Together [HP]

"Then," William and Ray stepped down from the chessboard, and the shattered pieces immediately returned to where they should be on the board. "Did you encounter any interesting things this semester? Apart from petrifying a few classmates."

"The only bad thing about this board," Ray said loudly, "is that I have to play every new game, and I really hope Yuna and Norm can fix that, and I'm sure there's a spell that can. "

"Be content, Ray. Come on, it's your turn." Arthur floated onto the chessboard and tapped the queen. "Show me some skills, but don't let me win too easily."

"Other than this," Jacqueline slowly opened his eyes, "there's nothing particularly interesting."

"Then tell me about it," William floated to her side, winking at her, "maybe I can give you some help."

"Serena, don't tease your niece!" Arthur shouted.

"Okay, okay." William shrugged helplessly, "Then, father, do you mind if I help my favorite niece with the skills of flying broomsticks? If someone knows that William Guerra Ham's niece can't even fly a broom so they're going to laugh their ass off."

"I don't think it's necessary, Uncle William." Jacquilin said, getting up quickly. "I think I should go and play with Nia while it's still early."

"Then you will definitely miss the banquet." William floated aside, winking at her. "You don't want to be locked up in the castle for the rest of the Christmas holiday."

"I definitely don't want to." Jacqueline pursed his lips.

"Then tell me about it," William whispered when the two of them entered the castle gate side by side, "that matter, maybe I'll tell you some little Slytherin secrets that you don't know. "

"Nothing really," said the two of them as they walked into the dining room, and Jacqueline sat on a chair by the round table, and Norm immediately brought over tea, "just a few students and a ghost, and Mrs. Norris It was petrified. A few words were written in blood on the wall: those who are enemies of the heir, worry." Jacquelin said, looking out of the window, "Look, there is really nothing interesting."

"If," William pursed his lips, "you think so."

They both fell silent for a while, when the bell in the hall struck twelve, heralding the imminent start of the Christmas luncheon.William and Jacqueline glanced at each other,

"I hope the atmosphere won't be so tense this time." William muttered in a low voice as he floated towards the banquet hall.

"Me too," Jacquiline replied softly.

"She's my daughter, James." When they entered the banquet hall, Una and James were already inside, standing in the corner, trying to keep their voices down.

"He's mine too," James growled, "if you'll remember."

"I'm not denying this fact." Yuna frowned, lowered her voice, and said displeasedly. "I just want her to be safe."

"For Merlin's sake," James snorted, "do you think I want to watch her..." James glanced around, and when he saw Jacqueline staring at them, Forced a smile, and then their conversation became inaudible.
