[HP] Aunt of the Savior

"Professor McGonagall!" James looked at his dean in surprise.

In fact, Professor McGonagall's words made everyone nervous.If Professor McGonagall, who is the vice-principal, can't handle it, it means that Professor McGonagall will directly hand over today's matter to Dumbledore, and the matter that needs to be handled by the principal...

The faces of Avery and Mulciber, the instigators, had long since turned pale. It was obvious that they were not courageous enough not to be afraid of being fired.And James looked bad, not sure if he really wanted Jody to be expelled from school for using the Dark Arts, even though that seemed like the best way to completely cut her off from Snape and the Dark Arts.

"Professor McGonagall, I don't think this matter is that complicated." Snape whispered suddenly.He spoke very slowly, and his half-length hair hung down to cover half of his cheeks, with no expression on his face. "It's actually a complete misunderstanding."

"Misunderstanding?" Professor McGonagall looked at Snape suspiciously.Although Snape was not the kind of student who was pleasing to the eye, Snape's statement as a prefect was undoubtedly more convincing than Potter and Black, who always caused all kinds of troubles.

"Yes," said Snape. "Avery and Mulciber did attack their classmates, but it wasn't black magic. And..." He took a deep breath. "Miss Potter, as the prefect of Slytherin, has corrected this mistake in time. She treated Miss Macdonald. In fact, the magic did not cause permanent damage to Miss Macdonald. Put Miss Potter The misjudgment of the means of salvation as one of the black arts is of course only a misunderstanding."

Sirius glanced at Snape, realizing that he was saying this entirely to suppress the matter.Also, Snape didn't say a word about the Potter twins' dreadful affair.

Of course, Sirius knew very well that the reason why Snape remained silent about those matters was definitely not to calm things down, but because he was unwilling to repeat his humiliating experience.Under the current circumstances, he didn't want to say these things again and deduct points for his academy.

"Well, I'll ask Madam Pomfrey to confirm that Miss MacDonald is indeed safe and sound." But Professor McGonagall didn't seem to think so, and she was even relieved by Snape's explanation. "However, Mr. Avery, Mr. Mulciber, you use magic to attack your classmates, and each of you will deduct twenty points, plus a month's confinement - at Mr. Filch's."

"As for Miss Potter, you handled this dispute in a timely manner and helped your classmates. I think I should add [-] points to you." Professor Yates, who had been silent since just now, added from the side. "The solution to the curse, I don't think I can handle it better than you."

Regarding this result, James remained silent with a stern face. The fact that Jody was actually undoing the curse for MacDonald made him feel a little guilty, but he stubbornly felt that he was trying to prevent Jody from continuing to indulge in black magic And did nothing wrong.

"I hope this kind of thing won't happen again in the future." Professor McGonagall re-emphasized it again at the end, looking at the twins worriedly, and sighed secretly in his heart.

She didn't really believe that it was a simple misunderstanding like Snape said, and Mary Macdonald's case sounded like she had been attacked by a dark magic.But under the current situation, she doesn't want to expel any student, especially Jody.

The older witch frowned worriedly. She watched the two children grow up, and she always loved them more than other ordinary students in her heart.The current situation undoubtedly made her uneasy and worried: even if James was naughty, he could not frame his own sister.She felt that she needed some help so that she could properly handle the problems between the two children, or the problems behind this incident.

There is no doubt that the headmaster of Hogwarts is a perfect candidate.

"Albus, this matter is not as simple as you think." In Dumbledore's comfortable circular office, Slughorn didn't get angry until he saw McGonagall walk in. He stopped complaining.

"Yes, Horace, but I think you're well aware that it's impossible. Ah, Minerva, would you like a glass of mead? Even Horace is full of praise for it." Dumbledore said with a smile on his face. with a happy and relaxed smile. "The new items in the Pig's Head Bar this time are very good."

"Albus, Horace, did I bother you?" Professor McGonagall glanced at Dumbledore reproachfully, she did not expect Dumbledore to allow her in at this time.

"Ah, no." Slughorn, however, bounced off the chair first—a delightful gesture for his size. "I... I've finished talking with Albus, so I'm leaving first."

He finished the mead in the glass in front of him and hurried out of Dumbledore's office.

"You came at the right time, Minerva." Seeing Professor McGonagall's disapproving expression, Dumbledore shrugged. "Actually, Horace came to ask me to resign, and I...of course, I didn't want Horace to leave the school."

"Resign?" Professor McGonagall frowned. "Why? Horace has been teaching as long as you. He likes to stay in Hogwarts and get to know students who may have great achievements, doesn't he? Could it be because..." Her face suddenly became serious. "Mystery man?"

"Oh, my dear professor, you are a sensible man." Dumbledore shook his head. "I don't think we should be as afraid of Voldemort as he wishes."

"Well, Voldemort." Professor McGonagall said uncomfortably, "I guess he won't give up on Horace, after all Horace is the head of Slytherin, and almost all of his main supporters are Slytherin. Leitlin. But there are things that worry me more now than Horace."

She told Dumbledore all about the dispute that happened on the lawn by the lake, "I didn't deal with it with much fanfare, but I'm really worried that there will be Voldemort supporters among our students."

"I think your guess is probably right, Minerva." Dumbledore crossed his fingers, and there was a hint of heartache in his calm eyes. "It's quite possible that the children had chosen the wrong path before we noticed it. If I recall correctly, that Miss MacDonald was a Muggle-born student? That says a lot about them Why was she chosen as the target of the attack. I regret that we really can't do more now."

"But the children of Ives and Cycia chose black magic..." Professor McGonagall showed a sad expression, "I really don't know how badly they will be hit if they find out about this. They have been so I am so proud to have such smart and lovely two children..."

"They're definitely not going to be happy about it."

Facing Jody in front of him, Dumbledore repeated what he had said to Professor McGonagall before. "Ivis and Cycia, they would never want you to make this choice."

Jody was slightly shocked, but soon calmed down: "Professor Dumbledore, now you can no longer refuse me."

"Yes." Dumbledore sighed at the girl's stubbornness. "I can't refuse you anymore, otherwise your sacrifice will be meaningless."

After hearing Professor McGonagall's words, Dumbledore was not surprised to see Jody in his office again, and she appeared even sooner than he expected. "Although things have evolved into the current situation, I still have to say, Jody, I don't approve of you doing this, you are still a child."

"But what can I do?" Jody said urgently, with a hint of self-mockery in his tone. "I want to protect Mom and Dad, protect...James, protect my family. I'll do anything for that - anything. You can trust me, I've been ready for a long time. I know if I say up front Come out, neither you nor my parents will approve of me doing this, so I can only... do it first. My status is appropriate-I am a student of Slytherin, and my ability has also been recognized, and it is still the little boy members of the group, and... I have learned Occlumency, and I trust Voldemort will not discover my secret."

The old headmaster's silent and loving eyes made the girl unscrupulously start to talk about the plans that were too heavy for an underage little witch.

"You know what the society in Slytherin is researching. Lucius Malfoy's plan is obviously not only to lead Slytherin to study black magic, but to recruit soldiers for Voldemort. After I realized that Lucius Malfoy When Malfoy actually wanted to win over the Potters for Voldemort through me, I already planned to use him to get close to Voldemort. Although I didn't make up my mind at that time, I still hesitated."

When mentioning his own plan, Jody's mouth was slightly raised, and there was a hint of childlike pride and complacency in his smile. "But he doesn't think there's anything wrong with it. He always wanted me to think so--to be fascinated by the great power of black magic, and then willing to follow Voldemort."

"Obviously Mr. Malfoy believed you." Dumbledore nodded.

"Yes, at least for now, he accepted my argument. Fortunately, he accepted." Jody's expression tightened. "I didn't know that the Death Eaters would do that kind of thing in Diagon Alley that day. Lucius wrote me that morning and told me not to go to Diagon Alley that day. But at that time James and his friends had already To Diagon Alley."

"If I hadn't contacted Malfoy, I wouldn't have received that letter, and I wouldn't have time to think of a way to protect James and the others." She raised her head, looked into Dumbledore's blue eyes, and said firmly in her tone, "This It made me realize that if I could understand what Voldemort and the Death Eaters were planning, I could better protect my family. Even if... I had to use James."

"After I got in touch with Lucius, I always put the notebook with black magic notes in the easiest place to find, waiting for James to find out." Speaking of James, Jody's face was still a little pale. "I know he will be very angry when he sees it, and then I can choose an appropriate time..."

"Like today, let him have a big fight with you? Let him have a complete fallout with you?" Dumbledore continued for Jody who was almost crying. "My poor child..."

"Today was a coincidence. I realized that I couldn't miss this opportunity, but I was very sad..." Jody took a long time to calm down. "I had imagined that James would be angry, but I was still sad to hear his words. Even...even if that was what I wanted him to say, I needed the fact that I could gain Voldemort's trust..."

"I know you don't want to do this, and James..." Dumbledore said gently: "James will be angry because he is your brother, and he loves you as much as you love him. As good as your intentions are, I have no doubt that James was hurt as much as you were."

Dumbledore looked at this clever girl with pity. He believed that she actually didn't know what kind of abyss he was pushing himself into, but this did not prevent him from admiring the courage to protect his family.He was even ashamed of this courage, because this young girl used all her intelligence and wisdom to protect her family.

"Jodi," he finally sighed, "I am very aware of your determination now, and I believe in your wisdom and courage, but hurting each other like just now is just the beginning. If you must choose this Road, I can't stop you, but as your principal, as an old man, I still want to remind you that for such a heavy responsibility, perhaps wisdom and courage alone are not enough to face what may happen in the future--that is too cruel, I really hope you'll give it a second thought."

Perhaps seeing the resoluteness and protest in the girl's eyes when she heard these words, the old wizard showed a tired and helpless smile: "If you still decide to do this when you graduate... I won't do it again." stop you."
