[HP] Aunt of the Savior

Chapter 61 The Love of Parents

Before the Christmas holidays, Snape helped Jody find many more books that mentioned the fertility potion.Compared with many rare magics, there are not few introductions about childbirth potions, but none of these books record the formula.If it wasn't because the potion involved Jody, after reading so many materials, Snape felt that he could understand Professor Slughorn's painstaking effort to get the formula from the Potters.But obviously, due to his over-acquaintance with this potion, Slughorn never thought that the twins Jody and James might be the masterpiece of the fertility potion, otherwise he would not have put his brains on Jody up.

As of the Christmas break, there are still no comforting discoveries.Jody no longer frantically read all kinds of materials like he did a few days ago.Because when she tried to prove that the parents who had become the president of the Boys and Girls Union could not use the forbidden black magic, she discovered an even more amazing fact, that is, Elvis Potter and Secia Shafik This name actually appeared in Hogwarts' 1942 graduate list, and they served as the student union president from 1941 to 1942!

All the things that are ignored in ordinary times are connected by this fact.The real age of the parents is not 35 as they have always claimed, so Dad’s wand is the work left by Mr. Ollivander’s father, so Mom’s friends are Professor McGonagall and Sprout, who are already in their 50s professor.And because they are old and have used that damn fertility potion, they are not so energetic. They don't want to go on vacation and choose to live quietly in Godric's Hollow...

Jody felt afraid to dig any further, realizing that her parents were hiding more than she could ever imagine.James' angrily claiming that he had overheard his parents talking about Slytherin inappropriately emerged from the depths of her memory.She didn't take these words seriously at that time, but thinking about it now, those words may mean that her parents have hidden a secret from herself.

Knowing this undoubtedly made Jody's mood worse. On the one hand, she tried to convince herself that it was because of her young age, but on the other hand, she felt that her trust in her parents had been violated.In a bad mood, she even got into an argument with James because he wanted to stay at school and spend Christmas with friends instead of going home this year.

When seeing the parents in front of her, Jody, who was exhausted, was almost surprised that she didn't cry out on the spot, and she could still greet her with a superficially calm attitude—perhaps thanks to her self-taught Occlumency, which helps to maintain emotional calm . "Dad, Mom."

"Oh, honey, I miss you so much." Mrs. Potter felt something was wrong while giving her daughter a hug: "Jodi, you... lost weight?"

"Ah, maybe a little."

"You are growing up, don't tell me you want to control your weight?" Mr. Potter also patted his daughter on the shoulder, then frowned imperceptibly, and exchanged a look with his wife.

Their daughter was behaving very strangely, and she seemed to be trying to control her emotions.Compared with when she was a child, she hid it better, but it still couldn't hide from the unique insight of being a parent.

Because of Jody's anomaly, after James went to bed early the next day so that he could get up early to unwrap presents, the Potters were not surprised to see their daughter still in the living room with a face full of words. .

Mr. Porter smiled and teased his daughter: "Does Jody want to go to bed after opening the present? Your mother and I will not give you the present now."

"No, it's not for the gift." Jody lowered his head, with a strong bitterness in his tone.

Jody's tone made the Potters worried, and Mrs. Potter sat next to their daughter, "Jody, tell mom, what's wrong with you?"

Looking at the obviously haggard and emaciated daughter, and thinking of Professor McGonagall's letter mentioning that Jody seemed to be out of spirits, Mrs. Potter was extremely worried.

Mr. Potter, on the other hand, waved his wand thoughtfully to make sure that the sleeping James would not overhear the conversation—Mr. Potter had begun to pay attention to this after being overheard by James once.

Jody took a deep breath and decided to ask directly: "Dad, Mom, I want to know, did you use the fertility potion?"

"Merlin's socks!" Mr. Potter couldn't help exclaiming as his glasses slid down the bridge of his nose.And Mrs. Potter covered her mouth in disbelief.

A wry smile appeared on the corner of Jody's mouth.She knew that such a direct question would catch her parents by surprise, and she would not have the opportunity to make up lies to conceal the facts.Maybe she should thank her parents, who are both straightforward Gryffindors, for letting her know the truth so easily.Although the Potters didn't directly admit Jody's problem at the moment, their performance was clearly enough for Jody to be sure that that terrible guess was no longer a guess after all.

When the Potters realized what a mistake they had made, it seemed pointless to lie to their daughter.Mr. Porter looked helplessly at his daughter who was in pain but determined to know the truth, and he was convinced that even if he "forgot all about it" to Jody now, it would be impossible for him to continue to hide this matter.His Slytherin daughter must have made a lot of careful preparations before bringing this up to her parents.Moreover, if she can discover it once, she will definitely be able to discover it a second time.

Mrs. Potter had already closed her eyes, painfully admitting her daughter's problem. "Jody, I'm sorry."

"How is your situation now?" Perhaps subconsciously, she already knew that this would be the case. The shock of learning the truth from her parents was far less than the shock of Jody's first reading of the fertility potion in the book, but she always The desperation and fear suppressed in her heart burst out all at once, and she spoke so fast that she hardly thought about it. "I checked a lot of information, but none of the information mentioned how this magic can block the link and transmission of magic power. Since our family has a prescription for childbirth potion, there must be a way to stop this black magic, right? Since it is magic, there should be a corresponding anti-curse, it is impossible not to have it, it must be because I know too little magic knowledge to find it, my father and mother are very powerful, must know this, right? Sure..."

"Jody, speak slowly." Mr. Potter wanted to pretend to be relaxed and twitched his mouth, but he failed completely when he saw Jody's tears rolling down.

Once the tears that had been suppressed for a long time flowed out, they were so turbulent that its owner completely lost control over them. Jody cried so much that she could hardly speak a complete sentence coherently, but she was sobbing, and she was stubborn without giving up. She continued to ask the topic she wanted to ask: "Sure... hiccup... there must be... there is a way, you won't... you won't just... hiccup... leave me and James... right, right ? I don't believe it... no... hiccup..."

As long as Jody can remember, she has never cried so fiercely. She cried so darkly that her consciousness was almost blurred. Parents surrounded her, stroking her back gently, and kept saying "I'm sorry".It took her a long, long time to calm down, realizing that her parents were looking at her with distressed and worried eyes.

"Are you feeling better, my baby?" Mrs. Potter rubbed Jody's back tenderly with red eyes, obviously she shed tears when Jody cried hysterically. "I'm sorry to put you through this now, we didn't want to tell you until you were older."

"It's true... there's nothing else to do?" When she said this, Jody felt as if she was about to cry again. Her throat was burning and her eyes were sore, but she still couldn't let the thought out. The urge to cry stopped.

"Yes." Mr. Potter was also in a sad mood, but he still decided to say hard, "But it's impossible for Dad and Mom to stay with you all the time, is it?"

"But, you are here for us...and I read in the book that usually there is only one boy in the birth potion, but now you have me and James." Jody looked at his parents nervously, as if they It will disappear in the next second. "...I won't lose you all right away?"

"Don't be afraid, we won't leave you right away." Mrs. Potter gave Jody a hug in distress, "When your father and I decided to do this in order to have a child, we have already calculated it. Our The magic is enough to keep us alive until our children grow up—adults, graduates from Hogwarts, until they have the ability to live independently. Although the plan did have an accident, but Merlin, our sacrifices are now greater than It's worth more because we have another you besides James, Jody, you have no idea how happy your dad and I were when we found out we were twins. You are the best daughter I could have imagined and I respect you Proud."

"Even if I go into Slytherin?" After hearing what his mother said, Jody felt extremely sad.She is always self-satisfied with her intelligence and complacent with her abilities, but she never thinks that her parents are getting weaker and weaker every day when she grows up.If she hadn't accidentally discovered something about the fertility potion in the black magic book, maybe she wouldn't know the truth when she really lost them.

Apparently James was totally unaware of this either.Otherwise, he wouldn't have been living such a heartless life—in his consciousness, he had never considered that his parents would leave him forever one day.

"Of course." Mrs. Potter replied affirmatively, her eyes were a little unnatural. "I told you when you were in first grade that it didn't matter anymore, didn't it?"

Jody looked into her mother's eyes and saw that her eyes had begun to fade like the twins', and the meaning of this change almost prevented her from asking for a moment, until the desire to know everything finally got the upper hand.

"But maybe... that's actually important? Dad, Mom, you have other things that you are hiding from us, don't you?" She took a deep breath, "For example, why are you lying to us about your age? Woolen cloth?"
