[HP] Aunt of the Savior

Chapter 11 Friendship

Of course Jody was angry.

It wasn't the first time Severus Snape had pushed her away so unceremoniously, refusing her friendship.This was unprecedented in her life.She was always pleasant, though she tried not to be proud of it, but she was used to it.

She really wanted to protest to Snape, that he was too ignorant of good and evil, that her unconscious attention to him had caused her some annoyance... But just before she said those words, she thought of that again. The evaluation given by the top hat: ambition full of control.

The Potter twins seem to be the common darlings of everyone in their circle, but James and Jody are popular for very different reasons.Compared with James, who was mischievous and reckless when he was young, but always won everyone's attention and love, Jody has been working hard to make herself better in exchange for people praising her and being happy to be around her.She is used to the friendship gained after such hard work, and she takes it for granted, but does this just prove that the Sorting Hat is correct?A little girl full of manipulative ambitions?

Once he realized this, Jody found that he couldn't justly blame Snape for ignoring his good intentions one after another.

"You don't want to go to the Slug Club either?" When Jody suddenly fell silent, Snape finally searched for a relatively suitable sentence.

"No, that name sounds really silly." Jody raised her eyebrows in disgust—it was rare for her to express emotions so directly—but for girls, slugs really weren't something that could They appreciate existence. "Also, I hope Professor Slughorn's reason for inviting me was really because I noticed you, not because he knew my parents."

At the end, the girl subconsciously looked away slightly.She didn't show a gloomy look, but Snape understood what she cared about at this moment.At the same time, some of the things he found weird also came up with good answers.Her troubled subtle look when she faced Doris Knott's questioning, the invitation that Professor McGonagall sent her before the class started, and the special enthusiasm that Malfoy prefect and his fiancée had for her ...

Unlike her mixed-race self, the girl in front of her may not only be pure-blooded, but also very likely have an extraordinary family background.In this way, there was a reasonable explanation for her twin brother's arrogant appearance: the heir of a pure-blood family is of course qualified to be so arrogant, not to mention that he is still a headless Gryffindor.

Compared to showing off and arrogance in front of others, Snape appreciated Jody's low-key and reticence, and he felt that he would do the same.So he unconsciously treated Jody a lot more in his own way.

He agreed with Jody because he couldn't appreciate the naming of Professor Slughorn's club either.That just made him think of some kind of potion ingredient.At the same time, he expressed dissatisfaction with Slughorn, as a potion professor, who compared brewing potions with making candies. "The taste of the potion is not the point, but the effect. This is completely different from the candy made for the purpose of eating."

"I think if the effect of the potion is good enough and you only need to drink a small amount to work, then the taste of the potion is not the point." Jody thought of the refreshing potion for colds, which was the only one she had ever drank. The potion is not good, but it will be effective soon after drinking a little, and it can be tolerated: "Anyway, people don't drink potion to use it as a drink, do they?"

When Snape got serious about talking to Jody, he found it easy to talk to her.This girl is good at paying attention to the details of each other's conversations and responding appropriately to them, and, in terms of magic, they can easily find some topics of common interest, although the views are not completely consistent.

Compared with Lily, Jody, who was born in a pure-blood family, of course no longer needs Snape to explain the common sense of magic, but can put forward different views with him tit for tat.She had mastered some relatively systematic theoretical knowledge, but Snape's thinking was more unconstrained.It was a lot of fun for her and also aroused her sense of competition.Of course Snape was the same, so in this empty room located in the underground passage, they continued their discussion, secretly competing, trying to prove to each other that they were the one who knew better.

So when they, who were enjoying it, finally remembered that they would have Charms class in the afternoon, it was too late for them to get to the classroom on time—it was obviously not that difficult to get to the Charms class classroom on the fourth floor through the constantly changing and moving stairs from the ground floor. It can be done in minutes, especially for two freshmen who have just entered the school.

In the afternoon, Slytherin took the Charms class with Hufflepuff, and the teacher was Professor Flitwick, the dean of Ravenclaw.He was a small wizard who was said to be of goblin blood, and he stood on top of a stack of books in class.

As a result, Hufflepuff's Bunian Exmo accidentally pulled out a book from Professor Flitwick's feet while practicing the Levitation Charm, causing him to fall off the pile of books, and Jody And that's when Snape rushed into the classroom.

Compared to Potions class, which required concentration and quietness, Charms class seemed very lively. Everyone was laughing and waving their wands to do movement exercises. From time to time, some people would cause a little trouble due to out-of-control magic power, but Professor Flitwick could always stop it in time. The situation further expanded.If there was no small accident that he fell off the pile of books at the beginning, everyone would admire the miniature head of Ravenclaw even more.

Jody and Snape were paired up to practice the Levitation Charm because they were late.Because of Hogwarts' ever-changing staircases and passages, Professor Flitwick was tolerant of the lateness of the new students and didn't blame them.And then he had to add twenty points to Slytherin - because at the same time, two students in Slytherin completed the Levitation spell the fastest and most perfectly, and they completed the action in a shorter time than other students Practice and really use this magic successfully.

After accidentally gaining the limelight again, Snape's face became even more gloomy.But this time he didn't blame Jody. After they realized that they were going to be late for the first spell class, they rushed into the classroom together, and when they practiced the levitating spell in groups, they still maintained the same kind of unyielding competition just now. consciousness.The mood of not being able to lose to the other party prevailed, making Snape completely forget the low-key code he had set for himself before——for him, this spell was too easy.

"It's nothing to be good once in a while." When class was over, Jody left the classroom with Doris who came to her.Before leaving, she said this to Snape meaningfully.Doris giggled aside, probably misunderstood what Jody meant.

Seeing the giggling Doris leaving with Jody on her arm, Snape showed a strange expression that could barely be called a smile on Snape's gloomy face.Yes, once in a while, what's the big deal?He walked briskly towards the library, not sure whether his good mood was because of Jody's words just now, or because the person he was going to meet next was Lily.

Probably the four founders of Hogwarts wanted students to learn actively, so the library is the best place to find in the entire Hogwarts castle.The library was on the fourth floor like the Charms classroom, and Snape waited at the library door for a while before seeing Lily Evans running out of breath after herbalism class.

"I'm sorry, Severus, I'm late." The little red-haired girl happily ran up to Snape with her textbook in her arms, her cheeks were flushed after exercise, she looked extremely cute. "The herb class is in the greenhouse, it's a bit far from here."

"Never mind." Snape licked his lips. "Then let's go in. There are a lot of books to read in the Hogwarts library. We have to finish our homework as soon as possible before we have time to read."

Lily looked around Snape for a while, showing a somewhat disappointed expression. "Severus, didn't you invite Miss Potter to come with you?"

"Oh, no." Snape looked at Lily in surprise, not expecting her to ask about Jody. "You want me to invite her?"

Lily shrugged, "I want to return the handkerchief she lent me on the train, and she is very kind, I want to make friends with her, just like you. Forget it, anyway, tomorrow's transfiguration class is with you guys." I went together, I will give it back to her at that time."

"Like us..." Snape frowned in confusion. "No, actually..."

He wanted to deny Lily's statement, because he and Jody had only known each other for less than two days, but he vaguely felt that it was wrong.However, Lily is very used to the clumsiness of Snape, she tilted her head and joked mischievously with her friend: "Severus, you won't put our friendship aside just because you made a new friend, will you?" ?”

"Of course not, in fact..." Snape sighed, and gave Lily a rough account of his brief encounter with Jody. "I mean, we've only just met, not really friends..."

Lily looked at Snape with incredulous eyes: "Oh, Severus, you have started calling each other Christian names, of course you are friends, I don't understand why you doubt this. I think if Miss Potter knows you If you think so, she will be angry."

—Very well, she was already angry.

Snape recalled Jody's reaction before, and came to a conclusion in his mind.He felt that Lily had solved a question for him, and he finally understood why the girl was angry just now.But not everyone will think like Lily, at least the Slytherin students will not think they are friends, especially after Jody said that in front of Doris just now... …

Oh hell!Snape frowned suddenly.He understood now the double meaning of what Jody said just now.Doris Knott's smile at that time was not entirely a misunderstanding, Jody said that on purpose in front of Doris, and she was retaliating for his coldness and faux pas!
