The Chinese girl from Hufflepuff is both timid and brave

Sun Zhu adjusted the wide-brimmed hat on his head, smoothed his long hair that was scattered on his shoulders, and followed the waiter into the high-end coffee shop in front of him.

The waiter, dressed in a well-tailored uniform, was elegant and considerate. When he led her to the door of the reserved private room, he even opened the door for her and handed her a folded printed handkerchief with a light woody scent.

Sun Zhu stuffed the tip he had prepared in advance into the pocket of his uniform, smiled at him, and then walked into the private room which seemed to have a very wide view.

There was already a person sitting by the floor-to-ceiling window in the room. She had long, slightly curly golden hair draped over her shoulders and was wearing a slim-fitting sea-blue dress, which made her look tall and elegant.

This is... Fina, whom I haven't seen for almost a month.

Hearing the sound of the door opening, Fina turned to look at Sun Zhu who was rushing towards her, and patted her shoulder helplessly.

"You are dressed so ladylike, but you don't pretend to be nice."

"But I miss you, don't you miss me?" Sun Zhu blinked, took off her hat and hung it on the back of the chair. She was wearing a light yellow dress with lace trim today, which was pretty, but not very breathable. The hat she wore was the magic hat Luna gave her, and now it has become a wide-brimmed sun hat of the same color.

She wiped the sweat from her forehead with a handkerchief. Fina handed her a cup of iced coffee and said lightly, "Although we haven't seen each other for 28 days, I have seen your owl Jade no less than ten times during this period. Miss Sun, I miss you a little, but not much."

Sun Zhu took a sip of coffee without caring, then sat on the chair and laughed in an unladylike manner: "But you even remember how many sugar cubes I need to add to my vanilla latte!"

"I'm not the one who remembers this. I never add sugar to my coffee. Does coffee with sugar still have soul?" Fina rolled her eyes lightly and looked out the window again.

Sun Zhu also turned his head to look at the sparkling water outside and asked uncertainly: "The Thames? Is there a rowing competition going on here?"

"That's right! Students from Cambridge and Oxford universities come here every summer to compete. It's a long-standing tradition. I used to come here to watch when I was a kid." Karina, wearing a pink dress and with her long light-colored hair braided into loose pigtails, leaned half of her body in from the doorway. "This is a great viewing angle, but I think we can feel the atmosphere of the competition better if we go to the river which is closer!"

"Did you book this private room specially for us to watch the rowing competition?" Sun Zhu glanced at the Cambridge and Oxford students wearing dark blue and light blue competition uniforms in the waterway, and began to admire Karina.

"My mother has been doing hair care for the female owner of this cafe for many years, and we have a good relationship, so I have VIP treatment here." Karina jumped up and hugged Sun Zhu and Fina. "You didn't come at a good time. A few months ago, during the Easter holidays, the boys from the nearby Eton College had a similar competition, and it was no worse than these people."

"Eton College? Is it the private secondary school that only accepts aristocratic boys?" Sun Zhu was a little surprised. Seeing Fina looking at them blankly, she simply explained, "Well, for example, the current Crown Prince Charles went to school there, and his sons Prince William and Prince Harry will also attend Eton in the future."

"Oh, it sounds like a great aristocratic school among Muggles." Fina nodded and took a sip of her unsweetened black coffee.

"The point is not that Muggle nobles are handsome, but that most of them are handsome!" Karina held her face in her hands. "It's okay to just take a look, right?"

"Yes..." Sun Zhu didn't have the heart to tell her that it was actually difficult to see the appearance of the competing crew members from here, but watching their uniform, graceful and agile rowing movements was indeed a visual enjoyment.

"Let's go and take a closer look!" Karina tried to pull them to the crowded area on the river bank, but the strong sun outside made Sun Zhu hesitate.

"My dear Karina, you have to know that if it wasn't for the fact that we love you enough... it would be harder for us to leave our home on such a hot day and come to see you in this prosperous place where Muggles gather than for Professor Snape to deduct points from Slytherin." Sun Zhu leaned back in the recliner by the floor-to-ceiling window with her iced coffee, overlooking the Thames outside, and expressed to Karina her determination not to go out.

Fina nodded in agreement and joined her in appreciating the scenery.

"You are too lazy, huh." Karina said speechlessly: "Looks like I have to find a coolie to shade you from the sun."

"Come to think of it, Diggory did say he was coming, so where is he?" Fina calmly finished the coffee in the cup and glanced at Sun Zhu with some amusement.

"Well, Said said he has to accompany his mother to visit a friend, so he can't come today." Sun Zhu took a sip of latte and tried to emphasize: "Today, we are just a few good sisters hanging out, why mention other people."

"But I told Cedric the address here, and he didn't come?" Karina shook her head: "This is not like his style."

"He even told me how to order your favorite drink, coffee with sugar, tea with milk, but he didn't come?" Fina rolled her eyes. Ever since she knew Cedric's "open secret", Cedric had been much more relaxed than her, and seemed to be less worried than a bystander like her.

"It's true that he suddenly had something to do and the person he was going to visit was an elder. He didn't mean to delay everyone." Sun Zhu tried to explain, "Also, I learned my taste from Aunt Fiona, so it's normal for him to remember it."

"Oh... it's a pity that I have lived with my aunt for several years and I haven't remembered what she likes to drink. It seems a bit wrong." Fina nodded, as if she was convinced.

"Look over there, there are so many people, what are they doing?" Sun Zhu forced to change the subject. She pointed to a place by the river where a crowd was cheering and gathering, and looked a little curious.

People in other places were mostly watching the competition in the waterway, but the people there seemed to be attracted by other things, and some even tried to take pictures with their cameras.

"Let me see!" Karina took a closer look and then quickly exclaimed, "It's her! It's the princess!"

"...Who?" Sun Zhu looked in the direction Karina pointed. Not far from the river bank, a woman wearing a casual white shirt and black skirt with a red hat decorated with roses on the side was undoubtedly the focus of the crowd.

"I didn't expect the princess to come to watch the game." Karina was surprised but thought it was normal. "She always loves to play with everyone, queue up to go to Disneyland like ordinary people, or watch the game in the crowd like this."

"Hey? Zhu, where are you going?" Fina glanced at Sun Zhu who was putting on her hat and getting ready to go out, and saw her excitedly saying, "I think it's more exciting to watch the game up close."

"Great, Zhu, let's go together!" Karina ran out of the private room, only having time to tell Fina that they would be back soon.

Fina continued to look at the crowd over there in confusion. Now they were lined up in an orderly manner. The woman in the red hat smiled and nodded to them, then continued to watch the game intently, seeming to enjoy it all.

"The Muggle princess, seems to be a very popular person." Fina nodded, and soon saw Sun Zhu and Karina in the crowd trying to slowly approach her.

Half an hour later, the door of the private room was opened again. Fina looked at the door and then spread her hands and said, "You are late. I am the only one here now."

"I'm sorry. After the visit, I asked my mother to take me to the temporary office of the Ministry of Magic nearby. I will not be able to use magic after entering the place where Muggles live. But I don't really know the ways of Muggles, so it took some time."

He walked closer to the French window and looked down at the rowing team that had already marched far away. He asked in confusion, "Are the people down there watching the game?"

"Anyway, Zhu shouldn't be doing this."

"Oh?"

"You lost to..." Fina tapped her forehead and said thoughtfully, "An English rose."

"Rose?" Cedric looked down in confusion. At this time, the crowd had dispersed a lot as the fleet left, and the two figures, one yellow and one pink, seemed to have found an opportunity to get closer.

They spoke to the tall woman with some excitement, and she bent down slightly and shook hands with the two little girls with blushing faces in a friendly manner.

"Yes, the rose, the most dazzling one." Fina said with certainty: "I have been watching here for half an hour and found that everyone around her is as excited as the two of them. If it weren't for the fact that Her Royal Highness is a Muggle, I really suspect that she used a love potion on everyone."

"Love potions only lead to deception." Cedric shook his head, "And I'm sure they love each other from the bottom of their hearts."

“Can you feel their mood?”

"Of course." He smiled and looked at the joyful figure, "I can feel that she is very happy, so I am happy too."

Fina rolled her eyes again, but when she saw the two men scrambling with excitement, she couldn't help but let out a very unladylike smile.
