[HP] Aunt of the Savior

Chapter 96 Engagement

After making the unbreakable oath, Regulus confessed to Jody what he had heard from Lucius.With Lucius' blunt narration without any tricks, anyone with a brain will know what the Dark Lord's plan is after hearing that Dumbledore trusts Jody.

That's why Regulus immediately thought of finding Jody to find out about Sirius after noticing Sirius' actions.On the one hand, he knew that Jody would probably be sent by the Dark Lord to Dumbledore's side as a spy in the future, and on the other hand, James and Sirius had a good relationship, and Jody would have the opportunity to know more about Sirius.

Although Regulus later promised to exchange all he knew for news of Sirius, there was no doubt that the incident irritated Jody greatly.She couldn't believe that Lucius had the audacity to reveal Voldemort's private conversations.

"He obviously wanted more people to know about these things." However, Snape, who had more dealings with Lucius, pointed out Lucius' plan to the point. "He hopes that more people will know that he introduced us to Voldemort, so that his position among the Death Eaters will be more prominent and stable. However, I believe this has also been tacitly approved by the Dark Lord, otherwise he would never There's no way it's going to get out."

"Even if the Dark Lord is powerful," Jody frowned, scoffing at that. "I'd also say it's pretty stupid. He probably never considered that the more people who knew about the spy, the more likely it was that the spy would be caught."

Even if he admired the Dark Lord, Snape had to admit that Jody was absolutely right.Although Jody was ready to be used by Malfoy at first, this incident made Jody raise his vigilance against Lucius Malfoy again.This incident reminded her: If she was negligent because the previous development was too smooth, then she was very wrong.

Sixth grade students will enter the advanced class of preparation according to their OWLS results.The work of verifying the grades and issuing the new schedule should have been in charge of Slytherin's dean, Professor Slughorn, but because of his sudden disappearance, the person in charge of potions and Slytherin's dean this year was the one who taught black magic last year. Professor Yates of Defense, and the professor in charge of Defense Against the Dark Arts was replaced by the newly appointed Professor Cloverfield.

Jody and Snape took Charms, Defense Against the Dark Arts, Herbalism, Transfiguration, Ancient Runes and Potions together, but they had a disagreement on the last subject, and Jody chose hemp. Melon researched while Snape chose arithmetic divination.This was the first time they had separate classes since they entered Hogwarts.

The reason why Jody chose this course was mainly to abide by the agreement with Regulus, so that except for the protection of magical creatures, all her class schedules overlapped with Sirius Black.This made Snape very upset, of course, but he just kept his mouth into a thin line and said nothing, but he always picked up Jody to and from get out of class.

What makes Jody feel even more relieved is that although the four colleges will take the same class together after being promoted to the advanced class, when they meet James or Lily, they don't come back to try to "save" the mistaken class. I went astray myself.And, perhaps knowing of the changing relationship between James and Lily, Jody finds them becoming very close.It's not that Jody often sees them making out in class, it's just that the atmosphere between them feels uninvolving.

It seems that the relationship between James and Lily is going well, and Jody quickly confirmed this——

Mrs. Potter sent her a letter after Halloween telling her that they were going to be engaged to Lily and James at Christmas time.

"Are you going to participate?" Snape stared at Jody after hearing about this. If Jody planned to participate, then it would be impossible for her to stay in school for Christmas like last year.

"Oh, yes." Jody nodded, seeing Snape's expression, she immediately suggested: "Will you go back to my house with me?"

"I don't think Lily... neither Evans nor your lovely brother would welcome me to attend. I remember you said that this is a small engagement ceremony only for relatives and friends?" Snape stared at it with lowered eyes. The book in front of me is very self-aware but said in a very unpleasant tone.He wasn't close to the Potters now, and he wasn't friends with Lily any more.

"What if, I said I wanted you to come with me?" Jody whispered in Snape's ear, holding back a smile to see his ears turn pink—even though they were so close, he still So easy to be shy.Thinking of Snape's shyness, Jody even had the urge to kiss him actively. "I thought we were going to be each other's family earlier than James did?"

Snape was finally convinced by this statement.

The date of the engagement party was chosen after Christmas, on the last sunny weekend before the end of the Christmas holiday, the Potters picked up Lily's parents with a portkey - but the Evans didn't like this way of travel very much. They stayed dizzy for the entire ceremony.Lily's older sister, Penny, was unable to attend the engagement party because she was going back to school.However, anyone who knew the relationship between Lily and Petunia knew that this was just an excuse for Petunia's unwillingness to get in touch with her younger sister.

Besides Jody and Snape, Lupine, Peter and Lily's best friends from school also came to today's engagement party.But strangely, Sirius, James' best friend, was absent.

"Strange, Sirius is late." Lupine frowned strangely.James specially chose this date before the full moon to hold the engagement ceremony. He hoped that all his good friends could come to attend. Sirius' absence is undoubtedly a bit strange.

But James didn't feel surprised: "He said he was going to give me a special gift, maybe it will arrive later."

His gaze turned to Jody and Snape who stood outside the crowd, isolated by everyone. "On the contrary, it surprised me even more that he would come."

"..." Lily bit her lip lightly.She hasn't spoken to them since that day.The presence of Jody and Snape renews her optimism about their friendship.If Voldemort could be wiped out sooner in the future, maybe when they got married, she would be able to ask Jody to be her bridesmaid, as she had hoped in the past?

The presence of Jody and Snape was no surprise to the Potters.They actually welcomed the arrival of the bereaved Snape.But for Lily and James, Snape's appearance undoubtedly made them feel complicated.But in any case, as today's protagonists, they still have the responsibility and obligation to say hello to Jody and Snape.

"Bless you." Unlike Snape, whose expression was so cold that he didn't look like he was at a party, Jody at least kept a basic smile on her face, even though she didn't look really happy.

James noticed that Jody had been staring coldly at the rings on his and Lily's hands, which were only qualified to be worn by the patriarch of the Potter family.He frowned, and when Lily took his arm, he finally endured and said nothing.Jody's staring at the ring made him more uncomfortable than anything before.

After taking the Order of the Phoenix as his future goal, James is no longer as pure as he used to be.He began to pay attention to the information in the newspaper with Lily, and analyzed the situation revealed with her.He began to think seriously about Jody's position, and began to think about what the Death Eaters might hope for through Jody.

And this answer, which he has not been able to determine for a long time, seems to have appeared when Jody stared at the ring on his finger.He couldn't help frowning.

The wealth of the Potter family and its status in the wizarding world were completely connected with the ring on Jody's hand at the moment Jody showed that cold look.James could suddenly understand why Voldemort had seduced Jody, even though he probably wished he hadn't.

Sirius, who had promised to come to the party, didn't show up until late at night.However, he did not bring his so-called unexpected gift to visit Potter's house with Uncle Alphard as agreed with James.He was bruised and covered in blood, and he fell in front of Potter's house the moment Mrs. Potter opened the door.

No one thought that such a thing would happen suddenly, and the Evans couple on the side froze, with a horrified expression on their faces.This was the first time they recognized the danger in the magic world, and they didn't understand how a 16-year-old boy would suddenly encounter such danger.

Seeing Sirius' situation, Jody couldn't help but gasped, and exchanged a look with Snape, she wasn't sure how Regulus would react when he knew about it.

Liz took the letter and flew out of a window on the top floor of No. 12 Grimmauld Place, fluttering her wings and making a low cry.

Regulus in the room recognized that the owl belonged to Jody, he opened the window to let the owl in, and took out the owl food to reward the messenger.But this time, the beautiful owl refused to wait any longer on the perch, delivered the letter in a hurry, and left with flapping wings.

An uneasy premonition welled up in Regulus' heart.He lowered his head and found that the handwriting on the envelope looked a bit scribbled, and it was obvious that the person who wrote the letter sent it in a hurry.This was unnatural, and he couldn't help feeling a little nervous—he knew very well that Jody rarely showed his flustered side—and hurriedly opened the envelope.

Immediately afterwards, the letter fell from between his fingers to the floor.

—— Sirius Black was injured and unconscious, and Alphard Black, who loved Sirius Black, died.
