HP: Hogwarts, but pro-generation

Xia finally bought the latest model of quill pen. She bought gifts for all her friends, so there was no reason not to give some to Christian and Severus.

When Xia lowered her head to choose a feather pen, Sirius saw her fair neck through the gap between her scarf and collar. Xia always let her hair hang down behind her, but now she prefers to tie it up with a headband on the side. Although he kept telling himself not to continue looking, unfortunately, his eyes had their own ideas. He had to forcefully divert his gaze. Xia had a lot of headbands, but Sirius noticed that she used the one he gave her the most, which made him feel sweet.

Sirius had a carefully prepared hairpin in his pocket. He had chosen it a long time ago and had just been looking for a suitable opportunity to give it to her. He thought now was the right time. After Xia finally chose the quill pen and they left the store, Sirius called softly, "Xia."

"What's wrong?" Xia was walking one or two steps ahead of Sirius. When she heard Sirius calling her, she turned around, her eyes full of confusion and curiosity.

Sirius took two steps forward, took out the hairpin from his pocket, and said, "Here."

It was a star hairpin, showing an intoxicating silver-blue tone, and the surface of the hairpin was inlaid with tiny sparkling diamonds. He stood in front of Xia, carefully looking at where to pin the hairpin, and then he raised his hand and gently pinned the hairpin on the broken hair beside his ear that was a little messy due to the wind.

Sirius' tall figure blocked Xia's entire view. She could only see Sirius's slightly open collar and the casually wrapped scarf, as well as his slightly protruding Adam's apple and vaguely visible collarbone. Xia felt that she had made the same mistake that most girls would make - staring at Sirius Black intently.

She felt that her eyes were too offensive, but, oh, Sirius Black was damn charming. Xia was glad that Sirius didn't know this. To be honest, Xia really wanted to pull open Sirius's collar and see his delicate collarbone. She also wanted to reach out and touch Sirius' handsome face, feel his deep eyes and high nose bridge...

Xia admitted that her idea was dangerous and bad, but the other party was Sirius Black and she had no resistance.

"Okay." Xia's fantasy and actions finally stopped the moment Sirius opened his mouth. She suddenly came to her senses and realized what she had been thinking. She hid half of her face behind the scarf, trying to cover her hot earlobes.

"It's beautiful." Sirius said. Xia couldn't tell whether he was talking about the hair accessory or the person...

On the way back to the castle, the two met many people, and Xia recognized some of them - some were classmates of the same grade, and some were classmates who had just stopped to admire Sirius in Hogsmeade. This surprised Xia a little, she had a correct understanding of Sirius's appearance, but she thought it was strange that they were gathered together.

Sirius frowned slightly when he saw these people. He usually ignored the looks that lingered on him, but Xia was here...

"Look, I told you, he's with Hopes." said a Hufflepuff girl. The classmates around her didn't seem to believe her before, but now they all looked open-mouthed in surprise, which made her nodded in satisfaction.

"Merlin, I still can't believe it, but, okay, she is Hopps." A girl with short hair said, "I still remember the way she helped me pull out the mandrake in the Herbology class. She stood in front of me with determination and resolve. Oh, she is my warrior."

A girl with glasses next to the short-haired girl said, "Yeah, I still remember the way she smiled at me, my god, but Blake is handsome... never mind, they're still a good match."

"I thought she would be with Evans. The two of them standing together is a baptism for my eyes," a voice interrupted, "I thought Blake was quite handsome before, but now, well, just so-so."

Sirius heard the girls' whispers and raised his eyebrows, while Xia almost buried her face in her scarf. They all knew that the girls meant no harm, but Sirius still wanted to complain about the words "forget it" and "barely enough".

After returning, Xia distributed the gifts to the people she met. Lily was very satisfied with her scarf, but Severus didn't say anything. Xia interpreted his silence as being equally satisfied. When she gave it to Christian, she also asked why she didn't see him in Hogsmeade, and then learned that his brother Felix was in the hospital wing. Xia took out her treasured candy, but Christian tried his best to "block" her from visiting, so she had to ask Christian to pass it on.

As for Ander and his friends, Shia found them very late. They were excitedly drawing on a map, and James whispered excitedly that there was something new to enjoy. Shia quietly came up behind them and found that it was an early Marauder's Map. She patted Ander on the shoulder, and Ander was frightened and silent. He didn't relax until he found out it was Shia.

"New candies for you." Xia handed the candies to Ander and the others. Not surprisingly, she saw them trying to vomit. Lily laughed mercilessly beside them, and Sirius even fell to the ground laughing.

"This is the worst candy I've ever eaten." James grinned, "Oh, I think I ate a pound of stinky socks."

Sirius smiled even more happily, and he desperately patted James' shoulder, showing the fragile brotherhood vividly at this moment. Ender seemed to be lying on the ground foaming at the mouth, while Remus seemed to be in a better condition, and he could even quickly put a pill into Sirius' mouth.

Sirius' smile froze on his face immediately, and he felt that he had used up all his strength to not vomit on the spot. He made a considerable contribution to the Gryffindor common room.

Once again, the fragile brotherhood is on full display at this moment.

Now all that's left is the purple wool socks for Professor Dumbledore, and, uh, the feedback from Regulus after he finishes eating the candy.

Xia sincerely hopes that Sirius can live in good health until Christmas.
