The Chinese girl from Hufflepuff is both timid and brave

Ernie MacMillan? It was certainly not an unfamiliar name.

Although his "importance" is not as great as the Gryffindor protagonists, he is certainly not unknown in the original work.

He is a Hogwarts student in the same year as Harry. He is a typical Hufflepuff who was born into a pure-blood family but is close to Muggles, honest, upright and pragmatic.

Sun Zhu soon followed Ivan and saw a short, handsome, and slightly chubby blond boy. Opposite him was Fina, who had her back to them. She was listening to him intently and writing something down quickly. The two people who were communicating didn't realize it until they approached.

Sun Zhu couldn't help but pat Fina's shoulder and saw that there was a slight curve at the corners of her slightly pursed lips.

"Excuse me?" She said to the two of them with a smile.

Ernie nodded blankly and glanced at his cousin who was smiling but saying nothing beside Sun Zhu. Fina quickly reacted: "Did I keep you waiting?"

"No, I just came to see you. By the way, I wanted to ask if you would like to spend Christmas at my house later."

Fina's silver-blue eyes were filled with surprise. She repeated as if to confirm: "Invite me to your house?"

"Yes. To be honest, this is the first time I invite classmates to my home. After all, my neighbors are all Muggles. I wonder if you will get used to it." Sun Zhu said pitifully: "You don't have the heart to let me be rejected the first time I invite someone!"

Fina couldn't help but laugh, "My pleasure."

After getting her affirmative answer, Sun Zhu turned his gaze to the two McMillan brothers standing beside him: "I'm sorry to have disturbed you just now. Uh, what were you talking about before?"

Ivan introduced Sun Zhu to Ernie, and Ernie became much more enthusiastic after hearing that she was also a student of Hogwarts.

"I saw Miss Bulstrode asking about the diet for Kneazle before. It just so happens that I have three pure-blooded Kneazle at home. They are all of normal size and in good health. I have a lot of experience in this area, so I volunteered to tell her all the recipes I knew!"

Sun Zhu hugged Fina's arm and said with a cheesy face: "So Fina did it for me~"

Fina tapped her forehead lightly: "It has nothing to do with you. I am doing this for the suffering Yuanbao."

The two McMillan brothers on the opposite side seemed to be a little upset, but didn't say anything.

"But my cat-kneel is a mixed-breed. Can the recipe be used universally?" Sun Zhu asked uncertainly.

"Of course, although purebloods may be superior in some aspects, they are essentially the same as half-bloods! Some half-blood cat-nukes even have longer lives than purebloods." Ernie obviously didn't think this was a problem.

"Thank you, Mr. McMillan." Fina nodded.

Sun Zhu noticed that the boy, who was originally very calm and generous, became obviously reserved after hearing this thank you. He said nervously and shyly, "No...you're welcome!"

Sun Zhu lowered his head and smiled secretly, then quickly returned to his normal expression and said to them: "I'm glad to meet you here, thank you for your recipes. However, my father is still waiting for us downstairs, so I have to say goodbye for now. I look forward to seeing you at Hogwarts soon."

She addressed the last sentence to Ernie, and the enthusiastic boy, who had now recovered, nodded vigorously at her.

Ivan adjusted his glasses and looked out the window: "It's still snowing heavily outside, how are you going to get back?"

Sun Zhu scratched his hair and glanced at Fina: "Well, I'll take you to take the Muggle subway. You've never taken it before, right?"

"No." Fina shook her head: "But I don't have any Muggle currency."

"With me here, is this still a problem?" Sun Zhu shrugged and looked at the McMillan brothers, "Then shall we leave?"

"Subway, what's that?" Ernie said with a country bumpkin look, "We came here by Iseron, where do you live, we can give you a ride!"

"Iseron? What is that?" Now it was Sun Zhu's turn to show the same expression.

"A kind of Pegasus. Some pure-blood families raise this magical animal as a means of transportation." Fina explained.

"Oh... I only know Yeqi." This is indeed the style of a pure-blood family, Sun Zhu muttered softly.

"My home is in a Muggle community. Riding a dragon will scare my neighbors." Normally, my dad has to disguise himself as a Muggle when going to work, instead of just Apparating at home. How could he accept the arrival of a Pegasus?

"It seems that it is indeed inconvenient, but it is snowing hard outside. Are you sure you don't want to wait until it stops before leaving?" Ivan shook his head and said, "It wasn't snowing this heavily when we came here in the morning. The Disillusionment Spell my father set was enough for Isserlon to remain hidden for a day, but the bad weather will easily expose its whereabouts. If we can wait for the snow to subside, it is not impossible to go to the Muggle community."

"That would be too much trouble for you." Although Sun Zhu wanted to know what the Pegasus looked like, there was no need to go to such a big fuss to go home. "You won't get wet in the rain or snow if you stay in the Muggle subway. Next time I have a chance, I can take you to experience it."

After saying goodbye to the McMillan brothers with Fina, Sun Zhu first opened his backpack and took out a thick scarf and a panda head pillow.

Fina straightened her plush coat for her, then put her hands in her pockets and said casually, "Why are you so afraid of the cold... Hey, where did this pillow come from?"

"It's natural. There's nothing I can do about it." Sun Zhu wrapped himself up, stuffed his hands between the panda's head and the hood, and stomped his slightly frozen feet. "This is... a gift from Cedric."

"Oh... just pretend I didn't ask." Fina glanced at the passing ward on the fifth floor, didn't pay much attention, and continued to walk down.

Sun Zhu shook his head, hating himself for speaking in such a guilty tone.

"Hey, how did you get here? Are you riding a Pegasus too?" Fortunately, she quickly thought of a topic that could be used to change the subject.

"No, my aunt doesn't like the feeling of flying high in the sky. In fact, Bulster's house is not far from here. She sent me here and then went back. Of course, I know the way. In fact, I often came here to play by myself when I was a child." Fina smiled, "You wouldn't have thought that I walked here."

"I really didn't expect the answer to be so simple and unpretentious."

These pure-blood families seem to hate Muggles, but their old houses are so close to the Muggle community. This is the case with the Black family and the Bulstrode family.

This may be because originally wizard families lived together, but over the years, the number of wizards grew much slower than that of Muggles, and the Muggle community that came later dispersed the wizarding settlements, resulting in the current situation where you are in me and I am in you, and the great are hidden in the city.

Sun Zhu was guessing silently in her heart and didn't notice that a somewhat crazy woman was bumping towards her at the corner of the stairs between the fourth and fifth floors.
