[HP] Aunt of the Savior

Snape frowned in self-hate.It never occurred to him that he, too, could be a heartbreaker.Maybe he'd rather have Jody throwing a tantrum at him, or... no, he doesn't want her to leave, never... But maybe that's for the best?At least she won't be sad because of him, won't she?And this way, he won't make the same mistakes again, won't look like a jerk anymore...

An irrational assumption made Snape completely lose control, and he suddenly wanted to push the girl away from him, as if this would prevent him from causing any harm to her.His mouth began to spit out harsh words without thinking. "Even if you did that... I don't need to personally explain to you the reasons for everything I do."

Snape's face contorted, and it seemed that he was about to vomit out of his stomach with the guilt that had clotted into a lump, but he looked away from her, and continued to speak mercilessly: "What the hell What made Miss Potter feel that no matter what happened, your friend had to explain everything to you? Maybe it was because of some things we have experienced together before, which gave you some illusions? "

This was already the meanest speech he could think of at the moment.He'd even used Miss Potter's title again—after all, he hadn't called her by that word since Jody corrected him.

Even so, Jody's face was still calm. Facing Snape's harshness, she did not show the slightest bit of resentment as he imagined, or fight back at him with her usual cleverness, cunning and eloquence.

The room was unusually quiet, filled with a suffocating silence, which gradually cooled Snape's emotions.He's starting to realize how much he's said, no, he's understood from the beginning how much he's said.He did it on purpose, didn't he?He was annoyed because she got along well with others, and he was secretly happy that she didn't fully blend into the sunshine. He was even selfish because she would fight back against him every time and was never as careful as she was with Lily, until the end , he decided to push her away completely to prevent her from being hurt again - after she was already sad.

oh!Severus Snape, you're a Snape, you're still a bastard, aren't you?Snape cursed himself inwardly, bowed his head, bit his lip to suppress the trembling of his body.

"Have you finally vented enough of your unexplained bad temper?" Just when Snape was almost overwhelmed by this silence, Jody finally spoke, and especially emphasized the four words "unexplained reason" .

Jody was amazed that she could speak so calmly—she almost thought she'd just raise her hand and throw a slap or a curse at this guy's face.Even if she did realize that she had uncontrollably exerted some control over Snape, it didn't mean she could accept Snape's remarks!

And the reason why she didn't do it, maybe because she was used to Snape's harmless but uncomfortable meanness, maybe...just because she didn't have the courage to do it.

But when the other party so clearly pushed her away after they had been friends for so long, besides the anger and sadness that she should feel, what made her unbearable was obviously a kind of hurt The humiliation of self-esteem and pride -- oh, maybe she should be thankful that even at this point, Snape hadn't forgotten that he was her friend.

Yes, friend.Maybe that's why she's still standing here?Did she still want to ask Snape directly like James said?Because he at least admitted they were friends anyway?

Thinking of what Snape said about Miss Potter just now, Jody almost wanted to laugh at herself for being able to think like this.

"..." Snape felt his throat hurt as if he had swallowed the pus of a large cup of undiluted Babo tuber, and he couldn't speak at all.He clenched his fists tightly, and the knuckles of his fingers turned white because of the master's excessive force.

"Severus Snape," Jody stood up, walked in front of Snape, and faced him with a smile that could still be called gentle, but his voice was cold and unwavering. "I guess, did you make another wrong judgment this time?"

Jody's cold voice made Snape even stiffer, and he avoided making eye contact with her as if he would be petrified if he saw Jody.

But Jody didn't allow him to escape in this way, but made a request: "Look at me, tell me, what are you thinking? What do you think I appeared in your room for? Asking about your mood before Bad temper tantrums? Or explain to you why I left suddenly in front of the common room? Do you think I did these things because of you, trying to... meddle in your business?"

Snape's lips twitched silently, and it was obvious to Jody that he had acquiesced in his guess.

She unabashedly showed a sneer: "It's really an impressive delusion. What makes Mr. Snape think that no matter what your friend is doing, he is kind and considerate for you? Maybe it's because we have experienced Some things in the past have given you some kind of illusion?"

The familiar tone and lines made Snape's brows twitch unconsciously.While enduring this harsh ridicule, he actually had a feeling in his heart that it really was so.

"No, it's not because of you." Recalling the previous speculation on the lawn, the little girl's voice became sharper unconsciously. "That's because of me."

Snape didn't look at Jody during the series of questions, but suddenly raised his head because of her last sentence.

"Yes, for myself..." Jody took a deep breath, trying to stay as calm as possible. "I can never allow myself to do things that are disliked by anyone or that are annoying to anyone. I know you have been to Lily, and in the short time I have not been with you, you have been to the library, passed That corridor, that's why I know that I watched James ride a broomstick on the lawn. I need to determine whether it is because of my existence that..." She hesitated when she said this, her eyes were extremely Avoiding Snape's sight for a short while, "You can't be alone with Lily, that's why you're so restless. I don't want to be regarded as an eyesore without knowing it. I hate when others have feelings for me in their hearts What a bad review, even this possibility is not allowed..."

Jody's voice gradually became softer. Don't say that Snape was surprised, even she herself was surprised by her own words.What were you talking about just now? !If she hadn't been sober enough to know that it was impossible, she would have wondered if she had taken Veritaserum by mistake.

She raised her chin sharply, trying to hide her panic about revealing her mind with a haughty attitude: "Oh, but now, it doesn't matter anymore, I mean, it doesn't matter anymore, does it?"

All along, she has been so careful to maintain the goodwill of everyone around her, and she has been working hard with her little thoughts that she has never told anyone.This effort culminated in her first personal friendship at Hogwarts.

She has never felt so strongly how suitable she is for Slytherin like today, her desire to control is still there, and those little thoughts that she ignores intentionally or unintentionally are enough to prove her cunning.

——Didn't you initially become interested in Severus and want to make friends with him because you envied Severus' concern for Lily from the bottom of your heart?

A small voice whispered in the bottom of her heart.

Oh, come on, Jody suddenly laughed bitterly at himself.

He hadn't treated her that way since the day she'd known Severus Snape.Not even when she was so optimistic that they were indeed friends.Snape's attitude today made her feel that her efforts towards their friendship seemed like a big joke.

"Oh, by the way, I was in a hurry to leave today because...James was there at the time, and I was worried..." When he was about to put on the invisibility cloak and leave, Jody realized that he hadn't told the reason why he wanted to explain. snape.But she closed her mouth halfway through her words, silently covering herself with an invisibility cloak.

Now, she doesn't need to explain to him at all, does she?

However, just as Jody was about to disappear under the cloak, Snape suddenly stood in front of her.

"I... I'm not depressed, and getting along with Lily like this is fine, there's nothing wrong with it. I don't think... I don't think there's anything wrong with it. And..." Snape stammered.He reached out a hand and grabbed Jody's cloak, in case she just disappeared into his world so suddenly.

"...I'm only going to choose you as a partner to practice Legilimency and Occlumency. I've wanted to say that we can start practicing Legilimency with each other. I know, it's hard, so we need more practice to master, so, I mean . . . ”

Seeing Jody's unbelievable expression, he said that sentence as if he had used all his strength and courage: "I'm sorry."

While apologizing, Snape held out his hand hesitantly, and patted Jody on the shoulder awkwardly for the first time.

Jody didn't even move away.It wasn't that she forgave Snape so easily, but that she was too surprised at his proposal—she thought this boy was the one who wanted to hide everything about himself, and just now he didn't even He politely refused her asking why he was depressed, but now, he was suddenly willing to give her a complete trust in this way.She was a fool if she still had doubts about their friendship after he did it!

Snape understood Jody's surprise, but of course he was willing to give her complete trust at the moment.

He's got it all, he thought.A person who is used to caring about others, likes to please others, and is always kind and friendly in the eyes of others, but can always treat you with the sharpest but true attitude she can, how can you not Understand that she is different from you?How can you doubt...she is not your kind?
