Esperance Foley returned home and saw Kathy sitting on the sofa in the living room reading a book. She quickly put down her luggage and ran over, throwing herself into Mrs. Foley's arms, "Mom, you are finally back!"

Casey put down the book in his hand, gently straightened Ace's messy hair, and stared at Ace with his deep hazel eyes, "Dear, how have you been this year? Is Hogwarts fun?"

"Mom, everything is fine at Hogwarts! I was there..." The little girl sat up excitedly and shared her year's experience with her mother.Fielding walked out of the kitchen with two cups of black tea and put them on the coffee table in front of the sofa. He sat down and hugged his gentle and beautiful wife and listened to Ace's sharing, making comments from time to time.The couple was obviously very relieved about Ace, and they didn't blame him too much when they heard that Ace had disobediently intervened in the bloodline dispute.Just when they heard the Yaxley boy attacking Ace, the two of them frowned, feeling very dissatisfied.

Fielding Foley comforted Cathy and said: "Honey, did you forget that there will be a banquet at the Black family in half a month? I think the Yaxley family will definitely not be absent. We can have a good talk then."

Casey tapped the tip of Ace's nose and said with a smile: "Yes, Ace, you are going too. Don't forget to prepare a gift for your sister Narcissa. I heard that there is a boy about your age in the Black family." Si shrugged helplessly. It was not good to be too popular. Every festival and banquet had to prepare many gifts, and it was not just Sister Narcissa.

……

"Fielding, Cathy! You are here! Look at your little girl, I heard Narcissa talk about her feats at Hogwarts!" Signus Black stepped forward and patted her hard. Fielding's shoulders warmly welcomed the Foley family. He and Fielding had a good relationship when they were in school.

Walking into the banquet hall together, we saw people in various dresses mingling with each other, with unreal smiles on their faces.Ace saw Narcissa and Lucius standing together. Both of them had dazzling blond hair. The combination of handsome men and beautiful women attracted the attention of many young men and women.The two of them were leaning against each other and talking about something. Narcissa had a blush on her face. She looked up and saw Ace, and waved to Ace, gesturing for her to come over.

"Sister Narcissa, Mr. Malfoy, hello! Here are gifts!" Ace walked over quickly and took out two exquisite small gift boxes.Narcissa and Lucius opened it together - two very similar brooches, obviously for couples. Narcissa smiled sheepishly.

"You don't have to be so polite, little Ace. It would be great if that guy Sirius was as well-behaved as you." Narcissa pinned up a stray strand of hair for Ace.

"Miss Foley, thank you." Lucius bowed slightly and thanked him in a very gentlemanly manner.

Ace waved and returned to his parents, Sirius?Is it the boy who is about to enter school?

Ace followed his parents and said hello at the banquet, then went out to hang out in the garden with a glass of orange juice.The large garden of Black Manor is different from that of Foley's house. There are not many flowers planted. They are all neatly trimmed green shrubs. There is only a huge violet tree planted next to the pavilion. However, it has already passed the flowering period and there is only one green tree. leaf.

Ace walked to the pavilion and sat down. He just raised the cup and took a sip of orange juice when he heard a boy's voice: "Hey, who are you! Why are you sitting here?" Ace turned around and saw a man with slightly curly black hair. The little boy stood under the huge tree and shouted to her.Although the little boy looks small, he already has the capital to dazzle girls. He has relatively three-dimensional facial features, a pair of deep gray eyes, thick eyebrows, and red lips. He is a typical dark-style handsome boy.

"I am Esperance Foley from the Foley family. Who are you? I prefer quiet places."

Sirius Black's tense body relaxed slightly when he heard that it was from the Foley family. He heard that the Foley family had good relations with some half-blood and Muggle-born wizards and was not a fanatical supporter of pure blood.He walked over and sat down next to Ace, "From the Foley family? I've never seen you before. Maybe you should go to the banquet with those annoying pure-blood guys instead of sitting here alone."

After hearing what he said, Ace finally understood why Sister Narcissa was having such a headache. After all, the Black family was a family that very stubbornly advocated pure blood. Thinking about Sirius's different ideas and his seeming distaste for pure blood, they were very upset. trouble.

Ace was a little confused: "Are you against pure blood?"

"Of course, this is a stupid point of view. They removed Sister Andomira because of this! I don't understand the difference between Muggle-born wizards and pure-blood wizards! There are no real pure-blood families anymore! Andomira Sister La is a very good person, but they actually expelled her because of this stupid idea! They are all a bunch of stupid Slytherins!" Sirius said excitedly, his face turned red, and he was very disappointed with Andromira being killed by the Black family. Very dissatisfied with the removal.

Ace sat a little further away to prevent the excited person in front of her from spitting into her cup. She had heard about this matter. She heard that Miss Andomira Black was married to a Muggle named Tonks.Ace thought for a moment and replied: "Although I think it's a funny reason to remove your sister from the list, almost everyone at the party today is in favor of it, except for my parents."

"You think so too?" Sirius was a little happy, as if someone finally agreed with him.

Ace nodded in agreement. Sirius seemed to have finally found a like-minded person and started chatting with Ace very excitedly.

"Have you already enrolled? I'm going to Hogwarts soon. I absolutely, absolutely, absolutely don't want to be sorted into Slytherin..."

Ace was forced to listen to Sirius's hatred of Slytherin and his determination to go to Gryffindor all night. He was rescued by his parents near the end of the party.Although she didn't agree with Sirius's theory that Slytherins were all annoying pure-bloods, she still accepted the invitation to play together next week. After all, she couldn't help it under the expectant eyes of the beautiful sister Narcissa. She refused, but she didn't tell her that Sirius was going to go with her to find his uncle, Mr. Alphard Black, who lived in the Muggle world in London. This should make Sister Narcissa very unhappy, she felt.

……

Since receiving Ace's reply, Severus and Lily often gathered under the big tree to read together. They exchanged interesting things with each other and practiced magic together - using branches as wands.Half a month after Ace's vacation, they received the long-awaited admission notice. This made Petunia extremely envious, so she secretly wrote a letter to Principal Albus Dumbledore, saying that she too Want to go to school.

"Sev, look! There was a war in the wizarding world! Goblins rebelled! Oh my god, what are goblins?" Lily turned to the next page, saw the title, and said to Snape in surprise.

"Maybe they are house elves. I heard that they have very high magical talents." Snape was addicted to the "Details on the Preparation of Potions" in his hand and answered casually. This book is much more detailed than his mother's old book, and there are Many of the witch's opinions, although some of them were not quite right - he tried them.Lily glanced at Snape and curled her lips, nerd!

……

When Ace arrived at Grimmauld Place in London, it was already nine o'clock in the morning. Sirius was sitting by the wishing pool in the center of the square, dangling his feet in boredom, looking up at the statue in the center of the pool.

"What are you looking at?" Ace walked over, looked at Sirius, and then at the statue of the woman who was missing half of her wings and couldn't take off.

Sirius trembled, frightened by the sudden appearance of Ace. He stood up and jumped, and replied: "I didn't see anything, I was just in a daze. Come on, I will take you to find my uncle Alphard. He It’s so fun! He took us to the amusement park today.”

"Your uncle's house lives very close to Asta. Do you want to go with me to find Asta first? She also really wants to go to the amusement park. Her parents are always busy and don't have time to take her there. You Do you mind calling her?"

"Asta? Your classmate? It's not impossible."

"Asta Taylor, my best friend, is also my roommate. You don't mind that she is a mixed-blood, right? Her family also lives in a neighborhood in the Muggle world."

"Mixed blood? Of course you don't mind! Let's go, hurry up!"

……

So when the two of them knocked on Asta's door, she was startled.The little girl looked at Ace with wide eyes. She had messy blond hair and was wearing loose house clothes.

"Ace! You didn't tell me you were coming to find me! Who is this?" Seeing Sirius beside him, Asta's face suddenly turned red, and he quickly stretched out his hand to shave his hair a few times, trying to make it look uncomfortable. So messy, he even gave Ace a somewhat complaining look.

"This is Sirius Black. We are going to go play with his uncle. Asta, please come with us. Sirius said that his uncle will take him to an amusement park today, but I haven't been there yet!" Ace "Pfft. "Chi" burst out laughing, seeing Asta's unkempt appearance in front of outsiders for the first time.

Sirius nodded: "Hello, Miss Taylor, just call me Sirius."

"Wait for me, I'll be right back." Asta slammed the door shut and ran back with a bang.In less than 10 minutes, she came out, with her blond curly hair tied neatly behind her head, wearing a light blue tutu skirt, a pair of white leather shoes, and holding a small white handbag in her hand - Ace took a look You know it has a traceless telescopic spell on it, and it looks like a doll.

"Miss Taylor, why does your family live in London?"

"Just call me Asta. My father is a Muggle-born wizard. In addition to working at the Ministry of Magic, he also manages the family's property. It's more convenient to live here."

……

It didn't take long to arrive at Alphard's home - a two-story white villa with a small garden at the door.Alphard was waiting for Sirius. He seemed very happy to see that he had brought two friends, and even cooked a sumptuous meal himself.

"Sirius, you shouldn't come so often, your parents will be very angry." Armed said to Sirius at the dinner table.

"I don't! What's wrong with me coming to you, uncle? It's all them, they're too stubborn! I won't give up!" Sirius was very angry, and the fork squeaked on the porcelain plate, and Armed He could only shake his head helplessly, expressing his disapproval.

……

Mr. Almid was very gentlemanly. In the afternoon, he drove the children to the amusement park and thoughtfully brought two sun umbrellas to prevent the two little girls from being exposed to the sun.He always pays attention to whether the children are thirsty and will accompany them wherever they want to play.After Asta went back, he quietly told Ace that he must find such a husband in the future, which made Ace laugh and tease Asta for starting to look for future husbands at a young age.

Ace went crazy at the amusement park. She had never seen a playground for children in the Muggle world. She had always read books at home.When she and her parents came to visit Asta, they would not take her to places like amusement parks. At most, they would go to a shopping mall to buy two pieces of clothing - but this rarely happened.

After riding the merry-go-round and the Ferris wheel, Ace and Asta felt that they were not satisfied, so they went to play bumper cars, bungee jumping, and even took the two men to ride a roller coaster. The cheerful laughter of the two girls echoed in the sky. This was probably the time when Ace looked most like a child except in front of his parents, but Sirius and Alphard's faces turned pale after they got off the roller coaster.Asta was in a big embarrassment after entering the haunted house. She was so frightened that she couldn't walk and stood stiffly on the spot. Finally, Armed carried her out.

"That's terrible! Ace, you're still laughing!" Asta stamped his feet angrily, pretending to hit Ace.

"You are too cowardly. Even the Bloody Barrow in school didn't scare you. Asta, they are not real ghosts. I was wrong!" Ace laughed so hard that he was out of breath and pulled Sirius. Run in circles to avoid Astha.

"That's right, Asta, they are just pretending, you don't have to be afraid at all." Sirius nodded in agreement.

"Ignore you, huh! It's obviously scary!" Asta turned his face away and walked to the other side of Alphard angrily.

Alphard smiled helplessly, watching a few children playing around.Dinner was served at Alphard's house. I have to say that his cooking skills are very good and he can make the notoriously unpalatable British food very delicious.

Several people walked towards Asta's house while chatting. Sirius and Ace needed to use the fireplace of Asta's house to get home.
