"Yes, ma'am, the kid who took the photo... was really just a little accident. You know, we are also wand makers, and we have some research on how to make wands go berserk temporarily! Look, you Hogwarts

Anyone who comes out here, basically all wands are made by Garrick Ollivander, right? When that guy chooses the wand core, he can only rely on unicorn hair, phoenix tail feathers and dragon nerves, although his production technology is indeed not very good.

Of course, the two unicorns and the two dragons have individual differences, but this is still too monotonous after all... Mr. Ollivander himself is not good at spell combat. He doesn't know that the wand made in this way is

There are still loopholes in actual combat, especially when encountering wizards like us who are also wand makers..."

The matter of Colin's fainting has always been a major conflict between the two parties. Even if John had explained it just now, it would not have been enough for Minerva to take the initiative to resolve the differences with him. For this reason, after just talking to Snee

After Pu finished speaking, John Stewart immediately picked up the topic again, and explained the reasons in detail.

When Minerva heard what John said, she immediately discovered that many of the details were consistent with what she had previously examined for Colin.

But in the final analysis, it was because Colin's child was not seriously injured, otherwise she would not be so calm now.

"This means that you really just don't want to expose your whereabouts to more people?"

Seeing Minerva ask this question after considering it for a moment, John across from him could only shrug helplessly, and then pushed to Snape aside:

"Actually, it can't be said to be 'just' - the matter is not trivial, but it is indeed a 'private matter'. Since Mr. Snape doesn't want to talk about it, I can't pretend to be generous and clear up your doubts for him.

But as long as you still trust Mr. Snape, Ms. McGonagall, why not listen to what he thinks of the three of us...?"

Since it was about Snape, why should he be so embarrassed? Couldn't he just leave it to Snape to explain?

"Severus?"

Seeing this, Minerva could only turn her head again and look at Snape beside her.

But who would have expected that at this moment, Snape shook his head slightly.

"Stuart...yes, you did come to me because of that private matter before, but aside from that matter, how can I guarantee that you don't have any other hidden plans? Now you want me to come.

Help you prove your harmlessness? Isn’t it too ridiculous?”

As he spoke, Snape curled his lips and glanced sideways at the other person a few more times, and finally let out a sneer that seemed to be squeezed out of his nose.

And listening to Snape's tone that always seemed to be so mocking, he couldn't help but feel a little frustrated at the fact that John was so careless and unserious.

"Hey!" He couldn't help but interrupt Snape, "Why are you Snape family members so extreme? Either you shrink back and say nothing, or you scold and ridicule people so much that you can't tolerate them...

…Can’t we just communicate normally?”

John's words were more like a complaint than a rebuttal. After he finished speaking, he waved his hand again and then changed the subject:

"Forget it, look at you like this, I'm afraid you won't be able to do anything, either private or official... Mr. Snape, please remember that if you are willing, the promise I made to you before is still valid, think about it carefully

Give it a try!"

"Don't think about it." Snape said forcefully upon hearing this.

John watched him tilt his head helplessly, thought for a while, then gave up and turned his eyes to Minerva again.

"Ms. McGonagall, I think the actions of the three of us this time are indeed a bit reckless. It will cause misunderstandings by Your Excellency... and the professors outside. There is nothing we can do about it. But... in this extraordinary period, we

It shouldn’t be that difficult to understand that this trip needs to be kept secret - you know, we are not the only one in America."

As he spoke, he pointed roughly in a certain direction to the west, gestured, and then continued:

"In fact, the fact that people from our 'workshop' came to support us seems to have been noticed by 'certain people'."

When Minerva heard what he said, she couldn't help but look at each other with Snape.

Yes, although Ilvermorny in the United States and Hogwarts in the United Kingdom have not had close contact with each other in recent years, the two sides have never had any hatred after all. Even because the founder of Ilvermorny and Hogwarts in the United Kingdom

Hogwarts has a long history, and if you are willing to miss the past, you can always stand on the same front.

Since there was no hatred or resentment, even if Minerva and the others were vigilant at this moment, they were naturally still cautious. Otherwise, Minerva would not have come to meet and talk with the other party first.

But now that I saw John Stewart mentioning the reason for trying to keep his whereabouts secret, I quickly realized that what this guy said did make sense.

Yes, Ilvermorny also has rivals in the Americas - because most of the wizards in the United States were not native Americans, they immigrated to the Americas in large numbers, and they did not get along harmoniously with the indigenous wizards in the Americas from the beginning.

.

If Ilvermorny has taken over almost all the wizarding students in North America, then the one that occupies the share of enrollment in South America is Castrobusca in Brazil - a school with a much longer history than Ilvermorny.

The first wizarding school in the Americas, it is said to have originated from the original Aztec civilization, and is not far behind Hogwarts.

Of course, Castrobe was not very friendly to outsiders in the past. But now, after so many years, the teachers and students of that school have become much more accessible. Bill once had a Castrob

Here’s my pen pal!

However, it is also a well-known fact that they have a bad relationship with Ilvermorny.

Minerva thought for a while, but didn't say anything about it, just nodded lightly.

"So... the three of you seem to have finished talking about the 'private matter' with Severus. When are you going to leave? I can understand your difficulties, so I think you can probably understand the difficulties we have at Hogwarts."

Can you see? To be honest, we obviously don’t have much energy to give the three of you a ‘warm reception’ right now.”

The implication of her words is very clear - since there is nothing else to do, then leave quickly! We are also very busy here, but we don't have time to spend any more energy on keeping an eye on you.

This order to expel guests could not be more clear.
