[HP] Aunt of the Savior

Erin's words undoubtedly moved Jody.

After slowly calming down from nervousness and shyness, Jody began to regain some ability to think.Of course Irene should know about Snape and her, because Snape once visited Potter's house during the summer vacation. (Now she of course understands that the reason why Snape agreed to go to the Potters is certainly not because of Lily.) And Snape should not have told his mother about her plan, otherwise Erin would not have worried that the Potters would look down on her. Snape's hybrid identity.She might have mistakenly thought that the Potter family had also chosen to honor the pure-blooded Voldemort.

However, to Snape, whether she is as important as Irene said, she is not so confident,

Jody is very aware that there are still too many uncertain factors in this relationship.

After choosing a dangerous path, she has been pessimistic and dare not think about the so-called future.At least until one side wins completely, she is not sure whether she can live to the end safe and sound.At this moment, especially when she clearly knew that the other party's views were not completely consistent with her own, she dared not think too optimistically about the final outcome between her and Snape.

Also, Snape had never discussed the future or commitment with her, as if it was too early for them to discuss this topic, and they were not close enough.In fact, they did lack the desperate frenzy of teenage boys and girls falling in love, and they hadn't even kissed yet.

But Irene thought far ahead, and she showed more confidence in their relationship than in themselves.Jody didn't know if it was her mother's intuition or a wish she had.Having read some of Snape's memories, Jody knew how the mother and child got along, which made her less trust Irene's judgment.

Perhaps seeing the surprise and disbelief on Jody's face, Irene frowned slightly: "Oh, Miss Potter, believe me, I know Sif very well, even though I am not a qualified mother most of the time, But I can't be mistaken. I feel sorry for Severus…"

When mentioning her son, Irene showed a guilty expression on her face.

"If you really want to, you can make it up to Severus when you regain your health," Jody said encouragingly.During the conversation, she had already realized the reason why Snape's face was so ugly. Irene was not only seriously ill, but also lost the will to live. She had been entrusting her last words since just now.It made Jody feel sorry for Snape, who knew best of all how much he'd spent behind his back trying to improve Irene's health. "I think that's what Severus wanted too."

"Sev hated his father Tobia," Erin said suddenly. "He even hated all Muggles for it. But I love Tobias, we love each other. Maybe Sevre thinks Tobias doesn't love me anymore, but even if he thinks Sevre and I are monsters, he Still didn't leave this family, he never abandoned us, nor drove us away. Over the years, no matter how bad our relationship was, we still tolerated each other and never separated completely. But now, I am willing to let He's gone, and even if we're apart, he'll never forget me. I'm more than happy with that."

Jody, who was still wondering why Irene suddenly changed the subject at first, suddenly understood that this was the explanation given by Irene.Her life was tightly intertwined with Tobias, and when she let Tobias leave, her life had already entered the countdown.

Jody was silent. She couldn't understand the mutual tormenting love between Irene and Tobias, the love that hurt herself and everyone around her—if it could be called love.But the Snapes did keep their marriage going.Perhaps that was the so-called tolerance in Irene's mouth, but she couldn't accept it.She felt sorry for Snape who lived in such a family.

"Miss Potter, no, Jody." Irene, who was caught in her own thoughts, suddenly raised her head and stared at the girl in front of her: "This is not a magical oath, but I still want to hear your answer—from now on, please Take good care of Sif, okay?"

"Okay," Jody said softly.

Perhaps because of getting Jody's answer, after that, Eileen seemed relaxed. She started talking to Jody about Snape's childhood, and began to show off every little advantage of her son like an ordinary mother , until Snape brought dinner.

The dinner that Snape sent to Irene was a nutritious light cream vegetable soup, soft white bread and a bottle of after-dinner potion.Jody felt very fresh about Snape carrying the dinner. She didn't know he would go to the kitchen. In fact, because Mrs. Potter took such good care of the family, she hardly did these things.

"Sorry, there's nothing decent at home." Snape prepared potato salad and fried meat for himself and Jody, as well as the same bread and soup as Irene.

Erin asked them to leave as soon as they started eating, thinking they should have had a separate meal instead of being with the patient.But Snape felt that the dilapidated tables and chairs in his house were actually completely different from the expectations in Irene's eyes.

Jody sat down on the dark old wooden chair indifferently, took a sip of the salad, and said with satisfaction: "Oh, I think it's already very good."

Snape's cooking wasn't great, but it wasn't bad. Jody thought so from the bottom of her heart, so her tone was very sincere.This kind of sincerity made Snape finally feel a little happier, and his expression softened: "As long as you like it. Mom, she...she's in a bad situation, so I..."

Holding the cutlery in hand, Snape finally had a chance to add something he'd been meaning to say for a long time.He felt that it was too rash and sudden to bring Jody home so suddenly, but he couldn't refuse Irene's request.

"..." Jody hesitated for a moment, and finally decided to speak out: "I think, maybe Mr. Snape can help Mrs. Snape's condition?"

The cutlery in Snape's hands fell on the table, making a harsh clash with the old china plate on the table, "What did she say to you?"

Jody was taken aback by Snape's sudden agitation. "No, she just said..." Thinking of Irene's words, Jody couldn't help but feel hot.God, how could she have told Snape that his mother had fixed their relationship for him and her?

However, Snape's complexion didn't improve, his whole body tensed up, and he asked suspiciously: "But you said, do you think that man will help her condition?"

"Because it can be seen that although I know that Mr. Snape may not be a good husband, she really loves him, and she wants him to stay by her side." Jody frowned. The reaction was very incomprehensible. "I suppose you know that very well, don't you?"

"Yes, I should know..." Snape froze for a moment, the corners of his mouth twisted. "I thought I was right. Without that man, our life would be fine and Mom would be fine. But you're right, she loves him so much..."

When he said these words, he was in pain as if squeezed out from between his teeth. "So she made her body worse, just so that I couldn't find him. Just because I wanted to kill Tobias Snape, I made her closer to death..."

"Oh," Jody was so surprised that she didn't know what to say. She knew that she shouldn't agree with Snape's dangerous idea, but the boy's painful expression made it impossible for her to blame him.There is no doubt that the deterioration of Irene's physical condition has put a heavy burden on his heart.

"You can tell me." She finally just whispered, "I thought we wouldn't keep anything from each other anymore."

"I'm not only cruel, but also stupid, aren't I?" Snape looked at Jody anxiously, not sure if she would show disgust.The reason he kept it from her was of course because she loved her family so much, but he wanted to murder his father.

"No." Jody thought of Irene, and answered without hesitation.

She was amazed at her lack of hesitation, thinking she was to blame for Snape, after all he had tried to plot a murder, and it was against his father.But in fact, when she heard Snape say that, she felt heartbroken for Snape's expression, and she had no pity for Tobias who almost died at the hands of her son.

Maybe to Irene, that man wasn't so bad, but to Jody, Snape's parents were all terrible.They were selfish and never seriously loved their son, but made him a victim of misfortune between them.

"Severus," Jody said, looking at the nervous Snape, and decided to put the matter to the back of his mind. "Mrs. Snape didn't want to get Mr. Snape back, and what she told me was not what you did. Also, I don't think your idea is stupid and cruel, especially when it doesn't without becoming a fact.”

"..." Snape's eyes clearly showed disbelief.

"She's asking about the future." In front of Snape, who was in a gloomy mood, Jody mustered up his greatest courage and spoke out Irene's words. "What she asked was... the future between us. She was afraid that I, or my parents, would be prejudiced against your blood... She said she knew you well, she said that even though she left you, you And I... You know, we haven't talked about this yet, have we?"

"Joe," Snape looked at Jody in shock through the dark old wooden table, his expression seemed to be stern, but there seemed to be two fires dancing in those black eyes, "although I Don’t want to admit how much my mother knows me. But, my mother was right this time.”

He hung his head, as if considering how to speak—Jody could see the pale pink ear tips in his dark hair again this time—but he quickly looked up again to meet Jody's eyes.

"I'll never let you leave me," Snape said firmly.
