HP: Hogwarts, but pro-generation
Chapter 27 Conspiracy
The noise here attracted Lily. Looking at Sirius and Ender who were laughing happily and Xia who was sulking over there, she couldn't help laughing.
"Lily!?" Xia felt betrayed, "Why are you laughing too!"
"Haha sorry." Lily said this but she didn't seem to be sorry at all, "But what are you laughing at?"
"You're laughing at me without even knowing the reason." Sky-blue eyes were filled with disbelief. He covered his heart as if struck by lightning and took two steps back.
Lily was really sorry now. She cleared her throat and asked, "Okay, I won't laugh anymore."
"Evans, how did you find the kitchen? With Xia's night blindness and poor sense of direction?" Sirius had a bright smile in his eyes. He could see that this girl was taking advantage of the fact that Evans could not stand her eye attack and was putting on a show.
Oh, poor Evans was fooled by this little liar. Sirius sighed in his heart, but based on Xia's eyes, few people could not help but feel soft-hearted. He gave Xia great praise for her performance.
"Night blindness? Bad direction?" Now it was Lily's turn to be incredulous. "Merlin - you didn't even tell me!"
"Because Xia doesn't like carrots!"
"Shut up, Ender! You don't have to say that every time!" Xia was furious. She swore on Ender's hair that if she continued like this, the whole Gryffindor, no, the whole Hogwarts would know that she didn't like carrots. "And just because I don't like it doesn't mean I won't eat it!"
"Wait, that's not right." The careful little red-haired witch noticed something was wrong. "I thought it was Xia who took me around the castle."
Just like when they were hiding behind the armor, she just thought Xia was delayed because she took too long to eat, not because she was lost.
"What—? Of course not, I'm really lost." Xia had to admit it at this point.
"But you have night blindness, don't you? Come to think of it, you were even able to run smoothly when we were running outside!"
Lily didn't know what night blindness was, but she had heard from Shia about her first night walk, and she said she didn't even dare to walk and basically held on to Remus' sleeve the entire time.
"But it's still early for us to go out, isn't it?" Xia also felt that something was wrong but she was still looking for loopholes.
"Have you seen the painting on the fourth floor?" The man who spoke kept scratching his head, his facial features twisted, "It's the one the short guy always calls us when he sees us..."
"Ah!" Remus seemed to have thought of something, and he said tentatively: "Rabbitty and his banana stump?"
"Right, right, right." James tapped the palm of his left hand with his right hand and said with sudden enlightenment.
"I have the impression that I have been there before."
After Xia finished speaking, she noticed that the boys looked solemn. She asked nervously, "What...what happened?"
"No, it's really not right." Ander took a step forward and came to Xia. "We stole all the candles in that corridor. You couldn't have seen them."
"You mean..." Lily was a little surprised. She was a little anxious. "I thought, I really thought Xia could see everything!"
"Don't make me sound like I'm blind!" She really didn't know what these people were talking about, what paintings, what candles, what being able to see everything?
"Don't worry." Sirius saw Xia's panicked expression and gently comforted her.
If Xia ignored his frown, he would really calm her down.
"Let's go there and take another look!" James made the final decision. He preferred to investigate the site rather than guess.
Several people walked carefully along the way. At this time, there were only a few candles still flickering in the castle.
For little wizards who have only been in school for a few months, Lumos is not yet a good choice!
They are already the most talented group, but the spells class is not all practical but also includes theory. What's more, they only have two spells classes a week. You have to know that many students are not even familiar with the levitation spell.
Along the way, Xia felt that she could sometimes see the road clearly and sometimes not. This strange feeling was confirmed in front of Labidi and his banana stump.
"Are you feeling uncomfortable?" Lily looked Xia up and down, and finally she added: "Because I really didn't see the painting."
"?" Xia felt like her head was about to explode. What did Lily not see?
"You didn't see it, but I did. You don't have night blindness, but I do." She sorted out her thoughts, "Originally, I was the one who shouldn't have seen it, but now it's the other way around. And that corridor should be pitch black."
"That's right. The professor didn't notice this at all. Filch only patrolled below the third floor today." Ender and the others knew the professor's patrol route today very well. What's more, the dark corridor on the fourth floor confirmed everything.
Xia had a vague guess in her heart, but why?
"Don't run around these few nights. We don't have any classes at night." Remus remembered that this week's astronomy class was yesterday, which meant that they would finish the day's classes in the afternoon until next Wednesday.
"It would be better if we could accompany you during the day, at least one person." Ander was a little worried. He held his sister's hand tightly. There was a slight tremor in his palm, and he couldn't tell whether it was from his or hers.
"I don't understand." She was still calm at this moment, "Why? It's like you're deliberately leading me somewhere."
The young wizards didn't know what was going on, but their concern for their friends made them eager to leave here.
They finally breathed a sigh of relief after quickly returning to the Gryffindor common room. The warm fireplace brought them not only a sense of security but also fearless courage and confidence.
"Listen, Xia." Ander was unusually serious. "I will definitely tell Mom and Dad. You don't have to shake your head. They must know this."
"Okay, okay. I just don't want them to worry."
"Oh, really? You think if they don't know, they'll be less worried once you come out?" Ender seldom showed his tough side, and it must be said that his look intimidated everyone who knew him.
"Ender is right." Lily's green eyes were full of determination. "We can tell Professor Dumbledore. He will definitely know the reason."
Xia's nervousness and fear were now all dispelled by her friend. No matter what the reason was, the problem was with herself. But she really didn't know what was special about her. Maybe she just ate the prank cookies by mistake.
James and Remus agreed with what Ender and Lily said. Sirius patted Xia's shoulder and said, "Don't think about it. Go to bed early. We are all here. Nothing will happen."
Everyone realized that it was already very late. Even if they were worried, they had to rest now. Besides, Professor Dumbledore was still in Hogwarts.
At the entrance to the boys' and girls' dormitories, Sirius pulled Xia aside and whispered, "Remember to always wear the necklace I gave you. It contains tracking magic."
After saying that, he followed James and left quickly, not giving Xia a chance to speak.
Ander followed behind Sirius and didn't notice his little action. He went forward and hugged his sister, "Don't be afraid, Xia."
Feeling Xia patting him gently, Ander felt a little relieved.
The boys and girls who were gathered together just now have now returned to their respective dormitories to rest.
"A night-blind glutton? It seems what he said is true." A figure slowly appeared in a corner of the wall on the fourth floor.
