John finally managed to take TIA away from the orphanage. After all, for this orphanage, TIA obviously can't have too much nostalgia.

Maybe there are one or two people who are actually good to her at ordinary times - for example, the old nun who personally picked her up, so she sometimes secretly visits each other when she goes to ifamani... And even after graduation, but that's all she does.

As for another point that John personally promised that night - "change to a place where no one bullies you", but it still didn't come true after all.

John Stewart is just a temporary usher sent from the "workshop". He is not TIA's person, and he can't often go to ifamoni school. Naturally, he won't interfere much with little TIA's life in school.

Moreover, what TIA learned about her biological parents from John was actually very limited. Just as John can't often go to ifamani, "stonemason workshop", as a relatively secret research institute subordinate to ifamani, outsiders can't easily see the researchers.

After many years, when TIA summoned up the courage to come to England, John didn't even know in time.

However, even John just learned about it more than ten years later - his brother Brooks has been in touch with that TIA all the time.

Unlike his unreliable brother John, Brooks Stewart was born simple and honest, but he really inherited the heart of the ancestors of the Stewart family.

John never learned that his brother and TIA had some contact and communication, because he knew very well that his brothers Brooks and TIA were not good at communicating with others. The youngest brother of the family used to be TIA's senior and had two years of CO education. But in his opinion, what opportunities can they have to talk?

As a result, when John was assigned by his director and second uncle to go to England with the team, his younger brother Brooks suddenly stopped him and told some facts he didn't know - his sultry younger brother, who was the youngest and somewhat anxious in his generation, actually liked the little girl named TIA!

And obviously still secretly in love.

So... Yes, it was really just a big misunderstanding for John to show up in the community where Hogwarts teachers and students live in Italy with several people in the workshop. He only thought of bringing his brother to Snape to try to meet TIA after he learned about TIA's trace from the intelligence agent of the American magic Congress.

However, his unreliability was not entirely to blame for the trouble. Because the "stonemason workshop" of ifamani sent someone to Britain for an important purpose, and he... Frankly, he was just doing private things in the name of business.

Didn't you see that there were only two people around him? One of them is his brother Brooks, because he just found an excuse to leave the team on the way. For the convenience of the main team, he naturally can't easily leak the news to several colleagues and others.

Of course, as long as they are careful, their journey is not likely to be found.

Yes, that's right... Except TIA!

TIA's wand was made by John, so when John, who had been away from her for a long time, appeared in Italy, not far from France, the wand immediately reacted.

When everything has a reason, things become simple and clear, don't they?

No, it's not.

I remember when TIA left aberforth, aberforth said that he said she looked "like she was afraid of something".

Aberforth is not wrong - he rarely misinterprets people's emotions, especially when he can speak directly.

So... If all this is so simple, what is TIA afraid of?

……

In the laboratory, Snape's always expressionless face had some rare subtleties.

TIA was afraid, which he obviously didn't know at present. After all, even if TIA was willing to write some thoughts into the letter, he couldn't read it until the letter was written and delivered!

So now Snape is just feeling for a really simple thing John brought... How to say? Some trouble? Or... In fact, I'm more or less at a loss.

Yes, I have a sister - he has recognized it under Marca's guidance. And to be honest, it's actually good to have a relative. Even if his character makes him always look impatient in front of people.

However, after suddenly having a sister... Many ordinary people will naturally encounter problems in front of Snape, who is used to living alone.

There is a person who needs care, care and consideration. From daily life to protection and resettlement under disaster, which one doesn't need to bother?

Especially TIA is a person who needs more care than ordinary people.

But fortunately, even if he was reluctant and unwilling, Snape did quite well in the new task of "how to be a brother".

Until... Until a man who confessed that he liked his sister... Suddenly appeared!

Before that, John brought his brother Brooks to meet Snape. In addition to sharing the latter's love for TIA, John also put forward small requirements such as seeing each other again. But unfortunately, Snape refused on the spot. He didn't reveal where TIA was.

If you have to be serious, in fact, in today's situation, not revealing her sister's location to others is also a kind of protection for her - Snape roughly meant that in front of the Stewart brothers at that time.

But only he knew that at that time, what was hidden under his cold face was a rare mood called "confusion".

"TIA... Are you in love? Well, you have to count your age... In fact, it's probably too late."

Perhaps Snape subconsciously compared himself, so he came to such a conclusion that it was more or less superficial.

As for then, then he doesn't know.

"What should I do at this time... Yes, I have to ask her first."

Soon, Snape, who was busy in the laboratory, took out the parchment and made a decision surprisingly similar to his sister's - writing a letter.
