[HP] Aunt of the Savior

This confession was too difficult for Snape, who had been trying desperately to form words in his own brain until Jody came back.After so many years of evading the issue, he felt even more inarticulate than usual.

He didn't know how long he had been waiting alone—maybe it was just a moment, or it might have been a long time—and he finally heard the sound of Jody and a Hufflepuff student talking about homework outside the door (they were discussing about Ma The similarities and differences between melons and wizards' means of transport seems to be a paper assigned by Professor Bubaji to a certain grade), but he is sure that Jody will notice the little mark he left on the door, and will not Let the students in.

Sure enough, after the student left, Jody walked into his office.But after there was no one else present and no need to pretend, her tone was obviously a little irritable: "Severus, oh, why are you standing there? There seems to be some trouble for Albus to ask us to see him."

"Trouble?" Snape's words rolled from his lips to the depths of his chest.

"Yeah, I hope it has nothing to do with Harry..." Jody hurriedly put the thick stack of parchment on the desk, turned around and gave Snape a strange look who was obviously absent-minded. "Severus?"

Snape coughed lightly, tapped himself with his wand, and cast the Disillusionment Charm on himself. "I'll come."

On the way to Dumbledore's office, they kept a little distance.Snape didn't know whether to be thankful or depressed about being interrupted, it made him uncomfortable.He didn't know if Jody had noticed his abnormality, and it was rare that he actually wanted her to ignore him because she paid too much attention to Harry Potter.

"Jordy, Severus." Seeing Jody and Snape walk in, Dumbledore nodded to them, signaling them to sit down.His expression looked less relaxed than usual, and his brows were slightly frowned. "I just received a visitor that surprised me. I think I should tell you the news—according to Mr. Barty Crouch Sr., Mr. Barty Crouch Jr. is still alive."

Jody gasped.Like Snape, when she heard the news, she realized that Barty Crouch Jr.'s so-called "death" was just a jailbreak.

Dumbledore stroked his long beard and explained what had happened, with mixed sighs in his words: "No one would have guessed that Mrs. Crouch would willingly take Polyjuice Potion instead of her son and be buried in Azkaban, and then, Mr. Crouch took Barty Crouch Jr. home and kept him in secret. But recently, Barty Crouch Jr. escaped from home."

Dumbledore knew very well that Barty Crouch Jr. did not escape just yesterday. If Barty Crouch Sr. could find his son by himself, he would never come to him for help.He probably knew very well what his son would most want to do when he was free.

Compared with Jody's unbelievable expression, Snape's performance was obviously a little "indifferent".It wasn't until Dumbledore's eyes turned to him that he cleared his throat uncomfortably, "I just found out about this - the person who helped Barty Crouch Jr. escape was Lucius Marr blessing."

"That's why Lucius came to you?" Jody rarely showed unhappiness in his voice. "Just to show off that he got Barty Crouch Jr. out?"

Snape wasn't surprised, he knew Jody didn't like Lucius.But he didn't know if it was an illusion, he felt that Jody's voice seemed colder than usual. "No, he...brought Barty Crouch Jr...." He hesitated for a moment, but still said: "Crouch wants to contact Jody through me."

"Then maybe I should go see him and tell him not to act casually for a while." Jody hid the embarrassment that flashed across her face and glanced at Snape with a tense face. She felt that now she found Snape Pu had some reasons for being absent-minded just now.She frowned and said: "This will at least prevent Voldemort from getting another helper. Barty Crouch Jr. is much more capable than Wormtail. On the other hand, with Wormtail taking care of Voldemort, Barty Jr. Enough time and energy to deal with Harry, it's going to be dangerous for Harry."

Snape's lips twitched, but he didn't speak.

"This is exactly what I want to discuss with you." Dumbledore crossed his fingers and rested his arms on the large desk. "The purpose of Voldemort's kidnapping of Harry is to get his blood to resurrect him. He must have figured out what kind of spell Lily used to break the spell, which caused him to fall into the biggest predicament in his life. Voldemort believes that he wants to deal with Harry, he must first break the protection of Lily's magic left in Harry's blood, he must get Harry's blood to make him stronger than before, not like the dead Quirrell, who can't even touch Harry's skin."

"So we must never let the Dark Lord take Harry Potter," said Snape.Luckily the potion that helped Voldemort recreate his body required the freshest blood, otherwise they would have had more to worry about - Harry was so vulnerable it was easy for someone to steal a bit of blood.

"No," who knows, Dumbledore shook his head unexpectedly at Snape's words. "Actually, I have a very risky guess about that piece of Harry's body..."

"Albus, have you found a solution?" The way Jody leaned forward eagerly made people suspect that she might bounce off the chair at any moment.

"I do have a conjecture, but this conjecture is quite... dangerous." Dumbledore did not show his usual soothing expression. On the contrary, he spoke slowly and solemnly, with a very serious expression. "Jody, I don't even know if I should tell you this conjecture, but I think if Voldemort really used Harry's blood to resurrect, it might not be a bad thing for Harry."

Looking at the puzzled look in Jody and Snape's eyes, Dumbledore's tone was as patient as he used to give them alchemy lessons, "Voldemort thinks Harry's blood will make him stronger, If Voldemort used Harry's blood to resurrect, then the magical protection left by Lily's sacrificed life flowed on both of them at the same time. In this way, as long as Voldemort is alive, Harry will not die."

The office was surprisingly quiet, Jody and Snape's breathing became softer than the portraits on the walls, the Sorting Hat, which always liked to hum, kept it amazingly quiet, the only sound in the room was Phoenix Fox A small piece of cuttlefish bone was gnawed on the perching branch, making a slight clicking sound.

Dumbledore waited patiently for Jody and Snape to accept and digest this amazing idea he had put forward.He can fully understand how they feel now.This is indeed hard to believe.If he could, he didn't want to express such personal conjectures at this time, and even now, he didn't express all of them.

However, after vaguely learning about Harry's Christmas experience, Dumbledore realized that if he did not tell this matter, Jody and Snape might protect Harry desperately, even at the expense of themselves , nor did Voldemort have any chance or possibility of getting Harry's blood to reshape his body.He had no doubts that the two young men in front of him had such abilities.

It took a long time before Jody recovered her voice, but she could hear it herself, her voice was visibly trembling slightly: "So, we should let Voldemort capture Harry? But if your idea is wrong , Albus, you know the outcome..."

"It's really risky."

"Then I think it's time for me to go to the Dark Lord," said Snape. "As a Hogwarts professor, I have a great advantage. I can bring Harry to him, and then..."

"No," but Jody quickly interrupted Snape, and without waiting for Dumbledore's response, she said immediately, "No, I think it's better to leave this matter to Barty Crouch Jr." Appropriate. If Severus brought Harry before Voldemort, Barty Crouch Jr. would have time to do other things, which might interfere with our plans with Grindelwald."

Upon hearing Grindelwald's name, Dumbledore narrowed his azure eyes slightly inconspicuously behind the half-moon lenses. "so……"

"I can go see Barty Crouch Jr. during the summer vacation and take him to see Voldemort. This way, they will need a little time to find a way to get close to Harry, who is more suitable to return now than Severus." Coming to Voldemort will not interfere with our plans."

Jody said while thinking, "And I can seize the opportunity to participate in his plan to ensure that Harry will not really be in danger. And..." She glanced at the wand in Dumbledore's hand. "I hope to revive James and Lily as soon as possible."

Snape frowned tightly, staring at Jody's focused profile.He couldn't believe that he was so slow and didn't notice her intentions before today.

"I have one more thing to do. After that, I can hand over this wand to you. I hope you can successfully resurrect them. I believe that if this thing is really successful, many people will be happy for James and Lily. Glad—" Dumbledore finally had a smile on his face again, "However, we'd better keep it a secret about their resurrection from the dead."

"I understand." Jody smiled back at Dumbledore.She understands how appalling it is to bring people back from the dead, and it can even cause a sensation in the whole world. "At that point we can say that Voldemort didn't completely kill the Potters in the first place, they were just badly wounded and never woke up."

Dumbledore nodded reassuringly.

Although they didn't talk too much about Grindelwald, before leaving Dumbledore's office, Jody finally couldn't help asking a question she wanted to ask just now: "By the way, Ah Don't think about it."

"Ok?"

"Will Grindelwald leave Nurmengard?" She tried to make her tone as natural and natural as possible, rather than deliberately inquiring about the old wizard*: "I told Voldemort that the German side is arranging Grindelwald Jailbreak, but..."

But how can you possibly break out of a prison who doesn't want to leave it?Jody was keenly aware that even though he was determined to cooperate with Grindelwald, Dumbledore still avoided talking too much about Grindelwald these days. His way of changing the subject was so clever that it was almost hard to detect to this point.

"I think..." But this time, Dumbledore answered quite bluntly. "He will."

Jody looked at Dumbledore unexpectedly, but this time, Dumbledore didn't look at her.Jody was only thinking about Grindelwald, completely ignoring the impatience on Snape's face, until he cast a Disillusionment Charm on her too, and then dragged her all the way back to Snape's room in the cellar.

"...Why?" Snape couldn't help asking loudly as soon as he entered the door.He finally realized clearly that the details he felt before today were not his illusions.Jody was indeed trying to prevent himself from returning to Voldemort's side.He thought, he understood very well why she did it: as she had said before returning to Voldemort, the people she wished to protect now were not only Harry Potter, but Severus Snape .

But that was exactly what Snape couldn't accept.Neither out of masculine pride nor in the person of Jody Potter could he bear to hide in a safe place and watch her go off on her own adventures.What's more, he has been hiding that matter from her. He once betrayed her, and once caused her to lose her relatives and friends...

"Why?" Jody stared at Snape in bewilderment, her eyes full of puzzlement.She could guess that Snape didn't want to be protected by her after discovering her plan, but she didn't understand what he was asking this question at all. "what why?"

Oh damn.Snape cursed himself inwardly, how stupid he was. "No, it's nothing." He tried to redeem quickly and rigidly, but finally sighed when he met Jody's eyes, and asked self-destructively: "Sometimes I often think, Joe, why are you so outstanding? choose me?"
