The Chinese girl from Hufflepuff is both timid and brave

When Sun Zhu returned to the dormitory, it was nearly half past eleven. She tiptoed into the room for fear of waking up her sleeping roommate, but was shocked to see that both of them had their eyes open and were not asleep at all.

"You guys? Are you waiting for me..." She looked at Karina, whose eyes were as big as copper bells, and Fina, who was obviously unable to hold on but was forced to stay awake, and felt a little confused.

"Zhu, this is terrible." Karina spoke first, "Something big is going to happen at Hogwarts!"

Sun Zhu was startled and subconsciously retorted: "What? How is that possible? Hogwarts is the safest place in the entire British wizarding world, even safer than Gringotts."

"Why don't you believe me?" Carina was a little anxious. "I heard it from the fat monk. He said we should be careful at night because something big will happen in Hogwarts. He is an honest ghost and he won't lie to us."

After saying that, she glanced at Fina and said, "You heard it too, right?"

Fina nodded. Although Sun Zhu didn't know if she was sleepy or not, he still listened to her words: "Although I heard it, I don't think we need to be so nervous. With the principal and professor here, nothing will happen."

"Zhu, you haven't come back so late, it's too dangerous." Karina said.

"So, you are waiting for me to come back?" Sun Zhu was a little touched. "I will be fine, and I am not alone. Don't wait for me so late next time."

"No, I'm just too excited to sleep because of Professor Blake's class tomorrow." Karina shook her head.

Sun Zhu's smile froze on his face in embarrassment.

Fina also smiled wryly and said, "Me too. When I think about the Defense Against the Dark Arts class tomorrow, I can't...sleep."

Sun Zhu sighed with a headache.

As expected, the second day of History of Magic was a time for everyone to catch up on their sleep.

Although Sun Zhu was sleepy and tired, there was always a voice in her heart telling her: "Something big is about to happen!"

"Host, I didn't detect anything unusual." The system said, "The suspicion of abnormal fluctuations of black magic items can be preliminarily ruled out."

"Xiao Tongzi, this is a magical world after all, and everyone has their own expertise. You may not be able to take care of everything." Sun Zhu turned a page of the book listlessly. "To be honest, I thought about the plot all night yesterday. I couldn't think of any dangerous things that might happen in Hogwarts this year. But I have to pay more attention to the portraits and ghosts... Could it be that my intervention caused some plots to be advanced? What will happen this year? Will the basilisk in the chamber of secrets be released in advance, or..."

She turned her head and glanced at the little eagles who were taking notes seriously, and secretly clenched her fists: "I won't sleep tonight, I'll go kill that crown first!"

"Host, don't worry too much. Your health is important."

"The Room of Requirement should be idle at night, so it's just right for me to go there at that time." Sun Zhu had made up his mind. "There's no time to lose. What if something bad really happened?"

The next class was Transfiguration with Gryffindor, not a class where one could slack off, so Sun Zhu forced himself to concentrate.

"I asked a few Ravenclaws I know." Karina suddenly appeared beside her, "They said they had heard similar rumors!"

Sun Zhu couldn't help but frown: "How did this kind of thing get out? Why did everyone know about it? Where is the secret of the magic world?"

"I don't know, but I think there are always a few portraits in school who are not careful with their words..." Karina looked depressed, "But, Zhu, you know what? The Ravenclaws actually said that this is 'groundless', 'nonsense', and 'worrying about nothing', and told me to study hard and not take it seriously!"

Sun Zhu smiled awkwardly and said, "Okay, this is very Ravenclaw."

Sure enough, if there was a piece of unconfirmed gossip that was going to spread around Hogwarts, the first house to spread it to would be Hufflepuff.

Not only does every badger know about it, most of them believe it and then spread it throughout the school.

When the Gryffindors found out, they were more excited than worried. The Ravenclaws were just confused, and most of the Slytherins...didn't care at all, and thought that those who believed were fools.

"Actually, what I can't understand is why both the portrait and the ghost know such an important thing?" Sun Zhu shook his head.

"I heard that nothing that happened in Hogwarts could be hidden from them." Carina said, "It must be something really big that caused them to remind us to be careful in advance."

Sun Zhu walked into the Transfiguration classroom with heavy steps. Before she could sit down, she saw the twins excitedly surrounding her on both sides.

"Zhu, our night patrol duration has been increased to one month!"

...Are you sure you don't mean an extra month of confinement?

The twins are really optimists.

"By the way, have you heard anything like, uh, rumors that something big is going to happen in Hogwarts soon?"

"For us, every day is a big experience," Fred said proudly.

"We hear this kind of talk every day. I'm looking forward to seeing what will happen." George said, "The Fat Lady has been stressing this several times a day these days. She's not happy every time we go out at night. Fortunately, we're going to be detained! We have a legitimate reason!"

Sun Zhu looked at the twins' calm faces and became more and more certain that she might be the only one who took this matter seriously, along with perhaps a few Hufflepuffs.

In this Transfiguration class, Professor McGonagall only emphasized the theoretical basis a few times, and Sun Zhu didn't know if it was a psychological effect, but he always felt that Professor McGonagall looked worried.

She didn't really feel relieved until the get out of class was over.

Defense Against the Dark Arts in the afternoon was a class that most Badger students had been looking forward to for a long time. On the contrary, some Slytherins, although Sirius did not specifically deduct points from Slytherins, what happened last week had already let everyone know that he did not like this college.

"Let's continue with last week's lesson. Oh, I'm not talking about werewolves, of course, but some dark spells. In view of the recent turmoil, I'm happy to teach you some harmless self-defense tricks, such as this."

He pulled out his wand and transformed the textbook into a faceless puppet, then shouted at the puppet: "Bat-Bogey Hexes!"

The puppet's face is covered with huge bats.

Many badgers were frightened and cried out in surprise. The Slytherins felt a little offended. After all, some Gryffindors had always liked to insult their headmaster as "Old Bat" in private, and Sirius's action made them think more.

Sun Zhu didn't pay much attention to Sirius's childish behavior. She only paid attention to Fina, who looked normal, just like in any other class.

Sirius ignored everyone's discussions and used a puppet to demonstrate and teach several spells classified as evil curses, such as "Impedimenta" and "Relashio".

"I teach you these not because I hope you will use them to hurt others, but to teach you to fight back." Sirius spread his hands, "After all, except for the top curses and unforgivable curses, other spells are just used as tools to help wizards. Whether it is good or bad depends entirely on the intention of the user."

In just one class, he added seven or eight such spells and their counter-spells, which was full of useful information.

Although not many people could learn it all at once, most students were very excited.

When the class was over, many students were still reminiscing and cooperating with each other to try to attack and defend with spells and counter-spells, but this behavior was quickly stopped. Before they could skillfully control the spells, students were not allowed to use evil spells to attack their classmates.

Sun Zhu didn't bother to consolidate the spell, but walked straight to Sirius and asked, "Professor Black, are you teaching us all of a sudden because there is something dangerous going to happen in the future?"
