HP: Hogwarts, but pro-generation

"Xia!" The door of the ice cream shop was suddenly pushed open, and two boys rushed in. "Finally found you!"

"Well..." Xia held the ice cream in her hand and suddenly felt a sense of embarrassment when she saw the sweat on Ander and James' foreheads, "Would you like some?"

She had completely forgotten about them...Okay, she admitted that she had done it on purpose.

Instead of the imagined scene of Xia waiting for them to come back, she was with a stranger and even exchanged ice creams! Ander's smile faded a little: "I thought you would run over to us as happily as we did when you saw us."

"Hey, Ender, you don't think that after we've abandoned Xia for so long, she would still be happy to welcome us?" James opened his eyes wide as if Ender had met Xia for the first day and didn't know her temper.

To James, it was good enough that Xia didn't turn around and leave the moment she saw them, kick each of them as she passed by, and roll her eyes at them.

But Xia's current state was beyond his expectations. However, he and Ander were in the wrong, so he smiled apologetically at Xia and said, "Sorry, Xia, we left you here alone."

A slightly sweet smell floated to his nose, and James said, "Oh, this is a vanilla ice cream, and there is also a... chocolate one? Then I'll have a banana one, and we can take turns." Seeing that Xia had no intention of blaming them, he decisively changed the subject and immediately ran to Mr. Florin.

After hearing what James said, Ander was still wondering how Xia could be with a stranger. Now he had nothing else to say. He showed the same apology as James and said, "Sorry, Xia, I promise I won't leave you here alone."

He and James Xia always acted together, but this time it was just a small matter. After a few days, when the matter was settled, this situation would not happen again. But now thinking about it, he felt that what he did was wrong. What did he do? ! ! Leaving Xia alone in the busy street, he didn't dare to think about what might happen to Xia during this period...

Never mind, never mind. Don't think about it anymore, Ender, he comforted himself in his heart.

But still frightened by the terrible idea he had come up with, Ander swore that such a thing would never happen again. Even if there were some little secrets that he couldn't tell Xia, he would never leave her alone again.

Seeing that her brother was about to be drowned by the overflowing guilt, Xia immediately said: "Andre, don't you want ice cream? I think James is going to buy it."

For Xia, it would be a lie if she wasn't angry - her good friend left without saying a word, leaving her alone - but she also knew Ander and James, and there must be a reason behind this. So forget it this time, considering that she met Sirius by accident, Xia decided to forgive them.

If it happened again...she would make sure the Hopes family had only one daughter.

Ender, whose attention had been diverted, really didn't dwell on the matter. He glanced at Xia and Sirius, and it was obvious that he wanted to say something. In the end, he resisted the urge to ask questions, and ran to James' side. The two restless heads came together, mumbling about what flavor of ice cream to buy.

After the two came back from shopping, James sat down and said directly: "I'm James Potter, are you Xia's new friend?"

Ander also turned his eyes to the boy who was slowly eating ice cream, "Andrick Hopps."

"Sirius Black." After the two of them introduced themselves, the strange boy in front of them spoke: "Xia and I just met."

"What - what did you call her?! Xia?" Ander said in disbelief after hearing the name. He frowned and almost jumped up: "Who told you to call her Xia? Didn't you just meet?" Ander seemed quite excited and his voice rose unconsciously.

Sia twisted uncomfortably in her chair. She gently tugged at the corner of Ander's clothes and explained, "It's me. I said my name was Sia Hopps."

Seeing that Sirius was still a little confused, Xia explained to him: "Let me introduce myself again, I'm Sylvia Hopps."

Sirius was surprised for a moment. He didn't expect that the name he had been calling for so long was the other person's nickname.

The other party's rare silence made Xia feel a little embarrassed. She secretly regretted that she was too excited to see the young version of Sirius and directly reported everyone's nickname for her. She should have been calmer. It's just that the people around her have been very familiar to her for so many years. She was used to hearing them call Xia's nickname, so she didn't react for a while.

Xia and Sirius laughed dryly at this little mistake, and the atmosphere instantly became a little awkward.

Fortunately, James was an overly enthusiastic person. He pulled Sirius and Ender aside and began to talk incessantly. Xia was concentrating on eating ice cream beside them and occasionally responded. The topic gradually shifted from Diagon Alley to Hogwarts to the Sorting.

James said loudly, "I'd go to Gryffindor! There's bravery buried deep in my heart there, just like my father."

As he said this, he stood up and made a gesture of drawing a sword. Seeing this, Ander nodded in agreement. But Xia didn't say anything. She didn't really care where they went. Of course, it would be best if she could be assigned to Gryffindor and go with them. But no matter where they went, she believed that she was her parents' favorite child.

Sirius added, "Our whole family is Slytherin."

James was surprised and said, "Oh my god, I thought you were pretty good."

"You should have realized it when you heard my last name was Black." Sirius didn't mind what James said. He grinned and said, "Maybe I will break tradition."

Ender said, "A Gryffindor Black? That sounds cool."

This statement was agreed by several people, especially Sirius, who smiled even more deeply.

A few people were chatting in the ice cream shop, waiting for their adults to pick them up.

"Are you coming to Potter Manor to play?" James asked finally. He didn't know why he invited someone he had known for less than half a day. He just thought of it and asked naturally.

In fact, he likes Sirius very much, he feels like another good brother to him, of course there is another one, Ander. As for Xia, James said with his rare emotional intelligence that Xia is a girl and cannot be called a good brother, but she is also his best friend.

Upon hearing this, Xia sighed silently: As expected, James and Sirius seem to be a perfect match. No matter when they met, they will be as close as brothers.
