[HP] Aunt of the Savior

This morning, Jody rarely overslept.It took her a long time in a daze to realize that Christmas was over.

Yesterday, yesterday...she fell asleep on the bed without even changing out of her silver dress robe.She had danced too much and drank a lot of mead, and now she not only had a headache, but her bones and muscles were screaming and aching.

Jody, who had completely recovered from her sleep, finally remembered what happened last night, and her face blushed.

—that silver-green ribbon was now wrapped around her wrist in a beautiful bow.

Drinking too much alcohol and disrupting her daily schedule were not enough to make her brain forget what happened last night and store it in her memory. She remembered how Snape put this item with the usual caution when dealing with potion ingredients. Ribbons are tied around her wrists and tied into a beautiful bow.

"You...could trade it for a real gift." His voice was still unnatural, but to someone just in love, there was no question that unnaturalness equated to cuteness. "But I promise I will get the ribbon back."

Thinking of what happened last night, Jody had to spend a long time to completely cool down his hot cheeks.However, when she drank the potion that Snape gave as a Christmas gift this year, she still felt her face flushed again - the relaxing potion prepared by Snape was indeed very suitable for this morning when the body felt very tired .

Doris, who usually got up later than Jody, was not in the bedroom.Thinking of what happened last night, Jody couldn't help worrying about her.But when she looked at her watch, she realized that it was already past breakfast time.If it weren't for the Christmas holiday, she would definitely be late for class today for the first time.

Jody left the common room where some students gathered alone, hesitated for a moment, and gave up her plan to go to the kitchen to deal with those house-elves, and instead walked towards the secret base where she and Snape were.

A good friend of nearly four years, plus a fresh relationship, she knew exactly where Snape would be now, and she wasn't surprised at all by the smell of breakfast wafting through the room.In fact, they often brought food for each other who forgot to eat before.Not too uncommon for two people who tend to lose track of time once they're addicted to magic.But for Jody, who is used to getting up on time, it was the first time he missed breakfast.

"Um, good morning." As soon as Jody came in, Snape immediately looked up from the book he was buried in.He originally wanted to try to say good morning to each other with a smile, but in the end he looked stiff because of nervousness. "I noticed you didn't come to breakfast."

"Morning, Severus. I've...overslept a little bit today." Jody walked to the table, where egg sandwiches and cereal with milk were placed on the table that she usually used to make potions for breakfast. favorite combination. "Breakfast looks really good today."

The two of them coincidentally did not make eye contact with each other.After the dance and confession last night, they suddenly returned to their daily life, and the change in their relationship still made them feel nervous and awkward.

The room was eerily quiet, and even Jody's chewing at breakfast seemed amplified.

"Would you like to practice... the Patronus today?" The eerie silence lasted until Jody had finished his breakfast, before Snape said, "I think yesterday's memory should be pretty good."

"Oh. Yes." Jody wiped his mouth with his handkerchief and took his wand from his pocket. "Maybe we won't lose to Lily this time?"

"I don't believe so." Snape finally showed a relaxed smile from his tightly pursed mouth. "Call God to protect you!"

Immediately, a thick silver mist emerged from the tip of Snape's wand.Different from the thin silver mist that Jody saw last time, this time the mist is obviously very thick, and it gathers together indistinctly, as if it will soon form a fixed shape.

"It seems that you have been able to do it." Jody looked at this obvious change in surprise.

Snape blushed a little at Jody's admiration and compliment. "No, not enough."

In fact, he was able to do this when he used the wonderful memory before, and the current situation has not improved much compared to before.He still failed to conjure a physical Patronus.

But in fact Snape didn't understand at this time, just when he was sure and admitted that he liked Jody, his Patronus could never be the same as before.

After that, they practiced Legilimency and Occlumency. They have put a lot of effort into this magic this year. The two have been engaged in a lively offensive and defensive battle, trying to dig out the deepest part of each other's brain. A secret to hide.However, today's exercise did not surprise the two of them to relive the wonderful memories of last night.

But the effect of Legilimency is to relive a memory from the perspective of a bystander.This made Jody and Snape completely objectively appreciate the demeanor and expression when their eyes met yesterday.

From the perspective of an onlooker, the passion in the boy's eyes and the fascination in the girl's eyes are clearly visible. It is obvious that they were completely intoxicated in dancing with each other at that time.This intuitive feeling is too shocking for Slytherin who is usually used to hiding or even covering up his emotions.

When withdrawing from this memory, the two of them felt a little embarrassed at the same time, but it is undeniable that they felt joy and satisfaction.This kind of scene, more than any oath, can eliminate the tension and anxiety in the budding period of love.

However, in the eyes of those who don't know the inside story, this situation is too abnormal.So Lily was really taken aback when she discovered that Jody wasn't staying with Snape, but with James in the library. "Jody, aren't you with Sev?"

The redhead looked at James with suspicion.Although Jody and Snape haven't been able to explain the change in their relationship to Lily, there is no doubt that Lily has acquiesced to this since the last conversation that was wrong. She couldn't believe that the atmosphere at the ball was so good The next day, the two of them seemed to be... alienated?

"Severus went to help Professor Slughorn." Jody shrugged. "And I've got to help... I'm coming to the library to finish my History of Magic paper for the holidays with James, and you know, next year is our OWLS year, and that's a big deal for us."

James breathed a sigh of relief.He didn't hide from Jody that he wanted to pursue Lily. Fortunately, after last night, Jody didn't seem to object to him doing that, and cooperated with him very well so that he wouldn't lose face in front of Lily.

"Oh, Sev's potion score is indeed the best..." In fact, Lily didn't pay attention that much at all. She accepted what Jody said, sat down beside her, and asked in a low voice with a mysterious smile: " So what are you going to do the day after tomorrow?"

"The day after tomorrow?" Jody suddenly realized that Lily was asking about the Hogsmeade weekend during the Christmas holidays. A hint of complexity flashed across her expression, but Lily didn't pay attention.

"Didn't Sev ask you out on a date?" Lily asked excitedly.As far as she knew, many of the students who danced together at the Yule Ball had arranged a date this weekend, and of course, the meaning was extraordinary. "Mrs. Puddiffe's will be very busy."

"Oh, no." Jody felt that she was going to blush again, and she turned her head hastily. "We...we haven't discussed this."

"Perhaps you should take him out for a walk afterward, and you should go out to get some air," Lily said affirmatively, "and Sev won't remember going to Hogsmeade. I hardly ever saw him there." he."

"Oh my God, Jody, are you going on a date with Snape the day after tomorrow?" James finally couldn't help interjecting, his expression was horrified, as if Jody would be going on a date with Snape would be a very scary thing like.But thankfully he at least called Snape by his last name this time and nothing else.Even so, the red-haired girl couldn't help giving James a hard look.

For Lily, who wants to match her two good friends, James, who has been working to disrupt the situation, is simply "incompatible" with her.

"No, I didn't plan to have a date with Severus that day." Jody said calmly, "Lily, I already had a date with Doris that day."

Lily showed a regretful expression.

"Then Lily—" James, who was relieved, ignored the time limit that Jody said that day, and turned his attention to Lily.He wanted to call Lily's name, but he had to change his words under the stare of the other's green eyes. "Well, Evans, are you going to Hogsmeade with me the day after tomorrow? I mean, maybe we had a good night last night?"

"If you can figure out what you should take care of and what you shouldn't take care of before inviting me, I think I'd like to think about it a little bit." The expression on Lily's face seemed to be slightly shaken, but then She still rejected James' proposal unceremoniously, "But I don't want to date a guy like you at all now."

Hearing James' persistent invitation and Lily's firm refusal, Jody couldn't help laughing as Mrs. Pince approached angrily waving a feather duster.

Before Lily mentioned the day after tomorrow, she was so dazed by the sweetness and shyness that she almost forgot about the Hogsmeade weekend.Maybe only this time, she should be thankful that Severus is not as direct as James, otherwise, how would she refuse his invitation?

It was true that Snape hadn't planned to ask Jody on a date this weekend, but it wasn't because he wasn't direct or courageous, it was because he had other things to attend to.At least for the matter in front of him, he must deal with it properly during the weekend.

Snape, who was standing in Professor Slughorn's office, lowered his head in thought.

"Mr. Snape," said Professor Slughorn, sitting behind his desk with his chubby stomach.He was not as cheerful and relaxed as before, but rubbed his hands nervously, looking embarrassed. "I just want to say, the one I mentioned to you before, you know what I'm talking about...I'm sorry I asked you for help..."

"Professor, of course. Of course it is impossible for you to ask a student to inquire about the top-secret formula of potions in another student's home. I believe that you, as a professor at Hogwarts, cannot do that." The corner of Snape's mouth Outlined a mocking smile, and changed the topic: "But you have to understand that for a wizard like you, after some things are promised, you have to complete them. I think you know what I mean, don't you? "

Hearing Snape's words, Professor Slughorn almost went limp.There was panic and fear in his eyes, "No, no, you know I'm not that kind of person, I never thought that way." He looked at Snape expectantly. "Mr Snape, I'm sure you think the same as I do, don't you?"

"Yes, Professor." Snape was silent for a moment, then smiled again. "But we are different."
