The Chinese girl from Hufflepuff is both timid and brave

Sun Zhu was thinking about the follow-up measures for the snake monster and felt a little worried.

Maybe she should just blind it out. After all, the basilisk was trapped in the artifact and couldn't do anything to her as its master. She blindfolded herself and got a sharp weapon to destroy its murderous eyes directly, and put an end to it once and for all.

But in the original book, Harry used the sword of Gryffindor to blind it. Ordinary things might not be enough to destroy the eyes of a thousand-year-old basilisk. The sharp dart in her hand was only enough to cut a painless wound on it.

As for whether there is anything else that can subdue the basilisk... Newt's book says that the crowing of a rooster will kill it suddenly, but she specifically asked the basilisk itself, and the answer she got was: Those are just ordinary monsters, I was hatched by Salazar himself!

Yes, if a giant snake monster over a thousand years old could be defeated by a tiny rooster, perhaps solving the problem of the secret room wouldn't be so difficult.

Although it is possible that Dumbledore specifically used the basilisk to test Harry...

Sun Zhu was lying on his bed, chewing a piece of bubble gum. He touched the pattern of the beads on his wrist and said, "The basilisk cannot be killed now. In fact, it is easy to kill it, but there is no benefit. If we keep it, the venom can be used to destroy Horcruxes. Besides, the basilisk is completely under my control, which is more suitable for testing Harry."

She was not as daring as the headmaster, who dared to let the twelve-year-old Harry fight the diary and the basilisk with only a phoenix and a sword. If something went wrong, Dumbledore had the power to turn the tide, but she couldn't. Fortunately, there was such a plug-in to ensure her safety, so as long as Harry entered school... the basilisk would have work to do.

"Host, you mean to say that you want to control the basilisk to attack Harry? Why?"

"It's not that scary. It's not an attack." Sun Zhu waved his hand. "Just have a chat with him. You know, because of the fragment of Voldemort in Harry's body, he has the ability of Parseltongue. Let the basilisk talk to Harry. Maybe it can awaken the dormant soul fragment in his body."

"Are there any risks?" the system asked worriedly, "Will it harm Harry himself? Will it attract Voldemort's attention?"

"I don't know. I know nothing." Sun Zhu sat up from the bed, crossed her arms and stared at Yuan Bao who was angry with her. "But I can only try this. The most urgent problem to be solved now is the problem of the basilisk's eyes."

After going around in circles, the problem comes back again.

The creatures trapped in the bead could not disobey her orders, but there was one exception: things that were beyond their capabilities, even if they were forcibly controlled by divine power, they still could not complete them even if they were exhausted.

For example, if she ordered Lord Long to return to his original form to crush Mr. Nose, it would not work because he no longer had enough power to maintain it. She also could not make Peter turn into a cockroach instead of a mouse - Peter did not have this ability to transform.

Similarly, the basilisk couldn't make its eyes lose the ability to kill, which was its innate attribute. Compared with the dragon, its control over its own abilities was much weaker. In order to keep it, she had to take more insurance to minimize its harm to others.

"Put the sunglasses on it first, and then see if there are other ways in the future... I'll wait until I have a chance to ask Newt about it indirectly. Hey, although he must have doubted me, hmm."

"Have you figured out how to put it on?"

"There's a place that's a perfect choice. There's no surveillance, no patrolling Filch, and no other unnecessary people. It will give priority to fulfilling the wishes of those who make them. As long as you don't happen to be encountered by a ghost that can pass through walls when you're doing something bad, it's hidden and safe enough."

"What you said is..."

"Room of Requirement." She snapped her fingers. "Let's go there tonight. The last time I went there was to find the tiara. I hope I don't run into Lady Grey again."

Speaking of which, the person in Hogwarts who is most likely to know her identity now is actually Helena Ravenclaw, the guardian ghost of Ravenclaw, the daughter of one of the founders, Rowena Ravenclaw.

After her death, she stayed in Hogwarts under the pseudonym Mrs. Grey. She seemed to be indifferent to everything and stayed out of it, but in fact she was always regretting that she had stolen the tiara and mistakenly trusted Voldemort.

The reason why he had been hiding her identity from Dumbledore might be that he was grateful to her for returning the crown to its original owner.

But there was really no reason to keep it a secret from Dumbledore for her - if they ran into him again.

"Maybe you don't have to be so anxious. It's still a long time before Harry starts school. You don't have to risk going to the Room of Requirement now." Tongzi advised: "You have other important things to do now."

"for example?"

"Like you should have eaten lunch first. Your roommate brought the food back for you."

Sun Zhu touched his stomach and said, "I had forgotten about it, but now that you reminded me I'm hungry again. Fina is very nice to me and even brings me food. I wonder if it's what I like."

"In my opinion, yes." Tongzi said, "Because the person who chose it was Cedric."

Fina carried the lunch box in one hand and held Karina's hand with the other, then she opened the door and walked in.

When she saw Sun Zhu looking at her, she immediately smiled and said, "Dear Zhu, you are not angry with me, are you? Look at the lunch I carefully picked for you. I guarantee you will like it."

Karina looked at Fina and seemed to be hesitant to speak, and Tongzi also fell silent.

"Fina, who led you astray?" Sun Zhu said bitterly, "You actually learned to lie with your eyes open."

Who taught her that? Fina was always so cool, how come she became so unreliable now?

The person who led her astray...Sun Zhu couldn't help but reflect, could it be me?

Fina waved the lunch box in front of her nonchalantly: "It's not important. I just want to ask you if you want to eat?"

Sun Zhu held his stomach and hesitated for a second before saying, "Eat!"

"By the way, we just ran into Senior Anna in the lounge." Karina said, "She told me to remember to meet at the old place after class tonight to continue Quidditch training. Although there are no Hufflepuffs in this weekend's game, we must work even harder!"

Sun Zhu bit the spoon in his mouth and nodded.

"Oh, and more." Carina clapped her hands excitedly, "Senior Anna also said that she saw Mr. Scamander in class today! Their fifth-year courses are very difficult, and they have to prepare for exams. Fortunately, Mr. Scamander is here. I heard that his class is very fun! Zhu, we can go and listen to the class. I have asked around. The third-year Hufflepuff Care of Magical Creatures class is at 3 o'clock tomorrow afternoon. We can go and see him secretly!"

Sun Zhu continued to bite the spoon, lost in thought.
