[HP] Aunt of the Savior

Facing Snape's worry, Jody's expression flashed a trace of imperceptible tension. She reached out and took Snape to sit beside her, holding his arm and resting her head on his shoulder.I don't know when it started, but his side always made her feel more secure.

"Of course, I know very well." Jody was silent for a long time before answering softly, "But in the future we will hide more and more things from the Dark Lord. This matter will soon be nothing."

"I must be crazy to do these things with you." Snape raised his free hand, stroked Jody's hair gently, and muttered in a low voice.

"Then I'm glad you're 'crazy'," she said, kissing his cheek with a sly smile.

Snape never asked Jody who made such a plan to make the most of the deaths of the Potters, but he still cooperated with her in doing all this, and even accidentally got what he had expected through this deception. of glory.

This has clearly deviated from his original pursuit.He therefore could not warn the Dark Lord of his negligence.

The Dark Lord, in his excitement, clearly hadn't considered - or he didn't care - what the other wizards would be feeling when they saw the Potter house surrounded by the Dark Mark.Godric's Hollow is too famous in the existing wizarding community in Britain. He was only satisfied with the panic caused by the appearance of the Dark Mark here, but he didn't consider that this panic was enough to arouse people's determination to fight against it.

It is well known that Voldemort and the Death Eaters have already caused many murders, but the Potter family is the only ancient pure-blood family known to the public to be attacked by the Death Eaters. This incident has caused great controversy among wizards. outrage and anxiety.If even the low-key and peaceful pure-blood family like the Potter family cannot escape, then who else can escape Voldemort's murderous hands?

Dumbledore must have known all about Jody's plan, and surely he would not have missed such a good opportunity - maybe he had planned it all, Snape thought.

The subsequent situation confirmed Snape's speculation. Dumbledore made a public speech, condemning Voldemort's recent series of atrocities and calling on people to unite against him.This speech was finally published in the "Daily Prophet", the editor-in-chief of the newspaper, Mr. Kane, fled before the newspaper was fully released, and the "Daily Prophet" was also suspended because of this, but the last newspaper went smoothly Sent to every subscriber.

Dumbledore's speech was seen as a sign that the wizarding world had officially begun to fight against Voldemort. After the "killing" of the Potters, Voldemort completely faded away from what Abraxas Malfoy had painstakingly shaped for him a few years ago. His glorious image has become the object of fear for all wizards.

But fear cannot be a powerful weapon.In the past two years, the situation in the wizarding world was still controlled by Voldemort.Unsatisfied with this, Voldemort has recently started frequent contact with wizards in the European continent, hoping to expand his power to the European continent.Judging from what Regulus and Batty had gained from their trip to Europe, Voldemort's plan was progressing very smoothly without any obstacles.

Snape, distracted by memories, frowned.Judging from the current situation, Voldemort had already gained the upper hand, and he really didn't want Jody to take the risk of sending any information to the Order of the Phoenix.Unfortunately, he knew very well in his heart that he would not be able to convince Jody unless the two sides decided the final outcome.Jody's behavior of approaching the Order of the Phoenix time and time again disturbed and frightened Snape far more than the pain that befell his arm from time to time.

—especially now!

Snape looked at the empty room and sat down on the sofa with a tense face.After the ceremony just ended, they obviously disapparated and left Lestrange's house together, but Jody didn't return to their home.He knew that she must have gone directly to the Order of the Phoenix again!

Perhaps Severus would be unhappy about his adventure again?The moment Jody arrived at the Order of the Phoenix, such a thought flashed through his mind.But she quickly put the thought behind her for the time being—it was already the safest way to come directly to the Order of the Phoenix when everyone Apparated back.And sometimes there are some unexpected benefits in doing so, Jody thought silently, she didn't mind looking a little miserable in front of Dumbledore.

As an organization created by Dumbledore, the headquarters of the Order of the Phoenix is ​​of course located in Dumbledore's house, which is in Godric's Hollow.Every time Jody apparates here, the destination is the private library in Dumbledore's study. This place is protected by a special spell to ensure that her arrival will not be seen by others, and she can still be seen in the first place. Time to inform Dumbledore.

"Oh, Jody, here you come." Dumbledore pushed his half-moon glasses.When he saw Jody coming out of the library, there was a hint of worry in his calm expression. "You don't look well, do you want to take a rest?"

Jody's face was extremely pale, and there were traces of sweat on his temples, and his whole body was exhausted visible to the naked eye. This state was very abnormal for a wizard.

"It doesn't matter to me. Voldemort has just accepted the oath of allegiance from a new servant. He wants to remind us a little bit to remember our...duties." Jody smiled wryly, subconsciously stroking the Dark Mark on his right arm with his left hand Location. "Regulus Black and Barty Crouch Jr. just joined us."

Hearing Jody's phrase that she often said it doesn't matter, Dumbledore sighed and got straight to the point. "...It seems that his wooing plan has succeeded?"

After several years of private contact, he has gradually gotten used to not treating the young witch in front of him as the little girl who ran to his office and asked to join the Order of the Phoenix—in fact, since the seventh grade, Dumbledore no longer Persuaded Jody to change his mind.And Jody never needs Dumbledore to express sympathy and comfort to her like a weak little girl, even if she looks very embarrassed sometimes.

Speaking of this matter, Jody's tone was somewhat disdainful. She happened to be one of the very few people who knew that Voldemort had tried to apply for a professorship at Hogwarts. "Nonario Bastad's support helped Karkaroff a lot. After Voldemort found that he could not get Hogwarts now, he temporarily turned his target to Durmstrang."

"Unlike Hogwarts, Durmstrang has always been tolerant of the dark arts. I believe this is very beneficial and attractive to Voldemort." Dumbledore nodded, "But I don't think it's easy for him to get real support."

Jody squinted his eyes and didn't ask Dumbledore why he said that.Having been a spy for the Order for so long, she never pressed for things that Dumbledore didn't tell her, which made her appear even more trustworthy.And all along, she suspected that Dumbledore actually knew her plan very well, but he didn't expose it.

On the surface, the forces of the Death Eaters now have the upper hand, but as a double agent, Jody knows better than anyone that the real important battlefield for both sides lies in the Ministry of Magic.If Voldemort completely lost control of the Ministry of Magic, the tables would change in an instant.From this point of view, it is really unwise for Voldemort to expand his power to Europe when his foothold is unstable.

Jody thought so, and said: "Voldemort's next target will probably be a goblin, and he needs a special jewelry made by a goblin to ensure Mrs. Bastard's loyalty. So what should I tell Voldemort?"

"I'll ask Sirius and James to keep an eye on the goblins, you know they don't want to do nothing." Dumbledore thought, "If he asks, you can tell him that the Order of the Phoenix is ​​planning an attack on the Death Eaters." Counterattack, because their recent actions have become more and more crazy."

"Okay, if there is nothing else, I'll go back first." Jody stood up and straightened her robe.However, before leaving, she hesitated and asked, "Lily...how is it now? I'm sorry about what happened that day."

Antonin Doholov attacked the subway in Surrey not long ago. Unfortunately, the Evans couple, who were planning the wedding of their eldest daughter Penny, were on this subway.When the members of the Order of the Phoenix arrived, they had already died because of the accident caused by Doholov.Mentioning this matter, Jody lowered his head guiltily. "It was Doholov's own private action, and I didn't know it beforehand."

"Don't worry, Lily is a very strong child just like you, and James is by her side. And it's not your fault." In the end, Dumbledore still warned. "be careful."

"I see." Jody took a deep breath, nodded, and disappeared.

While Jody was talking to Dumbledore, James, Sirius, and Frank Longbottom sat curiously in the downstairs living room staring at the ceiling above which Dumbledore's study was known.

This is what Arthur Weasley saw when he walked into the living room: "What are you doing?"

"We were wondering, who is this person that Dumbledore met?" Frank asked curiously. "Just now I found that the number on the wall clock has increased by one more, and there is one more person in the house. But I have been sitting here, and no one has come in. It seems that this is not the first time this has happened."

There is a magical wall clock in Dumbledore's living room. The number displayed on it is not the time, but the total number of people in the house, and neither invisibility nor Animagus can fool it.

"If it was an enemy, Dumbledore would have discovered it long ago." James added. "So that person must have directly Apparated to Dumbledore's study, which is really mysterious."

"This person is probably also a member of the Order of the Phoenix." Sirius put his hands behind his neck and stared at the ceiling with his head up. "However, his identity seems to be very mysterious. Maybe he doesn't want to show his position, maybe..." Halfway through his speech, he suddenly stopped with a strange expression.

"Maybe it's time for you to wash your hands and prepare to eat. I just saw that Lily and Alice had already prepared the meal." Arthur felt helpless at the strong curiosity of these young boys. "Also, I don't think we should ask Dumbledore who he has seen. That is Dumbledore's secret, or the secret of the Order of the Phoenix."

"Okay, Arthur is right—ah, that person is gone." Noticing the change in the number on the dial, Frank withdrew his gaze with some regret, "Shall we go to eat?"

"The meal is ready—ah, did Arthur tell you?" Lily Potter, wearing an apron around her waist, walked into the living room behind Arthur, her face a little haggard, but her beautiful green eyes Still shining like that, the whole person showed a special spirit of excitement.After Lily appeared, the heartless atmosphere in the living room just now disappeared, and everyone showed a subtle reserve and cautiousness.

"I'll see if Alice needs help!" Frank was the first to leave the living room.

Arthur went to the fireplace. "I'm going back, Mollie and the kids are waiting for me to go back to dinner."

"Thank Molly for the baked fruit pie recipe, Arthur." Lily wiped her hands on the apron and said to Arthur quickly. "I tried it the day before yesterday, and the finished product was delicious. Next time I can make more and bring it to the children."

"Okay." Arthur smiled, nodded and stepped into the fireplace.

"Lily." After everyone else had left the living room, James wrapped his arms around his wife from behind and held her in his arms. ""

"Actually, you don't have to be so careful." Lily's tense shoulders collapsed, and she lightly patted James' arms around her waist. "I mean, what happened to me wasn't anything special, was it?"

"Sorry, Lily, I couldn't protect them," James whispered.He felt so guilty about this incident that he joined the Order of the Phoenix for justice and ended up failing to protect his wife's parents. "Sirius and I have decided to go around when there are no missions. You know, his motorcycle has been modified very well. We can fly here and fly there."

"That's not your fault, it's those death eaters..." Lily suddenly stopped talking, "Anyway, you guys have to be careful."

"What about Petunia?" James froze for a short moment, then said softly as if nothing had happened, "Are you sure you really intend to make her forget about it?"

"Yeah, I want Penny to forget about it and live happily ever after. I don't want her new life to be overshadowed, and she'll think that Mom and Dad got sick and died before she got married, not because of her wedding… ...I don't want her to share this pain with me." Lily nodded, and turned her head hard to show James a bright smile. "Besides, I still have you and my friends from the Order of the Phoenix. Alright, James, let's go to dinner. Molly and I have learned a lot!"
