The Chinese girl from Hufflepuff is both timid and brave

The next morning, Sun Zhu was awakened by an indescribable force.

She had a strange dream, in which she was running forward for some reason, as if driven by an invisible force. But the strange thing was that although there were many people running in the same direction as her, some of them disappeared while running, and some of them were just phantoms when she accidentally bumped into them.

She had clearly controlled her pace, but for some reason, she kept bumping into people one after another. After realizing that they were all just her illusions, she was shocked to realize that she was the only one running on this road.

She was so tired that she wanted to stop, but she continued to run uncontrollably towards the invisible destination with her legs filled with lead.

Stop, stop now!

She struggled hard in her dream, subconsciously trying to break free from this control.

"Why do you want to stop?"

A voice that could not be distinguished between male and female, old and young suddenly spoke.

"Isn't this what you have been insisting on? Why do you give up halfway? Are you unable to persist?"

She subconsciously looked around. Although she was still running, her speed had slowed down a lot.

"But I don't want to be alone like this. Rather than being driven forward for no apparent reason, I want to work towards my destination with everyone else. That's what I want to do more."

She heard herself answer.

"Have you not noticed? You have never been alone. However, you are too concerned about the past and the future in front of you, and ignore the present in reality."

In her dream, her steps suddenly paused. She stopped and gasped for breath, trying hard not to lie down.

Strange... Who is this voice in the dream? Why does He seem to know her so well? Why can't she wake up even though she knows she is dreaming?

She had clearly stopped running, but she was still getting more and more out of breath. Without time to think about what He meant, she tried hard to breathe in fresh air, trying to pull herself out of the situation where she was about to suffocate.

"Where is this? Did I offend some mastermind by what I did? Is he finally going to kill me?" Sun Zhu's heart gradually began to feel a little scared, and he couldn't help but mutter to himself.

What invisible force was holding back her breathing?

The strange voice that was neither male nor female seemed to be able to hear what was in her heart and sighed:

"In this world, the only person who can hurt you is yourself."

Sun Zhu was startled and looked around to find the source of the sound, but still found nothing. Noticing that the oxygen in the air was getting thinner and thinner, she began to sweat.

Wait, do you sweat in your dreams?

She couldn't help but raise her hand to wipe the sweat off her face, but it seemed as if she exerted force and brushed off something thick and heavy from her body.

Countless amounts of fresh air suddenly rushed into her lungs. She sat up from the bed and looked at the thick quilt pressing on her body. Her consciousness was still hazy.

Was I really dreaming just now? Now, are you awake?

She looked into the dressing mirror not far from the bedside and saw a pale-faced, messy-haired girl in the mirror staring at her blankly.

There were a few strands of black hair wet with sweat stuck to her forehead. She was still wearing the same clothes she wore when she went out last night. The originally smooth and comfortable fabric was now wrinkled due to her sleeping.

She jumped out of bed in a hurry, glad that she remembered to take off her shoes before going to bed.

Wait... who covered her with that blanket? It covered her upper body so thickly that her mouth, nose and chest were pressed so hard that she couldn't breathe, but her legs were exposed, and she almost froze to death.

No wonder in her dream she had difficulty breathing in her upper body and her legs felt as heavy as lead.

Logically speaking, it was impossible for anyone else to enter her room last night. At least her father would not enter uninvited after she was five years old, and the possibility of the other three people was still very low.

Could it be that someone who wanted to kill her sneaked into this old house and tried to suffocate her with a quilt?

"Host, good morning, how did you sleep last night?"

"Not so good, I almost couldn't wake up." Sun Zhu said subconsciously: "Did you find any suspicious people? I almost suffocated to death under the quilt!"

Tongzi fell into silence, which was rare.

"Maybe, the other party has good intentions... Don't worry, no suspicious people appeared around here last night."

"Did you hear anything knocking on the window? Hey, it's already past eight o'clock and dad didn't even come to call me." She fixed her hair and used a spell to adjust her dress. Tongzi's judgment made her feel a lot more at ease, and now she should be alert to deal with what might happen next.

such as……

"Host, there is indeed movement outside the window. It seems to be an owl."

She hurried to the window without even bothering to tie up her hair. This room was located on the third floor of the old Black house. The window faced the wall of the backyard of the old house. Looking down, she could vaguely see the Muggle street covered with snow.

The second day of Christmas was a sunny day. The snow outside the window was beginning to melt. Sun Zhu squinted her eyes and thought of the endless white on the road below when she was leaning on the dragon's back last night. She exhaled lightly and opened the window.

A familiar-looking owl flew into the room excitedly. Sun Zhu was stunned for a moment, then saw a large package on its paws. He touched its head with amusement.

"Jerry, you're here so early? Your master really doesn't care about you."

"Come out and play, come out and play!" The gray forest owl flapped its wings and stepped on the carpet in her room.

"Well, you are really full of energy." She took a small plate of cookies and some water and placed it in front of Jerry, "You play by yourself first, I'll go wash up."

The Tawny Owl patted the package he had brought with his wings: "Unpack, unpack!"

Sun Zhu had no choice but to quickly wash himself with cold water, and then reluctantly picked up the package at the urging of the owl.

Due to the stimulation of the water temperature, her mind was much clearer than before. With her black hair hanging down to her shoulders, she sat cross-legged on the thick carpet and began to unpack the package.

"So urgent, it must be food delivery again?" She muttered softly, "Can you give double Christmas gifts?"

However, after opening the package, I saw a large fluffy panda head-shaped pillow inside.

No wonder it's bulging...

She picked up the pillow and looked at it, and found that it had a big hood, and she could put her hand between the panda's head and the hood, and then put the hood on her head. It looked silly, but it was very warm.

Sun Zhu couldn't help but smile. This wasn't much different from the hand-warming pillow she had used in her previous life!

But why did she want to laugh so much when she looked at it?

Hey, could it be that Student Seide sewed this himself?

She thought to herself and accidentally pulled out a letter from her hood.

"I guess you are smiling now, right? How did you spend yesterday? It must have been very enjoyable and fulfilling. I was the same. I went to my grandparents' house with my parents. My grandmother accompanied me in an experiment, and the results are already in your hands.

Well, I drew this little animal based on a picture in a Muggle book. Its body is too difficult to draw, so it's easier to just draw the head. Can you recognize what it is? As for turning it from a pattern into a real thing, I have to ask my grandmother. She said she would be happy to try some interesting crafts.

The additional warming magic inside was inspired by the things you called "warm babies" last time. Mom said it didn't seem to rely on magic to generate heat, but fortunately she taught me to prepare a new type of safe and stable solid heating potion.

But I'm not sure how effective it is. After much thought, you are the best person to test its efficacy for me. I think you won't refuse this small request, right?

By the way, consider these freshly baked cookies as your reward for helping me. When you return to school, remember to tell me whether they have played their intended role. "

The signature is a black and white sketch of a badger's head, which is very cute.

The leading student in the Badger College is really good at whatever he learns, and even his painting skills have been improved.

I didn't expect that he actually studied the hot pack she got from Tongzi. Then again, she seemed to have been saying that she was freezing to death, so Tongzi found a way to send her something that would only appear in the future, and he didn't ask her for a penny.

At that time, Tongzi must have really thought that she would freeze to death playing Quidditch in such a cold weather, so he gave her a cheat?

What about Seide? He also saw that she was afraid of the cold, so he made her a magic panda head for Christmas.

Thinking of the "reward" he mentioned, she reached into the big hood of the panda head and dug around, and sure enough, she pulled out a bag of tightly packed biscuits. She knew there must be something to eat! Don't mention it, she was really hungry.

Sun Zhu sat cross-legged on the cushioned chair in the room, eating cookies made by the clever Aunt Fiona, while picking up a feather pen and quickly starting to write a reply.

"Congratulations, you got it right. I had a very fulfilling day yesterday. As for this panda, since it and I have such a good relationship, as a helpful Hufflepuff, I will do you a favor. By the way, remember to say hello to your elders for me, thank the skillful Mrs. Diggory, and wish them a Merry Christmas."

At the end of the letter, she drew a crude panda head. Although it was not as good as Seth’s, it was an authentic Chinese panda!

Jerry dutifully grabbed her reply and flew away happily again.

Just when she was about to finish all the cookies, there was a knock on the door.

"Azhu, are you awake?" Dad's voice came, "Come down and have something to eat. By the way, Mr. Black just received a letter. Your headmaster, Mr. Albus Dumbledore, plans to visit here this afternoon. Mr. Lupin and I are going to accompany him. Do you want to come and see him?"
