion couldn't be preserved, it didn't affect Jody's happy mood at all.She was smiling even when she returned to the dormitory that night, causing Doris, who had been silent for a while, to keep asking her what good things happened to her.

After celebrating Jody and James' birthdays, final exams are getting closer.The homework suddenly became heavy, and the professors arranged a lot of homework for the students to complete, so that everyone had no time and interest to play during the Easter holiday.

Although Snape, Jody, and Lily were hard-working and good students compared to others, the three of them still did not dare to let up in the slightest when facing the first final exam.Under the pressure of heavy homework, the investigation and research on Voldemort was temporarily stranded.After all, for them, Voldemort is still far away, but the final exam will come to them soon.

Without Jody's urging, James gradually lost his initial interest in the word Voldemort.After learning a lot about Voldemort's deeds, that kind of disgust has been deeply engraved in his bones. As for how bad Voldemort is, it is not a concern of James.What's more, now that he had found something new to do, it was far more engaging to him than Voldemort.

After the short spring, the weather is gradually getting hotter.The cellar, which is wet and cold in winter, shows its unique advantages at this time.Jody felt he understood why Potions classes were held in the dungeons.In such a hot weather, even in the cellar, the Potions classroom could become a steamer. Probably only Snape, who was keen on potions, would still be oblivious to the heat.He even taught Jody a little spell to keep sweat from dripping into the cauldron.

Students waited for the year's final exams with mixed feelings in this hot weather.They complete theory exams with quills to prevent cheating, and then take practical assessments.When all exams are over, they can take the Hogwarts Express home, and the results will not be received until a week later.

This year's House Cup fell to the studious Ravenclaw, and James was bitterly aggrieved that Gryffindor's score was only higher than that of Hufflepuff, who was always at the bottom.Slytherin had won the Quidditch Cup this year, otherwise Gryffindor would have at least finished second.He made up his mind to join the Gryffindor Quidditch team next year, to show those Slytherins a little bit more.

On the way back, James insisted on sitting in the same car as Jody.Lily, who didn't appreciate James' noisy habits, gave him a glare, smiled apologetically at Jody, and dragged Snape, who was more gloomy than usual, to another compartment.Looking at Snape's back, Jody decided to wait until school started to ask him why he didn't seem to want to go back—Snape had specifically told him not to write to him during the summer vacation, and it was inconvenient for him to receive letters.

In fact, this time the twins' box was not as noisy as Lily imagined.Lupine had another illness before the exam, and then had to deal with the exams for several days, so his face was very ugly, and he looked very weak and sick.Everyone gave him the seat by the window, so that he could rest by the window, and lowered the volume when talking.The thoughtfulness of his friends made Lupine smile even when he was resting with his eyes closed.This year's life in Hogwarts made Lupine very happy. Although he was still uneasy, he was still grateful that he was able to study here countless times.

Sirius is going to attend Bellatrix's wedding this summer, and the officiant is still Voldemort.Although he pouted and said that this time he would have the opportunity to observe the object they had studied for a long time, but his friends could tell that he was not in a good mood.

Fortunately, James recently learned a new joke spell, which can make all kinds of grimaces appear on his face.Since minors can't use magic at home during the holidays, he decided to use the last time to practice on the train.It made his face look very funny, and Peter blinked his little eyes and held his stomach to hold back the laughter.

James chatted with Sirius beside him with such a changing face. "Don't be so discouraged, my good friend is you, Sirius, it has nothing to do with who your family invites to witness the marriage."

James patted Sirius on the shoulder to encourage him, and grinned at him, but the next second his face twisted into a strange look.

"You're right." Sirius smiled and nodded, feeling much better.James just has this strange power to spread his heartlessness to everyone around him.He decided to put aside the troubles of attending the wedding: "By the way, my brother Regulus should go to school next year, but unfortunately he will also go to Slytherin. Little Rael is not a child who can have the courage to enter Gryffindor .”

"Slytherin..." Hearing this word, James subconsciously turned his head to look at his sister.

Even James, who is so heartless, will inevitably show a worried look when he turns his gaze to Jody.Perhaps the biggest gain from studying Voldemort this time is that James realized more clearly that in Hogwarts, Slytherin College has almost drawn a clear line with other colleges, and has become self-isolated.Because the founders themselves emphasized bloodlines, Slytherin became the house most influenced by the bloodline theory that is getting more and more popular outside.

James is indeed not as delicate as Jody, but he is not really a fool with only muscles in his head.He could vaguely understand why Jody and Snape paid so much attention to Voldemort's affairs.Of course he knew that Jody was not a blood theorist, now that her friend Snape was a half-breed and Evans was a bitch, this must be very detrimental to her position in Slytherin.He complained countless times during the year why the Sorting Hat just put Jody in Slytherin, even if it wasn't Gryffindor, why couldn't it be Ravenclaw or Hufflepuff?

During this year, especially after knowing the name Voldemort, when James saw Jody, occasionally he felt a strange feeling of discomfort in his heart, as if one day Jody would disappear from his life, Go somewhere you can never catch.

"Jody." James said like a ghost.

"Huh?" Jody raised his head and looked at James with a strange expression.The effect of the spell is not over, and James' facial features are still changing, which makes him look funny.Although what he wanted to say was serious, he deliberately didn't break the spell, because that would hide his uneasiness and weakness from Jody.

"You'll always be Jody Potter's, won't you?" James' voice was so low that no one could hear him except Sirius, who sat on the other side of him. "Whether you're in Slytherin or Gryffindor, you're Jody."

"Whether in Slytherin or Gryffindor, of course I will always be Jody." Jody felt that James' tone was a bit strange, and gave James a comforting smile.She felt that James really didn't seem like a big brother at times—even though they were born within a few minutes of each other—but the questions he asked always seemed childish and funny to her sister.Could she be someone else?

"You promised me, you will always be Jody." James stubbornly insisted on reiterating this point. "You will always be my sister, Jody Potter."

Jody nodded helplessly again, earnestly assuring James. "Yes, I promise you."

After she finished speaking, she carefully looked at Lupine who was sleeping opposite and Peter who was dealing with the chocolate frog, and she was relieved to make sure that they hadn't noticed her. She felt embarrassed for such a strange conversation.

Sirius on the side was more understanding of James' mood than the confused Jody.Ever since Cousin Andromeda was kicked out of the house, sometimes he would always have such a strange feeling when thinking of his family.But this kind of mood, the little wizard who just finished the first grade still can't fully understand.

Sensing the low and complicated mood of his friend, Sirius decided to make a joke: "Hey, James, you can't ask Jody like that—you can't hope she won't get married!"

James gave his pal an elbow in "repayment."

Jody blushed at Sirius' words.She secretly decided not to help James with his homework this summer unless he came to beg her.Poor James didn't know the "bad news" at this time, he had successfully changed his mood, and started to discuss with Sirius how to use this summer vacation to practice Quidditch.

Without investigating Voldemort or worrying about Jody alone in Slytherin, James thought he would have a great summer.

——If he can complete the summer homework independently in time.
