Lily acted quickly. After returning to her dorm after astronomy class, she started writing letters to her parents and Penny. It wasn't that she didn't miss home, but when those blue eyes looked at her, she couldn't say anything to refuse. Who would refuse the request of a little angel? And she was full of expectations for the Hopps family!

Dotted quickly and brought Lily replies from Mr. and Mrs. Evans and Penny the next morning.

"Merlin——"

Lily opened the letter and started reading. When she read a certain paragraph, her voice full of surprise made Xia curious. She quickly swallowed the pumpkin pie in her mouth, looked at Lily and said, "What? Did Mr. and Mrs. Evans agree? What about Penny? Will she come?"

"Don't worry." Lily stuffed a glass of pumpkin juice into Xia's hand. She didn't miss the way Xia struggled to swallow such a big mouthful of pumpkin pie. "It's Penny! She got an invitation to the Cokeworth County Ballet Competition! Just before Christmas."

Lily was really happy for Petunia when she saw this. Petunia liked ballet, and she and Petunia had both learned ballet before coming to Hogwarts, but she was really not interested in it. She knew Petunia was talented, just by looking at the teacher's praise for her in every class! She was so happy for Petunia!

"So amazing!" Penny's image suddenly became taller in Xia's eyes. She admired all people with artistic talent!

"Yes, Petunia has always been very talented and hardworking." Lily exuded pride when she talked about Petunia's ballet, "and she is my sister."

She is my sister~, Xia thought a little sourly, why doesn’t Ander have these talents?

She looked at Ander with some disappointment, and received a confused look from him: "?"

"Why is she looking at me like that?" Ender poked Sirius who was eating breakfast seriously.

The person who was interrupted put down the sandwich in his hand, looked up at the girl opposite him, and said in a mysterious and strange tone: "Who knows?"

Huh, Andre dancing ballet? Sirius listened to the conversation on the other side word for word, and couldn't help but imagine the scene. Well, it was a bit scary.

He patted Ender's shoulder earnestly. Ender, confused for the second time, tilted his head: What? Is it the wrong way to get up? Why did the Riddler come to Hogwarts?

Oh, and the Riddler is his favorite villain in the Batman series.

How did he know about Batman? A little boy came to the valley before. His mother was a wizard and his father was a Muggle. He showed Ender a lot of Muggle comics during his time there, but they moved away soon. Ender never read Muggle comics again.

He told him to get the Riddler out of Hogwarts! He looked at Xia and Sirius with resentment. He hated the feeling of not finishing his words.

After reading her parents' letter, Lily didn't want to wait a moment and started reading Petunia's letter in a low voice.

After her sister received the admission letter from Hogwarts, Petunia rarely showed such high emotions.

In this letter, Penny first spent a page expressing her nervousness and then her uncontrollable excitement. Between the lines, one can see how much importance she attaches to this competition.

The second page is about her longing for Xia and her harsh condemnation of her for not writing to her. At the end, she said that there was still some vacation time after the game and she could go to Hopes' house to play, but Lily had to be there too.

The original words were - "I know you will definitely go, even if Xia is there, but I think it will be difficult for me to stay in a place full of wizards, even though you are also a wizard."

Lily could imagine the disgusted and expectant expression on Penny's face when she wrote this sentence. She knew that Penny had forgiven her, because her pride would not let her say "I forgive you" directly.

Xia, who was sitting next to Lily, heard the entire content of the letter. She felt a little guilty. Life at Hogwarts was so interesting that she even forgot about writing the letter. "Penny forgives you!"

If we were to say who cares most about this issue besides Lily, it would be Xia. The friendship between girls is very strange. Even though she and Penny only knew each other briefly at the station, she still regards Penny as one of her best friends. She is also particularly concerned about the relationship between her and her sister, not to mention that the other party is her good friend and roommate.

"Let's go to the kitchen and have some cake to celebrate! Tonight!"

"But……"

"I promise it's just a celebration. After we get the cake we'll go back to the lounge before curfew!"

It was those eyes full of pleading again. This was Lily's last thought before she agreed in a daze.

"Xia, I swear I will never promise you anything casually again!"

Two small figures huddled behind the armor in the corridor. Lily was breathing heavily with some palpitations. She had not yet recovered from the thrill she had just experienced.

"Sorry, sorry~" Xia clasped her hands together, "I couldn't help it. Don't be angry, Lily."

Damn, it’s that hateful eye attack from Sylvia again.

Lily took a deep breath and forced herself not to look at the other person, "Can't help but eat supper until curfew? I really doubt whether you have eaten dinner!"

"I really can't help it, Lily."

Feeling her clothes being gently tugged, Lily was really getting angry - at herself.

She spat at herself fiercely and then said in a softened tone, "Well, the most important thing for us now is to avoid Filch."

Tsk, Sylvia is still the one who knows how to act coquettishly!

Xia, who had just finished acting coquettishly, didn't have time to show a successful smile before she felt a strong force pulling her away from behind. Afraid that Lily would fall down with her, she quickly let go of the other person's sleeve.

"Hmm..." Many thoughts flashed through Xia's mind in an instant, and finally converged into a thought that she must remind Lily to leave quickly to find the professor, but her mouth was covered as soon as she spoke.

Feeling the gentle force on her clothes disappear, Lily turned her head away from looking outside and found that Xia had disappeared, "What—"

Before she could panic, her mouth was covered. This was probably the first time the other party had kidnapped her like this. Lily felt her mouth and eyes were covered tightly.

Merlin - don't let her know who it is! If she has a chance to retaliate!

Lily, who was having difficulty breathing, staggered. The other party seemed to realize that his actions were a bit rude and pulled Lily with the hand that was covering his eyes. The girl, who was able to catch her breath, turned her head and saw several very familiar faces hiding in the dim light.

"Porter? What's going on?!" The boy who was shouted at quickly let go. He was a little flustered. He touched his pants and rubbed his hands tightly. Finally, he chose to ruffle his hair. Perhaps the messy hair brought him some confidence and he was finally not so nervous.

"Lily! Are you okay?" Xia witnessed James' rough kidnapping method and was a little worried.

"I'm fine." Lily shook her head. "Why are you all here? Don't tell me you're taking a night stroll?"

Thanks to practicing magic with Lily these days, some of the fearless Gryffindors were rarely afraid of the sight of Lily raising her eyebrows.

"Um...are you hiding from Filch?"

"We heard someone talking outside, we didn't expect it was you!"

"Yes, that's right." Lily didn't dispute the fact that they were hiding from Filch. "So you were taking a night walk?"

Sirius and Ender, who failed to change the subject, took a step back behind Remus. Come on, Remus, now! It's time to test our relationship!

Remus, who was placed with high hopes, was a little stiff under his brother's trusting gaze, "Oh, you know, some of the little fun for boys."

The young werewolf had not yet mastered the skill of speaking. At least now Lily was obviously even angrier after hearing what he said.

"This is not a reason for you to be outside. If you violate the school rules, you may even have your gems deducted from the academy."

"That's not the case. We are now accomplices." James returned to his usual self and successfully rescued his good brother.

Lily blushed and touched her nose awkwardly.

Well, she forgot that she was out there too.

"Why are you still outside? It's curfew now, ladies." Sirius raised his eyebrows. He remembered that after the first night tour, Xia announced her withdrawal from the night tour the next day. Ender and James sighed for a long time because of this.

"Haha." Now it was Xia's turn to be embarrassed. What should she say? Should she say that she and Lily had been looking for the kitchen for a long time? Or should she say that she had a midnight snack until curfew?

No matter which one you say, it's embarrassing!

"We went to the kitchen to eat something." Xia's vague answer only confused James. The other party said something like he wanted to go back to the kitchen to celebrate Xia's successful night tour and successfully overcoming her sense of direction to find the kitchen.

Ender and Sirius ignored their friend's shouts. They came to Xia, who nudged Xia with her shoulder, "How did you find it? You didn't just take a chance and walk around."

Facing Sirius's obvious ridicule, Xia's face immediately became hot, "No way!"

She tried to clear her name, but was ruthlessly betrayed by her brother.

"That's the only possibility. Maybe Lily couldn't bear to see her anymore and took her away. But why did you come back so late? Didn't you leave at seven?" Ander thought that no matter how lost you were, you couldn't be lost for three hours, right?

"You ate a lot there again, didn't you?" Ander became more and more certain the more he thought about it, so he turned the question into an affirmative sentence. He knew that his sister couldn't help but keep eating when she saw something delicious. "Be careful, your stomach might be upset again."

Inexplicably, her brother guessed the reason, and Xia felt her face getting even redder, "No way!"

But her rebuttal was like no rebuttal.

Don't think I didn't see you smiling, Sirius!

Xia looked viciously at the person who was laughing softly.

Damn Sirius!

And that nasty Ender!
