HP: Hogwarts, but pro-generation

After running around outside with a steamy head, the cold that could be cured by drinking a bottle of stimulant became more serious. Some of the droopy boys were trying hard to stay conscious. If Anna knew, she would definitely force them to rest early. Today was Christmas, and they still wanted to have fun.

"Lily." Ender sniffed and asked his red-haired friend in a nasal voice, "Can you make a stimulant?"

"I'm sorry, I'm not sure I can." Lily said embarrassedly. Refreshers were a third-grade subject, and although she and Sev liked to challenge some of the higher-grade potions, it was hard for Lily to guarantee that she could make it without Sev's presence. Sev was the most talented one.

Lily couldn't bear to see her good friends in such a depressed state. James, who was always full of energy, was now lying motionless on the sofa. "If Severus was here, we could still give it a try, but now..." She tentatively said, "Why don't you go directly to Mrs. Hopes?"

"Goodbye." James said weakly, "Aunt Anna will carry us directly to bed. I don't want to miss Christmas dinner tonight."

If he hadn't raised his heavy arm on the sofa, Xia wouldn't have been able to tell who was talking. It seemed that James also knew their situation and raised his hand in advance.

"Well... how about we give it a try?" Xia said uncertainly. It was a huge challenge for her to brew potions across two grades. She didn't have special talents like Severus and Lily, so she was a little unsure for a moment.

Lily hesitated but nodded in agreement for the sake of her good friend. She was also worried about their health, but she also knew enough about the consequences of a failed potion.

In the end, the worry for his good friend outweighed everything. The worst that could happen was going to St. Mungo's. Gryffindor was always optimistic in this regard. There would always be a solution.

The Hopps family had a large potion room with a rich supply of potions. The quantity was not as much as that of Hogwarts - after all, the consumption of each grade was very large, but the variety was not inferior.

Lily looked at the huge potion room in surprise. She had only heard Xia and Ander talk about how old Hopes Manor and Priest Manor were and how well-stocked they were. She didn't know that the same was true in the small villa where they lived.

Thanks to the Hopps family's rich collection of books, otherwise they would have been strangled in the cradle before they even took the first step. They probably wouldn't even be able to find the formula with the first-year potion book they brought back.

"Huh..." Lily took a quick look at the formula and found that she originally only had 50% success rate, but now she had 90% success rate. Fortunately, it was a basic potion.

All the materials were ready. Lily stirred the ingredients in her hands with a serious look on her face, while Xia stood quietly beside her, not daring to make a sound. The whole scene seemed unusually quiet, with only the gurgling sound of the crucible bubbling echoing in the air.

The stimulant is now very close to the color it should be, and the only thing left is...

"Merlin!" Lily exclaimed as she looked at the overturned cauldron. "James Potter! What are you doing?"

"I said I just wanted to come and take a look, would you believe me?" James looked at Lily cautiously. He just pushed the door open normally and walked to the cauldron normally... Who would have thought that he would trip over his left foot just because of a sneeze!!!

The five people just looked at the potion spilled on the ground in silence, and no one spoke for a while.

"Let's make another one." Xia calculated the time. It didn't take long to boil the stimulant, and with the few hours of steam spraying, it would be just time for dinner.

Mom and Dad are at Potter Manor today preparing food for dinner with Mr. and Mrs. Potter. They will not be home today. They have plenty of time as long as nothing unexpected happens.

James nodded heavily to show that he could help, but was ruthlessly rejected by Lily.

Likewise, Ender and Sirius were rejected.

The patient should go and rest. Don't try to make any deadly poison while you are dizzy.

Xia planned to use a levitation spell to pick up the cauldron fragments. She would not miss any opportunity to practice magic. Lily always felt like she would go to the battlefield in the next second.

Xia couldn't explain the reason, she thought it might be because she had a different talent for spells.

Unfortunately, she let too many fragments float up at once, and there were always one or two unruly fragments that fell to the ground. After dealing with the majority of them, she was ready to pick up the fragments on the ground.

"Ah." Xia looked at the bleeding finger. If she hadn't seen a little red, she wouldn't have known that she was pricked.

Lily was in the critical moment of making the potion and couldn't get away for a while. Xia came to her side when she asked about the situation. The wound was not very deep and would heal in a short time. Xia didn't care about this small wound and she had stopped the bleeding.

The refreshers were ready quickly, and Xia helped divide them into three bottles.

"Lily." Xia said calmly, "It shouldn't be a problem if the wizard's blood gets into the potion, right?"

Lily, who was doing the final processing, stopped what she was doing and remained silent. Looking at Lily's back, Xia gradually stiffened. She had no hope to begin with, but now she was even more desperate.

"Can I hear what's going on?" Lily's voice was normal, if you didn't look at her clenched fists.

"It's like this, like that." Xia was trying to muddle through, but then she saw Lily's sharp eyes, "Okay, okay, my wound suddenly started bleeding again and when I found out, the potion had already been divided into bottles, so I'm not sure if any of it was left in..."

Xia's voice became lower and lower...lower and lower...

Lily's whole body was turned around now, and she raised an eyebrow, "So, do I need to make another pot?"

Lily was clearly smiling, but why did she look so dangerous?

Xia huddled at the door and shivered. She felt that Lily was going to turn evil, and it was her fault.

She confessed sincerely - if that helps.

"boom--"

The door to the potions room opened again. It was Ender.

He peeked into the potion room. "Oh! Is the potion ready? Thank you. I think we'll be ready soon."

He reached out and took away the three potion bottles from Xia's arms, so quickly that Xia and Lily didn't have time to stop him. When they ran downstairs, the boys were already steaming.

Lily held her forehead and felt dizzy. What was going on?

"Are you feeling better?" Xia asked nervously, "I mean, are you okay? Are you feeling uncomfortable?"

The boys, who were nervous about Xia and Lily's performance, quietly clenched the bottles in their hands, "Well, is there a problem?"

Being stared at by three pairs of nervous eyes, Xia took a few steps back unconsciously. She swallowed and said, "I'm not sure if my blood got into the potion."

"Oh, I thought it was a big deal." Sirius was feeling better now. "We're not missing any limbs, fingers or toes."

Ender and James checked their body parts in accordance with his words. Everything was safe.

"Why aren't you steaming?" Lily pointed this out sharply, "It's not even a few hours now, it's only a few minutes!"

She almost screamed, "We need to find the adults as soon as possible!"

"But I really feel fine, even better than when I didn't have a cold. Maybe it didn't get inside, maybe the potion you made is too good." James ran around the living room twice, feeling refreshed and relaxed.

"No." Lily's attitude was very firm. She would not allow any risk to exist.

The few people who couldn't persuade Lily came to Potter Manor in a dusty state. They searched for a while before they found the adults.

After several people chattered and explained one thing after another, Anna and Lawrence finally figured out the cause, process and outcome of the incident.

"Don't worry, wizards' blood usually has no magic power, so there won't be any big problems." Anna comforted Lily. She knew how powerful this little witch was and what she was afraid of now. "But I still need to check you guys."

After that, she raised her wand and cast a few spells to show that everything was fine.

"Well, since you're all here, why don't you help us together?" Lawrence said with a smile, "It always makes a difference when you get involved yourself."

Xia was taken by Anna to treat her wound. Even if it healed quickly, it would be fine to use some distilled white essence.

"Baby, does it hurt when you bleed?"

"I don't feel anything, Mom." Xia felt the itch from her mother's gentle touch on the wound. "It doesn't hurt at all, it's just a small wound. The wounds Andre and I got when we fell when we were little were more painful than this."

Anna smiled, she stood up and looked at Xia: "Be careful next time, these fragments can easily scratch you. Also, spells can't be mastered in one go. Even the most powerful Aurors improve themselves through many practices."

"I know, Mom. I'll be more careful next time. Let's go get dinner ready, okay?"

Xia grabbed Anna's sleeve and looked up at her. Anna couldn't stand Xia's behavior the most. Her heart softened all of a sudden. No one could compare to her most lovely daughter.

She took Xia's hand and said, "Let's go."

At the same time, Lawrence came to Sirius silently, lowered his head and asked, "Sirius, is your cold better?"

Sirius was caught off guard by the voice beside him and almost dropped the thing in his hand. After seeing the other person clearly, he said, "Of course, Uncle Lawrence."

Lawrence nodded and said, "Ender and James are the ones who are running around like crazy every day. They are disobedient brats. Don't run around with them. Your cold will get worse."

Sirius didn't dare to refute anything. He symbolically agreed with Lawrence's words. The other party looked at him with satisfaction and left quietly.

"?" Sirius was just planning to chat for a while, but he didn't expect the other party to disappear in the blink of an eye.

"What did Dad say to you?" Ender had noticed the situation here a long time ago. Perhaps it was the ancestral skill of the Hopps family, Sirius was frightened again.

"......" He was silent for a while, "I say, are you walking without making any sound? Do you use floating?"

"No? You are too careless. As a qualified Auror, you must always be vigilant."

Ender raised his index finger and shook it at Sirius. Sirius would not tolerate him and kicked Ender hard. The latter covered his calf in pain and said, "Hey!"

"Sorry, I don't know how my leg touched you. Does it hurt? I thought Aurors were very strong."

"..." Ender looked at Sirius in shock. He really wanted to grab Sirius' shoulders and shake him hard. Is this still his good brother?

Sirius' innocent look completely left Ender speechless. "Ha."

Seeing Ender laughing out of anger, Sirius was satisfied. He shrugged and said, "Nothing. Uncle Lawrence said I'm much more obedient than you."

"Huh?" Ender couldn't believe it.

He - Sirius Black, an obedient, well-behaved, lovely little boy?

"Maybe I should ask Mom to check Dad carefully." Ender activated the skill of the Hopps family again and left in a daze.

James and Lily heard about this from Ander, and both of them looked strange: Seriously? Sirius Black?

Sirius saw three distorted faces. He said unhappily, "I think Xia is right. This stereotype is wrong! Am I not obedient?"

Three heads shook in unison. Looking at their tacit movements, Sirius fell silent again.

There are many of you, and you are right.

After repeating it several times in his mind, he said calmly: "Okay."

"What are you doing? How can I help?" Xia, who arrived a step late, looked at the unusually silent friends and felt a little strange: "Why are you so quiet? Something is wrong. Sirius, are you thinking of some evil ideas? Add me in."

Ander and the others burst into laughter.

Sirius felt his temples throbbing. How should he refute?

In English, "you" and "you guys" are not differentiated, but please don't assume it's me so tacitly!!!

"Um..." Xia hesitated for a moment, "So can anyone tell me what this is about?"

"Let the obedient Sirius tell you."

Ender looked at Sirius with ill intention. Sirius, who had been so confident, suddenly felt embarrassed for some reason. After seeing Xia's curious eyes, he gave up and repeated what he had said to Ender.

"Like I said, the stereotype is wrong." Xia's serious expression gave Sirius a little confidence, but -

"It's okay to come once in a while."

She also laughed after she finished speaking, and the curved look on her face made Sirius sigh involuntarily, "Okay, whatever you say is what it is."

After that, the five of them burst into laughter again. The adults on the other side also smiled after hearing the children's laughter. "It feels a lot easier to be with young people. No wonder Dumbledore always said that he was happy to be with young wizards."
