[HP] Aunt of the Savior

"Dumbledore, I think you need to explain the letter you wrote to me." Snape strode into Dumbledore's office, his black robe fluttering with his steps.

"Oh, I thought what I wrote was very clear." Dumbledore looked up at the wall clock on the office wall. It had been less than an hour since Fox delivered the letter. He was almost sure that Snape was receiving the letter. After receiving my letter, I rushed to my office immediately.He pointed to the chair in front of him, "Severus, sit down and say, would you like a cup of tea?"

"No, thank you... Dumbledore, I know there are very few people willing to apply for the position of Defense Against the Dark Arts these days, but Remus Lupine is a werewolf, how can you!"

"Severus," Dumbledore remained calm in the face of Snape's accusation. "Remus is indeed a werewolf, but as I told you in my letter, I don't think he will have any problem teaching at Hogwarts."

"Just because he used to go to school for seven years without telling the whole school, so now you want to repeat the trick and let him work here?" Snape glared at Dumbledore: "Dumbledore, Remus Lupine was an underage wizard, but now he's a grown wizard, and a... grown werewolf, and there aren't that many students in the school who've mastered Animagus transformations and are ready to deal with werewolves. He very dangerous."

At the end, Snape viciously emphasized the word werewolf.

"But you can help him, Severus, and you know you can, and so do I," said Dumbledore calmly, his blue eyes gleaming behind his glasses. "Or, is there any reason why you don't want to help him?"

Snape's body stiffened involuntarily, he pursed his lips tightly, and his heart skipped a beat.For a moment, he almost thought he was being read by Dumbledore.He was well aware that Dumbledore was as good at the spell as Voldemort.

"You know I hate those Gryffindors," he finally replied dryly. "We had a bad relationship when we were in school."

"Yes, Severus, I know that." Dumbledore nodded, "But it seems that you know more about them than I thought."

Snape snorted coldly.Yes, he had suspected that Remus Lupine was a werewolf many years ago, when he was a student - just look at the timing of his sickness!Those Gryffindors never had time to bother him in those days, which was enough for him to discover the secret.

However, he never told Jody about it, and he didn't want Jody to continue to remember her brother's friendship situation after he had already "fallen out" with James.Remember Sirius Black back then even tempted him to dig for the truth.But he didn't do this. The curiosity when he met the Dark Lord had already brought him a lot of trouble. Now that he had won the heart of the girl he liked, he couldn't give James Potter and his friends What interest did he have in ignoring Sirius' obvious trap when it came to overtly obvious revenge?

"I thought Jody would come to me with you to protest." When Snape was a little distracted by the past, Dumbledore had already changed the subject in a relaxed tone.

"She's off to fetch Harry." Snape raised his eyebrows sarcastically. "She's worried that her precious nephew has turned into a werewolf just as we went to find the Dark Lord and his Horcrux. Even if you It takes a good Defense Against the Dark Arts professor, and no need to find another living example for students."

Snape's words made the old wizard look a little helpless.The head of Slytherin's snarky sense of humor was obviously difficult to respond to.

"Then, let me explain why I want Remus to teach at Hogwarts." Dumbledore gestured to Snape to stay calm and listen to him. "First of all, Remus didn't come to teach Defense Against the Dark Arts."

Seeing the astonishment in Snape's eyes, Dumbledore blinked happily. "I have invited Gilderoy for this position."

"Gidero..." This name has appeared so frequently in the "Daily Prophet" recently that Snape almost immediately remembered who Dumbledore was talking about, "That Gildero Lockhart? Are you kidding me?"

Among Hogwarts graduates, there are few students as impressive as Gilderoy Lockhart.He left his huge magical signature on the Quidditch pitch, sent eight hundred greeting cards every Valentine's Day morning, filled the auditorium with bird droppings and bird feathers, and projected his huge likeness into the sky. (As far as this matter is concerned, Snape always felt that Voldemort might have a little common language with Lockhart.) 【Note】

This Ravenclaw, who has graduated for ten years, left everyone with the impression of farces, jokes, oh, yes, and the Hogwarts school newspaper that has been closed since he graduated.As Lockhart's potions master for the last two years of his Hogwarts career, Snape knew his abilities all too well.

"No, of course not." Dumbledore twirled his white beard with his hands, and sighed: "You know, no one is willing to apply for this position now, and almost the entire wizarding world knows that the professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts Cursed, I have had a hard time finding someone to teach the subject. And Gilderoy is certainly not in a position to refuse the 'proud honor' of being Harry Potter's teacher."

"But he has no ability to be a professor. What do you expect students to learn from him? How to smile with eight teeth?" Snape said coldly, "Or mix his dangerous shampoo? Since you Let this idiot be the professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts, what about the werewolf?"

Dumbledore's expression was a bit complicated, "Students can learn knowledge from good professors, but they can learn what to do and what not to do from bad professors. Remus is here to take over from Kay. Professor Alterburn's Care of Magical Creatures class."

"Great fit, he's pretty much a magical creature himself...but why don't you let him teach Defense Against the Dark Arts? As much as I hate to admit it, he's at least a little more brainy than the fancy Lockhart. "

"Severus, Frank Longbottom told me something this summer." Dumbledore said seriously. "Harry lost a few letters that had been sent to him, and he hasn't investigated who did it. But it worried me a bit. So I asked Remus if he could come and work at Hogwarts."

Snape frowned.He had also heard Jody complain that Harry hadn't written back to her.At first he thought it was just that the kid was playing crazy at his friend's house and forgot to write a reply, but now it seems...

"I hope he can stay in Hogwarts for a long time. He can do a lot of things that you or Jody are not convenient to do. Let Remus stay in Hogwarts, protect Harry and teach Harry , and you don’t have to be restricted by your identity and Voldemort’s curse. With Remus taking care of Harry, you and Jody can keep a proper distance from Harry. You know, your identities are not suitable for being too close to Harry. Getting close, especially Jody, is dangerous for her to get too close to Harry..." Faced with Snape's sarcasm, Dumbledore pushed his half-moon-shaped glasses helplessly. "As long as there is wolfbane potion, Remus will not pose any threat to the students... You know, the letter I sent you has the formula, and you can make it, even though that potion is very difficult to make..."

"...You shouldn't ask me to pay the bill for the required materials." Snape made an annoyed compromise. Both he and Dumbledore knew that once things involved Jody, he would always give in, including for That damned werewolf brewing Wolfsbane Potion - plus maybe tutoring Harry Potter in Defense Against the Dark Arts this year, he didn't have time to waste.

"Oh, of course."

Snape returned to Laurel Cottage with a dark face, and the first thing he heard when he entered the room was that Harry was talking excitedly about the news that Lupine was about to become his colleague.

"Remus will be the professor of the Protection of Magical Creatures class at Hogwarts next school year." Harry, who was completely ignorant of Snape and Jody's complicated feelings, was extremely excited. "I must take his courses."

When he saw Aunt Jody again, Harry found that he could almost put those troubles behind him.Just like whether Mr. Snape had ever been a Death Eater, he didn't think it was necessary to discuss it with his aunt.Aunt cares about him and loves him, that's enough, isn't it?Thinking that he could think like this, Harry felt a sense of pride that he had grown up.

"Oh, Harry, you don't take electives until you're in the third year!" Jody hesitated, but still didn't tell Lupine that he was a werewolf, "Have you received the letter from Hogwarts yet?" What do I need to buy this year? I might be able to use Polyjuice Potion…”

"Yes," Harry recalled that he, Ron, and Hermione had made an appointment to go to Diagon Alley next Wednesday. "Oh, I'm sorry, Aunt Jody, I already have appointments with Ron, Neville and Hermione." He said a little nervously and hesitantly, "Aunt Petunia and Uncle Vernon won't accompany me to Diagon Alley, will they? ?"

Jody nodded helplessly.She suddenly felt that she also felt what her father and mother felt when they heard that James didn't need his parents to go shopping, even though Harry was younger than James at that time. "Okay, then I think Sirius would be willing to go with you."

"Mr. Weasley and Mr. Longbottom will also go. Mr. Longbottom is an Auror. Aunt Jody, don't worry." Harry misunderstood Jody's helplessness as worry, so he hurriedly said.

Jody gave a complicated smile.Of course she knew Frank Longbottom was an Auror, in fact she had slipped under Frank's nose more than once.Frank has never been able to bear the fact that his good friend's sister has become a Death Eater, and has always been determined to put Jody Porter on trial.Apparently, it wasn't right for her to appear in front of an Auror overtly as Harry's companion.

Snape, who was behind Harry, couldn't help but cleared his throat. Harry smiled nervously at Snape, and ran back to the room to sort things out.He didn't forget that Professor Snape specially assigned him a few papers before the holiday, including on spells and potions, which he needed to sort out and hand over to Snape.In front of homework, whether Professor Snape was a Death Eater or not seemed to be a trivial matter.

"I'm going to guide new students next week, you know. I'm not sure if I'll meet Harry." After watching Harry leave, Jody said to Snape, "Severus..."

Snape spoke for Jody as soon as she spoke: "I'll be in Diagon Alley on Wednesday."

Looking at Jody's smiling and narrowed eyes, Snape couldn't help but add without further ado: "I just happened to need to buy some potion ingredients in order to brew that damned Wolfsbane potion for Remus Lupine. "

Jody didn't refute his words as usual, and kissed him with a smile on his face.

Early on Wednesday morning, Harry walked to the Burrow.Sirius would meet him at the Burrow, and they'd floo to Diagon Alley.It was a new experience for Harry, and he was eager to try it - seriously, he had had enough of Apparating.

Jody dressed up as Professor Bubbaji after Harry had left, preparing to introduce a new Muggle-born named Creevey into the wizarding world.Snape, on the other hand, Apparated straight to Diagon Alley.He'd better get everything he needed before Harry Potter showed up - that had been his plan until he saw the Malfoys at the entrance to Knockturn Alley.

The author has something to say: Note: This part of the story about Gilderoy Lockhart when he was in school comes from POTTERMORE, and other introductions will be posted after sorting out.

When Jody and Snape were in school, someone asked about the Screaming Shack, but they didn't explain much at the time.Now I can tell you that, in fact, the situation in this article is that if there is no Jody, this incident will probably still happen.Snape didn't verify it, but he more or less guessed that Lupine was a werewolf. Jody really didn't know Lupine's werewolf identity.

At that time, the main reason why I didn't write it in was because I didn't want to distract the focus when the main plot became more and more tense.Of course, I also don't want Snape to owe James his life in this matter, which is the key reason why Sirius' prank didn't work. (Am I really my real mother?)

Speaking of which, Scotland is holding a referendum recently. If Scotland succeeds in becoming independent, Hogwarts in Scotland will no longer be the best wizarding school in the UK...
