[HP] Aunt of the Savior

After that, Mr. Potter panted and took all the children back to the Potters' house with a portkey in the shape of a pocket watch.It was not a very good time to be a guest, but Mr Potter could not let any of the children go home alone now.

Seeing a large group of them suddenly appearing in the open space of the living room, huddled together crookedly, Mrs. Potter couldn't help exclaiming: "What happened?"

"There... um, some strange people have attacked Diagon Alley," Mr. Porter said to his wife. "Luckily I got there in time."

"God!" Mrs. Potter went up and gave her husband and son a hug, and then asked each one if anyone was injured.Fortunately, except for Peter whose sleeve was scratched by the curse, everyone else was unscathed.

"James Potter, I hope you can reflect on your actions just now! The Floo network leading to Diagon Alley was blocked, and you were able to pass at that time only because you were underage." Mr. Potter put several The boy looked at them one by one, and finally glared at James sternly and said, "Do you understand what this means? For them, underage wizards can't pose a threat at all, so you sneaked into Diagon Alley, isn't it Occasions where you can rush out with your wand. At that time, your first consideration should be to protect yourself instead of running out to be a hero."

"What's wrong?" Mrs. Potter frowned.She knew her husband's personality and rarely saw him so angry.

"James, kid, just wanted to rush out to fight those guys who attacked Diagon Alley!" Mr. Potter, who was always kind and friendly, looked very intimidating when he put on a straight face.

"..." James bit his lip, feeling very dissatisfied with the feeling that he could only watch everything happen but was powerless at that time.He opened his mouth, wanting to refute, but he had to admit that the prank spells he usually used were just child's tricks to those lunatics.

"Mr. Potter, thank you for arriving in time just now." Lupine relieved James in time.

James took the opportunity to change the subject: "Dad, how did you find out about the accident in Diagon Alley?"

Mr. Potter's lingering anger was still there, but his expression softened when facing the unfamiliar Lu Ping: "Thanks to Jody..."

"We were going shopping with your sister," Mrs. Potter patted her husband on the back reassuringly, "but as soon as your father stepped into the fireplace, he realized that he couldn't go to Diagon Alley, and then he immediately apparated to find him. You guys, tell us to wait for news at home."

"I'll go back and buy things for the children!" Mr. Porter said worriedly.

Only then did James remember Jody, who was also going shopping, and he was quite surprised that she didn't ask the snotling.

He looked over his parents' shoulders and behind them, and saw Jody standing alone a little further away from everyone.Liz the owl landed on her shoulder, and she just stood there motionless, with her arms folded in her hands, her eyes so empty that at first glance she looked like a soulless shell.But when James wanted to confirm again, he found that she had returned to her original appearance with a tense expression, as if the scene just now was just an illusion of James.

Although it felt a little weird for a moment, when they sat down at the table and enjoyed this aftermath lunch, the scene just now was forgotten by James.

It was not until the next day that people learned how serious the situation yesterday was on the wizarding broadcast: one-third of the shops were damaged to varying degrees, and at least 150 people needed to be sent to St. Mungo's for treatment. Thirty of the wounded were Muggles—on the eve of the start of school, many Muggle parents accompanied their children to Diagon Alley for shopping.

What happened in Diagon Alley caused an uproar in the wizarding world. The Dark Mark hovering over Diagon Alley made the Ministry of Magic unable to continue to claim that this incident had nothing to do with the previous murders.Immediately afterwards, Voldemort publicly admitted that those men in black wearing silver masks who committed murder in Diagon Alley were his followers-Death Eaters.

The "Daily Prophet" also used a large amount of space to report that the actions of the Death Eaters were to purify the corrupted wizarding world. Voldemort was determined to lead the Death Eaters to win more benefits for the wizards, and called on the wizards to join in. Convince your friends and relatives to follow Voldemort and fight for wizards.

It is difficult to say how many people were convinced by this report, and so far, James Porter, who has personally experienced the Diagon Alley incident, is not aware that such a report has been published in the newspaper.But all the wizards in Godric's Hollow looked nervous, and he saw it.

Under the cover of this atmosphere, the day when Hogwarts started school came again.Like every September [-]st, platform nine and three-quarters was packed with parents who came to see off their children.But this year, all the people on the platform had expressions of panic, and only a very small number of wizards had proud and complacent expressions.They got together and had a lively conversation, Sirius' parents being one of them.

"They're a bunch of lunatics!" After another argument with his mother, Sirius walked to James with a face full of anger. "They still think what Voldemort said is right!"

"That's really too bad." James patted his good brother on the shoulder sympathetically, looked at Jody who was standing with Snape not far away, and repeated. "so terrible."

"Let's get in the car!" Sirius managed to pull himself together, and stopped looking at Regulus who was hugging his parents inseparably.

"Sorry, I'm going to the prefect's box this year..." Lupine said a little uneasy.He seemed embarrassed that he had been honored as a prefect.However, apart from Peter's envious face, neither James nor Sirius took this to heart.

James was more concerned about the fact that the gloomy snot-nosed man had become a prefect than he had failed to become a prefect.When he saw the snotlite triumphantly pinning the prefect badge on his chest, he immediately turned his eyes to the other side angrily.

"We'll be very busy this year, won't we?" Lily also had a prefect badge pinned to her chest. She greeted Lupine happily, and then ran to Jody and Snape. "Jodi, Sev, I'm glad you're both prefects."

"Thank you," Jody said. "I guess you'd like the prefect's box, it's very comfortable."

"I almost forgot, it's not the first time you've used the prefect's box." After parting from Lily, Snape helped put Jody's luggage on the luggage rack, with a relaxed and slightly smug smile on his lips .His mood has been very good since just now. "The time you met Malfoy in first year?"

"Yes, Mr. Snape." Jody raised an eyebrow at him, and said sarcastically.

Recalling the situation at that time, Snape coughed uncomfortably.Had he known at that time that he would fall in love with this Miss Potter in the years to come, he would never have treated her with that repulsive attitude.

Jody chuckled and sat down on the comfortable sofa in the box, thinking silently.She wondered if she should talk to Snape about Diagon Alley.She didn't know how much Snape knew, but certainly no less than she did.Neither he nor Lily went to Diagon Alley that day, and she believed that was not what Lily had said in her letter, but just because of their lucky relationship.

"We have to inspect the carriages." She was glad Snape had said that at this moment.After all, patrolling the compartment is much easier and more relaxed than thinking about how to talk about some heavy topics.Now she would rather this colorful Christmas bubble last longer than be popped by her eagerness.

From an interpersonal point of view, Snape might not be the most suitable student to be a prefect, but he was still perfectly qualified for the role.

After the Orientation Dinner, Jody and Snape were tasked with leading the new students back to the common room.In fact, leading a group of 11-year-olds is not an easy task. They are constantly noisy and curious.But this troublesome job seemed much easier under Snape's tense and gloomy expression.The freshmen didn't even dare to speak, and obediently followed Jody and Snape, walking in the gloomy cellar corridor.

Jody glanced at Snape beside him, and there was no doubt that this guy was in a good mood now - his habitually tight lips in front of people relaxed unconsciously.They now finally gained enough authority in Slytherin, and it's not hard to imagine how excited this would be for Snape, who was once isolated because of his half-blood status.And this excitement was enough to make him turn a blind eye to the sinister atmosphere in the school.

With the status of prefect, Jody and Snape have more convenience and privileges to do everything they want to try.This year they plan to try brewing Felicia - a magical potion that brings good luck.

However, the price of raw materials required for this miraculous potion is also quite expensive. They managed to gather all the materials during the summer vacation, and they couldn't even afford a single failure.It needs a production cycle of up to half a year, and every step cannot be wrong, but relatively, the income from selling it is also considerable.

Snape, who was better at potions than Jody, obviously had great enthusiasm for it, and would show up early in the secret base almost every day to pay attention to the brewing of potions.

However, Snape was late on this rare day. As soon as he entered the door, he said with a serious expression: "Something happened."

"What's the matter?" Jody was surprised to find that there was panic in Snape's eyes.

"Avery and Mulciber attacked Mary MacDonald of Gryffindor with Dark Magic," Snape said, frowning. "These two..."

He gritted his teeth angrily, as if he was considering what words to use to describe Avery and Mulciber, and he seemed to have to swallow some vulgar descriptions because he was concerned about his words in front of Jody.

"Oh my god, how dare they!" Jody stood up in shock, and the books she held in her arms fell to the ground with a clatter, and one of them was obviously cursed by Mrs. Pince, beating around in circles angrily. Her calves protested. "This is at school!"

"Of course they dare." Snape sneered, "Since what happened in Diagon Alley, they haven't dared to do anything. Although I think the point is not how brave and daring those two guys are, but that they are No brains."

Jody's expression stiffened for a moment.This was the first time Snape had brought up Diagon Alley since his return to Hogwarts.But from his short sentence, it was difficult for her to figure out more information.

"What should we do next?" She asked in an unnatural tone.

"Stop them as a prefect." Snape's voice was still angry, and he didn't notice Jody's abnormal expression at all. "If they don't want to be kicked out of school by Dumbledore now."
