[HP] Aunt of the Savior

Voldemort did not reveal Jody's current identity to the other Death Eaters except Barty Crouch Jr. (and Snape, of course) who knew about it. Professor Badji is Jody.Of course, those former traitors who have only now returned to Voldemort's command are even less qualified to know this secret.

As a matter of course, a considerable number of Slytherin students headed by Draco showed disdainful expressions when they saw Professor Bubaji standing on the podium.They all knew that the professor was Muggle-born and had been, and still is, in charge of the Muggle Studies course.

The Slytherins slouched into the classroom, and reluctantly took their seats quickly when they noticed their new Defense Against the Dark Arts professor glaring at them.

"I don't expect any of you to be satisfied with me running this course, or the way I conduct it," Jody said after everyone was seated.She raised her voice slightly and slowed down: "But I hope you can be more serious, because this course is very important, for... each of you."

After saying this, Jody saw Hermione sitting up straighter with more effort, looking eager.Hermione's serious look always reminds Jody of herself and Lily when she was studying. Among the students, apart from Harry, Hermione is Jody's favorite student.But now, she had to restrain her emotions and let her eyes pass by Hermione almost coldly, just like when she looked at Malfoy or other Slytherins.

Jody's icy stare had obviously worked, and all the students fell silent, including the Slytherins.This way of speaking and tone undoubtedly made them think of a very familiar person.This man had the ability to silence all the students with ease, and now, Professor Bubbaji has done the same.

Draco flinched suddenly in fear, as if remembering how rude he had been to the professor in the past few years.

"Well, let's go to class next." When Jody spoke again, no one dared to make any other sounds, and she tried her best to ignore the disbelieving eyes of Harry and his friends. "Today, we first need to understand what black magic is. At the level of a fourth-grade student, you know too little. Obviously, it is very... Reluctant to pass the OWLS exam at this level."

Harry had been dazed throughout the class, he had always known that Aunt Jody was a powerful witch, but he was still amazed at how well Jody knew and mastered the Dark Arts.He believed that Aunt Jody knew no less than Professor Snape or the fake Moody before him.Moreover, the tone of her description of the dark arts was familiar and full of interest, which made all the students, including the Slytherins, fear her within a class.Harry thought he finally understood why Aunt Jody was a Slytherin now.

"I can't believe this is Professor Bubbaji!" said Ernie MacMillan, who also took a Muggle studies class. "And you see, the relationship between Professor Victor and Professor Bubaji is not as close as it was before Christmas! He must have noticed something is wrong!"

In fact, there are not a few people who think like McMillan. Sometimes even Harry himself has to suspect that Professor Bubbaji in the past few years is not the same person who is teaching them now.

Because Professor Bubbaji showed her proficiency and understanding of black magic, and the Muggle studies class she was in charge of was not as interesting as before.The papers she assigned have become more and more boring, and it is more obvious that the topics of these papers are to analyze the advantages of wizards compared with Muggles from various angles, which is obviously not the performance of Professor Bubaji in the past. point of view.

"I had to, Harry," Jody explained to a skeptical Harry. "Otherwise Voldemort will once again send a real Death Eater to infiltrate Hogwarts as a Defense Against the Dark Arts professor, and I must behave to his satisfaction."

The answer surprised Harry.He always thought that when Aunt Jody saved him from danger, there was no way to go back to Voldemort.But it looks like he guessed wrong.Voldemort seems to have chosen to trust Jody again for reasons unknown to Harry, and Aunt Jody is still in a very dangerous situation - oh, she's even a fugitive wanted by the Ministry of Magic!

"To be honest, I understand Harry's mood. My parents are very busy recently, and I heard that there have been several attacks against Muggles." Neville's round face was full of worry and fear. "The mysterious man is really back. He is planning something. My parents told me not to worry, but...they are Aurors..."

"However, I find Professor Bubbaji's explanation to Harry hard to believe." Hermione frowned after hearing Harry's report. "She saved Harry, will the mysterious man continue to trust her?"

Ron immediately agreed, "If the mysterious man doesn't care about Professor Bubaji saving you, unless he let you go on purpose."

Harry fell silent.He couldn't ask his friends to trust Aunt Jody as purely and firmly as he did.Moreover, they don't know about Horcruxes, and they don't know that eliminating Voldemort is not as simple as defeating him alone.

Under such circumstances, he couldn't help thinking of the thought that flashed through his brain during the previous sleepless night: if, if he could get into Voldemort's mind, he would be able to know where Aunt Jody was. No matter what kind of risk you are taking, you can know how many Horcruxes there are...

Harry's work on Occlumency has become even more intense since the idea came to him.However, he tried to let go of his brain completely for a certain period of time every day, enduring the stinging pain from the scar, and experiencing the connection with Voldemort.

He already understood that what he had dreamed in the past had actually happened.

After Professor Bubbaji behaved differently, Snape, who had just become the headmaster, also took new measures.He began to count the bloodlines of the students in the school according to the student information, and planned to let the students receive education separately according to the bloodlines, in order to "better arrange education according to individual abilities."Moreover, when preparing the admission notice for the next school year, two kinds of notices are prepared according to the differences in blood.

Undoubtedly, this plan was immediately opposed by almost all the professors from the moment it was proposed, and the spacious headmaster's office was packed to the brim with Hogwarts teachers.

"I don't know what you want to do, Severus. This kind of thing is too ridiculous, and Hogwarts will never allow such a thing to happen." The leading vice-principal, Professor McGonagall, stared at Sneaker very sternly. general. "I repeat, I need to see Albus."

She panted heavily, "This is too abnormal, even if Albus fell ill, he couldn't just disappear like this, he couldn't just leave Hogwarts like this, in this kind of... Such a dangerous time!"

"I'm afraid not," Snape replied in a smooth, slightly smug voice that he had often maintained since he became Headmaster. "As I said, Dumbledore is very ill and needs to rest. Compared with facing the Dark Lord in this state, Dumbledore obviously feels that he needs to prioritize his complete recovery."

"I think I should be more judgmental than you on this point, Severus!" Madam Pomfrey was obviously very dissatisfied with this answer, she said angrily: "I am the school doctor of this school. "

"But Dumbledore's illness was caused by the curse of the black magic. I think I have more experience and ability to deal with it." Snape insisted, and he glanced at Jody who was standing aside: "I believe our black magic The Defense Against Magic Professor won't object either."

"Of course, as a professor who just took over the Defense Against the Dark Arts course, I think I need to learn a lot from our principal." Jody immediately interjected, emphasizing the word principal in a very casual manner.

"Oh, Caredy." Professor Sprout looked at Jody in amazement, as if she never thought she would say such a thing.

The headmaster of Ravenclaw, Professor Flitwick, who had been silent all this time, spoke, and the gentleness in his usually high-pitched voice disappeared: "Since both the headmaster and the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor said so, it seems that we don't need to be sorry for Deng. Are you worried about Bullido's physical condition? Considering that Hogwarts has already recognized the status of the new headmaster?"

Jody looked at Professor Flitwick in surprise, and she found that the little professor's performance was a bit unexpected.It seems that he is really a good and standard Ravenclaw - at least he grasped the point at once.Jody believed and hoped that Voldemort would never know this: a headmaster who is not recognized by Hogwarts cannot stay in the headmaster's office.

Lupine remained silent.Knowing Jody's identity, he looked at Snape and Jody thoughtfully.Although he knew they might need to gain Voldemort's trust, what they had done this time was so suspicious that he didn't know whether to continue trusting them.But at least he didn't miss Professor Flitwick's hint: Although suspicious, Hogwarts recognized Snape as headmaster, so they don't need to worry too much for the time being.Moreover, Snape always provided him with Wolfsbane Potion on time.What he is most grateful for now is that Sirius is not at Hogwarts right now.

"Okay," Professor McGonagall finally gave Jody a particularly stern look, his nostrils fluttering in anger.She seemed to want to say something to Jody, but in the end, she only managed to say something coldly. "All right."

The air became stiff and awkward as Professor McGonagall fell silent, and everyone else left, leaving Jody alone.This didn't seem to surprise the other professors at all.

Jody felt guilty for the worried look in Professor Sprout's eyes before he left, but she could only keep silent, pretending not to notice at all.

After the door was closed, Snape heaved a long sigh and sat down behind the desk.The smug and arrogant look he had just now disappeared all of a sudden, and now he looks more like his usual self, no, even softer than that.He was tired of dealing with colleagues and elders whom he had worked with for many years in this way.

"I suspect that Professor McGonagall already knows who I am. She has always known me." Jody waited until everyone had left before speaking again.

"I hope she won't reveal her doubts." Snape glanced at Jody who had changed back to himself. "We all know that we have to make it more obvious, otherwise the Dark Lord will not be satisfied."

"Voldemort probably doesn't want Crouch to leave Hogwarts, but since Crouch has already left, it will be very troublesome to arrange other people to enter Hogwarts. As Dumbledore thought, Voldemort would not object I'm here to teach Defense Against the Dark Arts, especially after I've given courses like that."

"Teaching students about black magic?" Snape, who had heard the rumor that "Professor Bubbaji has become like another Professor Snape", cocked his lips happily. "I guess those ignorant Slytherins are probably scared by you."

He would never tell Jody about the joy he felt when he heard that Professor Bubbaji had turned into another Snape.

Jody laughed too.She stood up, walked behind Snape, and put her hand lightly on his shoulder.His shoulders were as tense as she expected, and even though his expression relaxed, there was no doubt that they hadn't been relaxed recently.So she couldn't help but exert a little force on her fingers, massaging his shoulders and neck for him.Her expression became serious, but her voice was still soft: "Then another thing—how is the situation on Dumbledore's side?"

"It went very well. Grindelwald and Dumbledore tricked the Dark Lord in a way I don't know." Feeling the warmth of Jody's soft fingers on his shoulder, Snape stretched comfortably. Take a shoulder. "The Dark Lord should have believed that Dumbledore was indeed weak."

"Then it's Grindelwald's turn to come on stage." Jody thought of Grindelwald, and frowned worriedly, "According to our plan, he will tell Voldemort that his people will be responsible for guarding Dumbledore and immediately Arrange to send him to Nurmengard, Germany."

"If all goes well, the Dark Lord will definitely take action against the Ministry of Magic before the summer vacation at the latest. As long as the Dark Lord decides to do something, we can act according to the plan at any time. But..." Snape paused, "You must be careful."

"I will, I really wish I could have enjoyed Fudge's expression when he saw Voldemort earlier - although I am still worried that Grindelwald will take the opportunity to hurt Albus, although they may have been close in the past..." Speaking of Grindelwald , Jody was still a little worried.Although she noticed that Grindelwald was cooperating with her and also showed sufficient vigilance and protection to Dumbledore when she seized the Elder Wand, she still couldn't fully trust the one who had been defeated by Dumbledore. dark wizard.Now, she has no chance to spy on Grindelwald anymore.It was she who suggested that Dumbledore and Grindelwald work together, and she believed she was responsible.

"Don't worry, you worry too much." Snape put his hand on his shoulder, took Jody's hand, and pulled her into his arms, kissed her earlobe, and whispered in her ear Side said: "Like the Harry thing, we have to believe that Harry will survive. I know you've been worried about this..." He paused, "Even if you lose everyone, I want you to remember that you still have me .”

"Thanks, Severus." Jody kissed Snape back on the cheek, leaning against his chest.It was the first time he had spoken explicitly about Dumbledore's speculation since she had told him about it.But Jody knew that Snape had tried his best to try, but in the end, he still couldn't find a way to destroy the soul piece under the premise of ensuring that the Horcrux was safe and sound.From this point of view, Dumbledore's idea is already the best.

Snape felt guilty all the time for his own incompetence.But Jody felt that Snape's efforts and presence alone were enough comfort and courage to take the risk.

In fact, Jody and Snape didn't do more intimate things, but the problem was that they forgot that they were not in Snape's office in the cellar, nor Jody's room, but the headmaster's room.

In the principal's office, there is no personal privacy.

"I'm glad to have another Slytherin Headmaster after me..." An inappropriate voice suddenly sounded, the tone was unpleasant to hear: "But I hope he knows what to do in the headmaster's office."

Snape and Jody let go of each other at the same time, and turned their eyes to the portraits of the principals on the wall.

"Phineas!" Many principals condemned Phineas Black's opening, but the tone sounded like he was ruining a good show they were enjoying.

"Ladies and gentlemen," Snape protested dryly, his ears blushing rapidly. "I think you should be clear about what constitutes private time and what does not require ... instructions and assistance from former headteachers."

"Oh, of course we know. But you are so sweet, my dear children." A female headmistress on the wall covered her face with her hands while looking at them through her fingers, saying enviously. "I think back to when my husband and I were young, it was such a wonderful time..."

Jody, who was embarrassed at first, couldn't help laughing even though her face was red.While she couldn't stop worrying until it was all over, the interlude undoubtedly made her more relaxed and more at ease.

Protests by the professors failed to stop the rector's order.Spring is here, and the weather is gradually getting warmer, but people in Hogwarts Castle feel that winter has not left.

Soon, students of Muggle descent were separated into classes, and other professors probably tried to keep the same teaching methods as in the past.But Defense Against the Dark Arts and Muggle Studies - which are now compulsory - have undoubtedly become hell.

Jody's work has suddenly increased. When Jody is too busy, Snape will be responsible for helping her with Defense Against the Dark Arts classes, but for students, whether it is Professor Snape or Professor Bubbaji , are not any different.They all admire the theory of pure blood and love black magic equally.

"I'd say that's over the top." Hermione looked furious as she rushed into the Room of Requirement with a stack of books in her arms.

Hermione, who had never been locked up by any professor before, had been locked up by Jody several times in the past few months, because she protested in class that it was an insult to separate Muggle-born students from other students.These Muggle-born students are going to listen to their Muggle Studies class about how incredible it is that they get magic, and ask them to recall which of their elders or relatives may be a wizard, otherwise their magic is improperly stolen. .

"If one day I have to determine the source of your magic power, I can guarantee that you are my distant cousin." Ron was also obviously dissatisfied that Hermione had to be separated from them, "The Weasley family has many relatives, The Ministry of Magic must not have figured it out."

"Thank you, Ron." Hermione gave Ron a hug emotionally.

"Hermione, I think you should perhaps take my advice," said Harry.

In fact, Jody had already tactfully told Hermione through Harry to try not to protest publicly, and she didn't want to punish this student she liked very much.But Hermione thought it was necessary, otherwise the students would feel that no one dared to resist the current situation.

However, Harry felt that Hermione seemed to have been suspecting that the current Professor Bubbaji was someone else pretending to be.If it hadn't been for Harry's assurance that it was his aunt, Hermione might have taken more steps to make sure.

Unbeknownst to Harry, Hermione had already done this.She was angry because she could only admit that Professor Bubaji was always the same person and hadn't changed.This made the little girl feel an indescribable grievance in her heart.Even if she knew that this was probably necessary, she couldn't keep silent.There are some things that she believes must be fought and cannot be endured in silence, and this is necessary for every side.

In order to comfort Hermione, Harry had to reveal his plan - he planned to go deep into Voldemort's mind. "Don't worry, Hermione, I thought maybe I might find out what Voldemort was up to."

"But Harry, that's too dangerous for you, isn't it?" Hermione calmed down from her excitement.She looked at Harry worriedly, "I think you should follow the instructions of Professor Dumbledore and...well, Professor Bubbaji, keep Occlumency at all times to avoid Voldemort prying into your brain."

"I've been continuing to study, and both Professor Snape and Aunt Jody are good at Occlumency." Harry shrugged, "But I think I should do something, if I'm really Voldemort's old enemy... You said that I had many dreams in which I could see what Voldemort was doing. If I could consciously probe into Voldemort's brain in this way, I might gain something."

"But will you feel bad?" Neville asked with concern. "You get a headache, don't you?"

Harry was both surprised and moved by Neville's carefulness. "It's a little bit," he admitted, "but I think it's worth it to be able to figure out some things."

"Well, what did you do this time?" Ron looked at Harry in horror and admiration, "Oh, spying on Voldemort's brain, I dare say that in the entire wizarding world, apart from Dumbledore, you are probably the second person who dares to Someone who thinks so."

"I try to partially relax my Occlumency when I sleep, and it seems to be working well so far." Harry seriously recalled his vague dreams, "Sometimes I can dream that Voldemort seems to be calling a meeting of Death Eaters , what are they studying, and Dumbledore was mentioned..." and me.

Harry didn't say anything about Voldemort trying to kill him.

"Be careful, okay, Harry." Hermione reminded seriously. "You know if Voldemort gets into your head..."

Hermione said nothing, but Harry nodded emphatically anyway.He didn't want to cause trouble for Aunt Jody or Professor Snape, and he knew that there were many things that Voldemort must never know.

For example, what he wants to know the most... Horcruxes.

That night, Harry had another dream.He'd dreamed a lot since he started his risky venture, but this time it was clearer than ever.He felt that his perspective was very low, and as he moved slowly on the ground, he saw a very familiar place that he must have been to.He looked up and looked around, and he saw Frank Longbottom and Alice Longbottom fighting a group of masked Death Eaters, and then suddenly someone joined the Longbottoms, it was the real Mad-Eye Mu Dee, and Sirius, they fought so valiantly that the house was blown to pieces.Then, he saw a woman with black hair and swollen eyes hugging a little girl, laughing wildly...

Harry clutched his forehead and woke up suddenly. The pain in his head from time to time made him feel like vomiting, but he tried his best to hold back, and the picture from the dream still clearly appeared in front of his eyes.Harry sat up abruptly, fumbled to put his glasses on, and cursed Seamus and Dean to keep them from waking them, fighting back his headache.He first woke up Ron in the next bed, and then rushed to Neville's bed opposite. "Neville, I saw Death Eaters attacking the Longbottoms' house! They also took Nina!"

Neville, who was sleeping soundly, jumped up from the bed. "what happened?!"
