The Chinese girl from Hufflepuff is both timid and brave

"Jianguo, don't you feel that this holiday has passed too quickly?" Sun Zhu sat in the carriage on the way back to school, resting his chin on his hand, looking out the window at the students and parents coming and going, and chatting with Uncle Long.

Dad just rushed her here and then rushed back to the Ministry of Magic not long ago. This year the Ministry of Magic might be much busier than before.

"I don't think you had a lot of fun during this holiday. You were busy all the time." Uncle Long didn't feel the melancholy in her words at all. "Besides, you go to school, but I don't. For me, every day is a holiday."

"You're so good, Jianguo. It's hard for us to continue chatting like this!" Sun Zhu rolled his eyes at the air. "After all, it's because happiness seems short-lived."

"Didn't you say you missed your teachers and classmates?" Uncle Long said disdainfully, "Humans are indeed fickle."

"I really miss them, and this has nothing to do with my not wanting to go to school." Sun Zhu emphasized, "And my dad said that this year's new Defense Against the Dark Arts professor is not a friendly person. He and Lucius Malfoy are in the same boat!"

"Humans are really strange." Uncle Long seemed very surprised. "Is he so poor that he can't even afford to buy pants and has to wear the same pair as everyone else?"

"...Forget it, forget it. I'll tell you something you can understand." Sun Zhu looked through the car window and suddenly saw Fina saying goodbye to a tall middle-aged woman, and waved at her.

Fina and the middle-aged woman looked over at the same time. They looked very similar, from their hair color to their eye color. The difference was that the middle-aged woman looked much more serious and indifferent, and her eyes were full of scrutiny when she looked at Sun Zhu.

Sun Zhu retracted his hand, and seeing Fina's helpless and apologetic look, he simply continued the previous topic with Uncle Long.

"Do you still remember my Defense Against the Dark Arts professor last year, Sirius? He actually joined the same department as my father! I knew he was going to work in the Ministry of Magic, but I didn't know why he came to a place like the Sports Department."

"That dog... the man who will turn into a big black dog, the one who has always been by the side of the Chosen One?" Uncle Long snorted, "Is he a very important person? I'm not interested."

"Of course he is an important person to Harry." Sun Zhu nodded with satisfaction. It was really not easy for Uncle Long to give up the title of "dog demon" that he had insisted on for a long time.

"That Chosen One..." Grandpa Long continued to mutter, "Humph, I really don't see any difference between him and your other classmates. You look more special than him."

Sun Zhu waved his hand modestly: "He is the chosen son of heaven, and I am the chosen daughter of heaven. Don't step on one and praise the other."

"..."

"Jianguo, you appear to be dismissive of Harry, but you actually care about him quite a bit. So what's the use of your dragon scale?" Sun Zhu remembered that on Harry's birthday this year, when she was at a loss for a gift, Uncle Long actually threw a piece of golden scale to her.

"The scales I shed during the six months I was recuperating in the Xumi Pearl are a treasure to mortals." Grandpa Long said calmly, "Since that kid is so important, give this to him, so that he won't die if he's not careful."

So Sun Zhu sent the shiny scale to Harry as a present for his tenth birthday.

"I guess, in fact, its function is similar to that of a high-level amulet. Speaking of Jianguo... you rested for half a year, is this the only scale you lost?" Sun Zhu smiled and said, "Anything else? We are all family, don't be so formal."

"Don't give me that." Uncle Long snorted coldly, returned to the bead and ignored Sun Zhu's call.

"Hey, Xiao Tongzi, you see, Jianguo doesn't like to nag as much after he came back from recuperation. Is this normal?" Sun Zhu sighed, "He used to be happy to chat with me."

"Host, I didn't detect anything abnormal with him. Maybe he's just in a bad mood." The system said, "He has experienced more things and has become more stable. This may not be a bad thing."

"Oh..." Why does the word "steady" sound a bit strange when used to describe Uncle Long?

Suddenly, there was a burst of playful noise in the corridor outside the carriage. Without even looking, one could guess that the twins had boarded the train. Sun Zhu looked out the window and saw Molly, not far away, saying goodbye to Ginny, Percy, and Charlie.

The door of the carriage was pushed open, and Fina came in, handed her a bag of multi-flavored beans and said, "Apology, that was my aunt just now, she is always like this."

"It's okay. You're too polite." Sun Zhu took it without hesitation, carefully picked it up, and picked out a light yellow bean. "I guess it tastes like lemon."

Fina raised her eyebrows and watched Sun Zhu put the beans into his mouth, and then saw her eyebrows instantly wrinkled.

"How about it?"

"Cough...soap, it tastes like soap..." Sun Zhu tried to spit it out, but the beans slid down her esophagus into her stomach like soap grains.

"...Are you okay?" Fina handed over a glass of water.

Sun Zhuzhi waved his hand: "I don't want to drink any more water. I'm afraid that bubbles will come out of my throat after I drink it."

"Oh my!" The door of the carriage that was not closed tightly was opened again. Karina poked her head in, glanced at the two of them, nodded as if relieved, and said, "It's right now, Zhu, it's you, right?"

"What else?" Sun Zhu blinked: "What's wrong with you?"

"How embarrassing!" Carina scratched her hair and slammed the door shut. "I just lost face in front of the freshmen! Fortunately, I wasn't wearing my school uniform, so I managed to save some face for Hufflepuff."

Fina looked at Karina with interest and said, "Tell me about it."

"Just now, I saw a girl walking in front of me. She had long black hair and was chatting and laughing with a group of freshmen. Without thinking much, I rushed up to her, patted her shoulder and said hello..."

Sun Zhu covered her eyes. For some reason, she had a bad guess...

"You mistook it for a bamboo?" Fina seemed unable to hold back her laughter. "You thought it was a bamboo just because you saw its black hair?"

"Oh... yes, she was scared by me, but you really can't blame me for making a mistake. She is an Asian girl like Zhu, and she looks even more alike from the back. Although they look different, their temperament, yes, the temperament... is very similar." Karina tried to explain, but saw Sun Zhu put down his hands that were covering his eyes, as if thinking about something.

"Uh... Of course I still think you're the prettiest!" Karina emphasized, "Oh, I must have been a little sleepy. Mom woke me up before dawn and spent a long time packing my things, so I recognized the wrong person!"

"Oh, that's nothing." Sun Zhu couldn't help but smile: "But seriously, Karina, since she's a freshman, do you think she won't recognize you in the future if you're not wearing the school uniform?"

"Damn it." Karina covered her face and said in a muffled voice, "It's all Cedric's fault. He was right next to me, but he didn't even remind me! Humph, he must not have recognized me!"

"I feel wronged when you say that." Cedric's voice suddenly came from the door.

"Didn't I close the door?" Karina glared at him.

"It's just opening a door. It's not that difficult." Cedric shook his head. "I have to explain. Just now you rushed towards others like a bludger. I didn't have time to stop you... everything happened."

"...I don't believe it. It's not as exaggerated as you say."

"Oh, since the other party doesn't mind it, Karina, don't worry about it." Sun Zhu comforted her, "It's not a big deal."

"I lost face in front of Angelina and the Weasley twins, as well as a bunch of freshmen. Luckily, that junior girl was considerate, gentle and generous... She didn't mind that I almost scared her to the point of falling."

"Ahem..." Cedric touched his nose helplessly, "In fact, the back view of that school girl is also very different from Zhu's. Their walking postures are different, and their hair lengths are also different. Moreover, Zhu has been accustomed to tying up her long hair recently."

Sun Zhu subconsciously touched her high ponytail and heard a burst of laughter coming from the door.

"As expected of Mr. Diggory, whom my mother always praises, he can even observe these things." The girl in a blue dress leaned in from the entrance of the carriage and smiled at everyone.

Cedric sighed and said, "I forgot to introduce it. This is..."

"It's you?" Sun Zhu looked at the girl in blue with some surprise and quickly recognized her.

The girl walked into the carriage and sat next to Karina. She nodded to Sun Zhu and said, "You still remember me. It's been a long time."

"yes……"

"I heard what you said just now. Actually, I came here with Senior Diggory. Well, my mother was worried that I would get lost on the train, so she had to trouble the reliable neighbor to take me with me. Sigh..." The girl sighed and saw Karina looking at her with a puzzled expression. She seemed to remember that she had not introduced herself yet. "Hello, I'm Catherine Fawcett, a freshman this year."

"Long time no see, Catherine." Sun Zhu still remembered the Christmas almost two years ago when she and her father spent an unforgettable holiday in the village of Ottery St. Catchpole with four wizarding families there.

Catherine waved her hand and smiled, "Actually, I also think it's a little hard to tell Senior Qiu and Senior Zhu apart. But after listening to Senior Diggory's words just now, I think I won't make a mistake next time."

Sun Zhu nodded and said, "Of course, after all, we are two different people."
