Although the correspondence between the Snape brothers and sisters was fresh, it was obviously not known to too many people. It was destined to be a trivial matter that only spread within a small area.
But the arrival of the Stewart family in the United States, which directly triggered this trivial incident, affected the changes that were much more complicated.
Although there had been a Barlow Stewart in the Stewart family before, he was even one of the two current headmasters of Ilvermorny. But it must be said that after all, it was more of an official overall assistance, and it was appointed by the Magical Congress of the United States of America.
But this time, many people came to the Stewart family, but there was no open communication... Even though Britain has fallen, the International Federation of Wizards in Europe is still functioning normally, and there is not a word from the United States. He said that he secretly sent people here, and the various meanings are somewhat intriguing.
Of course, there are really not many people who know about this matter.
"...Yes, the Stewart family's team has probably entered the UK now. Even if they haven't yet, there will definitely be no further delay when John goes over to join them."
There was a written letter in his pocket, but Snape did not hand it over immediately. Because he didn't have time to contact the people from the Federation responsible for external liaison yet, he was called by Professor McGonagall to discuss the matter.
"This is not a trivial matter." Minerva nodded immediately after hearing Snape's judgment, "Mrs. Maxim's side seems to have not received any news yet, which proves that Ilvermorny's side There are no plans to make this trip public this time.”
"But at least, this has nothing to do with us anymore." Seeing that McGonagall was obviously worried, Snape seemed to be quite disapproving, "Britain no longer exists, doesn't it?"
At least Snape himself didn't have much nostalgia for that so-called hometown. That was the case in the past, and it's similar now.
But…
"That has always been our home!" Minerva frowned and said, "If the Stewart family wants to give us some help, then we will naturally be grateful and grateful! But this time, they are obviously not -"
Due to John Stewart's unreliable personal use of public goods, the number of insiders on the Stewart family's secret trip was now known to more people at Hogwarts.
Therefore, people like Professor McGonagall, who has a clear mind and is always concerned about the overall situation at this time, can't help but start thinking.
However, what does this have to do with Snape? In his opinion, no matter what the Stewart family wanted to do by going to England, it could no longer make this disaster worse, right
"If you are really worried, just talk to Blake."
When mentioning Sirius, Snape's tone seemed a little impatient, but he finally said the suggestion.
Because in this case, this is indeed the most appropriate choice.
"Well, Severus, you are right." Minerva thought for a moment and nodded again, "The people who need to know most about this matter must be Remus and Bill... I will go find Sirius right now. , before he leaves."
"snort."
Snape snorted casually, probably said hello to McGonagall, and then went to find the contact person left here by the Federation to deliver the letter.
…
Of course Sirius hasn't left yet, although his time is actually a bit tight.
Originally, he had not planned to stay at Hogwarts for too long. He still had a lot of things to do—his trip had been quite hasty since he left the war zone.
Just so that the front line can have more self-protection and even take the initiative to attack, he really has to stay here for a while longer.
At this moment, when Professor McGonagall was looking for him everywhere, he was trying hard to persuade Flitwick.
"...Professor, with your strength as a duel champion back then, as long as you have the equipment left by Maka, you will be able to exert enough ability to break the current predicament of the camp. In fact, I originally wanted to invite Professor McGonagall, but After all, she is the Headmaster now, so she really can’t walk away easily... Professor Flitwick, I think I have to leave this matter to you."
It must be said that Sirius is not actually a very good lobbyist - he is obviously better at doing things than talking with people.
It's a pity that he is not strong enough to pick up Maka's rune equipment and fight on his own.
"I really want to go to the front line to fight, but," the little man Flitwick raised his head and looked at Sirius with an eager face, but couldn't help but shook his head, "You have also seen that, in fact, there is nothing here. It’s not even safe. And if we want to protect the children, it’s already quite difficult for just the few of us!”
Compared to just a few professors, there are too many students at Hogwarts. As Flitwick said, the few of them alone are already seriously short of manpower, and they really can't spare the manpower to help at the Granger camp.
If possible, of course Flitwick would also like to go to the front line. After all, there are also a group of his students fighting with their lives over there!
"Well."
Sirius could only sigh slightly when he heard Flitwick say this.
The previous turmoil caused by John Stewart and the three men was not a big deal, but it really highlighted a series of weak links in the community's defense strength at once.
If it were to happen again, and John and his group were replaced by a group of dark wizards with comparable strength and real malice, it's hard to say what the result would be.
It is worth mentioning that although John Stewart is indeed unreliable, the magical strength possessed by himself and his companions cannot be underestimated. Otherwise, they wouldn't have been able to evade the defenses here so easily, and would have gotten right in, and even injured people.
Thinking of this, it was really difficult for Sirius to continue persuading Flitwick.
"Feel sorry."
The little man Flitwick reached out and patted Sirius' arm, looking quite apologetic.
I think back when Sirius, Lupine, and Harry's father were studying at Hogwarts together, Flitwick was already a professor at Hogwarts, and it was he who taught Sirius until graduation. .
But now that disaster has struck today, when his former students came to ask him to help in the battle, he was unable to escape, which was a complete regret for him.
"No, it's nothing, Professor... I'm the one who made things difficult for you." Sirius said with regret but also helplessness.
At this moment, there was suddenly a burst of hurried footsteps outside.
