Chapter 2466 Incomplete Conclusion
It is already very clear at this point that the case ten years ago was a major incident involving an internal scandal in the Stuart family in the United States. Considering the important position of the Stewart family in the American magical world, even the General Assembly of the Magical Congress of the United States must carefully weigh the consequences once the so-called "truth" unearthed from the serial disappearances of Muggle children is exposed. able to bear it.
After all, you must know that just judging from the information about the suspected Obscure that the current Auror team has collected, many discerning people have already more or less smelled the hidden incident involving Gellert Greenwald. the taste of. And the event that the first-generation Dark Lord gave birth to the Obscure and caused a riot in New York City was only a few decades ago.
But...Of course, despite what John said so much, he even seemed to have been secretly tracking it down for a while after the incident that year had passed. But in fact, what he knew as a witness was still not too much. Leaving aside other things for the time being, let’s just talk about what his grandfather, the head of the Stewart family, and the then chairman of the Magical Congress of America went to the monastery to meet with old Lenny that night. know.
"So... yeah, when news of old Lenny's death broke out in the midst of Gellert Greenwald's escape from prison nearly ten years later, I learned that on that night ten years ago, my grandfather and the then-President of Congress After going to meet with the other party overnight, they really let him go, but let him hide deeper in Muggle society. After that, I have always wondered why they did that in the end—because you know , Even if it was true that the American magic world was not safe everywhere ten years ago, that is by no means a reason to just let a Grinwald legacy go like that!"
By the end of the story, John was visibly unstable. He subconsciously picked up the wine glass and wanted to take another sip, but found that the glass was already empty, which made him immediately put the wine glass back on the table heavily.
On the other side, Hermione could somewhat understand his expression when she saw him.
Because any wizard who has carefully understood the history of modern magic in the United States knows that, except for the lucky country like Britain that is basically far away from that huge nightmare, the famous dark wizard who was once as famous as Dumbledore once lived in European and American countries. How much shadow the magic world has left, so many wizards still have lingering fears after the opponent's complete failure and imprisonment.
Like most other children from wizarding families, John, who grew up listening to Grinwald's horror stories, naturally had a lot of psychological shadows on that dark wizard. Even if the fear gradually subsides as they grow up, what they get in return will inevitably be more vigilance.
After a while, John finally breathed a sigh of relief, settled down and said:
"Fortunately, Gellert Greenwald is dead after all... To be honest, although I couldn't meet that Mr. McLean, I can't be less grateful to him than anyone else! Although he let I know that old Lenny has never died, so that although the serial disappearance of children did not appear in the newspapers, it was still going on ten years ago...but it was him who finally ended All that made it impossible for my great-uncle to continue to bring shame to the former glory of our Stewart family with his horrific and shameful actions."
As a member of the Stewart family, although John is often not aware of the specific unknown things the family has done over the years, he thinks back to the time when his ancestors and his wife jointly founded the Ilvermorny School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, accepting them without discrimination. Raised countless children with magical talents and trained them as wizards,
He still has a great sense of belonging and pride in his family.
However, the more he respected that great and selfless family ancestor, the more resentment and disappointment he would obviously feel after learning about the problems within the family.
"I'm sorry," John paused, and finally he just waved his hand and said with a bitter expression, "Anyway, now everyone should understand what the Deathly Hallows mark means to me—yes, I I think the lord of the living corpses should just want to tell me that my family... no, I think even Ilvermorny, as well as the Magical Congress of America itself, may have already had a big problem."
...
The dinner that night finally came to an end with Hermione accepting John, a new friend, on behalf of her team.
Of course, this doesn't mean that Hermione has really trusted the other party. Rather, she probably felt that it was necessary to keep this John Stewart under her nose, knowing that the support that the American magic community might send in the future might require more vigilance.
At least during the period of staying here, even if John actually lied and had other plans, she obviously didn't need to worry about the other party's tricks.
After all, this is the domain of the lord of the living corpses! As the other party's temporary collaborator, of course she must make good use of this advantage.
However, in the few days after that, John did not mention the subject of that night with Hermione and the others. When Hermione and the others were recuperating and preparing for the battle, although he seemed to want to ask the other party something, he never opened his mouth.
As clever as Hermione, of course she could guess what the other party wanted to ask - it was nothing more than about the demons and their cooperation with the zombies, but she didn't want to say it. So since John himself was also hesitant and hesitant, it was just right for her.
So, in this frozen palace, there was another few days of calm, until...
"Hermione, just now the living corpse said that there was some movement in the east again. It seems... There are signs of people's activities appearing in the outer suburbs of London's eastern suburbs."
Early one morning, when Hermione was eating the food provided by the living corpse in the restaurant as usual, and at the same time felt that the other party's craftsmanship had obviously improved and secretly felt complicated. She had spent too much time with Sarah recently and was used to it. Ron, who got up early, suddenly pushed open the door of the restaurant, and rushed all the way to her from the outside.
"What about Harry?" Hermione immediately put down the fork in her hand and asked, "Have you already rushed over?"
"It must have passed," Ron nodded. "And Neville, I bumped into him when I came here just now, so I told him too."
"Okay, then let's go too!"
Although the breakfast wasn't finished yet, she obviously didn't intend to continue eating. She stood up and followed Ron and hurriedly left through the restaurant door.
