HP: Hogwarts, but pro-generation

After leaving the lounge, Xia walked around the castle for a long time. The portraits watched her run from the seventh floor to the fifth floor, then back to the seventh floor, then to the fourth floor, and then to the sixth floor...

The castle was a bit deserted today, with few students outside. It could be said that they only saw Xia.

"Little wizard, where are you going?" The knight in the painting couldn't help but ask. He really couldn't bear to see this student running around in the castle for at least an hour and still couldn't find his place.

"Oh, Merlin."

As soon as Xia turned around, she saw the knight who was speaking standing at the front, holding a beautiful long sword in his hand. Behind him stood a lot of people looking around curiously - let's say so.

A brown-haired lady pushed past the knight and said with some concern: "My dear child, are you lost?"

Xia thought that aside from the disgruntled knights and those weirdos, the painting was still pretty nice.

"I think so, ma'am," she heard herself say.

"Oh, where are you going? Maybe we can help you."

This is an enthusiastic lady. It can be seen that she is very familiar with the castle, which may be related to the fact that she has stayed here for many years.

"Thank you!" Xia was wondering how to get there, but unexpectedly she met the kind portraits. "I want to go to an empty classroom next to a portrait on the fifth floor."

"Fifth floor? There are indeed many empty classrooms there." The knight returned to where he had just stood. He rubbed his shoulder which was a little sore from bumping into other people. "But I don't remember any empty classrooms with portraits next to them."

"Is that so?"

Seeing the little girl who immediately became depressed, the knight felt a little sorry, and he immediately said: "But you can go and have a look, maybe I forgot."

"Great!"

"But why are you alone? If you always get lost, it's better to be with your companions." The kind lady spoke again. She didn't see any other students in her sight and couldn't even hear any sound. "What's wrong with you today? Why is there no one here?"

"They all went to watch the Quidditch match today," Xia explained.

"Okay." The lady obviously had something else to say, but the knight shook his head at her, so she had to swallow her words back. "If you want to get to the fifth floor, go over there."

She pointed to the staircase that had just turned around. "Go down from here and turn left to see some empty classrooms. Go ahead, kid."

After saying that, she became a little worried again, "Next time, you should go out with a companion. It's dangerous to walk alone if you get lost easily."

Xia thanked him not only for showing her the way but also for his concern for her.

Just as she was about to leave, the knight spoke up again, "Hey, you're a Gryffindor? Wow, that's cool."

"Yes, Knight." Xia was a little confused. She had been wearing the hospital robes all the time, so why did the other party see it now? However, she still stopped and answered the other party's question.

"Which two houses are playing today? I'm guessing Gryffindor isn't involved?"

"Correct answer, but no reward."

Xia no longer had any hope. The other party was obviously trying to find a topic to prevent her from going to the fifth floor. Although she didn't know why he did this, she still obeyed him.

As for the reason, it may be intuition.

Seeing that Xia was ready to answer all his questions, the knight looked at Xia with satisfaction, "Would you like to chat with us? You know, no one has talked to us for a long time. It would be boring to stay with these people every day."

It was then that Xia noticed that there were only four people left in the originally crowded frame, if the unicorn was not counted.

"Of course, if that's what you want."

"An answer I like."

"Thank you."

Xia has said thank you too many times today, but this time there is not much sincerity in it. "Today is the match between Ravenclaw and Slytherin."

She just remembered that she had forgotten to answer the knight's question just now, and quickly added a sentence.

"It is said that this match will be very exciting. Ravenclaw and Slytherin are equally strong and are competing for a place in the finals."

"Oh~ It's Slytherin." After hearing this, the knight bumped the shoulder of a quiet person standing next to him.

Xia didn't miss this action, "Why, are you curious too?"

"Yes, and—" The knight quietly walked forward again. He waved his hand to signal Xia to come closer. After Xia took a step closer to the frame as he requested, he covered his mouth to conceal it and whispered, "He was a Slytherin before, you know."

The knight's winking expression made Xia laugh, and she imitated him to show that she understood.

The person being choreographed just pushed the knight, and there were no more unnecessary actions.

The knight was caught off guard and pushed again, almost losing his balance. He waved his fist at the man, then turned around and stared at Xia for a while.

"Your hair and eyes remind me of someone very familiar. Perhaps you are a descendant of Priest?"

Xia opened her eyes slightly, unable to conceal the shock in her eyes.

According to what her parents taught her before, she shouldn't tell strangers a lot about family matters. She should always be vigilant, right?

But this is just a portrait. What can a portrait do?

"Ah, do you know Priest? My mother is from Priest's family."

"I see." The knight scratched his chin, as if thinking about something. Before Xia could continue to ask, the quiet man finally said his first words, "Gordie."

The knight stopped thinking, he understood what the other party meant.

"Well, it's been a pleasure talking to you," he said. "I won't bother you with your search for Dollylo's portrait. Do you remember the way?"

After getting Xia's affirmative nod, he, the kind lady and the quiet man walked deeper into the painting.

It was then that Xia saw a lady sitting under a tree not far away. It must be because the knight had been blocking her view that Xia had not been able to see her.

She waved at the lady, and then heard her say, "Ravenclaw will definitely win."

Xia was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "You must have been Ravenclaw before?"

The other party didn't say anything else. She smiled back and followed her companions.

After these four people disappeared, Xia also planned to go find the empty classroom she had been looking for.

But she saw someone, "Is it you?"
