The Chinese girl from Hufflepuff is both timid and brave

"Just a little bit, just a little bit! Wuwuwu..."

"Don't be sad, Karina, we will definitely be able to do it next year." Sun Zhu looked up at the silver and green ribbons and the small flags with the Slytherin emblem floating above the lobby, and couldn't help but sigh.

Just now, the scores of the House Cup at the end of the first academic year were officially announced. Slytherin was awarded 150 points for winning this year's Quidditch Cup. In addition, the first place in each subject in each grade was mostly from Slytherin and Ravenclaw. All in all, Slytherin ranked first with 648 points and won this year's House Cup.

Hufflepuff came in second, although it was only 18 points ahead of Ravenclaw. The extra 18 points were due to the 100 points of "heroism" that they had gained before.

"We were actually quite far behind, by 60 points. But 588 is already a lot, right? Don't be so depressed. Look at Gryffindor... getting fourth place didn't affect their mood."

In fact, although most Gryffindors are not ashamed of being the last, since Slytherin is the first, some of them are not very interested.

"I've never seen a team play so dirty! They beat Gryffindor by doing this!" Carina took a bite of steak angrily, "They also injured several players. Senior Cecilia's arm is still a little weak."

"One of Gryffindor's Beaters is even worse... I don't know how they injured the players so badly. Madam Pomfrey said it can be cured, but it will take time. But this will completely delay their participation in the Quidditch game!" Duke also leaned over and pointed at the tall man at the Slytherin table with his fork. "That's their captain. It is said that the players are not allowed to go home during the Easter holiday. They are required to train more."

"That Snake Academy is really hard-working, no wonder they won..." Sun Zhu sighed, somewhat impressed.

"But they weren't practicing tactics, but thinking of ways to harm people. They specifically targeted the Seekers to bully them... Unfortunately, they couldn't beat Charlie Weasley, so they switched to other skinny players. Humph, in the end the total score was only 20 points higher than Gryffindor, and they were lucky to get 150 extra points. Otherwise, this year's House Cup would definitely be ours!"

"That's right! They only won the house cup with Professor Snape's extra points and their dishonorable winning methods!" Carina slammed the table and grabbed Sun Zhu's hand. "Zhu, let's sign up for the Quidditch house team when the new semester starts. I see that you have no problem controlling the broom now! Next year we will go to the competition and beat Slytherin to a pulp!"

"With your small bodies, you two will probably just be bullied." Fina shook her head.

"In fact, the Slytherin team is quite strong, and it doesn't all rely on dirty tricks..." Cedric added weakly, "Although they do like to pick on the smallest players. Zhu, have you decided to join?"

"I have not……"

"Of course! I've already made a deal with Zhu, right? We'll both be chasers next year, and Duke, are you planning on joining us?"

"I... think about it again, I feel this is still a bit dangerous." Duke said with a bitter face.

"What a coward." Karina pouted.

"It's really dangerous, so..." Cedric hesitated.

"Well, I'll give it a try. Senior Anna told me before that as a substitute in the first year, I won't play very often, but our school team has always been short of substitutes." Sun Zhu propped up his head and glanced at Sirius, who seemed to be in a low spirits in the teacher's seat. He was talking to Hagrid.

Carina also suddenly realized that this might be the last time they saw Sirius. After all, the curse of the mysterious man was still there, and the annual tradition of the professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts at Hogwarts would continue.

"Zhu, I really don't want to leave Professor Black..."

"There are many people who have the same idea as you."

According to the information collected by the system, after stepping down as the professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts, Sirius might take up a sinecure in the Ministry of Magic.

The next Defense Against the Dark Arts professor will come from a pure-blood family. Unlike Sirius, who is a "pure-blood outlier", he will be a true aristocrat who supports "pure-blood supremacy".

However, it would be better not to tell Karina and the others the news in advance. At least let her have a relatively normal summer vacation. It won’t be too late to be sad after the second grade starts.

The progress of the main task issued by the system to Sun Zhu was still 5%, and she only had 490 experience points left, which made her panic.

"What can I do with this little experience, Xiao Tongzi? Just because I didn't do the work myself, does that mean I don't get any credit? Do you have to be so heartless..."

"Host, please do not panic. In fact, the criteria for judging the progress of the main storyline are not set by me. But according to my analysis, at least part of it is determined by the progress of the destruction of Voldemort's Horcruxes. You officially started this task after destroying the crown. When the other Horcruxes are destroyed, there will naturally be new progress."

"It's not easy to destroy a Horcrux. Mr. Long gave a drop of blood last time and rested for six months. He has only been back for more than two months and is not as talkative as before... The locket that has been taken back is kept by Dumbledore. He has not destroyed it yet. The notebook and the golden cup are also on their way back. But I always feel that other Horcruxes will definitely not be as easy to deal with as the diadem, especially the cunning diary."

"Host, don't worry. Things will be done one by one..." The system comforted him caringly.

"..."Sun Zhu was speechless.

In the summer of 1990, the year before the Savior entered Hogwarts, I hope the story can be as peaceful as the original.

"Zhu, Fina, are you guys coming to my house to play during the summer vacation?" Karina seemed to have quickly forgotten the unhappiness just now and invited excitedly: "When I went home for the Easter holiday, I talked to my mother about you and she was very curious. Although she is a Muggle and doesn't understand many things, she will definitely be very happy to meet you."

"Okay, I'll visit if I have the chance." Sun Zhu was also looking forward to it. She had indeed rarely visited ordinary people's homes.

"I'll try my best. After all, I'm not sure about the mental condition of some people in the Bulstrode family. In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, I can't make a 100% guarantee." Fina looked a little sorry: "But if there is a chance, I will come."

"It's a deal! I believe in you!" Karina clapped her hands excitedly, and turned her head to see several inexplicable gazes staring at her.

"James and Cedric, what are you looking at?"

"Nothing..." James lowered his head in embarrassment.

"Oh, I'm just a little curious. I hope I didn't disturb you." Cedric cut a piece of steak elegantly and calmly, not looking embarrassed at all for being caught.

"That's not the case." Karina waved her hand generously: "If you are curious, you can come over and play. My parents welcome all my friends to visit."

"Will it be too disturbing?" He looked a little conflicted.

"Of course not, right?" Karina turned to ask them.

"Haha." Fina just smiled and said nothing.

"Ah... this, maybe..." Sun Zhu quietly rolled his eyes at him, "The owner has no objection, so why should I have any objection?"
