HP: Hogwarts, but pro-generation

Regulus didn't want to talk more. He asked coldly, "Why are you asking this?"

James pushed Regulus back down and said, "It's related to Xia. Tell us quickly. It's very important."

James Potter seldom looked so serious, and Regulus stopped asking questions when he saw this. He said that he would not hide anything as long as he knew.

After an unknown amount of time, the noisy Gryffindor stopped their questioning. Regulus shook his dizzy head and asked with his rare clarity: "How did you get in touch with Xia? What happened to her?"

Christian came closer upon hearing this, and now no one cared about him as a lingerer.

Ander, who was standing opposite Regulus, hesitated for a long time but finally told him everything. As he spoke more, the expressions of Regulus and Christian became more solemn.

"Have you ever thought about their purpose?"

The voice did not come from any of the Gryffindors or Regulus. Lily looked at Christian thoughtfully, and James felt his mind was opened up a little, and he was almost about to grasp the problem that was bothering him.

A few seconds passed and no one spoke. Regulus closed his eyes and sighed, "We don't know whether this action was done by the will of the Death Eater or the mysterious man. To understand why Xia was taken away, the most important thing is to find out what's special about her. We are not sure if there will be a next time."

"Yes, that's it." James clapped his hands and said loudly.

Sirius, who was closest to him, was frightened by the sudden shout and took a step back. He bumped into James and said, "What's right?"

"I've always felt like something was missing, just like Regulus said!"

Ignoring James's background noise, Ender cleared his mind and said, "Okay, that's it. There's nothing left to say or ask."

He pursed his lips and added solemnly: "Thank you."

The direction was addressed to the two Slytherins, but they all knew that Ender was thanking everyone who cared about Shia.

"That's nothing." James looked at Ander with a little dissatisfaction, "We are friends, that's nothing."

James said two things at once, which made Ander laugh: Yes, Xia is his sister, but she is also their friend. He is not the only one who cares and worries about her. He should believe in Xia's personality and their friendship.

Others also wanted to say, what the hell.

They exchanged information with each other like an underground organization and then left.

Ender wanted to go see Xia again. James and the others understood Ender's feelings and did not follow him this time. James even kindly provided him with an invisibility cloak.

On the way back to the Gryffindor common room, Lily met Severus who was waiting for her. Only then did Lily realize that she had forgotten something.

"Oh, sorry, Sev." Lily's voice was full of apology, "Something went wrong today, I..."

"What's the situation? Is it related to you?" Severus couldn't help but feel a little anxious. Lily was not the kind of person who would break a promise. What could have happened that could make her forget the appointment?

"not me."

Severus breathed a sigh of relief, at least it wasn't her.

"It's Shia."

Severus's sigh of relief was lifted again, and he asked uncertainly: "What happened to her?"

Lily wanted to find someone to talk to about the Death Eaters, the You-Know-Who, the discrimination against pure-bloods, and Xia...

She thought about it for a long time before finally speaking out. Severus understood Lily's distress, but he didn't know how to say it.

He didn't know what was going on inside Gryffindor and didn't want to know. He had thought that Lily coming to Slytherin was the best choice, but now it seemed that was not entirely true. As a pure-blood, Xia would get into trouble, not to mention Lily.

Originally, Lily just wanted to find someone to talk to, and she didn't really care about Severus' silence. On the contrary, Lily was very worried about Severus' life in Slytherin.

"Severus..." Lily called out to Severus.

Looking in the direction of the voice, Severus saw the worry in Lily's eyes and he knew what she was thinking.

But thinking of some arrogant Slytherin students, Severus couldn't say anything against his will, so he stammered and didn't say it out loud.

"You said that Quink followed Sylvia yesterday?" Severus decided to change the subject elsewhere. He recalled that Lily mentioned Quink.

Lily frowned in disgust, "Don't mention him. I'm about to throw up."

Severus ended the topic smoothly, and after saying goodbye to Lily, he walked down the stairs.

At this moment, the people at both ends of the stairs were thinking about the same question: how to teach Kunk a lesson?

Severus remembered that he had made the mute potion because he was annoyed by the noise made by those Gryffindors. This kind of thing should be tested by someone before it can be used on those people.

As for who to find for the test, didn’t it just happen that someone came across us?

Just as he was coming out, he heard someone say that Kunk was carried into the medical wing.

Then let's go check on Sylvia. I've said it before, she's still thinking about going out at night, let's see what happened.
