The Chinese girl from Hufflepuff is both timid and brave

At about six o'clock in the afternoon in early autumn, the sky above Hogwarts was already glowing with rosy clouds, and the clouds on the horizon were dyed a misty purple.

Sun Zhu craned his neck to look at the owls flying in the sky, wondering what he was thinking.

Sirius had been asked to leave by her a long time ago. Although his office was on the eighth floor of the tower, he must have other places to go in such a big Hogwarts.

Sun Zhu had been waiting here for nearly an hour. Originally, she wanted to go directly to find Fina, but after listening to Sirius' explanation of what happened that year, Sun Zhu suddenly felt that she should leave enough space for Fina.

Soon after Sirius left, the invisibility spell he cast lost its effect. Fortunately, there was Uncle Long who could help her remain invisible so as not to be discovered by the Gryffindors passing by.

"I don't understand why you have to stay here." Uncle Long couldn't help but asked, "Can standing here help your friend?"

"I'm just worried about her, and I'm waiting for her here." Sun Zhu rubbed his eyes, and said in a daze, "Jianguo, I think I'm also at fault."

"You did something wrong?" Grandpa Long's voice came like thunder. "If I remember correctly, you helped catch the murderer who killed her family, right? How could you do anything wrong?"

"I seem to have only focused on these 'protagonists', and I have never thought much about other people. The twelve Muggles were just mentioned briefly, and no one cared whose parents and children they were." Sun Zhu curled his lips in self-mockery, "Just like now I know that Fina's mother and grandmother are two of the twelve innocent people who died, but I still know nothing about the other ten people."

"You just advised that man, but you are even more depressed than him." Uncle Long reluctantly changed his address to Sirius, "With so many people, can you take care of them all?"

"I... was just thinking, I definitely don't want to become Fina. The people I care about must not leave me like this." Sun Zhu shook his head, "I want to stop Voldemort from starting a war. Likewise, I can't let any of those Death Eaters who are ready to make a move go."

"When did you become so determined? I'm so surprised." Uncle Long said slowly, "Then I'll wait and see."

"I will do my best to help you achieve your goal, host." The system followed.

Sun Zhu nodded and suddenly looked towards the entrance of the tower.

Fina walked out slowly with the book in her hands and her head down.

Sun Zhu stomped his numb feet on the spot, asked Uncle Long to cancel his invisibility, and walked forward gently.

"Fina?" Sun Zhu called softly.

Even so, she was still startled. When she looked up and saw that it was Sun Zhu, she slowly exhaled.

"Zhu..." Her voice was a little hoarse, "Why are you here?"

"You haven't come back, so I went to the library to look for you. A classmate saw you and said you were coming in this direction, so I came to see you..." Sun Zhu explained casually.

Fina nodded without thinking too much, but asked belatedly, "Is Quidditch over?"

Sun Zhu pointed to the sky and said, "Guess what time it is now?"

Fina stared blankly at Yun Duo for a while, then shook her head and said, "It's been so long."

"Let's go back." Sun Zhu held her arm and didn't ask why Fina came here. He just said, "Karina must have prepared a lot to say to you. After all, Hufflepuff won a big victory in the Quidditch match today, even though it was just a friendly match."

When Sun Zhu returned to the Hufflepuff common room, he was surprised to see a large group of people gathered there.

The seven regular members of the Hufflepuff Quidditch team plus Carina, Duke and Tonks were busy with something unknown.

The tables were filled with food and drinks, and there was even a golden snitch figurine, making it look like a Quidditch-themed party.

"Zhu, you're finally back! It's almost seven o'clock. If you don't come back I'll go out to look for you." Kalina rushed forward and hugged them both from behind, "Fina, where have you been today? I..."

"Hey, I'm so hungry. Have you prepared anything delicious?" Sun Zhu quickly interrupted Karina and winked at her. "Fina and I didn't eat anything tonight. Can we have a meal?"

She was afraid that Karina was heartless and would accidentally hurt Fina. Fortunately, Karina was easy to fool and with just a few words she diverted their attention to eating.

"We won the game today, so of course we have to celebrate. Let's go to the kitchen and ask the elves to make this. Everyone in Badger Court will get a share!"

"Zhu, have you been looking for me for a long time?" Fina suddenly whispered.

"No, Karina speaks in an exaggerated way, you know." Sun Zhu shook his head and whispered.

She pulled Fina to sit down, looked around, and saw Senior Tonks looking at them thoughtfully.

Today she had dark purple hair, which looked a little out of place under the orange light of the lounge.

"Senior, do you have something to tell us?" Sun Zhu asked first.

"No, I'm just a little worried about you." She smiled and pointed to the entrance: "If you don't come back, someone here will be restless."

Sun Zhu subconsciously looked in the direction of Tonks's finger, but saw nothing.

"Pfft." Anna couldn't help laughing. "You came back at an unfortunate time. We asked the two junior brothers to work as laborers in the kitchen. Of course, if I don't find something for them to do, I really don't know where they will go."

Cecilia shook her head and asked Sun Zhu, "Are you in any trouble? If there is anything, please tell me."

"No, senior sister, we just went out to relax." Sun Zhu answered for Fina, "We forgot the time and missed dinner."

Fina nodded.

"Well, if you say so." Cecilia poured them two glasses of pumpkin juice, "then enjoy your dinner."

Sun Zhu nodded obediently and drank a sip of the sweet pumpkin juice. Finally, someone came to the entrance of the lounge.

Cedric crawled in from the passage with difficulty, holding a large bag of unknown things. Before he had time to tidy up his clothes, the things in his hand were taken away by Anna.

"Great, are these fresh fruits?" Anna opened the bag and took a look. "The elves are always the most reliable when it comes to finding food."

"I think so. Some of it is still in James' hands. I'll come back and take a look..." Cedric answered while looking around the lounge. Seeing Sun Zhu sipping his soup, he forgot what he was going to say.

"I'm going to make some fruit salad. I hope my kitchen magic skills learned during the holiday haven't regressed..." Anna muttered to herself, glanced at the hesitant Cedric, and shook her head, "Young man..."

"Don't act so old," Cecilia gave her a reproachful look, "How old are you? If you want to, there's still time."

"Forget it," Anna shrugged. "I wouldn't consider falling in love with anyone unless they were as handsome as Mr. Lockhart. Hmm, I suddenly envy Zhu a little."
