The Chinese girl from Hufflepuff is both timid and brave

Sirius raised an eyebrow slightly when he heard this, seeming surprised that she asked that.

Sun Zhu added: "I heard the discussion about the portrait, and there were also rumors among my classmates. Although I don't really believe it, it's not a good thing for such rumors to spread widely, so I hope you can come forward to clarify. Everyone trusts you."

Sirius laughed loudly and said: "Oh, Zhu, you are so interesting. People who believe my words are actually far less than you imagine."

He pointed at a few little snakes that kept rolling their eyes at him and said, "Do you believe that if I said Hogwarts was safe, they would move out overnight?"

"Forehead……"

It’s not that exaggerated... Besides, why do you look so proud?

"The point is, how can you be sure that those are rumors and not the truth?" He suddenly winked at her.

Sun Zhu widened his eyes slightly, and when he saw Sirius' handsome face full of teasing, he became even more unsure.

She shouldn't have asked him this question! If Sirius was reliable, Snape would have washed his hair!

"Don't look at me like that. Relax." He continued nonchalantly, "This matter has nothing to do with ordinary students. Little girl, you are just a first-year student. You should enjoy your youth."

He casually turned the prop doll into a bunch of red roses, handed it to her and said, "Don't be nervous, don't worry, Headmaster Dumbledore has his own ideas."

"Is Headmaster Dumbledore omniscient and omnipotent?" She stared at the petals and couldn't help but ask, "Even if he is, he shouldn't be held responsible for everything."

Sirius sighed when he heard this: "Yes, so I will try my best. Many of us think so. Zhu, I don't know why you are so sharp, but don't put too much pressure on yourself, okay?"

Sun Zhu was slightly distracted when he heard this, but he quickly reacted: "I... I'm just a little scared, so I came to ask you, professor. Uh, I'll just treat these as not true, maybe someone spread a prank. Even if something big really happened, it wouldn't happen so quickly, right?"

Sirius didn't comment, he just smiled at her.

Sun Zhu looked down at the rose in his hand again, took a deep breath and said, "Thank you for the flowers, Professor."

"You're welcome. I think there will be many young men willing to give you real red roses." That frivolous smile appeared on his face again.

Sun Zhu pursed his lips, turned around and left with the flowers.

Sirius was laughing heartily in the background.

Karina and Fina were shocked to see her coming back with flowers.

"Oh my God, Zhu, did someone just confess to you?" Karina's voice rose an octave.

Many little badgers around looked over, and even the little snake was a little curious.

"Misunderstood, take it if you like it." Sun Zhu stuffed the flower into Karina's hand, "This is the doll that was tortured many times by the black curse in our class just now, or rather, this is Professor Blake's textbook."

"Oh, Professor Black! This is a gift from Professor Black!" Karina continued to shout.

The little snakes withdrew their gazes in disgust, and Sun Zhu looked at Fina with a frown on his face.

"Are you okay?" Fina asked.

Sun Zhu shook his head, looking at the worry in Fina's eyes, and remembered Sirius's worried inquiry just now.

"Fina, what do you think of Professor Black? Um, I mean, I feel like you're a little..."

"Don't worry about me, I'm fine. It's all over." Fina also shook her head, "It's you, who looks restless. You are very worrying, you know?"

Sun Zhu hugged Fina and said gloomily, "I know... So, Fina, I may have to do something. Although I'm not sure if doing so will have any other impact, and whether I will regret doing so in the future..."

"Have you finally made up your mind?" Fina patted her shoulder. "Just do it if you've made up your mind. There's nothing to regret. If... humph, we're still here!"

"Ah?" Sun Zhu scratched his head in confusion and said quickly, "No, Fina, you can't interfere in this matter. It's too..."

Too dangerous.

They know nothing about the future and have no system help. How can they be a match for Voldemort and the Death Eaters?

"Oh, okay, you're right. Well, just remember that we're here when you need us." Fina agreed without much doubt.

"Hey, what are you talking about?" Karina came over and asked.

"We are discussing something very important." Fina smiled mysteriously.

"Um... it is indeed very important." Sun Zhu suddenly felt something was wrong, "Fina, do you know something?"

"I know everything. It's just you two. One of you is thick-skinned, and the other is very sensitive." Fina sighed calmly, "I have two daughters."

Sun Zhu and Karina looked at each other.

Despite being severely despised by Fina, Sun Zhu still continued with her plan.

Late at night, after curfew, she asked Uncle Long, who had been idle for many days, to prepare for bloodletting, and took him invisibly all the way to the Room of Requirement on the eighth floor of the main castle.

However, this time when she entered, what she saw was not a room full of crowns like last time, but a very old-looking house. Many ancient books that she could not understand were placed on some very old bookshelves.

"Ancient runes? Xiao Tongzi, can you help me translate this?" she asked without hope.

"Host, my language system is not equipped with this set of characters." The system said it was helpless.

"How could this be? Doesn't the Room of Requirement want me to take the crown?" She looked around at the house that was decorated with European medieval scenery and deeply suspected that she had come to the wrong place.

"I can feel that the thing you mentioned is still here." Uncle Long suddenly said, "It's just that it may not be what you imagined."

Sun Zhu fell into deep thought.

The diadem was not the first Horcrux Voldemort made. The first one should be his diary. Before making the diadem, he also made the Gaunt family's ancestral ring into a Horcrux. When it came to the relics of the four giants, his Horcrux making level must have been very high, so this diadem may have developed self-awareness and was evading her search.

The Room of Requirement has become something more like a book room. Being in it feels like you have accidentally entered Rowena Ravenclaw's study.

Sun Zhu looked over carefully again and again and found that there were only books and nothing but books here. There was no place for the crown at all.

"I have a feeling that the crown is hidden in these books. It has turned into the appearance of a book. Why don't I try them one by one?" She took a breath and made up her mind.

She spent 100 experience points to exchange for a high-level defense talisman from the system store, pulled the golden talisman paper out of the small red purse embroidered with golden bamboo, and wrapped it in her right palm.

"If I really succeed in finding that crown, the talisman paper will react." She glanced at the golden dragon wrapped around her wrist.

Uncle Long stared with his eyes as big as soybeans, somewhat unable to believe it.

"You can draw talismans? I thought you had never learned anything."

"Well, this is a family heirloom from my ancestors." She lied casually, "I don't have the confidence to touch dark magic items with my mortal body, so I put in some protection."

Sun Zhu carefully began to look through the books here, most of which were ancient books that she couldn't even understand by the cover.

She guessed that the professors at school, especially those who taught ancient runes and history of magic, would be very excited to see them, but unfortunately she had no idea who the books belonged to, nor did she know how to get them out.

After flipping through the first row of ancient books, nothing unusual happened to the talisman paper.

Just as Sun Zhu was about to continue, she suddenly felt a chill from behind her, and a startled female voice asked, "Who are you? Why are you here?"
