[HP] Aunt of the Savior

Jody understood that Dumbledore was right to be concerned.

Voldemort had quickly adapted to his new body, and his strength was fully restored to his strongest.And his most loyal servants escaped from Azkaban today, and even the dementors who were the original prison guards became Voldemort's companions.

Judging from the current situation, the biggest event in the history of 1995 is likely to be the comeback of Voldemort, who has been silent for 14 years, especially when the Ministry of Magic missed the best time to fight Voldemort.

In fact, on the night of Voldemort's resurrection, Dumbledore wrote a letter to Fudge, not only telling him about Voldemort's resurrection as soon as possible, but also suggesting that he try to provide protection for the legitimate rights and interests of werewolves and giants through the Ministry of Magic, so that Stop them from falling on Voldemort.No matter how active the Order of the Phoenix was in contact with werewolves and giants, the unofficial benefits they could provide were not only limited but also lacked sufficient persuasiveness, which made them obviously at a disadvantage in competing for supporters with Voldemort.

But just like Sirius' evaluation of Fudge at the beginning, the stupid Fudge not only did not adopt Dumbledore's opinion, but also seemed to regard Dumbledore's "illness" as a threat to him, and instead made a firmer public statement that Dumbledore Everything said is nonsense.

Dumbledore's speech in the auditorium was dismissed by the "Daily Prophet" as crazy, and his sudden "illness" made the newspaper attack and slander evidence that his thinking was too confused to bear many positions and reputations.Of course, Rita Skeeter was particularly active during this period.In addition to Dumbledore, she did not forget to sarcasm Harry, accusing Harry of making a gimmick to increase his popularity and attention, and "Dumbledore, who is no longer shrewd and sober, is using an unreasonable I have a special preference for accepting all the lies that this rude boy has spun."

In fact, Dumbledore has lost all his positions except the headmaster of Hogwarts in half a month-the International Federation of Wizards, the Wizengamot, and some who have sincerely begged Dumbledore to join any other institution or organization.And even the one job he now holds is seriously threatened.

Because as soon as Dumbledore "fell ill", Voldemort couldn't wait to order Lucius to intervene in Hogwarts affairs as a school director, trying to drive him out of this position. (“We can’t always have a bedridden old wizard with the responsibilities of Hogwarts,” Lucius claimed in an interview with the Daily Prophet, “especially with the old man’s sanity. Already not sober.")

"I can try to find Professor Slughorn again." Regulus said hesitantly, he was not as sure as before whether Slughorn was really dead. "If he's really alive, we've got to find out."

"No, I think we should look for it." Grindelwald looked at Regulus. "I believe that if he can fool you once, he can fool you a second time."

Regulus blushed at the criticism, "You?"

"Yes, Albus and I, we can find that crafty old slug in the gutter." Grindelwald said, turning to Dumbledore, "I'm sure it's going to be hard for you—leaving you Dear Hogwarts and your precious students, in our plan, you are not 'ill' to stay in Hogwarts as a savior or Patronus. Remember, it is to make Voldemort think I have the upper hand. So I think..."

When Grindelwald continued to try to persuade Dumbledore to leave Hogwarts, Dumbledore interrupted Grindelwald: "I don't think I have to stay at Hogwarts. I believe that even if I leave The school, Minerva, Jody, Severus and the rest of the professors, are still doing a good job of defending Hogwarts and protecting every student."

He didn't give Grindelwald another chance to interrupt, and looked at Jody seriously: "Voldemort's plan is to let Severus take over my position?"

"I think so." Jody thought about it seriously, "Compared to Professor Bubaji, Dean Slytherin is obviously more suitable to take over the post of headmaster. But before confirming that you are really dead, Voldemort may not make a fuss Action - according to what Severus told Voldemort, this date is at least a few months away, and we'd better find out how many Horcruxes Voldemort has made before then, or better yet - get rid of it. "

"Since Voldemort is eager to control Hogwarts, it is obvious that he is trying to control Hogwarts to prepare himself for his reappearance in front of the world." Dumbledore thought for a while, "Even if Alastor recovers health There is still a lot of work for the Order of the Phoenix to do, and Hogwarts may need to find another Defense Against the Dark Arts professor. Jody, I think maybe you can take up this position temporarily."

"I'd love to." Jody froze for a moment, but then understood what Dumbledore meant.She gave a rather evil-looking smile. "I'm sure Voldemort would be very willing too."

Compared with Voldemort's design and arrangement of a Defense Against the Dark Arts professor, Dumbledore's arrangement is obviously more satisfactory to both parties.

"Yes, this will better help you and Severus protect Hogwarts under the threat of Voldemort, but I am afraid that other professors will not understand your behavior..."

"I understand." Jody nodded, showing a wry smile.

Even the vice-principal, Professor McGonagall, didn't know the inside story of this plan, and Dumbledore's insistence on only treating Snape after "illness" made the school doctor Madam Pomfrey very suspicious.In fact, Jody believed that her former professors had begun to doubt Snape's current position-except for Dumbledore, I am afraid that few people could firmly believe that Snape would not vote for Voldemort again.Under the circumstances, Jody was happy to be suspected along with Snape.What's more, compared to when he deceived James in the first place, now that Harry knows the inside story is enough to comfort her.

Harry... thinking of Harry made Jody feel another small sharp pain in his heart.Perhaps, it was time for her to reveal a little about the Horcruxes to Harry, as Dumbledore had once done.

"Also, Regulus, I think maybe you would like to take over the position of Professor of Arithmetic and Divination temporarily? I remember that your grades in this subject are very good." Dumbledore said to Regulus who was beside him.

Regulus nodded with a look of surprise: "Oh, if you think I can do it...Of course I can."

Dumbledore smiled approvingly at Regulus, and glanced at Grindelwald beside him. Next, they might need a private conversation.Grindelwald seems to feel the same way, and they both Disapparate together.

"Jody, who is that old wizard with Professor Dumbledore?" Regulus, who was suddenly forced to become a professor of arithmetic and divination, asked with a confused face.

"—Gellert Grindelwald." Jody glanced at Regulus with sympathy and surprise. "You don't even know him?"

Regulus touched his left arm, which no longer had the Dark Mark, and smiled wryly: "I did write with him to ask him many questions, but... fortunately, I haven't seen him before."

Jody spent a lot of time transforming Regulus into Professor Victor's form.They hurried back to Hogwarts together, and after pointing Regulus to Professor Victor's room, Jody returned to his office.She came back much later than scheduled, which made her steps a little urgent: Harry might have been waiting for her in her room.

Ever since Dumbledore publicly claimed that Harry had witnessed Voldemort's return, Harry had avoided crowds as much as possible.Although all his valued friends believed what he said, the doubts from those classmates who usually had a good relationship with him still made Harry feel a little irritable.So lately Harry either stayed in the Room of Requirement with his friends, or went to Jody's office to stay with her or Snape and continue his Occlumency instruction.

Even Sirius was not so willing to approve of Harry spending time with his old nemesis in private - just read what was written in the newspapers!While keeping an eye on the Death Eaters for the Order of the Phoenix, Sirius even regretted his decision to leave Hogwarts.He really wanted to spend more time with Harry, but from a personality point of view, staying at Hogwarts was obviously not his favorite way of fighting.

"I really don't understand why those people think that Professor Dumbledore and I are lying? Does this lie do us any good? Gain fame and attention like Rita Skeeter said? Who cares about that! As long as he saw those people pointing and whispering past him in the corridor, Harry couldn't help complaining.They had a nice day in the Room of Requirement, but Harry had to accept the gaze whenever he passed the corridor.

"People always accept the reality they like to accept according to their own ideas." Luna comforted him, "People didn't believe that the horned snorkel really existed before!"

After the Yule Ball, Luna naturally joined Harry's friends at Harry's warm invitation, and so far she seems to get along well with everyone-as long as Hermione doesn't question the Snork Or whether the harassing gadfly really existed.

"Hey buddy, honestly I still don't quite understand your... standards," Ron whispered in Harry's ear, though Harry doubted that Luna wouldn't have cared what Ron had said if she had heard it. . "But I would say that Luna is at least good in this aspect...much better than Lavender."

Ron had a close relationship with Lavender in the days after the Yule Ball, but when Lavender once told Ron that she still believed what the "Daily Prophet" said, Ron had a big fight with her One fell out, and the ambiguous seeds planted by the Christmas ball withered completely before they germinated.

"Then how are you and Hermione?" Harry carefully glanced at Hermione who was explaining a spell to Neville. "You haven't reconciled yet?"

"No." Ron frowned at the mention of Hermione.

Ron and Hermione, who listened to Harry's adventures, were unable to tell Harry about their big fight at the Yule Ball night until they quarreled over pointless things while their friends confronted Voldemort. Harry himself had found that Ron and Hermione had been ignoring each other lately (Harry would never tell Ron that he got his inspiration from the little arm he snapped off from that miniature Krum statue Ron saw under his bed).And not even the magical Room of Requirement creates the opportunity for the two of them to resume their old friendship.

But the Triwizard Tournament had been cancelled, and Beauxbatons and Durmstrang's students had left Hogwarts before term started, as had Krum, although he seemed rather reluctant to part with Hermione.But Ron's mood calmed down with Krum's departure, but Hermione was not calmed down.

"Go to Hermione and apologize directly, she will forgive you immediately." Harry patted Ron on the shoulder encouragingly, "I went to Professor Bubbaji's office for dinner."

Harry hadn't been to the Great Hall for a long time since Dumbledore announced the resurrection of Voldemort on the day after Christmas.He was used to putting on the cloak of invisibility when no one was looking after his friends left, and sneaking into Aunt Jody's office for dinner, or staying in the Room of Requirement for dinner.Dobby could always help him prepare all kinds of food and serve it at any time, which made Harry feel like he was being spoiled by Dobby.At times like this, he would find it no wonder how bad Draco's personality had become after growing up under such care.

"Professor Snape." Harry was not surprised to meet Professor Snape in Aunt Jody's office, but today's situation was a bit special.As soon as he walked into the room, he felt the scar on his forehead throbbing with pain. "Well……"

Snape was studying the bewitching spell cast on the Ravenclaw's diadem, and he couldn't help frowning when he saw Harry's headache—this time when Harry and him touched the Horcruxes before. Harry's reaction was obviously different, and Harry didn't feel a headache when he directly touched the diary before.

"What's wrong with Harry?" Jody, who just came back, stretched out his hand worriedly to help Harry rub the scar on his forehead, and asked with concern, "Have you got a headache again?"

"Well...it doesn't hurt so much after using Occlumency." Harry felt a little embarrassed, and in order to divert the embarrassment, he shifted his target to the old-looking diadem in front of Snape: "What is that? "

"It's important that you make Occlumency your daily habit." Jody and Snape exchanged worried glances, looked at the diadem for a moment before answering. "...that's a Horcrux."

Snape was a little surprised that Jody answered Harry's question so directly, but he didn't stop her from continuing, but looked at Jody with a probing look.He intuitively felt that something might have happened today, which made Jody desperately hope that Harry Potter would receive some information.

"The Horcrux?"

"Yes, this is a very dangerous black magic item." Jody took a deep breath: "I think you must remember that diary in your second grade? It was a Horcrux, which means To store a vessel of the soul."

"A piece of soul?!" Harry's eyes widened in surprise. He felt that he couldn't understand the abnormal quantifier used by Aunt Jody.

"Yes, split the soul and hide part of it in something outside the body, so that even if this person suffers a fatal injury, he will not die, because he still has part of his soul left in this world. Jody shuddered at the situation he was describing, "but it's excruciatingly painful to exist that way—I can't even keep a... thing that way alive."

——"I've been stripped of my body...it's not even as good as a ghost..."

Harry suddenly remembered what Voldemort had said to him when he seized the Sorcerer's Stone, and suddenly realized: "Voldemort made a Horcrux, so he didn't die in the first place?"

"Yes, you've seen two of Voldemort's Horcruxes so far. The diary, and the diadem."

"So, he cut his soul into three parts?" Harry felt disgusted just thinking about it, he couldn't imagine how Voldemort would cut his soul, and the thought was enough to make him fold his arms and shrink A touch of the shoulder.

"No, more than three copies... No one knows how many times he has split the soul. Murder can split people's souls, and Voldemort has killed too many people..." Jody finally finished talking roughly about the Horcrux with difficulty. Then he warned Harry very solemnly: "Harry, I hope you don't tell anyone about the Horcrux, including your good friends. It may bring them danger, and the fewer people who know about it, the better." , but you must understand that certain things may indeed have been preordained based on the relationship between you and Voldemort..."

"You mean that prophecy?" Harry said aloud, bewildered. "I thought it was a joke."

"Do you think Dumbledore would tell you jokes on such a night? Do you think he was telling you bedside stories to lull you to sleep?" Snape, who had been silent all this time, finally couldn't help but speak unceremoniously. "You're a wizard, Harry, and of course there are prophecies."

"But..." Harry's lips twitched feebly, "Okay, then, what kind of prophecy is that?"

"Only Dumbledore knows the full content of the prophecy, and there is a backup prophecy ball stored in the Department of Mysteries of the Ministry of Magic... Maybe we can get that prophecy ball and learn everything." Jody raised his hand , rubbed Harry's hair, and seemed unable to bear to say the next words: "About the prophecy, there is only one thing I know - two people can't both survive, one must die at the hands of the other. That's why Voldemort came from You have been deliberately trying to kill you since you were born."

In fact, Jody said this sentence faster than she expected, and she anesthetized herself that this was just a memory specially prepared for Voldemort.She didn't want to admit that she just wanted to let Harry understand the burden of his fate in the gentlest way possible, bit by bit, as if she had to admit that, the next second she would have to take Harry Li pushed out to die.

Her fingers gently slid across the lightning-shaped scar. "When he tried to kill you, he left you with this scar because Lily's sacrifice failed. It created a certain bond between you. That's why we rushed you to learn Occlumency and avoid Voldemort Peek into your brain. That prophecy is not without reason, Harry, you are indeed a pair of old enemies."

Harry stared at his aunt dumbfounded, feeling like his brain couldn't digest what she had just said.For a fortnight they had gotten along as they had done in Cupboard Flat and Laurel Cottage, and Harry was glad she hadn't brought up Voldemort or that ridiculous prophecy again.But just today, after he had a sudden headache, Aunt Jody told him everything before he even asked.

"So..." Harry finally spoke, feeling his voice quiver.He remembered what Voldemort had said about his mother not having to die, yes, because Voldemort wanted to kill him from the very beginning... "I must kill Voldemort, or Voldemort will kill me?"

"You understand correctly." Snape answered Harry's last question in Jody's place.He could see that Jody was suffering from great torment.He couldn't stand it anymore. "So, Harry, you know what you're carrying."

Harry didn't speak.He could feel Aunt Jody putting her arms around his shoulders, as if trying to encourage him.However, he didn't know what to say, and his head seemed to be stuffed with numbness.

That night, Harry lay in bed unable to sleep.He keeps thinking, he has to kill to live!And it's still Voldemort!He wasn't afraid of Voldemort, but how could he be strong enough to deal with a dark wizard as powerful as Voldemort?

He touched the scar on his forehead subconsciously, and a thought flashed through his mind.

If the connection between Voldemort and him could reveal the secrets of his brain.So in turn, can he also spy on Voldemort's brain?If he could, would he be able to find out from Voldemort's memory how many Horcruxes Voldemort had made, and then wipe out Voldemort completely?Is that what the prophecy meant?

Harry felt his heart pounding violently, and he was nervous about his daring idea.He wasn't sure if he should talk to Aunt Jody or Professor Snape first, maybe they wouldn't approve of him taking the risk, but he wanted to try...

After the winter break, all Hogwarts students found that the school had changed a lot.First of all, Professor Dumbledore suddenly announced his retirement in absence (in fact, Dumbledore has never appeared in front of everyone since he fainted last time), and the position of principal was unanimously elected by the school board. By Professor Snape (No one but the Slytherin students is very happy about this news.)

At breakfast time, when the new principal spoke to everyone for the first time, all the students were keenly aware of the unusually stiff and unnatural atmosphere in the teacher's seat.All the professors all tensed up, showing a look of guard, which has never been seen before.

Another change is that everyone has received a new class schedule, and the schedule of the class is different from that of last semester.

Harry's first class this term was Defense Against the Dark Arts with Slytherin.As soon as they walked into the classroom, the students were all taken aback—the one standing on the podium was actually Professor Bubaji who taught Muggle studies.For a split second, Ron almost thought he had misread the timetable or gone to the wrong classroom, or that Hermione had pulled him into his seat—and Harry was delighted to see that they had finally made up.

"I am your new Defense Against the Dark Arts professor, Caredi Bubbaji." Jody stood on the podium as Professor Bubbaji, looked condescendingly at every student sitting below, and introduced himself .
