[HP] Aunt of the Savior

After replying to Lucius and telling Lucius that they would visit on time and confirming the time of the visit, the schedule to go to Malfoy Manor at the beginning of the summer vacation was so smoothly booked.

Snape and Jody were both nervous and excited about their upcoming meeting with Voldemort.But for Jody, what makes her more nervous now is that she is going home to see her parents.

She knew that she had to behave differently from the past, so that her choice of being different from her family would be natural, but when she got off the train and saw James and Sirius hugging their parents warmly, she still felt a tingling pain in her heart Almost unable to take a step.

They all looked so happy: Mom and Dad had benign smiles on their faces (she noticed they looked a lot older than they had last summer) and James and Sirius surrounded them, beaming and beaming about what.From the eyes of others, maybe they look more like a family, but she stands here like an outsider.

Snape gently put his hand on Jody's shoulder from behind. "……Let's go back."

In fact, he really didn't want to say such a thing. If he was strong and rich enough, he could take her away from that annoying Potter and Black.If she misses her parents, he can just invite them over...

By the time Snape dully realized what he was thinking, the thought had already made his ears burn.He coughed lightly, glad he was standing behind Jody now.Also, since his height started to skyrocket, it wasn't so easy for Jody to spot when his ears were turning red.

"We'll meet in Diagon Alley later, and then we'll take the Knight Bus together to...Malfoy Manor." Snape reluctantly squeezed the name out of his teeth, and in his opinion, chose the address for his home Such a name is too exaggerated and ostentatious.He didn't want to admit that most of this feeling was because he was madly envious of the manor owned by Malfoy at the moment.

"Okay." Jody adjusted his mood, "I'll see you later, Severus."

She left Snape, and walked in front of her parents very slowly, keeping a natural and indifferent expression on her face as much as possible: "Dad, Mom."

The smiles on the faces of the Potters suddenly disappeared, and they nodded stiffly.James on the side quickly stretched his face, and Sirius no longer smiled.The atmosphere suddenly became awkward.

Many people secretly watched the Potter family curiously. What happened in Hogwarts has already reached the level of public knowledge after the Christmas holiday.This kind of staring made Jody feel a little embarrassed, but she straightened her back and didn't care at all, even with a little smug smile.

Seeing Jody's expression, and being scrutinized with strange eyes by the people around him, the expressions of the Potters became even uglier.But it seemed that they were concerned about the current situation, they didn't say anything, and immediately apparated home with the three children.

"Jodi Potter, come with me." As soon as he got home, Mr. Potter walked into his study with a straight face, while Mrs. Potter looked like he was about to cry up.She waved to the concerned boys, walked into the study after Jody, and closed the door behind her.

James and Sirius, who were not allowed to participate in the conversation, sat down on the sofa helplessly.It was not difficult for them to imagine how the Potters would feel after Jody had not only ignored the Howler letters, but hadn't even come home for Christmas.They were worried about what kind of conversation there was going to be in the study.

"I hope my father and mother can persuade her to give up those evil thoughts." James stared at the wooden door of the study, sitting on the sofa in frustration, clenched and loosened his fists.His tone was listless and frustrated: "Papafoot, I really don't understand why things have turned out like this? What if, what if Jody also..."

"Don't worry, Aunt Sercia and the others will definitely not be as cold and crazy as my mother." Sirius patted him on the shoulder and said with self-deprecating, "Maybe, Jody and I should have changed schools in the first place." , this will benefit both of our families, and everyone will be satisfied."

"Don't be stupid, Padfoot." James thumped his friend: "Without you, there would be no hijackers." He turned his head to look at the study again, "And... I always feel that Jody might not would agree."

The situation in the study was not as James and Sirius had imagined.In fact, if they saw what happened in the room, they would probably be surprised from ear to ear.

Because just as the door of the study was closed, Mrs. Potter couldn't help but hugged her daughter tightly into her arms.

"Mom, are you in good health?" Jody hugged her mother back and asked her what she wanted to ask most in a year.She could only ask this way, because she really didn't have the courage to confirm how long her parents had left.

"Oh, we're fine, but my baby. My poor baby." She cried and kissed her daughter's forehead and cheek, "God, how can you do such a dangerous thing? We shouldn't tell you that Is it right? I'm sorry..."

Mrs. Potter let go of her hand and looked at her daughter.Jody did look better than she imagined, at least not like the bad face she had when she just learned about the birth potion that Christmas.

"Jody..." Mr. Potter also had a painful expression on his face. "sorry."

He felt now that his wife had been right, that he shouldn't have told Jody those things, that he shouldn't have mistrusted his daughter.But it may be too late to regret now.He didn't even feel like he was in a position to stop Jody from taking risks anymore - even though he didn't want his daughter to do so at all.

Ever since the incident in Diagon Alley, they have been wanting to say this to their daughter.Although Dumbledore's letter did not directly accuse them, Mr. Potter could still read between the lines that the wizard he had always respected disapproved of them making Jody have such dangerous ideas.

"Oh, Dad, Mom." Jody was surprised that her parents would apologize to her.She smiled and shook her head desperately, "No, I don't think you guys are doing it wrong. I'm glad I knew that secret, early enough to have enough time to prepare. I know it's very important for me to do this." It's a risk, but I think it's the most useful. Think about Diagon Alley, I can keep James from getting hurt! I can protect him by doing this!"

"I'm really glad that James is okay, but you are our child, and we don't want you to get hurt. Do you understand, Jody?" Mr. Porter looked at his daughter who was already taller than his wife, and finally fully realized that she had already died. No longer the little girl who would ask herself for birthday presents.Although she was not a Gryffindor, she had the bravery of a young man like her son who wanted to rush out to fight the Death Eaters, and was determined to protect the family like a warrior. "You don't need to be like this..."

"Don't worry about me, Mom, Dad. I just did what I wanted to do and only I could do." Jody hugged her parents again, feeling very warm in her heart.The joy of being comforted by her parents made her completely forget her previous anxiety and fear.

"Okay, then you must protect yourself. And..." Mr. Potter suddenly mentioned Snape with a strange expression: "I mean, that boy is Mr. Snape..."

"...he will help me." Jody felt his cheeks getting hot.God, she forgot that James must have told Mom and Dad that she and Snape were dating. "He knows what I'm doing."

After saying this, she obviously felt that Mrs. Potter was relieved, and she was even in the mood to joke: "I knew that boy must not be a bad boy. Our daughter must be right?"

Jody was a little embarrassed.She didn't expect that her father and mother would suddenly care about this issue.But for Jody, this is also a good idea. Compared with the embarrassing talk about his relationship with his parents, even going to see Voldemort is not so tense and embarrassing.

But when the [-]rd of July did arrive, the trip to Malfoy Manor still made Jody nervous—this time, of course, because of the damn Knight Bus, which was a terrible form of transport.

Even though they knew that Malfoy might be one of the wealthiest families in the wizarding world, the sight in front of them still surprised the two young people. What appeared in front of them was a beautiful pastoral road with a natural growth on the left. Wild herbs and shrubs of all kinds, while to the right are tall and manicured hedges.At a glance, they could not see where the hedges ended.They walked straight along the hedge, and at last they saw two very handsome wrought-iron gates, painted with shiny gold powder, which reflected the golden light in the sun.Through the carvings on the iron gate, you can see the spacious and flat driveway and the beautifully maintained garden inside.

——This is not just the mansion they expected, but a real manor.

"It's only now that I feel that Lucius' appearance in school is considered approachable." Jody couldn't help but sigh.

"Indeed." Snape flattened his lips, and had to admit that Jody's statement was correct.The wealth of the Malfoy family really amazed him, but also made him feel deeply ashamed.He couldn't imagine how Jody would feel when he saw Spider's End after seeing such a manor.

He subconsciously turned his head to look at "Your expression..."

Jody held his head high, and looked at everything in front of him with an almost overlooking look.Her expression was very similar to the one she showed him in memory, cold and haughty, but it made him feel very strange.

"This is the necessary expression when facing Malfoy." Jody turned his head, showing the same smile as usual, and whispered to Snape.

Snape's mouth twitched.Facing the direction of the iron gate, they raised their wands into the air.This is a ritual action when visiting the other party's home for the first time, and it is also a notification to the head of the household.In the next second, Lucius Malfoy appeared beside them.

"Please come in," Lucius led the way in front, and with him leading the way, they naturally passed through the iron gate directly, as if it didn't exist.Jody and Snape followed him, trying to make sure they didn't take too much interest in the garden's elegant-looking sculptures, rustling fountains, and delicately manicured shrubs.When they walked to the wide driveway, a white peacock suddenly came out of nowhere and flapped its wings and flew to Lucius' shoulder. Rubbing to the side, the long white tail feathers dragged on Lucius' delicate robe, like some special decoration.

"Hercubogo, good boy, go over there and play by yourself." Lucius said to the white peacock on his shoulder in a doting tone.Even so, he took the peacock as far as the respectable mansion at the end of the drive.

When the peacock looked back for the fourth or fifth time at the guests following its master, Jody finally couldn't help but praise: "It's so beautiful."

"Admirable pet," Snape said slightly mockingly.He always felt that Lucius was a bit strange. To be more precise, the Lucius who played leisurely with the white peacock in front of him was completely different from the Lucius who he saw at the Three Broomsticks who looked embarrassed because of his father. .As the potionist who provided the potion, Snape now knows very well that those potions are not enough to cure dragon pox—he has consulted a lot of information, and although he has not found out the specific effect of that potion, he can be sure that The medicine is not designed to treat dragon pox at all.

"Thank you for the compliment." Lucius' voice was light and cheerful.

The door opened automatically to welcome the host and guests. They walked into the hall covered with gorgeous carpets. There were many portraits hanging on both sides of the hall. The people in the portraits all raised their chins high.But their gesture was undoubtedly wasted, because the two guests did not look sideways at all, and did not look at it at all.

"Ah, two excellent Slytherins!" Near the living room, there was a particularly large portrait, and he praised Jody and Snape loudly in satisfaction.

Lucius smiled and introduced this Lucius Malfoy I to them, and then led them into the living room.

It was a very ornate and delicately furnished room that felt bling without being glaring or ostentatious.Since it was summer, firewood was neatly piled up in the marble fireplace, and a gilt mirror was placed above the fireplace, which was not lit.A mahogany coffee table, sofa and armchairs are placed not far from the fireplace.Sunlight came in from the diamond-shaped windows, but the room didn't feel stuffy at all.

"Glad we met again, Mr. Snape, Miss Potter." The hideous and terrifying man sat in one of the largest and finest armchairs, and seemed to be grinning at them.
