[HP] Aunt of the Savior

"You mean... that card?" Jody saw what Snape was thinking, and she muttered hesitantly, "But think about the relationship between Mrs. Bastard and Grindelwald who proposed the deal?" I don't think it would be a good idea to make a deal with another Dark Lord at a time like this."

It seemed easy to guess what a fallen Dark Lord was planning in the dark.Rather than helping Grindelwald make a comeback, she would rather tell Dumbledore about her plan, although she doesn't want to tell others the secret of the Deathly Hallows.

"Indeed." Snape nodded irrefutably at Jody's words, and said nothing more.

Jody glanced at Snape, suddenly feeling a little uneasy in his heart.She could tell that Snape didn't seem to give up on that dangerous idea.

In any case, the matter of getting the Elder Wand from Dumbledore is obviously not the best solution that can be thought of in a day.As the never impatient Slytherins, waiting is not a difficult thing to do, so neither Jody nor Snape continued this topic.

"About Harry..." Jody didn't mention her conversation with Harry until she was lying next to Snape. "I allowed him to spill some secrets to his friends, he really didn't want to lie to his friends anymore and I could see it was a big burden on him."

"Apparently you've thought it through clearly?" Snape was silent for a while before whispering.

"Yes." Jody tilted his head in Snape's direction and leaned on his shoulder, "I figured it out, sooner or later. Harry...Harry at least has some very good friends." .”

"Okay," Snape's hand grasped Jody's beside him in the dark familiarly and naturally, it was obviously already summer, but her hand was unexpectedly cold as expected. "Since you've already made up your mind."

"Yes, I've made up my mind..." Jody stared at the ceiling, squeezing Snape's hand back tightly.The darkness made her calmly talk about some things that she didn't really want to mention. "As for the resurrection stone, you have actually seen them before."

"They?" Snape didn't expect Jody to use the plural to describe something as precious and unique as the Resurrection Stone.

"Yes, I said it, I've had the Resurrection Stones for a long time. They've always been in the ring my parents passed down to James and Lily, but even James didn't know about it."

"Inlaid on the ring?" Snape desperately searched through his memory, only to vaguely recall the inconspicuous black stone inlaid on the ancestral rings of the Potter family.Is that the resurrection stone?

"To be precise, it is actually just a fragment of the resurrection stone. It is the third of the three Peverell brothers. My ancestors cut and studied the fragments from the original resurrection stone." Jody added. "After reading that fairy tale, I'm afraid you can also think that the so-called gift from the god of death to the three brothers should actually be that the three Peverell brothers made the Deathly Hallows themselves. They hoped to use the Deathly Hallows to conquer death, but It is impossible for them to change the most basic law of magic. Only by giving can there be gains. Therefore, the legendary resurrection stone can only resurrect the image of the soul, because when using the resurrection stone, the user is just paying for the dead. longing. Only the exchange of souls can make the dead truly reborn. This is the real usage of the resurrection stone."

"Exchanging souls..." Snape had to admit that the theory Jody said was very easy to understand.Dumbledore had said something similar in their very first alchemy lesson.If you analyze it according to Jody's words, then the reason why the legendary resurrection stone can't really call back the dead makes sense. "So, one person's soul must be exchanged for another person's resurrection?"

"Yes, the real usage of the Deathly Hallows is only passed down among the three Peverell brothers. I think now maybe only the Potter family has kept all the methods of use. It seems that there is no mention in any book, when Peverell The second of the three Lier brothers chose to die because he found that he couldn't use the resurrection stone to resurrect the woman he loved, and when that woman died, she didn't meet the requirements of the resurrection stone—"

Jody paused for a moment, as if struggling to squeeze out the words: "Only those who sacrifice their lives for others will have their souls preserved by the resurrection stone after death."

"..." Snape didn't say anything, he simply wrapped Jody in his arms, resting her head on his arm.

"My parents chose the fertility potion for the birth of me and James, which met this standard. The resurrection stone stored their souls. But they didn't intend to let me resurrect them. The reason why they told me the secret about the resurrection stone , I actually hope that I can find an excuse to ask for the ring on Lily's hand at the right time."

"why?"

"Because the soul in the resurrection stone can protect the person who wears it. Even if the wearer encounters the Avada Kedavra, he will have the chance to come back from the dead because of the resurrection stone. Moreover, James and Lily are also to protect others And those who died, I have checked those two rings, and I am sure that the resurrection stone has preserved their souls." Jody's voice was a little helpless. "Mom and Dad certainly wouldn't tell James about it. Maybe it was the most selfish decision they've ever made in their lives - they wanted to protect their children more. I didn't listen to them this time... But, thankfully I didn't take the ring from Lily's hand, otherwise Lily..."

"No, it's a good thing you didn't meet..." Snape interrupted Jody, tightening his arms a little more.He was really glad that James Potter and Lily had the chance to come back to life, but he was not at all happy.He has always known that Jody has a particularly strong paranoia about the person he wants to protect, but he never thought that she would even give up the chance to save her own life.Just remembering all the dangers Jody had been through during their time with Voldemort put Snape in a terrible mood.

"Oh, Severus, are you trying to suffocate me?" Jody patted Snape's tight arm lightly, complained with a low laugh, and then said softly, "And, those are all in the past." Something happened."

"Can that ring still be used to protect the wearer now?" Snape coughed slightly in embarrassment, relaxed a little, and asked.

"Oh, no." Jody regretted, "That might hurt the souls of James and Lily, and if it works, I'll definitely bring it to Harry, unless we can find the original Resurrection Stone, but already There has been no record of that stone for centuries..."

Snape's fingers subconsciously rubbed Jody's left ring finger, as if he wanted to put a resurrection stone ring on Jody immediately. "Maybe we should find that stone and cut it into several pieces, so as to satisfy your desire to protect that kid who can't even lie, and at the same time remind you to think about how to protect yourself."

"No... Severus, as long as I'm with you, I don't worry about that at all," Jody said, yawning.

After these heart-wrenching conversations tonight, Jody's last words cheered up Snape, who was already in a complicated and uneasy mood.Maybe... now is not the time to rush to sleep?

The next day, when Harry was planning to go out early in the morning to confess to Ron, he unexpectedly didn't see Aunt Jody and Professor Snape in the restaurant.But breakfast was already on the table: toast, scrambled eggs and bacon were steaming and looking freshly prepared.

Harry guessed that Aunt Jody and Professor Snape might have gone out early in the morning, so he left a note on the dining table, explaining that he set off after going to the Burrow.He felt uneasy all the way, worried that Ron would be angry at his lies.He has considered many ways to express his concealed facts, but none of them seem to satisfy him.Harry felt that if he was deceived by Ron like this, he would be very angry.He was even worried that Ron had noticed something was wrong and was angry now.

However, when he arrived at the Burrow, he realized that his worries yesterday seemed a little unnecessary—as soon as Ron saw him, he hurriedly pulled him to the front of the fireplace: "Harry, oh, I I didn't expect you to come so soon. Didn't Neville promise to invite us and Hermione to play at his house? Since you're here, we can go there now!"

Only then did Harry realize that he had completely forgotten about it.Before he could figure out the situation, he followed Ron into the fireplace.He hadn't been much of a fan of Floo travel, but now he thought Harry hadn't realized he was standing on the floor of the Longbottom house until he had coughed on the soot for a while.

"Harry, are you okay?" Neville picked up Harry's glasses that had been thrown out, wiped them and handed them to him. "I didn't expect you to come so soon. My father and mother were going to pick you up and Hermione."

"Oh, actually I'm..." Harry couldn't get out of his mouth, but was interrupted by little Nina who suddenly jumped at his feet.He glanced at Neville, who was comforting his sister in his arms, and wisely decided to clarify everything after Hermione arrived at the Longbottoms' house.In fact, he already felt that Hermione might have some doubts about certain things, and the reason why she didn't ask was purely out of respect for her friend*.Oh... Harry moaned silently inwardly.Thinking of this made him feel even more uncomfortable.

The house of the Longbottom family was much more spacious than the Weasleys' house, and compared to the crowded and lively Weasleys' house, it had a neat and simple style.The only thing that affects this style is the baby products that can be seen everywhere now, but this kind of mess adds a lot of fun to the house.

"Oops, Harry isn't in Privet Drive..." Mr. Longbottom walked into his home in a hurry, with a nervous expression on his face when he saw Harry standing in his living room. Ridiculously froze.

Harry smiled awkwardly at the Longbottoms: "Uh, I just went to Ron's house to look for him, and we used the Floo network to come here together."

"We thought something happened to you. Your uncles and aunts don't seem too happy about our visit..." Mrs. Longbottom's round face had a rare unhappy expression. "And they won't tell you where you are. We're worried."

Thinking of the Dursleys' attitude towards wizards, Harry could fully guess how they treated the Longbottoms who came to find him. "I'm so sorry. I left with Sirius as soon as I got back to Privet Drive yesterday."

After Harry finished speaking, his eyes met Hermione's, who had an obviously puzzled expression on his face.Hermione didn't seem to believe him at all.Harry scratched his head, feeling that Hermione was going to get to the bottom of it this time.Sure enough, after the Longbottoms went to prepare lunch and Neville took all his friends back to his room, Hermione spoke in a very imposing manner.

"Okay, tell me then, Harry." Hermione took a deep breath. "I guess there's something you haven't told us, have you?"
