The Chinese girl from Hufflepuff is both timid and brave

"Hey, Zhu, are you okay?" Cedric gently touched her forehead, bringing Sun Zhu back to her senses, who was frozen in place by the principal's words.

"One, one hundred points?"

"Yes, one hundred percent."

Dumbledore wiped his glasses and began to slowly trim his long beard: "I'm so sorry, I'm old and talk too much. You don't dislike me as an old guy, do you?"

"Please tell us more. We love to hear it." Sun Zhu looked at him with starry eyes. "Do you have any other mirrors? I can help you break them all!"

Dumbledore's hands trembled and he almost pulled out a few strands of his beard.

He turned his gaze to Cedric, and this Hufflepuff's famously good student did not disappoint the headmaster.

"Well, what about the last diary? Where is it now? Zhu only got six of them."

Dumbledore slowly sat back at the table, picked up the slightly hot black tea, took a sip, and then said slowly: "In the hands of Chris Selwyn. Yes, he did destroy Pomona's medicine field, but it can't be entirely blamed on him."

Sun Zhu jumped up from the sofa and yelled, "Damn! This rubbish, I said it was him! He is simply..."

Cedric covered her mouth with his hand and said "Fuck!". Sun Zhu looked at him in protest, but he whispered in her ear, "Think about the extra points, think about the college cup."

Well, it was not nice to swear in front of the principal, and it also damaged her image as an obedient student.

She nodded reluctantly, and Cedric finally released his hand.

But the loss of 20 experience points and a bunch of jewel accessories that were worth a lot of money but would never be worn outside still made Sun Zhu angry.

"It's my fault as the principal. Human nature is indeed the most fragile thing in the world."

"Oh..." Sun Zhu replied dryly, "What test did you give him? What's the secret in his diary?"

"His diary and this one are the same. They both contain some of Tom's memories as a teenager. They can answer questions written in the diary, accompany conversations, and lure the holder to do certain things. They can even teach him some advanced or even forbidden magic. I underestimated the harm of Tom as a teenager."

Sun Zhu half opened his mouth, genuinely surprised: "What? Same as Lao Liu... and this diary? But I don't think it's harmful. It doesn't look very smart and has a bad temper, just like an artificial idiot that is both brainless and unhappy."

"Well...Tom is actually a very good at deceiving people. He..."

"Wait a minute." Cedric couldn't help interrupting the principal for the first time: "Excuse me, who is Tom?"

"Ahem..." Sun Zhu nodded hurriedly. "The title page of the diary says Tom Riddle. Who is he?"

Cedric glanced at her with a complicated expression, but quickly turned his gaze back and continued to stare at Dumbledore.

"Oh... He's not a very remarkable person."

Sun Zhu felt that this statement seemed somewhat familiar, as if other people had also commented on Noseless Lao Fu in this way.

"He is the mysterious man you are talking about, the second generation Dark Lord."

Cedric cast a shocked look at Sun Zhu. It was rare for the usually calm and composed leader of the Badger College to be so uneasy.

"Zhu, didn't you say that this Tom is someone you know...your friend?" Although he was shocked, he tried his best to lower his voice and said, "How could he be the mysterious man?"

"It's a long story..." Sun Zhu rolled his eyes, "I'll tell you after I figure out how to make it short."

Cedric pursed his lips and asked, "Do you have a friend named Tom?"

"No, there's no way I'm friends with the Dark Lord. Oh, and the owner of the Broken Axe is also called Tom, but I'm not familiar with him."

Cedric nodded: "Then... the rest is not important. Principal, you just said that this soup... the mysterious man is good at bewitching people, and then what?"

Sun Zhu hugged the soft pillow on the sofa guiltily and curled himself into it, trying to ease the embarrassment.

"Oh, Tom..." Dumbledore seemed to be laughing, but when he mentioned that man, he quickly put away his expression and sighed, "I don't know who can save him. If it was someone else who took him out of the orphanage instead of me, perhaps things would not be like this now."

"Yes, for sure." Sun Zhu replied sullenly, "If anyone else had brought the baby version of the Dark Lord home, they would have gone to see Merlin long ago. Principal, you are saving people, and your merits are immeasurable."

"Is that so?" asked Dumbledore.

"Of course, you also said that Tom has been a very dangerous person since he was a child. Even if he is an incomplete body with only some memories, he can still induce others to commit crimes... Come to think of it, what did Selwyn talk about with him? How could he do such a thing?!"

"I have no way of knowing this, but I really underestimated his allure to other immature pure-blood students. I have always known who has those diaries, and originally for some considerations..."

At this point, Dumbledore paused, looked at Sun Zhu, who was hugging a pillow with his eyelids propped up and looked listless, then looked at Cedric who was looking at him intently, took a sip of hot tea, and continued: "I let the diaries circulate among the students, thinking that something would happen, but you collected them all. So, in the end, only Selwyn had something happen."

Sun Zhu stood up from the sofa with a somersault: "You mean, if I hadn't gotten all the other books into my own hands, there might be more people like Selwyn who would have caused a lot of trouble?"

"Perhaps, after all, there are only two that are truly special," Dumbledore said, "The others are more like pranks, what do you think?"

"I think... I think I accidentally did something good again! Otherwise, maybe a bunch of people would run to Professor Sprout's greenhouse to cause trouble?"

Sun Zhu's face showed an expression that Dumbledore found familiar...

That was the look of someone wanting to rip him bald.

He quickly picked up the hot tea and took a sip, then said softly, "So... let me handle this matter. I will give you a proper solution, including Selwyn's rude behavior towards you in the restaurant. Of course, please tell Miss Baker and Miss Robinson about this matter so that they don't worry anymore."

"Senior sisters Cecilia and Michelle? They actually came to you to complain?" Sun Zhu was a little surprised.

"I have to say that Miss Baker is a very perceptive person." Dumbledore's eyes seemed to sparkle behind his glasses. "I am glad that she is graduating this year."
