[HP] Aunt of the Savior

Chapter 31 Slytherin and the Dark Arts

Snape didn't express any objection or objection to Jody's very close move just now as before.Getting along for such a long time was enough for the withdrawn Snape to get used to some of the warm habits that Jodi had inherited from the Gryffindor family.

But remembering what happened in the library just now, the corners of Snape's mouth drooped.After Lily raised the question, James and the others happily planned to make a list to see what evil black magic Voldemort would use, what terrifying creatures he would drive, and how many supporters he had...

... This research direction is too unwise and too ostentatious.But how could he expect those arrogant and reckless Gryffindors to understand how much reason their research on the Dark Lord needed to be careful?

If it weren't for the fact that inquiring about Voldemort in Slytherin was very easy to destroy his hard-won stable life, and if he wasn't eager to know about Voldemort, Snape would never want to find a group of Gryffindors to do something about Voldemort research team.He doesn't want to waste time and energy on these people who refuse to use their brains before doing things!

"Tsk..." He smacked his lips irritably and stared at Jody.It was entirely Jody's idea that this matter got involved with Gryffindor.It was she who had advocated bringing James to help, and James would turn to his friends, as she had expected.But watching a group of Gryffindors go overboard was not part of his plan.

"Don't worry so much, you should believe me, Gryffindor is not as brainless as you think - think about Lily." Regarding Snape's irritability, Jody smiled very understandingly, and she used a Snape would never have refuted examples to convince him. "You know, Gryffindor has never paid much attention to the issue of blood. It is much better for them to find out the news than for us to act in Slytherin. I will not let my brother take risks. If things are difficult to control , I will write to my parents in time, and there will be no trouble."

Jody was very pleased with her solution, which she thought was the best her not-so-twelve-year-old mind could conceive.

After she played tricks in front of almost the entire Slytherin class and achieved unexpected good results, she had already begun to think about what to do next.

According to her original idea, it was to make people feel that she had a close relationship with the Black family and the Malfoy family, so that people would not dare to trouble her again.But later she discovered that the other students feared, apart from the Malfoys and the Blacks, was probably Voldemort who was scary just standing there-they knew that Voldemort would appear in the underground passage that night!

So when Miss Black really left Hogwarts, when she realized that the "protective umbrella" she accidentally borrowed was too big and too dangerous, she could no longer destroy her sense of mystery in the eyes of others— — Now that she can't get information from those Slytherin students who don't know what they have to do with Voldemort, she will ask for information from other house students.And the most trustworthy choice, of course, is brother James, without a doubt.

Snape didn't object to Jody's idea, on the one hand, because he was reluctantly grasped some "weaknesses" that made him start to make concessions to Jody unconsciously, on the other hand, he couldn't think of any more effective way of obtaining information.

Because when meeting Voldemort, Snape noticed another problem.It's just that he didn't tell Jody about this matter. He thought it was his own business and should be left to handle by himself.As for other things, as long as they didn't endanger him, Snape felt that he shouldn't mind too much.

"However, you can remind Lily alone!" Seeing Snape's slightly relaxed brow, Jody happily leaned over and whispered in Snape's ear. "She is different from James and the others. Someone must remind her."

"I'm not worried about those...those guys." Snape cleared his throat, looked away, and quickened his pace. "Lily...well, I'll remind her..."

Jody squinted his eyes and laughed silently behind him. Snape didn't make any harsh irony at the whole Gryffindor or James's mind this time, which was a rare kind of gentleness and candor.

Busy days always go by so quickly, and in the blink of an eye, I can't even see my back.

On January [-]th, Lily's birthday, the Evans family sent a birthday cake for Lily, but unfortunately it was delivered at lunch time, and it was eaten by Lily's friends from the same college at the Gryffindor table. Divided cleanly.Pure Muggle homemade food is quite attractive to many young wizards from wizarding families. For Snape and Jody who didn't even see the cake, Lily felt quite embarrassed.

Snape replaced the gift with a happy birthday, just like at Christmas.Jody entrusted James with the gift to avoid embarrassment or embarrassment for Snape.Jody felt sorry for not being able to give Lily a birthday party, but Snape didn't mind much.It's been a lot better now than when Lily was home to celebrate her birthday with her family and he couldn't even send wishes on Lily's birthday.

Professor Slughorn held another Slug Club meeting in February, but this time he didn't invite Jody or Snape to attend.However, Jody and Snape, who were busy with their studies and wanted to investigate Voldemort's information, were not very enthusiastic about this party, so no one took this matter to heart, especially during this period of time. The progress of Voldemort's research team is not as optimistic. The Gryffindors went as smoothly as expected.

Sirius wrote a letter home to inquire about the situation, and it was no surprise that he received another shouting letter reprimanding him to concentrate on his studies.But afterward, according to him, his parents were very happy that he finally took an interest in the Dark Lord, because they began to write to him again.But when Mrs. Black told Sirius in the next letter that the wedding of Bellatrix and Rodolphus Lestrange was scheduled for July this year, and that the officiant was Voldemort, Sirius was very angry. Things have also been put on hold.

Lupine had some gains. He summed up several dangerous creatures that might be used from "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them", and got some information from his father.It's a pity that he hasn't been able to systematically sort out the information, so he was admitted to the hospital because of his health.When he got out of the hospital, Peter messed up Lupin's notes by using the wrong tidying spell, so that they had to do it all over again.

James got a lot of rumors about Voldemort from other friends-he made a lot of friends in almost every house, except maybe Slytherin-from the mouths of other friends. No more than Sirius had told him in the first place.It was a dark wizard with powerful magic power. Some people suspected that he had something to do with some disappearance cases, but there was no direct evidence.

The most fruitful was Lily.Lily subscribed to the "Daily Prophet", although the newspaper has not directly mentioned Voldemort's name, but the shadow of the Dark Lord can be seen in many things, and there are many articles in the newspaper that target the blood of wizards The issue was discussed, the Ministry of Magic began to discuss whether Muggle-born wizards and Squibs who did not have magical blood should be expelled from the wizarding world, and some people suggested that the dominance should be regained from Muggles instead of hiding the wizarding world as it is now .

What Lily is doing recently is to sort out the reports in the newspapers that may have something to do with Voldemort and those articles on blood, and then bring them out for everyone's reference and discussion.Because of those stupid views, this work often makes her feel bad. Fortunately, some wizards, represented by the principal Dumbledore, have a negative and opposed attitude towards the stupid views of blood discrimination and exclusion, so the red-haired The little witch was able to suppress her anger and continue the job.

Since entering March, the weather has become warmer and warmer, and they can already discuss on the lawn outside on a sunny afternoon.The meeting place sometimes gets afternoon tea snacks kindly sponsored by Gamekeeper Hagrid - although those rock cakes are really useless for anything but teeth.

Today's party topic is about the notes Sirius received.

After a period of time, Sirius finally cheered up and resumed communication with his family. Because he asked about black magic in a roundabout way, his parents thought he could start learning, and sent a copy of the book along with the letter. An Introductory Note to the Dark Arts.

"I guess Voldemort definitely wouldn't use this little jinx, even though it also belongs to the category of black magic." Sirius flipped through the spells on the notes, and made a depressed evaluation with his chin resting on his hand. "He certainly didn't make other wizards afraid of him by making people sleepwalk with pustules on their faces."

"Why did your parents let you learn black magic?" James frowned puzzledly: "Isn't black magic evil? Only evil dark wizards can use it. We even have to take defense against the dark arts!"

"They wanted me to grow up as soon as possible from a very early age, so that I could learn their skills." Sirius told a cold joke. "My parents have always liked the dark arts, probably because our family is the Black family."

"Maybe it's because they're both..." Noticing Jody and Snape, Peter swallowed back the words in time, his voice so small that no one else noticed.But Snape still looked up at him, which made Peter shrink back unconsciously.Although they had gathered together many times, he had always kept Snape at arm's length, seeming to find the gloomy Snape terrifying.

"My parents said that black magic is not only evil, but more importantly, dangerous and terrifying. Some even cause harm to the soul, which is very painful." James emphasized with a very knowledgeable look: "Think about it, using this kind of magic , will definitely make the surroundings gloomy."

A bored expression appeared on Sirius' handsome face: "Your description sounds like the atmosphere in my home."

"Oh, this feels really bad." Lily frowned in disgust. "Black magic! It reminds me of the bad wizards described in Muggle fairy tales. The magic they use is terrible. I was not very happy when I first found out that I was a witch. Fortunately, I later learned that wizards are not what I imagined. Well, not quite like that."

At the end, the little witch cheerfully gave Snape a grateful smile.

"I understand what you mean. I heard my mother tell those fairy tales when I was a child. You all know that she is a Muggle." Lu Ping smiled at Lily soothingly. In the group, he always smiled at his friends around him like this Well, that makes it hard not to like this gentle boy. "Dad also thinks that many of the plots in it are very similar to the description and description of black magic. But some of them are not. For example, the wizard in the story can turn people into stones, but the petrification curse is not black magic."

"Mao Xin in "The Tales of Beedle the Poet" sounds like black magic, but I've never heard of that kind of magic." Sirius seemed to be particularly impressed by the story of Mao Xin. "That's the only thing my mother told me, and she insisted that the wizard shouldn't change his mind just because of the pretty girl."

"What kind of story is that?" Lily asked curiously. "I never knew that wizards also have their own unique fairy tales! I wonder which one is more interesting, the wizard's fairy tale or Snow White?"

Talking about the fairy tales I heard when I was a child always makes the children very excited. In the end, even Peter, who was always timid, began to join in.They were discussing topics that had nothing to do with Voldemort enthusiastically. No one noticed that the silent Snape looked paler than usual, while Jody, who always cleverly brought the topic back, remained thoughtful and silent.
