"Okay, Jerry, I'll ask you to take this letter to the Lovegood family for me." Sun Zhu touched Jerry's round head and watched him fly away.

"By the way, where's your Yuanbao?" Cedric suddenly asked, "I didn't see her on the train."

"My father couldn't bear to part with her and insisted that I had made her thin because of starvation." Sun Zhu spread his hands, "I am now a person without a cat."

"Oh..." He couldn't help but smile, "She must be reluctant to part with you, right?"

Sun Zhu stammered, "Ah, yes, of course, but I am a filial person, so..."

She glanced at someone who was laughing happily to herself, and suddenly realized something.

"So you're making fun of me?"

"I didn't. Well, let's go back to the lounge."

"...I won't argue with you about this. We still have to welcome new students today."

"Well, yes." He looked at her and suddenly said, "Zhu, do you still remember..."

"what?"

"Oh, nothing."

Sun Zhu looked at him strangely and stopped. There were only two of them on the path leading to the entrance of the Badger Courtyard Lounge. She suddenly seemed to realize something and asked him, "Do you think there are any special people among the freshmen this year?"

"Ah? Is it special?" He was stunned for a moment, then nodded: "Yes."

"Who?"

"There's a boy in Slytherin whose uncle doesn't have a good relationship with my father." He sighed distressedly, "I don't want to say bad things about people, but..."

"But what?" Sun Zhu pricked up his ears.

"But he's not the one you want to ask about, right? Let me think about who else." He frowned and meditated, then nodded after a moment, "I've thought of another person."

"Oh, who is it?"

"A tall girl from Gryffindor, she..." Cedric glanced at Sun Zhu who was looking at him with a dull face, and said slowly, "Her brother is a star player of the Yorkshire Quidditch team. I wonder if she will join the Gryffindor Quidditch team in the future."

"...You know a lot." Sun Zhu shook his head and continued to walk towards the wooden barrel. "I don't think so. There is no reason why the sister has to do the same thing as the brother did."

"You're right." Cedric quickly caught up with her, "There's also a girl from Ravenclaw, her mother works at the Ministry of Magic."

Sun Zhu was stunned, stopped knocking on the wooden barrel, and turned to look at him.

Cedric was startled and pulled her to the side, but he was still a few steps too late. A lot of sour vinegar gushed out of the barrel. Fortunately, Cedric blocked some of it for her, so that she was not drenched.

I was careless. Sun Zhu looked at the vinegar on his clothes and wanted to cry but had no tears.

Cedric wasn't much better, half of his body was wet as well.

He pulled out his wand and tried to use it to clean it up, but although the vinegar was removed, the sour smell was still there.

"Blame me." Sun Zhu felt a little embarrassed.

"No, I don't blame you. Maybe I shouldn't have mentioned...well, actually I wanted to say, Catherine Fawcett from Ravenclaw." He sighed.

Sun Zhu looked at him in confusion until a voice sounded in his ears.

"Zhu, Cedric, why are you two standing at the door and not going in?"

Sun Zhu turned around and saw seniors Cecilia and Brian, who looked surprised and were leading a group of ignorant little badgers, looking at them curiously.

"Ah, uh..." Sun Zhu covered one eye.

"I think I smell vinegar..." Senior Brian muttered.

Cecilia suddenly realized, and Cedric hurriedly said, "Uh, I accidentally knocked on the wrong barrel just now..."

"I understand. After all, I haven't been back for a few months. It's understandable that I forgot." Cecilia nodded, then turned to the badgers behind her and said, "So everyone has seen it. Remember the door-opening instructions I'll teach you later, otherwise you'll be like... ahem."

The little badgers nodded vigorously, and Sun Zhu wished there was a crack in the ground for him to crawl into.

Please, this is the first time in my life that I knocked on the wrong barrel and so many people saw it, and it was used as a negative example for the freshmen.

The semester hasn't even started yet and I've already lost face.

When he entered the lounge dazed, there were not many people inside. Sun Zhu realized that this place was reserved for freshmen tonight, so he planned to escape back to the dormitory quickly.

There are Herbology, Potions and Flying lessons tomorrow.

"Go back and pack your clothes. This vinegar was specially prepared by a former senior. If you don't use a special potion to wash it, the sour smell won't go away." Cecilia took out two small bottles of potion from a small cabinet in the lounge and stuffed them into their hands. "Follow the instructions on it, or you will go to class tomorrow morning smelling like vinegar."

"Okay, thank you, senior sister." Sun Zhu said in a low voice with a red face.

"I see. Let's go back first." Cedric nodded and thanked them, then smiled at the freshmen and took Sun Zhu's arm and walked towards the dormitory.

"Don't be embarrassed, you're not the only one who knocked on the wrong barrel."

"Then don't laugh so happily."

"Ahem, okay. Good night then, and see you tomorrow." He waved at her.

"Wait a moment." Sun Zhu took a deep breath and hesitated for a moment, but still said: "I remembered that I still have a question for you."

Cedric blinked and chuckled softly, "Well, but I guess you haven't figured out how to answer that yet, right?"

"I guess you're not ready to hear the answer?"

"Well, okay, I admit you guessed it right, half right." Cedric stretched out his hand and gestured in the air.

"Why is it half?" Sun Zhu was confused.

"Because I've actually guessed your answer." He said, "And I always have to give you time to do what you want to do. I don't want to be a burden to you. And if I can be of any help to you, remember to tell me."

Sun Zhu was stunned for a moment, then nodded, and then shook his head: "Do you know what I want to do?"

"You must be busy with something, but I can't guess. But I don't think you are busy saving the world." Cedric said, "You often look worried and frightened. You never hide your mood well. It's all written on your face."

"Really?" Sun Zhu touched his face subconsciously, "Except you, no one has ever said that to me."

"Then I am the most honored to be the first one." He laughed, "But even so, I believe you can solve whatever you want to solve."

"why?"

"Because in my heart, you are the most unique one. There is no difference between others in my eyes." He said firmly: "A Hufflepuff who knows what he is doing can accomplish anything."
