HP: Hogwarts, but pro-generation

Sirius didn't know if he could say these words now. Should he express his love to Xia when she was sad? Would this scare her? But he wanted Xia to know that he wanted to be her support and would be her support.

"I don't care about that!" Sirius put his hands on Xia's shoulders, forcing her to turn around and look at him, "Whether you lost your hairband, necklace or hairpin, I don't care!"

"I gave them to you because you are special. I gave them to you because you are special, not because they are special. From beginning to end, you are the important one."

"Why are you apologizing to me? It's just a headband. Compared to your safety, it's nothing! So what if it's lost? If you want, I will give you a lot of things, not just headbands. As long as you like or want something, I will give it to you."

"Don't ever say sorry to me, okay?"

There were red flames jumping in Sirius's gray pupils, but her figure was occupied more. Xia discovered this when she turned around and looked into his eyes. The burning emotions in them enveloped her.

The emotions she had been building up collapsed the moment Sirius opened his mouth. Tears welled up in her eyes, blurring her vision.

Sirius's urgent words, his low voice that sounded like a roar and like he was trying hard to prove himself, swirled around Xia's ears, until his pleading words fell, his eyes could no longer bear the tears that welled up.

The tears fell one by one, staining the clothes and dripping on the floor, and were finally wiped away carefully.

Xia vented out her suppressed emotions, her fear at Lestrange Manor, her worry about Sirius and Mrs. Black coming into conflict, her relief at seeing Lillian and returning home, and her helplessness at learning that she had unicorn blood.

Seeing the girl he liked crying in front of him, Sirius' nerves were deeply hurt, and he felt an endless sense of frustration. He held up Xia's cheek like a treasure and gently wiped away her tears with his thumb. He wanted to bear those bad memories for Xia instead of just wiping away her tears.

The heaviness in his chest was shattered by the sudden softness in his arms. Sirius's eyes, filled with sadness, were instantly replaced by astonishment. It was not until he felt a wetness on his chest that he truly felt that it was not an illusion.

Sylvia Hopps hugged him, Sirius thought drowsily.

His hands carefully climbed onto her back. Not being rejected, Sirius noticed and tentatively hugged her. Still being tacitly consented, Sirius could no longer bear it and he suddenly hugged the person in his arms tightly.

Both of them realized that this was an embrace full of love, and that was why they were so greedy for this embrace.

After a long time, Xia finally raised her head from Sirius's arms. She looked up at Sirius and was touched by his gentle gaze, which was completely different from his temperament. All the negative emotions were covered by a sigh in her heart at that moment: Beauty can mislead people...

The bright firelight enveloped the two figures, and the warm tones around them made them sink endlessly. Apart from each other's figures, there was no room for anything else in their vision.

Sirius slowly lowered his head and moved closer. Shia's heart beat wildly as she watched him get closer.

Not only her, Xia also rested her hands on Sirius' chest, and the violent and clearly audible thumping sounds coming from there showed that the owner's heart was equally uneasy.

The girl stood on tiptoe uncontrollably, and the hurried footsteps coming from upstairs instantly woke her up from her obsession.

Ender came out of the room.

Xia felt guilty about being caught having an affair, and she pushed Sirius away without even thinking.

Sirius: This damn stealing of feelings...

Sirius stared at Xia blankly, his eyes full of disbelief.

His eyes moved back and forth between his empty arms and Xia. Xia blinked and tried to explain that it was just a reflex and not... Well, in the end she made a choice. She quickly turned and placed a kiss on Sirius' cheek.

Even though Sirius got a kiss on the cheek, he still looked pale under the flames. He held onto Xia's hand, which she had just pulled from his chest, and said in a hoarse voice, "You wrinkled my clothes."

Hearing this, Xia came closer to take a closer look, and the blush on her cheeks became more obvious. She said embarrassedly: "I will make it up to you."

Sirius uttered an unwilling and aggrieved hum after hearing this. He hugged Xia who came close to him, and then pointed to the other cheek with his finger. Following his obvious and direct hint, Xia tilted her head and kissed the place where his finger pointed.

After Xia kissed and completely left Sirius's arms, he tried to keep her again, so he whispered: "Actually, they are not unspecial."

"I know."

"What I said was from the heart, not just to comfort you."

"I know."

"I……"

"Okay, I know you have a lot to say to me, and so do I."

After saying that, Xia seemed to realize that she was like an irresponsible witch for suddenly withdrawing from the ambiguous atmosphere after the emotional outburst and kissing Sirius to comfort him. She held Sirius's hands with both hands, looked into his eyes and said seriously: "Don't worry, I will be responsible, whether it is clothes or people."

Then she held Sirius's face back as he had held hers, and when he wasn't paying attention, she gave him a fleeting peck on the lips.

Xia didn't miss the surprised and happy look. Just before she had to leave, she said, "See you tomorrow, good night~"

She looked back every few steps, reluctant to leave. The moment she stepped onto the stairs, Xia turned her head again, only to see Sirius standing there with his hands down, looking at her aggrievedly.

Standing on a high place and looking at him from afar, Xia felt that she was a complete bad person.

What did she do? She abandoned Fluffy! What a poor big dog! Look at his hair, it's all hanging down like a limp! Oh my god!

There were emotions in Xia's eyes that Sirius couldn't understand: heartache, pity, and... disgust? Could these emotions be mixed together?

Sirius didn't understand, he was confused, but he didn't say anything. It was Xia who came back and held his hand with such complicated emotions.

He knew that Xia couldn't bear to leave him, and although Sirius didn't show it on his face, he was quite pleased in his heart.

"Would you please walk back with me? I'm afraid of the dark."

Xia saw Sirius' eyes light up, but the words she said were a little...

"I see. I just happen to be going back to my room too. I'll stay with you for a while."

Xia: It's a little weird, but what's wrong with a big furry dog?

"I mean, it's a pleasure."

Xia: This seems a little more normal. There is nothing wrong with a big furry dog!
