[HP] Aunt of the Savior

Snape felt as if a lead had been stuffed in his throat, and he almost lost the ability to speak. "Is...is this possible? I mean, can a living person be made into a Horcrux? We have been researching Horcruxes for so long over the past few years..."

"Just like when we found out my parents had used the Fertility Potion," Jody said softly, with a hint of despair in his tone. "I hope that's not possible, but today, I think my suspicions are almost confirmed."

Snape clenched and loosened his fists: "So... since when did you suspect that Harry was a Horcrux?"

Jody took a deep breath. "From the night Harry narrowly escaped."

Feeling the fear in Jody's gaze just now, Snape thought he could calmly accept Jody's concealment.But when he heard this sentence, he couldn't help but snorted heavily, even though he could fully understand Jody's mood when he didn't want to make such a guess. "Should I applaud and applaud your sharpness?"

"Actually, if you had held Harry in your arms, you would have been suspicious too." Jody slowly sat down on the chair, ignoring Snape's sarcasm. "We have all been in contact with Horcruxes and are familiar with that strange magical breath... At that time, I originally wanted to help Harry heal that lightning-shaped scar. I didn't want him to still have a scar on his forehead after experiencing such a thing. Such an obvious sign. The conspicuousness does him no good. However, I sense a very familiar magical smell in that scar... I... I'm not sure if it's just a remnant of the dark arts, still……"

Snape put his hand on Jody's shoulder without saying a word, and he remembered the strange feeling that flashed through him when he massaged Harry's forehead.He used to think it was just an illusion that he didn't want to spoil Harry Potter so much, but...

"I know that my ability to deal with Horcruxes is too limited. But I can't ask Dumbledore the answer to this question. It is so difficult to destroy Horcruxes, but it is too easy to kill little Harry... ..." She put her arms around her shoulders, overlapping Snape's, "I'm not lying to you, I do want to save James' and Lily's lives, there's hope. But, Harry also had to live. I left England because of Voldemort, and because of Harry. I feared that if I couldn't resist visiting Harry secretly, and finally confirmed my terrible suspicion prematurely, it would give Harry Bring the disaster of extinction."

"But you came back years ago, and you stayed."

"Yes, I can't stand Harry living like that, and I can't bear you torturing yourself like that." Jody mustered up the courage to turn his head and meet Snape's eyes again, "Severus, I'm sorry."

"Thank you, Merlin, for not forgetting to care about me." Snape's tone was a little sour every time he saw Jody giving too much attention to Harry.

But this time, his words made Jody feel warm and soft in her heart. She could see the emotion in the black eyes of the man she loved so much. It was not dissatisfaction or complaint, but tension and worry. and uneasy.No matter how harsh his words were, his dark eyes could never hide those beautiful and hot emotions in front of her.

"I came back desperately. But after living with Harry, I became more and more uneasy." Jody felt the power in those eyes, which made her feel that she could and should hide these things in the dark. The deepest secrets are shared with this man. "I found that Harry's magic power is stronger and more stable than that of ordinary little wizards. Moreover, I also found that Harry...is a Parseltongue."

The word Parseltongue made Snape raise his eyebrows. Everyone knew that Voldemort was a Parseltongue: "...So, this is the basis for your bet with me? Do you think he will be sorted into Slytherin? "

Snape hadn't taken the bet they made when Harry was sorted and Jody's joking sophistry at first, but now that he was talking about it, he understood why she was so happy after Harry's sorting.For Jody, Harry's entry into Gryffindor could not have been better.

"I once thought that Harry's entry into Gryffindor would prove my guess wrong." Jody's tone was full of self-mockery: "But it didn't turn out that way. Harry seemed to be controlled by the Imperius Curse Into the Forbidden Forest, and met Voldemort. We all heard his account, remember what Harry said before he fell asleep? He saw what he wasn't supposed to see, the green light in the cellar corridor... Severer As we all know, only real Slytherins can see this. Harry is a Gryffindor, even if he has the characteristics of both houses, but after he enters Gryffindor, Slytherin's privilege The door will not be opened to him again, unless he has... the Slytherin heritage..."

"...the descendant of Slytherin, the soul of the Dark Lord..." Snape whispered with the corners of his mouth twisted.He had also wondered about this, but it never occurred to him that the answer might be that Harry Potter had the Dark Lord's soul fragment in his body.

"I know that Dumbledore may have always hoped that Harry could face Voldemort. He may think that this kind of risky exercise is necessary for Harry." Jody said, "I also wondered whether Dumbledore also knew, The thing about Harry being a Horcrux - I never dared to confirm it with him, but after what happened in the Forbidden Forest, I realized I had to test it. I'm going to risk seeing what happens to Harry when he meets Voldemort Case."

She glanced at Snape, her voice slow, sad and heavy. "One thing, I didn't mention it to Dumbledore. When Voldemort fled, he originally wanted to possess Harry who was unconscious. He could escape more easily and kill Harry. But just as he was already trying to do that, he suddenly ran out of Harry's body again. He didn't succeed! Severus, remember what we've read about Horcruxes? "

"Yes, 'two soul fragments cannot be stored in the same Horcrux'..." At this moment, Snape understood everything.

They never knew how many Horcruxes Voldemort had, but there is no doubt that the Horcruxes must be destroyed, otherwise Voldemort would not die.Harry's fate was almost sealed when he got that scar on his forehead.

"Over the years, I have always doted on Harry as much as I could..." Jody said with blank eyes, "I hope he can live a carefree life and be as happy as other children, because I am afraid …I'm afraid of this outcome. Just like when we found out my parents used the birth potion, I'm afraid it will repeat itself: I can't do anything, and I end up watching my loved ones die .And, in order to verify this terrible result, I actually caused Harry to suffer such a serious injury, in case he never wakes up..."

"We must find a way to destroy the soul slice in Harry and let him live. We are no longer the children we used to be. Now we are strong enough, and we will never be as powerless as before." Snape's tone Sure, it sounds so reassuring. "And, don't forget, Harry Potter's good, scary good luck, and he'll be all right."

As Snape said, Harry Potter was lucky indeed.After being in a coma for three days, he woke up without any serious and irreversible sequelae, but still had some headaches.

Snape and Jody came to visit Harry quietly every day, but they left it to Dumbledore to explain the fate of the Philosopher's Stone-the real one had already been destroyed by Nico Flamel, and the fake one The block... was now in Snape's hands.Perhaps this would come in handy someday in gaining Voldemort's trust.

When Harry was hospitalized, stories about their adventures in the restricted area on the fourth floor had spread more and more outrageously in Hogwarts. Fortunately, the arrival of the final exam allowed the little wizards' exuberant curiosity to get a little bit under control.But in their eyes, Harry obviously had another admirable achievement.

Hermione, Ron and Neville who participated in this operation were also very proud.But when they heard that Harry had met Voldemort, they immediately put this pride and pride behind them.

"Harry," Ron said solemnly, ignoring Malfoy on the hospital bed beside him so calmly. "I think that even if something like this happens next time, you shouldn't be so impulsive to take risks."

Hermione couldn't help rolling her eyes, "Ron Weasley, don't you think you should pray for Harry, that he'd better never meet a mysterious man again in his life?"

"But I think what Ron said makes sense," Harry said seriously, "I have a hunch that I will meet Voldemort again."

Harry winked suddenly at his friends and flashed a sly grin.

The Gryffindors resisted the urge to laugh, and secretly watched Draco Malfoy, who was lying on the bed opposite Harry, shiver when he heard the name Voldemort, and then pulled the quilt over his head angrily.

The news of Harry's increasing popularity undoubtedly made Draco very angry.And the fact that he was cast with the Imperius Curse made him feel unprecedented fear.Never in his life had he felt so helpless.

Under the influence of this emotion, Draco and Harry spent a very rare time together in peace.

Unfortunately, Harry missed his final exams because he couldn't be discharged from the hospital, and had to take a separate make-up exam with Draco in the hospital.This made him regretfully lose the chance to compete with Hermione for the first place in the grade.Fortunately, Harry learned that his make-up test score was better than Draco's.

Of course, Draco didn't think this was good news.

Another regret for Harry is that he was banned from participating in the Quidditch match against Ravenclaw because of his physical condition.The Gryffindor team without a Seeker naturally lost the game, making the Quidditch Cup fall into the hands of the Slytherins again, which slightly made up for the regret that the Slytherins lost half of the House Cup at the end of the semester .

— but this is nothing surprising, after all, Gryffindors have Harry Potter who survived this year.

In fact, Dumbledore's unexpected addition of thirty points to Draco for his brave confrontation with the Dark wizard was more rewarding than Harry and his friends' adventure helping Gryffindor win the house cup. Surprised the Slytherins!
