Tia Prince, this name is obviously not unfamiliar to Hermione and others here. During the time when Tia stayed at the old Black residence at 12 Grimmauld Place, which was the former stronghold of the Order of the Phoenix, many people had actually met her. Even Harry, who was the first to meet her, had met her. Just sit there.
As for the fact that Tia's real surname was Snape and that she was Professor Snape's sister, it wasn't until later that everyone learned about it.
So when John mentioned that the little witch of Ilvermorny who skipped school and went to New York more than ten years ago and was involved in that case was the Tia they knew, everyone suddenly had an indescribable feeling.
"You said 'Tia Prince'?" Hermione was stunned when she heard this, and then said with some surprise, "Oh, yes... that is Professor Snape's mother's surname. It was Tia who came to the UK. The old last name I used before.”
"Yes," Harry nodded in agreement, "I still remember her saying that she did graduate from Ilvermorny. But I didn't expect that the person who led her into the magical world to become a wizard, It’s you, Mr. Stewart!”
Just when Hermione, Harry and others all looked surprised and began to show signs of acquaintance with Tia, John was naturally quite surprised as well.
But it has to be said that just because of Tia, a common acquaintance, the distance between him and Hermione and others that was still a little distant has suddenly become much closer.
"Oh, you all know Miss Prince too?" He couldn't help being a little surprised, and gradually said, "Oh, so that's it... you are Severus Snape's students, I should have thought of that. Then she … Are you okay now?”
Just because Britain has become like this, after the initial catastrophe, it is actually hard for John to imagine that Tia will still be safe and sound. So when he came to Europe with the team not long ago, the first thing he thought of was to take his younger brother to find Snape, who was said to be Tia's biological brother, in order to meet her.
But who knew that Snape was so defensive that he refused on the spot without even saying a word.
Fortunately, Hermione and others in front of him didn't seem to show any sad emotions when talking about Tia. This at least made John feel at ease in advance.
Sure enough, after seeing the look on John's face when Hermione asked about Tia, Hermione waved her hands as if she understood something and said:
"Don't worry, Tia is fine. She should be over there in France now - the Blois family provided us with several communities to house the wizards who were evacuated in an emergency. As far as I know, Tia has also been there. Stayed."
"Really?" After hearing this, John couldn't help but nodded repeatedly, "It's okay... In fact, I had already seen Mr. Snape before coming here. I just wanted to see Miss Prince. Who knew? Mr. Snape refused to disclose her whereabouts... Of course, I can understand it, after all, the current situation-"
Having said this, John spread his hands, shook his head, and sighed.
"Um... By the way, where did I just say it?" He scratched his head, "Oh, yes, the Aurors found Miss Prince in the river! When they fished her out of the river, she had already She lost consciousness. After some examination, we found that she must have been hit by a very powerful coma spell - she was only in the second grade at that time, and all of a sudden, she was forced to recuperate for almost half a month!"
After sighing again, he continued:
"But in hindsight, that was actually lucky... That night, after we found Miss Prince floating down the river, we knew what must have happened in the convent. So obviously, including me Inside, two teams of wizards led by Aurors rushed in from the main entrance and the side window respectively, and decided to conduct a surprise operation... "
…
In fact, at that time, John had been guarding outside the monastery with the Aurors for several days. Even with the rotation of surveillance, everyone had accumulated a lot of fatigue.
However, after not being able to make any breakthrough for a long time, the unexpected situation caused by the appearance of Little Tia made the Auror leader of the team immediately make a decision - this opportunity should not be missed.
However, at that time, they never imagined that in that monastery, where everything seemed normal, there would be a group of such terrifying and bizarre "beasts" hiding!
"...No one is here, come in!"
That night, John followed the team that entered from the side of the monastery. After seeing the leading Auror enter, he quickly stretched out his hand and waved to everyone outside the window to show that there were no enemies. Then he followed the others and climbed through the window one after another. indoor.
The window they chose was actually the window through which Tia escaped not long ago, because while most of the windows were closed, only the glass of this window had been broken in advance.
"Come here quickly, there are traces of fighting in the corridor over there!"
The Auror in charge of the investigation had already moved forward. After hearing this, John and others quickly followed. But compared to the well-trained and experienced Auror members in front of them, he and another companion from the Stewart family were somewhat slower.
After following him, John heard several Aurors having a brief discussion about the traces in the corridor.
"A very rough fighting method," one of the old Aurors looked at the corner and said, "Look, the force of this blow is very strong, not even lost to the troll."
"And the speed is amazing," another younger Auror also said, "Look at that footprint, it rushed here in just one step from such a distance... It's really scary! We'd better be careful."
The Aurors lowered their voices and exchanged a few words, and then they all closed their mouths because they were all aware of the danger here.
However, the mission must still be carried out. When Aurors handle cases, they never retreat when faced with difficulties.
"Keep going!" The leader waved his hand and said with a frown, "Look at the traces. The two parties that fought here before came out from that way and then turned back again - be vigilant, standard formation, and be ready at any time. fighting!"
Before the words were spoken, the Aurors skillfully moved to their own positions as they walked. And since the Aurors had already explained many things to John and the others these days, the two of them didn't know what to do at this time, so after reacting, John immediately went to his station. Cooperated with the Auror team.
However, what awaits them ahead is still unknown.
