HP: Hogwarts, but pro-generation

Xia quickly chased after him, and when she arrived, Ander and a few others were already leaning against the door and eavesdropping.

Xia: ...Do you really think that it's over once the adults close the door?

"I can't hear anything..."

"Would you like to go in a little further?"

"Don't listen!" Xia said to them from behind. "Well, I still have a secret I haven't told you."

"And more?!" Ander's eyes widened slightly because of shock. He didn't even want to listen to the corner. He walked quickly to Xia's side and looked down at her. "And more, secrets? Sylvia, when did you become so good at hiding, huh?"

Ander looked at Xia with a wry smile, as if to say "leniency to those who confess, severity to those who resist".

"Let me guess. Is it about Voldemort's most core secret? Are you worried that if you tell us, we will be impulsive and disregard our safety? And now you are planning to tell us. What are you thinking? Do you think you can't hide it anymore? You think we will know the answer sooner or later. You think it's better not to waste time on this?"

Every word that Ander said hit Xia's heart. What he said was exactly the same as what she was thinking. Because they were exactly the same, Xia felt even more ashamed.

"I..." Her hands tugged at the edge of her clothes nervously. She should have protested. She might have said it was for their own good, but even she would not accept such a flimsy excuse.

"Sylvia, I really don't know what you are thinking. Is your brain full of water? Or do you think that I, we are a group of reckless people? Why should I rely on your judgment and cognition to decide all this?"

"I'm not angry." Ender shook off James and Sirius's hands that were restraining him. He approached Xia step by step, saying the words that he had been suppressing for a long time.

"Andre, calm down first—"

James still held Ender's arm and held his wand tightly. Although he agreed with Ender's words in his heart and felt that Xia just needed some method to wake her up and let her know that she was never alone, he was actually worried that he would not be able to control Ender in a while.

Every second James held Ander, he was thinking: Why not knock him out now? What are you talking about? He is not afraid that Xia will get anxious later...

James was so worried about his two best friends, but one of them was completely unaware of his "kindness" and kept chattering.

"You'd better tell me. This is the last secret. Xia, I care about you because I'm your brother and we are family. James and the others care about you because you are friends. Is it true that the better your family and friends are to you, the more you hide things from them?"

James and Lily nodded frequently, but when they saw Xia's expression, which looked like she was about to burst into tears, they shook their heads seriously at Ender, indicating that what he said was too serious.

"No...I..."

"I don't want to hear this right now. If you're not in the mood to tell me the secret, please wait for me for another morning. I need to rest."

"Could you please, Miss Sylvia Hopps, make way for me...WHAT?"

Xia clenched her fist angrily and punched Ander in the face. She looked at Ander's complex expression, which was still angry but not reacting to what happened, and couldn't help but punch him again. Sirius was worried that the brother and sister would really fight, so he quietly protected Xia.

"Andrick Hopps, please listen to what I say, and you'd better listen carefully."

The person who was about to cry in the last second was already able to raise her fist to hit someone in the next second. Her voice was extremely angry: "I know it is wrong to hide things, and I can't predict everything that will happen. I choose to tell you now because I think this is the best time, but it is obvious that I was wrong. I will learn from my mistakes."

"I did this... I know no one will like this explanation, but I just wanted to protect you in my own way. As you can see, this is wrong, it's wrong!"

"I paid the price. I implicated Betty. I made you worry... It's all because of my concealment. I realize this, and I choose to make amends..."

"Stop talking, Xia..." Penny held Xia's hand worriedly. She would never forget that she had said so many hurtful words to Lily, which not only deeply hurt Lily's heart but also hurt herself.

From then on, she never wanted to see such tension between the people closest to her, especially since Xia and Ander loved each other deeply and protected and loved each other in their own way, especially since one of them had helped her before.

After being interrupted by Penny, Xia calmed down a little. She took a deep breath and swallowed the apology that was about to come out of her mouth immediately after seeing Ender's unyielding eyes.

"Hmph." Neither the brother nor the sister was convinced by the other. James stood between them, wavering, not knowing who to persuade first.

This is very similar to when they quarreled as children, and one of them was always caught in a dilemma... To be honest, James really felt that his temper had been smoothed out a lot, and he was not as naughty as he was when he was a child :)

"What happened?" Anna appeared in time.

James wants to say it again, this scene is just like when he was a kid! Anna, it's like Merlin has come down to earth!

James looked at Anna for help, his eyes full of desire.

"Oh, Ander's face is swollen~" Anna couldn't help but laugh, a laugh from the heart.

Ander was so angry that he jumped up and down. Even though he was in such a state, his mother was still laughing!

"Hey, Xia's hair is standing up because of anger~"

Xia was indignant. She was so angry and her mother was still adding insult to injury!

"So what!" Ander and Xia said together.

"Fighting?" Lawrence came out and glanced at the brother and sister. "Do you need me to be the referee? Like the time when you fought for a..."

"No need!!!" the two people said in unison again.

Ander & Xia: I should have had the fight somewhere else...

As their anger gradually subsided, the two men finally realized how big a commotion they had just made. Fortunately, the elders didn't see much, at least they didn't see Xia beating people or Ander being beaten.

No matter which one is seen by more people, it will destroy the image.

"What's the reason?" Lawrence asked curiously again.

"No reason, we are exercising." Xia said.

"Haha, yes, we are exercising." Ander glared at Xia and was forced to accept such an explanation. "I am tired after exercising for so long. I want to go back and rest."

"Me too."

After the two men left, the people present who had never seen them quarreling were all filled with question marks.

Sirius asked uncertainly, "Are they okay like this?"

"Well... based on past experience," James said in a deep voice. His pause made Sirius and the Evans sisters feel nervous...

"That's pretty much it."

"Is their relationship really nothing?" Penny was still worried.

"Don't worry," James explained responsibly again, "Actually, I don't quite understand their equivalence, but Ander talked about Xia, and Xia hit Ander... should it be balanced, right?"

"But..." Lily opened her mouth, but only uttered a word before James quickly covered her mouth with his hands.

"Shh, listen."

Because her mouth was covered, Lily and James were very close. The boy pulled her to lie on the stairs, his whole body looming over her.

Calm down, Lily, you need to listen to what makes him take it so seriously. Yes, Lily, you need to calm down.

Lily kept reminding herself, and then she heard——

"Stupid Ender, you didn't even find a place where no one is around to have a quarrel."

"You are the idiot. You were so cruel, and you didn't even find a hidden place!"

Lily:......
