HP: Hogwarts, but pro-generation

However, Xia still simply told Ender what happened in the principal's office. After listening to it, Ender had some thoughts in his mind. He thought that this matter might not be that simple. It could attract the attention of Professor Dumbledore. Perhaps there was a hidden story behind it. He just didn't know what role Xia played.

It seems that he still needs to improve his own abilities. He can't be unable to protect others if something goes wrong. It's not enough for him to improve himself. Xia also needs to be more vigilant. Thinking of this, Ander told Xia the purpose of his visit.

"The portrait on the fourth floor, do you know that?"

Ender took back the words "Do you have anything to say?" that he wanted to say, because he felt that this was too much like an interrogation, and then changed to a relatively peaceful way of asking. Ender asked in a casual tone, as if he had no idea of ​​the connection between Xia and the painting. He gave people the impression that he was just a naughty child who wanted to share something interesting and strange.

"Ah, you mean that..." Xia didn't doubt it. She recalled it carefully and told him everything: "In the first grade, I saw a portrait. There was a knight, right? I was lost at that time, and they helped me find the way. But later I wanted to find them to chat again, but they disappeared. But how did you know? Have you seen them? Where are they?"

Xia is sometimes like a curious baby. Different from James' curiosity, Xia's curiosity is manifested in her attitude of getting to the bottom of a matter, while James' curiosity is more inclined towards the novelty of the world and the excitement of discovering unknown secrets.

She threw a series of questions at Ander, and as expected, Ander remained silent. He changed the words that were stuck in his throat into many forms. Finally, he said helplessly: "Ask slowly, which one do you want me to answer first?"

Realizing that she had asked so many questions at once, Xia felt a little embarrassed. To hide her embarrassment, she grabbed Ander's sleeve and shook it: "Okay, okay, I won't ask any more questions. Tell me now!"

Ender hummed twice in satisfaction. He told the conversation between him and the portrait without reservation, but his focus was not on that.

After Ander finished speaking, he looked solemn and said to Xia earnestly: "I know your brain has never been very sharp, but I must say that you must remain vigilant and don't trust anyone easily, ah~"

If we exclude the fact that Ander said she was not smart, Xia was actually touched. She felt that Ander finally acted like a brother and knew how to worry about his sister.

Ender: Didn't I have that before!?

But Ander not only said that Xia was not smart, but also sighed in the end. Xia decided to put Ander in the category of "annoying brothers".

"Besides, you even have secrets from me."

Ander accused, his gloomy tone surrounding Xia, with a resentful look on his face as if Xia had eaten all the cookies baked by her mother without his knowledge.

"It's just a portrait! What's the big deal!"

Xia was shocked, Xia was puzzled, Xia questioned.

"This is not an ordinary portrait. It can even disappear! Why didn't you tell me such an important thing?!"

Ander's fragile heart was hurt. He felt that Xia was no longer able to talk to him freely. Ander was very sad, and he expressed all his sadness to Xia.

Seeing Ander's hurt expression, Xia was speechless. Even if a portrait had a secret...

What about the night she spent with Sirius? Neither Sirius nor she wanted to tell anyone. Shia couldn't imagine what would happen if Ander knew about it.
