[HP] Aunt of the Savior

"Hey, can this matter be included in the report?" Lockhart was very interested in the fight, and he was discussing with a reporter from the "Daily Prophet" with a smile on his face. "How about the headline 'Lockhart's fan-signing event is spectacular, readers get into physical altercation'?"

Snape took this opportunity to get rid of Lockhart's harassment, strode through the crowd, and left without even saying hello.He walked away without looking at Jody, just as cold and unkind as he had been at school.He snorted contemptuously at Lucius Malfoy, who was fighting with Weasley.

"Oh, Professor Snape..." Neville, who hurried over, had just reached the door of the bookstore, and almost bumped into the professor he was most afraid of, which made him nervous immediately.His voice was so soft that it could be blown away by the wind. "sorry……"

Snape gave Neville a cold look, and left without saying anything.

"Be careful, Neville." Mrs. Longbottom glanced at Snape with a hint of dissatisfaction in her eyes.She had always suspected that Snape didn't like Neville because he was the son of an Auror, but she and her husband had a tacit understanding and never told Neville about Snape's notorious past.They didn't want Neville to feel more psychologically against Snape because of this.And then, as soon as she walked into the bookstore, she didn't have the time to think about Snape, and she didn't even pay attention to the man pushing past beside her: "Oh, my God, what's going on!"

Lucius Malfoy and Arthur Weasley were still fighting each other, grabbing each other's clothes. They had knocked over the second bookshelf, and the books on the shelf were raining down on their knees. There were bruises on their heads, faces, and faces from the books, but this didn't stop them from crawling out of the pile of books like two children, intending to continue punching each other.

The bookstore clerk screamed in panic and tried to stop it, but it was undoubtedly in vain.

"Arthur!" Mrs. Weasley was even more embarrassed when she saw Mrs. Longbottom. "stop!"

"Father, great job!" But the twins were happily waving the flag to their father, and Ron was eager to try.It could be seen that if Mrs. Weasley hadn't been there, he probably wanted to take the opportunity to fight Draco Malfoy - especially when he was also thrown to the ground by the book just now.

Seeing the bookstore clerk who was about to cry, Mrs. Longbottom waved her magic wand quickly, sending the bookshelves and books back to their original places, and then tried to get closer to stop them.

"Stop, stop!" However, Hagrid was faster than her. He strode into the bookstore and pulled Mr. Malfoy and Mr. Weasley away.After he pulled Mr. Weasley up, he brushed the dirt off his body by the way, and almost pushed him to the ground again, "Oh, Arthur, I'm sorry."

"It's all right, thank you, Hagrid." Mr. Weasley was panting, the corner of his mouth cut and bleeding.

Lucius didn't look much better either, with a large dark circle under his pale face.This look made Ron couldn't help but sneered, and Draco on the side showed an angry expression on his face, and gave Ron a hard look.With his hands in his robe pockets, he seemed to be refraining from throwing a fist at Ron.

Ginny blushed and looked at the books left on the floor - she was terribly embarrassed that after Mrs Longbottom tidied up, only her battered second-hand textbooks were left on the floor.The mocking expressions of Malfoy and his son made her feel even more embarrassed, but she still shyly started to pack her textbooks. Neville also squatted down, picked up those textbooks one by one, piled them together, and put them back in Ginny's In the crucible.Ginny smiled at him gratefully.

"Draco, let's go!" Lucius watched the scene coldly, he broke away from Hagrid's hand, and dusted the place Hagrid touched in disgust. "The air here is unbearable."

After the Malfoys left, everyone left the bookstore together—before the reporters rushed over to take pictures of Mr. Weasley.

"Arthur, you shouldn't pay attention to Malfoy and them, their blood is bad," said Hagrid. "It's not worth listening to what they say."

"But..." Mr. Weasley said ruefully, "if I can catch Lucius Malfoy..."

"We all know about Malfoy." Mrs. Longbottom sighed, and her round face, which looked as friendly as her son's, elongated: "It's so difficult, Arthur, you know that the Ministry is now treating Malfoy Attitude."

Only Mrs. Weasley still looked angry, and she couldn't help complaining while casting a healing spell on Mr. Weasley: "Fighting in public, what example do you set for the children?! Gilderoy Lockhart will how to think……"

Hearing Mrs. Weasley's complaint, Ron couldn't help but said, "Oh, I actually think Dad looks handsome like this. By the way, Neville, why are you late today?"

"Dad has a temporary assignment, and Mom brought me here after sending Nina to grandma's house."

"By the way, why does your face look a little strange?"

"...Maybe...maybe it's because I just met Mr. Snape." Neville said with a wry smile.He touched his round face, "He's really scary."

"I still don't like Snape." Ron frowned, trying to find empathy with Hermione.He had just seen Snape in the bookstore as well.Seeing Snape's attitude towards Professor Bubbaji, Ron, who didn't like Snape in the first place, had a worse impression of him.

Hermione on the side shrugged. She didn't have time to answer Ron's words now, because she was busy reassuring her parents not to worry about her situation in the wizarding world because of what Mr. Weasley and Malfoy said.

Ron looked at Harry, but swallowed his complaints about Snape. "By the way, where's Sirius?"

Harry had also heard what Ron had said earlier, but this time he didn't say anything.He only told everyone that he saw Malfoy and his son in Knockturn Alley, but he didn't say that he saw Professor Snape with them, which kept him in a bad mood.When he thought of Professor Snape mixing with Malfoy, he felt an indescribable discomfort in his heart. "He went after Professor Snape. They seem to have something to talk about. They said they would meet us at the Leaky Cauldron later."

"I can't believe they're friends," said Ron in disbelief. "Think about it, maybe Sirius is going to ask that Snape to go to the bar for a drink or something... It's hard to imagine such a scene."

Harry smiled complicatedly.Today, Hermione asked Sirius to confirm this while chatting, but Sirius cleverly cooperated with Harry's statement, which surprised Ron very much.However, Harry was also very curious about what Sirius wanted to ask Professor Snape, but Sirius didn't say anything after he came back, as if he didn't want to mention it, so Harry had no choice but to keep this question in his heart.

The last few days of Harry's holiday were not going too well.Because after returning from Diagon Alley, Professor Snape seemed to be in a worse mood than usual, and what was worse, Harry still had to accept his private tutoring every day for the few papers he submitted.Although Harry admitted that Professor Snape's private tutoring made him feel very rewarding, the atmosphere of the lecture was undoubtedly very depressing, and this atmosphere was not just because of Professor Snape's consistently harsh comments.When Harry returned to the cupboard apartment before school started, he even felt a rare sense of relief - at least after school started, he only had to accept Professor Snape's guidance in the weekly Potions class .

But Harry wondered what made Professor Snape feel so bad.He didn't dare to ask Professor Snape, but he couldn't help but wonder if it had something to do with Sirius?Harry had tried talking to Aunt Jody about it, and she always felt that she acquiesced in his speculation.Regarding Professor Snape's bad mood, Harry believed that Aunt Jody was also worried, although she was always comforting and encouraging him more often.

After returning to the cupboard apartment, Jody cooked a lot of his favorite food for Harry, who was about to start school, as he did last year.Harry was relieved that Professor Snape hadn't come.Remus and Sirius would come to pick him up from Privet Drive tomorrow, and then Remus would go to school with them on the Hogwarts Express. Thinking of this, Harry couldn't help looking forward to tomorrow.

"Harry, you have to take good care of yourself at school, think about everything before you do it, and be careful." Jody couldn't help but reach out and stroke Harry's hair.After Jody came back, Harry looked much better than before. Although he was still very thin, he still looked very rosy, and he had grown a lot. "As for Severus... I know he seems to be having a bad temper lately, but I hope you're not mad at him."

Harry nodded. "Yes, Aunt Jody."

"Harry..." Jody finally couldn't help asking, looking into Harry's green eyes. "Is there anything you want to tell me?"

Jody's question made Harry's heart pound violently in his chest.Harry never told Aunt Jody about his valiant confrontation with Voldemort while protecting the Sorcerer's Stone.And after a summer vacation, he almost forgot what Voldemort said.Originally, he really wanted to ask Aunt Jody about Professor Snape and his identity as a Death Eater, as well as his close relationship with the Malfoy family. It is impossible for her to be ignorant of this matter, but she had never mentioned it to Harry.But after hearing what Sirius and Luna said, he had already given up on this plan.He should trust Professor Snape and Aunt Jody, even though things at Knockturn Alley still made him feel a little uncomfortable.

"No, no." Harry finally shook his head.

Jody returned to Laurel Cottage with some disappointment.Harry's decision to hide made her feel a little sad and a little ironic.Now you've finally tasted what it's like to be hidden?She couldn't help laughing at herself.She wanted to explain things to Harry, but Harry's refusal to ask made it difficult for her to speak out.

"As I said," Snape put his arm around Jody's shoulders, comforting her in a unique tone, "you should be proud that you raised Harry Potter to be more like you and not like your brainless Brother. And at least Harry knows how to use his head to say everything instead of all at once - although I would say he's not very good at faking himself."

"Yeah..." Jody glanced at Snape dumbfounded, and couldn't help but fight back. "So, as a calm and good Slytherin, it's not so right to vent anger?"

Snape's ears turned red.He pursed his lips uncomfortably.When Sirius explained to him the trap that James Potter and Remus Lupine didn't know about, he guessed from Sirius' words that Harry Potter knew that he had been a foodie. The identity of the dead.

When he met Harry Potter in Lihen Bookstore, he saw the uncertain eyes towards himself and Harry's way of not telling Jody or himself about it, which made Snape feel uncomfortable. The mood has been bad.He admitted that he had no patience for being concealed and somehow deceived by anyone but Jody Porter.This leads directly to Harry Potter's miserable experience during the period before school starts.

"Actually, I'm still a little worried about Harry. Maybe when he's older, I'll try to tell him everything, whether he wants to share his adventures with me or not." Jody leaned on Snape's shoulder , whispered. "And...the letter...it's weird."

"Don't worry," Snape said softly, kissing Jody's temples lightly, "With... Remus Lupine by his side, Harry won't be in any trouble."

But things didn't go as smoothly as Snape said.

Usually, new professors will go to the staff lounge or their own office to put their luggage first, but Lupine, who came to Hogwarts with the students on the Hogwarts Express to take up his post this time, carried his suitcases when he arrived at the school. Straight into Dumbledore's office. "Professor Dumbledore, I have something to tell you."

"Oh?" Dumbledore looked at Lupine in surprise.Lupine has a stable personality, and rarely shows such eagerness as he is now.

"There was an accident when Harry came," said Lupine with a worried look. "I think it's weird that someone would want to stop Harry from coming to Hogwarts."
