HP: Hogwarts, but pro-generation

"Who is it?" / "How do you know?"

Two voices sounded at the same time, and Christian's palms began to sweat. He had expected such a situation - being questioned and doubted - which was of course unavoidable, but he overestimated what he thought he was prepared for.

All the momentum that had been gathered seemed to dissipate into the air after he opened his mouth, just like the words that were spoken. His thoughts flew away quietly for a while. Is this the courage in the heart that Gryffindor values? Will the courage they muster also disappear?

The brief silence from the person opposite made Xia a little impatient. She moved her body. Perhaps she knew that taking a step forward would make the boy more nervous, so she only leaned forward slightly. This did not mean that her sense of urgency had decreased.

Because Christian took a half step back without leaving any trace. This was a sign of retreat, a sign of cowardice, he thought.

"Yes, I know." Christian's eyes began to glance upwards. Today was a rare good day, with large white clouds floating in the sky and the sun shining down without any obstruction. It should have made people feel warm, but the cold wind blowing from the lake seemed to be a million times stronger... Yes, and the sky, very blue... Pure and pure, just like Xia's eyes... Oh, this realization made Christian close his eyes.

"Hogwarts has an anti-Apparition spell. It's impossible to get into Hogwarts with this. It's even more impossible to get in from the outside world. Dumbledore can't hide it from him."

Xia wanted to refute this point, Ender and his friends found several secret passages, and...she knew a way to get in, but she couldn't tell it. But it was true that a stranger appeared in the castle, and Dumbledore would know it, but if asked how he knew it, no one could answer.

Even if someone had the courage to ask, he would definitely blink his eyes and reveal his usual mysterious attitude: "Oh, the headmaster should be given some privileges." But what is certain is that there are not many brave people, so everyone seems to have tacitly accepted that Dumbledore naturally knows everything about the castle.

"And the only people who entered Hogwarts during that time were..."

"Member of the school board!"

The three sounds overlapped and startled a bird perched on a tree. It flapped its wings and flew away. For a moment, they could only hear the rustling sound of the wind blowing through the lawn.

Compared to Xia and Lily who were stunned, Christian seemed much calmer. He should feel relieved as he had already said one of the most important parts.

"I don't understand! The school board! What do they need a second-year student for? Oh, yes, I forgot he's a Death Eater!" Xia's emotions were intense. Underneath her anger was more shock and confusion. She stopped pacing back and forth, looked directly at Christian, and said firmly: "And you... you know the reason."

Xia did not stop talking. She continued, "I never thought that I would have someone confirm my idea today just after I confirmed that he was a member of the school board last night. I may even know his name! Ha, I declare the puzzle game over. Let dear Greengrass tell this participant the final answer!"

Shia was so angry that she visibly emphasized the words "dear Greengrass".

"I know, don't be anxious, okay? Just listen to me, I'll tell you everything I know." Christian couldn't remain calm anymore, he assured Xia anxiously.

As the only person who was still somewhat rational, Lily stood between the two people and stopped the two people who were emotional. This was not her intention. She wanted to question loudly and she didn't want to be so calm, but when everyone was obviously unable to control their emotions, she had to suppress everything that was churning in her heart. No matter what, there must be someone who could analyze calmly.

"Okay... okay! I will listen to you till the end! You must tell me everything!" Xia crossed her arms in front of her chest, turned her head away and spoke word by word.

"The Greengrass family has had a blood curse for many years." Christian said slowly, "and my cousin is burdened with the family curse. In my opinion, such a family should not exist at all, let alone pass on such a bloodline!"

Christian's face flushed. Yes, he had always believed this - after he knew about this damn curse! He witnessed how the elders in his family became weaker and weaker, and also witnessed how his father, who was once tall, lay on the bed and struggled to survive...

He was disgusted.

His younger brother Felix had been weak since childhood and had hardly ever left the manor. He was already ten years old and would go to Hogwarts next year... When Christian thought of the light in his eyes that could not be concealed when he talked about Hogwarts, his heart twisted into a ball.

After entering Hogwarts, Felix did not hide his envy and often wrote to him to ask what Hogwarts was like, how to make friends, and how to communicate with friends...

Because of this damn curse, Felix hasn't even made a single friend in all these years! After his mother died, the only people Felix could see every day were his father and himself. Now that his father was lying in bed, he had come to Hogwarts to go to school. In the entire manor, the only people who could talk to Felix were those noisy portraits and house elves! Obviously, neither of them was the best choice for chatting!

Leah, their cousin, who used to come back to visit the manor, seemed to be in poor health after her marriage and rarely left her manor.

"Yes, that's right. My cousin inevitably fell in love with someone, and they got married after graduation. No, that's not important! What's important is that her husband - Nott - has been looking for a way to remove the curse."
