HP: Hogwarts, but pro-generation

From then on, Xia and Ander decided not to use the fireplace when they went to Priest Manor, and they were unwilling to try the fireplace when they went to Hopes Manor. The four elders who heard the news laughed as wildly as Anna and Lawrence.

Xia and Ander were shocked: "Is there really no one who cares about us!?"

Despite repeated assurances that the fireplace would be kept clean in the future, there was no way to change the two little wizards' resolute hearts.

Therefore, the adults had no choice but to take on the responsibility of picking up and dropping off the children without complaint, since it was their fault for offending these two vengeful little guys.

After a while, Oswin Priest arrived at the Hopps's house. After saying goodbye to her parents and Ander, Xia followed Priest away.

Carl prepared dessert early in the morning. He diligently wiped every tableware, repeating that he must give Miss Xia the best service. This made Carl work hard and seriously. As soon as Xia arrived at Priest Manor, he quickly put down the things in his hands and took the suitcase belonging to Xia from Mr. Priest. He said to Xia: "Miss Xia, Carl has cleaned the room! I guarantee that Miss Xia can rest as soon as she arrives!"

"Thank you so much, Carl."

Sia's praise made Carl excited. He muttered something like Miss Sia praised Carl and that Carl was a useful elf. After he put his luggage in Sia's room, he decided to go to the kitchen to prepare a few more dishes. He couldn't let Miss Sia down!

Xia acted coquettishly in Priest's arms, expressing her longing for him, but she also forgot to ask: "Why didn't you let Ander come? He has been disappointed for a while."

"Oh, poor Ander, I'm so sorry." Mrs. Priest patted Xia's head and said apologetically, "But this matter is related to you, so we can't let more people know about it."

"Even Ender can't know?"

"Yes, dear, I'm sorry."

"Okay, I get it. I'll explain it to Ender, but he'll definitely want lots of cookies."

Mr. and Mrs. Priest laughed, and they assured Thea that there would be plenty of cookies, as many as she wanted—if Anna didn't accuse them of spoiling the children and ruining their teeth.

"Don't worry, Xia. When the time comes, Ander will know it naturally. Don't worry."

Xia felt relieved after hearing this. She felt guilty for keeping it a secret from Ander. Since Ander would know about it in the future, Xia didn't feel so bad about it. But the Priests said they would have to wait a few days before telling her, so she could have fun at the manor during this time.

Xia wandered around the manor, feeling a little bored. Fortunately, Priest Manor was very large and there were many places that she and Andre had not explored yet. Their previous activities were mostly in the kitchen, dining room and hall on the first floor, the bedrooms on the second floor, and the outdoor garden. At that time, Xia and Andre had no interest in places like the library on the third floor. But this time, Xia planned to explore the third and fourth floors that they had never been to before Andre.

On the third floor, Xia saw a storage room she had never seen before. It looked like the place where the Priests had stored things a long time ago. Xia slowly wandered around the room, looking at everything here. It seemed that no one had been here for a long time, and everything was covered with dust.

Xia picked up a somewhat ugly hat. She thought that even if this hat was an antique from centuries ago, no one would be willing to buy it for collection. Maybe her grandfather bought it on a whim when he went out for fun, otherwise she couldn't understand why this hat appeared here.

Although Xia felt disgusted in her heart, she still honestly tried it on her head. Just when she regretted that there was no mirror to see what she was wearing, a light flashed in the corner. Xia walked over wearing the hat, and she was surprised to find that there was a mirror here!

Xia stood in front of the mirror and looked at her outfit clearly. She had to say that except for the hat, Xia was very satisfied with everything else. She raised her hand to take off the hat, and a photo floated out of the hat. Xia reached out to take it. The picture showed a teenage girl reading a book on the grass by the Black Lake. The sun, the breeze, the shadow of the tree and even the person who took the photo were very fond of her. She looked gentle and generous. Xia recognized her. This was her mother Anna. At this time, she was still called Anna Priest, because Xia noticed that the back of the photo said: "To Anna Priest".

It was written by Dad, who always wrote the letter "r" with a hook. It looked like a photo Dad had taken, a photo that wouldn't move, maybe a Muggle camera that Grandpa and Grandma had bought. After Xia guessed the origin of the photo, she stuffed it into her pocket. She wanted to share this photo with Ander.

After putting away the photos, Xia spent some more time in the room. She found that this didn't seem to be the place where her grandparents stored things, but the place where her mother hid things. She found many strange little gadgets, such as a small teapot that would spray smoke when someone approached, a pair of shoes that would make a sound when worn, and a small table lamp that would spray water.

"Oh, my mother's collection is really strange." Xia said this, but in action she collected all the small items she liked.

She had almost finished touring this room and was ready to find a new room to "rob".
