The Chinese girl from Hufflepuff is both timid and brave

Since there was nothing much to worry about, Sun Zhu was happy to rest for a few days.

As December is approaching, the Christmas atmosphere on the streets is becoming more and more intense.

Londoners' enthusiasm for Christmas is no less than that of the Chinese for the Lunar New Year. They may even start preparing for this day as early as October.

Similarly, wizards also attach great importance to this longest holiday of the year, even if they believe in Merlin.

But who doesn’t like taking a vacation?

However, the Sun family never treated Christmas with much ceremony in the past. On the one hand, it was because there were not many people in the family. However, the father and daughter - the father's parents died of illness before Sun Zhu was born. She only went to the cemetery with Sun Zhengxing a few times on the anniversary of the death, and they didn't mention it much in other days. As for the mother and her relatives who never appeared, they didn't exist at all.

On the other hand, Sun Zhengxing showed no enthusiasm for Christmas at all, and did not even realize that Sun Zhu, a "native" Londoner, had the same "cold" attitude towards it.

Someone in London said that after living here for ten years, she no longer knew when the Lunar New Year was, let alone other festivals. She would not pay attention to Christmas until she entered Hogwarts, when it was a luxurious holiday with a different meaning.

But this year is somewhat different from previous years. After all, in addition to the holiday, Christmas also involves exchanging gifts. She used to only make money but not spend it, so this time she may have to worry a lot.

"What should I do, system? I find that my communication skills seem to be zero. I have no idea how to prepare a gift. I can't leave this to my father because he doesn't know how to do it."

"Host, do you still plan to continue exchanging items from the store?" The system said, "We have changed the packaging and we guarantee that it won't make your friends feel weird."

"…Thank you, but that's not necessary. Money should be spent wisely."

The main reason is that she has nothing to exchange, and she hasn’t returned the 35 yet!

Save more for a rainy day.

Stockpiling is an instinct etched into the DNA of the Chinese people!

"How about I go to Hogsmeade again? There are a lot of shops there. Dad has given me a lot of pocket money over the years, both Muggle and wizard coins, enough for me to buy some gifts."

"Are you going to sneak off again?"

"Well, maybe I really need my dad to accompany me, otherwise he will worry." Sun Zhu was a little uncertain, "But the closer it gets to the holidays, the busier the Ministry of Magic gets. Although there's nothing to do in his department, he's easy to talk to, so he's always being asked to help out."

Although Sun Zhengxing works in the Department of Magical Games and Sports, he has worked in all other places except the Department of Mysteries on the ninth floor and the Minister's Office on the first floor.

A good old man who loves to worry and won't refuse. The key point is that he doesn't cheat and play tricks. He can help every time. He will be hell if he is not caught.

"My dad's learning ability is beyond doubt. I heard that my grandparents were great scholars. I don't know why they moved to London. I asked my dad but he wouldn't tell me, saying he didn't remember. He was the top student in Ravenclaw three times, got seven Os and two Es in OWLs, and got at least six NEWTs. Although he can't be compared with geniuses, he is still pretty impressive. After all, he is a Muggle-born wizard."

So he always felt that Sun Zhu would be a Ravenclaw in the future. If nothing else, just the enthusiasm she showed for reading every day showed that she loved learning.

But in fact, the book she read may have nothing to do with wizards or exams.

"Because your father is excellent and easy-going, he often has to do work that is not his responsibility?" The system is puzzled.

"Yes, but I think he can always spare the time to accompany me to buy gifts...right?"

Suddenly I remembered what he has been busy with recently. It seems that he is assisting officials from the Department of Magical Accidents and Catastrophes to erase the memories of Muggles.

The cause was naturally the incident between her and Mr. Long in Godric's Hollow not long ago.

It is said that the first people to notice it were the wizards living there, and they immediately notified the Ministry of Magic.

Later, as the dragon flew higher and higher, the Muggles living nearby also saw it, and some even took photos and recorded videos.

To this end, the Department of Magical Accidents and Catastrophes sent its Memory Deletion Command to the Muggle world to erase memories one by one and destroy the "miracles" recorded by Muggle technology. At the same time, officials from the Muggle Liaison Office were sent to contact the Muggle Prime Minister and tell him that all this was just a projection experiment.

Since the Muggles who saw the "dragon" were scattered all over the place and spread the news by word of mouth, the workload of the memory cancellation officers was very heavy.

They also considered turning to Newt, who was rumored to have handled similar cases in New York.

However, due to the dragon issue, some officials still had concerns about him, and out of some arrogance and stubbornness, the senior officials insisted on handling the matter within the Ministry of Magic.

Likewise, officials from the Department of Magical Law Enforcement were sent to assist, primarily to oversee the work of the amnesiacs.

The contents of those Muggle devices need to be cleared, but the memory cancellers often don't understand their construction and may destroy them violently, or leave magical residues that affect the Muggles' subsequent lives.

Sun Zhengxing, who was born into a Muggle family and knew a little about Muggle technology, and Arthur Weasley from the Office for the Prohibition of the Misuse of Muggle Artifacts became part of the aftermath handling team.

Although they may not be the actual executors, they are still not idle.

Thinking of this, Sun Zhu couldn't help but feel guilty. It seemed that her father had to work overtime these few times. Whether it was the appearance or disappearance of the dragon, it was all related to her.

Originally, she had asked Lord Long to put on a show at Godric's Hollow, with the intention of taking revenge on the Ministry of Magic. She knew they had a way to deal with the aftermath, so she didn't worry too much about the impact.

Who knew that he would end up shooting himself in the foot and bring disaster upon his own father.

But what she didn't know was that because of this work intersection, Sun Zhengxing and Arthur also became familiar with each other.

"I heard that Mr. Sun got a certificate in Muggle Studies in NEWTs?" Arthur sounded very curious.

"Yes, this is actually not a difficult task for a hemp-blooded wizard like me." Sun Zhengxing felt a little embarrassed.

"Oh, to be honest, Mr. Sun, I have always found Muggle technology very interesting. Their means of transportation, I mean cars with wheels, are quite convenient." Arthur laughed, "But what I find even more interesting is their means of transportation that can fly in the sky, I think they are called airplanes? I can't imagine that there is a way to fly in the sky without the help of a broomstick or a flying carpet."

"Indeed, the technological development of Muggles is truly remarkable." Sun Zhengxing smiled. "Although they cannot teleport, with the help of this magical means of transportation, they can travel from one country to another, and fly at very high altitudes."

"I've always been curious about the flying principle of this kind of vehicle. What is its structure?" Arthur muttered to himself, "If I figure it out, maybe I can make a car fly like that."

"...It's a very good idea." Sun Zhengxing continued to smile.
