HP: Hogwarts, but pro-generation

Chapter 162: 8 Emotions Transformed

Xia came to the door of the headmaster's office again, and this time she was in a much more relaxed mood than in the morning. Dumbledore was still sitting behind his desk, and the crown in front of him was no longer gray and covered with rust.

"Professor." Xia called out.

"Miss Hopps, I've been waiting for you." Dumbledore raised his hand to signal Xia. He pushed the crown in front of Xia and said in a calm voice: "Could you please describe again the feeling of holding it in your hand?"

Xia was a little surprised. She didn't know what Professor Dumbledore could sense from this, but if he noticed the problem... this was the luckiest thing for Xia. She achieved her goal without any effort!

Xia placed her arms on the table with her palms facing up. She looked at her palms and carefully recalled the feeling. To be honest, she had always felt something was wrong.

"I felt very bad as soon as I touched it. There was an unknown burning sensation, and I felt a force wrapped around my hand trying to get into my body." Xia spoke. When she really started to think back, she realized that she had so many wrong feelings. She raised her eyes and glanced at Professor Dumbledore, and found that the other party had lowered his eyes, thinking about something.

Perhaps sensing Xia's gaze, Dumbledore raised his head, and his sharp gaze shone through the lens on Xia, making her a little panicked for no reason. The two stared at each other in silence for a few seconds, and Dumbledore spoke: "Miss Hopps, or can I call you Xia?"

Xia nodded quickly, and Dumbledore smiled: "Okay, Xia."

But the next second his voice became calm again, as if the smile just now was just Xia's illusion: "I don't think there is any book that says that the Ravenclaw Diadem is like a dark magic item."

Xia nodded nervously. Just as Professor Dumbledore said, no one would say that the only relic left by the founder was a dark magic item, and the crown of Ravenclaw has always been given the image of giving people wisdom, because the famous motto of Ravenclaw is engraved on the bottom edge of the crown - "Extraordinary wisdom is the greatest wealth of mankind."

But Xia's feeling was real. She leaned forward, a little worried that Dumbledore would just let it go. As if eager to prove himself, Xia spoke anxiously, "But - but that feeling was real, really bad!"

Dumbledore seemed to know what Xia would say, and he nodded slightly to Xia as if he had guessed everything. This made Xia a little confused, and she fell back into her seat blankly, with confusion in her eyes: What exactly did Professor Dumbledore mean?

Dumbledore saw Xia's confusion, but he did not speak. He just pondered for a moment and said to Xia: "Okay, Xia."

Xia immediately understood that this sentence was to put an end to the previous topic, and she sat up straight.

"Would you like some cookies, the kind from this morning?" Dumbledore winked at Xia, and seemed to have made up his mind not to talk about the crown anymore. This made Xia open her mouth several times but she didn't know what to say, so she had to lean back in her chair in frustration.

"I know you have a lot of questions, but I need to think about it carefully." Dumbledore spoke again and explained to Xia. Xia felt a little flattered when she realized this, but thinking about her own performance, she seemed to know why the professor said this abruptly, and this realization made her blush slightly.

She nodded and lowered her eyes. She didn't know what question Dumbledore understood her nod to be in response to, but a moment later, a light "pop" sounded, and the home elf belonging to the Hogwarts kitchen appeared with a plate of cookies. Xia picked up a piece and put it in her mouth. Dumbledore's smiling voice was in her ears: "I always think their craftsmanship is the best."

Even after returning to the dormitory, Xia has not yet recovered from the state of having eight hundred emotions going through.

Did Dumbledore realize that something was wrong? What could he associate with it? This time there was no screaming Tom Riddle from his school days, could he guess that it was a Horcrux? What did he use to damage it after guessing it? This time there was no basilisk fang, could the professor think of Gryffindor's sword? But this was the last item that Rona left at Hogwarts. In a private message, Xia said that she didn't want the crown to become irreparable - although she didn't spend much time with Rona, the memory of chatting with Lillian and others had always been imprinted in Xia's mind, and she didn't want their last item to become like that.

Xia was lying on the bed, and the rapid change of mood made her a little exhausted. Lily noticed Xia after she returned to the dormitory, but she did not go up to disturb Xia. If she had not known that Xia had different feelings for Sirius during the summer vacation, she would have suspected that Xia was heartbroken by some boy - such an inappropriate reaction.

Felix, who was in Slytherin, stopped Christian. He couldn't wait to share his life in school with his brother. In fact, he had a lot to say since the Sorting last night - he wanted to know about his brother's life, who his friends were, which professors he liked, what courses he liked, etc. In his impression, Christian was not very talkative. After he entered school, he was not at home and had no chance to talk. He even couldn't send many letters back.

"What's wrong?" Christian stopped and looked down at Felix. Felix was chasing after him with a textbook in his arms. His weak body was a little overwhelmed. Christian sighed and reached out to take his book.

"Oh! Thank you. I mean I am a little tired." Felix smiled. He had heard from the portrait in the manor that he and his brother were the weakest and the first person in the family who was not cursed. He sometimes felt annoyed that he could not be as healthy as Christian, otherwise he could go out and play with him. When he was young, he was ignorant and cried every day, which annoyed Christian. Perhaps it was because of that period that the relationship between the two brothers was a little bad.

"Nothing, I just want to talk to you." Felix said honestly. He couldn't see Christian in the manor before, but now he is in Hogwarts, so is he afraid of not being able to catch him?

Christian was a little surprised when he heard this. He looked at Felix and found that the other person's eyes were full of seriousness. He had to say, "Okay."

This softening greatly encouraged Felix. He cleared his throat and said, "Then let's talk about the girl you like first!"

"?" If doubts could be materialized, there is no doubt that the entire Hogwarts would be covered up. Christian finally took a formal look at his brother, "What?"
