[HP] Aunt of the Savior

Snape nodded.This is exactly what they have been looking forward to: to find all the Horcruxes as soon as possible.

Things about Horcruxes have bothered them for too long.Ever since Regulus was lucky enough to discover that the Dark Lord had made a Horcrux, and risked his life to retrieve the locket from that cave, they hadn't made any new progress in finding the Horcrux.

——Jody went away for his own plan, Snape was busy researching ways to revive James and Lily, and Regulus didn't fully recover until recent years and was able to go out openly.

And Dumbledore never mentioned the Horcrux again, and neither did Jody and Snape.It wasn't until Harry entered school that Dumbledore specifically approached them again to talk about Horcruxes.

Jody and Snape were not surprised by the conversation.Regulus was still alive, they had to let Dumbledore know sooner or later, in order to ensure Regulus' future safety.But Regulus cautiously delayed this time until after he had mastered the advanced Transfiguration technique, obviously hoping to still have a certain degree of freedom and initiative in this matter.

Although the Slytherins knew very well that this kind of freedom and initiative might be very limited in the face of a powerful wizard like Dumbledore, that didn't stop them from doing so.

"I'm very glad that Regulus Black is still alive. This must be very good news for Sirius." Dumbledore's expression did not blame Jody and Snape for their concealment over the years, on the contrary Also appreciate what they do. "And it's very helpful in finding Horcruxes, I suspect Voldemort made more than one Horcrux, but we have no clue about the others right now."

"About Horcruxes, I have been thinking about this issue, and I also have some guesses." Jody sincerely thanked Miss Bathilda Bagshot for giving her so many books on the history of magic. "The first Horcrux we found was Slytherin's locket, so is it possible for Voldemort to use the relics of other Hogwarts founders or Slytherin's relics to make Horcruxes?"

She recited the verses recorded in the book in a low voice:

"'Gryffindor said, I choose to keep a sword, to show my courage;

Ravenclaw said, I choose to keep a diadem to pass on my wisdom;

Says Hufflepuff, I choose to keep a golden cup for my loyalty;

Slytherin said, I chose to keep a pendant to prove my nobility.

The four founders left a gift as a gift for those who came to Hogwarts. 』

——If Voldemort had read "Hogwarts Mystery Legend" and had already got the locket, he would know that it is not just a legend and go to find the other three relics.I wonder why this paragraph is not mentioned in "A Piece of Hogwarts History", it seems that it is indeed just a piece of school history, because it is not comprehensive and detailed enough.I have also looked up the whereabouts of these relics in the history books. They were probably taken out of England at one time to the European continent.In addition, when the goblins rebelled, many products made by the goblins were brought back to their own territory by the goblins. If there are goblin works in these relics, then they may bring it back to the goblins. "

""A Piece of Hogwarts School History" does not record these things, perhaps because the four founders did not want Hogwarts students to deliberately look for these things." Dumbledore said to Jody from the book The analysis he gave nodded appreciatively, "I think your guess is very reasonable. Voldemort has always been proud of being a descendant of Slytherin, and he is fascinated by everything at Hogwarts. It is quite possible to search for the precious relics left by these precious founders to use as their own Horcruxes."

"Speaking of goblins, one thing comes to mind," said Snape suddenly. "It's about a plan of the Dark Lord many years ago. Joe, do you remember what happened after Regulus and Barty Crouch Jr. accepted the Dark Mark?"

"Oh, yes, of course." Jody was a little taken aback by Snape's sudden mention of it. "At that time Voldemort planned to have Death Eaters attack a goblin-inhabited village in Nottingham, intending to ask them to make a valuable and unique gift to Mrs Bastad."

"Yes, the failure of that matter made the Lestrange brothers lose the importance of the Dark Lord, because they killed a goblin and did not bring him to the Dark Lord." Snape said cautiously: " It suddenly occurred to me that the real purpose of the Dark Lord looking for the goblin might be to get news about the relic from the goblin, and finding gifts might just be a cover."

At the end of his speech, he looked at Jody with a hint of embarrassment in his eyes: "This task was later handed over to Lucius Malfoy. He bought a very precious necklace made of goblins with money, and delivered the gift to Mrs. Bastad's hand. But the Dark Lord doesn't seem to be satisfied with his results, even though he praised Malfoy's ability to handle affairs on the surface. Lucius once discussed the Dark Lord's purpose with me secretly, but I I don't think he would have guessed this possibility."

Jody pursed his lips and gave Snape a reassuring smile.She understood where the embarrassment in Snape's eyes came from when he brought it up.

It is not uncommon among Death Eaters to speculate on the Dark Lord's thoughts in private, especially after the Dark Lord has gradually become more and more irritable and irrational, and everyone is afraid of his cruel punishment without warning and reason, This made it common for Death Eaters to exchange some information secretly with each other.

But the close relationship between Snape and Lucius Malfoy had already surpassed this level.Besides, it involved one of the most desperate quarrels they'd ever had, and she knew that Snape cared a lot about it, even though they'd never talked about it again.

At one point she thought he had completely betrayed her.But now, she is very happy to see that he has stayed with her all the time.

"Yes, because Voldemort will not tell others about the Horcruxes easily." Dumbledore seemed to turn a blind eye to the interaction between Jody and Snape, but the corners of his mouth slightly raised. "But I feel that if we know Voldemort well enough, we can guess where he keeps his Horcruxes—maybe now, I can arrange a time to visit that cave with Regulus."

Neither Jody nor Snape knew whether Dumbledore and Regulus went to find the cave afterwards, but this discussion obviously failed to produce the answer they hoped for.Neither Jody's speculation nor Snape's recollection could find direct information on the Horcrux's whereabouts.Under such circumstances, they believed that even Dumbledore could only consider continuing to search for possible clues while waiting for Voldemort to show his flaws on his own initiative.And in the private actions of the Slytherins, Jody's selfishness was also included: she wanted to inquire about the news about the Elder Wand by the way.

However, judging from the current situation, things seemed to be at an impasse, and it was no wonder that Snape thought that Harry's troubles were not all bad.

"Harry will be fine, right?" After talking about the Horcrux topic, Jody's eyes suddenly dimmed from the shining just now. She was silent for a long time before she asked a little uneasy.They found a lot of information during the holiday, but even the most detailed book "Advanced Black Magic Decryption", which described how to make a Horcrux, didn't mention how to destroy the soul fragments inside without damaging the Horcrux itself. .

Although he understood Jody's feelings, Snape still put his arms around her, and replied affirmatively, "It will."

He really didn't know how else to comfort Jody other than to say that.

Jody smiled bitterly and hugged Snape back.She knew exactly how comforting this answer was, but for some reason, she was still willing to deceive herself into believing this answer.

There must be a way.

And Harry's current troubles, although related to the lightning-shaped scar, are completely different from Jody's troubles.The scar on his forehead, for Jody, is the serious injury Voldemort caused to Harry, but for Harry now, it is the source of his unbearable annoyance.

Harry really regretted that he liked the scar that made him so different back then, and it turned out that it was this kind of difference that made him feel embarrassed and was often surrounded by people like a monkey in a zoo. .After the turmoil of the first year, Harry thought that things would get a little better when he was in the second year, but things still didn't work out as he hoped.

Colin is no less fascinated by Harry than Ginny, and compared to the shy Ginny, he prefers to actively follow Harry, whether Harry is going to class, to eat or to participate in Quidditch train.Colin's overzealousness was annoying Harry, and under the circumstances, it was difficult for him to sneak up on Professor Snape or Remus.

Colin was also obsessed with taking pictures, especially after he knew that he could develop photos of moving characters. He always followed Harry with his camera in his arms, expecting Harry to take a photo with him and give him a signed photo.It turned out that this incident sparked Harry and Malfoy's first argument of the school year.

"Scarhead, post a signed photo?" Malfoy looked even more annoying than last year.His swagger and his pale little face made Harry uncomfortable to watch, not to mention his stinging tone. "Everyone, line up and get it! Signed photos of the boys who survived, ten for one Nat!"

Poor Colin blushed and tried his best to defend Harry, but his small body seemed so insignificant against the backdrop of Crabbe and Goyle.

Harry thought this was the worst, but he didn't expect it to be worse when Professor Lockhart appeared.Lockhart involuntarily took Harry to take a group photo together, did not listen to Harry's excuses at all, insisted that it was because of himself that Harry "fell in love with the taste of being famous", and complacently taught Harry not to be in front of his classmates It seems too "conceited".

Luckily, Lupine showed up in time and rescued Harry from Lockhart. "Sorry, Gilderoy, I have a few words to say to Mr. Potter."

"Oh, of course no problem. Just remember not to be late, Harry." Lockhart said affectionately, and left with his turquoise robes swung.The gesture seemed familiar to Harry.

"Thanks, Remus...ah, I mean, Professor Lupine." Harry let out a long breath, freed from Lockhart's nagging. "I didn't just..."

"It's okay." Lupine glanced at the thick stack of Lockhart's books in Harry's hand, showing a strange expression, "Of course I know you won't send signed photos."

Then, he gently said to Colin who was standing aside with a guilty face: "I think you can take a photo with your friend Harry Potter like an ordinary person, that would be better, what do you think?" ?”

Colin, who was still dejected just now, nodded with surprise and joy after seeing that Harry did not object to Lupin's words.

"Okay, it's time for you to go to class." Lupine patted Harry on the shoulder, and there seemed to be a nervous smile on his face. "I'm going to my first class too."
