[HP] Aunt of the Savior

When the footsteps of 1980 finally came to everyone in a tense atmosphere, the struggle within the Ministry of Magic finally came to an end.

Under Voldemort's successive atrocities, the people in the magic world have completely turned into fear and hatred for this dark wizard who once had a great reputation in front of people. Darkest hope.

After Evan Rozier successfully escaped from prison, the Minister of Magic Burst, who was obviously in collusion with Voldemort, was forced to step down.But in the case of Dumbledore's insistence on not wanting to leave Hogwarts, the old witch Millicent Barnold, who was once the Deputy Minister of Magic and a member of the Wizengamot, became the new Minister of Magic.As a woman, Mrs. Barnold seemed a bit weak, but on the issue of fighting Voldemort, the female minister was very firm.At the same time, Mr. Barty Crouch, the director of the Department of Law Enforcement, immediately expressed his position. He suggested that when facing these "evil" and "unforgivable" dark wizards, we should open up more to Aurors. rights, such as allowing the use of the Unforgivable Curse against Death Eaters.His tough attitude won the approval of the vast majority of wizards in the wizarding world almost immediately, and in such chaotic times, such tough tactics are undoubtedly reassuring.

Voldemort didn't seem to think that he lost the support of a Minister of Magic. He continued to spread the greatest terror at his own pace, and his deterrent power was indeed not reduced by half.But many people are still happy that the change of the Minister of Magic is Voldemort's first real failure, and it also means that the magic world has finally reached a superficial unity.

However, in this chaotic era, it is doomed that everything that happens cannot be all good news, especially for Sirius.

For Frank brought news that Regulus Black was dead.

"Are you sure?" James said in disbelief, and at the same time glanced at Sirius, whose face instantly turned iron-gray, and asked the question on his behalf.

Frank looked serious. "Mrs. Black went to the Ministry of Magic at the end of last year and asked the Aurors to go out and find her son Regulus Black, who had gone missing. We didn't pay attention at first. The Black family's support for You-Know-Who is no secret, Scrimgeour Assuming he was just involved with the Death Eaters and left home. It's not uncommon these days, there are always young wizards who run away and join the Death Eaters as if it will help them achieve something great Career, this kind of behavior is even very fashionable in some families that advocate pure blood nobility. Not to mention the attitude of that lady..." He looked at Sirius awkwardly, "Under the circumstances that are not very friendly."

"Then the news of his death is..." James is well aware of the tough style of the current head of the Auror Command, Scrimgeour, and he agrees with Crouch's iron-fisted proposition, and will never spend energy searching for people who may be Death Eaters .

"Mrs. Black said when she came two days ago that she saw on the family tapestry...and saw Regulus' death marked on it."

The three men fell silent in unison.As descendants of a pure-blood family, they all know that it is almost impossible to make mistakes in this magical alchemy product that records family members.

Fleck patted Sirius on the shoulder apologetically and comfortingly.

"Why? How did he die?" Sirius asked hoarsely.He understood Frank's character of roughness and subtlety, and he would never tell himself the news when things were still in a fog.But when he was about to speak, he felt like a ball of cotton was stuck in his throat.

"Kingsley and I went to investigate. He seems to have more or less expressed his unacceptability to some of the mysterious people's recent practices—such as the infernal corpse. Maybe he wants to quit Yes, but..." Frank smiled wryly: "The mysterious person, or his supporters, cannot allow this to happen."

That night, Sirius, who was unusually silent, took James to get drunk, and the two of them were still drunk on the bed the next day and couldn't get up.Seeing the men vent their inner pain in this way, Lily, distressed and angry, decided to let them have a good rest. Today, she went to St. Mungo's for a regular checkup.She made an appointment at St. Mungo's with Alice Longbottom, who was only a week after Lily was diagnosed with pregnancy.

Because she is pregnant, Lily, who cannot Apparate or use Portkeys, must first go to Diagon Alley by the fireplace, and then go to St. Mungo's in the Muggle way.Many witches find this inconvenient when they are pregnant, but for Muggle-born Lily, it is very easy and simple.She skillfully passed the subway gate and walked among the people coming and going.Most people seem to be in a hurry but calmly. In the subway, a middle-aged man smiled and gave up his seat to Lily, and Lily smiled back politely.

Compared with the tense atmosphere of Hogsmeade and Diagon Alley, the Muggle world looks so peaceful, Lily felt a little envious, but she kept vigilant, kept her hand on her wand carefully, and slowly followed the crowd Walk out of the station and walk towards the busiest area in central London. St. Mungo's Hospital for Magic and Magic is built on this street.

But just as Lily walked to the entrance of Taotao Co., Ltd., which is the entrance of St. Mungo's, she suddenly felt the phoenix feather in her pocket used for communication and warning was hot, and then, a silver pig Rushing into the crowd with a funny and cute gesture, a gentle voice shouted eagerly: "Lily, someone has attacked St. Mungo's!"

Lily immediately realized it was Alice's voice.She didn't even have time to use the patron saint to ask Alice about her safety, but she saw the lights representing various spells coming from the transparent window at the entrance of St. Mungo's.Almost instinctively, she threw several improved Muggle repelling spells around - this spell was invented by Lily, it can make Muggles leave the range of the spell in the shortest possible time, preventing them from being attacked by wizards. The battle spread.Apparently this spell was very effective, and the surrounding crowd ran away in a hurry as if they immediately thought of something urgent, and those spells did not affect anyone.

But at this moment, Lily felt someone poke her back with something hard, and her face turned pale immediately.

"Ha, finally there is another fish that slipped through the net, a wizard who helps Muggles? A member of the Order of the Phoenix?" The strange man's shrill voice came from under the mask, sounding full of malice.He poked Lily's back with his wand, "Don't move, turn around slowly... ha... red hair, green eyes, Mrs. Potter..."

Lily pursed her lips tightly. She couldn't apparate or use a portkey, nor could she make violent movements. The current situation was very unfavorable for her.She wasn't surprised that she was recognized by the Death Eaters, after she'd had many serious fights with the Death Eaters - but this was the first time she'd been alone like this.The red-haired witch gently covered her abdomen with one hand, and grabbed the wand with the other. She was thinking nervously about what to do, and was about to cast a spell quickly the moment she turned around.

But just as Lily turned fully and raised her wand, a spell hit her wrist.Lily suddenly felt a sharp pain in her wrist, and the wand had already flown out.

"Oh, Miss Potter, thanks. See who I caught?"

The phrase Miss Potter made Lily's whole body stiff as if under a petrification spell.She now knew who had knocked her wand away with a silent spell from behind - Jody!

The man greeted the person behind Lily warmly, but still held his wand. "I don't think you're going to let her go, do you?"

Jody frowned: "Damn it, hold the wand steady for me, is that what the Dark Lord taught us?! Even if she loses her wand, don't underestimate the spell ability of the woman in front of you , as her former classmate, I must remind you that she is not one of those housewives who are only good at house magic."

"Ha, Miss Potter, I was afraid you would soften your heart..." Seeing Jody pointing his wand at Lily's back, the man obviously relaxed a lot. "But this is of course. If it were me, I would not admit that such a Mudblood would be my relative. It is a wise choice, Miss Potter."

"A servant of the Dark Lord has no relatives of Mudbloods! Look at what you're going through now, Lily." The smile on the corner of Jody's mouth was full of ridicule, and he uttered a cruel sentence: "Does the Order of the Phoenix even send pregnant women to the battlefield? It's really pitiful, this is the doomed tragic fate of the inferior race that shouldn't be able to control power. For the sake of our classmates, I advise you not to act rashly."

Seeing Lily's uncontrollable angry and sad expression, the man smiled even more happily, "I've heard that Miss Potter has a sharp tongue, it's really worse than seeing it." The wand clapped.

"Jodi, you..." Lily held back her tears.When she learned of Regulus' death, she was still worried about Jody's safety.Lily has always believed in her speculation after James fell into Jody's trap, and has hope in Jody's position, and she knows that James is the same.But now Jody can actually say such cruel words in person!

"Avada Kedavra!" But at this moment, a green light shot out over Lily's shoulder, and the very familiar voice of Lily uttered a spell in a tone so calm that it was almost unfamiliar.

Lily watched in surprise as the man in front of him fell backwards slowly as if he was suddenly frozen. The arrogant smile on his face hadn't disappeared yet, and there was obvious complacency and determination in his eyes.But in the next second, he suddenly fell down.The green light shot into his chest, and before he even realized what was happening, he was dead.

But at this moment, Lily was not in the mood to look at this guy again, she immediately understood what happened, turned around impatiently, rushed to Jody and grabbed her arm: "No, don't you just think about it like this phantom!" Apparation ran away - as you can see, I am now pregnant, and you know the dangers that would happen if I were dragged into Apparation by you. I can't believe you don't care if something happens to me!"

Jody, who was threatened by Lily, showed a wry smile, and comforted Lily's hand holding her arm, and her tone became as gentle as before. "No, Lily, I won't run away, I won't leave until I'm sure you're safe, but I'm afraid we don't have much time, I think the Aurors will be here soon."

As she spoke, she waved her wand and threw some spells to place restrictions around to ensure the safety of herself and Lily. By the way, she used the Flying Charm to retrieve Lily's wand.And the corpse that fell on the ground was turned into stones by Jody with the Transfiguration Charm and thrown into the sewer.

"You..." Lily rolled up the sleeve of Jody's left hand with hope, and she showed a surprised expression for a moment because of the flawless whiteness there.

However, Jody showed her his right arm helplessly, and the ugly and evil mark was clearly printed there, which made Lily's voice tremble. "It's not fake, is it?"

"Yes." Jody's voice was still gentle, just like when she was in school.

Perhaps influenced by Jody's calm attitude, Lily's voice gradually calmed down. "You did join the Death Eaters, didn't you?"

"Yes. I think so."

"But you didn't join because you supported Mystery, did you?" When she asked the last question, Lily held Jody's hand tightly, and the knuckles of her fingers turned white from the tension.Tears welled up in her green eyes, and she looked unblinkingly into Jody's dark eyes, which were exactly the same as her husband's.

"...Yes." Jody nodded slightly.She knew that from the moment she saved Lily, it was impossible for her to hide her secret from this clever friend.Even though Lily has not learned Legilimency, she has the power to see certain truths.Maybe that's what Dumbledore used to say, the power of love.

"Oh!" Lily watched Jody's reaction nervously, and when she saw her nodding, Lily almost cheered. "I knew it, I knew it. How happy James will be when he knows it. He will definitely regret his stupidity. He doesn't believe my guess..."

Jody looked helplessly and nostalgicly at Lily who was elated like a child.The current Lily has overlapped with the way she was at Hogwarts back then, her smile is still so bright, without a trace of haze—even though she is no longer the carefree girl who lived in the ivory tower back then .That expression made her almost forget for a moment that she was still shouldering an unimaginable burden.

Realizing that Jody didn't agree with her words, Lily finally regained her composure from the excitement. She looked at Jody carefully and asked tentatively, "...James...I can't tell him, can I?"

Jody didn't answer right away, but Lily got her answer already.

"Jodi, I don't know what to say." Lily hugged Jody tightly again, trying not to let Jody see her tears, "We have been very sad since you threw yourself into Voldemort. After what happened last time, Although James doesn't say it, I know he is very sad, he loves you very much...Can't I really tell him?"

"No, I can't." Jody patted her on the back lightly, "If I had a choice, I actually don't want you to find out the truth. Today's situation is just a coincidence, but I can't just look at you just to keep my secret Killed, you are my brother's wife, I... the mother of my future nephew, if I watch you die, then my secret will be meaningless."

Lily bit her lip, trying not to cry out.She knew Jody's secret, but when did Jody decide to do this?How long has this plan been going on?I'm afraid she has been planning everything for today since they were still in school?Thinking about it now, she always looked so tired when she was in school. I am afraid that the reason is not as simple as studying hard.But at that time, she was just trying to save her good friend who was attracted and addicted to black magic, but she never thought that there were other purposes behind Jody's doing so.

Dumbledore, the old man who led them to fight Voldemort, of course also knew Jody's secret, otherwise he would not have told James and himself that true love will call back the people they value sooner or later, and people only have True strength comes when you fight for the ones you love.

"Lily, don't worry, don't worry about me." Jody could feel that Lily was forcibly controlling her emotions, but that was not what Lily was good at, so Jody had to force Lily to face herself and comfort her. Lily, make her stop crying. "You're a pregnant woman, you shouldn't have such strong mood swings. It's not good for the baby, you know."

"But..." Thinking of the child in her belly, Lily finally managed to control her emotions and wiped the tears from her face, "How could I not worry about you? You have been lying in front of Voldemort all this time, haven't you?

"Don't worry about me, my Occlumency is very good, and Voldemort is too confident and never believes in feelings, he will never think that what I want is not the Potter family, nor more powerful power." Jody's lips There was a wry smile, she was not used to expressing her feelings in a direct way, and now she found that she had to copy what Dumbledore usually said. "Voldemort never understood what love is, let alone that sometimes we will sacrifice willingly for those we love."

"No!" Lily let out a terrified, short scream. "Don't say that word!"

Under the emotional stimulation of the ups and downs just experienced, the pregnant Lily seemed more prone to hysteria than usual.Thinking of the news of Regulus' death that she had heard before, Lily couldn't keep her composure.

Jody patted Lily on the shoulder soothingly, and said softly as if coaxing a child: "Okay, okay, I won't say. Lily, don't worry, don't worry about me, I will be fine. Today's matter, you Make sure you don't tell anyone, I have to go."

"Wait a minute, I have another question...Where is Sif?" Lily suddenly made a weak voice when Jody turned around. She was weak, as if afraid, but also as if eager to be confirmed: "Jodi, Is Nasif like you too?"

Jody couldn't help wrapping her black robe tightly in the cold wind.Without turning around, she whispered in an almost grim tone. "...I...I don't know, Lily. I think it's Severus' secret."

Then, not daring to delay any longer, she immediately Apparated out of there.
