The Chinese girl from Hufflepuff is both timid and brave

Sun Zhu looked at the pumpkin pie on the plate, stirred the pumpkin juice in the cup, and looked up at the pumpkin lanterns hanging in the hall. Beside the lanterns, there were many fairies wearing devil costumes and pointed horns dancing.

The entire hall was shrouded in a hazy orange-yellow light. Students from the four colleges were sitting at the tables, and the teachers' seats were rarely filled - except for Professor Snape's seat.

Karina looked around uncomfortably. She lowered her voice and asked, "Why is no one touching the dishes when the meal is ready? What are we waiting for?"

Sun Zhu shook his head blankly, looking at the decoration full of Halloween atmosphere, his uneasiness gradually increased.

Today was not a weekend, but it was the first Halloween party she had encountered since coming to Hogwarts. The students were able to have a holiday and enjoy the dinner, but usually the meal would have already started at this time, but today the headmaster had not yet announced the start of the party.

Sun Zhu glanced at Dumbledore who was sitting in the middle of the teachers' seats, but he was just wiping his half-moon glasses with a smile on his face, and had no intention of announcing the start of the party.

"We are waiting for a key figure with a lot of fanfare." Senior Cecilia put the pumpkin lanterns near them in order one by one. Now only the class leaders were walking around the four long tables, while the other students were sitting obediently at their seats, patiently waiting for something.

Sun Zhu was a little puzzled. It was clear that all the key figures of Hogwarts were already waiting there, except for Snape who didn't come... They couldn't have waited so long just for Snape, right?

"System, do you know who will be coming later?"

"Host, I can analyze that it is a key person, but his existence is not enough to trigger the mission for you, so I have no way of knowing the specific situation for the time being."

"Well, I just want to say, whoever it is, can you please come quickly? There are hundreds of us waiting for him. I'm almost fainting from hunger." The elves' newly made Halloween special desserts looked very tempting. If she didn't drink her pumpkin juice, it would get cold!

Carina suddenly poked her hard. She subconsciously looked towards the door, only to see Snape walking in with a sullen face.

"Can we start eating?" Karina signaled with her eyes.

Sun Zhu frowned slightly and looked at the person who came in with Professor Snape.

He is tall, with light blond hair, a pale face, a pointed chin and cold grey eyes.

He walked past four long tables with his head slightly raised, scanning the students who were looking at him with his colorless eyes. Only when he saw a Slytherin student did he slightly raise his eyebrows, then flicked his sleeves and continued to stride towards the teachers' seats.

Sun Zhu pursed her lips tightly, a little surprised. If she guessed correctly, this person should be Lucius Malfoy.

Snape came near his seat but did not sit down. Instead, he turned around and nodded to him slightly, although Sun Zhu felt that Snape's face was terribly gloomy.

Lucius Malfoy seemed very satisfied with his attitude. He nodded slightly and turned his gaze to Dumbledore, who had a calm look.

"Mr. Malfoy." Dumbledore nodded slightly.

"Principal Dumbledore." He drew out his voice and glanced at the students not far away. "I'm afraid that only on a day of celebration like today can I take the time to come here and check on the students. As a member of the Hogwarts Board of Directors, I think I have the right to raise some questions about your recent behavior."

"Hogwarts also has a board of directors." Sun Zhu heard Karina muttering softly, "But what does this have to do with our dinner?"

"Malfoy is one of the twenty-eight pure-blood families and has a lot of rules. Maybe he doesn't like us eating while he is talking to the headmaster." Sun Zhu said casually.

"Mr. Malfoy, I'm sorry I don't understand what you mean." Dumbledore continued gently, "Everything is running well at Hogwarts. As a member of the board of directors, you should be able to see it clearly."

"You asked the students to learn those targeted magics to resist the dark magic... The You-Know-Who, aren't you spreading panic?" Lucius said sternly, "Everyone knows that the You-Know-Who won't come back. As the principal, you disrupted the teaching order and made the students learn things they shouldn't learn. The school board has the right to impeach you for your behavior."

"He won't come back. Do you really think so, Mr. Malfoy?" Dumbledore clasped a cup in his hands and looked straight at Lucius.

Lucius frowned, turned to look at Snape again, and sneered, "Obviously, you acted on your own and did not gain the support of all professors. Professor Snape, you said you do not agree with Dumbledore's approach, right?"

"As a professor, I can only obey the orders of the headmaster." Snape replied without any emotion.

Dumbledore smiled but said nothing.

"In other words, he forced you to change your teaching plan?" Lucius sneered. "It is obvious that Headmaster Dumbledore does not know how to respect teachers and students. You are trying to dictatorially and arbitrarily lead Hogwarts into a crooked path. As a member of the school board, I cannot sit idly by and watch!"

"Is it as exaggerated as he said?" Karina scratched her head. "Although the course is much more difficult, it is not to the point of being a crooked path."

"In fact, some students are dissatisfied because some of the content taught to them is not related to their upcoming exams." Fina suddenly said.

"Is that so...then you can't be so aggressive to the principal in public. Can't they negotiate in private?"

Sun Zhu continued to listen attentively to the noise over there. In fact, Lucius did not lower his voice at all. He chose to question Dumbledore in public at this time, probably with the intention of establishing his authority.

"I heard that the course also includes spreading the theory of equality between pure-bloods and half-bloods. With all due respect, you are trying to smuggle your own ideas into the curriculum." Lucius sounded extremely angry. "You want to use this method to subtly brainwash the students, instill wrong ideas in them, and make them gradually forget what is the most noble."

Sun Zhu sneered in his heart. His true intentions were finally exposed. He finally got to the point that he was most concerned about.

Dumbledore frowned. "Mr. Malfoy, please watch your words. Among my students there are purebloods, half-bloods and Muggles. In my eyes, there is really no difference between them."

Lucius snorted coldly, glanced at the teachers who were obviously dissatisfied with him, and pulled the corners of his mouth stiffly. He looked at Snape who was slightly bowing his head, and patted him on the shoulder: "You know what is right. Hogwarts is not hopeless."

Snape nodded slightly.

“The school board will take action against your wrongdoing.”

After saying this to Dumbledore, Lucius turned around and strode out of the hall. The restaurant was silent for a moment, and everyone looked at each other, obviously not understanding the situation.

"Please start your dinner, children." Dumbledore said calmly.

Soon there was a buzz of chatter in the restaurant.

"Humph, are all pure-blood families like this?" Duke on the other side couldn't help but curse: "What right does he have to accuse the principal like that!"

"I hope Headmaster Dumbledore is really being targeted by him." Carina pinched her fork worriedly.

"There are twelve people on the school board. He can't do everything." Cedric said calmly, "It may be a little troublesome, but I believe everything is under the principal's control."

Sun Zhu nodded slightly. She looked at Snape who had returned to his seat. She didn't know if it was her illusion, but she seemed to see Dumbledore nodded slightly at him.

Sirius, who had been silent before, cursed at Hagrid in a low voice: "Some pure-blood bastards never change."
