[HP] Aunt of the Savior

Although the nine and three-quarters platform at the end of the winter vacation was not as lively as it was on September [-]st, it was not much different.And whether it is children or adults, how many are still immersed in the festive atmosphere of Christmas and New Year.Probably because of this, the entire platform was filled with a lazy atmosphere.

The young conductor who arrived at the station this year was obviously inexperienced. He blushed and had freckles on his face. He was waving a silver whistle desperately on the platform, and the whistle kept screaming: "Hurry up, don't stop!" Dwitch! Get in the car!"

But it was clear that although the scream was harsh, the effect was very futile. The people huddled together, but still moved at a very slow speed.Fortunately, there was very little luggage during Christmas, otherwise it would have been difficult for the twins to go through the dense crowd and board the train so quickly to find an empty compartment.As soon as Jody, who was squeezed dizzily, entered the box, he immediately sat on the seat and panted heavily.

"I just said you can't always be in the cellar." James sat down beside her: "You can come to me when there's no Quidditch practice, we'll fly together for a while, call Sirius—well, You can call that Snape if you want."

"It's Mom and Dad." Jody obviously didn't want to go along with James' Quidditch plan, and looked out the window as he changed the subject.

The Potters were standing on the platform, smiling and waving to them.James immediately poked his head out of the window, in fact he almost poked out half of his body: "Hey, Dad, Mom."

"careful!"

James, who grabbed the window frame with one hand so as not to fall out of the window, scratched his hair and laughed twice. "I want to say, next time I can just jump in through the window, so I don't have to squeeze... Well, well, I'm talking! I'm really just talking!"

After James seized the last chance to announce to his parents his ridiculous plan, which was boring and absolutely impossible to get anyone's support, the train finally pulled out of the platform slowly.Finally, Jody waved to her parents outside the window with complicated emotions, and squeezed out a smile earnestly and hard, as if she wanted to take the opportunity to squeeze out all the troubles and exhaustion.

"Is it really right for us to do this?" Mrs. Potter looked worriedly at the Hogwarts Express going away. "Is it too early for us to tell Jody about these things? And there is also James, who has not been as reassuring as Jody since he was a child..."

"Secia, I am as worried about the children as you are." Mr. Porter held his wife's hand and sighed heavily. "But since we choose to confess everything, we have to trust Jody. She's smart, too smart. That's what scares me."

If Jody hadn't been too smart to detect all their concealment and lies, how could he have told all these things that he had been hiding from the children so early?

"So, that's why you told Jody everything?" Mrs. Potter understood what her husband meant, she frowned slightly, and shook her head fiercely, "No, Jody definitely won't."

In response to his wife's reaction, a wry smile appeared on Mr. Potter's lips.He could understand what his wife was thinking, but if not, how could Jody have discovered the fertility potion at this age?

"Jodi, I always feel that Christmas this year seems...to be very strange." James, who didn't understand his parents' feelings at all, said while taking out his backpack. "Want to play a game of wizard chess?"

Both Sirius and Peter stayed at school for Christmas this year, and James originally wanted to stay, but in the end he changed his plan because of Jody's rare tantrum.

"Strange?" Jody tilted her head and looked at James. Compared with the physical and mental exhaustion of the last semester, she can now behave very normal and natural.

"At least you're back to normal. You know, you were really scary at the end of last year." James looked at his sister carefully, patted his chest, and pretended to be relieved. "I think something is very wrong with you and your parents during this holiday. I always feel that you seem to have something to hide from me."

You guessed it.Jody thought silently in his heart, in fact, James' intuition is often surprisingly accurate.

Both she and the Potters had decided to keep the conversation of that night a secret from James for the time being.They planned to wait until he was a little more mature before telling him everything, until he was mature enough to bear all the truth calmly.Otherwise, with his character, I'm afraid no matter what it is, he can make him yell, and that's obviously not what the Potters want to see.

Seeing James carefree playing chess pieces, Jody, who was full of worries at Christmas, suddenly felt a little envious.But she has no regrets at all about choosing to know all the truth.As for the envy of James, she only needs to put aside everything and concentrate on playing a game of wizard chess with him.

This kind of entertainment really relaxed Jody's tense nerves. When she walked into Hogwarts Castle, her expression even looked relaxed.

Snape, who had been waiting for a long time in the foyer of the castle, saw Jody walking into the castle with James with a smile on his face.

"Severus?" Jody walked up to Snape and greeted him in a light tone that he hadn't seen for a long time.

"Snape." James' tone was still not very friendly, but even so, he glanced proudly at his sister beside him, as if showing off his very gracious behavior. "Are you planning to come here for a walk?"

If his tone hadn't been tinged with sarcasm, it might have sounded like a very friendly greeting, despite the obviously questionable context.

After a winter vacation, Snape was still as gloomy as ever. He ignored James at all, but said directly to Jody, "Thank you for the Christmas present."

"Oh, you're welcome." Jody noticed that James, who was completely ignored beside him, had frowned, and blinked at Snape hastily, "Want to see your birthday present this year? I've been choosing for a long time. .”

"I wish for it, thank you very much." Snape nodded understandingly, his thin lips curled into a slight arc, as if this development was so logical.

"Good night, James." After Jody finished speaking, he followed Snape towards the cellar.

James, who was left alone at the door, swore that Snape must have deliberately snubbed him just now, and he didn't forget to show off when he left - he even pointed his oversized oily nose at himself!

"This year's birthday gift is a potion sorting box, which uses fresh-keeping spells and space magic, and can hold 64 different commonly used potion ingredients, so it's easy to carry around." Jody put this year's gift in Snape's magic box. on the medicine table.She had no doubt that if she continued to send it like this, she could help Snape gather a complete set of potion making tools.But that certainly suited Snape's practical needs and interests.

"Thank you. Then next..." Snape rarely paid attention to the potion sorting box that Jody had chosen this time, but looked at Jody with a hesitant expression. "that matter……"

"I know what you want to ask, my parents—they did use the Fertility Potion." Seeing Snape's concern, Jody took the initiative to say. "However, the situation is better than we expected. They have controlled the output of magic power. At least in a short period of time, they are still safe."

Although Jody said it very lightly, Snape still frowned.He was surprised by Jody's overly calm reaction now.He still remembered that Jody almost collapsed when he first heard the news last year.He didn't believe that she could accept the reality so quickly: "Jodi..."

"Don't worry, I'm fine." Jody patted Snape's shoulder after a long absence, assuring in a particularly exaggerated light tone. "It's really fine."

The look on Snape's face was enough to show how much he disapproved of Jody's appearance.She looked as if everything was normal, but there was no warmth in those once warm eyes.He'd even surreptitiously cast a few anti-curses on Jody on the way here, to see if she had some jinx or worse - the Imperius Curse.

Seeing Snape's tightly pursed mouth, Jody finally stopped maintaining that cheerful look: "When I asked about it, my dad said, no matter what, he and mom, they will always One day leave me forever. I know he has a point and I shouldn't be so sad. But I still feel wrong, it's not like that, and it shouldn't be like that. But I'm glad I know now This, James is still in the dark - I never want to wait until the end of the matter to find out what my parents have done for us."

Jody narrated what happened during the winter vacation in a calm tone. If he hadn't seen the sad expression in her calmness, Snape would almost have mistakenly thought that she had been completely indifferent to this matter.

Feeling Snape's so focused gaze, looking into those black eyes, Jody bitterly realized that the selfish and crazy voice in her heart was probably very far away from her now, even the party at the Slug Club It also seems to have happened a long time ago.He said he would help her no matter what, but she chose to go down the road that might not be able to ask for help.
