Chapter 2437 Different Angles

"...Yes, when the initial news reached the institute, we actually didn't pay much attention to it. Although there were more than one dead person in the case at the beginning, and there were Muggles and wizards, it obviously has nothing to do with us It doesn't matter. At most... Well, many of the suspects listed in the case are graduates of Ilvermorny... But since they are in the United States, who is not? All in all, this is the business of the Magic Congress anyway. We just need to read the newspaper together after work, which is equivalent to adding another dispensable topic of chatting in our spare time."

"But soon, the higher-ups seem to have discovered something wrong—it seems that some students were involved in that case!"

In the empty restaurant, John's voice was echoing faintly. It was probably because everyone was free tonight, so he didn't speak very fast, every word seemed to be gossiping, and he narrated a past event in front of Hermione and the others.

"Perhaps you all know something. Our research institute has always been regarded as a subsidiary department of Ilvermorny. We can basically know what happened in the school. Coincidentally, there were two students in the school when the school started. According to the investigation, both of them went to New York—and in some of the information collected by Auror, there appeared to be figures of these two students!"

Having said that, John seemed to shake his head helplessly, and then added:

"It's even more coincidental...how should I put it? I know these two little guys. One is a freshman I personally introduced to Ilvermorny, and the other...is my younger brother!"

"Sounds bad."

Ron, who was not far away, scratched his head, and answered subconsciously, but first exchanged a deep glance from Ginny on the other side. It's like saying, "Compared to worrying, you may not be much worse than him".

Then, John on the opposite side nodded to Ron and said:

"It's very bad, because after the first few days, with the further investigation by the Aurors of the Magic Congress, it was discovered that the case was more complicated than everyone imagined... and scary! The death incident did not happen again, but Congress realized after accidentally synthesizing several other cases that this case may also be related to a series of cases about the abnormal disappearance of Muggle children at the Muggle Mediation Office. .In addition to the fact that the victims who died of the Killing Curse were discovered at the beginning of the case, it should be a Muggle family with a child, but the child also disappeared without a trace... Things became It's getting serious."

John picked up the goblet and took a sip of the remaining wine just now, and continued:

"Then our director brought the management to a meeting, and decided to intervene in the investigation-after all, my brother seemed to be involved in it too! Of course, more importantly, our institute...or more precisely, It is us, the Stewart family, who are more familiar with and care more about Muggle society than the Muggle Regulation Office of the Magical Congress of America! Our family has always been working hard to repair the gap between Muggles and wizards."

The last sentence here is actually considered a digression here, John shook his head as he spoke, and then brought the topic back to the case back then.

"The family was going to have someone, so I volunteered to take a spot. The director, the elders in the family, asked one of my uncles to lead the team. Counting me, a total of five people set off for New York together."

So far,

John sighed suddenly, looked at Hermione and the others and said:

"At that time, no one expected that the subsequent situation once again exceeded the imagination of each of us! The family has added elites twice, and our first team has a total of more than twenty people, all of whom are good players ! But in the end, there are only five people left, including myself, and one of them is Brooks who was rescued in the end... Oh, that is my younger brother."

...

The case that happened in the American wizarding world ten years ago was indeed a big case, because at that time many people died solidly, including wizards and Muggles. In a way, it's even comparable to the events caused by England's Voldemort, because both are equally secretive after the fact.

Of course, for Tia, who was a witness to that case, the feeling was completely different.

"... At the beginning, Alisa just took me by my side. She taught me how to survive in the city as a homeless person on the streets of New York, and not to be hungry every day— ——She took me to several places, told me where and when there would be something to get, told me where it was warmer and safer to sleep, and told me those people could get along well, and those people had better not be close... Later we We were separated for a few days—she left for something, and I lived alone on the street for a few days, and with the experience that Alyssa gave me, it was actually okay."

"And until a few days later, Alisa came back, and she said to me that she found a good place, it was like a big family, there were many homeless people like her and me, and they could be like a family. Live together in harmony, happiness and warmth! She told me that she found heaven."

In this old house in the refuge complex, Tia's narration continued. Maybe those days ten years ago were really beautiful to her...or maybe it was "created" very beautiful! Talking about it to this day, she can still see a trace of longing with regret on her face.

Yes, if not for those things that came after.

"I went. At that time, I trusted Alisa very much. I believed that she would not lie to me. At that time, Alisa was more amiable than anyone I had ever met—speaking of it, maybe a bit like Wes Mrs Leigh."

Having said that, she smiled at Severus who was opposite, and continued after seeing the other party's lip curl slightly.

"Of course, it turns out that everything is fake." The smile on Tia's face soon disappeared, she pursed her lips, and said bitterly, but more fearfully, "When I first got there, I did see There are many warm and friendly people, and there are many delicious and fun things. Everyone is willing to share happiness with me... Among them, there are also children who are about my age, and even orphans. When I tell my past , they could understand my pain and fear—something my classmates at Ilvermorny could not."

"It's just that things changed soon..."
