HP: Hogwarts, but pro-generation

Sirius's luggage was brought to the room by the house elves, who were happy that they could work. James took them to his room, and Sirius couldn't help but twitch his lips when he saw the slightly messy room on the first day of the holiday. The room must have been cleaned by the house elves, but the question was how did James manage to make it look like Regulus' room, which he had blown up, in such a short time?

James casually kicked away the clothes that had been thrown to the ground due to the parchment being pulled out, quickly cleared a space and said, "Sit wherever you want."

"We should find their location first." James took out his parchment and said. But this was also the most difficult step: the Death Eaters on that day all wore hats, and no one knew who they were, except for Bellatrix Lestrange as Sirius said. Even if they had a guess in their hearts, no one knew where they were taken by Apparition. There were so many pure-blood family manors to choose from, and even Dumbledore couldn't guess it out of thin air.

Ander felt very upset now, he had nothing except the hairband that Xia left in his pocket. Ander was lost in thought holding the hairband. According to his best imagination, they should be opening presents at home now, he might even argue with Xia and say that he didn't want to open the surprise so early, his parents would be in the kitchen preparing dinner, and he could visit his grandparents during the holidays... but not like now, he could only look at the hairband in his hand.

Sirius' eyes lit up when he saw the headband in Ender's hand. How could he have forgotten this!

"I have an idea." He took out his wand and whispered a spell that no one else had ever heard of. The tip of the wand emitted a soft white light. When the white light faded, a string of words appeared above the tip of Sirius' wand - Lestrange Manor.

"The necklace I gave to Xia before had a positioning spell on it. I learned it from the books in the Black family's collection." Sirius explained briefly, and then said to them: "If the necklace is still with Xia, I think they are in Lestrange Manor now."

Ender's eyes widened, James also looked incredulous, and Gary uttered a dazed "Wow".

Several people looked at each other, and then quickly ran to the reception room. They arrived at the right time, and the door of the reception room was opened. James was still worried on the way that if the door was not opened, they might not be able to get in. The Potters and the Hopps couldn't hide their surprise when they saw Sirius, especially when they saw that his robes were wrinkled and his hair was blown on his head, which was even messier than James's.

"Sirius, dear--" Anna took a step forward, smoothed the boy's hair, looked into his gray eyes and asked worriedly, "Are you okay?"

Ander stopped Anna from further caring and said quickly: "Mom! Let's talk about this later. I think we know where Xia and Aibo are!"

"Lestrange Manor, Xia's necklace has the Black family's locating magic." Sirius said, and then he felt himself being embraced in a warm embrace, and a wet feeling came from his head.

"Oh, dear," Anna choked, "how can I thank you - Merlin, good boy -"

Dumbledore stepped forward, "Mr. Black, perhaps you could demonstrate this magic for us?"

Anna let go of Sirius and walked to Lawrence, her eyes red. Sirius nodded and chanted the spell, and just like before, the tip of the wand showed the location of Lestrange Manor.

Dumbledore silently recited the spell Sirius had just said, and after a moment's silence, he said, "You have brought us good news, Mr. Black." Then he looked at the adults behind him and said in a deep voice, "It is indeed within our imagination, but it is not easy to break through the manor's protective magic. As I said just now, we may not be able to find its location, but at least we have a direction, which is indeed good news."

Sirius continued Dumbledore's words, "In fact, her hairpin and necklace have positioning magic. If the positions are different, two locations will appear. I think it can at least prove that they have stayed in Lestrange Manor. They may still be there now, and perhaps the necklace and hairpin were left there-"

It would be a great relief for everyone to know where they had been, and it was not something that could be rushed. If the Ministry of Magic could intervene, it might be easier, but if they kept silent, it would be very difficult to find Lestrange Manor.

At this time, in Lestrange Manor, Xia and Betty were taken to the cellar. As soon as they arrived, they faced Voldemort. For some reason, Voldemort let them go without even taking their wands. Xia thought Voldemort must be crazy - well, even if he was crazy, we two third-year students could not beat him, he still had so many men, Xia thought pessimistically - Rodolphus contributed his own cellar, and now there were only the two of them in the entire cellar.

Xia and Betty huddled together. Betty sniffed, leaned her head on Xia's shoulder, and whispered, "That's terrible. I'm a little hungry."

Xia patted Betty's shoulder and comforted her: "Good news, the pie is still in my pocket."

Betty laughed softly, but Xia's heart sank to the bottom. She couldn't guarantee what would happen next, and even her voice became tense. She said dryly: "I'm sorry, I ruined your Christmas vacation."

"That's not fair. You shouldn't say sorry." Betty sat up straight. She pulled Xia's shoulders and forced her to look at her. She said word by word, "They ruined our Christmas vacation. It's not your fault. Your only fault is that you don't know how to use the heat preservation spell, Merlin. Cold pies are not delicious. Okay, get the pies out. We need to eat something. We don't have the energy to escape from here if we're hungry. Besides, you haven't eaten for a whole day."

"Well, to make up for my only mistake, I think I can use a heating spell." Xia took the pies out of her pocket and pointed her wand at them and said, "I happen to know how to do this."

"Then you are the perfect person now!" Betty said, "especially compared to the people here."

Xia was infected by Betty's optimism. She watched Betty eat the pie bite by bite, and all she thought about was how to escape from here: they had wands, which was good news, but they didn't know any communication magic, and even the offensive magic they used was like tickling to the group of people above. The most worrying thing was that they might soon remember to take away the wands - they didn't have much time.
