[HP] Aunt of the Savior

For a moment, the air in the room seemed to freeze, making it almost impossible to breathe.

"sorry."

Snape hugged his textbook tightly and bit his lip in annoyance.As soon as he said that, he knew he had clearly messed things up again.That was not what he had intended to say to Jody.

When Jody and Lily left the room, he considered Lily's words over and over again, and made up his mind to invite Jody to be his dance partner at the Christmas ball as soon as possible this time.Moreover, he still has more things he wants to ask and express, such as what Jody is hiding, and... and his real thoughts deep in his heart at this time.

It's a pity that things always turn out to be regrettable.Maybe it was wrong for him to choose to start the conversation with the memory of practicing the Patronus. He shouldn't blame Jody for mentioning Lily and let him lose the opportunity to express his thoughts, let alone discover the "Half-Blood Prince" for Jody. "This signing thing is a big deal.

Half-Blood Prince - Thinking of this name, Snape's expression became even more sinister.He had never hated the Muggle half of his body more than he did now.No matter how much he disliked Tobias Snape, he still inherited the Muggle man's blood, his appearance, and the irascibility rooted in his nature.Even after learning Occlumency, he was unsuccessful in controlling his temper.To make matters worse, he was as prone to anger as that damned Muggle...

Frustration made his voice even deeper than usual. "sorry."

However, Jody didn't respond to Snape's apology until the boy couldn't help but look up at her.

"You're still like this...you're always like this." Jody smiled as if she was about to cry, her voice was calm but without any warmth, and Snape couldn't help being a little horrified by her attitude. "It's none of my business anyway, is it? Even though we seem to have been... best friends for a few years?"

Jody's voice was distinctly self-deprecating at the last word.

"I didn't say that, I just..." Snape struggled to explain, blushing, "I just, just wanted to be a little reserved. Even friends don't confess everything to each other Isn't it? We also hid a lot of things from Lily, you should understand..."

"Yeah," Jody said coldly, Lily's name seemed extremely harsh to her at this time: "Because we are all accomplices who have concealed something from Lily, so I should understand very well, one of your These things are none of my business, and I don’t need to worry about them.”

"Of course you should understand, because you are the same, aren't you?" Snape couldn't help retorting, "You did the same thing. You even deliberately got rid of me today to do things that you don't think it is necessary to tell me, Even though I promised I would help you."

"Deliberately getting rid of you? Today? Aren't you always satisfied that I provide you with this blissful time alone with Lily? I even invited you to my house to spend the summer vacation together." A sarcastic and gloating smile. "Unfortunately, Lily has already told me that she doesn't like you at all."

"I didn't ask you to do that, and I never told you I liked Lily!" Snape's face contorted.

Snape's words seemed to suddenly put a stop to their argument.The two fell silent at the same time, until Jody nodded slightly, and whispered: "...Yes, you never said it."

It wasn't that she had fought back against Snape's unbearable spikes, but it was undoubtedly the most unsuccessful one.Because there were too many complicated emotional factors involved in it, she didn't feel the slightest sense of refreshment of successful revenge.

"Of course. Because, I don't like Lily." However, Snape said something surprising.

Jody looked up sharply, looking at Snape with an incredulous expression.His face was still a little red, and it seemed that he hadn't completely recovered his calm, but at least his tone had returned to his usual calm attitude.

"The Dark Lord is not always infallible." Facing Jody's questioning eyes, Snape's lips curled up, and a thin layer of red appeared on his unhealthy complexion. "We...well, it's time for us to go to the auditorium for dinner."

Jody couldn't believe his ears until he got back to his room.Faced with Snape's unexpected answer, she couldn't help but have a sweet expectation and guess deep in her heart.It was the first time that Jody thanked herself for being so exhausted today, so that she could at least have a dreamful sleep, even though Snape in the dream stared at her tenderly for a while, and talked sweetly by Lily's side for a while. , is better than a sleepless night.

It wasn't until the next morning that Jody, with a tired face, received a letter from the Potters at the breakfast table, which woke her up from those chaotic and complicated dreams.A visibly angry Professor McGonagall did not forget to scold her friend for letting her underage daughter know about the Order of the Phoenix.

Snape had taken up Jody's side as he had every morning, and since last night's dinner he had acted as if the quarrel had never happened.Jody had no choice but to sit next to him in his usual position as if nothing had happened.

"Ah, Jody, oh, you look tired, didn't you sleep well last night?" The Potter's owl dropped the letter on the cereal plate in front of Doris, and she picked it up and handed it to Jody, Looking at her tired appearance. "A letter from home?"

Snape, who was sitting on the other side of Jody, couldn't help raising his eyebrows.

"Thank you, I think I should go to bed early tonight." Jody opened the letter and read it roughly, put the letter in his textbook, and continued to eat breakfast as if nothing had happened. "Yeah, it's from my mother, she asked me if James has been up to any more pranks lately."

When the surrounding Slytherins heard this, they laughed in unison.Everyone knows how troublesome Potter and Black in Gryffindor can be. They are definitely the most in the school by Filch because they cast spells on their classmates in the corridor.And there was no doubt that the massive points they lost to Gryffindor were the best chances of any other house winning the House Cup.

"Oh, but his Quidditch skills are really good." Doris couldn't help lowering her voice. "By the way, Jody, you...haven't decided on your partner for the Christmas ball yet?"

Jody said in surprise, "It's only November now?"

Doris shook her head helplessly, "But if you don't make a decision early, it will be too late to invite when the dance is approaching. And if the person you want to invite is picked up first, it will be too bad."

"Doris, what about you? Have you decided on a partner yet?"

"Actually," Doris hesitated for a while, and finally made up her mind to say to Jody, "Jody, can you... ask your brother for me?"

"James?"

Even Jody didn't expect James to be so popular.Even in such a situation, Doris, a Slytherin, would like to invite him as a dance partner.Only now did she belatedly realize that her mischievous brother, after his good friend Sirius who has been surrounded by girls since entering school, has become the pursuit of many girls. object.

Obviously, being the Quidditch star at the school, being James Potter's dance partner is something that the girls feel very proud of.

——But of course, the one James most wants to invite should be removed.

James made an invitation to Lily early, but Lily rejected him without thinking about it.

"I still want to invite Lily." But for James, Lily's refusal seemed to strengthen his goal.At the breakfast table, he looked at Lily who was chatting with friends not far away, with a longing expression on his face: "Remus, what do you think?"

"Evans? She is very nice, warm and kind, and excellent in studies." Lupine was taken aback by James' sudden question before he said. "She's a really nice girl."

"Look, Sirius, I just said my eyesight is fine." James, who got Lupine's approval, proudly showed off to Sirius.

"If you like her the way she usually is—as Remus noticed—I think your eyesight is a bit more normal." Sirius, who arrived late, squeezed in between Lupine and James and sat down, grasping He picked up a piece of bread and stuffed it into his mouth. "Remus, you don't know, what this guy is obsessed with is the way Evans scolds him - since Evans said during the summer vacation that no girl would want to date him, he has to ask her gone."

"Oh..." Lupine lowered his eyes, seemingly concentrating on cutting the bacon on his plate. "If you really want to invite him, then you can invite her a few more times. Maybe she will be moved. She has always been soft-hearted."

"Oh, my dear Remus, you are such a good man!" In response to Lupine's earnest response, James was moved and gave Lupin a big hug through Sirius. This amazing gesture caused many people to panic He cast a surprised look. "Thank you for your proposal!"

Sirius struggled and protested under James: "Hey, I obviously said the same thing. It's you who said that it hurt your image as a golden Chaser, James, you nasty guy!"

"Come on, you're obviously suggesting that I turn into an Animagus that can be used as a pet to please Lily..." James took the opportunity to press Sirius heavily on the back before letting him go with satisfaction. "Merlin blesses you to become a pet that likes to wag its tail!"

"By the way, I saw that both Ravenclaw's Quint and Hufflepuff's Exmo have invited Evans to be their dance partner at the Christmas party." Peter whispered mysteriously muttering.

"Huh...it's not surprising at all." Sirius combed his hair casually but elegantly with his slender fingers, "Evans is indeed the most beautiful girl in the grade, and she has a lot of brains."

"My sister is also beautiful and intelligent!" James shifted his gaze to the Slytherin table. "Sirius, are you sure you don't intend to invite Jody?"

"No," Sirius frowned slightly, "I think the Slytherins will definitely not give up this opportunity to guys from other houses, their dance partners have never had much room to choose, let alone at this time. "

James immediately frowned, "Oh, you guys try to invite Jody, I really don't want to see her dancing partner is that guy Snape."

Sirius patted him on the shoulder. "Looking at the current situation, this may be the most likely outcome."
