HP: Hogwarts, but pro-generation

Xia came to the restaurant. Carl had prepared all the items and even thoughtfully pulled out a chair for Xia. She only had to sit on the chair to enjoy the dinner that Carl had carefully prepared for her.

Mr. and Mrs. Priest had already sat down at the dining table. Xia felt a little embarrassed. She scratched her head and asked, "Grandpa, Grandma, have you been waiting for a long time?"

"Oh, dear, that's okay." Fiona didn't mind waiting any longer. "In comparison, Oswin and I would rather know what interesting things you have done."

Oswin blinked and also looked like he was listening carefully: "You know, we also like interesting things."

Xia immediately became interested, and she began to share all the interesting things she encountered in the manor.

"I found a smoking teapot! It started smoking when I walked towards it, and I tried to step back a little, and it immediately stopped."

"I remember we brought it back from Croatia when Anna was five years old." Fiona remembered about the teapot.

"Also, there is a pair of shoes that can scream! I found it in a box. It is so strange that I couldn't help but put it on. I didn't expect it to scream and even stick out its tongue from the front!"

"Maybe it's the one we brought back from Germany? Is it purple and sticks out a red tongue when walking?" Oswin nodded his chin. He was deeply impressed by this. Anna showed great love for the shoes when she received them. She loved running around the manor in them the most. Oswin and Fiona basically didn't enjoy a quiet moment during that time! Later, Oswin couldn't help hiding it, but he didn't expect Xia to find it out. Sure enough, blood relationship is a magical existence. Anna and Xia like the shoes very much.

"What about that little table lamp that sprays water? Is it also mom's collection?" There was a gleam of curiosity in Xia's eyes. She leaned forward slightly, and couldn't wait to hear her grandparents share more about her mother.

"Oh, that one~" Fiona smiled nostalgically, "That's not Anna's collection. She and that little desk lamp are incompatible."

Xia became even more curious, her eyes full of anticipation to continue. Fiona continued, "It was a little prank by Oswin and I. Anna wasn't as obedient as you and Ander when she was little, nor was she as mature and stable as she is now."

Xia secretly stuck out her tongue. She thought that her grandmother really had a deep filter for her and Ander, especially Ander. He was not the good boy in front of the elders. But she didn't expect her mother to be so naughty when she was a child. Although she is a little better now, thinking of this, Xia silently apologized to her mother in her heart.

"Did you find anything else interesting?" Oswin said.

"Of course, Grandpa." Xia's eyes lit up when she thought of the photo she found. "I also found a photo of my mom. It's a photo of her at Hogwarts! It was taken by my dad!"

Oswin and Fiona let out a surprised "Oh" and asked curiously, "What photo is it?"

"This is it." Xia took out the photo from her pocket and handed it to Oswin and Fiona.

Oswin took the photo and took a look at it. Apparently some bad memories came to his mind. He snorted coldly: "I still remember that incident."

Fiona laughed and said, "I remember that, too."

Fiona didn't let Xia's curiosity fall. She described that memory to Xia in a vivid tone: "Oswin and I were enjoying afternoon tea in the manor. Your mother's owl broke into the manor at that time. It was as reckless as your mother."

"Oswin took the letter, and I went to get some bread for the little owl. When I came back, I saw that Oswin's face was red. After reading the letter, he slammed it on the table. It was obvious that he was furious."

"I took the letter and Anna only wrote one sentence on it." Fiona paused, "She said: Mom and Dad, I'm in love, and he is Lawrence."

Xia couldn't help laughing after hearing this. She glanced at Oswin and then at Fiona, and found that they didn't look very angry, so she laughed out loud with relief: "Oh, this letter is really terrible."

"Yes, yes." Fiona could not deny it, "Your grandfather almost thought that your parents were going to elope."

Xia really laughed out loud this time. She asked, "And then?"

"Humph, I almost went to Hogwarts to see who this malicious wizard was." Oswin had changed his attitude at the beginning. He drank a mouthful of soup slowly. "Fortunately, Lawrence knew what letter Anna sent back. His owl arrived at the manor shortly after we received the letter. He explained it in detail."

"Luckily we have the letter from Lawrence, otherwise we would have been led astray by your mother." Fiona said thankfully, "We should have known that Anna was a little irritable at that time, and her words could not be understood as she wrote."

Fiona shrugged. Although she believed that the child she raised would not trust others so easily, whether it was coaxed or otherwise, at that moment she and Oswin had no time to think too much. They were only worried about whether their daughter would be hurt. In fact, after a short impulse, before Lawrence's letter was delivered, they calmed down. They believed that Anna would not do such a thing, but her description... Really, Fiona and Oswin could only say that it was fortunate that Lawrence was there.

"It seems that Dad really had a hard time back then." Xia commented seriously after laughing, but she still asked tentatively: "Grandpa, Grandma, are you still angry with Dad now?"

"Oh, dear, why do you think so?" Fiona was a little surprised. "Of course we are not angry, we are just too worried about your mother. However, as long as she believes that it will not hurt her, your grandfather and I will not object."

"Don't be fooled by your grandfather, he's just exaggerating." Fiona remembered Oswin's indifference, and she touched Xia's head soothingly, "He loves your father very much, just like he loves your mother. We love you and Ander as well, a little more than we love your mother."

Xia's somewhat uneasy mood completely relaxed. She knew that her grandmother would not lie to her, and she could also see her grandfather's attitude. She would always feel at ease to get a positive answer.

Oswin did not refute Fiona's words. He looked at Xia and said seriously: "Sometimes, the emotions we express are not our true emotions. For some people, they hide their true emotions. This is their way of protecting themselves or others. Dear, we must learn to distinguish. We cannot misunderstand others because of our own wrong judgment. That is not their true intention."

Oswin paused here, giving Xia time to think and digest the meaning behind these words: "You may not fully understand it now, but I think you will understand it when you grow up. I am very happy that you can ask this question. You know, many people don't have the courage to do so. Similarly, I am very sorry that you have misunderstood, but I did judge Lawrence at the beginning, until I found that he was indeed a qualified wizard."

"But I have to remind you something." Oswin's face was heavy, and his tone was serious and could not be ignored: "Don't learn your mother's way, otherwise your father will not be able to bear it. He doesn't have a strong heart like me."

Oswin said this in a joking manner at the end, and his words marked the end of the dinner.

At night, Xia lay in bed, reviewing what happened today, and then she sat up and suddenly realized: Gordy and the others didn't know about Merlin's existence, so they existed before Merlin, plus Gordy said he was a griffin... Merlin! She should have thought of it earlier, Gordy, Sarah, Hull, and Rona are nicknames of the founder's name! Moreover, Lillian and Horace seemed very familiar with them...

Xia didn't know how to react. She just wanted to ask Sarah what she would think if she knew that Voldemort had a descendant like him?
