Chapter 2460 Mutual Friend
Tia Prince, this name is obviously not unfamiliar to Hermione and others here. During the period when Tia lived in Black's old house at 12 Grimmauld Place, which was once the stronghold of the Order of the Phoenix, many people actually met her, even Harry, who was the first to meet her, now Just sit there.
As for the fact that Tia's real surname is Snape and she is Professor Snape's younger sister, it was not known until later.
So when John mentioned that the little Ilvermorny witch who played truant 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 taken aback when she heard that, and then she said in surprise, "Oh, yes... that's Professor Snape's mother's surname, and Tia is here The old surname used in England."
"Yes," Harry nodded in agreement, "I still remember her saying that she did graduate from Ilvermorny. I just didn't expect that the person who led her into the magic world to become a wizard, It turned out to be you, Mr. Stewart!"
Just as Hermione, Harry, and the others all showed surprise and began to show that they knew Tia, John was naturally quite surprised.
But I have to say that because of Tia, a common acquaintance, the distance between him and Hermione and the others was a little bit closer, but it was suddenly brought closer.
"Oh, you all know Miss Prince too?" He couldn't help being a little surprised, and gradually said, "Oh, so it turns out...you are students of Severus Snape, I should have thought of it. Then Is she... now, okay?"
Just because Britain has become such a situation today, after the catastrophe at the beginning, it is actually hard for John to imagine that Tia will still be safe and sound. So not long ago, after he came to Europe with the team, the first thing he thought of was to take his brother to find Snape, who was said to be Tia's brother, in order to meet her.
But who knew, Snape refused on the spot with strict precautions, without showing the slightest hint.
Fortunately, seeing Hermione and the others in front of them didn't seem to show any sad emotions when they talked about Tia's arrival, which at least reassured John in advance.
Sure enough, after seeing John's expression when he asked Tia, Hermione on the opposite side waved her hands as if she understood something:
"Don't worry, Tia is fine, she should be in France now - the Blois family provided us with several communities to accommodate the wizards who were evacuated in an emergency. As far as I know, Tia has also been in the past Live there."
"Really?" John heard,
Couldn't help but nodded repeatedly, "It's fine as long as it's okay... In fact, I had already met Mr. Snape before I came here. I just wanted to see Miss Prince. I don't know why Mr. Snape would not Reveal her whereabouts...Of course, I can understand it, after all, the current situation—”
Having said that, John spread his hands and shook his head, sighing.
"Um... By the way, where did I just say?" He scratched his head, "Oh, yes, the Aurors found Miss Prince in the river! When they fished her out of the river, she She had already lost consciousness. After some inspection, we found that she must have been under a fairly powerful stun spell—she was only in the second grade at that time, and that moment forced her to recuperate for almost half a month! "
After sighing again, he continued:
"But in hindsight, that was actually considered lucky... that night, after we found Miss Prince floating down the river, we knew that something must have happened in the monastery. So obviously, including I was inside, and two teams of wizards led by Auror rushed in through the main entrance and the side windows respectively, and decided to carry out a surprise operation..."
...
In fact, at that time, John had been guarding outside the monastery with those Aurors for several days. Even with the rotation of monitoring, everyone had accumulated a lot of fatigue.
However, in the absence of any breakthrough for a long time, the unexpected situation of unexpected harvest due to the appearance of Little Tia made the team leader Auror Captain make an immediate decision-this opportunity should not be missed.
However, at that time they never imagined that in the monastery where everything seemed to be normal on weekdays, there was actually a group of such terrifying and bizarre "beasts" hidden!
"...There is no one here, come in!"
That night, John was following the team that entered from the side of the monastery. After seeing the Auror at the head entering, he quickly stretched out his hand and waved to everyone outside the window to indicate that there were no enemies. Then he followed others through the window and entered. indoor.
They actually chose the window that Tia escaped from not long ago, because when most of the windows were closed, only the glass of this window had been shattered in advance.
"Come here, there are traces of battle in the corridor over there!"
The Auror in charge of the investigation had already walked to the front, and when John and the others heard it, they also hurriedly followed. It's just that compared to the well-trained and experienced Auror team members in front of them, he and another companion from the Stewart family seem to be somewhat slower.
After waiting to follow, John heard that several Aurors had had a brief discussion about the traces in the corridor.
"Very rough way of fighting," one of the old Aurors looked at the corner and said, "Look, this blow is very powerful, not even inferior to a troll."
"And the speed is astonishing," another younger Auror followed suit. "Look at that footprint, rushing here after such a long step... It's scary! We better be careful."
The Aurors lowered their voices and exchanged a few words roughly, and then they all shut up, because they were already aware of the danger here.
However, the tasks that should be carried out must continue to be carried out. Aurors never quit when they face difficulties.
"Keep going!" The team leader waved his hand and said with a frown, "Look at the traces, the two sides that fought here before came out from there, and then turned back again - be vigilant, standard formation, get ready Fight anytime!"
Before the words were finished, the Aurors moved skillfully to their own positions while walking. And since the Aurors have 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 position Cooperate with the Auror team.
However, what awaits them ahead is still unknown.
