Xia didn't care how shocked her two good friends were. She ran back to the dormitory happily, and after resolving a big issue in her heart, she fell asleep feeling relaxed.

Horace Slughorn was indeed a knowledgeable Potions professor, but in other aspects... Shia felt it was difficult to evaluate him.

After all, she had just turned down an invitation from the Slug Club.

"Shia, what did Professor Slughorn ask you to do just now?" Lily had no interest in prying into other people's privacy, but Shia's expression seemed too forced.

"The professor just invited me to the Slug Club on Sunday. It's full of pure-blood wizards."

"Slug Club? I know that." James heard the familiar words and joined the conversation. "He also invited us, but we all declined."

"I really don't know what the old stubborn man is thinking. Anyway, I prefer wandering around the castle rather than doing this." Sirius has always been like this. He hates some pure-blood gatherings, and everyone is used to it.

But Lily didn't expect that Ender also agreed. Compared to James who was too lively and curious about everything, Ender was obviously more stable than him, but only a little.

However, this "one point" will be magnified in front of the professor. If the "one point" in front of friends is 10%, then it will be 50% in front of the professor.

Xia scoffed at this and said that the real face hidden under Ender's mask would be revealed sooner or later. Lily recalled that when she asked what the real face was, Xia talked to her for an hour.

James can be said to be the simplest one. He is very easy to understand and shows his joy on his face. He basically has no bad temper and is always passionate about life.

Sirius was like his opposite, his emotions were still expressed on his face, but they were usually cold and indifferent. If he wasn't with James and Sia, Lily could hardly imagine such a person being friends with her.

Remus is just as humble, gentle, polite and studious as he appears to be. This is not Lily's exaggeration, it's just the truth.

As for Ender... Lily could hardly say that she understood Ender.

At first she thought Ender would be of the same type as James, and indeed he was, but he also had some of the shadows of Sirius and Remus in him.

Merlin - that's a weird thing to say. Lily stopped her wild thoughts in time and focused her attention back on her friend.

Ender rarely maintained his good image in front of the professor, which made Lily even more curious about what this was. "So why?"

No one answered Lily's question directly. Everyone smiled in an intriguing way. "Just wait. You will be invited, too, Lily."

"Me?" Lily was a little incredulous. It wasn't that she didn't have confidence in herself, but she just couldn't understand why she was invited.

"Slughorn likes people with powerful backgrounds, but he can also discover people he thinks have potential and strength." Ender commented on their Potions Professor impartially. "Coincidentally, you are the one with extraordinary talent. Don't look at me like that, I'm telling the truth, Lily."

"Ander is right. You are excellent. We all know that." After being praised by the Hopes brother and sister, Lily's face was already flushed.

"Really? I'm so glad you guys praise me like that, but...what did you invite me to do? Chat with those purebloods?" Lily's blush didn't fade away until the very end. Thinking of those purebloods who looked down on people, Lily revealed a look of disgust.

"Hahaha, that's why we refused!" James didn't miss Lily's expression. He laughed exaggeratedly, "I didn't expect there are things you can't do, Evans."

"Shut up, Potter."

James is an amazing person, he has no bad intentions, he is just spoiled. He imagines that he can be the most brave and fearless warrior in the legend and do everything to uphold justice, but he always uses his energy in the wrong way - attracting everyone's attention, expressing emotions exaggeratedly, and arguing with Slytherin.

These may not seem like a big problem, but our Lily Evans also has her own set of standards, and James at this moment just meets the minimum of what she considers a friend - for the sake of Xia and Ander.

"That's why we don't want to go, but Severus will definitely be invited, you can go with him." Xia wisely didn't say that the invited people could bring a friend with them, she knew Lily would definitely bring her! Although she was also invited, she was the one who refused.

Oh, yes, Xia has been recognized by Severus Snape to call her by his Christian name, but he refused to call her Sylvia or Xia, and still called her Miss Hopes.

This substantial progress happened last week. When Xia was discussing potions with him, he revealed that he had many potion recipes at home, but some of them were so old that the handwriting was a little blurred.

Seeing a hint of desire in Severus's eyes, Xia said that she would bring some when she returned from vacation so that they could study them together.

Fortunately, Xia has always been well-rounded. Although her potion skills are not as good as Lily and Severus, they are only slightly better than hers.

Since the future potion master did not show any denial towards her, it meant affirmation, Xia, who was always good at making judgments, thought so.

Because of the slight connection between the potion formula and Lily, the two were finally able to live in peace.

Yay! One step closer to saving Severus from the Death Eaters.

Xia is always optimistic, at least she tries.
