The Chinese girl from Hufflepuff is both timid and brave

Sun Zhu subconsciously turned around and glanced at Cedric who was still sitting there watching them.

From the moment he heard the word "Philosopher's Stone", his heart could no longer calm down.

He remembered what Zhu had said to him before. It turned out that what she wanted to fight for was the legendary Philosopher's Stone.

The principal was not overly surprised by her request, nor did he deny it. In the end, he even agreed to it.

He thought he understood a little bit. The one who wanted to take away the Philosopher's Stone must be the mysterious man. Zhu was asking the principal to let her deal with the Philosopher's Stone - or even fight the mysterious man directly.

His heart shrank uncontrollably, not because of fear of the mysterious man's power, but because he couldn't imagine why they could agree on such an unusual thing.

Sun Zhu walked back to him, lowering his head: "If I tell you that I still can't explain all this to you, will you be angry?"

He stood stiffly, wanting to shake his head, but he just pursed his lips and said nothing.

"As expected, I will still be unhappy." She smiled instead, "I would be worried if you had no opinion on what I did."

Dumbledore looked at them quietly, but smiled without saying anything. Sun Zhu sat back beside him and said in a tangled tone, "I don't want you to worry, so there are some things I can never tell you - and I won't tell anyone else. But I can't keep everything from you, because that will only make you more worried, right?"

Cedric looked at her and said stiffly, "You think I can be unhappy about this, don't you?"

"Of course, if it were anyone else, they would have thought I was delusional." She looked at the principal, "I am not surprised by any of your reactions, and I accept them all."

"There are some things that only you know and only you can do, right?"

"I'm not the only one, but I think it would be better if I did it. I'm more careful than a lot of people."

"Does that include dealing with the You-Know-Who?"

"If he comes back, I think I won't be the only one who wants to deal with him."

"But, this is a very dangerous thing for you." He saw the principal nodded not far away, "If Uncle Sun knew about this, he might not be able to accept it."

"So I'm asking you to cover for me. I'm also asking the headmaster to explain to Mr. Flamel for me - although this sounds like a blank check, I will find a way to provide him with other things that can maintain immortality."

Tongzi's shop does have elixirs with similar effects - although they can't maintain immortality, they can still keep one young and prolong life.

"Oh, there is no need for that." Dumbledore shook his head. "Mr. Flamel no longer cares about this. He and his wife plan to say goodbye to us. I will also be in charge of the Philosopher's Stone."

Sun Zhu was stunned for a moment, and once again felt guilty for his narrow-mindedness.

This magical world is full of great and outstanding people. They not only have excellent abilities, but also noble character. They cannot be compared with an ordinary person with a golden finger.

Sun Zhu looked at the principal eagerly again. Although she still didn't tell him anything, she made a request to him based on a tacit understanding. And he seemed to be very interested and wanted to see what she could accomplish.

He rarely saw someone like this, someone who was both confident and timid, brave and cowardly.

"I understand." Cedric also stood up and bowed to the headmaster. "Please testify for me that I will never let anyone else know what happened today, even my closest people."

"You..." Sun Zhu looked at his actions, "Are you relieved?"

"It seems that you can only solve the problem completely if you continue to persevere. Giving up halfway is the most dangerous. You could have kept this from me. It would have been easy to avoid me and talk to the principal alone. So now, of course, I have to support you as much as you trust me."

"Yes, I've been targeted, so I can't be a coward anymore." Sun Zhu smiled, "It's great that you think so. And please believe me, it's definitely not as dangerous as you think... I have many secret weapons."

"May I know?" Dumbledore smiled.

"Ahem... I told you it's a secret. What I can tell you is that a surprise will come to Malfoy Manor tonight. I just said some nonsense to those Death Eaters, but they have believed it, so I have to continue with this play. This can also prevent them from causing some extra trouble. But maybe I need your cooperation..."

"It sounds like a crazy move." Dumbledore put the pocket watch back into the inner pocket of his robe. It was supposed to match the suit, but Dumbledore liked this weird way of matching. He put his glasses in his breast pocket again. "If we can give them a chance, I hope we can have fewer enemies."

"I understand, Principal." Sun Zhu nodded. She always knew that Dumbledore was a tolerant person. He would accept anyone who made a mistake but was willing to turn back.

But this kind of tolerance needs to be supported by one's own strength. If it were any other person with low ability, even if he had such a broad mind, he would probably have been completely humiliated.

"I can give you what you want. It's just a bait, a bait that can't be taken away." Dumbledore picked up a piece of cream cake with a fork and took a bite slowly. "Its residual value lies in verifying some of my ideas. If you want to get it, then as you said, go for it yourself."

Sun Zhu looked at Dumbledore, who was smiling like an old fox, and guessed, "You hid it in a place that requires many trials to reach?"

"You have guessed it." Dumbledore wiped his hands elegantly with his napkin. "It is in the mirror that you are most familiar with."

Sure enough, it was the same test that Harry and the others were going to face.

"Then I'll take him with me, do you allow me?"

"Of course, I have always believed in the power of partners."

Cedric was a little confused: "Are we going to find the Philosopher's Stone together?"

"Yes. It's a good opportunity for me to be a guinea pig for the principal and try out the levels."

Harry and the others will have to go through the same test in the future, but this time she can feel it first.

"Good luck to you." Dumbledore waved his hand, and the door of the Room of Requirement opened gently.
