Those who knew the truth would not take the initiative to tell the truth. They just exchanged glances implicitly. In the end, Dumbledore spoke first: "It will be very painful to recall that memory, but we need to know what happened and who knows what happened to Miss Abbott."

His blue eyes looked back and forth between Betty and Shia. Shia saw Betty's tightly pursed lips. Just as Dumbledore said, recalling an unpleasant memory was very painful. Shia decided that she would answer the headmaster's questions.

She left Anna's arms, and when she wanted to leave Anna completely, she felt the warmth from her own mother's palm. The firm and gentle power enveloped Xia. The shadows and fears in Xia's heart were being illuminated by the light. She felt warm all over. Love gave her the energy to face any hardship.

She said: "What is certain is that Voldemort is looking for something, and that is me."

"What is he looking for?" Ander pushed aside the adults and walked quickly to Xia. He hadn't had a good talk with Xia since he came back from her, but now was not the right time for Ander.

"Ander, wait until I finish, okay?" Xia held Ander's hand with her free hand. Ander nodded, and as he looked down, he found wounds of varying sizes on Xia's hands - the white mulberry essence that Carl brought back had not been used yet.

Ander unconsciously tightened his grip. Xia took a breath and Ander loosened his hand in panic. He stood there at a loss. Xia shook her head at her brother and looked at James and Sirius behind her. Receiving Xia's gaze, James pulled Ander to his side from behind. He said to Ander, "Let's listen to Xia first and talk about the others later."

Ender knew what was important and what James was right, but he just...well, he just stood quietly behind Xia reluctantly.

"He seemed very anxious for me to stay there—"

Xia heard the boys' disdainful voices and cursing in low voices. They were not as conservative as the adults just now. Xia dared to swear that these were the most novel and unique words she had ever heard in her life. She raised the corners of her mouth secretly. If they were not talking about serious business now, she would definitely join in!

"But, he..." Xia frowned. She was not sure if her feeling was right. She hesitated and said, "It seems that he cares a lot about whether I am willing or not. I know it feels strange, but he has many ways to make me give in. He still gave me time to think - this is not like his style."

"But that's what allowed us to escape from there." Xia didn't explain where the wounds on her body and the blood on her body came from when she just came back. She jumped directly from Voldemort's purpose to the end.

She looked at Dumbledore and found that he was looking at her gently. Xia smiled: "I think, Professor, you must be curious about how we got back. It's really magical."

Betty regained her spirits at this time. She nodded and exclaimed: "She is really amazing."

"Are you talking about the mysterious witch?" the three boys asked in unison, "What did she do?!"

Recalling the last appearance of Lestrange Manor, Xia and Betty could not hide the excitement in their tone.

Betty said: "She appeared out of nowhere and with a flick of her wand she had Bellatrix Lestrange cornered and she had no chance to resist."

Sirius exclaimed, "Wow!" Mrs. Lestrange was his cousin, and he knew her strength well. She was one of the best in the wizarding world, but he never expected that there would be a time when she could not resist.

Sirius felt very happy. He and Bella had been at odds with each other for a long time, and the conflicts were getting deeper and deeper. He was eager to see Bella suffer a setback, and even hoped that the more the better.

"Lillian did appear suddenly." Everyone present was a little surprised that Xia knew the other person's name and looked very familiar with her, but they did not interrupt Xia: "She felt that the bracelet was broken, and then, um, some profound, mysterious magic, anyway, she appeared in a flash."

"And then she set fire to Lestrange Manor!" Betty said excitedly. "The spell was so powerful that she cast it like she was singing!"

"Not only did she burn it, she also blew it up. At the last second before she left, I saw a few people blown up into the sky."

"Merlin bless them, I hope they can go see Merlin soon." James prayed behind him.

Dumbledore watched the two little witches talking thoughtfully. When he heard "like singing", he was almost sure that it was ancient magic. At least now the spells were transformed into a simple form.

"Your bracelet?" Fiona said. "Is it the one your grandfather and I gave you?"

"That's it." Xia took out the bracelet that Lillian gave her last time. "My original one was in Betty's pocket, but it should be gone."

Their clothes were thrown aside after they came back. Carl knew what he had to do. He quickly found the remains of the bracelet from the old robe that Betty took off, and handed it to his mistress.

“It’s amazing,” Fiona said.

Pureblood families have no shortage of magic items, and the family's accumulation also makes it easy for them to understand what Xia is talking about. At least this bracelet is not an ordinary bracelet. It is rare for someone to be able to accurately locate it by breaking it, but it is not impossible. Generally, such magic items also have other functions, not just for positioning.

Since the bracelet was given to Xia, she has never taken it off again. They all know that Xia likes this bracelet very much. So, for her to take it off and put it in Betty's pocket can only be said to be a rare situation, but it is definitely related to the curses they suffered.

Lawrence considered his words carefully. He guessed, "So, it can resist the damage of some spells?"

"Wow, correct answer but no reward!" Sia said to Lawrence, "How did you guess that, Dad?"

Lawrence rubbed Xia's head and said, "Because I know you well enough."

The Aibo family's eyes widened at Lawrence's words.

"Oh my God, child, this...you..." Mrs. Abbott said intermittently, "You don't have to do this."

Betty stared at the remains of the bracelet in amazement. She said vaguely, "How could I not know this? You should have told me."

"Oh, and we pushed each other away a hundred times?" Thea said. "It's nothing, I just did what I could... and it barely protected you."

Dumbledore was very pleased. He praised Sia and Betty's behavior. He said they were the bravest students he had ever seen. He admired such selfless spirit and believed that both Gryffindor and Hufflepuff would be proud of them.

"Of course!" Xia happily accepted Dumbledore's compliment, but she said regretfully: "What a pity, I was hoping to get extra points."

The young wizards who are still in school all agree with Xia's words, and they always want to add points for the academy.

But Anna tapped Xia's forehead gently. Seeing Xia covering her forehead, Anna's tense face relaxed. "Where did you get such an unrealistic idea? No one wants to get extra points by getting into danger."

Xia blinked, she really wanted to say this for a reason, but if she said it out loud, she would definitely be hit on the forehead by her mother again, so she wisely closed her mouth. Xia heard James sigh, which was melodious and regretful. She quietly took a step back and stepped on James' foot, and James' regretful sigh suddenly turned into a shrill scream.

"That's exaggerating, brother." Sirius and Ender whispered from left to right.

"This is the effect we want."

James was satisfied to see that everyone was laughing, and the heavy atmosphere just now gradually relaxed. He didn't like serious atmospheres - of course he knew that he had to be serious when it was necessary, but if it could make everyone happier, James didn't mind making some sacrifices to liven up the atmosphere - fortunately, he always did it.
