The Chinese girl from Hufflepuff is both timid and brave

Meng Qi looked at the guest who was dining elegantly in front of her and respectfully placed a plate of fish sausages in front of her.

"Do you need something to drink? Milk... Oh, I forgot that you seem to be unable to drink milk. Would you like some honey water?" She wiped her hands on her pink pillowcase awkwardly and looked at the guest who was chewing fish sausage.

I don’t know if she can understand.

Meng Qi was lost in thought, and her companion was one step faster than her, bringing a cup of honey water and placing it on the dining table.

"Please enjoy your meal, distinguished guest." said the elf wearing a green cloth bag with no discernible pattern, his tone indescribably cheerful.

Meng Qi looked at the fruit plate, steaks, sausages, etc. on the dining table and asked uncertainly, "Do you need anything else? There is nothing here for you..."

"Bang!" The kitchen door suddenly opened.

A girl in a yellow and black school robe and with flowing black hair walked straight in.

Meng Qi's eyes lit up: "Miss Sun, you are here! Would you like to eat something? The kitchen has a lot of new desserts recently, and there is a bumper harvest of sweet chestnuts and sweet pomelo supplies. Would you like to try my latest research chestnut cake and pomelo tea?"

Sun Zhu glanced coldly at the shivering guy at the table, then said in a gentle tone like spring breeze: "Dear Meng Qi, you don't have to be too busy for me. I'm just here to take away a certain ignorant guy. I hope she hasn't caused you too much trouble."

Sun Yuanbao, curled up into a ball, tried to jump off the stool and escape, but at this time the kitchen door opened again.

Another student wearing a yellow and black school robe and black hair walked in. His clear gray eyes were full of worry, but after seeing the scene in the kitchen, they turned into some doubts.

"Mr. Diggory! You're here too. Do you need anything to eat?" Meng Qi knew that the students who came to the kitchen were generally students in yellow and black school robes. Most of them were very polite, but there were not many students like Miss Sun and Mr. Diggory who respected and cared for them from the bottom of their hearts.

Meng Qi liked them and was willing to treat them with the delicious food she cooked. When she met guests that made her happy, she wanted to empty the kitchen and stuff all the food into their school robe pockets.

Of course, there were many elves who were more excited than her. The cyan bag elf had already started putting its jam tarts on the dining table, and Cedric waved his hand to stop them.

"Mengqi and Phil, don't be in a hurry. I'm not here to eat." He glanced at Sun Zhu, who was pointing at the cat and preparing to teach her a lesson, and blinked gently.

"Why are you here?" Sun Zhu sighed.

"Delphina told me that you were in a bad mood, so I came to check on you. Zhu, what happened?" He glanced at Yuanbao, who was trying to pretend to be a plush toy and asked carefully, "Is it because of your cat?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Yuanbao suddenly jumped up from his position and went straight into his arms.

Cedric hurriedly hugged the fat cat with his hands and took a half step back unexpectedly. Sun Zhu hurriedly pulled his sleeve to prevent him from being scared by Yuanbao and falling.

Cedric stared at Sun Yuanbao in his arms awkwardly. Yuanbao meowed innocently and buried his head pretending to be a doll.

Sun Zhu almost laughed out loud: "Student Sai De, feel her weight. Do you feel that this is an unbearable weight for life?"

"Hmm... seems a bit heavy?"

"Be more confident and remove the word 'seem'." Sun Zhu took the honey tea handed over by Meng Qi, thanked him, and continued: "Fina told you I was here? Humph, she and Kalina kept it a secret from me. I don't know when Kalina brought this pig to the kitchen, and she actually remembered the way to enter the kitchen. From then on, she sneaked in here every day when I went out to class to eat and drink! Fina had guessed why the pig was getting fatter and fatter, but she didn't tell me the reason."

Cedric wanted to laugh, but tried hard to hold it back: "It sounds..."

"That's too much, isn't it? If I hadn't noticed that she was getting fatter and fatter, I wouldn't have known that she had been sneaking in here for more than half a month!"

"It sounds like your cat is very smart. The pear was quite high from the ground. How did she manage to touch it?"

"She jumped up first, rubbed the pear with her tail, and when the pear became a door handle, she used her tail to hook the door open... She used all the agility of a catkin to do this!" Sun Zhu was furious, and when he saw Cedric's obviously curved mouth, he became even more angry: "You're still laughing! Did Fina send you to piss me off?"

What’s annoying is that Xiao Tongzi, who knew all this, didn’t even tell her in advance!

When asked why, the system replied, "You didn't ask me this question. Sun Yuanbao's behavior has no impact on your tasks, and it has not caused any harm to Hogwarts. Therefore, my alarm mechanism has not been triggered and I will not actively report the situation to you."

"Don't be angry, Zhu. I just think it's okay to let her eat something." Cedric hurriedly explained: "Eating and losing weight are not in conflict."

Sun Zhu looked at him suspiciously and pointed at the table: "Look, how much she enjoys herself. Can eating these help her lose weight?"

"Then help her change the menu. I know a recipe that my mother follows to stay in shape." He waved his hand, and Meng Qi, Phil, and a few elves that Sun Zhu was not familiar with all came over, nodding as they listened to him, and some even took out a piece of rag and wrote something on it.

Sun Yuanbao twisted her body uneasily. She couldn't understand the words of other humans except Sun Zhu, but she sensed that something was wrong.

Damn it, she thought Sun Zhu wouldn't do anything to Cedric, and Cedric was obviously easier to talk to than Sun Zhu, so she ran to him for shelter. Why did she feel that things were not developing the way she thought?

Cedric also didn't know what Fatty was thinking. After asking the elves for help, he smiled at Sun Zhu and said, "You can't keep an eye on her and prevent her from coming to the kitchen during class, so this is the only way. The elves will use their cooking skills to help your cat lose weight, so can you rest assured now?"

Sun Zhu was doubtful and said, "This is the only way for now..."

"Okay, we can go to the restaurant now. You came here without even having dinner. Everyone is worried about you." Cedric held the cat and prepared to leave. "Halloween is coming soon. The restaurant has been decorated by the elves. This is our first Halloween at Hogwarts..."

"Isn't there still half a month left?" Sun Zhu Wan refused the food handed over by Meng Qi. After saying goodbye to her, he slowly followed her. "It's only mid-October now. Is it so early to prepare?"

"There will be a Halloween dinner, and everyone is looking forward to it. Christmas will come soon after, and we can go home for two weeks. This is our first long vacation since we started school."

Halloween, the festival with the strongest presence in the original novel and the one most likely to cause stories—or accidents. Sun Zhu silently prayed to Merlin, hoping that they could have a normal day this year.

After all, Hogwarts had been peaceful for the month since Sirius returned. The professors' courses were still all kinds of defense, healing, and some offensive magic suitable for junior students to practice. So far, nothing unusual had happened.

Sun Zhu was no longer so nervous, and just continued to read her obscure and boring books. She also went to see their Quidditch training on weekends, followed Uncle Long's recovery, and wrote back to her father at least twice a week.

"Wait a minute, it's mid-October now?" Sun Zhu suddenly thought of something, paused, and scratched his hair in distress.

"Yes."

Sun Zhu looked at Cedric, who was walking steadily with the fat cat in his arms, and suddenly an idea came to his mind: "Student Cedric, do you like this cat? How about giving it to you as a gift?"

Cedric turned around in surprise and asked, "Why did you suddenly give me a cat?"

Yuanbao meowed, and it was unclear whether he was happy or dissatisfied.

"Your birthday is October 10st, right? I don't know what to give you, so I might as well give her to you." Sun Zhu waved his hand, "Just consider it as a painful parting."

"If your father heard these words, I wonder if he would want to come to school and do something to me..." Cedric thought.

"That's right." Sun Zhu sighed regretfully, "What can I do, Mr. Sai De, is there anything else you want?"

"I haven't thought about it yet, why don't I..."

"Wait a minute, didn't you say this last year?"

"Really? Then save it together with last year's."

"Are you sure you want to do this?" Sun Zhu was a little helpless. "How can you save up birthday gifts like this... If you continue like this, I don't think I will be able to pay it back."

"Then I won't return it." Cedric smiled and said, "Anyway, you know what I want most has never changed."

Sun Zhu snatched the gold ingot from his arms and said calmly, "I know nothing!"
