[HP] Aunt of the Savior

Chapter 53 You know who it is

After Jody unintentionally explained to all the Slytherins who invited her to spend the Hogsmeade weekend that she had made an appointment with James that day, Snape hadn't even been able to talk to Jody about this topic , they were forced to give up their plan to travel together.

Snape was very annoyed that he should have the same expectations of Hogsmeade as those stupid classmates who only knew that their youth was wasted around having fun.But then he realizes that, rather than being an idiot expecting to be able to hang out for the weekend, what's wrong with him is that he puts Jody in his plans so well, even because they Disappointed not to be able to travel.

Snape tried to convince himself that it was just a habit he'd gotten too used to the company of the dark-haired girl.After all, they even have the same elective schedule this year, and they often study together and spend too much time together, so he dreams, and even when he is awake, his thoughts are often connected with her.Jody was a very important friend to him, of course he would care about her, but it was just an important friend, those damned dreams were completely an accident caused by a hormonal burst.He tried so hard to convince himself that he almost believed the words.

But he couldn't explain why without Jody, he completely lost interest in going to Hogsmeade.

If Lily hadn't abandoned her friends and offered to invite, Snape would have planned to spend the day in the somewhat empty common room or in his comfortable bedroom.

He should have been overjoyed at Lily's invitation, since Lily had even left her Gryffindor friends behind for him.It was certainly a pleasure to go to Hogsmeade with Lily, but in fact he was not as excited as he expected.Worse still, he would still think of Jody who had set off for Hogsmeade before them.

Snape had assumed that he might meet Jody and her stupid brother somewhere in the village.But he didn't expect that scene to upset him so much.

Surrounded by the Gryffindor boys, Jody looked very focused and engaged.This reminded Snape that he hadn't seen such a focused Jody for a long time.

Because of that damned dream, Snape had been trying to avoid embarrassment while acting like he always did in front of Jody after school started.He always felt that he probably did a good job, at least Jody didn't notice anything unusual.But now that Snape thought about it, Jody seemed absent-minded, too.And what he saw in Hogsmeade today might be the reason for Jody's absent-mindedness.

It could be seen that she was talking to Sirius Black, her expression was tense, but the corners of her mouth curled up after Black whispered something in her ear.She stared at Black with a very focused expression, just like her usual appearance when she was studying magic.Immediately afterwards, that idiot Potter stretched out his arm and hugged her shoulder affectionately, and the atmosphere between them suddenly seemed relaxed and happy...

On the contrary, the expression of Snape standing outside became more and more gloomy, and an indescribable sourness, irritability and anger seized his chest.This feeling does not seem to be the first time, but it has never been as strong as this time.He clenched his fists and pursed his lips and stared in Jody's direction until Lily spoke to him.

When Snape realized from his unusual emotions how he answered Lily's question just now, he wished he could master the Disillusionment Charm and disappear in front of Lily.Look what stupid things he just said!

"So, you've been standing here watching... Jody?" Sure enough, Lily had a strange expression on Snape's answer.But seeing Snape's annoyed look in the next moment, she kindly stopped asking this question again.

"Why don't we go in? Didn't we plan to go to the Three Broomsticks and try the butterbeer?" Lily blinked her bright emerald green eyes and had a slightly mischievous smile on her face. "Come on, Sev!"

"Yeah." Snape lowered his head slightly, hiding his emotion that he didn't really calm down.

"Lily! Severus!" Lily and Snape had just stepped into the Three Broomsticks when Jody waved at them.In order to wait for James and the others, she chose a position where she could see every guest who walked into the Three Broomsticks, and naturally she would not ignore her friends.

Jody was visibly surprised to see Lily and Snape coming in together.She twitched the corner of her mouth in a strange manner, but before anyone noticed, she had returned to her usual smiling face, and actively and enthusiastically sent out an invitation: "There is a seat here, let's sit together!"

"Oh!" James frowned and let out a low sigh.Of course he didn't want Snape to be involved with them, but it was obviously unwise to target Jody's friend when she had just conceded and promised to keep their secret.

The three brooms seemed to be full at first glance, and there was indeed room beside the round table, so Lily hesitated for a second, then sat down next to Jody, and Snape sat next to Lily—just next to West. Reese.The two talents looked at each other, and they showed a tense momentum, which made people wonder if they would pull out their wands and throw spells at each other.

"After studying Voldemort's problem, we haven't sat together like this for a long time." However, facing the suddenly stiff atmosphere, Jody said with a smile as if he didn't pay attention.Since she wanted to keep it a secret from James and the others, she would not mention the topic of Animagus in front of Lily and Snape.It was hard to say whether it was her attitude that made everyone sit down peacefully, or her hand casually stroking her wand.

"Actually, we got along very well when we studied the same problem together. Why do you boys insist on calling back and forth for some childish reasons?" Lily said bluntly, looking at all the boys dissatisfied, Including Snape by her side. "I think it's great for us to sit and talk like this, isn't it? I guess I'm the only one who remembers sticking with our previous research?"

After Jody promised to help keep it secret just now, Lupine was no longer nervous about the possibility of his secret being leaked.He returned to his usual gentle and natural attitude, and came to the rescue in time when James and Sirius were unwilling to speak, and Peter was afraid to speak: "Oh?"

"I'm still paying attention to the news about Voldemort," Lily announced. "I don't think I can waste the pocket money I spend on the Daily Prophet - which I renewed this year, even though it's getting more and more stupid stuff. I think you look at this and you should Knowing that we shouldn't be wasting our time and experience now childishly attacking each other."

"My parents always said there was nothing to read in the paper, 'It's just the worst stories.' " James brought up his parents in his own defense. "Right, Jody?"

"That's true." Jody smiled innocently and awkwardly, but her eyes, which were squinted with a smile, were shining with complicated meanings. "So the Potters never read the papers."

Jody didn't think Sirius would be hostile to her for no reason, and deliberately mentioned Voldemort in her ear.Slytherin and Voldemort have a very close relationship.So she deliberately changed the topic from Animagus to Voldemort, and Lily's presence was an excellent opportunity. She knew that Lily had been paying attention to the news in the newspaper, but because of her own position, Lily had a very strong feeling for Voldemort. and Jody concealed the matter of learning black magic, so they have rarely talked about it.

Sure enough, Lily took a reproachful look at her good friend who had first mentioned Voldemort but then ignored the topic afterwards, and talked about the information she had collected recently. "Lately the Daily Prophet has leaned more and more towards Voldemort's pure blood supremacy, almost every day."

She paused, "The news in the Daily Prophet is getting less and less nutritious, even who grows the strange magic pumpkin or asparagus, or the new launch of some brand of wizard cleanser can dominate the newspaper headlines." It’s such a big page, but those missing persons cases and the bizarre events of Muggle society are only hidden in the corner of the newspaper as a newsletter. However, there are more and more articles supporting Voldemort’s views. In recent months, they have used I found a new way of expressing it, and turned up a lot of historical facts in the newspapers to emphasize the superiority of wizard blood without directly insulting Muggles too much. I think those articles may make many people feel proud and proud of themselves as wizards. They also published some so-called academic studies to prove the obvious advantages of blood purely in strengthening the magical power of wizards. There is also an advertisement sheet-the new book recently published, "Born Noble: The Family Tree of Wizards" is reprinted!"

Sirius whistled unabashedly: "It's the stupidest book I can think of, but I guess my parents will definitely buy a dozen and take home, and maybe even tear out the pages introducing the Black family Framed. Maybe you'd like to visit my house next holiday, James?"

"Oh, my God, that's the worst decoration I can think of." James pouted, but looked at Lily.Lily's narration attracted the attention of everyone present. The red-haired little witch was very dazzling when she played her sense of justice. It was the first time that James noticed this when she was not the object of her accusation. a little.

Only Snape sneered.As a mixed race, he couldn't help but despise this Blake, who was in the blessing and didn't know the blessing.

"Regarding the recent change in the reporting style in the newspapers, I'm afraid it's Abraxas Malfoy's trick." Sirius glanced at Snape, unexpectedly did not fight back.

"That name was mentioned in the paper," said Lily. "He seems to be well known."

"The Malfoy family is indeed very influential, and the old Malfoy is much more cunning than the Slytherin student council president." Sirius frowned in disgust. "However, the Malfoy family and Voldemort have very close contacts. It is said that Voldemort sometimes stays at Malfoy Manor-my parents envy this! They think that my old house can also receive big figures like Voldemort."

"This is really strange. Everyone knows that Voldemort is a dark wizard, but the newspapers and so many people think he is very good." Lily sighed. "Aren't the professors in Defense Against the Dark Arts classes emphasizing how evil black arts are?"

Snape and Jody exchanged glances extremely quickly and briefly, maintaining a surface of composure.

"Dark magic is not the point, the point is who is using it. Voldemort is very powerful, and now his reputation is growing, and with the methods they use, I'm afraid many wizards will think he is right," he said. It makes sense." Sirius' eyes finally swept across Snape and Jody inadvertently, and the corner of his mouth showed the malicious smile he showed Jody just now. "I think it's more than that. With the help of Malfoy's family, his secret power is probably getting bigger and bigger. There are always some people who are not so clear-headed, and they can't wait to follow him before they figure out the situation. !"
