HP: Hogwarts, but pro-generation

Chapter 9 Quiet Evening

As the only young wizard present who had not received a notice, Regulus said that wizards' joys and sorrows were not the same, and he now just wanted to escape from this place where he was looking forward to the start of school.

"Dear Rael, it's your fault that you are a year behind us." Sirius saw the depressed and envious Regulus. He patted his brother's shoulder with a gloating look, and his smug feeling was beyond words. Regulus's resentment towards Sirius was about to materialize.

Shia found their interaction a little funny. She didn't expect them to be so interesting when they were little. Seeing that Regulus's fist could hit Sirius at any time, Shia took the initiative to suggest taking the two brothers to their room.

The room is on the left side of the stairs on the third floor. The walls of the corridor are covered with simple drawings drawn by children. If you look closely, you can see that some of the papers have "SH" and some have "AH" written on the lower left corner.

Hanging in the most conspicuous position is a portrait of four people.

The lady with long silver-white hair sitting on the chair looked forward gently. The black-haired man next to her didn't smile as clearly as she did, but it was not difficult to see his joy from his eyes. Two children of similar height stood behind. The boy had short black hair and light green eyes. The girl's hair just reached her shoulders, and was also a beautiful silver-white color. It was hard for people who saw her not to notice her eyes. If the boy's eyes were like the grassland in early spring, full of incomparable vitality, then the girl's eyes were as blue as the sky.

Of course, this portrait is not like a stick figure, the characters in it are always moving. The boy and the girl were playing and seeing Sirius looking at them, they immediately pointed at each other, their eyes full of "it's each other's fault". The adults sitting there waved to him as a greeting.

“This is the family photo we took this year.”

“We take new ones every year, and the previous ones are moved to the downstairs corridor.”

"If you have any problems, you can come to us. Ander's and my room are just across the street."

Xia pointed to the opposite side. One had a sign that said SH, and the other had AH.

"Next door to you is James."

Following Xia's hand, I saw a sign with JP written on it.

"This room is exclusively for him. He spends at least ten days a month at our house."

"You will be staying at my house for ten of the remaining twenty days." James put his arm around Ander's shoulders and said to Xia, "Your room is much better than mine and Ander's, no matter which one it is."

After saying goodnight, several people returned to their rooms. Lying on the bed, Xia felt like she had forgotten something. What was it?

She rolled over on the bed, thinking carefully: Sirius also came home, she also went to the new secret base, and she also received the letter from Hogwarts...

Thinking back to the moment when she closed the door, she also saw Sirius carefully put the stargazer given by his parents on the table. It was a very good gift. Xia had to admit that if she received it, she would also like it very much.

A gift...Merlin! She forgot to give it to Ender!

She jumped off the bed in a hurry and found the gift placed at the back of the closet. She was always worried that James or Ender would see it. Although the boys would knock on the door and ask before entering the room, what if they broke into the room through the window while riding a broom? Xia said that it was always right to be careful, and she would not be surprised by anything that happened to them!

She was about to go out with the model in her hand, but was hit as soon as she opened the door. Perhaps the person on the other side was too strong, and she fell to the ground with her butt. Fortunately, there was a thick carpet, otherwise she really felt that her tailbone would be broken.

"Uh, Xia?" The person who bumped into her asked in surprise, "You didn't sleep?"

"Andre, you haven't slept either, so don't talk about me."

After he really adapted to the dark environment, he saw that Xia was protecting something in her arms, and she fell directly to the ground because she couldn't free her hands to support herself.

He reached out and helped Xia up. "Oh, I forgot to give you a gift." He said uncomfortably, "This is from James and me. I wanted to secretly leave it at your door, but I didn't expect you were still awake. Sorry for knocking you down."

He reached out and handed Xia two exquisitely packaged boxes. "Open them and take a look. I have been choosing for a long time."

"We are really a pair of stupid siblings." Xia didn't reach out to take it, but laughed, "This is for you, I forgot about it. Sorry, Ender. But happy birthday!"

"Happy birthday!" The brother and sister smiled at each other after apologizing to each other.

After exchanging gifts, Ender said, "I'll go back first. James and the others are waiting for me."

"You'd better not sneak out to play. Mom and Dad will worry."

"Okay, okay. We won't go far."

Ignoring what Ander said which was obviously problematic, Xia closed the door and could now go to sleep.

But before she fell asleep, she felt as if there was some noise coming from the window.

What could it be? She walked over curiously and opened the curtains. Moonlight immediately poured in. The boy on the broom was just like when they first met. His hair was gently blown by the wind. One hand was holding the broom, and the other hand was on her window...

Against the moonlight, she couldn't quite see the boy's face. She only heard a clear young voice saying, "I just heard Ander say you're still awake. This is for you."

"It's a little late, but the day isn't over yet, is it?" He shook the gift he took out of his pocket and looked at the girl standing by the window. Her expression was a little surprised.

How could she not be surprised? Every time Sirius appeared, he could bring her a great shock. Should she say that he was indeed one of the most handsome guys in the original work?

Xia reached out and took it, but didn't open it directly.

Sirius said in a voice a little deeper than before, "I hope you enjoy it. I haven't said it yet, happy birthday."

"Thanks, I think I'd like that."

"But why are you outside?"

"Oh, James said he wanted to go on an adventure..."

"You are moved." Xia said affirmatively.

After receiving a somewhat guilty look from the opposite side, Xia opened the window a little wider and said, "Want to come in? It's still very windy outside."

Before I could say anything, I heard footsteps at Xia's door. "I'll go check it out. Whether you come in or not, remember to close my window."

Seeing Sirius nod, Xia turned around and went to open the door again - it was Regulus.

"Rael/Regulus?" Xia and Sirius asked at the same time. Neither of them expected to see him now.

After all, he looks like/is a good kid who goes to bed early and gets up early.

"This one's for you. Happy birthday, Sylvia."

Xia burst out laughing. Why did everyone forget this today?

Just as I was about to say thank you, I saw Regulus pointing out the window with a look of horror. Is there something strange? Isn't it Sirius outside the window?

Xia turned her head in confusion. Sirius had already entered the room at this time, and the broom was not in his hand, which was not strange.

Then all that’s left is…
