The Chinese girl from Hufflepuff is both timid and brave

"Zhu, why did you look at Professor Snape with that kind of eyes just now during class?" Karina put down the plate in her hand and glanced at Sun Zhu who was about to go to the lounge.

Sun Zhu was puzzled: "What's that look?"

"It's that kind of sticky and greasy... uh, I can't really tell." She scratched her head in confusion, "Didn't you notice that you were the only one who dared to look up at him in class just now!"

"No, I think Gryffindor students are very active." Sun Zhu shook his head, "I didn't do anything, I just haven't seen the teachers for a long time and I miss them a little bit."

In fact, based on the information provided by the system, she guessed that Snape was still trying to trick the diary from Lucius, so she was just trying to convey her support for Professor Snape's traitorous career through her eyes...

"Ah, Gryffindor, they are different from you... But fortunately they are here, Professor Snape didn't deduct points from Hufflepuff in this class."

"Let's say, thank you Gryffindor." Charlotte, who was passing by, high-fived Winnie next to her. "I was nervous and stirred the cauldron in the wrong direction. Unfortunately, Professor Snape saw me. I thought he would deduct points or at least ridicule me...but Fred next to me knocked over the crucible and successfully saved my life!"

"I was wondering why Gryffindor was deducted ten points right after the experiment began!" Karina suddenly realized.

"Well, this is really..." Sun Zhu sighed.

"I heard..." Fina smiled, "The fifth-year Gryffindor students also lost a lot of points in the first Defense Against the Dark Arts class this morning."

"That's too pitiful. Let's change the subject. We have flying class this afternoon, Zhu, you have to practice flying with me. Duke has given up and said he wants to be our cheerleader." Karina shook her head, "My dad bought me a six-star broom with the royalties from his comics, but it's a pity that I can't practice flying a broom in a place full of Muggles this summer."

"I have practiced, but not much. And simply flying a broom is not the same as competing. To be honest, I'm a little nervous."

"Don't be nervous, we are all your cheerleaders." Daisy patted Sun Zhu's shoulder, "By the way, are you ready with your broom?"

"Oh, my dad bought me a Nimbus 1999. It's said to have only been out for half a month, and it's designed to be lighter than the 1998." Sun Zhu stretched out his hand and shouted, "Come here with the broom."

A broom with simple and elegant shape and smooth lines appeared in her hand.

Karina exclaimed, "The latest... the newest model of Nimbus?! Oh my god, Bamboo, if I remember correctly, the one in Cedric's hand is only the 1998. In this case, we have two Nimbuses in our team!"

"Nil? Where? Where?" Duke struggled to squeeze his head into the circle of girls.

He quickly locked onto the broom in Sun Zhu's hand, and couldn't let it go. "Although the flying performance of the Nimbus 1999 is not better than that of the 1998, because the outer coating has added a color-changing and invisible function, it is five gold Galleons more expensive than the 1998! One broom costs 60 gold Galleons, which is equivalent to a month's salary for an ordinary Ministry of Magic employee. Sun, your father is so good to you."

James, who was not far away, also looked over and nodded, "Very good."

“Well, actually, this money…”

Sun Zhu glanced at the badgers who were talking around her broom, and helplessly said to Fina, the only one who remained calm, "Do you remember what I told you about the Tibetan snowman we encountered at the ski resort on Christmas?"

"Remember, was this broom given to you by someone over there?" Fina looked around. Everyone took turns to "admire" Sun Zhu's broom. Even a few freshmen who didn't know why joined the crowd to join in the fun.

"That's about right." Sun Zhu held his chin and looked at the branches hanging above his head. The plants in the lounge were still lush and green after several months of vacation.

In fact, even though Dad refused their thank-you money, they still sent the gold Galleons as bonuses through the British Ministry of Magic.

When Sun Zhengxing saw that his salary in a certain month was twice as much as usual, he ran to the minister's office to inquire in confusion, and only then did he learn the truth.

Although Uncle Alexei said in a later letter that they had applied for more than this amount of bonus for Dad...

"So, my father used the money to buy me a broom. He didn't want to spend the money anyway, he felt that the wages earned through his own labor were his own money." Sun Zhu spread his hands, "Actually, I don't think it's necessary to buy such a good one, after all, brooms are updated very quickly."

If I remember correctly, Harry's Nimbus 2000 will be launched soon. By then, it will be another round of technological innovation, and no matter how many gold Galleons you have, they will not be enough.

Moreover, there is the legendary Firebolt, the Rolls-Royce of brooms, which costs hundreds of Galleons each... Sun Zhu believes that Sirius will give the broom to Harry early this time.

The afternoon flying lesson began on the foggy Quidditch field.

Although the weather was not good, everyone was in high spirits. After all, for most of the second-year students, today was the day they could officially sign up for the college's Quidditch team.

There were four registration teams lined up in front of Madam Huo Qi, belonging to four colleges respectively.

There were ten Gryffindors in total. The twins were doing warm-up exercises in the team, and Angelina was chatting with the tall beauty Fanny.

There were slightly fewer Slytherins, but soon a few more people lined up, as if they wanted to compete with Gryffindor in this regard.

There were only Sun Zhu and Karina in the Hufflepuff team. Fortunately, there were Ravenclaws next to them, but there were also two men and two women in Ravenclaw.

"Zhu, don't we even have any competitors?"

"It seems so."

"Where are all the Hufflepuff boys?" Karina said in disappointment.

"Perhaps, they have already joined the team." Sun Zhu pointed at Cedric and James who were holding their brooms in one hand, "In fact, we are tied with Ravenclaw."

"That's right, it's good that we're not fourth." Karina was comforted instantly.

"Are you the only two in your college?" George waved at them from a distance. "Where's Duke? Doesn't he like Quidditch very much?"

Sun Zhu shrugged. "He knows a lot about broomsticks and the game, but he trembles when he flies."

"Well, good luck to you then."

Madam Hooch didn't seem surprised at the number of people queuing. Although Quidditch was the most popular sport in the wizarding world, not everyone had the confidence to join the game.

"Host." The system suddenly said, "You don't have to worry."

Sun Zhu asked blankly: "What am I worried about?"

"Although your academy has the fewest participants, it won't be difficult to help you win with me here."

“Huh???” Sun Zhu reacted quickly.

"What's wrong with you?" Karina was confused when she saw her face full of laughter and tears.

"If, I mean if, I have a way to make Hufflepuff win 100%, but it's not very legal, although I can guarantee that no one will find out... Do you think we should try this method?" Sun Zhu blinked at her.

"No." Karina reached out and pinched Sun Zhu's face. "Hufflepuffs can't do anything against the rules. Otherwise, what's the point of winning?"

"Xiao Tongzi, did you hear that?" Sun Zhu replied, "So, from now on, when I compete, you have to keep your voice down."

"Okay, host." The system responded readily: "As long as your life is not threatened, I will not interfere with your game."

"The most important thing is." Sun Zhu nodded to Cedric who was not far away, "We can still win without your 'help'."
