Chapter 2387 He Avoided
She almost never really cared about what kind of little Tia her biological parents would be. On that day and that night, she finally thought about it, imagined it, and tried to understand it.
Of course, even if Tia was still young, it was impossible for Tia to do something like flying on a broomstick with a weird and abrupt...and an older man who called himself a "wizard". of.
Because whether it is the broom that can carry people in the sky, or the male wizard who appears strangely but is inexplicably familiar, it seems very unreliable, doesn't it?
"...Yes, your mother and I know each other. When I was still in Ilvermorny, the Gobstone Club in the school held a Gobstone friendly match—it was said to be against Hogwarts in England. Gobstones Club. At the time, your mother Erin Prince was the chairman and captain of the other club... But to be honest, she didn't seem to be that much in favor of the event at the time, just Their vice-captain is really enthusiastic..."
John leaned against the wall, and didn't bother to look at Little Tia who was still in the bed, but just recalled those youthful years... Okay! In fact, his age is not that old, after all, he and Tia's mother are not in the same class, how many years younger than the latter!
"...Are you also the chairman of that...'Gobstone' club?"
Little Tia obviously didn't have much interest in the actual game content of "Gobstone", which was considered a niche game in the magic world.
However, it can be seen that after basically accepting what the other party said so far, she has begun to consciously try to understand the world that is still very strange to her—including wizards and magic, including daily life , Of course, it also includes the things that my parents have experienced and the people they have known.
"Uh, me? No, no, I'm not... My identity at the time was a 'reporter'... I don't know if you understand? I was a reporter for our school's school newspaper. I was a rookie at the time, and I was handed over to the 'Whole Recording' Do you think I am very good at such a major task as the United States and Europe jointly organizing a friendship event? Well, let me tell you, I was..."
I don't know if the so-called journalists are always as verbose as this John in front of me, or because this guy is so eloquent that he can become a reporter... Tia doesn't know. She just stopped paying attention to the boasting after the other party very quickly, and only listened carefully when John's words sometimes brought something about his mother—that is, the 'Irene Prince' last listen.
And after listening to the lecture for about half an hour, little Tia finally had a rough impression of her biological mother, whom she had never met since she could remember.
"Doesn't sound... like an easy person to get along with?"
Thinking about it this way,
Little Tia pulled the rim up again, covering the tip of her nose.
"What?" John, who didn't pay much attention to what Tia was saying, finally heard her whisper, and finally stopped the seemingly endless soliloquy, "Oh! It should be Miss Prince...you Is there something about your mother? Well... To tell you the truth, your mother is still quite beautiful - it is said that a small half of the members of the Gobstone Club in Hogwarts 'liked' her! It's a pity that she She is always quiet, rarely sees her take the initiative to pay attention to people, and seems to be very indifferent to everyone... Such a woman is also married and has children. In fact, until the day we met again ten years ago, I was indifferent. It's still unimaginable!"
"My... father... what kind of person is he? Do you know him?"
It was obvious that there was a special sense of unfamiliarity with the title "Dad". Little Tia paused before and after the word, but she still said it.
"Huh? Mr. Snape?" John tilted his head, and Tia couldn't see his expression clearly under the shadows, "How should I put it? The feeling he gave me is actually...not very good. Ten years ago , that was the first time I saw him, and the only time at the same time - he just showed his face, he looked not in a good state, and he was not in a good mood, looking at my eyes... a bit chills down the back .”
Speaking of this, he seemed to have recalled the scene when they met for the first time, and shrank his neck with a fresh memory.
"...By the way, your father is a Muggle... oh, just an ordinary person, someone who doesn't know magic." After setting aside some memories, John suddenly remembered, and said to Little Tia, "You It should be conceivable that a wizard and an ordinary person marry, which is actually a very rare thing... Even in the United States, it is not very common."
One of the founders of Ilvermorny was a Muggle, and he married the witch wife who was also the founder, and even passed on the surname "Stuart" to him. So when he said this sentence, it actually lacked some persuasiveness.
Fortunately, Little Tia definitely didn't know these things yet, and John was indeed telling the truth this time.
Sure enough, Tia didn't notice the emotion and reverie in John's words. She doesn't know all the tortuous history of the wizarding world over the past few hundred years, nor the school history of Ilvermorny, so she is just a little curious about these things, that's all.
"Ordinary people marrying witches... sounds a bit strange." Probably remembering the contents about witches that were occasionally mentioned in church books, Tia muttered, but quickly put aside those thoughts and asked, " So, where are Dad and Mom now...?"
It was not because Little Tia was too careless to ask this question until now. It's just determined by her personality and habits. Many things that are most important to her must be left at the end before she dares to touch them.
However, from this question, it can be seen that Tia at that time was still a child after all. Otherwise, based on her years of living in the orphanage, she could always guess something.
"Ok--"
Sure enough, hearing Little Tia mentioning this, John's mouth, which seemed to be unable to stop, pursed slightly, and fell silent for a rare moment.
"... that wand you keep on the bedside table, with the core taken from the one your mother used to use... I think it will suit you very well, Miss Prince."
John still seemed to insist on referring to young Tia as "Prince" instead of "Snape"...even though he obviously knew who Tia's father was.
As for Tia's question, he avoided it.
