The Chinese girl from Hufflepuff is both timid and brave

Sun Zhu originally thought that she would have to wait at least three to five days for someone to show up. But after dinner, when she was about to go back to the dormitory to change into her uniform and go to practice as usual, she was stopped by an old acquaintance.

Percy Weasley had put on glasses at some point, which made him look even more like a top student. His tie and even the Gryffindor badge on his school robes were neatly arranged, just like him.

"I heard you were looking for a special notebook?" He nodded slightly at her, without further ado, and went straight to the point, "Is this it?"

Sun Zhu took the notebook he handed over, and just by looking at the cover she was sure that it was one of the remaining ones.

"Yeah...it looks the same, I'm just not sure if it's the one I lost."

"When did you lose it?" He adjusted his glasses that were about to fall down. Sun Zhu felt that the size seemed a little too big for him.

"I'm not sure, it seemed to be last night, or this morning, or maybe even earlier. I've been so busy lately that when I realized it was gone, I couldn't remember the last time I saw it."

Sun Zhu was talking nonsense, but in fact the two books were still safely in her Sniff backpack.

Percy frowned and said, "Maybe this isn't the book you're looking for, but it's not mine either. I saw it on the bookshelf in the common room three days ago. It was placed with my textbooks, and I thought it was something my mother prepared for me."

At this point, he seemed a little regretful: "Maybe I should check it. If I had noticed the name on the title page, I wouldn't have used it to take notes."

Sun Zhu casually flipped it open and saw that half of the notebook was filled with neat handwriting, which seemed to be ancient runes.

"Don't you need these anymore?" She was a little surprised. "Well, actually, I can't be sure that this is mine. Since you took notes, you should keep it."

“No need.” He frowned in disgust. “I don’t need it anymore. If you don’t need it, you can help me throw it away… In addition, I still want to remind you not to take notes with it. It’s a terrible notebook.”

"What do you mean?"

"It will tamper with the contents of the notes by itself!" Percy looked a little angry. "It is impossible for me to remember these basic knowledge wrongly. I was not completely sure at first, but when you said that it was a somewhat weird notebook, I knew that this was indeed not my problem."

Sun Zhu opened his mouth halfway, looked at Percy's back as he turned away, and flipped through the notebook in his hand, trying to understand what had been tampered with.

But the handwriting seemed neat and consistent, and with her current knowledge, she had no idea what the problem was.

However...if the abnormality of this notebook is that the contents written in it will be tampered with by it, then it will be different from hers.

The contents of the notebook that Peeves threw at her can only be seen by the writer.

It can be considered a competent diary.

Senior sister Tonks's book was very strange. The handwriting on the record would not disappear or change, but the page numbers would change randomly every day.

Sometimes what I wrote on the first page would end up at the end the next day. If Percy took this book to take notes, he would probably be even angrier.

"Host, you already have three diaries in your hand. Do you have any ideas?"

"To be honest, not at all." Sun Zhu shook his head. "I just think the principal is really playful. He made these weird notebooks just to add some obstacles to students' campus life? You know, only top students like Percy will take notes seriously. So only good students will be fooled by the notebooks."

"Perhaps Headmaster Dumbledore has other intentions. Perhaps you haven't got the really important book yet?"

"Why do I feel like he's just bored? Because I know he's an important person, so I put a lot of thought into his every move. But maybe, maybe he just... doesn't have any other intentions?"

"But it's one of the Horcruxes after all, and Dumbledore won't joke about Horcruxes."

"Yes, so... go ahead and see if anyone else will give me the book they have."

When Sun Zhu arrived at the Quidditch field, the other players had already arrived, except for Karina, who was still kept under observation by Madam Pomfrey.

"We don't have all the players today, so Captain Wood and I have discussed it. We should work together to practice against each other, so that we can understand our opponents. Anna, Zhu, James, you will cooperate with the Gryffindor players first. They will send out a chaser and a beater, five against five, for a warm-up."

"No need for a goalkeeper and a seeker?" Anna was a little surprised.

"Yes, just practice your pitching accuracy this time. Don't be too stressed. The official competition for this semester hasn't started yet."

"So, isn't Trok coming along?"

"I still can't do it. I'm afraid I'll hurt someone again." Trok had a sad face.

"It's inevitable that there will be bumps and bruises in a match. If you feel psychologically burdened by this, that would be a big problem." Captain Field patted him on the shoulder. "It's a good opportunity for us to see Gryffindor's style later. They are much more powerful than us. It's only been ten days since the start of school, and almost half of them have been to the infirmary."

Cecilia frowned: "Anna, you guys should be careful in the game later, and try not to get hurt."

When they arrived at the agreed place, the Gryffindors in scarlet uniforms were already waiting there.

Watching the back-and-forth battle on the court, Field stared at Wood speechlessly: "You actually let a bunch of substitutes compete against our main players. Do you look down on our strength, or are you deliberately hiding your weakness?"

"That's certainly not what I meant. Our main players are all injured to some extent, and these capable substitutes are the future of Gryffindor. Look at the Weasley brothers over there, they are as brave as their brother. Of course, your Chaser girls are also very good, and Angelina can hardly keep up with their speed."

In the end, Hufflepuff lost slightly to Gryffindor. After all, the Gryffindor players who played with the three of them were not very adaptable to Hufflepuff's usual rhythm, and the twins on the opposite side were really difficult to deal with.

"You haven't even played in a formal match yet, but you're already so good." Sun Zhu took a breath, "But don't you realize that you're a little out of touch with your teammates? Although you can disrupt your opponents, you don't really cooperate with your teammates."

"Wow, you observe so carefully?" Fred wiped the bat. "The captain said the same thing about us."

"Thank you for your reminder. I think you have adapted better than us. You just scored at least five goals, right?"

"Eight. Senior Anna scored 11. But that's because there was no goalkeeper. If there was..."

"It's already great."

"You're not bad either."

The twins and Sun Zhu started to praise each other commercially.

"Oh, right." George seemed to suddenly remember something. He looked behind Sun Zhu and suddenly blinked. "Our roommate Li Jordan asked me to give you something."

"Lee Jordan?" Sun Zhu was a little surprised. "I...I don't think I know him?"

Although she had certainly heard of this Gryffindor who was keen on commentating Quidditch, they had never had any contact with each other.

"It doesn't matter, just follow me." George led Sun Zhu to the Gryffindor lounge area and took out a notebook from somewhere.

"Lee said he found it in the men's bathroom on the first floor. It was soaked in the sink, but it was intact. He was curious and brought it back. We all guessed that Peeves had lost it there."

"Uh, ah, men's room..." Sun Zhu hesitated whether to answer it.

"Don't worry, it's clean." Fred's voice came, "Li once tore off one of the pages to write down the potion formula and put it in the potion textbook. As a result, the torn page returned to the book the next day, and the handwriting on it was all reversed. Li Fei said that this is a cursed notebook. If you take it, he will be grateful to you."

"He got points taken away from Snape for that because he couldn't find the notes and mixed the potion from memory and it exploded the cauldron." George laughed.

"So we heard you were looking for a notebook like this, so we brought it to you. To be honest, it's a pretty cool notebook, very suitable for pranks." Fred opened the notebook and handed it to Sun Zhu.

"Add porcupine quills, light the fire, then throw ground snake fangs and dried nettles into the crucible and stew them, and finally add slugs with tentacles... What kind of recipe is this?" Sun Zhu tried hard to recall.

"The scabies potion should actually be 'Steam the slugs with antennae first, and grind the snake's fangs into powder. Then throw the dried nettles and ground snake fangs into the cauldron and stew them together. After turning off the fire, add the porcupine quills.' I wonder if Lee could see these records and do the experiment in reverse, would he still blow up the crucible?" George shook his head with a gloating look on his face.

"He'd probably blow Snape's hair out. I don't understand why he doesn't take notes in his textbook."

"Did you seriously take notes on the potions in your textbook?" Sun Zhu asked.

"No, I don't remember anything at all," the twins said in unison.

Sun Zhu stuffed the notebook into his team uniform pocket speechlessly. "Anyway, thank you. I'll take the notebook. Also say thank you to Mr. Jordan for me."

Sun Zhu said goodbye to the twins and saw Cedric staring at the sky in a daze not far behind him.

"What are you looking at?"

"Stars." He pointed to the moon in the sky.

"Am I dazzled, or are you stupid?" Sun Zhu rubbed his eyes.

"Oh." He came back to his senses and whispered, "Maybe my eyes are blurry. I was just too bored. Are you... done with your work?"

"Hmm..." Sun Zhu didn't think much about it. She rubbed her belly and waved to Cecilia and Anna who were not far away. "Let's go. Let's go to the kitchen to eat while Gryffindor is not paying attention. The elves have developed a new recipe, and I haven't tried it yet."

"While they're not paying attention?"

"They don't know where the kitchen is. Even though Fred George has asked me many times, I'm not going to tell them."

Sun Zhu pulled his sleeve and walked forward: "After all, this is Hufflepuff's exclusive secret."
