[HP] Aunt of the Savior

"He told me everything." Lily held Jody's hand: "James regrets what he said to you too much, but he just doesn't want you to go the wrong way."

Maybe even Lily didn't realize that when she mentioned James, there was a very natural intimacy and protection in her tone.She used to hate James' arrogance and recklessness and love to show off, but maybe because her relationship with her sister was getting worse, she was moved when she found out James' real concern and concern for Jody.He may be really naive, but he is indeed working hard to grow up in his own way, hoping to become a truly qualified elder brother, so as to stop the younger sister who has done wrong things.

With the increase in contact, she became more and more aware of the advantages of this boy.In the end, when she discovered that the body of her Patronus was a doe, and James's Patronus was a stag, she finally realized that she had been unconsciously attracted to this innocent and reckless boy up.

Jody felt a little surprised and disappointed, not only because James hadn't given up persuasion to save herself, but also because the relationship between Lily and James had made such great progress, but she didn't know anything about it.

For the past year, she's been as engrossed as an ostrich in playing a black-magic-obsessed and reckless character, ignoring and missing out on so many things.When she was busy thinking about how to get close to Voldemort, she had forgotten James' affection for Lily.

For a moment, some beautiful delusions appeared in her heart: If she hadn't planned so many secrets, maybe in the past year, she should have had a pleasant chat with Lily about their respective love affairs. and she might whisper to Lily about James's childhood embarrassment and say a few words of kindness for her brother.

But the hot summer breeze brought her thoughts back from the illusory fantasies, and she buried those warm thoughts deep in her heart, covering them with a layer of cold, ugly, overgrown Spiky shell.

"Thank you, Lily. If James wants to apologize to me, I will accept it." Jody was silent for a long time before speaking slowly.She tilted her head with an indifferent expression: "But even if James does love me as much as you said, it still doesn't change his belief that I'll be heinous if I learn black magic, and I'm not even qualified to be James Potter's sister .I believe that the words spoken on impulse represent his true thoughts.”

"Oh, Jody, James really regrets his angry words at the time. Besides, I also think what he did to Sev was too much. We were worried that you would choose to leave home like Sirius did. Running away—oh, maybe you didn't know, Sirius ran away from home last Christmas, and he went to the Potters."

Jody flashed a sarcastic smile that made Lily uncomfortable. "I wouldn't do something so stupid."

Jody actually had a reason for smiling.This "family scandal" of the Black family is an open secret within Slytherin.The reason why they didn't cause too much embarrassment was just because of Regulus Black, the nominal leader of the society.But even so, the Black family has become a running joke in Slytherin privately.Sirius has always hated Snape, and was also one of the chief culprits for Snape's embarrassment, but he probably never thought that he ran away from home, and unexpectedly gave Snape, who was in an embarrassing situation because of making a fool of himself in front of everyone, Pu solved the situation and diverted everyone's attention.

Lily, who didn't know the inside story, deliberately ignored the uncomfortable feeling, and continued to persuade seriously: "What James and Sirius did was indeed wrong at that time, but the crux of the problem is why you must learn black magic? It's evil. Yeah! Look at what they did to Mary! You shouldn't be hanging out with those people, they're all...so bad."

The most direct accusation that the kind and gentle red-haired girl can say to her classmates is only evil and bad. She looked at Jody with a look of expectation in her eyes. "I know, you were the one who broke the black magic and saved Mary that day by the lake. You're not like those bad guys. Actually, James and I don't think you'd want to be Death Eaters either, right? You must know that those Death Eaters have become inhuman lunatics, even if you are in that club...but we studied how terrible Voldemort is when we were in the first grade, how could you choose..."

"Lily, the reason why I lifted the black magic on Mary was to protect the Slytherin classmates from being kicked out of Hogwarts, not how rich my compassion is. In fact, we started from the first grade. We were already attracted by the power of the Dark Lord. We have lied since then." Jody interrupted Lily and said impatiently. "Slytherin is a school that respects strength. At that time, we were too weak and ignorant, so we needed to know more about the Dark Lord. It is not convenient for us to inquire about information in Slytherin, so we asked you for help. "

She paused, watching Lily's face suddenly become ugly after hearing those words, but she continued to speak coldly. "Knowing the greatness of the Dark Lord, I don't think either Severus or I would refuse to be a Death Eater if I could get what I wanted for it. Of course we were well aware of joining the society that studies the Dark Arts Meaning, James' accusations aren't all wrong. You see, Lily, you don't really know me, and you don't know Severus. You don't know what we're doing, or what we're thinking."

"No! It's not true!" Lily stood up abruptly, and the cruel truth that Jody said made her feel that her whole body had been greatly shocked.

"No, it's true."

While Jody and Lily were talking in the shade by the river, Snape had returned to his home in Spider's End.

When he left, he heard the conversation between the two girls behind him. Fortunately, Jody stopped Lily who was about to follow.Because he really wants to deal with the next thing alone as Jody said-I hope everything goes well.

He felt that his brain went blank due to nervousness and anxiety, but the familiarity with this area allowed him to still move without thinking.He walked along the path beside the small river, passed through a maze of old brick houses, passed the lingering mill, and finally stood in front of the house at the end of the alley.

Snape carefully checked with his wand, and was disappointed to find that the spell he had cast before going out was still untouched, which proved that no one had come in except Irene today.He pushed open the dilapidated wooden door and stepped into the house.

The house was as quiet as he had left it, without arguing, as he had expected it to be day after day, year after year.

Snape found Irene in the master bedroom, she was lying on the bed, her eye sockets and cheeks were sunken, her face was so pale that she was about to die.He understood why Lily planned to send Erin to the hospital, anyone could see that she looked terrible.

"You're back," she said.

Snape offered Irene a glass of water with his wand, "Would you like to sit for a while?"

With Snape's support, Irene sat up, leaned against the pillow Snape carefully arranged for her behind her, looked at her son with soft eyes, and said in a gentle tone, "Sev, is today going well?"

Snape felt a little dazed.He couldn't remember how many years he hadn't heard his mother speak to him in such a gentle manner.He nodded. "very smooth."

He didn't hide from Irene that he was going to meet Voldemort today.In fact, he told Erin about it in a very proud and proud tone.He, the Half-Blood Prince, was appreciated by the heir of Slytherin and had the opportunity to follow him to learn more powerful magic and make some great achievements.How proud that would be!

Snape hoped that because of this glory, Irene would be able to look forward to the future and have the will to survive. He had a terrifying premonition that his mother was approaching death, which his potion could not stop and change destiny.

"You shouldn't go out, you're not in good health." Snape tightly gripped Irene's wand.

"I want to go to the corner and wait for you when you come back." Erin said, "I want to see Miss Potter." She took a deep breath, "Sev, you know, I don't have much time. I want to see What kind of girl is she—she's important to you, isn't she?"

"You'll be fine," Snape said dryly. "As long as you rest in peace, without any interruptions. The potions I make are selling well, so you don't have to worry about money."

"I've been recuperating since you came back, who else will bother me?" Irene reached out and pulled Snape to sit on the edge of her bed, "Is your father? You should know, He hasn't been around during the days you've been back. He won't bother me..."

"He will come back when he has no money." When Irene mentioned Tobia, the corner of Snape's mouth suddenly twisted. "He's not going to keep coming back."

"No, he won't come back. I know, Sev, you want to kill him." Irene's voice was very soft, but it thundered in Snape's ear like a thunderbolt.Her eyes became as cold as usual at that moment: "You want to kill Tobia."

Looking at her son's stunned face, a long-lost smile appeared on Irene's face. "Oh, I don't even need to take Legilimency on you, Sev, you're my son." She stroked Snape's cheek lightly, "I'm your mother, of course I understand whatever you think. "

"But you can't kill him, because you can't find him again." Irene looked out the window. "He's not coming back."
