Chapter 2378
"Yes ma'am, the kid who took the picture... It was really just a small accident. You know, we are also wand makers, and we still have a little research on how to make the wand go berserk temporarily! You see, you Hogwarts Those who come out here, the wands are basically made by Garrick Ollivander, right? That guy can only rely on unicorn hair, phoenix tail feathers and dragon nerves when choosing the core, although his crafting skills are really not good. Of course, there are individual differences between the two unicorns and the two dragons, but it is too monotonous after all... Mr. Ollivander himself is not good at spell combat. There are still loopholes in actual combat, especially when encountering wizards like us who are also wand makers..."
The matter of Colin's fainting has always been a big contradiction between the two sides. Even if John had explained it just now, it would not be enough for Minerva to take the initiative to settle the matter with him. For this reason, after talking with Snape just now, John Stewart immediately picked up this topic again, and explained the reasons in detail.
When Minerva heard what John said, she immediately discovered that many details were in line with what she had obtained from Colin's previous inspection.
But in the final analysis, it was because Colin's child hadn't suffered much harm, otherwise she wouldn't be so calm at the moment.
"That is to say, you really just don't want to expose your whereabouts to more people?"
Seeing that Minerva asked such a question after deliberating for a moment, John on the opposite side could only shrug his shoulders helplessly, and then pushed Snape aside:
"Actually, it can't be said to be 'just'—it's not a small matter, but it's really a 'private matter', since Mr. Snape doesn't want to talk about it, I can't pretend to be generous and clear up your doubts for him Yes. But as long as Ms. McGonagall still trusts Mr. Snape, why don't you listen to his opinion of the three of us... how about it?"
Since it was about Snape, why should he be in such a difficult situation, why not just hand it over to Snape to explain?
"Severus?"
Seeing the other party like this, Minerva could only turn her head again and look at Snape beside her.
But at this moment, Snape shook his head slightly.
"Stuart... That's right, you did come to me because of that personal matter before, but apart from that matter, how can I guarantee that you have no other hidden plans? Now you want me to come Help you prove that you are harmless? Isn't it too ridiculous?"
While talking, Snape squinted at the other party with the corner of his mouth curled up, and finally let out a sneer that seemed to be squeezed out of his nose.
And listening to Snape's mocking tone that seemed to always be so, a guy as foolish and unscrupulous as John, he couldn't help feeling a little depressed at this moment.
"Hey!" He couldn't help interrupting Snape, "Why are you guys in the Snape family so extreme? Either you cower and keep silent, or you taunt and sneer so unreasonably... ...Can't we communicate normally?"
John's words were more like a complaint than a rhetorical question. After finishing speaking, he waved his hand again, and then changed the subject:
"Forget it, look at you, I'm afraid you won't be able to handle private or official affairs...Mr. Snape, just remember, if you want,
The promise I made to you earlier is still valid, so think about it! "
"Don't think about it." Snape said firmly after hearing that.
John watched him tilt his head helplessly, thought for a while, and turned his gaze to Minerva again as if giving up.
"Ms. McGonagall, I think the actions of the three of us this time are indeed a bit reckless, and it will cause misunderstandings by your Excellency...and the professors outside. It's just that...in this extraordinary period, we This trip needs to be kept secret, and it shouldn’t be that difficult to understand—you know, we are not the only one in America.”
As he spoke, he pointed and gestured in a certain direction to the west, and then continued:
"In fact, it seems that 'certain people' have noticed the support from people in our 'workshop'."
When Minerva heard what he said, she couldn't help but exchanged glances with Snape.
Yes, although Ilvermorny in the United States and Hogwarts in the United Kingdom have not had much close contact with each other in recent years, the two sides have always had no enmity after all. Even because the founder of Ilvermorny has a close relationship with Hogwarts, if he is willing to reminisce about the past, he may stand on the same front at any time.
Since there is no enmity or resentment, even if Minerva and the others are vigilant at this moment, they naturally always have a prudent mind. Otherwise, Minerva would not have deliberately come to meet and talk with the other party first.
But now that John Stewart mentioned the reason for trying to keep his whereabouts secret, he quickly realized that what this guy said was indeed reasonable.
That's right, Ilvermorny also has rivals in the Americas—because most of the wizards in the United States were not native Americans, when they moved to America in large numbers, they didn't get along well with the native wizards of the Americas from the very beginning. .
If it is said that Ilvermorny has taken almost all the wizarding students from North America, then Castro Busche in Brazil has occupied the share of the enrollment in South America. It is a school with a much longer history than Ilvermorny. America's first wizarding school, which is said to have originated from the original Aztec civilization, is not far behind Hogwarts.
Of course, the former Castro Buscher was indeed not so friendly to the outside world. But after so many years, now, the teachers and students of that school are much easier to get in touch with. Bill had a pen pal of Castrobuscher before!
However, it is a well-known fact that their relationship with Ilvermorny is not good.
Minerva thought about it, but didn't say anything about it, but just nodded slightly.
"Then... the three of you seem to have finished your 'private affairs' with Severus. When are you going to leave? I can understand your difficulties, so I think you can probably understand the difficulties of our Hogwarts." Can you see it? To be honest, we obviously don't have much energy to give the three 'warm hospitality' right now."
Her implication is very clear - since there is nothing else, then leave quickly! We are also very busy here, but we don't have the time to waste energy to stare at you.
This order to expel guests could not be more clear.
