HP: Hogwarts, but pro-generation

Chapter 40 Steam Locomotive

The dinner and dessert made by Mrs. Hopes were very popular with the children. After sitting on the train for a whole day, they were already starving. They rushed to help Anna carry the plates so that dinner could start earlier. If they were not afraid that their levitation spell would accidentally knock over the plates, they would have waved their wands long ago.

After eating and drinking, several people stretched out like a pancake on the sofa, as if their bodies had merged into the soft sofa. They raised their heads to look at the ceiling, their eyes revealing a deep sense of satisfaction.

Anna originally wanted to wash the dishes after dinner to digest the food, but she stopped their request.

Lily, who was not familiar with the Hopes family, looked puzzled. Xia explained to her that maybe Dad and Mom lost the bet again and the bet was housework activities or something like that. Anyway, as long as they didn't make any mistakes, these things would not be their turn during the holidays.

"Let's play wizard chess!" The collapsed Xia didn't want to go out anymore, but it was boring to keep doing this. She remembered that her father played chess with her before she went to Hogwarts.

The energetic boys didn't want to stay at home all the time even if they were exhausted. They wanted to go outside and ride their brooms around for a while. Xia thought they were crazy and would go out to ride brooms in December unless they wanted to turn into ice sculptures.

"Dad can cast a warming spell on us." Ender bravely refuted Xia's point of view. He was sure that his father would support him.

"Yes, that's right. Lawrence will definitely help us."

James believed it firmly, and their firm attitudes made Sirius full of confidence. They held their heads high and went to Lawrence for help.

As Xia expected, after being mocked by Lawrence, several people were ready to leave in disgrace, but unexpectedly a voice sounded behind them: "Didn't I say I won't help you? But you have to wait until I finish washing all the dishes."

Lawrence did not miss the surprised expressions of the little boys. A gleam of light flashed in his eyes and he continued, "You know, tonight's dinner is so sumptuous. I will have to wait a while to finish it."

"We'll help you." They spoke eagerly, as if Lawrence would regret it if they spoke a second later.

Seeing that his goal was achieved, Lawrence showed a smile that concealed his achievement and fame: What a bunch of gullible boys.

He was even considerate enough to stand aside, leaving space for the three children.

No matter how you look at it, this is a deal that both parties are very satisfied with. Lawrence reduced the workload of housework, and Ander and his friends got the pleasure of going out to play - provided they didn't catch a cold the next day.

Anna put her hands on her hips and looked at the three people who were sneezing in front of her. In her hands, she held three bottles of refreshing potion, which was a potion that could cure the common cold. Children from wizarding families knew this very well, except...

"Hahahahaha, what is this?"

Lily stared in amazement at the three people in front of her whose ears were constantly emitting steam. She was almost dying of laughter at this scene.

If there is only one person, this effect cannot be achieved. It is a different story when there are three people together.

James' desire to perform reached its peak at this moment. He had never found this so interesting before, but Lily's reaction made him feel extremely satisfied.

He first got off the sofa and ran around twice, then continued to expand the range until the whole living room was filled with his steam.

Ender and Sirius couldn't help themselves when they saw this, they ran around the living room like crazy, as if they were having a lot of fun.

"Brothers!" Xia looked at the scene and came up with a brilliant idea, "Let's go to the garden to compete. You really look like the front of the Hogwarts Express."

Ander immediately caught up with Xia's thoughts and said that he must be the fastest one.

Provoking boys always works well. James and Sirius were not willing to be outdone, so a competition for the "fastest locomotive" began.

Xia took Lily to the garden, and they watched these people making a fuss quietly.

At first it was just a simple race, but then someone suggested imitating a sound, and the whole garden was filled with the sounds of their whistles.

So how did things develop to this point?

Xia looked at James hanging on the tree in horror. She hurriedly picked up the broom that he had dropped on the ground and prepared to go up and pull him down.

Ender and Sirius, who had been in the air, were many steps faster than her. They arrived beside James before Xia could react. Unfortunately, they were not here to save James...

"Help me down quickly!" James was hanging on the tree. Even in such a dangerous environment, he could not stop his active nature. He twisted and turned on the tree restlessly, trying to use his own strength to get out of the predicament. "Seriously, we are brothers, right?"

"Oh, you can't do that. A real brother would make us laugh for a while."

"The great Quidditch player, James Potter, in this broomstick engine match -"

“We got a great result of third place!”

The gloating voices of Ender and Sirius deeply hurt James' sensitive heart.

"What? Please don't be so disgusting, brother." Ender retorted to James righteously. He couldn't see that James was a sensitive baby.

"Did I say that?" James was shocked, but he was thick-skinned enough not to be embarrassed. "My steam is going to cook the tree."

"If you have any common sense, you'll know that's impossible."

In the end, it was Lily and Xia who rescued the princess trapped in the tower. As for his original knights, they had already slipped away to avoid his revenge.

However, the two of them forgot that their ears would emit steam no matter where they hid, and even under the invisibility cloak, the steam would not be completely covered.

Xia silently blesses them in her heart. It's really a touching brotherly love.
