Since Snape has never revealed anything about his family's past to the outside world, and Maka, one of the few insiders, will naturally not deliberately cause trouble for the former, so only few people know Tia's true identity. not much.
However, after all, Tia experienced her entire childhood and adolescence in the United States. Even if her existence during those years was "small" to almost transparent, people who knew her to some extent were obviously better than those in the United Kingdom, France, etc. More land.
It's just that Tia has always been timid and never takes the initiative when dealing with others, so maybe even Maka, who first tried to contact her and helped her get to know Professor Snape, didn't know much about her past living in the United States. .
Of course, no one knows whether Maka knows or speculates more about her - right now, there are very few people in Europe who even know about Maka's own situation. !
Therefore, when Tia suddenly appeared in Aberforth's temporary bar today and specifically asked about the specific situation of teachers and students at Hogwarts, everyone was a little more confused.
Dedalus was like this, Aberforth was a little bit like this, and Kingsley, who came later, obviously was also like this.
"... Well, maybe you know that both our place and the Muggle community in Italy where Professor McGonagall and the others are located are fully enclosed areas designed for evacuation. So, although we have connections there, But they don't exchange information with each other every day... If you want to know the situation there a week ago, then I can tell you that they have settled down relatively smoothly... As for how this week has been, I don't know. .”
Kingsley is undoubtedly a very down-to-earth person. Or to be more precise, he is a person who is down-to-earth, kind and sincere to others, low-key and steady without losing his personal charm.
Because when Tia settled in Black's old house, Kingsley would often come and go there. Even if he was definitely not familiar with this timid woman, he was not too unfamiliar.
But for Tia, it is much easier to talk to someone like this who is at least a "familiar face"... Okay! It looked like he was still a little nervous after all.
"Shackle... Sir, thank you for your answer, but... I don't know if it would be convenient for me to deliver a letter there."
After Tia said this hesitantly while holding the already empty glass, Kingsley couldn't help but feel a little curious.
Of course, it was definitely not appropriate to inquire about the content of the other party's letter. Even if it was not possible to do so in the current situation, he still had enough reasons to trust Tia.
"Who is it written to? Can I know?" Kingsley tried to ask in a retreat.
Since it is a letter, it is natural to write the recipient. Even if there is no such question, you will naturally know it when you get the letter. So when he asked this question at this time, it was just to show Tia his calmness out of curiosity.
You know, trust is always mutual. Kingsley hopes to get along well with Tia - as a trustworthy friend.
And this is why Kingsley has always been so popular.
It's a pity that Tia is still unable to detect the kindness shown by Kingsley, because she has not had many friends since she was a child, and she doesn't know how to make friends. Even after she recognized her brother, she was much more relaxed than before.
"It's…Professor Severus Snape."
Tia, who was completely unaware of the other party's exchange of trust, just gave her answer honestly and purely, and obviously without any subsequent explanation.
"Oh, is it... er, Professor Snape?"
After listening to Tia's answer, Kingsley subconsciously waited for a moment. Without waiting for Tia's more words, he finally said something unexpected about "Severus Snape". There was a corresponding reaction to the name.
Yes, because Snape has never been very popular and is always quite "isolated" when he comes and goes, even Kingsley knows that except for Dumbledore and Maka, few people usually take the initiative. Contact this "comrade" who is also working in the Order of the Phoenix.
Nowadays, Professor McGonagall is often contacted by various parties, and professors such as Flitwick, Sprout, and Slughorn occasionally receive greetings from others, but Snape almost never has anyone write to him. , this is the best proof.
Unexpectedly, someone suddenly appeared who wanted to write to Snape... and she was a woman!
Although Tia always looks timid and has no sense of existence, I have to say that she still looks pretty good. There was such a timid woman who suddenly ran out of the house as if she mustered up the courage, and took the initiative to care about Snape's safety in the face of the disaster. This made Kingsley, who had never had a gossip mentality, unable to help himself. I started thinking a little bit wildly.
"Is Mr. Snape, who has always been single, finally saying goodbye to being alone?"
Although the idea that popped up in his mind for no reason made Kingsley have some thoughts, he was still stable enough and did not show any signs of it. After regaining consciousness for a moment, he turned around and said:
"Oh, of course! No problem... Have you finished writing the letter? Once you have written it, you can give it to me directly. I will contact the Blois family to help send it to Italy."
"Ah, not yet... not yet, but... tomorrow."
Just like before, Tia still didn't notice Kingsley's slightly strange pause. She just lowered her eyes and spoke cautiously.
Afterwards, Tia, who had gotten the result she wanted, did not stay any longer at Aberforth - she was still not used to the atmosphere of getting along with others, especially as the time got later and the number of people in the temporary bar became more and more... more. Soon, she whispered goodbye, stood up and left.
Watching Tia's back disappear at the door, Kingsley turned around and said to Aberforth at the bar: "Open a bottle of Burgundy, today is a good day to try your luck... By the way, this When did the lady come today?"

"About an hour ago!" Dedalo replied on his behalf.
At the bar, Aberforth didn't speak at first. He just pulled out a red wine bottle from the wine rack at the back and skillfully opened the bottle, poured the wine, and decanted it.
Finally, he said casually, seemingly casually:
"There's something wrong with her mood... She seems to be afraid of something."
