HP: Hogwarts, but pro-generation
Chapter 5 Gathering
After two days of emergency training, Xia and Andre were finally able to make a normal cake without their mother's help. When the cake was formed, they both cheered loudly and discussed fiercely what flavor of cake they wanted.
Looking at the smiles of the two children, Lawrence couldn't help but raise the corners of his lips. He joked to his wife: "Don't worry about it now."
"Why should I worry about anything? You, as a good father, should be worried, right? Aren't you afraid that your beloved son and daughter will be sad?" Anna smiled and patted Lawrence's arm.
Lawrence couldn't convince his wife. As she said, she really didn't want to make the children sad, but Anna wasn't much better than him. He knew that his wife secretly made a cake in the middle of the night while everyone was asleep. But he didn't intend to tell her because he also had a backup plan behind his wife's back. But now it seems that the backup plan is useless.
Soon the time came to the next day. Looking at the decorated living room, Xia clapped her hands with satisfaction. She had already started all the things that were going to happen that day!
She looked around but didn't see Ander, thinking he had gone to Potter Manor to find James.
As for why she didn't go to pick up Sirius and Regulus, it was because Xia had already seen Sirius. He was standing outside the yard, smiling and waving at her. She heard Sirius teasing, "Aren't you going to invite me in?"
Xia ran to the gate. She looked at Sirius in surprise and said excitedly, "Sirius?! Great, you're the first one to come!"
After she finished speaking she noticed that there was a slightly shorter boy next to Sirius, she continued, "I'm glad you can come, Regulus. I'm Sylvia Hopps, you can call me Shia."
She didn't wonder why Xia knew her name. She thought Sirius must have told her in the letter. However, as a member of the Black family, she still had to follow the proper etiquette.
"Forgive me for asking my brother to write for me, but I am honored that you agreed to let me come. I am Regulus Black."
"Oh, come on, it's Ender and I's fault. We forgot to write another formal invitation letter."
Sirius kept his arms crossed over his chest. When the two started talking, he shifted his gaze to the ground and listened with his head tilted slightly. Seeing that the two had no intention of stopping, he couldn't help but ask, "I'm the first one? Why, are there many more people?"
Xia shook her head. "No, there are only me, Ender, James and you. This place is too far away from where other wizards live. Ender and I have no other friends of the same age except James."
Before Sirius could speak, Xia continued, "So, I'm really happy that you can celebrate your birthday with us."
Sirius smiled when he heard what Xia said: "It's an honor for me to be invited by both hosts of the banquet."
Sirius had thought there would be a lot of people, just like his and Rael's birthdays, which always turned into a pure-blood family social occasion. If it weren't for the invitation from Sia and Ander, and James kept asking him in his letters if he would come, he actually didn't want to come, he hated hypocritical socializing. But it was a good thing that Sia and Ander's birthdays were not like this.
Regulus nodded, agreeing with his brother. He just didn't expect that there would be only a few people. But the Hopps family and the Priest family are both pure-blood families. As long as they want, many people will be willing to come. But on second thought, the two families have been like this for so many years. If it weren't for Sirius this time, he actually wouldn't have had the opportunity to meet people from the two families.
Here, Xia was introducing the garden to Sirius and Regulus, such as this kind of flower was planted by her and her mother, Ender and James once competed to see who could climb higher on that tree, and the swing below was specially made for her by her father...
Just by listening, he knew that this was a place completely different from the Black family. Sirius couldn't help but be a little curious about what their parents were like.
Regulus on the side also showed an envious look. It turned out that other people’s parents would play with them?
Sirius did not miss the look in his brother's eyes. When he was little, he would pester him to tell stories, but in that environment, plus Walburga nagging him every day... He didn't want Leir to become one of those crazy people obsessed with pure blood, so it seemed that it was right to bring Leir out.
Forget it, the people I should be most grateful to are the Hopps family, who agreed to my hasty request. I hope Leier can change his mind.
Sirius' thoughts stopped here as he was attracted by a sound in the distance.
"Ah, it should be Ender and James. They seem to be running back from the hillside." Xia, who was more familiar with these two voices, stood on tiptoe and looked into the distance.
"Sirius, Xia~"
This is James.
"It seems there is another person. Is it Regulus?"
This is Ender.
Merlin, after hearing what they said, Xia really didn't want to admit that these two idiots were her good brothers.
"I really hope that if you spend more time with them, you won't use tildes like that when you speak," Xia said sincerely.
Sirius shrugged, he hadn't tried running like that before, but it looked good.
Regulus laughed, he had never met anyone who spoke like that before, it was quite novel.
"Do you want to try running down like this?" Xia noticed the eagerness in Sirius' eyes and asked.
Sirius nodded, "Grimmauld Place is full of Muggles, Walburga won't let me go out, and there's nowhere to play nearby."
"Oh, Walburga is my mother." Sirius added.
Although it was the first time they talked about the Black family face to face, Xia understood it immediately through the letters and previous memories.
"Then we can wait until the sun goes down to play! That would be so cool! But..."
"It's okay, Walburga knows we're here, don't worry." Sirius explained, as if he understood what Xia hadn't finished saying. Afraid that he didn't explain it clearly, he added: "I wanted to sneak out, but Kreacher found out, the house-elf. Walburga asked me where I was going, and I didn't intend to tell her, but she found out anyway." But it didn't matter, he brought Riel out as well.
"That's great! I was worried that we wouldn't be able to have fun! Maybe you can stay here for a while."
Thinking about what would happen if Walburga, the madman, didn't agree to Sirius coming, and Sirius angered her... Merlin hoped nothing would happen. But Sirius didn't talk about this, and she couldn't ask further. Regulus seemed to be completely distracted and didn't want to talk.
When Ender and James came over, they got to know Regulus and then walked into the living room.
