Anna and Lawrence stood up from the sofa and said to the little ones who came in: "Happy birthday, my dear babies!"

As soon as Xia and Ander guessed what their parents would say, they ran to them happily.

"Oh, Dad! Mom! I love you!"

Even though this sentence happens every day at home, the Hopps family is still not stingy in expressing their love for their family.

"Us, too," the Hopps responded.

Anna kissed Xia's forehead, and when it was Ander's turn, he grumbled in dissatisfaction that he was no longer a child and just wanted a hug like his father did.

At this time, Xia, who was in her father's arms, said, "Yeah, yeah, you still need a good morning kiss, big baby Ander?"

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone burst into laughter.

"Hey! Mom and Dad, where's my present?" Ender hurriedly changed the subject. He swore on Merlin's pants that if he didn't stop, he would be laughed at by the three boys behind him for the rest of his life!

Lawrence knew his son's thoughts very well. He ignored Ander's embarrassment and continued to ask, "Oh? A big boy who wants a gift?"

The atmosphere in the living room reached a climax again. James, who had long been accustomed to this, was not very surprised because his family was also like this.

But the two brothers of the Black family showed longing eyes after laughing. Such an atmosphere was really happy, and they were really envious.

And Ander and Xia had already run to the pile of gifts, happily sharing the gifts from the elders.

Their maternal grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. Priest, travel abroad all year round, and happened to be in China recently. They didn't come back this time because they found traces of the Yeti in Tibet. When their grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. Hopes, heard about it, they excitedly rushed there to look for the Yeti together.

Merlin, Xia couldn't believe it. Would there be snowmen in Tibet in August? However, Xia didn't know much about China in the context of the magical world, so he didn't dare to guarantee anything. He just felt sorry for the owl who worked so hard to deliver the letter.

Also, weren't my grandparents studying how to make a magic wand? Why were they interested in the snowman? Did they want to make the wand core out of the snowman's hair?

Forget it, these four old wizards always have their own ideas, but the gifts they give are always loved by Xia and Ander. And when they come back, they will bring a lot of small toys bought during the trip. If they don't always play tricks on her and Ander, Xia swears that she will love them more.

"Sirius, Regulus, here are gifts for you!"

Before he knew it, he had opened most of the presents, leaving only two star-wrapped boxes with Sirius and Regulus' names written on them in beautiful cursive script.

The smiles on the faces of the two little wizards, who were still immersed in the happy atmosphere, were replaced by surprise. They had never expected that they would have a share.

Anna smiled at the two boys. "Ander and Xia didn't tell you what you like, so Lawrence and I had to buy these two stargazing scopes. Your names are named after constellations, right?"

"Merlin! It's a stargazer! But I prefer my watch, the one that reminds me of the time. It helps me a lot!" James came close to Sirius and said excitedly.

Seeing that Sirius and Regulus were still standing there, Ander stuffed the gifts directly into their hands. Sirius looked up and saw Lawrence, who was looking at him encouragingly and asking him to open the gift.

"But...we...oh, Mrs. Hopps...Mr. Hopps..." Regulus stammered. He, who had always received a good etiquette education, rarely showed a bit of helplessness.

"Oh, don't be surprised. Mom and Dad will prepare gifts for each of our friends. The last one was James - he wears that watch every day now." Xia added, "Why don't you open it and take a look? I swear on Merlin's lace stockings, this is the best gift I have ever seen!"

"Don't forget your necklace made of blue stone! But I still think my watch is the best." James shouted. It was given to him by Mr. and Mrs. Hopes when he was five years old. It was protected by magic and it still looks like new.

"That's a sapphire made from raw blue stone by the fire of a fire dragon! But my Montrose Magpies badge is the best."

"Merlin..." Sirius and Regulus were still stunned, their expressions as if they had really seen Merlin.

After a few seconds, Sirius finally came back to his senses, "Thank you so much, Mr. and Mrs. Hopps. This is the best gift I have ever received."

Regulus agreed: "Really, it's the best gift I've ever received!"

Anna was amused by the two children's reactions. She had heard about Mrs. Black's style, but she didn't expect the two young masters of the Black family to be so surprised. Seeing this, she wanted to tease them and said in distress: "What if our gifts are not so popular in the future..."

Before she finished speaking, Regulus interrupted her hastily: "No, this is enough for me, Mrs. Hopps..."

Seeing that Regulus still had something to say, Ander rushed forward and hugged him and Sirius' necks, interrupting Sirius who was about to say something, "Okay, okay, mommy just wants to tease you. Let's go eat the cake. This is made by Xia and I. Try it, I guarantee it's delicious."

Regulus blushed at his hasty expression of love, and he secretly reminded himself not to do this again. After Sirius knew that this was just Mrs. Hopps's bad taste, he was glad in his heart that Ender interrupted him in time and didn't let him say it out loud, otherwise he would have blushed like Leir.

James took the cake that Lawrence had cut. He took a deep breath, covered his chest with one hand, and pretended to be about to die heroically. He said, "My good friends, please remember to send me to St. Mungo's in time."

"Don't worry about the others, James." Thea said viciously, "Merlin, he knows I only added one potion."

"Oh, is it the potion called 'Poison Only James'? Don't worry, I added a spoonful of it as well." Ander showed the same expression as Xia and spoke in a low voice.

James looked like he was about to vomit blood when he heard this. Sirius immediately put down the cake in his hand and went forward to support him. "James, my good brother, I will miss you."

"Really? I'm afraid there's no chance." Regulus looked at Sirius with a compassionate look. He concealed his merits and fame and said, "I also put a potion that only poisons Sirius."

Without Regulus to participate in their game, Sirius reacted a beat slowly, but he quickly switched to the same state as James. The two of them screamed and fell onto the sofa. After looking at each other, they could no longer hold back their laughter.
