In today's Europe, it is natural to be cautious. Under the chaos, anything can happen, and any danger can be encountered. If you are not careful, no one knows what the situation will be like in the next moment.
Especially here with Minerva, there is a large group of students behind her who need to be responsible for her. If there is an eventuality... no, she is absolutely not allowed to show up even if there is even an "in case".
For this reason, it was impossible for her to follow Sirius' suggestion in this matter - that would obviously be too reckless.
However, while she and Sirius were waiting outside for Flitwick to call the other professors, they discovered that he seemed to have made up his mind to hide in the old apartment opposite, even a little bit. When there was no movement, she knew that she might not be able to find a suitable breakthrough point in a short time.
However, for the safety of the students, it is definitely not possible to delay the process for too long. After all, when there is almost no understanding of the other party, who can know whether the other party is secretly doing something terrible
Yes, just like the previous incident of privately cultivating living corpses that triggered major changes in the International Federation of Wizards, it is a typical case that is enough to give everyone a warning!
Therefore, when Flitwick finally came over with Sprout and other professors to meet him, Minerva hesitated and put aside Sirius' plan that was obviously risky but might actually work. Among the options to be selected for reference.
"... By the way, Filius, you still haven't found Severus?"
After conferring with Flitwick, Sprout and others, she suddenly asked again.
"Um?"
Flitwick couldn't help but be startled when he heard it, and then he reacted and looked around in confusion for a moment.
"I bumped into it!" he whispered, "Speaking of which... yes! Didn't Professor Snape come over? He clearly said he would come here first."
Hearing this, Minerva couldn't help but frown slightly, not to mention Sirius beside her.
"Professor McGonagall, you want me to see—"
Sirius was about to say something, but looking at his expression when he spoke, it was obvious that he didn't have much trust in Snape. But before she could continue, Minerva shook her head and blocked the next words.
"Sirius, are you sure those infiltrators are inside, right?" she said, "Since they haven't made any movement inside, please continue to keep an eye here until I go to Severus to ask. Let’s deal with it later.”
In addition to the professors present who were summoned by Flitwick, there were several other teachers including Professor of Astronomy Sinister, as well as Aurors assigned by Madam Maxime to manage and protect the students. Although even in this case, everyone may not be able to feel at ease, but at least there is some leeway.
Judging from the situation mentioned by Sirius before, it is necessary to talk to Snape.
"Okay, Minerva, don't worry, leave this to us." Professor Sprout nodded to her, indicating that she didn't have to worry too much.
Sprout cared about those students even more deeply than Minerva did. In order for the little wizards to live safely in this community, she decided to stand in front of the children even if she risked her life from the moment she learned about it.
"Well, I'll be back soon." Minerva said and turned to leave.
…
Unlike Sirius, who has never trusted Snape, Minerva still has a lot of recognition for this colleague who usually has a long face all day long, although most of it actually comes from Dumbledore's "words" in the past. ”, and Maka’s consistent “exemplary teachings”.
As for the other part, of course it comes from the relationship between myself and Snape who have been Hogwarts professors for so many years.
All right! To be honest, personally, Minerva didn't have a very good impression of Snape. If she hadn't never allowed herself to look at people with prejudice at work, she would definitely not have wanted to say a word to the other person - the two people's personalities and concepts are indeed very different.
In fact, for so many years, she rarely talked to Snape outside of work.
But no matter where it came from, Minerva still had enough trust in Snape, so she had immediately stopped him when she realized what Sirius was about to say.
At present, half of them are actually living under the shelter of others, and disasters and chaos are rampant. At this time, she didn't want any voices inside that might arouse mutual suspicion, that would be the worst.
"Tuk-tuk-tuk."
Standing at the door of Snape's makeshift potion preparation room, Minerva knocked on the door, but received no response. After waiting for a few seconds, she simply reached out and opened the door, pushed it open and took a look inside.
No one, Snape wasn't here.
Before she came in, she had already visited the abandoned park mentioned by Flitwick. It was also deserted and there was no trace of the other party.
"Is it possible that Sirius should be asked to follow the clues again?"
Minerva was thinking this when she suddenly heard a soft "click" behind her. She stepped back and returned to the corridor. She turned around and looked to the side, only to see that the door to the next door had been opened. Who else came out if it wasn't Snape
"Professor McGonagall...are you looking for me?"
Nowadays, Snape still has that cold and indifferent expression, but after going through those things and having a younger sister, he feels at least better than he did in those years.
But today, right now, Minerva suddenly felt that he seemed to have a sudden tendency to change back.

"Sirius said just now that you have met those infiltrators?" Putting aside the feeling in her heart for the time being, Minerva asked, "Who are they? Do you... know them?" "
After a moment of silence, probably only a few seconds, Snape shook his head and said:
"It's not acquaintance, it's just some personal grudges between me and them... I won't go into that. As for their identities, if you want to know, I just happened to know a little bit - they should be considered Ilvermorny. people."
"Ilvermorny?"
After Minerva heard this, she was suddenly startled and couldn't help but said to herself:
"What are they doing here? And... why are they hurting Mr. Creevey?"
