You know, just last summer, Sirius thought Jody was different from other Slytherins.But when he learned about the Dark Society, he realized that even though Jody had never advocated pure blood, she was still a Slytherin.

Sirius had heard a lot about Snape's "feats" from Regulus, and his younger brother talked about that gloomy and annoying guy with admiration.So in his opinion, if Jody chooses that Snape, it is absolutely as normal as Narcissa marrying Malfoy-they both like to pursue greater power at all costs, whether it is in the literal sense or more Abstract.

It's just that he didn't want to tell James this reason, which would undoubtedly hit him hard.

However, James failed to understand the real meaning of irony behind Sirius' smile, and angrily drew a card to express his dissatisfaction and protest against Sirius' statement. As a result, both of them were disgraced by the explosion of the collapsed card.

The huge explosion could be heard even upstairs. Jody, who had just walked to the door of the room, rolled his eyes helplessly, "Believe me, this is the worst score James has ever achieved in cracking and exploding cards in my memory."

Lily couldn't help laughing, but it wasn't because of the explosion of cards. "Jodi, you know, when I was at your house, I realized that you were actually my age. When you were at school, you and Sif always looked so stable."

"To be precise, I'm almost two months younger than you." Jody corrected her with a smile and turned her back to Lily, and pushed open the door of her room, "Please come in."

Snape followed the girls a little awkwardly, staring down at his toes, reminding himself that he had already seen this room in Jody's memory, and there was nothing unusual about it, and it was not worth it. certain mood swings.

However, when he saw that the original warm goose yellow and light pink color in the room now had silver and green, Snape couldn't help but waver.

Compared to Lily, Snape was the one who should really be nervous - he had never been a guest at anyone's house.Even Lily's, who lived so close to him, he never paid an official visit to.The only time she ran away secretly was to read Petunia's letter, and in the end because of Petunia, Lily never invited Snape to play at home again.With the situation of Snape's family, apart from Lily, it is impossible for anyone else in Cokeworth Town to invite him.

More importantly, he was visiting Jody's house this time, and Lily and Sirius Black were also present at the same time.For whatever reason, he didn't want to make a fool of himself or make a bad impression with the Potters.This prompted him to accept the advice and help of others even though he was reluctant, and took care of himself a little before coming here.

As for his insistence on going home, although the purpose was to say hello to Irene and tell him where he was going, the result was as he expected. Irene's reaction was still extremely cold, and saying "Got it" was his permission and answer. , Then, she told him how to summon the Knight Bus.

On the way to Potter's house, Snape was so nervous that he almost vomited, but he didn't hesitate to put the blame on the horrible Knight Bus instead of his own psychological quality.Because when he saw the gate of Potter's house, he regained his usual composure.

He suddenly realized that he was not unfamiliar with Potter's house at all.In the previous Legilimency practice, he had seen this place in Jody's mind countless times. He remembered the white painted wooden fence with James and Jody's small handprints on it, and remembered that it was a little faded. The red brick roof of the house, and even know the house surrounded by ivy and flowers that bloom in all seasons, even if the summer breeze smells only of roses and wood sorrel.

The 14-year-old Snape had never experienced such a warm and sunny living environment. Even when facing Jody's memory, he felt deeply envious and jealous of such a warm home.This was the real reason why he resisted Jody's invitation.

He maintained a subtle sense of tension, not wanting to make himself seem too out of place with this cozy house, and even while enjoying the delicious food under Mrs. Potter's kind care, he couldn't completely relax.However, when he walked into Jody's room, his mood slowly calmed down, and he felt that he was like the silver and green extra decorations in this room, which could be consistent with the original color to a certain extent. balance and integration.He doesn't need to be overly worried or uneasy, because the owner of this room is of the same kind as him.

As Snape relaxed thinking about these things, he heard Jody saying to him and Lily: "If James and Sirius come up with any bad ideas again, we'll go to my room and avoid him." .”

However, it was not so easy to avoid James and Sirius, because they couldn't always be bored in the room.

Familiar with Godric's Hollow, James is as familiar as Jody.Maybe there is Sirius to add now, he had a very thorough understanding of the terrain in this area last summer.This gave them many "unexpected encounters".

"It's so beautiful here." Lily couldn't help but let out a cheer when Jody finally led Lily and Snape through the woods, avoiding the disturbance of James and Sirius, to her favorite place.

They have brought the sandwiches, baked biscuits and cool fruit tea prepared by Mrs. Potter today, and they plan to have a picnic here-the kind that no one will bother, Jody has heard that James and Sirius will go to the village today to find Those Muggle boys played.

"This place is really different from Cokeworth Town. The water in this creek is much clearer than ours! What do you think, Sev?" Lily picked up a string of crystal clear water by the stream happily. splash. "I really like it here."

Godric's Valley has no traces of industrialization, and retains more of its original natural features than Cokeworth.

"Yeah." Snape nodded lightly, the usually cold and hard lines are especially soft when faced with such a natural landscape, and he remembered that, in the memories he saw, Jody did the same when he was young Pass.

Jody sat on a tree stump a little further away, with his chin in his hands, looking at the picture in front of him, trying to keep smiling.

The red-haired girl was playing in the water by the stream to her heart's content. She looked very happy, with a cheerful and energetic smile. The summer sun made her shine like a little sun.And the black-haired boy was sitting aside, with a thick book spread out on his knees, the sun shining through the mottled leaves on his head and falling on his face, he was shrouded in the cloudy light, his expression He looked at the girl softly.

The scene in front of her was like a wonderful picture scroll of youth in summer, but she stood outside the picture and enjoyed all this, tasting a kind of sour pain.

This mood didn't improve until Lily mentioned the Patronus Charm after lunch.Lily had always had lingering fears about Snape's Azkaban prison and those terrifying dementors, and she insisted that they should learn defensive spells.

"The Patronus Charm is really not easy to master." Snape said the name of the spell without hesitation.

Lily was used to Snape's erudition, "Sev, do you know this spell?"

Snape shook his head. "No, I won't. But if you're interested in the spell, we can study it. It's a very useful spell."

"It can also be used to repel Voldebats, as I recall." Jody agreed, "It would be nice if we could learn that.

Lily was content to see her two best friends get engaged in discussing the spell, and used the excuse of going back to fetch the reference books to leave them alone for a while.Little Sif cared so much about Jody, and valued his visit to the Potters so much, he must like her very much!The scenery by the stream is beautiful and the atmosphere is good. She really hopes that Sif can seize the opportunity...

Lily thought happily until she saw the figures of James and Sirius outside the woods.

"Why are you alone? Where are Jody and...Snape?" Seeing Lily alone, James' expression immediately became ugly.

"I came back to pick up the book, and they were still discussing magic." Lily shrugged. "Jody and Severus can forget about everything as long as they talk about magic."

"How can you leave them alone?" After hearing Lily's words, James was about to run into the woods in a hurry. "I'm going to have a look!"

"James Potter, can you not be so childish." Lily stared at James, blocking his way. "Why do you always trouble Sev?"

"But, but..." James irritatedly messed up his already disobedient head. "But the point is, now Jody is alone with Snape."

"So what?" Lily asked back, "They are good friends, even if they want to go out on a date together, you have no right to interfere with them."

"Who wants to date a snot? You don't have to worry." Sirius patted James' shoulder reassuringly, and whispered in his ear, whispering the word snot so that Lily wouldn't hear it .

"I also hope that Jody's vision won't be so bad." Looking at Lily who was resolutely unwilling to give in, James had no choice but to give up his original plan angrily. "That guy is gloomy, scruffy, and poisonous, why would Jody want to date him?"

"Compared to Sev." Although their voices were already low, Lily heard James' comments on Snape later.She gave James a hard look: "A boy like you who likes to boast, meddle in his own business, and be arrogant, I doubt that any girl would want to go out with you!"

Looking at the back of Lily walking away, James, who had just been scolded for nothing, had a strange expression on his face: "Sirius, am I really that bad?"

"Hey buddy, let me tell you, you're awesome." Sirius said reassuringly.

"Then... remember I said earlier that I will definitely find a girlfriend before next year's dance?"

"Yeah." Sirius raised his eyebrows.

"I suddenly feel that Evans is probably pretty good." James put on a critic's style, stroking the fluff that had just emerged on his chin. "She looks cute when she's angry, isn't she?"

Sirius looked at James with the eyes of meeting this person for the first time: "Although I admit that Evans is a rare girl with a brain in Hogwarts, and she is indeed quite cute. But what do you appreciate?" The point, I really can't understand."

Sirius responded with James' flushed face and a merciless punch at his pal.

The blissful day was finally interrupted one morning by the Daily Prophet.

The Potter family didn't have the habit of subscribing to newspapers, and Lily ordered the newspapers.Ever since she came to visit the Potters, the owl had delivered newspapers to Godric's Hollow every morning at breakfast.

But on this day, Lily had only glanced at the newspaper before she let out a short and suppressed exclamation: "God!"

"What happened?" Jody asked worriedly, Lily's face had never been so ugly.

Lily's fingers trembling while holding the newspaper. "Professor Cuaron...is dead."
