[HP] Aunt of the Savior

Although Jody felt that Regulus and Sirius were very similar in some respects, the relationship between the Black brothers who entered different colleges was obviously not very good, and it was far from being comparable to the twins who were used to this state. Compare.

Sirius was unhappy all day because of this, but Regulus' life in Slytherin was quite comfortable.Even if Bellatrix left the school, with Lucius and Narcissa around, no student in Slytherin would dare to embarrass a Black.The Slytherins quickly accepted Regulus into their ranks, warm and friendly, in their own way, and he was well cared for, with an inseparable friend, Barty Crouch, by his side.

Probably because neither Jody nor Snape told what happened on the train, nor did they make fun of his embarrassment and cowardice at the time, Regulus had a good impression of them.He even sincerely apologized to the well-known half-blood wizard on behalf of his brother in the common room, and publicly expressed a friendly attitude.And Barty Crouch also reciprocated Jody's friendly smile and cooperated with his friend's behavior, although the gloomy Snape made the shy boy somewhat intimidated.

Apparently this was very beneficial to Jody and Snape's situation in Slytherin, with the first years maintaining a semblance of politeness towards them, and no one from the other years making fun of them.

Although it's good to have a steady start to the second grade, it also made Jody complain to Snape in an unappreciative whisper: "It's a pity, I still want to find a chance to try the few you used last year." A curse!"

Although Jody and Snape have been studying the Dark Arts for the holidays, the class schedule at Hogwarts is, of course, Defense Against the Dark Arts.

Since Professor Fiennes retired, the professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts this year was replaced by Mr. Columbus wearing a pair of square glasses. The textbook of defense against magic is the result of his research.

The students of the perfunctory Professor Fiennes were looking forward to this new professor, but soon after the semester started, everyone was a little disappointed in him.

Professor Columbus's theoretical knowledge may indeed be very solid. He is very familiar with the inheritance of the black magic system and the knowledge of magical creatures and their own magic power cycle, but he is not very good at practice and teaching.He was neither a powerful wizard nor a professor who could get students interested in Defense Against the Dark Arts.Although he has a good temper, he is extremely lacking in deterrence against these naughty students in the school.

As in the first grade, this year Slytherin's Defense Against the Dark Arts is taught with Gryffindor.The teaching effect of Professor Columbus is comparable to that of Professor Binns, and most of the students can quickly enter a state of confusion in his class.

However, Jody and her two friends, as good students who can get all O report cards in the first grade, are the natural exceptions.Especially Snape, who was even more involved than he seemed in Potions, his favorite class.While Professor Columbus was narrating those obscure contents on the podium, while other students' eyelids were twitching, Snape hurriedly jotted down notes and questions that others could not understand in his notebook in small and dense fonts.

Although good-natured Professor Columbus never blamed the students who didn't pay attention in his class, he also didn't ignore the student who was always the most attentive in his class.Snape soon became one of Professor Columbus' favorite students, and benefited a lot from Professor Columbus's guidance on many issues-in fact, of course, in his research on the dark arts.

Considering their own age and magic power, and also for the sake of safety, Jody and Snape did not touch those dark magics that were obviously too dangerous, aggressive and difficult to control, but focused on defensive magic research.

They were always unsuccessful at first, but since taking Professor Columbus's class, Snape and Jody's research on "Teaching You to Master the Dark Arts" has made rapid progress.Professor Columbus theoretically analyzed the difference between black magic and ordinary magic in the circulation system and inheritance of magic power, and put forward a defense theory on this.This was indeed too boring and esoteric for ordinary students, but for Jody and Snape it was like pointing them in the right research direction.

"The magic power system and application theory taught by Professor Columbus are really useful." Jody stretched his sore arms and sighed with a sense of accomplishment: "But if we haven't been exposed to black magic, I'm afraid we will be like other people. Similarly, Professor Columbus' research cannot be understood at all."

They successfully used a very effective and powerful continuous defense black spell today.The charm is so complex that it not only prevents people from accidentally discovering the room, but also creates hallucinatory counterattacks against intruders and sends an alarm to the caster.With this defensive spell, the empty room that was accidentally selected by them became more and more like a "secret base".Without the guidance of Professor Columbus, it would have been difficult for them to cast this complex spell so easily.

Seeing that the empty room that was originally unoccupied was now more and more securely protected by the magic spell, Snape's expression was extremely satisfied.Hearing what Jody said, there was a look of disdain on his face: "Those guys who have nothing in their heads and only know to sleep all day, how can you expect them to understand the magical powers that Professor Columbus talked about?" theory?"

Jody pouted helplessly.She knew that Snape's words were secretly mocking the performance of Sirius and James in Defense Against the Dark Arts class today.The two of them were comatose for almost the entire class, and in fact they were rarely awake in Professor Columbus's class.

I don't know if it was because they were finally able to successfully use the continuous defense spell today, Jody felt that Snape was in a good mood, his steps were brisk, and he seemed to want to go back to the common room early.She followed Snape into the stone door with some doubts, and suddenly realized that the common room was very quiet today.It wasn't too late for them to come back, but the common room was uncharacteristically empty.

No other students were there, only Lucius Malfoy was sitting alone in his usual place.He still habitually maintains a superior posture, but his attitude today is obviously more cordial than usual. "Miss Potter, Mr. Snape, I'm waiting for you."

Jody looked at Lucius suspiciously.For this senior who is so arrogant to the core, she can live in peace and friendship with him, and even call him by his first name, but her instinct prevents her from really liking this man, even though he has always been very warm and friendly to her.It seemed like something close to a gut instinct, but what happened on Snape's birthday this year proved her instinct to be right.She had been very careful with Lucius ever since, never alienated, but never too close.

"Maybe you've heard some of it," Lucius motioned Jody and Snape to sit down in the two armchairs in front of him. "There are student societies in every house, and of course Slytherin is no exception."

Having said that, he deliberately paused, trying to arouse the curiosity of the listeners.However, neither Jody nor Snape revealed any intention of this.Their vigilance and caution made them look very calm, which made Lucius' expression slightly awkward.He had no choice but to continue talking.

"I applied to the school to form a club before, which is dedicated to the in-depth study and research of some... magic. I have always had relatively strict requirements for the members of this club. I think incompetent people are not qualified to participate Come in, and those who have never achieved any results in the society will be eliminated. A truly outstanding Slytherin should be in this society, and they should learn more magic and master more...power."

Jody suddenly guessed what Lucius would say next.

"So, please allow me to take the liberty of extending an invitation to you two, and I hope you can join in. I think you will like this club. We only have one regular meeting a week, and it is very free." Lucius slipped the The long pale golden hair was pushed back, and the posture was amazingly elegant. "I think you guys have amply demonstrated your excellence over the past year, both in terms of grades and... day-to-day performance."

Lucius raised his head slightly, with a slight smile on the corner of his mouth, and looked down at the two children sitting in front of him with cold eyes.

"I think, I need to think about it." Catching Lucius' gaze, Jody said with a smile on his face, "Of course, Lucius, I'm glad to receive your invitation, but I have to have enough confidence It would be embarrassing to make sure you don't get kicked out again, I think you understand."

"Oh, of course, Miss Potter, I agree with your caution." Lucius nodded very politely and reservedly. "However, I believe that with your ingenuity, you will never be eliminated."

"Thank you, then I'll go back to my room. Good night, Lucius, good night, Severus."

Jody stood up and left the common room.Before leaving, she glanced at Snape's profile, he was sitting there expressionless, making it impossible to see his intentions.But she realized that the greasy-haired sullen boy had expected Lucius' invitation.He was even looking forward to the invitation, and he was obviously tempted by the chance of being fully recognized by the other Slytherins.

Sure enough, just after Jody left the room, Snape spoke in the tone that impressed Lucius last time: "So, Mr. Malfoy, is this a simple invitation to the club, or is it a simple invitation for me to do this?" An invitation for the humble half-blood to be friends with the noble Malfoy heir again, or for some other... reason?"
