The Chinese girl from Hufflepuff is both timid and brave

Sun Zhu hadn't experienced the feeling of sleeping until she woke up naturally for a long time. During the rare rest time on Wednesday afternoon, she slept until she was hungry and then struggled to get out of bed.

Fina was not there, and Karina was still lying in bed. She rubbed her hair, pulled Yuanbao, who was tap dancing on her bed, into her arms, tidied herself up briefly, and went to the common room.

At this time, the first class in the afternoon had ended, and except for the first and sixth grades, the other Badger College students had also returned one after another.

Anna was slumped on the sofa in the lounge, sighing. When she saw Sun Zhu coming with Yuanbao, she quickly took the fat cat away and started sucking it hard.

"It's so difficult for us, Zhu. You don't even know how we got through the Potions class this afternoon..." Anna recovered a little energy by petting the cat, then took the black tea that Cecilia poured for her and complained to everyone.

Sun Zhu went over the contents of his letter to Dumbledore in his mind again, making sure that there would not be anything in it that could offend Professor Snape, but he was still a little confused.

The door of the lounge opened again, and Cedric and James came back. Sun Zhu took a look at their Quidditch uniforms and was a little surprised.

Cedric explained: "Madam Hooch knew that we had no classes in the afternoon, so she said she would give us extra training..."

James glanced at him, with an indescribable resentment in his tone.

"Are you sure you didn't do something to make Madam Hooch feel the need to give you more practice... and then include me in the mix?"

The word "by the way" was emphasized, and Sun Zhu was a little surprised, so he asked casually, "What did he do?"

James lowered his head in embarrassment, but Cedric spread his hands innocently: "It's normal for substitute players to have extra training. How can you blame me?"

Sun Zhu thought it made sense and poured them two glasses of salty lemon water: "Drink some of this, it looks like you have sweated a lot."

Cedric smiled and took it unceremoniously. James thanked him awkwardly. Sun Zhu looked around and asked again, "Who saw Fina? Did she go to the dining room or the kitchen?"

James lowered his head and muttered, "Probably went to the library."

"How did you know?" Sun Zhu was a little surprised.

"Well, he originally said he wanted to ask Delphine about the content of the Potions class, but he was called away for extra training." Cedric explained for him.

"Oh..." Sun Zhu looked at Cedric, who looked normal, and then at James, who looked as pale as a pig's liver. He felt that he could not understand some men.

Anna was holding Yuanbao and smiling happily. She nudged Cecilia with her elbow and said, "Senior, the juniors nowadays are better than us back then... cough cough cough"

Cecilia smiled but said nothing.

"Senior, are you okay now?" Sun Zhu glanced at Anna who was choking on her tea. "Tell us what Professor Snape did this afternoon. He has a class on Friday and I'm unsure."

Cecilia nodded: "To be honest, me too."

Daisy, Charlotte and Duke, who were playing Gobstones not far away, also came over.

Anna clicked her tongue and said, "Only Professor Snape can make students of all grades take him so seriously."

“I still think we don’t need to take him too seriously.” Daisy crossed her arms and shook her head. “As long as we are not afraid of him, he can’t scare us.”

Charlotte shrank her neck. "The key is that he is a professor, and he is naturally superior to us. If those restless students in Slytherin come to cause trouble again, we don't have to be afraid, but Professor Snape is different..."

Duke curled his lips: "To be honest, I am also afraid of those Slytherin students..."

Daisy rolled her eyes speechlessly. "Why are you so scared? If you're really scared of the astronomy class tonight, hide behind us. I'll protect you."

Sun Zhu held his forehead and glanced at Anna who was overjoyed. Seeing that she looked relieved, he said, "Senior Cecilia, what did I say before? The freshmen of this class of Badger College have a bright future. They dare to fight back when someone bullies them."

Cecilia seemed to appreciate it, but she didn't forget to ask, "So what did Professor Snape do to you?"

"Actually, he didn't say anything about Potions class, he just doubled our workload and deducted three times the marks... The point is, I heard that he might have to temporarily substitute for the Defense Against the Dark Arts class next week, which is the scariest thing, okay!"

As soon as Anna finished speaking, the Badger Court lounge, which had been a bit noisy, suddenly became silent.

"This is not a good idea." Sun Zhu frowned and broke the strange silence. "How can Professor Snape handle two courses for the whole school by himself? I'm afraid he won't be able to handle it."

Cedric asked: "Bamboo, are you sure it's Professor Snape who can't bear it, not..."

"It's over. I have Potions and Defense Against the Dark Arts classes tomorrow morning. Aaaaah!" a third-year student not far away screamed.

Cedric looked at Sun Zhu and seemed to feel very sympathetic towards the man.

"That's right..." Sun Zhu glanced at the listless badgers and asked the system in his mind, "Xiao Tongzi, what is Sirius doing now? Why did he take a week off?"

"Host, you should be able to guess this." The system said, "Sirius went to number 12, Grimmauld Place, and successfully... ahem, successfully got Slytherin's locket from the house-elf Kreacher, but at the same time, he also heard a story."

Sun Zhu reacted, and a sentence flashed through his mind:

"To the Dark Lord,

When you read this letter, I will be dead, but what I want you to know is: I discovered your secret, I have taken the real Horcrux, and will destroy it as soon as possible.

I risk my own death so that you will meet your destined opponent as a mere mortal of flesh and blood."

Regulus Black, the boy who had been at the bottom of the lake with the Inferi for almost ten years, was the first Slytherin boy to discover the secret of Voldemort's Horcruxes and bravely confront Voldemort.

He was only 17 years old when he died.

She subconsciously looked at Cedric not far away, then quickly looked away.

Regulus' secret was not discovered until a long time later, and Sirius didn't know it until he died. In his eyes, his cowardly brother was also a hero.

This is also the reason why Sun Zhu wrote in the letter that he hoped Sirius would ask Kreacher in person.

She couldn't travel back in time to save people, but she had to at least make up for the regret between the brothers and let Regulus' heroic deeds be known to the magical world.

Just like he did for Sirius before.

Although she could only play an indirect role this time, she had done everything she could.

The rest, regarding how to bring back his brother's body and how to restore his reputation after death, was what Sirius and Dumbledore had to do.

Sun Zhu came back to his senses, glanced at Yuanbao who was sleeping soundly in Anna's arms, and suddenly stood up.

"Where are you going?" Cedric, who had just changed into a set of dry clothes, came out of the dormitory and called out to Sun Zhu who was walking out.

"Let's go have dinner. Aren't you hungry?" Sun Zhu looked around him. "Why are you alone?"

"James and I just went back and saw Delphine, and he..." Cedric shrugged, "So, do you want to go to the restaurant together?"

Sun Zhu nodded indifferently: "Let's go."
