[HP] Aunt of the Savior

Chapter 110 Position and Choice

"Lily, how do you feel?" After knowing that Lily was pregnant, James has been in a sense of happiness like falling into a cloud.He sat down by the bed and looked at his wife with tenderness and concern.

"I'm fine. But to be honest, I'm still angry with what you did yesterday, James." The joy of being a new mother made Lily's smile more beautiful and soft than usual, but now she deliberately serious staring at her husband.

From last night until now, they have been so busy that they have no time to discuss the mistake James made.But now, they have successfully rescued Peter and others, and finally have time to be alone.Therefore, Lily decided to talk about this issue immediately. She felt that the teachings her mother gave her when she got married were very correct. The problems between husband and wife should be resolved in time. It is not a good idea to delay and cover up.

—Even if bringing up this topic might make James feel very sad, Lily thought apologetically.

"Oh, don't be angry, Lily." Mentioning this, James was at a loss in front of Lily like a child. "I know it's my fault. It's me..." He bit his lower lip in pain. "I was too stupid to believe that Jody was loyal to the Order of the Phoenix, and almost killed Wormtail."

"Oh, no, James." Lily put her hand on James's and said softly, "I'm angry not because I think your actions yesterday were stupid, but because your actions were too reckless. You only Thinking about seeing Jody no matter what, she didn’t even plan how to escape in case of danger, did she? As for Jody’s… method,” she cautiously avoided using betrayal or deception Similar words so as not to make James more sad. "Maybe I'm being too optimistic, but I still think it's a bit weird. If you really realize that you were wrong before, maybe you can tell me about it?"

When James was about to object, Lily stroked his lower abdomen with one hand and grabbed his hand with the other, and said with a gentle but firm expression, "What happened at the time? I know you don't want to recall this, but... I think we need Think about it calmly, I need to hear you talk about the details at that time."

Seeing Lily's hand stroking his lower abdomen, James, who originally wanted to keep silent about this matter, was obviously shaken.Didn't Madam Pomfrey just say that she should try her best to follow the pregnant woman's wishes and meet her demands?

Seeing James' expression, Lily stuck out her tongue playfully.But this matter is indeed suspicious.James didn't know that Lily had watched Voldemort lead the Death Eaters to kill Dorcas Meadows in front of Dumbledore before disappearing. If Dumbledore planned to pursue Voldemort at that time, He shouldn't have lingered for a while in pursuit, helping them repel the Death Eater attack before leaving.So how did he find James and the others and rescue them in time?

Moreover, the wand is also a big doubt.Based on Lily's understanding of her two friends, Jody and Snape, who have always been careful, would never forget to hand over the wands of the robbers as soon as they captured the captive.This is the point that Lily realized when they rescued people before - all the wizards who were captured this time lost their wands unfortunately, but James, Sirius and Lupine did not encounter this situation.

"... Lily, Jody and... that Snape has completely chosen Voldemort's side. I don't want you to relive this feeling of anger and disappointment with me. You should be happy now." When asked about this matter, James couldn't help but took a deep breath to suppress the irritability in his heart and speak as calmly as possible. "I don't think we need to discuss this anymore."

However, Lily, who has always been gentle and considerate, was unexpectedly very persistent. "I want to know the details, I think there are a lot of things that are out of the ordinary."

"Okay." James, accommodating Lily, finally repeated the scene angrily, and even repeated Jody's original words under Lily's questioning.He was surprised to find that he could remember every detail of that scene so clearly, even Jody's expression when he said those words. "That's the way it is."

"James," after hearing all the details of the matter, Lily's green eyes were radiant and extremely bright. "Maybe your idea is really right!"

"Yeah, she did betray the Order of the Phoenix," James said sullenly, not even wanting to repeat Jody's name.

"No," Lily shook her head, "I'm talking about your original thought. Jody may really be on the side of the Order of the Phoenix! What happened yesterday may be a plan she and Dumbledore made, otherwise how could Dumbledore Will it rescue you so smoothly?"

Lily recounted the doubts she had just thought of, and the more she said, the more excited she became. "And, remember what Jody said? She said she 'wasn't lying before,' which means she was lying when she said it after that!"

James frowned, but he quickly showed his usual cheerful smile, but that smile was a little more stable than before. "Maybe you're right. But Sirius said that Dumbledore had hinted that someone had sent him a warning. He thought that person was probably Regulus, so Dumbledore gave him this hint on purpose. "

He admitted that Lily's analysis sounded convincing, which made him feel much better.But now he really couldn't believe in this kind of thinking with all his heart - perhaps he would not dare to look forward to this best ending until one day when Voldemort died and everything was over.

Lily, who understood James' thoughts very well, sighed.And now she can't stick to her statement anymore, just like they hope that Jody and Snape don't fall, Sirius must also hope that Regulus still cares about his brother in his heart!

In fact, Sirius was right about this matter. It was indeed Regulus Black who informed Dumbledore to save people that day.Lucius Malfoy wasn't the only one who quietly hid and watched all this that night.The only difference is that Lucius learned about the trap from Snape, while Regulus has maintained a cooperative relationship with Jody since the beginning of school.

When Regulus finally saw Jody at 12 Grimmauld Place, it was already a few days after the Order of the Phoenix rescued all the hostages.This time, Regulus set the meeting place at the safest place he could find - Black's house at 12 Grimmauld Place.

Jody came to No. 12, Grimmauld Place for the first time. It was well hidden and protected by various complex spells, and the fireplace was not connected to the Floo network. No wizard could enter without the company of members of the Black family. , and a considerable part of the use of defensive spells has been adjusted very small and subtle to achieve the best results.Even if it is the same spell, changes in the details may achieve different effects. In order to protect the Laurel Cottage, Jody has also conducted quite in-depth research on this. The house of the Black family has given her a very strong research* *, but it's a pity that now is obviously not the time.

"It's just me and my mother living in this house now, so I think it's safer here. After my father died, Uncle Signus moved out - watch out for that troll-legged umbrella stand." Regu Les carefully led Jody through the seemingly lifeless hallway of Black's house, reminding her softly.That umbrella stand had been bewitched by a strange spell by an unknown generation of the Black family: anyone who didn't pay special attention to it would trip over it.

Then they passed a wall with the heads of house-elfs hanging on them.Even though Jody thought she was cruel and cruel enough, seeing such a scene still made her instinctively uncomfortable.

Perhaps guessing Jody's feelings, Regulus who led the way seemed to chuckle. "I'm sorry to show you such a special...decoration."

Even after hanging out with Death Eaters for a long time, it is undeniable that Jody has never seen a house more like the residence of the Dark wizard than here, and this house has a distinctive Slytherin feature: Jody found that all the decorations he saw had snakes in them.

Regulus led Jody into a very ornately furnished living room. There was a large window facing the street, and a large tapestry embroidered with the Blake family tree was hung on one of the walls.When he walked into the living room, Regulus seemed to instinctively glance there - next to his name was a burnt hole.

Jody knew that was where Sirius' name should have been.After seeing this house, she felt that she could fully understand why the man chose to run away from home when he was a teenager.

Although it was in his own home, Regulus still cast several spells to prevent wiretapping, and especially emphasized: "Kreacher, please help me prepare tea and coffee, and don't let anyone, including my mother, hear Our conversation. It's important to me."

"Yes, Master Regulus!" Accompanied by the coffee and refreshments that suddenly appeared on the coffee table, a house-elf who no longer looked young appeared, with a gray and ugly face and a black family tattoo on his body. tea towel adorned with chapters, and whispered in a bullfrog voice. "Kreacher will definitely ensure that you and your distinguished and beautiful guests have a quiet conversation environment!"

Jody subconsciously showed a faint smile when he saw this elf.The way it looked at Regulus was full of emotion, and it made her unconsciously recall the first time she went to the kitchen with Snape and saw the house-elf.

"Jordy?" Regulus glanced at Jody, who was suddenly distracted, "Are you interested in house-elves?"

"Oh, I just envy you for having a good servant." Jody withdrew her thoughts and said with a smile. "Well, I guess we're not here to discuss house-elves."

"Well, then let's talk about the topics we should discuss—" Regulus took a deep breath, with a reproachful expression on his face. "The situation that day was different from what we had agreed on."

"Yes, Lucius' appearance was an accident." Jody said bluntly.She actually hated to mention it, it would no doubt remind her of Snape's betrayal.After Crouch left that day, she returned to Laurel Cottage, and has never seen Snape again. "I'm sorry about that."

"Why did you notify the Dark Lord so early? Just because of Lucius? If Dumbledore hadn't come at that time...they would have died!" Regulus was obviously dissatisfied with Jody's attitude, and he raised his voice. He raised his voice, "Do you really want them to be... killed by the Dark Lord? I always thought you and I thought the same, even if our brothers stupidly lack the vision of the future of wizards and the pride of their own blood , they are still our blood-linked brothers."

Jody narrowed his eyes: "If I really want them to be killed by the Dark Lord, I don't need to prepare such a trap with you to prevent them from being involved in the battle that day. Moreover, prepare a person who is harmful to the Dark Lord." The hidden magic circle is also not that simple—otherwise, the Dark Lord would not have noticed you were there from the beginning to the end. I think I have provided the greatest help for your great idea of ​​protecting your brother, and the appearance of Lucius does not It shouldn't be a reason for me to be blamed."

The trap Jody had prepared for the hijackers was very special. It could completely isolate the magical atmosphere, so that when Voldemort appeared, he wouldn't even notice that Regulus was hiding not far away.But as the wizard who arranged the magic circle, Jody could easily find Lucius Malfoy.

"As for why I informed the Dark Lord in advance." Jody said frankly, "It's because Lucius has always doubted which side I am loyal to. I think you can understand, just like you don't want to be suspected by the Dark Lord. I don't want this to happen as much as I asked for my help. The Dark Lord will never tolerate any betrayal."

"Yes, the Dark Lord will never allow betrayal..." Regulus showed a thoughtful expression, repeated it softly, and then looked at Jody with a scrutiny attitude: "Jody, you really don't want Po Mr. Te died?"

"Of course, I want to thank you for that, Regulus," Jody said to Regulus, without even realizing how relieved and sincere it was. "If you hadn't notified Dumbledore with the phoenix feather in time, I can't imagine how things would have turned out."

Regulus suddenly raised his head and glanced at Jody, as if he wanted to say something but didn't know how to say it.Just when Jody was about to ask, he seemed to have returned to his usual look: his expression was cold, but he was no longer flustered and shy as before.

"You gave me the phoenix feather to let me inform Dumbledore at the right time. This is my task, isn't it?"

"But you're doing well."

"I think Lucius won't suspect you this time." Regulus said, "But this way, you won't be able to continue to work as a spy in the Order of the Phoenix."

"Oh, that might be a good thing for me." Jody shrugged indifferently.She tried to hide the pain in her heart in such an exaggerated way.She didn't have to go to the Order as often, but the one who didn't want her to do so in the first place didn't understand her at all.

"Maybe. But obviously the Dark Lord still needs to put a spy beside Dumbledore. As far as I know, he seems to intend to let Batty replace your work." Regulus couldn't deny Jody's statement, he Picking up the coffee, he took a sip. "Barty told me two days ago that the Dark Lord gave him a very important task. Batty is going to Hogwarts to keep an eye on Dumbledore. Ideally, he can join the Order of the Phoenix."

"Maybe it suits him very well." Jody smiled. "Mr. Crouch works in the Ministry of Magic and did not choose to side with the Dark Lord. Barty should be able to gain Dumbledore's trust."

—if Dumbledore hadn't known that Barty Crouch had become a Death Eater.

"He is also full of confidence." Regulus said unhurriedly. "So I think the matter you've been worried about before, maybe after he successfully completed the task assigned by the Dark Lord, he will bring it up. You know very well that in the past two years, his mind has never changed."
