Chapter 2376 John Stewart
"I don't think I need to change my mind."
As soon as he entered the door, Snape immediately answered the owner of the voice unceremoniously, and it seemed a bit too decisive. It seems that he hates each other a little bit.
But, of course, he was Severus Snape after all, and it didn't take much detail to hate someone. Although Minerva, who was following him, noticed this detail keenly, she didn't think about it for the time being.
Because what needs her attention more now is obviously the several infiltrators hiding here.
So the next moment, Snape, who was the first to enter the door, gave way to the side of the door, followed by Minerva and immediately walked in.
"Hello, all uninvited 'guests', I'm Minerva McGonagall. I don't know...do you have anything you want to explain to me?"
As soon as Minerva stepped into the room, her eyes swept across the small living room in front of her, and she took in a total of three strange faces who were either sitting or standing. While observing, she did not forget to say hello, her polite words were tinged with thorns, which clearly showed her attitude towards these uninvited guests.
It can only be seen that the three people in this small living room seem to have different expressions at this time, and it is not easy for Minerva to make any judgment for a while.
She only remembered that Snape had reminded them before that these were some wizards from America.
"Oh! So it was Ms. McGonagall... yes yes, I must first apologize to you on behalf of my brother Brooks, the kid - you know, the kid with the camera - it was just an accident !Actually, we didn’t want too many people to know about our trip, so my younger brother did it subconsciously at the time... But at least he still has a sense of control, doesn’t he?”
As soon as Minerva finished speaking, the middle-aged man in a suit sitting at the table with a cup of coffee in his hand immediately stood up and readily apologized. He just apologized, but he still didn't intend to put down the coffee in his hand. In the end, he brought it to his mouth and took a sip, which seemed very insincere.
And this naturally made it hard for Minerva to believe that he really wanted to apologize.
On the other hand, the younger-looking male wizard who had been standing by the old sofa since they entered the room seemed to bow to this side very sincerely.
Needless to say, this is probably the younger brother "Brooks" that the man in the suit said.
As for the skinny wizard who is still sitting on the bench in the corner, he has always maintained an indifferent look, and the expression on his face is even more monotonous than Snape... No, maybe it should be called "" Numb" is right.
Minerva paid attention to the expressions of the three again, and then frowned slightly and said:
"Apologizing is never the best way to solve problems, not to mention that the one you injured was a child. Before that, there is another question that seems to require you to give a reasonable answer-in the current situation where disasters are rampant Next, what are you doing here?"
There is no doubt that this is an extremely sensitive time for many people, and everyone is suffering from the edge of disaster, and even the disaster. At this time, no one would welcome uninvited guests like the three in front of them.
In other words, to put it in a simpler and rougher way: What are you doing running around in other people's territory at a time like this? How dare you hurt someone?
Are you courting death?
But the man in the suit on the other side was slightly taken aback when he heard that, and then he couldn't help but glanced at Snape with some doubts.
"Mr. Snape, didn't you tell Ms. McGonagall?"
"I'm not in the habit of publicizing private matters."
Standing beside Minerva, Snape, who hadn't spoken except for the first sentence, obviously didn't have much desire to speak at this time, and just replied lightly before closing his mouth again.
When the man in the suit saw him, it was difficult for him to answer his words for a while, but he shook his head as if he was a little embarrassed.
The next moment, he turned his head and looked at Minerva and shrugged:
"Ms. McGonagall, this... is really not easy to explain. In short, the three of us came here specially to find Mr. Snape. The child before... was really just an accident."
This guy also seems to be very aware that his words have never been convincing, so when he answered this time, he added "really" to show his sincerity.
And it wasn't until this moment that Minerva finally couldn't help turning her head to look at Snape, but unfortunately, there was nothing to be seen from that expressionless side face.
"...Severus."
Due to the current turmoil and changeable situation in Europe, even though Minerva was still willing to respect this colleague in her heart, and she didn't like to inquire about other people's privacy at will, she could only say this for the safety of the students at this time.
After all, the three people in front of them are acting sneaky, and the man in the suit at the head is frivolous and weird, it really doesn't look like they can make people feel at ease.
On the opposite side, Snape saw that Minerva had already called his name with a serious expression, and his eyes could not help but flicker in the pupils that had seemed hollow due to years of habit of Occlumency.
After a while of thinking, he finally frowned helplessly and sighed.
"It's a family matter...it has something to do with Tia." He said impatiently, "That guy's younger brother knows Tia, and he wants to see Tia this time...I won't allow it."
"Tia?"
Of course, Minerva already knew a little about Snape's sister. Thinking that Tia had indeed been living in the United States before coming to England, she couldn't help but nodded slightly.
"So, the three of you came here just for a private matter with Severus? And Mr. Creevey's injury was really just an accident?"
As she spoke, she looked at the man in the suit opposite again with some hesitation.
"Of course it is! It's just a personal matter! It's just an accident!" The other party exaggeratedly spread his right hand that was not holding the coffee cup, but just after saying this, he tilted his head and curled his lips in regret, saying, "...I wanted to say that, but unfortunately, the truth is obviously not that simple... If I have to say it, this 'private matter' between my brother and Mr. Snape's sister is just incidental—"
Having said that, he suddenly raised his neck and drank the coffee in the cup, and then finally put the coffee cup in his hand on the old table beside him. In the next second, he suddenly bowed and saluted with an impeccable posture.
"Sorry, it's late, but please allow me to introduce myself—my name is John Stewart."
