The Chinese girl from Hufflepuff is both timid and brave

Sun Zhu squatted beside a cultivation field in the southwest corner of the third greenhouse and pulled at a few drooping grass leaves with his hands.

The emerald green leaves had turned yellow-green. Professor Sprout said that the moonlight grass that was about to mature had accumulated the most vigorous essence. If it was destroyed at this time, it would decay faster than the previous stage. According to her judgment, these were destroyed within half an hour.

"Host, their roots were cut off, so they became like this." Tongzi's scan results came, "But I have no way of knowing who did it, I can only judge based on the situation."

"Is there anything in the store that can save them?" Sun Zhu asked despite the pain.

"There are plant rapid growth liquid and inhibitory preservation liquid, which you used a long time ago. But this resurrection potion..." Tongzi seemed to be searching, "There is also limb-renewing pill here, which can theoretically be used for all living things, and should also be useful for plants, but..."

"It sounds unreliable... Is there nothing else?" Sun Zhu turned his head to glance at Cedric who was talking to Professor Sprout. In the moonlight, his profile was like a silent statue immersed in the sea of ​​time.

"Host, the Limb-Repairing Pill will take effect immediately if used within one hour after the injury occurs, but it must come into contact with the wound to be effective. The roots of these plants are hidden underground, so you can't dig them all out and apply them one by one..."

"Not only that, I don't know which root they broke off. Just looking at it makes me dizzy. It seems there is really no way to save it. Who is the wicked guy who did this?"

Every time she came to this point, she would want to sigh, why is there no surveillance here... Although Muggles are not yet popular with these, some necessary other preventive measures are still very useful. The lives of wizards seem to be more convenient than those of Muggles in all aspects, but why are they always a little careless in supervising crimes?

Sun Zhu shook his head helplessly, but caught a glimpse of a fluffy little creature poking its head out from Cedric's arms.

"Doesn't the immobilization talisman say it's effective for two hours?" Sun Zhu suddenly stood up from the ground.

"Yes, host, but the effect will gradually weaken. Now the Sniff still can't run away, but it has no problem moving its limbs."

"...What a pitfall, why didn't you say so earlier."

"The primary immobilization talisman is like this. If it is a high-level immobilization talisman worth 60..."

"Okay, stop talking." Sun Zhu simply took Sniff from Cedric's arms.

"I'm so sorry, Zhu, wait a moment, I need to inform Professor Snape and Madam Pomfrey about the situation here, and then I will help you..."

"Don't feel sorry, Professor Sprout." Sun Zhu said hurriedly, "Please do your thing first. I can talk to Sniffle again."

She squatted down again holding Sniff, and Cedric also bent down and looked at them: "What are you going to do?"

"Let's see if we can get Bob to make amends." Sun Zhu looked depressed. "Only a psychopath can do such a thing."

"This should have been done by an adult wizard or at least a senior student who has passed OWLS." Cedric simply squatted down beside her. "There is no damage on the surface of the leaves, no signs of disturbance in the soil, and no signs of spraying harmful potions or using offensive spells. The method is relatively covert and requires a high level of spellcasting."

"The injury is at the root. What kind of curse caused this damage?" Sun Zhu tried hard to search in his mind.

"Among the spells I know, the only one that can cause fractures through the air is the Splitting Spell. But with my current abilities, it's difficult to ensure that only the roots are damaged and the leaves are not harmed."

"That is to say, the person who did this has very precise control over the spell." Sun Zhu was more and more surprised the more he thought about it. "Why would someone with this ability deal with these harmless herbs? Professor Sprout has always been kind to others. Is there anyone who would do this specifically to take revenge on her?"

"I can't think of the reason. Perhaps some malice is without reason." Cedric looked at Sun Zhu, who was unconsciously stroking the plush in her hand and sniffing. Sniff's little eyes were full of irritability and helplessness.

"Maybe they want to target Hufflepuff." Sun Zhu guessed, "Do you think Selwyn is a big suspect?"

"Him? It seems... but Professor Snape also needs to use these herbs. He wouldn't do this, would he?"

"He seems to not even think highly of his own dean. I don't know how he can be so arrogant." Sun Zhu suddenly stood up, holding the Sniff in his hand, as if he had made up his mind.

"Let's try our best. No matter if there is a conspiracy or not, let's save these herbs first."

Cedric remained in a position with one leg kneeling on the ground and the other leg bent to support his body, looking up at Sun Zhu, who seemed to be chatting with Sniff.

"No, not this necklace. Anything else is fine. You can pick whatever you want."

"...Are you sure? There are 749 trees here. If you can save them all, I'll give you two more jewel brooches!"

"No, you still have to return what you took away. Those are not my things, I can't make the decision!"

"I'll give you 10 more gold galleons at most. Don't forget that you are still in my hands!"

"Come on, there are so many cracks in the soil underground, it's not a piece of cake for you. Could it be that you are not as powerful as your ancestors?"

"How did Newt raise you? You're so good at bargaining..."

"Of course, the stuff I gave you is very effective. As long as you can apply it accurately to the broken roots, you don't have to worry about the rest."

Professor Sprout had already left to look for someone, and now he was the only one who could hear her "talking to herself." He couldn't help but smile knowingly, and his heart danced in his chest with joy, as if he was the only one who discovered the most unique and interesting secret in the world.

Sun Zhu suddenly looked at him with a guilty look, and seeing his gentle and trusting expression, he quickly explained: "I... I'm not crazy, don't get me wrong. Well, although I'm not sure if it will work, anyway, giving it a try won't make things worse than it is now."

"It will definitely be useful." He whispered, "I believe you have the ability to do so."

"You're putting so much pressure on me!" Sun Zhu couldn't help but stick out his tongue, and then began to dislike himself for suddenly being so pretentious.

She reached out and took away the talisman paper on Xiu Xiu's body, then took out a small ceramic bottle from somewhere and put it in his hand.

"As a Niffler, you have to be honest. I am a Hufflepuff just like Newt. As long as you don't lie to me, I will definitely not lie to you, understand?"

"I see. You're so nagging." Bob seemed to want to roll his eyes, but unfortunately he had no whites in his eyes, so he couldn't do that.

"Go ahead, Pikachu..." Sun Zhu put him in the cultivation field, "Use them sparingly, just pick a small piece from each seed, you know!"

Sniff disappeared into the cracks in the ground.
