On Friday afternoon, Harry, Ron and Hermione all had their elective classes, while Su Xingchen was the only one who did not have any classes.

As a student, the happiest thing is not the holidays, but not having to attend classes during school hours.

She had already figured out what she was going to do with the rest of the day.

First, go find Draco and listen to the gossip, no, news, that he can't wait to share. It's certain that the Malfoys know much more than the Weasleys.

Too bad Draco wasn't available.

Watching the three Slytherins hurriedly leaving, Su Xingchen pursed his lips and tapped his chin, feeling that something was wrong.

Was she really that scary yesterday?

As a pure-blood wizard who has been accustomed to all kinds of strange creatures since childhood, how could Draco be scared by a beautiful young girl like her?

Su Xingchen shook her head vigorously. She would never admit it.

But since Draco wasn't available, we'd go to plan B. Find the kitchen.

As a stay-at-home mom, she went from a food paradise to a food desert. Except for the first year when she was too decadent to care about anything, she endured it for a whole year, and now she has reached her limit.

Although she only knew how to cook scrambled eggs with tomatoes and fried shredded potatoes, they were delicious. She no longer wanted to eat baked pies, roasted chicken legs, roasted corn and pumpkin juice.

The kitchen is off-limits to students and there's no special signage, so the target: the Hufflepuff common room.

Once you find the lounge, the kitchen won't be far away.

It was also forbidden to enter the common rooms of other colleges, but there was no explicit prohibition against loitering around them. If discovered, one could find reasons and excuses to take advantage of this loophole and avoid being deducted points.

Su Xingchen walked down the stairs towards the Hufflepuff common room. This was her first time walking this route.

There were very few students on the road. Walking alone on the road, many people she knew stared at her or snickered at her, which made her truly experience what Harry felt like when he was treated like a monkey all year round.

Hermione said that at the rate at which Hogwarts classmates gossip, the whole school would know what happened in the Defense Against the Dark Arts class in about three days.

In fact, she had already felt it in the morning. Fortunately, most of her classmates were friendly. Everyone just thought it was funny and no one made any sarcastic remarks to her.

Su Xingchen wandered around the place that looked like the Hufflepuff common room for a long time, but he didn't find the Hufflepuff entrance or the kitchen.

After walking around in circles, the portrait on the wall asked her what she was doing walking around here, and she could only perfunctorily say, "Strolling around." Then she couldn't help but sigh, she was really good at hiding.

"Look who I caught?" A sudden voice rang out in the empty corridor.

Su Xingchen was so scared that he turned around suddenly and took a closer look. Fortunately, it was an old acquaintance.

"You scared me." She patted her chest to calm her pounding heart.

As Cedric approached step by step, Su Xingchen tiptoed uncomfortably. This guy seemed to have grown taller again.

The class monitor was probably really busy. Apart from the accidental glances at each other at the welcome party, this was the first time they met this week after school started.

"Only those who are doing bad things will be scared, because they are guilty as always." The words spoken in the charming voice did not make people happy at all.

"What...what bad things?" Someone felt guilty, looking down at the floor. "I'm lost."

"But there's only one way from the Great Hall to the Hufflepuff common room."

"..." Su Xingchen choked. If he admitted this, wouldn't that be like admitting that he was as stupid as a pig? He would get lost even on a straight road.

"Are you looking for the common room of our college?" Cedric's eyes were filled with smiles. From his perspective, he could just see the swirl on the top of the little girl's head, and her soft black hair cascaded down along the direction of her hair.

"Haha." Su Xingchen laughed awkwardly. "How could I be looking for your lounge?" Although she also wanted to ask Cedric directly if he knew where the kitchen was, but thinking of his status as a class leader, she decided not to let him "break the law knowingly."

“It’s class time now, Cedric, aren’t you going to class?

Trying to change the subject.

"Class doesn't start until the second period. Where are you going and why are you here?"

Failed to change the subject.

Su Xingchen raised her head unwillingly and caught a glimpse of Cedric's hilarious expression. What else was there to not understand?

Don't expose her when things are tough, brother. If you know she's lying, don't expose her.

"He's really not cute at all." Su Xingchen muttered softly with his head down. Who said that Cedric Diggory was an upright and kind young man?

Cedric probably didn't hear her mumbling and started a new topic.

"You seem to have grown shorter." He stretched out his hand to measure the position of his shoulders, which had reached his chin last year.

This directly punctured someone's lung.

"If you want to say you're tall, just say it. How have I gotten shorter? How can a person get shorter? You're older than me, and you're a boy, so it's normal for you to be a little taller than me. How am I shorter?"

Cedric looked at the angry little girl with a smile on his face, which was different from her usual gentle and gentle appearance towards everyone, and she was extremely cute.

Unfortunately, even though her round almond-shaped eyes glared at him fiercely, they did not inspire fear in people. Instead, they made people want to poke her cheeks, which were swollen with anger.

He held back his restless hand, thinking he couldn't poke it, or it would explode.

Suddenly thinking of the rumors I heard today, a deeper smile appeared in my eyes. He is not only a little kid, but also a coward.

"By the way, I heard..." he joked.

"No, you haven't. You haven't heard anything." Almost instantly, Su Xingchen guessed what Cedric wanted to say. After the words came out of her mouth without thinking, she was about to dig out a Gryffindor common room with her feet.

The so-called "covering one's ears to steal the bell" probably refers to people like her.

Cedric was stunned for half a second, then he smiled even more brightly, his big white teeth shining, "You're right, I didn't hear anything."

…The silence was deafening.

Feeling as if he had done something stupid, Su Xingchen glared angrily at the culprit in front of him. Not only did he poke someone's lungs, but he did it twice.

She snorted and walked towards the auditorium without looking back.

Cedric looked at the "angry" back and scratched his hair helplessly.

He exploded again. He couldn't help but tease the little girl every time, and he couldn't control himself.

After confirming that there was no one behind her, Su Xingchen gradually slowed down her pace. She was not as angry as she seemed, she was just looking for an excuse to leave.

She discovered something very bad. When facing Cedric, she occasionally had the illusion that she was facing Su Yuechen. She couldn't help but let down her guard and reveal her true self.
