The Chinese girl from Hufflepuff is both timid and brave

"If Harry also comes to Hufflepuff... No, he really wants to be in Gryffindor, that's for sure." Sun Zhu looked at Harry, who was wearing the Sorting Hat with his eyes closed and seemed to be muttering something, and actually wanted to laugh a little.

Neville's unexpected sorting made her a little confused, but Harry's silent repetition of "No Slytherin" still made her feel silly and cute.

Cedric looked at Sun Zhu, who seemed like she was about to cry and laugh, then glanced at Harry, who was sitting in a chair waiting for the results of the sorting, and pursed his lips slightly.

"Then Gryffindor will be the best place for you!"

Gryffindor burst into loud cheers. Sun Zhu heard the twins seem to be shouting "We have Potter". She finally curled the corners of her mouth and felt much more at ease.

She didn't pay much attention to the subsequent sorting results of Pansy Parkinson and others. As long as it was confirmed that Ron would also go to Gryffindor, then Neville would be the only surprise.

In fact, the possibility of these people having an "accident" is very low.

She turned her head and accidentally saw Cedric seemed to be in a daze. She touched him gently and asked, "What's wrong? Are you not feeling well?"

"Zhu, are there many people you know among these new students?"

That's too many. Who here doesn't she know? Unfortunately, not many people know her.

"No, apart from Harry and Ron, I only met the others once at most... Why are you asking this suddenly?"

"Then do you see who is different?" Cedric asked, "Why did you just say that you don't know anything? Have you ever known anything?"

"I..." Sun Zhu blinked, feeling a little confused.

Should she make up something to deceive this guy who looked a little stupid, or tell him the truth?

"There are quite a few. We Hufflepuffs have them too. But the situation is not what I expected. I don't know how to explain it to you, but... I think I can find a way to sort it all out again."

Cedric nodded immediately: "I believe you."

Suddenly, there was another round of cheering. They turned around and saw a boy who looked a little apologetic coming over. He seemed a little surprised that so many Hufflepuffs were so excited about his arrival. But he seemed to remember something immediately, straightened his back, and sat down proudly.

"What's his name?" Sun Zhu asked Karina.

"Zacharyus Smith."

"This name sounds familiar." Sun Zhu murmured.

"It seems to be Director Smith's nephew." Cedric said uncertainly.

"Uh..." Sun Zhu rubbed his eyes and looked at the man again, "I seem to have some impression of him."

This... seems to be the shame of Hufflepuff in the original book.

Although the most shameless thing he did was to question Harry in front of him...

"What's wrong?" Cedric glanced at him for a few seconds, then quickly looked away. "You seem a little..."

"Sed, let's stay away from him." Sun Zhu didn't want to be affected by those bad memories, but when she saw this person, she would think of those things. She pulled his arm and whispered, "Let's sit somewhere else."

Cedric obediently followed her and sat at the front of the Hufflepuff table, where senior Michelle was talking to the male prefect. When she saw them coming, she tilted her head in confusion.

Michelle is now in the sixth grade, and Alan Pike is the new fifth-grade prefect. He is listening to her introduction to the rights and duties of a prefect.

"It's okay, we can see it more clearly here, please continue." Sun Zhu waved his hand, and the little badgers around him cooperated by moving their positions to make enough space for them.

Sun Zhu turned her head and looked towards her original position. Fina and Kalina were looking at her, one with a smile on their face and the other with a confused look on their face.

Ah, I just forgot to say hello to them and ran away...

Sun Zhu silently turned his back to them, trying to hide his guilty conscience.

The sorting ceremony continued and soon came to an end.

After Ron was sorted into Gryffindor as he wished, not long after, the last person completed the sorting and the ceremony finally ended.

"Hurry up, hurry up, I'm so hungry. There's still the principal's speech and the school song, and then we can start eating, right?" she heard a senior say.

“You only know how to eat…” his companion said with contempt.

"Aren't you hungry?"

This year's Hufflepuff class has 12 people, which is considered a lot. Sun Zhu couldn't help but think about Neville again, but she was a little far away from him now, so it was not convenient for her to keep looking at him.

As expected, Dumbledore only gave a brief speech, including introducing the new Defense Against the Dark Arts professor Quirrell, and declaring the third floor a restricted area, and prohibiting entry into the Forbidden Forest, etc.

Sun Zhu listened to him slowly going through the process, sang the tuneless school song, and then began to enjoy dinner.

Seeing the tableware and food suddenly appear, most of the freshmen would be surprised, and some of the Mumblebloods would be scared, but on the Hufflepuff side, there is always a shortage of enthusiastic seniors to help.

"It seems that the overall plot has not changed. Why did Neville come here? Is there any way for him to go back?"

"Host, would that seem deliberate?"

"No, actually, from what the Sorting Hat said...Neville wanted to come here on his own."

What made him make this choice? Sun Zhu thought of Fina two years ago, who also came to Hufflepuff in this way.

The Sorting Hat does respect the opinions of students, but it also requires that they have the qualities of that house. Neville is certainly kind and honest enough, so it is no problem for him to come to Hufflepuff. But after leaving the Gryffindor protagonist group, will he also become a background board in the original book?

Suddenly, someone snapped their fingers in her ears. Sun Zhu turned around and saw Senior Sister Anna staring at them and said, "Why did you two come here? It's so hard for me to find you."

"Is there anything wrong, senior sister?" Sun Zhu asked quickly.

"Captain Field wants you to help find out if there are any freshmen who can join the Quidditch team." Anna supported the backs of their chairs with both hands and said, "We need to recruit more people this time and bring them in as substitutes. But we still have to play in the game, but we won't have to work so hard next semester."

Sun Zhu nodded, and she thought of Harry, who would theoretically be directly admitted to the Gryffindor Quidditch team soon.

In fact, the year before last, Seth and James also joined the team as exceptions in their first year, but they started as substitutes and played in friendly matches at most, with only one or two official appearances.

As for Harry, if nothing unexpected happens, he will be the main player right from the start - after all, Charlie has graduated, and he was unable to find a suitable successor to the Seeker until the very end.

"This class of freshmen..." Sun Zhu exclaimed, "They are truly the legend of Hogwarts."
