"Mr. Snape, I took the initiative to look for you not long ago, but you obviously didn't want to talk to me at that time. Well, you didn't want our brother to see TIA, so I decided to give up after careful consideration. After all, you are the brother she finally found after summoning up the courage to cross the north and West oceans. Look at your categorical refusal to any one including me If a suspicious person tries to get close to her, I can also believe her. Now I should live well under your protection... "
"But now, Mr. Snape, you suddenly appear here at great risk and say you want to talk to me again... Excuse my rudeness, but my intuition tells me that it's my turn to refuse now, because... To be honest, I feel dangerous in your unusual change."
In the room, John stood a few feet by the door, feeling a little uneasy.
Hermione invited him for the ongoing communication in the downstairs meeting room. As a stranger who had just won some trust from each other, John knew very well that he didn't meddle blindly.
But he never thought that when he was wondering why TIA's English brother suddenly appeared here again, the other party had come outside his room.
When Mingming just met outside, he seemed to have no interest in himself! Why did you come and knock on your door in the blink of an eye?
John dared not open the door without knowing the other party's intention - although he was really not sure whether he could stop the other party with Mr. Snape's strong character and such a thin door on the territory of the living corpses?
Fortunately, the other party seems to have some scruples here after all. After John has already refused, he did not immediately choose to ignore the door between them.
Snape didn't try to get in, but he still stood outside the door and said coldly:
"TIA, of course, you still can't see her, never - she doesn't like America, and coincidentally, I don't. however, since I just talked to her recently, I heard a story full of suspicious and deja vu... And I just learned from her that you, John Stewart, seem to be one of the few in her little story One of the important roles of the. "
At this point, Snape in the corridor reached out his hand and pressed the door again, making a dull "bang".
"You say," continued Snape, "Stuart, can I ask you something?"
As a professor who has worked in Hogwarts for many years and is famous for his strictness, Snape, who has a bad temper, has developed a bullying momentum. At this moment, even across the door, John could clearly feel the oncoming pressure.
However, before that, some information revealed in Snape's words also made him capture a key point that can not be ignored.
When he was thinking, John no longer completely refused the other party's conversation. He couldn't help asking:
"What do you want to know?"
"Hum, are you willing to talk?"
Outside the door, Snape snorted coldly, and then said faintly:
"The question I want to ask is very simple - tell me, is there a man named 'Jason Stewart' in your team when you come to Europe this time? If so, where is he now?"
Snape's question was really simple and short, which made the silence after that quite long.
Fortunately, Snape was quite patient this time. John in the room hesitated for a moment before he finally heard the latter in the room say:
"Jason... Is really a member of our team this time, and I'm afraid he's the only one alive except me. As for where he is now... If I have to say, I'm not sure, but someone told me that he might have gone to Holland."
"The only survivor...?"
After listening to Snape outside, he couldn't help muttering, but he didn't deliberately lower his voice. Even John across the door vaguely heard him. To tell you the truth, John actually wants to correct it. After all, if Snape is omitted, he will become a dead man!
However, this is clearly not the time to argue about this.
Just at the gate where John was very unhappy, he heard Snape ask again:
"Someone told you he went to Holland? Who said that?"
When John heard the speech, he thought again, considering the possible consequences of his answer. Just think about it carefully. These things were already said to Hermione and others at the dinner. With the background of Snape outside the door, even if he doesn't say it now, most of the other people will soon know from other people.
After thinking about this, John finally replied honestly:
"It's the master here, Mr. the 'Lord of the living corpse'."
"Really?"
This time, Snape's reaction seemed a little dull, as if he had guessed the answer first. Then there was another silence inside and outside the door. Probably both of them were thinking about their own things.
More than ten seconds later, Snape outside the door took the lead in breaking the rare peace, but his tone was obviously much more casual and indifferent than just now.
"By the way, you should know the specific identity of the mastermind behind the inconclusive case in your American magic world more than ten years ago?" he asked. "You can choose not to answer this question, but I still hope that our conversation can end relatively friendly... After all, this will probably be the last conversation between you and me."
"What do you mean?" when John heard this, he just put down some of his wariness and immediately rose to the top. "We just had a wonderful conversation. Do you want to kill me?"
"Tut!"
Snape smacked his tongue impatiently.
"What? Answer quickly and I'll leave without saying - I'm not as free as you!"
Hearing Snape's words, John immediately knew that he was too vigilant and thought of something wrong, and he couldn't help smiling bitterly in embarrassment. Then he said directly:
"I don't know what you want to know, but I can tell you that the abbot of the monastery more than ten years ago was called 'Lenny Stewart' - in fact, I told Miss Granger about the case. If you still want to know any details, you might as well talk to them. That's it! You... Can go."
