[HP] Aunt of the Savior

—This is what happened one night before Snape decided to propose to Jody.Until many, many years later, Snape still didn't know if this was a dream of his.

The feeling of falling, as if accidentally rolling from the bed to the ground, made Snape suddenly wake up from his sleep that night.

When he first woke up, he thought he must be having a nightmare, because the other person was still lying in bed.But then, he vigilantly began to wonder if he had encountered some unimaginable danger.

Because as it stands now, he's alone -- hopefully Jody is okay now, alone in a bed that's completely unfamiliar to him, with a ceiling that's not the same as the one he's used to seeing every day.Even the pajamas he was wearing were not the one Jody had bought him—this one was made of much rougher fabric.

The only thing that pleased Snape was that he still had his wand.He gripped his wand tightly, feeling like he was clutching at a straw in a completely foreign world.This fact, which comforted him, confused him even more.No matter what trap or subterfuge, there was no reason for the other party to still leave a wizard's wand where he was accustomed to take it.

Snape flicked his wand and lit the lights in the room.But even if this is done, the room looks very dark. Snape couldn't imagine who would decorate the bedroom in such a depressing way. The place is dusty everywhere, and the style of the layout is a bit like that of Spider's End house.

Spider's End!The word made Snape feel a tingle in his brain, and he paced back and forth in the room irritably, feeling as if his mind had been stuffed with a lot of things that didn't belong to him, or didn't quite belong to him. thing.

Inadvertently, he suddenly stopped in front of a full-length mirror hanging on the wall.Severus Snape reflected in the mirror looked like him but wasn't him.

He went to the mirror, looked at himself more closely, and realized that he looked terrible in the mirror.He's never been this bad--he looks worse than he's been in the seven years since Jody left.

The good food at Hogwarts and the flesh that Jody took care of him all these years disappeared in an instant, and the healthy complexion that was originally pale and rosy turned into a dull and unhealthy grayish yellow.He touched his cheek in disbelief, the sharp-edged bones even made him feel uncomfortable.Half-length black hair drooped greasy on both sides of his cheeks like a curtain, the lines of his lips appeared meander than usual, and the teeth that were inadvertently exposed were disgustingly yellow.

Snape's fingers stroked the familiar yet unfamiliar face in the mirror, and suddenly he took a step back—he knew where this was, and this was also Severus Snape's room.

It was a strange feeling, Snape thought, knowing that this was his space, but feeling like he didn't belong here.He hesitated and pushed open the door from the bedroom to the office, trying to get rid of this flustered feeling.

The office is also dark, and the bottles of specimens on the surrounding shelves set off the lifelessness and depressingness of this room. The only thing that is the same as his other office is the pile of demons from the seventh grade on one side of the big desk. Pharmacy homework.

However, despite the oppressive atmosphere, Snape was still sure that the owner of this room was himself.All specimens and medicinal materials are arranged according to his personal habits and preferences, and all documents and books are also displayed one by one according to his classification.The only thing in the room that didn't belong to him was the Pensieve on a side shelf.

Snape had seen it at Dumbledore's, and he knew it was Dumbledore's.Dumbledore lent it to himself to...

Just thinking about it brought that feeling of confusion back.Snape was very good at Occlumency, but he had never encountered this kind of situation - the memory didn't feel like his own, but it seemed like his own, it didn't feel fake, but it made him feel unreal.

However, at the moment when he saw the Pensieve, Snape seemed to have some kind of inspiration. He put the tip of his wand on his temple, brushed the greasy hair roots, and let the silvery substance fall into the Pensieve.He pulled out all those strange and unnatural memories that made him feel, and then, he took a deep breath and buried his face in the stone basin.

Snape jumped out of the Pensieve in panic. He looked at the Pensieve in front of him as if he had seen the most terrifying thing in the world. Regardless of the time being less than four in the morning, he waved his wand and used the Patronus A message was sent to Dumbledore: "Dumbledore! I need to see you right away! Right now! Right now! Now!"

Snape felt that he couldn't wait until the next day to talk about it.

No matter what Snape in this world has experienced, he doesn't care what he wants to do, but what makes him unacceptable is that there is no Jody in this world! ?

Ten minutes later, Dumbledore, who was suddenly awakened from the bed by Snape's Patronus, appeared in Snape's office wearing a nightgown with patterns of stars and moons and the sleepy Phoenix Fawkes.

However, even though he was awakened suddenly, Dumbledore was very awake now, and he looked at the man sitting opposite him with a serious expression. "The message just now..."

"Yes, I sent it." Snape replied in a low voice.Feeling that his throat was bitter, he lowered his head in frustration, and even wanted to curse himself for not realizing that he had lost his most precious thing when he first came here, as if this would make him feel better of.

Dumbledore looked at the man in front of him. "But, as far as I know, Severus, your Patronus was originally a doe, just like... Lily. What happened tonight to completely change your Patronus?"

"From the day I was able to send out a physical Patronus, my Patronus is what you saw just now..." Snape waved his arm, and another silver lion appeared.It seemed to sense the master's low mood, jumped and ran beside Snape for quite a while, and then disappeared lonely in the room.

Snape looked at the place where his Patronus disappeared, with a look of confusion on his face: "I'm Severus Snape, but I don't think I'm the one you know, Dumbledore."

He turned his head to meet Dumbledore's blue eyes. "The person I've always loved is not Lily as I told you, but Jody Potter—but what I can't accept is that she never seems to have existed in this world. "

Dumbledore's face showed an expression of surprise that could not be concealed.It was hard for him to imagine Snape declaring to him that he was in love with a Potter.

In the following time, Snape tried to succinctly describe how he suddenly appeared here, how to use the pensieve to separate the minds of the two Snapes, and then he found that the two worlds were very different in many ways, especially James Potter is actually an only child, there has never been Jody Potter in this world...

It was a torment for Snape to tell these things, and he realized that almost all the changes and differences between the two worlds came from Jody.There had been many times in the past when he had felt that he could never imagine a life without Jody, but now, he had actually experienced the world without Jody.

But Dumbledore had to admit that this was the most incredible thing he had ever heard.According to Snape, it seems that there is another world similar to this in a time and space, with almost the same people, but living completely different lives.But even though it was unbelievable, he believed that Snape was not lying, especially about Jody Potter.

"In your world, you and Jody have helped me and Harry to destroy Voldemort?" Moreover, Dumbledore also heard a topic that interested him even more. "Harry survived?"

"Yes, if you're worried about the soul piece in his head...he survived, and that soul piece was wiped out by Voldemort himself," Snape said impatiently.He cared more about how he could get back to his own place than how to destroy Voldemort.

Dumbledore was taken aback by Snape's words. He found that Snape in front of him didn't care about saying Voldemort's name directly, and that Snape knew much more than he expected.

"About the Horcrux..." Dumbledore asked tentatively.If the information provided by Snape is accurate, then the threat posed by Voldemort may soon be completely removed.

Snape belatedly realized that now Voldemort had been resurrected before Harry Potter and the Wizarding World had even done anything.So, Snape here is doing the job of the most dangerous spy ever.

"I can tell you the Horcruxes and where they are stored, but you have to promise, Dumbledore, promise me..." He looked at Dumbledore pleadingly, "Help me find a way to return to my world, no Jody..."

Snape almost used his greatest strength to restrain his emotions and force himself to change the subject. "Tell me about Horcruxes. The first time we discovered Horcruxes was because of Regulus Black..."

"Thank you, Severus, I can assure you that I will do my best to help you return to your original world." His speculation was verified, and Dumbledore became more and more optimistic about the news provided by Snape .But he couldn't help sighing again: "But I regret that I can't make a promise."

"..." Snape pursed his lips tightly and nodded without saying a word.

"Even so... Severus, will you continue to help me protect Harry until I finish destroying the Horcruxes?" Dumbledore finally asked, looking at him.

A sardonic smile played on Snape's lips.The Harry Potter he had just seen in those memories was far more nasty and lazy than the boy he had raised himself, but he was Harry Potter anyway.He believed that no matter what kind of world he was in, Jody would definitely protect that guy, so he would not shirk his responsibility.

"I will."

What Snape didn't know was that even if he didn't like the current Harry Potter, he wasn't as mean as the old Snape.This made Harry, who had just learned that his father and godfather had been so hateful, not hate the potions professor so much.

What happened next went smoothly as it should.Dumbledore destroyed all the Horcruxes according to the news provided by Snape, and Voldemort led Harry to the Ministry of Magic, where he was finally buried in the hall of the Department of Mysteries of the Ministry of Magic.Harry Potter came back from the dead again and became the real savior of the wizarding world.

But things didn't end as perfectly as Snape had personally experienced.Dumbledore, who went to destroy the Horcrux alone, was cursed by the black magic. Even with Snape's help, he could only live for another year at most.Members of the Order of the Phoenix, including Sirius Black, Remus Lupine, and Alastor Moody, all died in the battle of the Ministry of Magic, and Kingsley also lost an eye.

Dumbledore hadn't figured out a way to get Snape back, and Snape occasionally stood alone on the Astronomy Tower, looking into the distance.

"Aunt Jody...what kind of person is she?" Harry Potter ran behind him at some point and asked softly.He seemed to be particularly curious about having an aunt in another world, and always wanted to ask Snape about Jody.

"To me, she will always be the best woman in the world." Snape didn't look back, and he wasn't even answering Harry Potter's question. He looked into the distance, distracted: "I haven't proposed to her yet." , I haven't asked her to marry me..."

Gradually...he seems to be flying...

Harry's voice disappeared, as did the walls of the Astronomy Tower, and Snape found himself lying in his bed again.In her own pajamas, with Jody Potter sleeping next to her.Her sleeping face had been extra sweet since the war was over.

Did he really have a dream?

Snape stared at the lover beside him for a long time, showing a relieved smile, his lips wriggling silently.When she wakes up, he will say that sentence to her - "Marry me..."
