harry potter book of crimes

It is the same past event, but when each narrator has a different identity and role in it, the content they narrate will naturally change dramatically with the difference in their perspectives at that time.

When Tia was describing the fear and uneasiness in her heart more than ten years ago to her brother who had not been with her since childhood and had no way of understanding her past, far away in the Buckingham Palace in London...or in the restaurant of the "former Buckingham Palace",

A relatively more macro-scale investigative memoir of an old case gradually unfolded in front of Hermione and other partners like an old picture scroll that was yellowed but still vivid.

However, whether it was John at the long table or Tia on the sofa, they were obviously not the protagonists in that case, which did not involve much but was quite serious.

However, in hindsight, at least John's position in that incident was much more important than Tia, the victim who was only accidentally involved.

"...After a lot of hard work, we found the traces of Brooks with the help of the clues given by the Shitabe tribe. After we joined up with the Aurors who were reinforcing later and the wizards sent by Soriga, we

, we went together to the vicinity of the monastery that we had targeted."

"But, to be honest, no matter how we observed it at the time, we could only come to the same conclusion - that it was just an ordinary Muggle charity organization with good management and a great atmosphere! Even if we sent more than one Auror investigator to try

We tried to break into it for internal investigation, but the result was still no different... We even soon discovered that it was actually very easy to sneak into that monastery. As for Brooks's whereabouts, it was also there.

Cut off again..."

When John said this, he seemed to recall the helpless feeling he felt at that time, and couldn't help but shake his head slightly.

"Are there no traces of any spells?" Hermione asked matter-of-factly, "For example...the Imperius Curse or something like that?"

"I don't know if it's the Imperius Curse, but in the end it turned out that it actually existed." John sighed, "It's a pity that those of us lacked the ability to detect it at the time... and the consequences were

, because there is really no progress, we have delayed it a bit too long."

Naturally, John still remembered it very clearly. At that time, it was because there was not enough evidence at hand, and only a single clue from the Shitabe tribe indirectly pointed to the monastery, that their team did not dare to act rashly. After all, those few

The current situation in the United States was already tense in 2011. Under those circumstances, Congress would not approve the forcible search of Muggle residences.

"It wasn't until one night two weeks later that an Auror member responsible for the night waked us up and said that a girl was found in the river north of the monastery... Do you remember? The one I mentioned just now is the other one.

The little witch of Ilvermorny who I was responsible for picking up was a truant. Her name... was Tia Prince."

"Ti... you mean, who?"

…

Tia no longer remembers how long it took before she returned to the dark cell. She only knew that the old man chatted with her very patiently for a long time in the study room and said many, many words.

What impressed Tia the most was not the amiability shown by the old man, but the sincerity and enthusiasm contained in every word when the other person told her those words.

The old man told her that everyone there had a common dream, which was to live in equal harmony with everyone and make every day of their lives full of laughter.

If there could be a day when everyone would no longer be poor and hungry, and there would no longer be bullying and oppression in society, and everyone could have a much better life than in the past and now... If there really is such a future

,So, why not work hard to realize it?

The old man also said that in fact, everyone has timidity and inferiority in their hearts, but this is not impossible to change. As long as Tia is willing, he can also help Tia to cure the problem that has troubled her since childhood.

Deep-rooted illness.

Then, he, Tia, and everyone here will work together to completely "correct" the already "smoky", "dirty and rotten" world outside.

Yes, even if Tia was wary from the beginning, she was not and could not be dispelled by the old man's unexpected kindness. But at least, she could feel what the old man was saying.

I'm afraid it was indeed sincere.

No, or rather - besides that, what other reason could the other party have for bringing her here and going to such trouble to say all these things?

In the study that day, Tia didn't promise the old man anything until the end, and the old man didn't seem to mind.

It's just that the old man never seemed to have any intention to explain the contradictory behavior of "discrepancy between words and deeds" in locking her up in the dark cell.

After the indoctrination conversation came to an end, the "follower" who had brought Tia to the study room before sent her back to the dark cell.

Speaking of which, maybe it was because of the old man's special warning! The journey back was easier than the way out. The other party no longer dragged her arm and drove roughly, but allowed her to follow behind him.

However, now that she had a little more freedom of movement, Tia did not make any unwise behavior to try to escape. Neither the situation in front of her nor her own abilities were enough to give her the slightest idea that she could escape the nightmare on her own.

the illusion.

So, she could only silently follow him back to the previous cell, and continued to lose consciousness in the darkness where she could barely see her fingers.

Tia is not a very stupid child, but there is no clue in her little head - the trip to the study room seems to have achieved nothing except adding more doubts to her.

Who was that old man? And why did he lock himself in this dark prison full of despair while inexplicably drawing a future blueprint for himself that was almost beyond imagination? If he had agreed at that time, now

Will the situation change?

What will happen then?

Doubts accumulated in Tia's heart, and as the time spent in the unknown grew longer, they were replaced by fear and uneasiness bit by bit.

The meager food and water provided from time to time became the only signpost in that dark life.
