harry potter book of crimes

"...Yes, when the initial news came to the institute, we actually didn't pay much attention to it. Although there were more than one deceased in that case at the beginning, and there were both Muggles and wizards, it obviously had nothing to do with us.

It has nothing to do with it. At most...well, many of the suspects listed in the case graduated from Ilvermorny...but since they are in the United States, who is not? In short, this is the matter of the Magic Congress anyway.

We just need to read the newspaper together after work, which is like having another dispensable chat topic in our spare time."

"But soon, the superiors seemed to notice something was wrong - it seemed that a student was involved in that case!"

In the empty restaurant, John's voice was echoing faintly. Probably because everyone was free tonight, he didn't speak very fast, and every word seemed to be gossiping, telling a past event in He He.

Speaking in front of Min and others.

"Perhaps you all know something about it. Our institute has always been an affiliated department of Ilvermorny. We are basically aware of what happens in the school. It just so happened that there were two students in the school that year.

He did not return to school at that time, and according to the investigation, both of them went to New York - and in some of the intelligence collected by the Auror, figures suspected of these two students appeared!"

Having said this, John shook his head helplessly, and then added:

"What's even more coincidental is... how should I put it? I know these two little guys, one is the new student that I personally introduced to Ilvermorny, and the other... is simply my brother!"

"Sounds pretty bad."

Ron, who was not far away, scratched his head and answered subconsciously, but first he gave Ginny a deep glance on the other side. It was as if he was saying, "Compared to being careless, you are not necessarily worse than him."

"How much" is average.

Then, John on the other side nodded towards Ron and said:

"It's very bad, because after the first few days, with the further investigation by the Aurors of the Magic Congress, it was discovered that the case was more complicated than everyone imagined... and terrifying! Although except for the initial conditions for filing the case,

The death did not happen again, but after accidentally integrating several other cases, Congress realized that this case might also be related to a series of cases related to the abnormal disappearance of Muggle children from the Muggle Mediation Office.

.Coupled with the fact that the victims who were discovered to have died from the Killing Curse at the beginning of the case were found to be a Muggle family with a child, but that child also disappeared without a trace... things became

It’s getting more serious.”

John picked up the goblet and took a sip of the remaining wine, and then said:

"Then our director brought the management to a meeting and decided to intervene in the investigation - after all, my brother seemed to be involved! Of course, more importantly, our institute...or to be more precise,

It is our Stewart family who are more familiar with the Muggle Issues Regulation Office of MACUSA, and we are more concerned about the affairs of Muggle society! Our family has always worked hard to repair the gap between Muggles and wizards."

This last sentence is actually a digression here. John shook his head as he spoke, and then brought the topic back to the case that year.

"There was a need for someone in the family, so I volunteered to take up a spot. The director and the others, the elders in the family, asked an uncle of mine to lead the team. Counting me, there were five people in total, and we set off for New York together."

At this point, John suddenly sighed, looked at Hermione and others and said:

"No one expected at that time, what happened next was beyond everyone's imagination again! Our family sent more elite troops twice, plus our first team, the total number of people exceeded 20, and everyone was a good player

! But in the end, there were only five people left, including myself, and one of them was Brooks, who was lucky enough to be rescued in the end... Oh, that is my brother."

…

The case that happened in the American wizarding world ten years ago was indeed a big case, because many people died at that time, both wizards and Muggles. To a certain extent, it was even as good as Lord Voldemort in the UK.

The events they caused were both closely guarded by the world after the fact.

Of course, for Tia, who was a witness to that case, the feeling was completely different.

"...In the beginning, Alyssa just took me with her. She taught me, as a homeless person on the streets of New York, how to live well in the city without going hungry every day -

- She took me to several places, told me where and when I would get things, told me where it would be warmer and safer to sleep, told me those people I could get along with, and those people it was best not to get close to... Later we met again

We were separated for a few days - she left because of something, and I lived alone on the street for a few days. With the experiences Alyssa gave me, my life was actually pretty good."

"It wasn't until a few days later that Alyssa came back. She told me that she had found a good place. It was like a big family. There were many homeless people like her and me, and we could be like a family.

We live together in the same harmony, happiness and warmth! She told me that she found heaven."

In this old house in the refuge community, Tia's narration continues. Maybe those days ten years ago were actually really beautiful for her...or maybe they were "created" to be beautiful!

Even today, when we talk about it, we can still see a hint of regretful longing on her face.

Yes, if those things hadn't happened later.

"I went, and I trusted Alyssa at that time. I believed she would not lie to me. At that time, Alyssa was more amiable than anyone I had ever seen - maybe a bit like Wes.

Mrs. Leigh."

Having said this, she smiled at Severus across from him, and after seeing the other person curling his lips lightly, she continued.

"Of course, it turns out that everything is fake." The smile on Tia's face quickly disappeared. She pursed her lips, a little bitterly, but even more frightened, "When I got there at the beginning, I did see

I met a lot of very warm and friendly people, as well as a lot of delicious food and fun. Everyone was willing to share the happiness with me... Among them there were also children about my age, and even orphans. When I told about my past

, they can understand my pain and fear - that is something those classmates in Ilvermorny cannot."

"It's just that things changed soon..."
