The Chinese girl from Hufflepuff is both timid and brave

"There is an old Chinese saying, 'If an enemy comes, we must stop him with our generals; if a flood comes, we must block it with earth.' So, I think you can relax a little. At least, there is no danger to your life in the Potions class..."

Sun Zhu glanced at Karina, who was unable to calm down, and tried to comfort her.

Although she repeats this at least twice a week.

"Zhu, you heard what Senior Sister Anna said the other day, right? I heard from Charlotte and the others that Professor Snape went berserk this week and is several times more difficult to deal with than usual! He usually scares me enough..." Karina looked frightened, as if she had been attacked by a vicious enemy. "I don't need to explain Gryffindor's miserable situation. Even Ravenclaw was deducted 20 points. You know, they are definitely the most serious and disciplined college, but they couldn't satisfy Professor Snape..."

Fina suddenly handed something to Karina: "Drink it."

Sun Zhu glanced at the small tube of liquid with a strange green glow, and he and Karina both showed a horrified expression: "What is this?"

"Poison." Fina said indifferently: "Drink it and it will be over. You don't have to be afraid of this and that anymore."

Sun Zhu laughed dryly: "Not really, not really..."

"Fina honey, are you going to do this to me..." Karina looked very sad. "I admit that this trick is very effective. Compared with Professor Snape, I am more afraid of your disgust."

Sun Zhu took the tube, put it close to his nose and sniffed it carefully, but unexpectedly smelled a mint scent.

"Actually this is..." She tried hard to recall the knowledge from Herbology and Potions classes.

"I remixed this improved concentration potion." Fina rolled her eyes. "Drink it, or you can forget about doing an experiment with me."

Karina drank it in one gulp without hesitation, showing the attitude of a hero who is about to cut off his own arm.

"Fina, you are really a genius in potions." Sun Zhu was very flattering, "Karina needs to have this before every potions class!"

"Actually, I'm using her as a guinea pig." Fina smiled, "Maybe there will be some bad effects."

"Okay, stop scaring her." Sun Zhu patted Karina's shoulder, "How do you feel?"

"It's delicious..." Karina blinked, "Any more?"

Sun Zhu looked at Fina speechlessly and decided to stay away from her.

Thanks to Tofina, Karina managed to get through the Potions class without any major incidents. At least she sat safely in her seat for the entire class and did not run away at the sound of Professor Snape's drawn-out questions.

Although Hufflepuff was deducted 20 points in one class, everyone was used to the deductions.

The Slytherins were not used to their headmaster's recent behavior and some even stuttered when they were called upon to answer questions.

"He's really not calm enough." Sun Zhu commented.

"Well, maybe Professor Snape has been helping us to develop our ability to withstand stress." Cedric nodded.

"It sounds like a well-intentioned effort." Sun Zhu sighed.

Snape's hook-like eyes suddenly turned towards them, and Sun Zhu immediately looked at him seriously and innocently, even holding a quill for taking notes in his hand, looking eager to learn.

Snape snorted, retracted his gaze, strode to the front of the classroom, and continued to whisper to them to memorize the potion formula.

Sun Zhu was flipping through the textbook absentmindedly. In fact, she vaguely knew the reason why Snape suddenly became depressed.

Although the letter she wrote did not contain any "assignment" for Snape, it caused Sirius to miss a week of classes.

Defense Against the Dark Arts might be the class that Snape wanted to teach the most, but if he had to replace Sirius, it would definitely not be a pleasant thing for him.

Snape could hold his nose and bear with Lupin, but as for Sirius... Sun Zhu suddenly admired Snape a little, at least he actually went to teach the students, didn't he?

After the last Potions class, this week is finally over.

In the morning's Herbology and Transfiguration classes, both professors assigned weekly papers, but fortunately, none of them were difficult.

While Sun Zhu was calculating his weekend schedule, he listened to the system report on the progress: "Sirius has successfully brought Regulus's body back to the Black mansion."

Sun Zhu's hands shook as he was cutting the steak, so he simply put the fork down.

"Sirius will bury him in the Black family cemetery, and Dumbledore will apply to the Ministry of Magic to posthumously award him the Order of Merlin." The system seemed to be sighing, "The Daily Prophet may report this news soon, but the specific reasons will not be stated. Only a few officials from the Ministry of Magic who participated will know the truth."

"They are very efficient." Sun Zhu didn't know what to say, "Have we solved another Horcrux?"

"There is no change in your main storyline progress." The system reminded: "The locket was handed over to Dumbledore by Sirius for safekeeping, but the soul fragment attached to it has not been destroyed."

"I don't have another dragon to help me." She touched the dark pattern on the bead, "But now that it's in Dumbledore's hands, he can always do it better than me."

"In fact, the house-elf Kreacher has tried many kinds of magic, but failed to destroy the locket." The system said: "What you know may be one of the few truly effective methods."

"Should I write to Dumbledore again to tell him the method? Now they don't have the basilisk venom, do they have to open the Chamber of Secrets in advance to kill the basilisk? The Fiery Flame Curse is an uncontrollable large-scale killing spell. I have no doubt that Dumbledore can master it, but I don't think this is his style..."

This is clearly a spell that Grindelwald, a gas stove enthusiast, would like. It feels a bit awkward to let the headmaster use it to destroy the Horcrux.

"Wait until they collect a few more Horcruxes. If they haven't solved it yet, I'll find a way to tell them..." She sighed, "The locket has a spell that can confuse people's minds. It will make the person who carries it lose control of his emotions and become irritable. Fortunately, it is with Dumbledore now. I hope he won't be too affected."

"Don't worry too much. Things are going smoothly. At least we won't have any resistance now."

"So, Xiao Tongzi, I've been thinking these days..." Sun Zhu took a piece of Yorkshire pudding and took a bite, "Is it possible that we can get rid of Voldemort before the savior enters the school? In this way, Harry doesn't have to worry about anything else and can just study hard. The people I want to save will naturally not be in danger..."

"It's a good idea, host. I think we can try it." The system said, "We already know ourselves and the enemy, so it won't be difficult to achieve a quick victory."

"What's more, we have a bunch of people here, while Voldemort only has some Death Eaters who are not up to the standard. We have the right time, right place and right people." Sun Zhu's mood suddenly improved, and he took another piece of syrup pie. "It's settled. He'd better not come back without a nose. If he returns to Hogwarts, he will be defeated. If it's not his turn to see Harry, I can send him directly to see Merlin. All Harry's work will be my responsibility!"

"Host, you seem to have become much more confident." The system said with relief: "This is really a good thing."

"Oh, is it so?"

She took another bite of the pie and suddenly heard Karina yell, "What's the point of adding alcohol to the pudding today?"

Sun Zhu looked at the pudding she had taken a bite of, and remembered the fermented glutinous rice recipe she had given to the elf Meng Qi in the kitchen. She learned it from a Chinese cookbook.

She winked at Karina and said, "It's a very advanced approach."
