HP: Hogwarts, but pro-generation

"I can't stand it anymore. I can't ignore Sia."

"Don't think I don't know that you guys have been talking in private. I'm the one who hasn't spoken to her."

Sirius supported himself on the bed with his hands, watching Ander pacing back and forth anxiously in the dormitory, feeling a little annoyed.

"What? Of course I can talk to her. What I'm saying is why can't we talk openly!" Ander stopped and looked at Sirius in disbelief. "When will this damn cold war end?"

He ruffled his hair like James usually did, accidentally pulling out a few strands, which made him feel even darker.

"I don't know." James' voice was also a little muffled, "I don't understand why."

He turned an inquiring look towards his friend, but instead of receiving an answer, he received an equally confused response.

"Did we say anything extreme that day?"

"Snape shouldn't have gone to Slytherin." Ender repeated it in full. He remembered clearly everything that happened that day.

"But it would be better for him to be in Hufflepuff or Ravenclaw than in Slytherin."

"Well... have you ever thought about your own problems? I mean, do you understand what Sylvia said?"

As soon as Remus opened his mouth, he attracted everyone's attention. Looking at the inquiring eyes of several people, he sighed deeply. He finally understood where the problem lay.

"Well, I guess they're not without reason to be angry."

He put down the book in his hand and walked to the door. "My mother has been in poor health recently. I need to take a leave to go back to see her for a few days. I hope you will have reconciled when I come back."

After saying that, he left without looking back. He had been here for too long and couldn't stay any longer. Although he wanted to solve this problem directly, but...

After he left, James said in a tangled voice: "Well... I mean, why does Remus' mother get sick for a few days every month?"

James felt more and more confused. His life at Hogwarts was nothing like what he had imagined.

Sirius did think of something, but the thought came so quickly that he didn't have time to catch it.

After Remus left, Ender buried his head in the quilt. Being treated coldly by his sister, he lost all ability to think at this moment, and he had no intention of caring about other things.

"Thank you for your hard work, Hess." Xia touched the owl's head, took out the cookies she had prepared, and then took down the letter that the little girl brought for her.

"Was it sent by your parents?" Lily sat next to Xia, looking at her happy expression with some curiosity.

"No, it's not." Xia shook her head, "It's a letter from Regulus."

"Regulus? Black's brother?"

"Yes, that's right"

"Why didn't Rayle write to me?"

Two voices sounded at the same time.

It was Sirius who had just walked into the auditorium and happened to overhear their conversation.

"Yes, if you write to him, too."

Apart from anything else, it was fortunate that Xia spoke to him for the first time in the past few days.

Sirius touched his nose uncomfortably. Well, it was his fault. Sirius, feeling no guilt at all, silently said sorry to Regulus in his heart.

"Hey, brother. Congratulations, Xia is willing to talk to you. You are finally not the only one who is left out." James put his arm around Sirius's shoulders and said optimistically.

"Yes, just one sentence. If you weren't mocking me, I would be happier." Sirius's face darkened visibly. "What else do you mean by the only one?"

"Xia told him to 'get out of the way' in the morning." Ander, who was following them silently, said this quietly, and soon he returned to his ghostly appearance.

If Ender's comments were heard by the ghosts living in Hogwarts, they would definitely shout in dissatisfaction that they were much better than him!

Sirius raised an eyebrow, his eyes slightly sympathetic.

Meeting his brother's gaze, James was confused: "That's a good sign, isn't it?"

"Merlin..." As soon as James came out, Sirius once again felt sad that his brother only had a teaspoon of emotional intelligence. He slipped out from under James' arm, patted his shoulder and said, "If you think so."

Ander kept his absent-minded look and followed the two of them.

However, his state did not attract any attention from Xia. She was now completely focused on Regulus' letter.

"Oh! Regulus said his cousin eloped." Xia quickly read the first page.

It seemed that Andromeda Black had left. Regulus only spoke briefly without going into detail. If one wanted to know the whole story, one would have to wait until they met.

However, considering that Sirius joined Gryffindor and Andromeda eloped, she would not be able to see Regulus in the short term. She was still thinking of inviting Regulus to spend Christmas together.

Sure enough, the second page began with Regulus apologetically saying that he couldn't go to her house. Xia, who had been mentally prepared, couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.

but......

"!" She widened her eyes.

I actually forgot! Looks like I have to change my plans.

With Lily looking slightly puzzled, Xia handed her the letter.

The boys who didn't miss their every move are now really curious about what was written in the letter that could make these two react like this.

"what......"

"hiss......"

"It's a bit difficult." Xia said with a little distress.

"What's the big deal?" Sirius thought that as Regulus's brother and Shia's good friend, his sense of mission in this dual role made him speak first.

"Yes, yes, it's a very important matter. We won't say any more. We're leaving first." After leaving these words, Xia and Lily left in a hurry.

The boys, whose curiosity was completely piqued, were feeling anxious at the moment. No matter how delicious the food was, it could not attract them now.

Ander followed closely behind Xia, but he was still a step too slow. When he ran out of the auditorium, Xia was no longer in sight.

This scene was very familiar and gave him a very bad feeling.

All he wanted to do was find Xia as soon as possible, regardless of whether they were in a cold war or not, or whether Xia was angry or not. Even if he didn't understand why Xia ignored them, he would take the initiative to reconcile now, even if he really didn't understand.

But he didn't realize that the ice between them had been broken.

"Where are they?" James stood beside Ander and kept looking around. "It would be great if there was a map that showed everyone's location. We wouldn't have to worry about not finding them."

What James said unintentionally struck Ender and Sirius's heart. They frowned slightly and thought about the feasibility.

This not only requires a large amount of spell reserves, but also requires a thorough understanding of the castle's terrain, which is a huge project.

But damn it's heart-warming.
