The Chinese girl from Hufflepuff is both timid and brave

"Host, according to my detection, there should have been a small explosion caused by an experimental accident, but because the distance was too close, it caused a large area of ​​burns. Under normal circumstances, the most vital parts would be injured, but because the protective amulet you sent out blocked some of the damage for Mrs. Lovegood, so..." The system paused, and then said: "Only the arms and shoulders have severe burns."

“Just?” Sun Zhu held his forehead with his hand: “You told me at the beginning that the intermediate protective amulet is more than enough to resist experimental accidents, but now it seems that it is not the case…”

She had originally planned to ask Luna out to play during the summer vacation, but Luna said in a letter that her mother fainted after not eating for three days due to an experiment and was now recuperating at St. Mungo's.

Sun Zhu was shocked and reminded by the letter that he remembered the plot in the original novel: Luna's mother died in an experimental accident when she was nine years old.

After consulting with Xiao Tongzi, she exchanged for an intermediate defense charm, stuffed it into a fabric brooch, and asked Owl Jade to deliver it to the Lovegood family.

In the letter, she told Luna that this was a "lucky brooch" she bought at a Muggle market, which was said to bring success to the experiment, and she told her to remember to let her mother wear it.

Although Sun Zhu knew that Mrs. Lovegood might not really believe her, considering that it was a gift from her daughter's friend, she still listened to Luna and fastened it to the pocket of her lab coat.

"Host, no matter what, at least her life was saved." The system analyzed: "In fact, this may be the best result. If your talisman leaves Mrs. Lovegood unharmed, she will definitely conduct the next experiment. If something unexpected happens again... your kindness may not guarantee that she will not be in trouble in the future."

"Zhu, are you okay?" Cedric handed her a glass of honey water. Seeing that she had not said a word since she read the Daily Prophet in her hand, he looked at her with some worry.

Sun Zhu took the water, shook his head and said, "I'm fine, I'm just thinking about something."

"If you're worried about your friend, you can write to her." Cedric glanced at Professor McGonagall, who was putting the Sorting Hat on a stool, and whispered, "After the Sorting Ceremony, the Opening Dinner will begin. After that, you'll have time to do your own thing."

"I understand. Don't worry." Sun Zhu took a sip of the honey water and found that it was just the right temperature and even had a hint of osmanthus fragrance.

"My mother's friend sent her a lot of dried osmanthus flowers. It is said that it is very popular in China to use osmanthus flowers to prepare various foods, so she tried many new cooking methods." Cedric explained: "She also said that she wanted to give the recipes to the house elves."

"Aunt Fiona's cooking skills are indeed extraordinary. I'm sure the elves will enjoy trying new recipes."

"So, are you feeling better now?"

"Of course." She nodded, and then suddenly thought of something and took out the multi-flavored beans from her pocket. "It's a gift in return. Oh, although this is a gift from Fina, do you want to try it?"

Cedric took out a multi-flavored bean from the bag hesitantly, and seemed to be a little confused: "Well, I wonder how my luck will be today..."

"The Sorting Hat's song this year is not as bad as I thought." Duke, who was sitting across the table, suddenly said, "Hey, Ced, what's with that expression on your face?"

"Ahem..." Cedric waved his hand, "I ate a mustard-flavored bean."

Sun Zhu held back his smile and handed over a glass of honey water: "Sure enough, your luck is not much better than mine."

"The sorting has begun!" Karina didn't notice the movements of the people around her at all. "How many Hufflepuffs will there be this year? Hey, this is my first time to be a senior..."

Sun Zhu also turned his head to look in the hall. At this time, a brown-haired boy was sitting on a stool with his eyes closed, with a tattered hat on his head. Soon, the Sorting Hat shouted, "Gryffindor!"

There was a burst of cheers at Dean Lion's table.

"The first freshman this year went to Gryffindor... It doesn't matter, the second one will definitely be Hufflepuff!" Carina continued to stare.

"Why does she want more Hufflepuff students so much?" Fina asked Sun Zhu with some confusion.

"I don't know either...Karina's desire to win is always used in strange places." Sun Zhu shook his head.

"The result of the sorting is Slytherin!"

"Then Ravenclaw would be the place for you to go!"

"Oh... Gryffindor, of course!"

Sun Zhu and Fina looked at each other. Karina glared at the Sorting Hat angrily, as if she wanted to stare a hole in it.

Does it make sense that none of the first five freshmen are from Hufflepuff?

"Ah, the next one is her!" Karina grabbed Sun Zhu's sleeve, "She's the school girl I mistook for someone else!"

Sun Zhu looked at the slender figure walking towards the Sorting Hat. She had long black hair, a pair of round, bright eyes, and a faint smile on her face. She looked gentle and beautiful.

That's Qiu Zhang.

"Yeah, she's pretty."

"Do you think she'll come to Hufflepuff?"

"Ah..." Sun Zhu was stuck for a moment, "Maybe?"

"Then you will go to Ravenclaw!" The Sorting Hat also gave the expected result.

Sun Zhu saw Qiu gently put the hat back to its place, then walked briskly towards Dean Ying's desk, where a burst of warm cheers broke out.

"Ah..." Karina sighed in disappointment, "Ravenclaw got the most beautiful new student this year."

"Shh." Fina motioned her to speak in a low voice. "If other freshmen hear you, you might be..."

Karina covered her mouth.

Sun Zhu laughed loudly, then lowered his voice and said, "I agree with what you said, she is indeed very beautiful."

While everyone was chatting and laughing, the Sorting Hat had already stayed on the head of a blond boy for more than a minute, but no one had heard the result of the sorting yet.

"It's normal. There are such needy families in the branch every year." Duke looked like a veteran.

"Then the best house for you is, of course, Hufflepuff!"

"Wow! Finally!" Karina clapped her hands excitedly, and many other little badgers around were also moved in, and the entire Hufflepuff table suddenly became lively.

The boy looked very reserved. Under the guidance of senior Brian, he sat in the corner and tried to act invisible quietly.

"I guess he's not used to it here yet. Maybe he's a little Muggle-born wizard." Carina speculated.

The sorting ceremony continued in an orderly manner. Surprisingly, the house with the most freshmen this year was Ravenclaw. Catherine Fawcett also entered Ravenclaw and became Qiu Zhang's roommate together with Marietta Edgecombe.

Dumbledore was still wearing his half-moon glasses. After his customary speech, he announced to everyone: "This year's Defense Against the Dark Arts class will be taught by Mr. Alexander Bulstrode."

Many people at Dean Badger's table turned their eyes to Fina. Fina shrugged, looked at the surprised people, and said calmly, "He is my relative, but I am not familiar with him."

Sun Zhu turned his gaze towards the teacher's seat. Sitting next to Professor Snape was a well-dressed man wearing gold-rimmed glasses and a faint smile on his face.

Just now she was thinking about Luna's mother and didn't pay much attention to that side. Now it seems that Fina's restlessness along the way might be related to this unfamiliar relative of hers?

"Wow, he looks really..." Karina whispered.

Sun Zhu pulled her sleeve, and she quickly shut her mouth and looked at Fina carefully.

"Please don't have any extra expectations of the Bulstrode family." Fina blinked, "Although he looks okay."
