[HP] Aunt of the Savior

After separating from Lily, Snape cherished the birthday gift Lily gave him and walked towards his and Jody's secret base in the cellar.

As early as when she learned that Lily was going to give her a birthday present this year, Jody deliberately left Snape and Lily some alone time, but Snape knew that Jody must be at the secret base at this time.

After the turmoil last year, although Jody and Snape had reconciled, some things had changed.Jody would allow Snape and Lily to have some alone time from time to time, which was not difficult for Jody who could get along well with anyone, and she could always find someone to spend time with.But most of the time, she would stay alone in the secret base to continue her after-school study and research.Jody did it very cleverly, sometimes she purposely kept Lily alone for a while, or joined Lily's friends, chatting about topics that interested girls instead of black magic or potions.So when getting along with Snape, Jody was occasionally absent, and Lily didn't notice any mystery at all.

Jody can hide from the gentle but straightforward Lily, but not from fellow Slytherin Snape, especially since he knows very well why Jody did what he did.Of course he enjoyed the time he spent with Lily, but sometimes he wasn't even sure if that feeling of enjoyment was really just pure joy, or if it was mixed with some emotions that he couldn't understand.

Just like now, when heading towards the secret base, Snape's footsteps had a briskness and haste that he hadn't even noticed.

"Birthday presents are on the table, happy birthday, Severus." Jody was indeed in that room, sitting on a cushion by the fireplace, reading a book.When she saw Snape coming in, she looked up, smiled at him, pointed to the present on the table, and buried her head in the book again.Lily is easy to learn, and she has to prepare enough knowledge to cover up their affairs in the black magic society from Lily.

Snape walked to the long table that was usually used to make potions, carefully placed the gift from Lily where it would not be touched, and then opened the strangely shaped package.

—is a scale, more sophisticated than the ones commonly used by Hogwarts students, and looks very functional.

"Thank you." Snape looked much softer than usual. He liked the gift very much.

"Oh, you're welcome." Jody didn't ignore Snape's reaction when she received the gift, so her voice sounded very brisk, but she hesitated at the last moment: "So... on my birthday, you can Do you have another potion from last year for my birthday?"

"I thought you'd prefer the Christmas kind." Snape froze for a moment, wondering if he might have asked the wrong person about the gift.But he couldn't find a more suitable person by his side than Lucius Malfoy who had a fiancée to ask him about the most appropriate potion to give a girl.

"Oh, the beauty potion is really good." Jody remembered the bottle of potion that Snape had given her at Christmas, and felt the flames of the fireplace burning her cheeks.The effect of the gift was really good, and even the Potters praised the quality of the potion Snape made.But she insisted on her claim: "But I like the one from last year, it was... warm."

Snape stared blankly at Jody, and he noticed that her eyes sparkled when she mentioned that potion, and she sincerely praised that potion that had no merit except the smell.That look made his chest feel a kind of warm satisfaction and joy, and there was a power that he couldn't refuse, and in fact he didn't want to refuse.

"Of course." Snape finally whispered. "If you want."

At the end of this school year, Gryffindor won the Quidditch Cup as he wished, but the Academy Cup lost to Slytherin due to a narrow gap in total points.This made James more angry than last year's results, but when Lily pointed out relentlessly that although he had a part in the Quidditch Cup, if he hadn't been deducting points for Gryffindor, Gryffindor wouldn't have When he lost the Academy Cup, James was finally speechless.He had to admit that what the tearful bag had said all this time was justified. His behavior neither separated Jody and Snapela as he wished, nor helped the academy win that great honor.

Fortunately, this summer, Sirius will stay at Potter's house in Godric's Hollow. Thinking of spending the summer vacation with his good brother, James' mood immediately improved.He looked smugly at the Slytherin table. As far as he knew, Jody hadn't invited Snape, as their parents had suggested.Although he was satisfied with the result, he still regretted missing the opportunity to play pranks on Snape with Sirius during the holidays.

Of course, Snape at the Slytherin table completely ignored James, his expression was as grim and grim as ever, maybe even worse.And Jody was chatting with Doris on the side, seemingly not paying attention to Snape at all.This actually made him feel a little better.Before the end of the school year, they officially tried the Legilimency spell on each other for the first time.The spell wasn't actually a success, but it still allowed them to reveal fragments of their memories to each other.Compared with the warmth and harmony of the Potter family, the predicament of the Snape family is undoubtedly very embarrassing.

Jody didn't ask what kind of continuous picture those fragments could be restored into, but he also completely abandoned his parents' suggestion.She felt that after seeing those scenes, even if she invited Snape, the proud boy would not accept it, let alone become friends with James through this opportunity.In fact, as early as James said that he would invite Sirius, Jody had already decided not to invite Snape - she couldn't let her friend be wary of his enemy during the summer vacation.

And... Jody looked over at Lily at the Gryffindor table.Surely Snape wouldn't want to miss out on the chance to do summer homework with Lily, would he?

After all, the twins were born together and grew up together. Even if they are in different colleges, Jody can still guess some of James' thinking.But after the holiday, she still found that she was wrong.

Jody thought that after Sirius came to Potter's house, the pair of good friends who hit it off at first sight would definitely be more crazy than when James was alone last year.But to her surprise, James and Sirius were willing to finish their vacation homework with her before thinking about their Quidditch, even if Sirius just got a new broom from his uncle Alphard during the vacation, he would Can bear not to touch it.

James' performance has improved significantly this year, and Jody feels that this may have something to do with Sirius.After studying together, she discovered that Sirius is very smart, he can master almost all subjects with ease, but in contrast, he is unwilling to spend more energy on studying.Sirius was too careless. If he would work harder, Jody had no doubt that his grades would be even better than they are now.

If Jody didn't quite understand what James was thinking at that time, thinking that he just wanted to use his own help to complete his homework, then after they finished all their holiday homework, James still left his good friend in the When he was with his sister, Jody, who had done similar things, understood everything.

"But Sirius is better than the nose...much better than Snape." Facing Jody's questioning, James scratched his hair and argued unconvincedly. After the Christmas punishment, James finally changed to calling Snape by his surname. Common.

Jody's face turned red all of a sudden, and she stared at James shyly and angrily: "Listen to what you are talking about!"

Yes, of course Jody knows how popular Sirius is among the girls, probably because he is the most handsome boy in their year, so almost every house has girls to send him love letters, which in Hogwarts It's not a secret at all.

But it never occurred to Jody how Sirius and Snape were worth comparing to her.There are many excellent people in the world, but you certainly wouldn't compare them with your friends, not to mention that James' comparison scale is obviously not just the status of friends.

Jody sat alone on the stump for half an hour in a daze, but he still couldn't restrain his blushing.Jody really didn't know which one was more frustrating for her, James' misunderstanding or the truth of the matter.Now she understood why James liked Snape so much, but she couldn't tell James that the person Snape liked was not herself at all...

"Jordy!"

"Siris?" Jody, whose thoughts were interrupted, showed an undisguised expression of surprise. She didn't expect Sirius to find this place.Annoyed, she hid alone in the grove by the side of the village. This place, regarded by the local villagers as a haunted grove, was the playground where she and James grew up playing, but Sirius, who came here as a guest, should not be familiar with it.

"James asked me to come to you. He said that you like to hide here the most." Sirius showed an elegant posture just leaning on the tree trunk, and tilted his head to look at the little girl who was still blushing.

The 13-year-old girl has begun to develop, and the girl's innocence and cuteness have added a touch of girlish charm, and the originally slender figure has begun to show a beautiful curve.Sirius suddenly understood that his good brother's worry was not unreasonable, although he felt that the method James came up with was a bad idea.

"That's it?" Jody asked intuitively. "Didn't he tell you other ridiculous nonsense?"

Her wary reaction didn't match the shy blush on her face.

Sirius froze for a moment at this straightforward question, and then showed a very handsome smile: "You guessed it right."

"Oh, stupid James!" Jody complained in a low voice, then looked at Sirius awkwardly and helplessly: "Sirris, I don't think I have..."

"I understand what you want to say." Sirius walked to Jody, sat cross-legged on the grass on the ground, propped his hands on the ground, and looked at the clouds passing by in the sky. "I feel like you hate me?"

Jody immediately denied it: "No, there isn't."

She did have a bad impression of Sirius Black at first, but since he helped her out, she put that impression behind her.However, perhaps because of the first impression, she has never been as fascinated by him as the other girls in the school, let alone wanting to develop a relationship with him towards James' expectations, which is something she has never thought about before field.

"Really?" Sirius turned to look at Jody's face, as if to make sure she was telling the truth.

"You helped me once, didn't you?" Jody used an example to strengthen his persuasiveness.

"Very practical reasons, huh?" Sirius couldn't help laughing, the laughter almost rolled out of his throat, "You're a Slytherin!"

"Of course, so I will never do anything to hate James' friends." Jody's tone was a little proud.Two years of life is enough for Jody to have a sense of belonging to Slytherin House.She began to understand the words that Mrs. Potter wrote to her back then. Because of her ambition, she has mastered more knowledge and stronger strength. Contrary to her environment.

"Actually, if only you... I mean, if only Slytherins were like you." Sirius laughed with a strong bitter taste. "I really admire you."

The Potters are all Gryffindors, only Jody is in Slytherin.Even so, the Potters still treat Jody and James equally, unlike his family... Thinking of the completely different attitudes of her mother towards herself and Rael before the Potters, Sirius felt uncomfortable in her heart—she even Not as considerate to him as Mrs. Potter.

"Well. I'm lucky," Jody whispered.She suddenly realized that she was in a very similar situation to Sirius, but she had family members who could understand her, and he didn't.When she thought about it, even James' bad idea didn't bother her so much.After all, he cared about her, didn't he?

"Okay, so don't be angry with James again?" Sirius stood up after achieving his goal, and patted the grass clippings on his body. "Even if you like it here, don't stay too long. I'll go back first. I'll tell James that he overestimated my charm. But I'm glad there are at least a few people around who are clear-headed and not stuffed. Girls full of pink bubbles and love potions—I think all the girls in this grade except you and Evans are..."

Thinking of those female classmates at school, Sirius showed an obvious bored expression, and restrained himself from continuing.He could keenly feel the girls' eyes cast on him either explicitly or secretly, which made him extremely annoyed.He is not at all indifferent to the attention of those who have nothing to do with him.

Sirius narrowed his beautiful gray eyes at Jody.What he didn't say was that if she could tell James that she wasn't interested in Snape, maybe James wouldn't like targeting that guy so much.But the clever boy keenly felt that this might not be a very good proposal, at least his good brother might not get the answer he wanted, and he didn't need to be eager to remind something, did he?

But Sirius didn't mention Snape, it doesn't mean Jody will forget about it.Now that she knew what was going on, she felt compelled to stop the childish behavior of James and his friends.

"Wait a minute, Regulus has reconciled with you, hasn't he? He and Severus are not particularly good friends." Jody suddenly thought of a question, facing the back of Sirius who was about to leave explain. "You don't have to be like James..."

"Oh, that's right. But James and I have different reasons," Sirius who had already left waved his hand without looking back, and paused. "—I just hate that guy so much."
