[HP] Aunt of the Savior

Chapter 34 The train to the second grade

In order for his son to practice Quidditch during the summer vacation, Mr. Potter cast many Muggle repelling spells and confusion spells in an open area outside the village to ensure that he would not be seen by Muggles while practicing.There are many wizarding families living in Godric's Hollow. The open space Mr. Potter chose is closer to the living circle of wizards, and the safety factor is higher, which is convenient for strict compliance with the provisions of the secrecy law.

Jody occasionally played with James, who lacked opponents, for a while. She was not as good at flying as her brother, but she was not bad, but she was obviously more interested in studying her notes than spending time on Quidditch practice.Before the holiday, she copied some content that could be transcribed from Snape's book and came back to study it.Snape had been studying that book for a long time, and she had just started, and it was not so easy to keep up with Snape's learning progress.

By the time James, who was playing crazy, realized that he still had a lot of unfinished homework, the calendar had turned to August 28th.Originally, the Potter family planned to go shopping in Diagon Alley together on this day, but poor James, who hadn't finished his homework, was forced to stay.

"James Potter, don't ask your sister to help you with your homework and see your grades!" Mrs. Potter said sternly.She was very dissatisfied with her son's grades. History of Magic and Potions were all A's, and the other subjects were E's. Only Transfiguration got O's, and Jody got all O's. It is said that her two good friends Also like this.

So in the end, when school started on September [-]st, James left home with a pair of big dark circles under his eyes-he had been making up his homework until the early morning last night, and Jody didn't lend him his homework in the end.She was very happy that she could use the reason that her mother didn't allow her to help to reject her brother who wanted to copy her homework, which was much better than her original plan.

"Oh, Remus!" On the bustling platform nine and three-quarters, as soon as James found Lupine, he rushed to his friend pitifully to complain. "How's your summer vacation going? I'm going crazy with my homework!"

"If you didn't put off your homework until the last few days to write together, this kind of thing wouldn't have happened." Jody said bluntly, looking around, looking for Lily and Snape.

"Evans and the others are already in the car, I just saw it." Lupine kindly told Jody.

"Oh, thank you." Jody glanced at Lupine unexpectedly, he looked much more cheerful than in the first grade. "Then I'll go find them, and James will leave it to you!"

As she spoke, she stretched out her hand and unceremoniously ruffled James' black hair, which was already messy.Before school started this year, the Potters’ instructions changed from last year’s asking the older brother to take good care of the younger sister, to “Jody, watch James carefully, and don’t let him get into trouble!” This change made Jody very interesting.

"Hey, I'm the brother, Jody!" James protested meaninglessly, "See Sirius and Peter?"

"Peter got into the car to occupy the compartment, and Sirius hasn't come yet. Is he with his brother?" Lupine guessed.

Before Lupine finished speaking, Sirius appeared in front of his good friends dragging the box with a dark face. "Let's get in the car!"

"Your brother..." James was about to speak when Lupine pulled the hem of his robe.He shrugged, took Sirius' box and changed his words: "I'll help you carry the box up."

He decided to wait until after the box before asking Sirius what happened.As a sister in Gryffindor in Slytherin, maybe he can impart a little experience to Sirius?

Jody found Lily and Snape in a box at the back of the train. Like Jody, they had already changed into new wizard robes. After a year, the original robes certainly didn't fit so well.

"Lily, Severus, good morning, how was your summer vacation?" Jody sat down next to Lily.

Lily looked wonderful, she looked even cuter with a summer haircut, and her fair skin had a healthy tan.In contrast, Snape's complexion was not so good. Although his complexion had always been bad, it seemed that he had a very bad summer vacation, and his cheeks were even sunken.Seeing Jody coming in, his eyes lit up, and he nodded slightly to her as a greeting.

"Fortunately, we went to Monte Carlo during our family vacation, and Penny has always wanted to go there." Lily showed a beautiful smile.The smile caught Snape's attention.Lily acted as if she didn't notice Snape's gaze at all, but she stopped talking about the holiday trip. "And you, how was your vacation?"

Lily didn't want to talk about her pleasant journey in front of Snape, who obviously had a terrible summer vacation. From this perspective, she was indeed a very gentle and considerate girl.

"Oh, my parents don't like to travel very much." Speaking of this, Jody regrets that she has never traveled with her family. "So I stayed at home the whole holiday," she said, casting a subconscious glance at Snape.She believed that he would understand what she had done when she stayed at home this holiday.

Sure enough, there was an imperceptible smile in Snape's eyes, and he even confidently raised his chin at Jody.He has enough confidence that Jody will not catch up with his progress in one summer vacation.

But of course, in the presence of Lily, Jody and Snape had a tacit understanding and didn't bring up the topic of "Teaching You to Master the Dark Arts".Instead, Lily took out the newspaper clippings used to investigate Voldemort. "In yesterday's Daily Prophet, Voldemort's name officially appeared for the first time!"

At this moment, the door of the box was knocked lightly a few times before being gently pulled open.

"Excuse me, can I sit here?" A boy walked into the box with his chin raised, looked around, as if he was judging whether this place was suitable for him to sit down, and spoke very slowly.Despite the politeness of his words and his actions just now, the way he behaved and spoke made him seem haughty and unnatural until he saw the Slytherin emblem on Jody and Snape's uniforms. Concentrating a little, he raised his hand and straightened his hair. This action looked extremely elegant. "Is this the Slytherin box?"

"No, it's not," Jody answered his question, "but of course you can sit here if you want."

The boy with black hair, gray eyes, whose appearance and behavior made them feel a little familiar nodded to Jody coldly and politely: "Please allow me to introduce myself, I am Black, Regulus Black. "

Hearing the surname Black, Snape couldn't help raising his eyebrows.He would never forget Sirius' insult to him in the first grade.In fact, even if they were on good terms in Voldemort's research group, Snape and Sirius were always at odds - they just hated each other.

It never occurred to Jody to persuade them to be friends.Although she was grateful to Sirius for helping her save herself from Miss Black that night, Sirius had always been very mean to Snape.She figured it would be hard enough for them to sit together for Voldemort's business instead of throwing jinxes at each other.

Regulus obviously noticed Snape's expression, and the corner of his mouth curved into a sarcasm: "I hope the senior will not misunderstand the Black family because of some special cases-I guess, you guys Meet Sirius."

What a sharp kid, Jody nodded with a smile, "Jody Potter, second year Slytherin."

"Severus Snape, second year Slytherin."

"Miss Potter, Mr. Snape." Regulus finally turned his attention to Lily. "...and a Gryffindor?"

"Our friend, Miss Lily Evans." Jody's smile restrained a little, and she remembered what Sirius had mentioned, the Black family's paranoia and fanaticism about blood.

"Just before you came in, I noticed that you mentioned that lord's name?" Regulus sat down near the door, keeping the farthest distance from Lily, and said softly. "Not long ago, I happened to meet that lord himself, who must be the greatest wizard in Slytherin since Salazar Slytherin's death! And I had the honor of hearing his sublime and great..."

"If you think his stupid views of treating Muggles as rubbish are very lofty and great, then I can only say that you are an out-and-out brat who doesn't know anything." Lily stood up suddenly, After interrupting Regulus, a rare indifference appeared on her gentle face: "Severus, Jody, see you at school."

Lily left the newspaper clippings to Jody and Snape, and left the box without looking back.Regarding Lily's sudden departure, Regulus's face showed a child-like panic for the first time. He stood up in a panic, and pulled away without even looking at the reactions of Jody and Snape. The box door is gone.

Snape hesitated for a moment, and didn't go after Lily again.

"The kid probably thinks that we will be very interested in the topic of Voldemort..." Jody had already opened the newspaper clippings, looked at the long report, and sighed helplessly. "Look at this passage: 'Wizards are born to stand above Muggles, they should not hide like mice, but should be in the position of rulers.' And here,' Mr. Voldemort believes, Muggles occupy Huge resource, a disgrace to the wizarding world, Muggles should be driven back to the gutter where they should be left to fend for themselves - even though we all know Muggles are ferociously prolific, like any lower creature for Remains as capable as it is capable of continuing to reproduce.' This is what Voldemort said at the Lestrange wedding - Merlin, Lily must have been mad by this statement, all of her family except her Muggles."

"Muggles..." Snape looked a little uncertain, "Actually, I also think it's strange for wizards to hide. We are more powerful than Muggles, aren't we?"

"That's true," Jody shrugged, "but without a wand, wizards have no advantage. Muggles far outnumber wizards, and it's not wise to argue with them—when we can make peace with them." In the case of getting along, isn't it?"

"Yeah...if it's possible to live in peace." Snape's whole body sank into the shadow of the carriage.
