The Chinese girl from Hufflepuff is both timid and brave

"Look, the facts are as I said, everything is normal."

Newt looked at a large translucent silver-white bird that had appeared on the window frame at some point, put his wand back into his pocket, walked over to the sofa and sat down.

The big bird moved its wings slightly, and its long tail feathers fluttered as if they had a physical body.

“You’re not so bored that you’d spy on her every move, are you?” Newt put one hand on his box and the other on his knee, clenching into a fist.

"Believe me, if you really do this, I will leave Hogwarts immediately." His curly hair was blown by the wind from the window, covering his eyes again. "This is not a threat, but it goes against my principles. It is difficult for me to force myself not to mind. You know, even the criminals in Azkaban are treated like this."

The bird chirped, and Newt's tense shoulders relaxed slightly. He picked up the box with both hands and placed it on his knees, and continued, "I believe in your promise. In fact, I brought a lot of things that I think may be useful. Of course, I don't want to quit halfway because of this little thing."

The big bird lowered its head and pecked its feathers. Newt stared at its head, a little surprised: "The Philosopher's Stone? Didn't you say you had already arranged it? Oh, of course, I think Zhu's guess is very logical. In addition to proving that she is indeed a smart girl, it also makes me sure of one thing..."

He leaned back slightly on the sofa, squinting his eyes as if he remembered something. "My guess a few years ago was indeed correct. She must have a big secret that kept her so calm. She was younger than she is now, but she was already calmer than her peers. It seems that nothing in this world can really surprise her..."

He once told his children and grandchildren the story of the Philosopher's Stone. Whether they believed it or not, they all showed a certain degree of surprise and yearning, while Zhu had this reaction.

This shows that she is either ignorant or fearless.

Newt believed she was the latter.

There was no admiration for the mysterious and ancient alchemy in her eyes, nor was there any yearning for the secret art of immortality. She was not afraid of some common sense omissions or some things that were kept secret.

What kind of person is she?

"She is a student at Hogwarts, a clever little girl who is a little mysterious. I am sure of this, and nothing else matters. Your age and mine combined are nearly 20 times hers. I believe that your attitude now is less like wariness and more like curiosity?"

The big bird flapped its huge wings, looked at him deeply, and then flew away from the window.

For some reason, Newt saw a look in the eyes of the patronus that left a deep impression on his soul. He remembered that Dumbledore looked at him with such eyes and then said words that he would never forget.

"Why can't we kill the Dark Lord completely?" He looked up at the ceiling with some melancholy, and a sense of confusion inexplicably flashed through his mind.

"I feel like I've forgotten something. Is it possible that a wizard in his nineties is really old?"

However, in the Hogwarts restaurant, which was more than one kilometer away from the west tower, there was an inexplicable commotion.

At the Slytherin table, two well-dressed pure-blood students were picking at the food on their plates with dignity, attracting several little snakes around them to stay three feet away from them.

One of them suddenly screamed: "Something, something got into my neck!"

The person opposite him stared at him for a few seconds, a little confused: "I didn't see it, wait...something came out of your sleeve!"

"Could it be that Peeves has come again?" Several small snakes nearby hid further away in fear.

"It looks much smaller than Peeves... Wait, it seems to be coming this way..."

"What the hell!" screamed the Slytherin at the beginning, "what is that, grab it for me, it stole my family badge! It has a precious gem on it! You can’t afford to sell it!”

The little eagles on his left looked at him with disgust. One of the tall girls sneered and said, "Rosier, do you know the latest laws of the Ministry of Magic? In the future, the property of the Death Eater families in Azkaban will be re-liquidated by people sent by the Ministry of Magic. Your uncle is still squatting there, right? It is unknown whether your money will still be yours in the future. Why are you so crazy?"

"Evelyn, calm down." An equally tall blonde beauty reached out and pressed her shoulders. "You're already a prefect, why are you still so easily angered? If you're like this during the game, how can you accurately shoot the Quaffle?"

"I understand, Audrey." The ponytailed girl named Evelyn sat back in her seat with a huff. Audrey smiled kindly, looked at the little eagles around her, and then glanced at Rosier who dared not speak, and said nothing more.

As for Rosier's seemingly valuable jeweled badge... no Slytherin cared about his things, and the Ravenclaws were eager to finish their meal and go back to their books, so they didn't give him any extra glances.

There were a few Gryffindor lions who were looking around, but they seemed not to want to have anything to do with Slytherin, and they just watched the fun from across the Ravenclaw table.

Only two figures came running to the Hufflepuff table, looking around nervously, and hesitantly glanced at Rosier, who had a dark face and was extremely irritable.

"Did he come here?" Sun Zhu whispered to Cedric, "He took away several unused clean plates and forks on the table. They are all made of gold. I wonder if the elves have counted them... If they are lost, I hope they won't be punished. Oh, it's all my fault. I have to find him quickly."

Audrey saw them from a distance and reached out to say hello, and Evelin, who was sitting next to her, curled her lips at them even though she looked unhappy.

Sun Zhu had no choice but to stop and nodded to them as a greeting.

They were all members of their respective college Quidditch teams. Although they had to go all out to win glory on the field, they were more familiar with each other than everyone else off the field.

"Don't worry, I did hear some noise here just now. That... little guy you mentioned, he has a name, right?" Cedric said in a gentle voice: "Don't blame yourself, after all, I heard that this kind of small animal is difficult to subdue. Should we tell Scar... Newt?"

Sun Zhu touched the necklace on his neck and said with a headache: "Let's find him first. If I remember correctly, his name should be Bob."

"Hey, you two!" Rosier shouted, "You two again? What are you doing here? Did you ask Peeves to steal my things?"
