Since the 18th century, there has been a specious legend in the American wizarding world, that is, the existence of the "Stewart Family".

As we all know, the Stewarts founded Ilvermorny School of Witchcraft and Wizardry in the United States from a small house. It can be described as a romantic magic legend between witches and Muggles.

However, because the famous couple only gave birth to twin girls themselves, and the boys they adopted did not change their surnames, the surname "Stewart" did not survive.

Yes, in theory, that's the case.

However, I don’t know whether it is true or not, but there are rumors that Stewart actually has an illegitimate Muggle child, who was already succumbed to his second wife before he even met his later wife, the witch Isolt Thayer.

One of my girlfriends got pregnant.

Of course, probably no one knows what the truth was back then. What kind of twists and turns, bizarre and charming emotional journey the legendary Muggle James Stewart had in the magical world is still unknown now.

It's nothing more than a series of gossipy conversations.

But the fact is before our eyes - the Stewart family has indeed survived, and has been hiding behind Ilvermorny for many years, silently guarding the magic school established by its ancestors.

"...But please allow me to introduce myself - my name is John Stewart."

Seeing the middle-aged wizard with a stern expression in front of her suddenly straightened up and introduced himself, Minerva's first thought was, "It turns out that this guy can speak seriously like this."

But the next second, she reacted immediately.

"Are you the descendant of the 'Masonry Workshop'?"

As the successor to the headmaster who was quietly trained by Dumbledore, and an old wizard with a lot of experience, Minerva naturally has access to many people and things that ordinary wizards have no way of knowing. She knows very well that the American

There is indeed a Stewart family in Farmerny that has an unbroken lineage.

Minerva even learned from Dumbledore that this family has many special features.

First of all, this is an extremely rare Muggle family that has always existed in the magical world during the stable period of the "Statut of Secrecy"! Although many wizards have been born among the members of the Stewart family today, I wonder if "James"

"Stewart" is a legendary Muggle whose genes are exceptionally strong. Even though some of his descendants often marry wizards, the proportion of Muggles remains high.

Secondly, another characteristic of the Stewart family is that it can almost be said to be an inherited family specializing in wand makers.

Obviously, many people in the wizarding world know that James Stewart was an extremely rare Muggle wand maker. There are only a few people like him in the entire history of magic.

But what is even more surprising is that most of Stewart's descendants are good at making wands. Since the founding of Ilvermorny, their workshop has taken over the demand for wands from all new students. So much so that a certain American

The famous wand maker began to travel around the world as soon as he became famous and never returned to his country.

However, if others start to make random guesses about the Stewart family based on their superficial understanding, they will definitely miscalculate again. Because the "workshop" of the Stewart family does more than just make wands.

thing.

In fact, it is basically a magic research institute under Ilvermorny College. In terms of work content, it is actually almost the same as the Department of Mysteries of the Ministry of Magic in various countries and the Ruins Curse Unlocking Development Department of Gringotts.

As for the name "Mason's Workshop", which sounds a bit rustic, it is just because James Stewart himself was a Muggle stonemason back then.

"Yes, Ms. McGonagall." On the opposite side, John Stewart nodded, smiled and admitted frankly, "I am the person in charge of this generation of the workshop... To be honest, the responsibility is a bit heavy, don't you think?"

This guy probably only suddenly became more serious out of respect when he announced his last name. At this time, he had returned to his careless look just now, and even said something casually to Minerva.

I don’t know if it’s a joke or not.

When Minerva heard this, she quickly realized the implication - under the current disaster, even if the disaster has not spread to the Americas across the sea, Ifa

As the number one magic school in North America, Mouni certainly has many things to consider.

Not to mention, the "Masonry Workshop" controlled by the Stewart family is originally a magic research institute affiliated with Ilvermorny. They must have already begun research on the magic disaster in Europe.

"Oh!" Suddenly, John seemed to have remembered something again, and shrugged, "I'm sorry, Ms. McGonagall, and the matter of Hogwarts Castle - my principal wants me to express it on my behalf.

I would like to express our regret that you are unable to return to school for the time being! If necessary, we at Ilvermorny will do our best to provide some help to the teachers and students of Hogwarts. This time we are also here specifically to help your school resist the disaster.

Supportive.”

The connection between Ilvermorny and Hogwarts is very deep. Although this so-called "origin" is somewhat rocky, in modern times the two schools can only be said to be more competitive than friendly, but the relationship between the two schools is

But it can never be cut off.

Now that Hogwarts is in crisis, Ilvermorny is willing to provide help, which is right... In fact, this is not the first wave of help from the United States, is it?

However, it was impossible for Minerva to completely believe what the other party said.

However, before she could think of how to speak, Snape, who had not said a few words beside her, finally opened his mouth again and said coldly:

"Help? Support? Just the three of you?"

It's not that Snape looked down on people, but the horror of the zombie plague was right in front of him! What could these three wizards from the Stewart family do if they suddenly ran over?

Fortunately, since the other party said such things, he naturally wouldn't just talk nonsense.

"Of course it's not just the three of us," John Stewart didn't care about Snape's sneer, and waved his hand casually, "My uncle Samuel Stewart went ahead of me... Oh, I think now

We should have arrived in the UK. As for us...you know, I just came to talk to you specifically...oh, it's the 'private matter' you said."

"snort."

Snape frowned slightly, but didn't say anything else.
