In Snape's personal letters to Tia, there is obviously no word that can be called a "concern and greeting".

In the whole sentence, apart from asking hard questions about the current situation of Tia's refugee camp in France, there are a few sentences that want Tia to convey some important news to Aberforth and others, but there is no wording at all.

Kindness as a family member.

To be honest, rather than calling this a "letter from home", it seems more like a routine exchange of information between members of the Order of the Phoenix. If it weren't for the last few sentences that seemed to be mentioned in passing, then this would really be

It can be regarded as a secret intelligence letter "wrongly sent"——

"...A few people from the Stewart family from the United States came here before, claiming to know you. The principal believes that their visit should have some special purpose and should be treated with caution. Do you know the brothers named 'John' and 'Brooks'?

?Especially that Brooks, if you really know him, write down everything you know and reply to me as soon as possible, the more detailed the better."

Putting aside the seemingly routine questions and instructions in the previous paragraph, this letter ends abruptly here, and it can be said that there is a sense of stiffness in every word.

There is no way, after all, Severus Snape has always been such a man who is not good at expressing his inner emotions.

However, if someone who knows something about the whole process of the Stewart family's meeting with Snape saw this passage, they would probably notice it - the point of this passage is not that "the principal thinks that the other party needs

"Treat with caution" and other words, but lies in the phrase "especially that Brooks"!

After all, this is still a private letter sent from a brother to his sister, and what Snape cares about after all is Tia and the Stewart brothers...especially the past with Brooks Stewart.

Because from the conversation with John, Snape had already noticed that Tia and Brooks... seemed to be more than just ordinary "old acquaintances".

"Brooks...he's here too?"

After reading the letter from beginning to end, Tia gently put the letter paper back on the table, but her eyes still stayed on the last paragraph written by her brother.

After spending such a period of time with her reunited brother, it was not long but not short at all. She was not stupid and had some understanding of Severus's character. Even if she just read the letters, she still couldn't understand it.

You can read your brother's true thoughts in it, but of course you may not be able to detect your brother's concern for you from those slightly deliberate words.

But from this passage, Tia already knew something that she should pay attention to - the Stewart brothers, who were no strangers to her, had all come to Europe from the United States!

"And it seems...the two of them are definitely not the only people from the Stewart family sent by the workshop this time."

Secretly muttering to herself, the feeling of "as if she was afraid of something" that Aberforth had noticed before suddenly emerged from Tia at this moment. And maybe it was because of the room in the room at this moment.

Not because of anyone else, Tia's fear was much more obvious than last time in the private bar.

After a moment of silence, Tia carefully pushed the letter forward slightly, then finally looked away from the letter, raised her head and looked out the window.

At this moment, she was in her room on the second floor. All she could see outside were the houses opposite and the blue sky filled with endless soft sunlight.

Today's weather is excellent, the wind is sunny and the temperature is pleasant. There are even unknown birds chirping in the distance. It is a great and refreshing environment.

But the focus of Tia's eyes was obviously not on the scenery of the warm community. Her mind had already been brought to some memories of the past by a series of reverie in her mind.

And it has to be said that Tia's past years in the United States were not worth reliving for a few days - otherwise, after she went to the UK to find her brother, she would not have thought about going back even once.

.

You know, Europe today is full of genuine disasters!

After biting her thin lips and thinking for a few minutes in a daze, Tia moved her mouth in a daze and whispered to herself subconsciously:

"...'That person'...will he come too?"

…

No one must know what Tia said to herself in the room. But if someone heard it, they would probably guess that "the person" she spoke of must also be a member of the Stewart family.

As for who exactly it is, it is currently unknown.

In fact, when Snape really tried to ask Tia about the Stewart brothers in the letter, Tia seemed to be like a clairvoyant - after she noticed John's arrival due to the strange movement of the wand, she had already told some of them.

The events of that year were selectively written in the letter she sent to her brother Severus.

However... she didn't go into detail in her letter about "that person" she was talking about.

"Mr. Snape, I have your letter...it was sent by someone from the Blois family in France."

When the Federation staff hurriedly delivered a letter from Tia to him, Snape raised his eyebrows slightly, appearing somewhat surprised.

He knew that Tia would definitely give him a reply - he had requested it in the letter he sent, but he didn't expect that this "reply" would come so quickly!

No, no matter how fast it is, it won't be as fast as this... Counting the time, Tia's letter was probably sent from the French refugee community at about the same time as he sent it!

"Um."

In this regard, Snape did not bother to ask the Federation wizard in front of him anything. He knew very well that the other party was just an ordinary person responsible for sending intelligence messages and public and private letters to the outside world, and there were even other people who actually sent them.

Other colleagues, this person actually stays in this community like me most of the time.

"……Thanks."

After thanking him perfunctorily, Snape took a step back with the envelope and closed the door of the laboratory. Then, holding the letter in his hand, he turned around and walked to sit in front of the potion preparation table.

When he came down, he casually glanced at Tia's signature on the corner of the envelope.

Snape didn't hesitate any more. Now that Tia's letter had arrived, he had no other choice but to open it and read it. Even though... this letter was really "quick" in a strange way.

"Wow--"

He tore open the seal, took out the contents and shook it gently. A piece of letter paper cut out of parchment was spread out in front of his eyes. Snape's eyes were like lightning, and he quickly read the contents, but his brows were already furrowed tightly.

.

Obviously, what Tia mentioned in this letter is not unusual at all.
