[HP] Aunt of the Savior

Avery and Mulciber left the hospital hospital on Sunday night and returned to the common room. They had completely recovered to their original appearance, and Snape's trap did not cause them any serious injuries.But that was enough to stop them from looking down on Snape as much as before, but they also didn't dare to invite him back to the dormitory where he was supposed to live-in fact, Snape didn't want to go back.

Although he lost a round against Snape, the development of things afterwards was just as Lucius expected.From the second week of term, Snape was the most feared new student in Slytherin.And Malfoy's attitude has also become the weathervane of the Slytherins. No one approaches or provokes Snape in the first year, especially the girls, who avoid him, because no one wants to become Ever. Ree and Mulciber's ugly and disgusting terror.

With the exception of Jody, she and Snape got on as much as before, if not closer.After all, compared to Lily from different colleges, Jody and Snape obviously spent more time together.Doris also walked with them from time to time, but she only talked to Jody.Doris' previous worries didn't happen, and Snape didn't intend to retaliate against her, but his attitude towards her didn't change at all.But Doris was perfectly happy with the indifference.

After a period of adaptation, the freshmen's life at Hogwarts gradually entered the orderly track of school life from the initial novelty and curiosity.Like the previous Hogwarts students, they are used to the changing stairs and the passages hidden behind walls, picture frames and armor, and they have mastered the passages to and from the auditorium, common room and various classrooms with the shortest distance.

Lily made a lot of new friends during this time, and occasionally when Jody met her in the corridor, Jody always saw her surrounded by a few girls, chatting with the students around her with a smile on her face.This kind of time is not suitable for talking, so the two girls often just exchange a smile and then leave.But Snape seemed a bit disappointed when this happened, even though they had an appointment in the library to do homework together two days a week, and the little red-haired witch never forgot to give him a smile too.

At this time, Jody couldn't help but pat Snape on the shoulder sympathetically.The current situation of being in different colleges with James made her understand Snape's mood very well.Jody is still worried about the naughty James holding her father's invisibility cloak. From the day she knew about it, she was worried whether James would cause any big trouble.

Perhaps it was the magical telepathy of the twins, James was also worried about Jody at this time.Although Mr. Potter's letter warned her not to interfere with Jody's making friends, he was still very dissatisfied with the friendship between Jody and Snape.This dissatisfaction intensified after he noticed that Snape was even alienated by the entire Slytherin. James racked his brains to find a way to make Jody willing to keep his distance from Snape, and he even tried to Warning Snape, but the other party's sneering and ignoring his words, instead causing him to get two points deducted by Professor McGonagall for shouting in the corridor-James felt that he was even more angry.

In order to fight against Snape, James urgently held a "combat meeting" in the common room.Sirius suggested that James occupy Jody's spare time as much as possible, so that Jody would not be with Snape often.But Slytherin and Gryffindor didn't take many classes together, and James probably couldn't find Jody at all. Besides, it didn't seem so easy for the active James to spend time in the library like Jody.Lupine, on the other hand, felt that it was not a good idea to prevent Jody and Snape from becoming friends.He suggested that James simply drop out of Jody's affairs, but James claimed that he would never bear to have a slob who didn't look like a good thing, a guy who had insulted Gryffindor's mind, be his sister's friend.

As a result, before the unlucky James had time to find out a suitable action plan to put into practice on Snape, the combat meeting was heard by Lily Evans, who was also Gryffindor.Peter claimed he could have sworn that Evans, who had refuted James at the time, looked exactly like their dean, Professor McGonagall.Fortunately, the upcoming flying lesson distracted James' attention, which relieved his depressed mood a little.

The week leading up to flying lessons was a time of ecstasy, and even the professors were used to it.When returning to the castle from the greenhouse of the herb class, the students could see that Mrs. Hooch, who was in charge of the flight class, was seriously taking out the brooms from the broom shed of the school for overhaul.Those brooms looked very old. Thinking of using such brooms for flying lessons, many students complained about the school's rule that first-year students were not allowed to bring their own broomsticks.

"I've never been on a broomstick before, oh, wouldn't it be uncomfortable to sit on that kind of thing? It's just a stick! I still think the car is more comfortable..." Lily was very nervous about the next flying lesson. I borrowed a copy of "The Origin of Quidditch" from the library, but apart from learning the history of the development of broomsticks and Quidditch, it doesn't really help me how to fly.

"It doesn't matter. With the Cushion Curse, the comfort of the broomstick is guaranteed, as long as you don't sit on it for too long." Jody comforted the worried Lily, but she couldn't help but look at her tightly pursed lips quietly. Snape.She felt that Snape might be more nervous than Lily who had never touched a broomstick.That day she saw Snape standing in a daze in front of the bulletin board with notices about flying lessons. His expression was definitely not the kind of expectation that other students had when they learned that they were going to take flying lessons.

On Wednesday afternoon, the Slytherin and Gryffindor freshmen came to the flat lawn in front of the gate to have their first flying lesson together.

There were about twenty brooms lined up neatly, and Mrs. Hooch was standing beside them waiting for them.She was a witch with short gray hair, and the twins had greeted her in Diagon Alley, but they didn't know her very well.

"Okay, everyone stand next to a broomstick, fast." She reminded the students who came to class loudly until they all decided on their positions.

In order to stand with Jody, James took advantage of Mrs. Hooch's inattention and pushed Snape aside, causing Lily to stare at him.When Mrs. Hooch saw that everyone was on their feet, she reminded them to hold out their hands and put them on top of their broomsticks.

"Say to it, 'Get up,' louder and braver," she says, walking among the students, checking that they're doing as they're told.

James' broom jumped into his hand obediently, and he whistled proudly, only to be glared at by Mrs. Hooch again.Jody's broom wasn't so good, it rolled around on the ground until Jody said "get up" for the third time, but even then she was making good progress, because Snape's broom was still there. Stay on the ground without moving.

"Hey, snot, did you stick the broom with your own snot?" James leaned into Snape's ear and teased him, and Jody immediately pulled him over, scowling warningly, then apologetically looking at Snape.

But this time Snape was so nervous that he didn't even notice what James said, just tried again and again mechanically, until the broom successfully jumped into his hand.

After everyone has their brooms, Mrs. Hooch instructs them on how to get on the brooms correctly without slipping off, and the patrol team corrects their movements.After that, under the guidance of Mrs. Hooch, everyone flew off the ground a little bit, and then descended back to the original place. They flew very low to ensure safety.

"This height is about the same as the children's broom." James complained in a low voice dissatisfied. "We should fly higher."

"Come on," Jody said unceremoniously. "We still played that half a year ago!"

Lily beside Jody couldn't help laughing, and James protested awkwardly that she knew they were playing with ordinary broomsticks that their father had spelled, not toy broomsticks that were only for children.Jody's words made him temporarily lose the energy to notice Snape beside him.But Sirius, who was opposite James, saw Snape's nervousness in his eyes, raised the corners of his mouth at him, and showed a mocking smile.

After practicing several take-offs and landings, Mrs. Hooch got on the broom herself and allowed them to fly a little higher, flying around her a few times at a height of ten feet. Only after getting permission could they increase the height of the flight again. .

Snape bit his lip, his originally sallow complexion now looked completely blue, and a fine layer of sweat appeared on his conspicuous nose, glistening in the autumn sun.Under Sirius' watchful eyes, he let the broom carry him up ten feet, but the broom suddenly stopped moving.Right now, he felt that the whole world was spinning before his eyes, and a strong nausea hit his throat.

In the air not far away, James and Sirius had already started flying happily in circles, and Mrs. Hooch had to remind them to slow down.Sirius had apparently shared Snape's humiliation on the broomstick with his friends, and their titters were harsh to Snape's ears.The feeling of being ridiculed stimulated Snape's nerves, and he felt a surge of anger rising from the bottom of his heart, as if he had awakened those unbearable childhood memories.

No one at Hogwarts knew that Severus Snape had a severe fear of heights.Ever since he was tricked into a tree by a neighbor's Muggle boys when he was four years old, he has been afraid of all high places.The boys took the ladder and left him alone in the tree.He cried and asked for help, but no one came to help him. When he was dizzy from crying and his stomach was growling with hunger, he fell from the tree.The magic of the wizard left him unscathed, but it could not erase the shadow left by a child in his heart.

Now, a broom sensed Snape's weakness in the air, and it remained motionless as if to tease him.

After staying in mid-air for a long time, Snape was so nervous that he couldn't feel his heartbeat, as if his soul had left his body, and his vision was blank.He didn't dare to look at his feet at all, as if he would immediately fall if he looked at it.Until a girl wearing a Hogwarts school robe suddenly broke into his vision, the girl's vivid figure brought Snape back to his senses.She was flying in front of Snape, her hair fluttering in the air led him forward like a banner, as if reminding him that Severus Snape is no longer the kid who can only be tricked and tricked up.He will learn to be a powerful wizard at Hogwarts, and by then no one will be able to hurt him or laugh at him.

Snape suddenly had the courage to hold the broom beneath him as firmly as if he were holding his own wand or the handle of a cauldron, and leaned forward slightly.His strong willpower was transmitted to the broom that suspended him in mid-air, and that thing seemed to have sensed that its user would no longer allow it to behave recklessly and disobey orders, and obediently let him control it.

Finally, Snape's broom, like other people's brooms, began to nimbly glide him through the air. Its speed was not fast, but it flew extremely steadily.He raised his head and sat on the broom that he had finally conquered, and no longer shrank his head nervously. Although he still couldn't like the feeling of flying, at least it was no longer so scary and unbearable to him.

Snape, who was sitting on the broom, finally showed a smile. He increased his speed slightly, and caught up with Lily and Jody who were flying side by side in front of him.What color was the "flag" in the hallucination, he quickly forgot to get to the bottom of it.
