[HP] Aunt of the Savior

Since childhood, this question has troubled Snape countless times. In his heart, Jody has everything he longs for but doesn't have: an ancient pure-blood family background, a wealthy family background, a pleasing personality and an outstanding personality. appearance.Countless times in the past he'd overheard his fellow Slytherins whispering why Jody Potter always preferred to hang out with that filthy half-breed boy with the ugly big nose and greasy, muddy hair.In fact, that's what he'd always wanted to know.

"Me? Excellent?" Jody smiled lightly and frowned. She could feel that something was wrong with Snape today, but she didn't want to get too obvious about it. "What are you talking about, Severus?"

"I've always been confused..." Snape habitually reached out and stroked Jody's cheek.Jody still maintains the appearance of Professor Bubbaji, but that does not prevent him from describing her original appearance in his mind. "I've been thinking about this since we were students...you're so sweet, not like me."

Jody's face was certainly more beautiful than the face in front of him.Her cheeks should be a little thinner than the current one. It doesn't look as simple and ordinary as the current face, but more shrewd and playful.Her eyes were completely brown, which made her gaze softer and less cold than when he first met her. Whether it was a gentle smile or a haughty sneer, it complemented her facial features perfectly.Jody and James were of course somewhat similar in appearance, but Snape didn't see any problem with his opinion of Jody being diametrically opposed to James'.

He knew very well that her character was not as gentle and harmless as she usually showed, and she was not as clear-cut as Lily.It's not pure white, nor pitch black, just like the gown she wore that year, it's gray with silvery brilliance.This tone attracted him to be obsessed with every detail of her body, and as time went by, he became more and more fanatical and could not bear to lose it.

He stroked her cheek, feeling that what he wanted to say was becoming more and more difficult to say.Not only did she choose him, she even considered him within the scope of her protection.

The polyjuice potion finally began to wear off, and Jody gradually returned to her original appearance. She gently raised her hand, covering the back of Snape's hand, and pulled his hand to her lips, naughtyly using her lips She pecked at his palm and raised her eyes to look at him. "I thought you knew why, Severus."

This sight always made him feel hot, but he pursed his lips tightly, nodded and waited for her to continue.

"Because..." She moved her delicate kiss from her palm to her fingers, and even gently sucked his fingertips like a child. "I know no one in this world is more devout than your love."

Jody said, his eyes could not help but bend.Snape's question reminded her of their first meeting.At that time, Snape, who was difficult to get along with, was different from Lily. Only when he looked at Lily, his indifferent eyes shone softly.That kind of unique tenderness made her feel envy and an indescribable desire for the first time in her heart.She didn't realize until a long time later that from then on, she hoped that the person who got this kind of affection was herself.And now, what she had longed for had been obtained.

"I understand." The expression on the corner of Snape's mouth suddenly softened when he heard this sentence, he stretched out his hand to hold her in his arms, kissed her hair, and sighed contentedly in his voice: "I see."

He got the most pleasing and satisfying answer.She trusted him so wholeheartedly!Then, instead of rushing to confess to her the mistakes he made, let her now taste the blow of being betrayed again, protecting her is a better atonement.Did she think that if she didn't tell him, he wouldn't be able to guess what she might suffer in front of the Dark Lord?If letting her take risks for Harry in the past was just respecting her decision, how could he bear to be protected by her now that he was burdened with sin?

However, just before Snape went to meet Voldemort, another unexpected event happened in Hogsmeade.

Before the Ministry of Magic had come to the conclusion of the dementors' smuggling at Christmas, they did it again on the last Hogsmeade weekend in May.The dementors were running around in Hogsmeade, causing great panic among the students and villagers.

To make matters worse, this time one of the victims was "kissed" by a dementor, and it was a high-ranking official of the Ministry of Magic - Dolores Jane Umbridge.

It was Sirius who found Umbridge, and while he and Lupine were helping villagers ward off dementors, they found the hapless woman lying in a wood near the Shrieking Shack.Fortunately, she was wearing a dazzling pink robe, otherwise it would be very difficult to be spotted.Sirius and Lupine rushed her to the nearby Hogwarts hospital, but it was too late, the dementors had sucked her soul out.She can still be regarded as alive, but life is better than death.

In the evening, Fudge, the Minister of Magic, rushed to Hogwarts in a hurry. This little wizard had a strong physique, but his complexion didn't look very good.Dumbledore and Sirius were waiting for him in the ward.They had just discussed something about the dementors.

"This... is true?" Fudge swallowed, looking at Umbridge lying on the hospital bed: "Dolores was really..."

"It's obvious." Dumbledore looked at Fudge sharply, "She was sucked out of her soul by a dementor."

"...It's such a misfortune." Fudge seemed to be clutching his wizard's hat in his hand, sweat was beading on his round forehead, his expression was tense, and he looked silly. "I mean, it must have been an accident..."

"No, Connelly." Dumbledore's old voice was particularly firm and powerful at this moment. "As I reminded you last time, this is not an accident. You should be vigilant and stop using dementors to guard Azkaban. You are equivalent to using Voldemort's natural allies to guard the people he needs most .Think about it. Dementors have acted without the approval of the Ministry of Magic twice in a row, and now you can't continue to trust them like you used to."

"I said, what happened this time is the same as last time, it was just an accident!" Fudge's face flushed, his expression still looked silly, his expression was paranoid, and he didn't accept Dumbledore's statement at all. "Dumbledore, I have always respected you and believed that you are a great wizard, but you—" He gasped heavily, as if someone had strangled his neck just now, "—you seem to be To overthrow our hard-won peace, people must return to the panic mood of more than ten years ago! You must attribute the occasional mistakes of the dementors to Voldemort, as if that It’s like people who have disappeared for more than ten years will be resurrected tomorrow.”

"Occasional mistakes? If we hadn't arrived just in time, there would be more than one wizard whose soul was sucked by the dementor. Not everyone can use the Patronus Charm! What's in your head, Fudge?" Reese folded his hands on his chest, looked at Fudge with contemptuous eyes and questioned him. "I thought that the Minister of Magic should at least have the ability to judge things. Do you think we would like to make up a lie to add a little different atmosphere to the death of that... woman? Make her sacrifice more noticeable ? Although I'm sure she'd love this..."

Sirius knew Umbridge because Umbridge participated in the trial of Sirius and Wormtail.When he was on trial, this woman always advocated that he be punished according to the original sentence or because of his escape all these years, in order to maintain the majesty of the Ministry of Magic.Sirius was impressed by her disgusting arrogance and phony voice.Of course, what made Sirius sick even more was her flattering face after he inherited the Black family.

Sirius admitted that he really didn't have that much sympathy for someone like Umbridge.He even suspected that the dementor matter had something to do with her, otherwise she shouldn't be there.She had always been very powerful in the Ministry, and he had vaguely heard a lot about her, and it was entirely possible that she could mobilize the dementors.

"How dare you..." Fudge was so angry that Sirius' words turned his face completely purple, but this interruption also made him calm down a little from the excited tone just now.

"Connelly, you should know that he is not dead, of course he may come back." Dumbledore stopped Sirius from saying more blunt words with his eyes, and patiently persuaded Fudge, "Just like I reminded you , Peter Pedilou escaped, and Barty Crouch Jr...."

"But the mysterious man has disappeared for more than ten years! He should have disappeared completely!" Fudge roared loudly. "You always like to trust some crazy... emotionally unstable people, such as Hagrid, such as Barty Crouch old - you believe his son is still alive? He will break the law? Impossible, we all know Crouch How old is Mr. Rauch? He won't do this! But his spirit is sometimes a little trance recently, I suspect that his physical condition can no longer allow more heavy work..."

"You said Mr. Crouch was in a trance?" Dumbledore's expression suddenly became serious. "When did this start?"

"I...I have a lot of things to deal with right now, you know what we're busy with, Dumbledore, that's very important, we can't disgrace the British wizards." Fudge was caught by Dumbledore's rarely serious expression Startled, he took out a large handkerchief, wiped his sweat, and babbled to defend himself, "I believe that other colleagues in the Department of International Magic Exchange and Cooperation can also do such an important job well. Mr. Crouch can't do it alone..."

Dumbledore frowned.Old Barty Crouch probably didn't listen to his dissuasion to leave home and move elsewhere temporarily, and Fudge didn't even notice how important things he noticed.His attitude towards old Barty Crouch is like that of Dumbledore, both reliance and resistance.Now that Mr. Crouch is in a sluggish state, it may be a good thing for him to feel relieved.

"Connelly, I hope you can pay more attention to Mr. Crouch, and investigate why the dementors are out of control one after another." Dumbledore glanced at Fudge, "For the future of the wizarding world, I beg you to be careful A little. He...will come back sooner or later."

Fudge shuddered, and glanced at Umbridge, who was like a pile of dead meat, with a complicated expression on his face, obviously explaining how to cope with a headache far outweighed the grief of his subordinates when they encountered misfortune.He nodded reluctantly, "Okay...Okay! I will send someone to deal with Dolores' matter, and send her to St. Mungo first..."

As he spoke, he walked away dejectedly.

Sirius glanced at his back, "Do you really think he will be wary of Voldemort?"

"I'm not optimistic, but I have to try." Dumbledore replied softly after pondering for a moment. "I hope Connelly can still keep a clear head. This is related to the decision of the Ministry of Magic, and it is meaningful to the entire wizarding world."
