[HP] Aunt of the Savior

The busy and fulfilling time always passes quickly. When the snow covers the whole of Hogwarts and the water of the giant lake is frozen into a smooth mirror, Christmas is not far away.

The winter at Hogwarts was very cold. Even if the students all put on thick sweaters and robes, scarves and gloves, they couldn't resist the icy wind that passed through the castle walls and seeped in through the cracks in the stones.The fireplaces in all the rooms burned hotter, and the chairs by the fireside in the common room were in high demand.

...What Mom and Dad said will also happen in the Slytherin common room!Facing the battle for the armchair in front of him, Jody thought leisurely.

Since Snape's previous intimidation in Slytherin hadn't completely dissipated, he and Jody both got a good position.Even Doris followed suit.This reduced her fear of Snape, who was very afraid of the cold.What's more, Miss Black hasn't been around the Slytherin common room lately.Not only Doris, but even Jody was relieved about this matter.

Snape's age-beyond potions hadn't been shown to anyone except the last time he used them in self-defense, but Professor Slughorn was clearly paying attention to his performance in class.So Snape later gave up his plan to keep a low profile in the Potions class, and every time he finished the potions required by Professor Slughorn quickly and well, so that the old man could get his wish for his college. point.

Perhaps it was because of what they had been exposed to while getting along with Snape, or because of the competitive spirit of the three children. As Snape's friends, Lily and Jody both learned potions well.Lily became the top student in Potions in Gryffindor, even though she blushed to tell her friends that the Gryffindor classmates were not so good at this kind of delicate subject that enabled her to do well in Potions class. Despite the limelight, her friends were proud of her accomplishment.

Compared with Lily and Snape, Jody is good at subjects that can make the entire Hogwarts students admire her very much in a sense.Her specialty is history of magic!

Professor Binns, who taught History of Magic, is a ghost. His obsession with teaching his courses made him still teach in this school after his death, but this does not mean that this can make his courses more vivid and interesting.Listening to Professor Binns dryly read the textbook in the history of magic class, it is impossible not to make the sleepy little ones who are already in the growing period fall asleep.There are only a handful of students who can persist in staying awake until the end of get out of class, and Jody is one of them. She can persist in taking down all the notes in the history of magic.In fact, it is thanks to Miss Bagshot's gifts over the years that Jody has developed a very strong interest in the history of wizards.

And James had finally gotten used to the fact that his sister had made a friend he didn't like.He started ignoring Snape as much as possible, but he didn't forget to invite his sister to join him on his days off.James felt that Sirius, Lupine, and Peter were obviously better than Snape the Snot.However, he wisely did not express his thoughts, so as long as there were no other arrangements, Jody did not refuse his brother's invitation as usual, even if James' purpose was to copy homework.

From the perspective of never being used to sharing, James is actually a good brother. He habitually shares everything he has with Jody, including the love of his parents and all his friends.But just like the example where I wanted an apple but you insisted on giving me a pineapple, he didn't consider that his sister, whose interests and personalities were completely different from his own, wanted different friends from him.And Jody, who was used to being responsible for keeping his brother's nonsense within a certain range since childhood, never realized it.

As the weather turned colder, Professor Slughorn began to stay in his office as much as possible except for teaching. Even his job of counting the detention list as the dean was thrown to the prefect Lucius and Narcissa.Lucius was not surprised by the dean's lazy behavior.He was already in the fifth grade, and he was already very familiar with Professor Slughorn's style.The professor's years of teaching at Hogwarts can be compared with the current headmaster Dumbledore. Such a long teaching experience makes him very good at how to reduce some of the workload for himself.

As far as Lucius is concerned, all he cares about is that this tedious work falls on him this year.But of course Malfoy, who is proud of himself, will not be as stupid as others to ask students one by one whether they want to stay in school or go home for Christmas.He was going to put a notice on the bulletin board reminding all the students who weren't home for Christmas to remember to register with him.Narcissa, of course, was in favor of this plan, and she was even more impatient with such trifles than her fiancé.

Lucius wrote the notice on high-grade printed parchment in his unique cursive script, and signed the prefect at the end.

"Lucius, will you attend the Black family's banquet this Christmas?" Narcissa also signed her name on the parchment that Lucius used to write the notice.Her expression was very happy, and there was both her own and Lucius' signatures on a piece of parchment - she remembered their engagement contract - which made her feel light and light.

"Of course." Lucius kissed his fiancee on the forehead. "Why wouldn't I go? Am I supposed to give away the right to dance with my lovely fiancée?"

"Oh, Lucius." Narcissa gave Lucius an elegant hug, then waved her wand, and posted the notice written by Lucius on the bulletin board. "I'll be looking forward to your arrival."

"Fortunately, Bella finally gave up the idea of ​​teaching Miss Potter a lesson, otherwise I guess she wouldn't welcome me to the dinner party at Black's house." Lucius looked at the notice posted by Narcissa and adjusted it with his magic wand to see if it was correct enough. , and finally cast a little magic on it, making the whole parchment shine with silver and green light, looking gorgeous and Slytherin-like.

"Yeah, after she saw Raymond and Benedict that day, she changed her mind. She felt that it was unwise to always haggle over a little girl for the sake of her own beauty." Nancy Sha looked at the notice that the two had worked together with admiring eyes, and when she mentioned her sister, she was completely teasing. "She thinks that should be a little protection from the Potter family to Snape."

"Heh..." Lucius chuckled thoughtfully.Bellatrix is ​​always so simple and rude in thinking and doing things. If it was Narcissa, she would never make such a judgment without knowing it—he is glad that he found the best in the Black family. one.

Bella is very powerful, but unfortunately she has no brains at all.Facing the bulletin board in front of him, Lucius' smile looked a little gloomy.He thought of the half-breed boy, who wasn't one to rely on others for protection.Bella only judged from blood, and it was obviously too narrow to simply regard the little girl of the Potter family as his protector.Of course, he would never reveal to anyone that he lost a game against Snape, but at the same time, it also made him appreciate and value Snape even more.

Lucius took pride in the fact that he hadn't lost his ability to think rationally because of his losses.Merlin would appreciate his Malfoy sanity too!

He swore he would not repeat the same mistake.So he asked Narcissa to appease Bellatrix, while he suppressed some senior students who were interested in dealing with Snape.Since the last failure, he had added Snape to his plan.This time he'd be more cautious, lurking in the shadows like a Slytherin icon, waiting for the right moment to strike.

That beautiful notice has attracted the attention of all the Slytherin students returning to the common room, but as the most important holiday to spend with their families in a year, few people choose not to go home for the holiday——Lu Hughes was glad that he didn't ask stupid students one by one.

Jody has been looking forward to going home for Christmas since the end of November. She feels that she has never missed her parents as much as she does now.Although she could ask Liz to deliver letters home for her, and the Potters would earnestly reply to their young daughter's letters, no amount of correspondence could make a little girl who grew up under the love of her parents feel homesick.

So Jody can't imagine that there will be students who want to stay in Hogwarts for Christmas. She didn't take it seriously when she saw this notice, let alone the black-haired boy next to him who was almost seeing the notice. In an instant, he made a decision to stay.

When Snape found Lucius, Lucius and Narcissa were sitting in their usual place in the common room, reviewing their lessons. It was one of the best seats in the common room, warm without being scorching.They have to prepare for OWL exams this year, and even if their future does not depend on these certificates, there is no doubt that they cannot bring back a humiliating result.

Snape stood in front of Lucius hesitating how to speak - the last time he got along with this prefect was not very pleasant.

Narcissa let out a cold snort of urging, she didn't like being disturbed when she was with her fiancé.Lucius patted the back of her hand reassuringly. He had already noticed Snape standing there, but the other party didn't speak, so he kept his mouth shut with ease.

"Mr. Malfoy, I'm here to register with you. I'll be staying at the school for Christmas." Snape didn't make them wait too long, he whispered quickly.

"Okay, if that's your plan." Lucius took out the registration form, making room on the table for Snape to sign. "Merry Christmas to you, my friend."

Snape, who had bowed his head to sign, suddenly raised his head as if he was electrocuted when he heard this blessing.Lucius' blessing was actually not that sincere, but at least it seemed a little sincere without the condescending arrogance before.In fact, the black-haired boy cared more about what Lucius called him. Lucius knew this very well, but he just kept that smiling face that seemed to have been cast with a stereotype, without revealing any extra information.

Finally, Snape nodded stiffly. "Thanks."

As Snape turned around, Lucius' voice sounded like he was talking to himself from behind Snape.

"Don't disappoint me, little one."
