[HP] Aunt of the Savior

This night is probably destined to be a night that many people cannot sleep peacefully.

Dumbledore's grandiose rescue of people undoubtedly made Voldemort very angry.Snape was once worried that Voldemort would doubt why Dumbledore was able to come to save people in time, but from Voldemort's words of cursing Dumbledore for always lingering ghosts, it can be inferred that Voldemort probably encountered more than one person in this place that night. When I arrived at Dumbledore, I thought that Dumbledore's rescue of those guys was entirely a decision made by adapting to the situation when he was chasing Voldemort.

Voldemort took his last captive.The poor guy was so scared that he almost peed his pants, and he was shaking all the time.The members of the Order of the Phoenix undoubtedly pleased the Dark Lord very well by showing such ugly appearances. He didn't even punish Lucius Malfoy who came here without permission, and took his captives to Apparate away.

Such a peaceful ending really made everyone present breathe a sigh of relief.But even so, by the time Snape and Jody finally returned to Spinner's End, it was already very late.

For the second half of this plan, they did not return to Laurel Cottage for the time being.Thinking of what he was going to say later, Jody was suddenly glad they hadn't gone home now.Walking into the living room in Spider's End, she finally stopped trying to hide her exhaustion.He waved his magic wand to light the fireplace, then curled himself into the single sofa by the fireplace, leaning against the back of the sofa to rest.But her expression didn't look relaxed because she went home. On the contrary, she pursed her lips tightly, and the lines on her face looked extremely stiff.

Snape silently sat down on the single sofa opposite Jody, leaned forward slightly, put his hands on his knees, and fixed his dark eyes on Jody's face.You could tell Jody was in a bad mood—maybe it was because of what that damned James Potter said.But he wasn't sure what to say now.

"Severus." Finally, it was Jody who spoke first.But her eyes were fixed on the fire in the fireplace instead of Snape. "Aren't you going to explain something?"

"Explain?" Snape raised his eyebrows, suppressing the surprise and anxiety in his heart.

"Don't you want to explain?" Jody's voice seemed very calm, but the calmness of enduring pain made Snape flinch unconsciously. "Severus, I never thought you would betray me."

He finally couldn't help turning his head away from looking at her expressionless face.He tried to ignore how violently the accusation made his heart beat in his chest, and replied in the same flat, calm tone: "I don't understand what you mean."

"No, you understand." Although he was accusing Snape, Jody's tone didn't seem to be accusing him of a "crime", but just stating the facts. "Do you still want to tell me that you didn't reveal to Lucius where we set the trap?"

Snape didn't answer.

His silence caused Jody to break into a twisted smile. "Look, you can't deny that."

"Lucius did know the location of our plan from me. However, I did not betray you." Snape finally said hoarsely.He had just been stunned by the accusation of betrayal, but that didn't stop him from defending himself.He must not accept this accusation, never!His speaking speed became rapid: "I didn't betray you!"

"You don't think your behavior is considered betrayal?" Jody's tone was full of sarcasm. "Lucius Malfoy has always doubted who I am loyal to. I thought you should know this better than me. But today, you brought him into my plan."

"It's because he has been suspicious of you that I told him about this plan!" Snape retorted fiercely. "Otherwise what are you going to do to convince him that you're all for the Dark Lord and not for Dumbledore? We all know Malfoy's place among the Death Eaters."

For a split second Snape felt he had convinced Jody.Her expression seemed to have softened again at that moment, and the corners of her mouth moved slightly, as if she was about to tilt up slightly to reveal a smile.However, that seemed to be an illusion, and the next second, she returned to her cold expression.

"No, if it was just like this, you wouldn't have concealed Lucius' appearance from me back then, but you reminded me to set up an alarm spell so that I could detect his existence in time when he approached."

Jody finally stopped looking at the flames, and stared straight at Snape.She stood up from the sofa, walked up to Snape, and met his eyes condescendingly. "I'm so stupid, I didn't think of this, I could forget this." Her voice suddenly became soft and illusory. "You hate him, you hate James and Sirius, they always have, never changed."

Her voice became softer and softer, and finally, she was almost on top of Snape, her lips close to his ear. "So you want them dead, don't you?"

Snape felt as if he had been under a petrification spell at that moment, even the simplest ability to move his lips was completely destroyed by this doubt.He couldn't even defend himself the way he had just done, because Jody was damn right.

She knew him so well that she could speak to the dirtiest thoughts in his heart all at once.

Over the years, he never stopped hating those two guys who made him taste the greatest shame in his life, not to mention the existence of James Potter itself was an extremely annoying thing.He hates that his girl always has to take risks for the guy he hates the most, and he hates the feeling that he can't get closer to his girl and can't monopolize the only position in the girl's heart.

So when Voldemort decided to let the Death Eaters attack the members of the Order of the Phoenix separately, and Jody took the initiative to ask the Dark Lord to be responsible for dealing with James Potter and his friends, Snape suddenly thought: If Lucius' Maybe it would be an easy thing to kill those stupid Gryffindors?

"He is my brother, no matter what, he is my only and last relative. Severus, you know why I chose such a path, but you betrayed me." Jody said calmly sentences, each of which still sounds like the harshest accusation.She found herself woefully powerless to yell and lose her temper at Snape, because he was the only one by her side during the loneliest and solitary years of her life.

Perhaps because she spent so much time with Snape, Jody always took everything for granted: Snape's help, Snape's concern, Snape's company... But until today this matter Only then did she realize that she was foolishly blindfolded by sweet love, completely ignoring that the man she liked didn't exactly agree with her ideas, so that it almost caused irreparable consequences.It made her look at Snape with accusation and despair.

The unprecedented look in Jody's eyes made Snape shudder.On the one hand, he felt a faint sense of shame and guilt in his heart, but on the other hand—and a stronger feeling than the former made him unwilling to bow his head and apologize for it.A strange voice screamed in his heart, trying hard to escape from his throat——

Under the temptation of this impulse, Snape raised his hands, held Jody's cheeks, and narrowed his eyes slightly. "Did I betray you by doing this? I admit that I don't care, and I even hope that James Potter and his cronies will die today. Because I just want to keep you safe, and those guys are dead or alive to me It doesn't matter at all. But what about you? What have you been doing to me all this time? Joe, have you ever given me serious consideration during the time we've spent together?"

"..."

He pressed her lips lightly with his thumb, not letting her speak, and spoke to himself. "No, you didn't."

Seeing Jody frown in distress, Snape raised his head and burst into hysterical laughter. "Your clever little mind only thinks about how to protect your lovely brother, how to maintain the balance of trust between the Dark Lord and Dumbledore. You are proud of your perfect tightrope walking game, and you never think about it carefully." Things about me. My ideals, my pursuits, my expectations... Even if we live together, you never pay attention to me. "

He had a weird look on his face, self-deprecating, and his tone was full of anger and unwillingness: "I am like your puppet, always, always forced, passively cooperate with your actions, accompany you in taking risks, and cheat against your will Dark Lord, but have not been informed of all your plans, and have not received more attention from you. You see, like today, I don't even know how you were able to notify Dumbledore in such a timely manner to come to save people— —If my behavior is a betrayal of you, Joe, you must also admit that you don't trust me as much as you say, do you?"

The anger that has been indulged and concealed for a long time is like an erupting volcano bursting out at this time today.Although Snape felt as if he could still express his dissatisfaction coherently, he knew very well that he was completely irrational right now.This made him accuse Jody harshly, but at the same time, he couldn't help but bind her by his side in action.

As a result, when Jody finally freed herself from Snape's loose fingers, she fell into his arms.Snape caught her with a very natural and tacit movement.It's ridiculous that they are so close to each other now, but they feel so far away from each other.She stared at her favorite black eyes, and asked in a low voice: "Do you really think I don't trust you?"

"Do you trust me?"

Snape's rhetorical question made Jody's face pale as if he had lost all blood in an instant.Her lips quivered, and she almost looked like she wanted to slap him.But she didn't do that, but slowly straightened her spine in his embrace.

Seeing Jody's face suddenly pale, Snape, who regretted his words, instinctively wanted to reach out and wrap his arms around her shoulders, just like he did every time before.But the look on her face made him resist the urge, and he let her stand up and out of his arms - although he soon regretted it.

But Jody has returned to her original seat, biting her lip tightly, trying to restrain her emotions. "I still need to wait for news from Regulus and Batty here for the time being. I think you know very well that I haven't kept this matter from you."

This is the second half of Jody's plans for the day, the Order of the Phoenix's plan to fight back after the Death Eaters' attack.Originally, she planned to use that trap to hold James and the others, and then lure Lily to find someone, so that they could all safely avoid this battle, but now the plan has clearly failed, and she can only hope that Regulus Russ and Barty Jr. sent a message after it was all over.

"Yes, of course." Snape, who had begun to regret it, said dryly.

"And . . . maybe you don't think it means anything," Jody said at last. "But from today onwards, I won't have to go to the Order of the Phoenix any more frequently."

Snape watched as Jody closed her eyes and leaned on the sofa motionless after saying this, as if intending to take a short rest, but only slightly trembling eyelashes proved that she was not asleep at all.

After that, neither of them spoke again, and this seemingly peaceful quarrel made the already gloomy Spider's End all the more gloomy, until the first rays of morning light shone into the room.It was the rare visitor to Spinner's End and one of the guests they had been waiting for (although Snape had been reluctant about it)—Barty Crouch Jr. who finally broke the awkward and stiff atmosphere.

Based on the cooperation between Jody and Regulus and Barty Crouch Jr.'s constant infatuation with Jody, it's easy for Jody to get information through them.For Crouch, being able to see Jody's current residence was enough for him to willingly give Jody the news he knew.

Crouch sat down on the most decent armchair in the living room, and looked excitedly at the not-so-gorgeous, or even a bit shabby, living room in Spider's End.Although Snape had renovated the place after graduation, because they usually lived in Laurel Cottage, it still looked very desolate and desolate, but the shabby atmosphere was somewhat relieved by the full collection of books all around.

After observing the conditions of the rooms in the entire Spider's End, Crouch immediately looked at the owner of the house with a dissatisfied look, as if he felt that it was really inappropriate for Jody to live with Snape. "Regulus still needs to help with the aftermath, so I'm the only one who came first."

"Help with the aftermath?" Jody deliberately pretended to be nonchalant and ignorant. "What happened?"

"People from the Order of the Phoenix came to rescue people last night. I have to say that the action of these guys is amazing. None of us thought that they would launch a counterattack so quickly. Almost all the prisoners captured by everyone last night were killed." They rescued them, including the little guy you caught, what's his name... there were only a few badly injured guys who died in the dungeon before they came to save them. They were lucky enough to get the help from the master I escaped from the forbidden curse..." Crouch was talking ramblingly. "However, speaking of it, the Order of the Phoenix paid a heavy price. Many of them were injured, and a woman even passed out during the retreat."

Having said that, Crouch suddenly paused, showing a mysterious expression.

"A woman passed out?" Jody suddenly had an ominous premonition in his heart, and Snape, who was silently listening to their conversation, clenched his fists for Crouch's attention.

"Yes." There was a strange expression on Crouch's pale face, "You must be familiar with this person, she is the Mudblood who married James Potter."

"Hmph...the end of overreaching." Jody snorted coldly, as if dismissing the news.

Crouch stared at Jody's haughty expression almost obsessively, and laughed in unison, but he didn't notice the uneasiness hidden in those once slightly lowered eyes.

Hell, how could that damned Potter allow Lily to participate in such a dangerous operation?What on earth happened?Snape also frowned.

In fact, James is also annoyed that he agreed to Lily's participation in the action.As soon as he got home, he rushed to find Madam Pomfrey from Hogwarts, and kept circling anxiously while she was examining Lily.

"Oh, James, you don't have to be nervous." Madam Pomfrey smiled looking at the nervous James. "Lily was not hurt, she passed out because she was pregnant."

"Pregnant?!" James' anxious and worried face immediately turned into joy. "Really?! When did it... ah... I mean..."

He scratched his black hair excitedly, "Oh, Merlin, I don't know what I want to say, but Madam Pomfrey, you know, this is really great... But why did she pass out?"

"Yes, I can understand your feelings, take it easy, future father." Madam Pomfrey calmed down the nervousness of this young man who just learned that he was going to be a father. "Lily is less than a month pregnant. The initial stage of the witch's pregnancy is a relatively heavy burden on the body. In addition, she just participated in a battle, and she will pass out after consuming too much magic power. Lily's body is very healthy, as long as she takes a rest never mind."

As she said that, she showed a smile from the bottom of her heart. After hearing so many sad news of death, the coming of a new life is exciting news for everyone, isn't it?
