The Chinese girl from Hufflepuff is both timid and brave

The busy day passed like this, and life soon returned to normal. Everything returned to the way it was before her tenth birthday, dull and very peaceful.

Sun Zhengxing did not ask her about the specific situation of being able to understand animals' speech. Even when she brought it up, he did not seem to take it seriously. He comforted her by saying that unusual things often happen to young wizards, and that she might just have a magical riot, and asked her to relax and not think that she was different from others, as it was normal.

Is this really normal? Sun Zhu began to doubt herself. Did she forget the original setting? Is it really common to be able to understand animals' speech in the magic world?

But since she didn't have to explain to her dad, she was happy and at ease.

So in the next few days, except for the mechanical system voice that kept reporting the progress in her consciousness, she lived like a child in an ordinary wizard family.

"Host, twelve hours have passed since you left, and the Ministry of Magic has not allowed anyone to enter the space to contact the dragon. In the past, they would send people to try to send some food in."

"Newt stopped a Department of Magical Cooperation officer who said the space was unsafe and that he needed time to re-strengthen it."

"..."

"Host, Long has opened both of his eyes." On a weekend morning, Sun Zhu woke up to hear the system's surprised notification.

"... Then what? Are you still not giving up?" Sun Zhu was speechless. "It turns out that it knows what the bead is used for. It won't swallow it."

"But according to my probability analysis, there is a nearly 70% chance that it will choose to believe you."

"You have this function? What's the basis for it?" she asked while drinking milk.

Although it is the weekend today, Sun Zhengxing still has things to do. Before leaving, he only said guiltily that he would bring her some delicious food when he comes back.

"Because it's so lonely, and you're the only one who can understand it. So it comes to you."

"Maybe. Anyway, as long as it doesn't suddenly get angry and do something bad, I don't care about anything else."

Suddenly an owl fluttered its wings and circled around her window. She was surprised because she had only seen owls delivering letters to her father. Now that he was not at home, the owl would not come here again.

So you are really looking for yourself?

She leaned in and opened the window, recognizing the Tawny Owl as Cedric's Jerry.

Jerry brought a letter and a gift box, which seemed to be from Honeydukes.

She didn't rush to read the letter, but took a piece of bread to Jerry. Then she touched his head and asked, "How are Cedric and his family doing recently? Is Ms. Fiona's illness getting better?"

"Ced is doing well, Fiona has no problems anymore and she's playing with me again."

"That's good. How about you, Jerry? Are you feeling better?"

"Jerry feels bored." The Tawny Owl drooped its wings. "Sad and lonely."

"Huh? You still feel lonely? Didn't Ms. Fiona accompany you?"

"Jerry doesn't know. Jerry is unhappy."

"Well, thank you Jerry, for still sending me letters even when you were in a bad mood." She couldn't help but touch his wings again, "I believe everything will be over soon."

Jerry nodded and quickly flew away.

Sun Zhu couldn't help but complain to the system: "You said Long believed me, but you see, he didn't even let go of these small animals. He didn't care what I said at all, so how could he swallow a bead that looked wrong?"

"Host, there may be some misunderstanding." The system objected weakly, "Perhaps..."

"It doesn't matter whether there is any misunderstanding or not. The dragon is indeed under no obligation to listen to me. I am not related to it, and I can't promise it any benefits, let alone defeat it. However, do you know anything that can help Jerry and the others get rid of the interference of the dragon's might?"

"There are elixirs in the system store that can remove mental control. Maybe they will be useful." The system was not too sure. After all, its things were for use in the world of cultivation. Who knew if they could be used on animals in the magic world?

“…Does it require some system experience to redeem it?” How did it become a closed loop again?

"Jerry's IQ, or intelligence, is not as good as Long's. Logically, he is unlikely to feel lonely, but he should not be able to lie... How strange."

She opened Cedric's letter.

He had beautiful cursive handwriting, and the dark blue ink matched the beige stationery, which looked as neat and tidy as he was.

He started with a polite greeting and asked about her and her father's recent situation. Then he briefly talked about his own situation. Like her, he also learned some basic knowledge from tutors and his parents to lay the foundation for admission to Hogwarts. Although she didn't have a mother to teach her these.

Likewise, he inevitably mentioned his increasingly busy father and expressed concern for the small animals.

"Originally, I was planning to write to you earlier. After all, I shouldn't not contact my friends for so long. But Jerry's condition has not been very good, and I really don't feel comfortable letting him go. I considered whether to come to London to see you, but I was afraid of disturbing you too much.

Fortunately, Dad told me that he saw you visiting the Ministry of Magic with your father and that you got along well with Mr. Newt Scamander.

Maybe I shouldn't say it, but I should be honest. I really envy you for being able to meet Mr. Scamander. I have been to the Ministry of Magic many times with my father, but I have never met anyone as knowledgeable, interesting and sincere as Mr. Scamander. However, I am also very happy that you can communicate well with Mr. Scamander. I wonder if I will have the opportunity to meet him. If there is such a day, I hope he will like me too. "

Hahaha! Sun Zhu couldn't help but laugh out loud.

The "seniors" of Hufflepuff envied her for being able to meet the "old seniors" of Hufflepuff.

Should I say it or not, he is really frank and cute.

"After all, he is just a ten-year-old boy." Old aunt Sun Zhu said with a sigh.

"Host, you are just a ten-year-old girl. You are even younger than Cedric." The system reminded.

"...My body is still young, but my soul is old." She pretended to be deep.

"As long as you are happy." The system chose to remain silent.

“If you could stop calling her by your name in the future, I would also feel very young.” Although it has been said many times, the system always uses respectful titles to address her.

After listening to this for a few years, will she still feel young?

Never mind, just continue reading the letter.

The letter was not long, but she read it with great interest because it was the first letter she had received since she came here.

In the name of a friend.

She quickly noticed the last words.

"Later I learned from my father that the day we met was your tenth birthday. Forgive me for not knowing it at the time, but now that I know it, I must make up for it with a gift. I asked my mother to choose the gift, a Honeydukes candy gift box, I hope you like it.

Yours sincerely, Cedric."

Oops. Her face flushed.

How come this little boy is more thoughtful than her who thinks she is an adult? He even went out of his way to make up a birthday present for her.

She suspected that the letter might have been written to send a gift.

Foreign kids are really enthusiastic, but as a Chinese who hasn't changed her mindset yet, she is obviously a little cold towards her friends in contrast.

She carefully opened the beautifully packaged gift box, picked up a famous fizzy bee candy, and put it in her mouth.

Melts in your mouth, sweet but not greasy. This is the highest praise Chinese people give to desserts.

"System." She said, "I also want to pick out gifts for Cedric and Luna."

"I'm glad to see that you care so much about your friends." The system replied: "However, you also need to do another thing now."

"?"

"The dragon has swallowed the Sumeru Pearl. You can recite the mantra silently to subdue it." The system said happily.
