[HP] Aunt of the Savior

When Jody finally returned home from the Order of the Phoenix, she was unsurprisingly given a "warm" welcome by her lover——

"I've given up hope of convincing you to give up working with Dumbledore, but you should at least let me know where you're going in advance—maybe I should find some kind of magic spell to bind us together so that I can know you at any time." Where and what did you encounter?" Snape folded his hands on his chest, glared at Jody aggressively, and shoved the potion bottle roughly into her hand. "Drink this."

Even if he got angry again, he didn't forget to prepare the potion. It was a slow-release agent improved by him, which had a special slow-release effect on the pain caused by black magic damage.

Seeing the familiar light blue potion, Jody subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief.At least Severus wasn't out of his wits - although she doubted that would happen given his character.

"I'm sorry, Severus, but you should be well aware that it's safer for me to do that." Jody gulped down the potion, then stepped forward to give Snape a warm, grateful hug. Kiss on the cheek, trying to appease his anger. "Besides, we've already bound each other, otherwise we wouldn't be able to live in this house together."

It was rare for Snape not to restrain his bad mood because of Jody's enthusiasm, and he didn't helplessly ruffle her long hair as usual, even though he was very used to doing so in the past two years.

He sat silently on the sofa and stared at the pattern of the floor in a daze. It was the floor that Jody had chosen in Diagon Alley himself.Even the smallest layout and furnishings of this house were carefully selected and decided by Jody. This is a warm residence that is completely different from the atmosphere in Spider's End Alley.At that time, Snape felt from the bottom of his heart that something he longed for was finally his, and his expectation became a reality, but the excitement and satisfaction of living here in the first place seemed to fade away with the passage of time. up.

Even though they lived together, even though they were close enough, Snape still felt as if there was an unnerving sense of distance between him and Jody, and that didn't come with the passage of time and close contact. And really shrink.This is completely different from the kind of only having each other that he longed for, just like their common home was not purchased by him for his beloved girl as he expected.

Before their death, the Potters had decided to leave half of the Porter family's huge property to the twins. They arranged everything in advance without telling James to ensure that Jody could get what she deserved after their death.After their deaths, Jody took a sum out of her share and commissioned the goblins of Gringotts to buy for her this Laurel Cottage in the southern England countryside as her new home.The new house is not far from the village of Ottery-St. Catchpole. There are many pure-blood wizard families living in this area. The protection of the Muggle Repelling Spell makes it easy for the area to be free from Muggle disturbance, and the land price is relatively relatively. Cheap.

Snape insisted on spending nearly all of his savings on the interior and furniture of the house in return for Jody's offer to live with him.He would have preferred to sell the house in Spinner's End for Laurel Cottage, if he could.Based on masculine dignity and personal pride, Snape didn't want Jody to be the provider of this place instead of himself.But Jody proposed that he keep the address at Spinner's End as their ostensible residence, and hide Laurel Cottage with every spell they could think of.No one could find it here, much less Apparate within the confines of the house, except Jody and Snape.

Snape had to admit that Jody's decision was very correct, because most of the pure-blood Death Eater families had already invited this distinguished guest, and the noble Dark Lord would never be interested in visiting the ruins of the Muggle-inhabited area. The house resides.But if their address was Laurel Cottage, there would be no such grandiose excuse for him to avoid the invitation, for whatever reason he didn't want the Dark Lord to bring his Death Eaters to visit what he considered his home and make him whole. The laurel cottage that feels extremely warm to the heart.

Thankfully, the Dark Lord has no recent plans that require his men to marry, and they have never been foolish enough to mention their intimacy to the Dark Lord.

Of course, there are still a few people who know that Miss Potter has had a hot fight with the half-race Snape since they were in school, but the fact that they are not married seems more reasonable to these people.A direct descendant of an ancient pure-blood family should not consider marrying a half-blood, even if that half-blood's abilities were affirmed and appreciated by the Dark Lord.After experiencing what happened to Regulus and Barty Jr., some people have even judged that this is a way for Miss Potter to win over her own power.In fact, in the eyes of those people, the fact that Jody Potter is trusted and valued by the Dark Lord is enough to make people imagine. After all, not everyone knows that Jody has been secretly and alone providing some information about the Order of the Phoenix to the Dark Lord. And it effectively helped the Dark Lord gain the upper hand in the current situation.

Under such circumstances, it is natural for them to maintain their current relationship.Although the current situation made Snape feel very depressed.

"Severus," Jody apologized again, sitting down beside Snape, putting his hands on his shoulders. "I am really sorry."

"You don't have to feel sorry." Snape said dryly, his emotions seemed to have regained his composure: "I understand that the Dark Lord also wants information about the Order of the Phoenix, and you are right to do so."

"I promise I will take good care of myself." Jody assured Snape solemnly. "I won't be exposed."

"I hope so." Snape pursed his lips. "Also, you should know that Bellatrix and the whole Lestrange family are a threat."

After today's incident, they will definitely be more active in scratching Jody's sore feet.

"I've got a good idea about that," said Jody.

"...hope your good idea doesn't hurt your life," Snape said gloomily.Just as Jody hadn't asked Dumbledore what she didn't know, Snape had gotten used to not asking about Jody's ideas except those she'd volunteered to share with him.Even when Jody assured him that her brain was always open to him.He couldn't admit that this concession had gradually accumulated a thick layer of darkness in his heart, which made him feel suffocated. "I... go back to Spider's End today."

"I see." Jody didn't hold back Snape, but nodded slightly.It wasn't until Snape disappeared that she curled her lips slightly—maybe she should be happy that Snape didn't think of asking Lily about it at all?

Snape soon knew what a great idea Jody had in mind.

Regarding the fact that the Order of the Phoenix was preparing to fight back, Jody urgently reminded Voldemort, but Voldemort didn't take it to heart. He didn't think the Order of the Phoenix had much power to fight back.According to the original plan, he ordered Rodolphus to lead some Death Eaters to attack a goblin village in Nottingham.Then, very "coincidentally", they met members of the Order of the Phoenix there.

In fact, the goblins are not interested in the battles between wizards, and they don't appreciate the help of the Order of the Phoenix. They just use magic to protect their houses from being hit by the curses of both sides.But for wizards, this is the first direct confrontation between the Order of the Phoenix and the Death Eaters in nearly two years.

James felt his pent-up hatred for the Death Eaters finally find an outlet.In fact, he has never quite understood Dumbledore's plan. The reason why he didn't question it was entirely out of his trust in the old headmaster.In his opinion the Order of the Phoenix should have worked harder to fight the Death Eaters instead of negotiating with those who had no intention of fighting - think poor Remus, he even went north to find the reclusive pack of wolves, so as not to join them Voldemort's side.

James prefers this now: side by side with Sirius, waving his wand, throwing spell after spell, while measuring the situation on the battlefield, and timely assisting comrades who are struggling.

These spells are a little less powerful than the black magic spells used by the Death Eaters, and their mission is not to kill people, which makes them somewhat restrained when using the spells, which puts the Order of the Phoenix at a disadvantage.But fortunately, there are more of them. As the battle began, more and more members of the Order of the Phoenix joined the battle, and among them were Aurors who had experienced combat training like Moody and the Longbottom couple. .

Rodolphus, who was leading the team, was surprised by the ever-increasing numbers and explosive fighting power of the Order of the Phoenix.In contrast, black magic consumes more mana, and they cannot continue to consume it with the Order of the Phoenix.

James felt that every cell in his body was cheering for today's battle, and that hearty feeling made him extremely satisfied and intoxicated.Fighting seemed to be his instinct, but when he saw that figure from behind, James' wand suddenly stopped.Although the figure had changed a lot from two years ago, and he deliberately used his right hand to hold the wand, it was impossible for him to recognize the woman who had lived with him for more than ten years.Even though she wears a black robe and a silver mask like everyone else,

"Jordy!" he yelled out involuntarily. "It's you, right?! I want to talk to you!"

Even in the scuffle, Jody still turned his head because of it, which seemed to be an instinctive reaction.Snape on the side frowned, cautiously protecting Jody who seemed to be in a daze for a moment.His mood had turned sour the moment he saw Lily and James—they hadn't seen each other for two years after the Potters' funeral.

"Shut up!" Fortunately, Jody was not as distraught as Snape feared, and she immediately threw a spell at James.Although he missed, James once again showed an injured expression.

"Avada Kedavra!" The moment James dodged Jody's attack, Rodolphus took the opportunity to cast a spell on Sirius who was showing his flaws. He knew that his wife hated this cousin the most, and he was merciless.

However, that spell happened to collide with another spell, which changed the original trajectory and shot directly at a goblin who was protecting his house not far away.And the death of this goblin made a loophole in the protection of the goblins for the house, causing more spells to hurt them, which obviously aroused their anger.

Rodolphus turned pale—it never occurred to him to kill a goblin.God knows how difficult these little things are, he held down his Dark Mark in fear, maybe he should have done that when he saw more and more members of the Order of the Phoenix here.

Not long after he did so, Voldemort showed up on the battlefield with some Death Eaters.

"It's Voldemort! Let's go!" Alice, who was observing the scene, was the first to notice Voldemort's appearance. Lily immediately chanted a silent, large-scale defensive spell to temporarily block the attacks of the Death Eaters.At this moment, like two female war gods, they reacted quickly and sensitively to create opportunities for their husbands and friends to leave the battlefield.

"Go!" Frank threw an attacking spell at Voldemort fearlessly, attracting his attention, and then took his wife's hand before Voldemort could fight back - while he was attacking, Alice had already begun to say An apparition spell.Before Voldemort could fight back, they were gone.

With the apparition popping all over the battlefield, no one wasted time hesitating, except... James.

"James!" Lily called her husband's name loudly, urging him.

"Jody! I'll figure it out! I'll get an answer one day!" James waved his wand indignantly but reluctantly, and finally Apparated away with Lily.Voldemort's glowing green spell hit a cloud of air just as its target disappeared.Jody bowed his head, relieved.It seemed that, as Dumbledore had said, he would be as prepared as possible when he acted - the Death Eaters hadn't been able to stop them from Apparating.

Snape stared at where James disappeared, silently grinding his teeth behind the mask and cursing at the damned guy.Didn't he see how much trouble his words were going to cause Jody?

"Lucky little bug." Voldemort lowered his arms gloomily.He didn't expect that at the same time as he appeared, those members of the Order of the Phoenix would choose to run away immediately. "I can't believe you didn't have an anti-apparition spell in place in advance?"

"Master, we have already cast a spell, but..." Before Rodolphus Lestrange could finish speaking, Voldemort interrupted him with a "Crushing Cruciatus".

"I don't need an explanation! All I know is that you didn't complete the task I gave you! You even killed a goblin and didn't bring it to me!"

Voldemort's shouts and Rodolphus' screams mixed together, making all the Death Eaters bend over, lower their heads, and even breathe carefully.

Voldemort turned to Jody who was standing aside. "I noticed that the member of the Order of the Phoenix who just escaped is your brother?"

"No, master, he's not my brother." Jody's voice was full of undisguised hatred, "He made a stupid choice, tarnished the reputation of the Potter family, and even married a mudblood."

"Oh, yes." Voldemort smiled happily, "Yes, at least there are people as sane as you in the Potter family. But..." His voice and expression became indifferent again, "Still not enough……"

Jody huddled on the ground in a sudden pang of pain, trying not to let out a scream—she might be thankful that Voldemort hadn't cast the Cruciatus Curse on her.

"Although the Dark Lord likes people who are loyal to him, he doesn't like idiots who can't carry out his orders..." Voldemort looked contemptuously at Rodolphus, who was still tortured by the Cruciatus Curse, "I hope you can remember this , Rodolphus."

"Lucius." After finishing torturing Rodolphs and Jody, Voldemort ordered to Lucius Malfoy, who came with him to support him. "I will leave this matter to you. I hope that I can see what I want as soon as possible, and give it to the person who deserves it in time."

"Yes, my master." Lucius' attitude was very pious, "I will definitely complete the tasks entrusted by the master as soon as possible."

"Go back..." Voldemort's last words made everyone feel amnesty.In this atmosphere, no one noticed that one of the Death Eaters was missing.

That night, when everyone was exhausted, Snape stayed by Jody's bedside with trembling lips, fed her slow-release potions, and cursed James Potter from head to toe.It wasn't until the next day that Jody knew what the real goal of the Order of the Phoenix's operation was.

——Evan Rozier was captured by Aurors in the chaos last night, and his uncle is the current Minister of Magic, who claims to be neutral in this war and is committed to maintaining justice and peace in the magic world Hugh Burst, they have been hiding this relationship from the public, which is obviously very suspicious.

This morning, the "Daily Prophet", which had been intermittently suspended for the past two years, was published.The relationship between Evan Rozier and Hugh Burst, the Death Eaters who were arrested last night, was the front page of the day.
