HP: Hogwarts, but pro-generation

"Let me explain..." Xia defended weakly. She thought for a long time but couldn't say "Things are not what you think". After all, it was a fact that she liked Lily very much.

Sirius showed his considerate side at this time. Because it was still an "underground relationship" (with faint signs of breaking up), he couldn't say lines similar to those in the Muggle novels that Xia read, such as jumping up and down with a sad face and saying "I don't believe it!" "Love me or her?" Such words...

Anyway, he said considerately, "Yeah, it's not a secret that you like Lily, is this the thing you're hiding?"

"She likes more than just Lily." James said sourly, "This is her ultimate secret."

On one side is the girl he likes, and on the other side is his good brother. In the highly overlapping friend circles of James and Xia, there is no one that the latter doesn't like. The key is that the person she likes will definitely like her too.

James could see that Sirius meant more to Xia than just a friend. Others didn't understand Sirius, but he had lived in the same dormitory with Sirius for so long, and he didn't understand him. According to Sirius's original personality, he was not the kind of person who could say that.

He is not the kind of person who cares too much about other people's feelings.

James secretly complained in his heart, "Yeah, the fact that you like Lily is not a secret."

Oh my god, Sirius, I didn’t expect you to have “bad intentions” for a long time!

But, Ander, why haven't you figured it out yet?

James glanced at Ander and found that he didn't show any abnormality. His face still had the expression of anger for Xia's concealment.

Well, he knew Ender well enough. The longer he kept it a secret, the angrier Ender would be. Bless Sirius, after all, the former could only quarrel with Xia, and there was even the possibility of being beaten back. But if he and Sirius got angry...

Again, bless Sirius. Although there will be no breakup of friendship, fighting with a dear friend is not a good thing.

"I thought it wasn't a secret." Xia replied to James, "Unfortunately, you guessed wrong."

"What I am going to say is not a good thing. On the contrary, it is very evil. It is the most evil thing we can imagine."

"No matter how evil it is, it's not as evil as the wall of house-elf heads on the Black household," Sirius disagreed.

Except for him, everyone else who heard this imagined a blood-stained wall, eyes as big as copper bells staring into the darkness, and a shrill voice calling "Master..." in their ears. They couldn't help but shudder.

Penny looked at Sirius critically. If the person Xia liked also had this hobby, she had to make Xia face reality.

"Don't look at me like that, I don't have that kind of fetish." Sirius noticed Penny's gaze and shrugged to defend himself.

While Sirius was interrupting her, Thea used a Summoning Charm to summon a book on the Dark Arts from the library. She had long ago simulated how she would explain Horcruxes to her friends, and at that time she had searched for such a book in every library she could get her hands on.

Apart from the ones she had seen in the libraries at Priest Manor and Hopes Manor, most books, even those related to the Dark Arts, did not cover Horcruxes in detail. Fortunately, they were in one of the manors today.

Ander saw a book with a strange black light flying towards Xia, and instinctively wanted to reach out to intercept it, but they were too far away from each other because of the cold war they had just had, and Xia caught the book when it was still half a step away.

Ander watched Xia turn one of the pages. Her skillful movements showed that she had read this book many times.

"Is the book all right?" he asked.

"It's a book on dark magic. I searched for it for a long time before I found it." Xia looked down at the page of text, and raised her head after hearing Ander's words. "Don't worry, it just glows black. Except for the unsafe content, everything else is safe."

Ander: ...

Xia's words did not completely put Ander's mind at ease. He thought it was better to stay away from such dark magic. Ander did not care what books he read or what new knowledge he learned, but he was worried that Xia would become addicted to it. Many dark wizards chose that path because they could not resist the temptation. He did not want to arrest his own sister when he became an Auror in the future.

"Look," Sia called out, "this is what I'm talking about."

"Soul... Instrument?" The content in the book was a little blurry. Ander, who was standing next to Xia, barely recognized the word. "What is this? I feel like I'm contaminated when I say this word."

Ender shook himself as if to shake off the dust.

"It wouldn't be surprising if you knew that making a Horcrux requires splitting the soul."

"Split soul?"

Several different surprised voices were heard, and Xia nodded, "That's it. Use bad behavior such as murder to achieve the purpose of splitting the soul. In this way, even if you die, there will be other souls that survive. It can be regarded as a way to achieve eternal life."

After Xia finished speaking, there were gasps of air around her. She smiled dryly, "It's scary, right? But there's more to it than that. I'm telling you this because there happened to be someone who did just that."

"Voldemort?" Ander grabbed Xia's arm and looked at her with wide eyes. When he saw her nod affirmatively, he unconsciously increased the strength in his hand.

It made sense, it all made sense. At the time, he guessed that Voldemort had done something to make him bear a curse or something similar to a curse, so he wanted Xia's blood. He was right, Voldemort really did such a thing, but the Horcrux... Oh my God, this is too unbelievable.

"What's the price?" he asked. To obtain something, one must pay a price. The Horcrux he made was particularly evil, so the price must be high and have a great impact on him. Otherwise, he would not have desperately needed unicorn blood to eliminate this price.

"Even if a complete object is cut into pieces, it still needs to be divided, let alone a soul. The soul carries a person's emotions, reason, memory... It can be said that all of a person's complete attributes are placed on the soul, and dividing the soul into several parts will inevitably affect these."

"How many servings?"

"He's emotionally unstable?"

"He has no reason, he is really a lunatic!"

After hearing what Xia said, several people said in shock.

Ender recovered from his shock and said, "So he noticed his abnormalities and wanted to eliminate them? He also knew that he was affected?"

"According to Professor Dumbledore and I's guess, there are several." Xia first answered Lily's words, and then continued, "It is inevitable that he is emotionally unstable and irrational. I have come into contact with him. Although he behaved like a normal person at the time, as long as he was unhappy or whenever he wanted, he would punish those people."

"Oh, it's okay, he didn't do anything to me." Xia waved her hand. "He probably noticed his abnormality. Although it doesn't affect his normal life, he might also worry that he will lose his basic thinking ability. He is not afraid of any consequences. He is confident enough in himself, but he doesn't want to be deceived by those he thinks are stupid. He will think that is a provocation..."

"So, this is why he found you." Ender continued Xia's words, "He was stupid enough, from the moment he made the Horcrux."
