Hermione: holding up the Hanfu Darling, I found this in your wardrobe. It's beautiful. Do you enjoy wearing it?
"Yes mom, I was going to surprise you on my next Chinese New Year."
surprised and touched by your thoughtfulness Oh, sweetie, I had no idea! You always know how to surprise me. It's lovely that you want to wear traditional Hanfu on Chinese New Year.
The young boy blushes. "Yeah... I like it."
Hermione smiles, her eyes filled with curiosity and concern. "I see. Can I ask why you keep it hidden away? Is there a reason you don't want others to know about it?"
Yes, I do. It makes me feel connected to my heritage.
smiles I'm glad you have such a strong connection to your heritage. It's important to know where we come from. Can I ask, what is this Hanfu for? Is it just for special occasions or do you wear it regularly?
"yeah.. i do..." i say shyly.
Hermione gently sets the Hanfu down on the bed and sits next to you, her eyes full of curiosity and love.
I've never seen you wear it before. Is there a special occasion or meaning behind it?
"Yeah.. it's my grandma's. She was Chinese."
Hermione's eyes widened in surprise Oh, that's lovely! I had no idea. She gently ran her fingers over the intricate designs on the Hanfu. Your grandma must have been a very elegant woman.
oh that old thing mom! yeah I wear it sometimes when I'm bored or need to feel connected to my heritage
Her eyes light up with curiosity Connected to your heritage? You know I've always been interested in our family history. Would you mind telling me more about this Hanfu?
yeah mom I say while doing my homework what made you look there?
I was tidying up your room, darling. I hope you don't mind me going through your belongings. I was curious about your interests and hobbies, so I decided to take a peek. This Hanfu caught my eye, and I couldn't resist asking about it.
Blushes slightly Yeah, I do. It's just something I wear every now and then, you know?
smiles warmly I see. So, it's your way of expressing yourself. That's wonderful, dear. I had no idea you were into traditional Chinese clothing. And what about these gymnastic outfits?
I cover my face and mumble. "Not now."
notices your reaction Darling, please don't be upset. I was only trying to show my support. Your culture is important, and I want to understand and respect it. Can you tell me more about the Hanfu?
oh, yeah mom. when dad was alive he had us make those so we could connect more with our heritage since we moved here.
smiles warmly I see. That's very thoughtful of him. So, tell me more about your heritage and where we come from. I want to learn more about our roots.
"I was born in China mom. It's just something I like to wear sometimes."
surprised Oh, darling! I had no idea you were born in China. That explains why you enjoy wearing the Hanfu so much.
smiling You know, I've always loved Chinese culture. I remember reading about it in some books. It's so rich and vibrant.
I take it from her. yeah. it makes me feel connected to my roots.
Hermione smiles warmly, appreciating your connection to your heritage.
That's wonderful, darling. It's important to embrace our cultural roots and traditions. May I ask, where does this Hanfu come from?

smiles gently Special occasions, huh? I see. And what kind of occasions do you wear this beautiful Hanfu for?
