The Chinese girl from Hufflepuff is both timid and brave

"You mean Miss Eugene asked you to give it to me?"

Fina poked her head out from the thick bed curtains and recalled with half-closed eyes, "Yes, I returned to the common room after dinner today, and a first-year girl said that Miss Eugene from Ravenclaw asked her to pass this to you. Since you were not here, I received it for you. When it was delivered, it was wrapped tightly in parchment. If you didn't know, you would think it was a boy giving you a love letter..."

"She also left me a note. Her handwriting is so beautiful." Sun Zhu ignored the sarcasm in Fina's words. There were only two of them in the dormitory at this time. Karina would go directly from the observation room of the school infirmary to the classroom for class tomorrow morning.

"So, what's the point of collecting these crappy notebooks? Can they really add points?" Fina yawned, "You came back really late today."

"I went to the kitchen to have a midnight snack, so... hey, don't look at me like that, I actually just drank some milk and ate one or two small slices of toast..." Sun Zhu reached out and fiddled with the small potted plant on the table that had only grown two leaves. "Ahem, back to the notebook, I don't actually know what this is used for, but it's quite interesting to collect them. By the way, let me see what Miss Eugene wrote to me."

"You're already so busy, and you're still trying to find something to do." Fina grumbled, "Although there's History of Magic tomorrow morning, you can't stay up now."

"Hey, Miss Eugene said that there was something strange about this notebook. All the star charts she drew on it disappeared overnight. After her test, she found that no text or image could stay on it for more than 24 hours." Sun Zhu also yawned. "She thought this might be what I was looking for, so she brought it to me."

Fina's already unclear mind became even more confused. "What's the point of this thing? Playing tricks on others? For example, if you want to borrow money from someone, write him an IOU with this, and then wait 24 hours and you can get some money for free?"

"It sounds good, but I'm a Hufflepuff." Sun Zhu put the fifth notebook together with the previous ones. "Miss Eugene was very angry about this notebook. After all, the star map was her astronomy homework. I don't know why the notebook she prepared in advance turned into this one. I thought I could make do with it, but I ended up getting cheated."

"...I really don't know which bored guy made these."

"Professor Sprout said that the principal did all this~"

"Ah, well, maybe there is some deeper meaning in this that we can't imagine."

On the second day of the History of Magic class, Karina was already waiting for them in the classroom. She looked energetic and it was hard to tell that she had just come out of the infirmary.

"I told you, it's just a minor injury, but Madam Pomfrey insisted on making me lie down for the whole day." She took notes seriously with a quill, although Sun Zhu still couldn't quite understand her note-taking style.

"It's obvious that you are happy to skip Potions and Defense Against the Dark Arts classes." Fina rolled her eyes and ruthlessly exposed her.

"Ah, I never thought last year that one day I would hate Defense Against the Dark Arts class... I don't know what Professor Black is doing these days."

"He, his recent job is to make trouble for my dad." Sun Zhu answered casually, "My dad wrote to me, saying that Mr. Black plays with cats and fishes in the Sports Department every day, and when he is free, he keeps talking about his smart, cute, well-behaved and sensible godson in their ears. Dad's ears are calloused."

"Huh? What?" Karina was shocked. "How could Professor Black..."

"My dad never speaks ill of others. I guess he is really fed up with him." Sun Zhu spread his hands. "I think he is capable of doing this."

"Petting the cat, what cat?" Fina asked casually.

"It's my lazy cat, Sun Yuanbao. She's almost become the mascot of the Ministry of Magic. My dad said that everyone who sees her likes her! Uncle Arthur and Uncle Amos feed her delicious food every day and take her for walks around the Department of Magical Law and the Department of Magical Creatures!"

Cedric in the front row looked back in confusion: "I think I heard my father's name?"

Sun Zhu poked his back with a feather pen: "Sun Yuanbao's plan to lose weight has encountered new resistance. I have to write a letter to tell Aunt Fiona not to make delicious dried fish for her anymore."

"Oh, I see." He turned back silently, "I'll tell my mother, but I heard that she didn't gain weight."

"How to say?"

"For example, Mom said that Yuanbao would hide when he saw Dad. Hiding here and there increased his exercise a lot."

"Tsk." Fina smiled meaningfully while lying on the table, "Our Yuanbao is still so unique."

"I miss Yuanbao so much! I miss Professor Blake so much!" Karina supported her face and drew circles on the notebook in frustration.

"No way, it's only been half a month since school started. By the way, Fina, it's your birthday tomorrow, have you decided how to celebrate?"

"You guys are busy with Quidditch every day, who can I celebrate with?"

"For example, Senior Tonks?"

"She is also busy with her exams. Besides, birthdays happen every year, so it's not that important." Fina's voice gradually became lower and she soon fell asleep.

Sun Zhu glanced at Professor Binns, who was concentrating on his lecture at the podium. He didn't care whether the students were sleeping or talking, and was still immersed in his own world.

Karina was furiously catching up on her notes from yesterday's class.

But soon, she also lay down on the table.

It was not until the end of the get out of class that Sun Zhu woke up the two sleepy badgers.

"Let's go to Charms class."

Sun Zhu stuffed his notes to Fina, who had half her eyes open, and said, "Help me get it. I'll go find Miss Eugene."

Several Ravenclaw girls were walking together, holding books and enthusiastically discussing the goblin rebellion. Sun Zhu walked up and greeted the most beautiful girl among them.

"Hello, Miss Eugene, I'm Sun from Hufflepuff. I received the note you gave me. Thank you very much for giving it to me."

Bertha Eugene paused slightly and nodded at her: "Well, it's nothing. It wasn't mine in the first place."

"Anyway, thank you for keeping it well. I will remember your help. If you need me in the future, please don't forget me."

Eugene curled his lips slightly, his silver hair shining brightly and softly in the sun: "Okay, I will remember you, Miss Sun."

Karina rubbed her eyes and looked at Sun Zhu with an inexplicable smile and said, "What happy thing happened to you? You've been smiling all the way."

"Ah, is that so?" Sun Zhu touched his face, "Anyway, I'm just happy because things are going well."

"What went well?"

"Uh? Quidditch training went smoothly, right? And Professor Snape didn't deduct any points from me recently, and Professor McGonagall gave me extra points."

"I think she is so proud of herself because she is looking for an excuse to talk to a beautiful woman." Fina exposed her mercilessly again, "She looks like a pervert."

"Hey, am I that obvious?"

"Hey, Zhu, someone's looking for you!" Daisy turned around and pointed to the Charms classroom not far away. "There's a pretty Ravenclaw girl at the door. She said she has something for you."

"Wow, I almost thought you were some handsome guy. Pretty Ravenclaw girls always come to you." Carina reached out and took the things in her arms. "Go quickly, we'll save a seat for you."

Sun Zhu straightened his school robe out of curiosity and went in the direction Daisy pointed.

The spells classroom was in a large room on the upper floors of the tower. There was a handrail staircase at the corner. Sun Zhu saw a black-haired girl holding something and waiting there quietly.

That's Qiu Zhang.

She walked over gently and met Qiu's gaze.

She saw a gleam in Qiu's eyes, which were as black as hers.

"Hi, hello, I'm from Ravenclaw..."

"Qiu?" Sun Zhu smiled and looked at the girl in front of him who seemed a little nervous. "I'm Zhu, from Hufflepuff. You should know me, too?"

"Yes..." Qiu nodded, a strand of black hair slid to the side of her face. She bit her lower lip nervously, "I came to give you this. This is what I found yesterday... I don't know how it appeared. Anyway, I heard that you were looking for such a notebook, so I asked for the Hufflepuff timetable. When you come..."

"Qiu, don't be nervous." Sun Zhu couldn't help but smile, "Why are you so polite when talking to me? I also want to thank you for bringing it to me."

Qiu exhaled softly and handed the notebook in his arms to Sun Zhu: "No, I'm just a little excited. Well, in the whole Hogwarts, it seems that you and I are the only ones who feel the same way..."

"Black hair, black eyes, yellow skin?"

"Almost..." Qiu nodded a little embarrassedly, "I heard about you when I first entered school, and I've always wanted to come and say hello to you, but I didn't know how to start."

"Haha, it seems that my reputation this semester is not very good. I hope it doesn't scare you." Sun Zhu remembered that the news of her being kicked out of the classroom by Alexander seemed to have spread throughout Hogwarts, and she touched her nose awkwardly.

"No... no." Qiu blinked blankly, "I mean, I heard that you are a Hufflepuff Quidditch player. I have always wanted to play Quidditch."

"Aha, that's right. So that's what you mean?" Sun Zhu stretched out his hand and said to her, "We are really destined to be together. If you don't mind, let's get to know each other formally using Chinese etiquette?"

Qiu was stunned for a moment, but soon his eyes brightened up again. He stretched out a hand, overlapped with Sun Zhu's hand, and gently shook it.

"Is that how it is done? Well, my grandmother seems to have taught me this."

"Yes, that's right." Sun Zhu said happily, "The handshake is very popular in China and has gradually become one of the Chinese traditions, but it originated here. Although now people prefer to hug when they meet. Are you not nervous now?"

"I'm still a little excited." Qiu's face was fair, with a little healthy blush, "Senior Sun, are we friends?"

"of course."

"Can I come and watch you play Quidditch later?" She clasped her hands together and whispered, "Not very often. The captain of our house doesn't like being watched during training, so I..."

"You're always welcome if you want to come. Hufflepuff won't reject any friend." Sun Zhu patted the back of her hand gently, "But, what's your next class? Don't you need to go over now?"

"Ah, uh, flying lessons. Marietta, my friend, will help Madam Hooch and I explain."

"That can't be too late, go ahead, we can discuss Quidditch when we have time."

Qiu nodded, turned around and hurried downstairs, and before leaving, he turned back and said, "I haven't touched that book, so I don't know if there is any problem."

"Okay, I understand. Thank you. Also, you can just call me Zhu next time."

After watching the black-haired girl disappear at the stairs, Sun Zhu walked into the Charms classroom with a hardcover notebook in his hand.

Let her think about what kind of thank-you gift would be best for this lovely girl?

Professor Flitwick also walked in soon. He wiped his wand and said with a smile, "I have just finished the first-year Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff spells classes, and now I am about to start the second year. The second-year courses are only a little more difficult than the first year. We will still focus on protective and practical spells."

Sun Zhu nodded and opened the notebook Qiu gave her.

The title page still had Tom Riddle's signature, which she wrote casually on the first page with a quill.

“Incendio!”

"Immobulu!"

"Finite!"

The notebook was filled with spells mentioned by Professor Flitwick, one after another. He said that these were all things that needed to be mastered this semester.

Although some of them have been used by Sun Zhu not very skillfully.

After a few minutes, she put down the "Standard Book of Spells, Level 2" in her hand, looked back at the notebook, and found an extra line of words on it.

"The second-year Charms course? After all these years, the content taught at Hogwarts has not changed much."
