Chapter 2396

As a brother, Snape didn't know about some old things about TIA that year before he received this letter. After all, at the time of the incident, he and his sister TIA were just strangers in a foreign country.

But different from Snape, as the new recruiter who was responsible for guiding TIA as a wizard and enrolling in ifamani, John obviously knows a lot more stories than the former. Except that Brooks had already secretly fallen in love with the timid little girl, he did not know most of TIA's experience after truancy to New York that year, and even personally participated in some during that period.

"... at that time, I didn't have much money and didn't dare to talk to others, so two days later, I almost thought I would starve to death there. Every day I could only stay in the corner of the subway station, because there was free water to drink. If you like, sitting on the edge of the more crowded aisle, sometimes some kind-hearted people would give me food - there were a lot of tramps there, and I met many people When I arrived at one of the kind ladies, she told me how a penniless and penniless person could survive there... "

This is the description of the situation she encountered when she first arrived in New York. More specifically, she didn't tell further, but from these words alone, she could generally understand what kind of difficulties she had encountered when she was less than 13 years old at that time.

But what should I say? In fact, Snape was also very clear about what the United States was like. TIA met tramps there and got advice and help. In fact, this is not how lucky she is, but because there has never been a lack of tramps on the streets of New York... Especially in those not rich neighborhoods.

TIA lived in the church orphanage when she was young, and then was introduced by John. Ivamani lived through the school's financial aid. Even textbooks and learning tools were all second-hand cheap goods. Where would there be any money for her to use after playing truant?

But it can also be seen how much pressure she was under at school at that time, so that her escape seemed desperate.

"Yes, at that time, when I was shivering in the corner of the subway station for several consecutive nights, I regretted it. I was always thinking whether I should hurry back... But, Severus, you know? I wasn't afraid of being punished. After all, I was willing to give up and go back to school. I just thought that ivamani might not be able to stay from the beginning Place - people like me don't deserve all that. "

"Yes, ivamani is actually very beautiful... Aside from the eyes of others, the days there are really beautiful. Especially after the wandering life in New York, I feel that there are steaming food, thick warm mattresses and bedding, and endless knowledge to learn every day - there is nothing better than that."

"But... Yes, I'm just a useless orphan picked up by Mr. Stewart. I can't stay there, not because others are targeting me, but because I'm not suitable for the beauty there... I don't deserve it."

Three paragraphs, three "yes" in a row, said all the inner feelings of little TIA at that time. As a cowardly and submissive girl with low self-esteem, she felt in her heart that she didn't deserve to stay in the grand and magnificent ifamani Castle - that shouldn't be the life she could have, at least she always felt so in her heart.

"... but soon afterwards, I had no room to think about it."

Suddenly, a turning point made the rapid change of the situation at that time. Why did TIA return to ifamani and stay until graduation? Not because of her regret and chagrin, nor because of her hunger, but because she was suddenly involved in a big case that shocked the whole American magic world after experiencing the confusion and anxiety on the streets of New York!

The incident can be said to have directly led to the Stewart family's sending people to Europe to officially intervene in the disaster.

……

"John, are you back? Has Brooks gone back?"

When John Stewart crossed the channel from the port of Calais and appeared with the other wizard of the three in the coastal clarkton port in southwest England, he saw that the whole team of the workshop had been waiting here for a long time.

At this moment, the person who asked him was the leader of the team and the leader of the wand R & D team of the stonemason workshop, manster jonkel.

Yes, these are very few non Stewart family members in the Stewart Family Institute. But this time the workshop sent him to lead the team, not because he was an "outsider", but because Mr. jonkel had outstanding strength and great reputation in the workshop.

This is the son of Johannes jonkel, one of the four famous wand producers in modern American magic. Up to this year, he is also in his early 40s.

"Of course, I drove the boy back before I came here - don't worry, he listened to me," John replied casually, waving his hand at jonkel.

Looking at John's careless manner, jonkel obviously had nothing to do with the goods, so he had to shake his head secretly.

Naturally, Brooks could not hide what he had secretly followed for a long time, but the Stewart brothers took the initiative to show the reason for Brooks's entourage on their way here, and John also promised not to let the boy follow up with Britain, which made jonkel reluctantly agree to the brothers' plan to go to Italy first.

Of course, jonkel's compromise is not just because of this.

"... what about Mr. Snape? Prince... Well, I mean, Miss TIA Snape, have you seen it?"

Seeing that jonkel followed closely, he asked about the harvest of this trip to Italy, but John could only shrug his shoulders and spread his hands, showing some helplessness.

"That Mr. Snape doesn't eat hard or soft and doesn't leak water. We almost had a fight this time, let alone Miss prince."

John didn't change his words. He still called TIA by the surname "Prince". Finally, he changed his superficial frivolity and said something serious and helpless:

"This time it's for the future of the United States, but there's no next time! Hogwarts are not easy to mess with - they don't use our magic wand. We don't have much advantage over them. It's unwise to sneak into their community to deliberately provoke contradictions this time."

Obviously, from what John said, what the three of them did in Italy was intentional!
