In the same past, when each narrator once had different identities and roles, the content of their narration will naturally change greatly with their different perspectives.

When TIA was describing her inner fear and uneasiness more than ten years ago to her brother who had no way to know her past because she was not accompanied since childhood, she was far away in Buckingham Palace in London... Or "once Buckingham Palace" restaurant, a relatively macro memoir of the investigation of an old case, Just like a yellow but still vivid old picture, it gradually unfolds in front of Hermione and other partners.

However, both John at the long table and TIA on the sofa were obviously not the protagonists in the original case, which was not extensive but quite serious.

However, it seems that at least John's position in that incident is much more important than TIA, who can only be regarded as the victim accidentally involved.

"... after a lot of efforts, with the help of the clues given by the shitabe people, we found Brooks all the way. After joining the follow-up auro and the Wizards sent by sorega, we went to the monastery that has been targeted by us."

"But, to tell you the truth, no matter how we observed at that time, we could only draw the same conclusion - that is, an ordinary Muggle charity with good operation and excellent atmosphere! Even if we sent more than one auro investigator to try to enter it for internal investigation, the results were still no different... Even we soon found that for the monastery, It's actually a very easy thing to sneak in. As for Brooks's whereabouts, it's broken there again... "

When John said this, he seemed to recall the feeling of helplessness at that time, and couldn't help shaking his head slightly.

"Isn't there any trace of magic spell?" Hermione asked naturally. "For example... Soul snatching spell?"

"I don't know if it's a soul snatching curse, but it turns out that there is." John sighed. "It's a pity that those of us were not able to find out at that time... The consequence is that we delayed a little too long because there was really no progress."

John naturally remembered that it was because there was not enough evidence at that time that their team dared not act rashly only because a single line of rope from the shitabe nationality indirectly pointed to the monastery. After all, the current situation in the United States was tense in those years. In that case, Congress would not approve the forcible search of Muggle settlements.

"It was not until one night two weeks later that an Auror in charge of the night watch woke us up and said that a girl was found in the river north of the monastery... Remember? Just now I mentioned that another little ivamani witch who played truant and was picked up by me. Her name was... TIA Prince."

"Ti... Who do you mean?"

……

TIA can't remember how long it took to return to the black cell. She only knows that in that study, the old man talked with himself patiently for a long time and said a lot of words.

What impressed TIA most was not the amiability shown by the old man, but the sincerity and enthusiasm contained in the words when the other party told herself those words.

The old man told her that everyone there had a common dream, that is, to get along with everyone equally and harmoniously, and make every day of life full of laughter.

If one day, everyone will no longer be poor and hungry, there will be no bullying and oppression in society, and everyone can have a much better life than in the past and now... If there is such a future, why not try to realize it?

The old man also said that in fact, everyone's heart hides timidity and inferiority, but it is not impossible to change. As long as TYA is willing, he can also offer help to help TYA cure the deep-rooted disease that has plagued her since she was a child.

Then, he will join hands with TIA and everyone here to completely "correct" the "miasma" and "dirty and decadent" world outside.

Yes, even though TIA had been wary from the beginning, she did not and could not be relieved by the unexpected kindness of the old man. But at least, she could feel that the old man was really sincere when he said those words.

No, or -- besides, what else could be the reason why the other party brought her here and said so much?

In the study that day, TIA didn't promise the old man anything until the end, and the old man didn't seem to mind.

However, the old man did not seem to have any intention to explain the contradictory practice of "inconsistent words and deeds" of locking her in the black prison. After the slightly lengthy dialogue... Or more accurately, the unilateral indoctrination conversation came to an end, he asked the "follower" who had taken TIA to the study to send her back to the black prison.

Speaking of it, maybe it's the old man's special advice! The way back was more relaxed than when she came out. The other party no longer dragged her arm and hurried roughly, but allowed her to follow behind him.

However, she was a little more free in action, but TIA did not make any unwise attempt to escape. Neither the current situation nor her own ability was enough to give her the illusion that she could escape the nightmare by herself.

So she could only silently follow each other back to the previous cell and continue to lose consciousness in the dark.

TIA is not a very stupid child, but she doesn't have any clue in her cerebellar bag - the study line seems to have nothing to gain except adding more doubts to her.

Who is that old man? Why do you want to lock yourself in this dark prison full of despair and inexplicably draw a blueprint for the future that is almost beyond your imagination? If I had promised at that time, would the current situation have changed?

What would that be?

Questions accumulated in TIA's heart, and then, as she was in the unknown for a long time, they were replaced by little fear and anxiety.

The poor food and water provided from time to time became the only road sign in the dark life.
