This time, the Stewart family clearly made a lot of determination to secretly explore the disaster area in Britain. This can be seen to some extent from the hands of the people they sent this time - it can be said that there are almost no mediocre players in this team, and any one picked can represent the first-class strength of the American magic world today.
The "Mason's Workshop" in Ilvermorny is full of talents. Whether it is fighting or doing research, there is no shortage of experts in all aspects. Taken together, it is not even better than the previous Order of the Phoenix, which was still led by Dumbledore. Difference.
Looking back on those days, Greenwald also made waves in the United States, but he never took the initiative to provoke Ilvermorny from the beginning to the end. Most of this was because of the existence of this special family research institute.
Although Greenwald was not afraid of the Stewart family, it was just that based on his understanding, he felt that there was no need to add another powerful enemy to himself.
As for what kind of "understanding" Greenwald has about the Stewart family... Actually, this is not a secret.
Anyone who has the opportunity and conditions to know about the "Mason's Workshop" will roughly know that this mixed-blood wizard family inherited from the founder of Ilvermorny has always had a rule, that is, everything is based on protection and struggle. Ilvermorny's interests come first, followed by breaking the barriers between wizards and Muggles. Other than that, they quietly conduct various magical research in the research institute and never take the initiative to get involved in other parties' disputes.
No one would want to provoke such a low-key yet profound force, and... to be honest, it would be easily ignored and forgotten by people.
But this time, just as this disaster is coming to Europe, the power of this American family that was almost forgotten suddenly took action. And it's not a private act, but a major initiative to unite with the Magical Congress of the United States of America!
The reasons are actually somewhat intriguing.
So far, not many people are aware of this secret team, but those who are aware of it have actually opened their eyes wide and are "watching" all possible movements around the UK. .
And obviously, because of John Stewart's private trip with his younger brother, the current Hogwarts side headed by Professor McGonagall must be one of the few. Therefore, even in this season when she was somewhat busy with herself, Minerva did not simply put aside their appearance after the brothers left.
In comparison, Snape, who actually knew more details, seemed a little too careless at this time.
"Tuk-tuk-tuk."
Suddenly, there was a knock on the door, causing Severus, who had been hiding in the laboratory to read a letter, to pause slightly as he tapped his fingertips on the table.
Tia's letter is not long. Even if it mentions some things about her past, the total amount of ink used is far less than the summary of experience in a potion experiment.
The amount of information in it was enough to make Snape think about it for a long time. Even until the moment when the knock on the door came, he had not completely cleared his thoughts.
"who?"
Pressing his palm lightly on the letter, Snape tilted his head slightly and asked loudly.
"It's me, Professor, Minerva McGonagall."
"Headmaster?" Snape paused briefly, then folded the letter lying on the laboratory table and stuffed it back into the envelope, "Please come in, the door is unlocked."
While speaking, Snape was about to put the letter into the drawer, but thought about it but stopped midway. And just when he hesitated for a few seconds, the door of the laboratory was opened from the outside, and the thin and tall figure of Professor McGonagall quickly walked in.
Snape didn't think much about it, left the letter on the table, stood up and went to greet it.
"Principal, what do you want from me?"
"Well," Mag nodded, closed the door with his backhand, and then said, "Mrs. Maxim got the news that the Stewart brothers had appeared at the port of Calais, France..."
"Have you told Maxim about this?" Snape frowned slightly.
After all, the Stewart brothers' trip was mainly because of Tia. It involved his sister, so he naturally cared about it.
To be honest, Snape has always been unreliable when it comes to Olim Maxim. In his opinion, Madame Maxime was similar to that little girl Granger, the kind of guy who seemed smart and capable on the surface, but was naive and childish in his actions.
However, the one who has given Hogwarts teachers and students a safe place to rest is none other than the French Beauxbatons headmistress and the current president of the International Federation of Wizards.
Minerva could probably guess some of the reasons for Snape's dissatisfaction based on her understanding of him. But soon she waved her hand and said:
"Even if I don't say it, I can't hide this from her. Let's not talk about it for now. Severus, I'm just worried that Mr. Potter and the others are also over in England. This time the Stewart family takes action, which may affect to their actions."

"Then there's nothing we can do," Snape didn't bother too much about Maxim's matter. Seeing McGonagall express his worries, he followed suit, "And with the Stewart family's usual style, it should be He will not do anything detrimental to us."
Speaking of this, he suddenly remembered the old secrets about the Stewart family that Tia mentioned in her letter, and paused subconsciously.
"What's wrong?"
McGonagall has always been a person with keen senses. She noticed Snape's strange pause almost immediately, and then asked.
"Well."
Just before McGonagall came in, Snape had hesitated once about whether to put away the letter. At this time, because his conversation with McGonagall reminded him of some of the contents in the letter, he finally stopped hesitating and made a decision.
"I may know what the Stewart family's action is for."
"What?" Mag was stunned when he heard this, "What did John say to you?"
"No, it's not because of him... well, at least not because of what he said this time." Snape shook his head, then turned around and picked up the letter from Tia from the experimental table, paused for a moment, and finally Still reaching out and handing it to Mag opposite, "This is the letter Tia wrote to me."
"Is this...convenient?"
Although McGonagall was one of the few insiders regarding Snape's biological sister, reading other people's private letters was obviously not appropriate even with Snape's consent.
"Look! There is an old story about the Stewart family that is worth paying attention to." Snape raised his hand.
