[HP] Aunt of the Savior

Facing Hermione's question, Harry was not surprised at all.Instead, Ron and Neville looked at Hermione in surprise.

"Hermione? You say Harry is hiding something from us?" Ron looked at his good friend in confusion. "I don't understand, I mean, although Harry is indeed a little mysterious sometimes, but..."

Ron suddenly found himself speechless.He had to admit that he didn't notice some things at all, but he didn't think about them seriously at all.Thinking about it now, there are indeed many places in Harry that seem very mysterious, even this adventure in the Chamber of Secrets is the same.He suddenly remembered something: "Last night, I thought Fred and George were joking with me...Harry, are you really on the mountain?"

"Yes, I'm sorry." Harry took a deep breath and said the apology he had wanted to say to his friends.He bowed his head sincerely, staring at the patterns on the carpet in Neville's room. "I feel so sorry."

"I thought you wouldn't just admit it like that..." Hermione whispered, a look of anger and confusion appeared on her face. "So, Harry, what exactly are you hiding from us?"

"It wasn't Sirius who sent you to my door this morning?" Ron stared at Harry, his voice unusually serious.

"No." Harry shook his head. "I... walked to your door by myself. Ron... I, I actually..."

"James Evans." When Harry was having a hard time opening his mouth, Hermione calmly followed Harry's words. "I remember that name, right?"

"James Evans?"

"Oh, my God, Ron, even if you don't know that Harry's mother was named Evans before they got married, have you forgotten what Harry's middle name is?" "Besides, Mrs. Lily Evans Potter is recorded in so many books..."

"We don't usually call each other by middle names, and I don't know Harry through any book!" Ron had already understood what Hermione and Harry meant, but he was so annoyed that he didn't want to admit it himself. Don't want to admit that I haven't noticed this all along.

"Harry James Potter, Evans is my mother's maiden name." Harry said his full name himself, and admitted to Ron with difficulty that he had concealed it for many years. "Ron, I'm sorry I lied to you in the past..."

"Harry, I always thought we were friends," said Ron, his face flushed, and the freckles on his face seemed to pop out of the skin. "--best friend."

"Of course we are."

"But you lied to me from the beginning!"

As soon as the conversation started, the atmosphere became stiff, and Ron sat aside angrily and sulked alone.Neville looked anxiously at Ron, then at Harry and Hermione, trying to ease the atmosphere: "Hermione, how did you find out about this? Harry, why did you pretend to be someone else? "

"I guessed it by accident too. Ron mentioned that James Evans and Harry sometimes look alike, and Harry has known Ron's hobbies since first grade. It seems that they have been very good friends I read the book introducing Harry before I entered school, and Harry’s parents were mentioned in it. After discovering these details, I suddenly thought that the name James Evans might have another meaning, and James Evans Didn't go to Hogwarts, and miraculously lost contact with Ron after we went to school..." The clever little witch spoke out her thoughts, and the three boys were fascinated. "I was just guessing, but Harry just said that he walked to Ron's house early this morning. Only James Evans lives very close to the Burrow, right? And..." Hermione remembered Luna. "Luna Lovegood, I heard from Ginny that she used to hang out with you sometimes. That's why Harry and Luna became friends so quickly."

"Hermione, you're so smart." Harry said sincerely.He himself didn't expect Hermione to deduce so many things from the details. "You're absolutely right..." He turned to Ron, who was peeking here from time to time. "Ron, I'm sorry, but at that time I couldn't disclose my identity, and I couldn't disclose where I lived, in case I might encounter some unknown dangers."

"I think I understand," Neville said with a look of lingering fear. "I heard from my father and mother that for a long time after the fall of the mysterious man, there were many Death Eaters who were very crazy and made troubles everywhere. Once, several Death Eaters attacked our house at night. Fortunately, At that time, Dad and Mom were preparing to meet up with other Aurors to carry out the mission, and then they were captured and sent to Azkaban. Dad has always said the mantra of Mad-Eye since then, saying to be vigilant at all times .”

"And people in the wizarding world almost think that I've been living among Muggles, but that's not the case." Harry looked at Neville gratefully. "I live with wizards. If I tell about it, I might put them in danger."

"Sure enough." Hermione's guess was verified by Harry herself, and she couldn't help but nodded excitedly. "I think Harry, you know a lot! That person is Sirius? No, no, I remember that Sirius was only acquitted in 1988. I read it in the newspaper."

"Did she memorize all the news..." Ron muttered in a low voice.Although he was angry, he had been listening to Harry's words with conflicting emotions.

Having said that, Harry hesitated.Judging from yesterday's conversation, Aunt Jody didn't seem to mind that he told his friends about their life together, but if they knew that he lived with Professor Snape...

"This is a secret, and I hope you can keep it a secret from me—in fact, not far from the Burrow is the home of my aunt and Professor Snape. They live together." Harry mustered up his courage, finished the sentence as quickly as possible, and watched his friends' reactions nervously.

Hearing Snape's name, Neville's face suddenly turned pale, showing an expression of admiration. "Harry, I... I really don't know what to say."

"So, that's why you trust Professor Snape so much?" Hermione suddenly realized, "It's not because Sirius and Professor Snape have a good relationship, but because of your own relationship with Professor Snape." relationship. Oh, but..."

"Wait, you mean, Professor Snape is your...uncle?" Finally, Ron couldn't care less about getting angry, he interrupted Hermione, turned to look directly at Harry, and stared at Harry. With wide eyes, he now looks like he just swallowed a whole chocolate frog.

"Uh..." Harry froze for a moment, and a mischievous smile suddenly appeared on his face: "Actually... I think that's about it..."

"My God..." Neville looked like he was about to pass out.

Hermione's expression also became strange, and the girl's voice suddenly became cautious. "Well, Harry, I don't mean anything else, but I think I'm not the only one who feels that way... we don't think Professor Snape treats you..."

Neville and Ron both nodded in agreement.Although Hermione didn't quite get the words out, everyone in the room understood what she meant.No one would have imagined that their potions professor would have any particularly close relationship with Harry Potter.Everyone at Hogwarts knew that Snape was probably the most partial of all the professors, but he had never favored Harry.

"Yes, because our relationship is a secret. I think Professor Snape has done a much better job than me, at least you all find it hard to believe, don't you?" Harry shrugged and decided to tell the story of the Chamber of Secrets before as evidence. "Also, Professor Snape has done a lot of things, he has always taken care of me... Think about Quirrell's curse, and when we went to the Chamber of Secrets, in fact, he has always been with us, secretly protecting us ...that's why Hermione didn't meet him on the way when she went to ask for help."

"Harry..." Hermione suddenly understood. "The reason why you ran back was because Professor Snape was still facing the basilisk, wasn't it?"

Seeing Harry nodding his head slightly, thinking about the huge basilisk he hadn't seen with his own eyes, Hermione subconsciously raised her hand to cover her chest. "Harry, this is really...too dangerous. I think Professor Snape must be very concerned about you."

"Yes, I think so." Harry nodded seriously.

"It's unbelievable...Professor Snape lives so close to my house..." Ron pouted. "Well, although you can't expect Professor Snape to give candy to your children, it sounds like he's really reliable."

"Oh, I actually did ask him for candy on Halloween." Harry said with a stifled smile, which made Ron's expression twist again.But after such a small episode, his anger seemed to dissipate a lot.

"Well, for the sake of you being able to live with Professor Snape..." Ron muttered, "That Mrs. Kent...?"

"It's my aunt."

"...Harry." Neville suddenly had a strange expression on his face. "May I ask the name of your aunt? She's related to your mother, isn't she?"

"Oh, no, it's not. Jody, Jody Potter."

Neville gasped. "But Harry, Jody Potter... Jody Potter has been on the secret wanted list of the Aurors for many years, and my parents once specifically told me some names, warning me to be very careful. "

As soon as this sentence was finished, Neville immediately regretted it.

"But I've lived with Aunt Jody since I was seven." Harry showed a shocked expression at the news. "Before she appeared, no one really cared about me. You don't know how many magical things she has done! She is a powerful and kind witch, how could she be wanted?"

"Calm down, Harry." Hermione put a worried hand on Harry's shoulder. "Listen to Neville."

The stares of his friends obviously made Neville stutter and speak nervously: "I heard...she might be...a Death Eater...disappeared after the You-Know-Who was destroyed...or maybe not... …Harry, I'm sorry, I'm not…"

Harry was speechless.

"There is one more thing I want to tell you, Harry." Neville looked at Harry nervously, his round face was full of worry, and a fine layer of sweat began to appear on his forehead.Seeing Harry's obsession with his words, he hesitated for a long time before making up his mind to speak out. "This is...I overheard it last night."

"What's the matter?" Harry's mood was messed up by what he had just heard.He'd never heard of it, never knew...it never occurred to him why Aunt Jody was always so mysterious, why she seldom contacted him when he was at school, and he never knew about her Where did they go in those days.Probably, he thought, like Professor Snape, his aunt was a spy with the Death Eaters, that must be it.But Professor Snape has now been cleared of the charges, while Aunt Jody has been...

"I heard someone inform my father and mother through the fireplace that someone had escaped from Azkaban. It seemed... It was a man named Peter. It seems that this matter is still a secret, but after my father and mother heard about it, they immediately I decided to take you to my house today for the summer vacation. I guess, this Peter might be against you, so...so you must be careful...be vigilant..." Neville said nervously.

But he felt even more regretful when he finished saying this, because he saw that Harry's face turned livid when he heard the name Peter.

"How...how is it possible!?"
