[HP] Aunt of the Savior

The Cushion Charm was undoubtedly a useful spell, but Snape still wrapped Jody in his black robe and held her tightly in his arms, separating him from the worn floor.His lips curled up again, but this time the lines of his cheeks were surprisingly soft, and his voice had a satisfying hoarseness. "I never thought you knew about it...I couldn't tell you, I thought you would..."

would hate me.

Snape decided not to tell Jody about the folly of making a deal with Dumbledore.Perhaps, Dumbledore was right when he said that he shouldn't hide.If he had had a frank talk with Jody earlier, there might have been fewer twists and turns between them.But he wasn't the reckless and daring Gryffindor, and he admitted he couldn't bet on Jody's immediate forgiveness.But now, he doesn't want to assume that things will be better than they are now if he does that.

Snape heaved a sigh of relief. Of all his scenarios, none could have been more satisfactory than the current situation.

"Actually, I didn't know how to completely forgive you at first, even though I knew you were completely unintentional and not as despicable as Crouch." Jody leaned on Snape's chest guiltily. , whispered. "Until I realized how ridiculous it was to hang on to it."

Even though she had soft-heartedly chosen to stay with Snape at the time, she still never knew how to forgive Snape, especially since he had kept silent about it.Moreover, because of this, she did not trust him so much for quite a while, so that she concealed a lot of things.

It wasn't until she faced the possibility of losing Snape that she finally understood that for her future life, forgiveness and forgiveness are far more important than holding on to the past.Maybe she should really thank Hagrid's three-headed dog, otherwise she probably would never realize how ridiculous her stubborn refusal to forgive was.

"I'm sorry," Snape said sincerely again, gazing into Jody's beautiful brown eyes in his arms.He thought that he should say this to Jody solemnly again, but the gesture between them undoubtedly made this solemnity greatly compromised.

Snape's serious look made Jody couldn't help but raised his arms around his neck and kissed him once. The black robe slid down her white shoulders and fell into Snape's arms.

"Cough," Snape cleared his throat to suppress the itch in his throat, reminding himself that time was precious now.He pulled the robe back to its original place, and talked about serious topics as if nothing had happened. "By the way, why did you go to Malfoy Manor today?"

"Severus, you should know how hard it is for us to hide something from each other now..." Jody let out a soft laugh, getting himself a little more comfortable. "I know you have something on your mind recently, so I asked Dobby to help you look after you, but I admit that at first I was only worried that you would go to Voldemort by yourself, and I never thought that you would go to Malfoy Manor to see Crouch."

Ever since Batty reminded her not to trust Snape, Jody understood the reason for her lover's absent-mindedness recently. He must be worried that she would find out the truth of the matter.Of course, just like at the Christmas ball that year, she chose to defend him in front of Crouch without hesitation.And now, it seems like they should be more frank in discussing their plans for the future. "Severus, are you going to find Voldemort?"

"Yes," Snape unconsciously tightened his arms a little more, as if Jody would disappear from his arms. "Joe, I don't want you to risk going back to the Dark Lord again...I want to do it for you." He added an accent to the last sentence. "I can't stand taking risks with a woman I love."

If he didn't explain it this way, Snape was worried that Jody would think it was his compensation or atonement and reject him.Maybe he had thought this way in the past, but now he has to admit that after her forgiveness, his purpose is simpler and purer, which makes him proud.

"But I can't stand by and watch Harry face the threat of Voldemort at any time, and watch you take risks for me." Jody's cheeks were flushed, and she looked at Snape apologetically. "Sorry, Severus. I can't hide."

"Well..." Snape wasn't surprised by Jody's answer, and he kissed her ear. "Then let's go to Little Hangleton to meet him. Joe, you can't protect me according to your idea, and take care of everything by yourself."

"Oh, well, but he's not in Little Hangleton now." Jody could see the persistence in Snape's eyes.She was finally persuaded, and began to confide what she knew about Voldemort's current situation in order to help him return to his rightful place. "Remember what I reminded Crouch today?"

Of course Snape remembered every word Jody said at that time, but it never occurred to him that Voldemort would be hiding in Barty Crouch's house anyway.

Old Crouch went to work at the Ministry of Magic on time every day, and no one found out that he had been cast with the Imperius Curse.And the Crouch house-elf certainly wasn't capable of driving Voldemort out, even though he didn't even have a proper body right now.

Although no one seems to have noticed what happened to the Crouch family, but because of Jody's reminder before leaving, Barty Jr. finally chose to summon the house elf of the Crouch family, and immediately left Marlboro without saying goodbye after asking about the situation. Fu Manor, back to Voldemort's side.

Jody and Snape arrived a little later than him, and Wormtail led them to Voldemort like a servant.

"Master, I'm back." With a wild smile on his face, Jody led Snape into the Crouch's living room.Barty Crouch Jr. and Wormtail stood on either side of the armchair Voldemort was in. The huge python hovered around Voldemort's chair, threatening to spit the letter when it saw Snape.

When he saw Jody and Snape walking in one after the other, little Barty's face twisted immediately, and the joyful expression he had just now disappeared all of a sudden.

"Ah, Jody, let's wait a moment for our business and see who you brought me today... Severus, my friend?" Voldemort's voice was lazy, as if he was not satisfied with Snape's appearance. Take it for granted.In fact, maybe only he himself knows how excited he is now: he just needs a wizard with excellent talent in potions to serve him. "Since Jody can bring you to meet me, you are still loyal to me, Severus?"

No matter how he looked at it, he couldn't leave everything to Jody.Of course he could instruct Wormtail in making potions, but Wormtail was too clumsy, and Snape was definitely the man he needed right now, as long as Snape was still trustworthy.

A year on the back of Quirrell would have given Voldemort confidence in Snape's loyalty, especially when he found out that the magic mirror was hiding a fake Sorcerer's Stone, but Harry Potter had no confidence in Snape's loyalty. Snape's trust still shook his confidence a bit: that clever boy trusted his servant so much, of course it couldn't be for no reason, could it?

"Master." Snape knelt down in front of Voldemort's armchair and raised his head. He was not afraid of Voldemort's terrifying appearance, and looked straight at him. There was a hint of restraint in his usual indifferent tone. Excited taste. "Of course I have always been loyal to you, to the path we aspire to choose, even though..." Snape's face twisted, "even though I have accepted Dumbledore's protection all these years."

"Yes, my faithful and honest Severus." Voldemort's tone was full of sarcasm, "You are a smart Slytherin, of course you will choose what is best for you, don't you? Since the leader of the lower ribs is so merciful How can I believe that you have not offered your allegiance to him if he is willing to protect you?"

said Voldemort, gazing at Snape with his blood-red eyes.In Voldemort's eyes, Snape's Occlumency Technique was too fragile. He clearly saw how Snape confessed that he had killed Lily, and then easily got Dumbledore's tolerance and forgiveness. Offered to get a teaching position at Hogwarts, but Dumbledore was unwilling to give him the position of Professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts... Then there was the Sorcerer's Stone, Snape tried to steal the Sorcerer's Stone with Quirrell , threatened Quirrell in the forest... Of course this memory is true, he had heard this conversation with his own ears, right on the back of Quirrell's head...

For a moment, Voldemort even felt a little regretful.If he had chosen to trust Snape, perhaps he would have succeeded in getting the Philosopher's Stone.

Snape's face turned pale, and sweat broke out on his brow.The powerful Legilimency put a little burden on his body, but it was much better than the Cruciatus Curse.When the tingling in the head went away, he knew he had tricked Voldemort.

"I will always be loyal to you, my master, and I will not change my belief." Snape said hoarsely, letting the sweat on his forehead drip down to his feet, "The reason why I stayed with Dumbledore is because I just want to bring you more valuable information."

"Is this a gift you brought me?"

"No, it's more than that. I've also prepared all the potion ingredients you need, my master." Snape said respectfully, bending down without any timidity. "You can get a new body at any time, and as long as you agree, I can immediately brew the potion."

"Yes, I believe in your abilities, Severus." Snape's words made Voldemort snort in satisfaction.He breathed a little tired, and Wormtail immediately helped him adjust his posture, "But I still lack one material... Jody, how is your situation?"

"Everything has been arranged for Grindelwald, and he has agreed to fully cooperate with you and cooperate with all your plans. However, Grindelwald has put forward a condition to you, master." Jody said.

"Conditions?" Voldemort's voice was a little displeased, which made Wormtail very nervous.

But Jody wasn't alarmed at all, and her voice was very calm. "He proposed that you hand over Dumbledore to him after the victory." She cocked her lips. "Grindelwald said that he would imprison Dumbledore in Nurmengard himself."

"Ah, quite an understandable request." Voldemort smiled reassuringly, the smile was creepy. "My friends, we'll have everything back soon, won't we?"

"Yes, master." All the people present knelt at Voldemort's feet very naturally. "We will definitely prepare everything for you."

"Very good." The meatball-like thing in the chair let out a disgusting laugh, as if as long as tomorrow he could rule the entire wizarding world again.
