The Chinese girl from Hufflepuff is both timid and brave

Although he knew that his current appearance might scare the children, Sun Zhu still gritted his teeth and looked at the magic mirror in the room first.

In the mirror was a "photo" of a family of three that looked extremely normal: a beautiful woman with a gentle smile, emerald green eyes and bright red hair was putting one hand on the shoulder of the little boy in front of her, while her other hand was held by a man with curly black hair and glasses.

...This is undoubtedly Lily James' family. The three of them look warm and harmonious, but Sun Zhu knows that these are all illusions.

Although this picture appears extremely real, even like any ordinary photo in the magical world, the characters in the picture also have realistic interactions with the outside world.

But the little boy in the painting, Harry, looked ten years old, and there was no lightning scar on his forehead. In addition, he was dressed very respectably, like a little gentleman raised by an ancient magic noble family, smiling at her.

Sun Zhu subconsciously took a half step back and kept as much distance from the mirror as possible.

"Well, I told you there's something strange!"

Uncle Long didn't have the slightest scruples, flying back and forth around the mirror: "Look at how dark their faces are."

Sun Zhu held his head with his hand and whispered, "I think all three of them are pretty normal... How can they be black or white?"

Harry looked at Sun Zhu's face floating in the air with a bewildered look on his face: "You...you...this is..."

Sun Zhu finally reacted, pulled off the invisibility cloak, and smiled awkwardly at Harry: "Um, that, I heard a noise over here, and thinking of the previous noise, I was afraid that there might be danger, so I came to check the situation. I put on this invisibility cloak just in case... Didn't scare you?"

Harry looked at Sun Zhu, who had finally revealed his full body, and swallowed hard before finally nodding his head pretending to be calm: "Of course I'm not scared... This is really, really cool!"

Sun Zhu scratched her head, feeling awkward and not knowing what to say next. After all, it was not polite for her to barge in rudely when someone was having a affectionate conversation with their parents whom they hadn't seen for a long time - even if it was an illusion.

Although Harry might not care about these things, they were after all new friends who were meeting for the "first time" and neither of them was good at socializing, so they didn't know what to do for a while.

"Look, the person in the mirror has changed!" Grandpa Long continued to talk to himself. He was the only one who was at ease at the scene. "Why are there so many people? Eh..."

Sun Zhu was startled and realized that she had stood in front of the mirror without knowing when. Harry was beside her, also staring at the picture in the mirror with wide eyes.

Unlike the heartwarming photo of Harry's family of three, Sun Zhu's desire reflected in the mirror was like an animation, flashing past many people scene by scene.

Headmaster Dumbledore, Sirius Black, Senior Tonks, Professor Lupin, Fred, Professor Snape, and many other people she was not familiar with, all disappeared in an instant like fireworks, leaving behind only overlapping shadows that did not have time to completely dissipate.

She even saw among the shadows Ms. Bertha Jorkins, a colleague of her father's who had helped him pick out skirts for her several times, whom she had only met once.

There was also a lady wearing a nameplate from the Ministry of Magic's Legal Department, with a solemn face but gentle and firm eyes. Although Sun Zhu had never seen her, he saw the nameplate read: Amelia Bones.

A little boy running over with a camera, a little elf that looked both timid and brave, and a snow-white owl...

Sun Zhu reacted suddenly, turned slightly to block Harry's sight.

"Well, I..."

She couldn't let Harry watch any longer, she knew what they were.

Harry also reacted quickly and looked away, his expression looking even more embarrassed: "Sorry... I didn't mean to peek at these, but I..."

"It doesn't matter." Sun Zhu shook his head, and when he noticed that Harry had forced his gaze away, he looked back at the mirror.

This "animation" seemed to have come to an end. Sun Zhu saw that the handsome boy with black hair and gray eyes also cast a gentle gaze at her. His figure also did not last long, but it was enough to leave a deep enough mark in her heart.

Next came her father and a beautiful woman with clear, sharp eyes.

Sun Zhu couldn't help but hold his breath, and at the same time called out to Xiao Tongzi in his heart: "Hurry..."

"Host, rest assured. I have recorded this scene for you. You can review it at any time."

"Is she... my mother?" she heard herself speaking uncertainly.

Harry let out an "Ah" in confusion, and the dragon that had been flapping its wings around also quieted down.

Sun Zhu tried hard to make a curve at the corner of his mouth and smiled: "She is really beautiful, exactly as I imagined."

Seeing that the image in the Mirror of Erised finally stopped at the photo of her parents, Sun Zhu was speechless for a long time. After a while, she covered the mirror with a thick red velvet tablecloth.

Harry stood aside, covering his eyes with his hands, but secretly observing her through the gaps between his fingers.

Sun Zhu turned around and glanced at Uncle Long, then grabbed him and stuffed him into his sleeve.

Uncle Long simply wrapped it around her wrist, like she was wearing a golden bracelet.

Harry's weak voice came: "Um...are you crying?"

Sun Zhu looked at Harry who was covering his eyes in confusion, only to see him blushing and saying, "It's okay, I felt the same as you when I first saw these, but no one else saw them at that time. If you don't want others to see, I can stay still for now."

Sun Zhu smiled and took his hands away from his face. Harry looked at the girl in front of him with clear eyes with some surprise.

"You mean, when you first saw the person in the mirror, you cried?"

"I..." Harry looked a little embarrassed, "I just missed them so much."

"I understand, I feel the same way." Sun Zhu glanced at the mirror covered by the red cloth and suddenly said, "But I think we should not do it like today again."

After all, she now knew that there was something strange in the mirror. Although she couldn't see it, Uncle Long was sure of it.

and……

"Why?" Harry's voice sounded low, "I just wanted to see more of them."

Sun Zhu was silent for a moment. She was not as smart and eloquent as Dumbledore to explain this, nor could she reveal the fragments in the mirror to Harry.

After a long pause, she said softly, "But I don't think they want you to stay like this. If you have something you want to share later, you can tell your friends. There are other people who love you and are willing to listen to you. You don't have to just talk to yourself in front of a mirror, right?"

Harry stared at her blankly; he felt that these words sounded somewhat familiar.

But he couldn't remember anyone saying something similar to him.

Sun Zhu let out a light breath and pulled the dazed Harry out of the storage room.

In fact, her mind was in a mess at the moment, with many things she wanted to sort out lingering in her mind, but the most important thing she should do now was to take Harry away from possible danger.

How about we talk to Sirius tomorrow morning and ask him to put the mirror away where Harry can't see it?

But in this way, she seemed to have become a self-righteous "parent" who disregarded the wishes of others and made decisions under the label of "for your own good".

But, apart from this, is there any other way to keep Harry away from the Mirror of Erised?

Harry stopped and looked at Sun Zhu who was obviously thinking about something and said, "This is my lounge."

"Oh, okay. Well, good night then. Go to bed early?" Sun Zhu had an invisible cloak draped over one arm, and the other hand was half-clenched, looking a little depressed.

"Good night. It's nice to meet you today, my new friend." Harry nodded. "You should go to bed too. It's so late. I'm sorry to disturb you."

"Since we are friends, don't say you are sorry." Sun Zhu smiled. "By the way, Harry, at least you won't look at the mirror again tonight, right?"

Harry stopped, a moist luster flashed in his green eyes, and he said: "Yes. Besides, I won't go there again in the future."

Sun Zhu looked at him in surprise. The skinny little boy smiled and said firmly, "After all, I have already told my parents today that I have a lot of friends now. They definitely want me to get along well with them. Besides, they have their own things to do. I can't always bother them."

Sun Zhu said carefully: "Even if you don't talk to them, they still love you and know that you love them too."

After returning to the room, Sun Zhu silently stuffed the invisibility cloak back into his backpack and sighed.

The dragon-shaped "bracelet" on her wrist glowed slightly. She said to herself, "Now, we can think about why my parents also appeared in the Mirror of Erised, just like the other people killed by Voldemort."

Before Xiao Tongzi could respond, Uncle Long's voice rang out: "I know you definitely didn't notice that the people you saw just now also had black faces. I must destroy this mirror now."
