The Chinese girl from Hufflepuff is both timid and brave

“Can’t you tell the truth to me?” Newt laughed. “I don’t mean to compete with you.”

Sun Zhu pretended to cry, and then simply said: "He is my friend, not my property... But, where did I reveal myself?"

Newt smiled even more happily: "Friend? I like this description. In fact, it is not difficult to find this out. From your appearance to his disappearance, it was all too coincidental. But there is no tangible evidence. Everything depends on the indescribable tacit understanding between me and these magical animals."

Sun Zhu let out a long "oh" and then said, "Do you want to meet him? Although he has a bad temper, I don't think he will hate you... But you have to coax him a little."

"Can I see it?" Newt's tone rose three degrees. Sun Zhu had never heard him so excited before. "I thought it... he couldn't be peeped at casually. From the records in the Chinese classics I found, this is a beast that is more sacred than the Qilin. It is the belief of the Chinese people and is named after their ancestors."

"That's absolutely right. Your information is very reliable." Sun Zhu snapped his fingers and saw Newt's amber eyes sparkling. "But just as everyone has a different personality, every dragon has a different temperament... Well, I only know one Chinese dragon."

Newt seemed to have turned into an obedient elementary school student, listening attentively to her every word, afraid of missing any information. Sun Zhu said a little embarrassedly: "But I'm afraid it won't be of any help to your research, because I'm sure there is no other Chinese dragon in the world except him. Even if you use him as a sample, record all his words and deeds, and say that this is a Chinese dragon... people will only think it's a fantasy. Because except for his appearance that is very consistent with the records in the classics, he doesn't look like a real Chinese dragon in any other way."

“Why? Because the sample… is too small?” Newt tilted his head, a lock of curly hair covering his eyes, making him look more like a hungry student.

"There are indeed reasons why we cannot generalize." Sun Zhu sighed, "But the more important thing is that what we see is not the real him."

She picked up a soft pillow with a Niffler image on it and pointed at it. “It’s like you’re studying this species based on the Niffler on this pillow. Apart from being able to describe its appearance, you can’t do anything else. Even its appearance can’t be considered accurate… because the Chinese dragon is also diverse. After all, even it itself doesn’t know how many of its own kind it is.”

Newt nodded slightly and saw the girl opposite him lowering her head slightly, mumbling to herself as if in a dream: "After all, this is not his home, and I will never be able to see what the real him is like. He is like a specimen trapped in a frame now, and I have to find a way to break the glass."

"So, what can I do for him?" Newt asked, "Such a mysterious and powerful creature, once you see it, you will never forget it. What kind of power can even bind him?"

"It's this world that's trapped him." Sun Zhu shook his head. "In fact, each of us is a tool trapped in this world, but this dragon is the last one who should accept this fate. To change this situation, the most important thing to do now is to eliminate the Dark Lord in advance."

Newt paused, as if helpless and sighing: "I just wanted to hear you talk about the recent situation of that big guy who I only met a few times. But you admitted everything in front of me."

"What did I admit?" Sun Zhu sat on his sofa without any hesitation. "I only admitted that I took away the dragon that the Ministry of Magic had finally caught. I didn't tell you how I took it away and where he is now."

Newt coughed lightly. "I don't care about these things. Just like I sometimes reasonably conceal part of the truth for the safety of those big guys and small guys... But, you can say so calmly that you want to destroy the Dark Lord. Don't forget that you are a third-year student."

"That doesn't prove anything." Sun Zhu, who knew that his image had collapsed in front of Newt, was stubborn and said, "It only proves that I'm a very brave person. Even if I'm a Hufflepuff, I can be very brave!"

"I agree with that." Newt closed the book Fantastic Beasts. "But as I once said to Dumbledore, there are some things that don't need to be investigated. As long as the purpose is the same, the motivation is not even that important."

"Actually." Sun Zhu couldn't help but say, "I have basically admitted everything in front of Dumbledore."

Newt almost lost his grip on the book in his hand, and looked suspiciously at the girl who was unconsciously scratching his sofa with her paws: "Admit what? I think Principal Dumbledore might have been fooled by the former Dark Lord." Out of it, something similar to post-disaster trauma, when he sees some unusual students, he will worry that TA will repeat the same mistakes."

"Maybe... but I do have many secrets. I can't tell you what they are, but I admit that I have told many lies and kept many things in my heart."

"Zhu, in fact, every child of your age has some things that he doesn't want to tell anyone." Newt shook his head, "But the kind of people that Dumbledore will be particularly vigilant or concerned about usually have certain characteristics. For example, unusual blood relationships that even he himself is not very clear about, some talents and skills that are too outstanding and different from ordinary people, a series of lucky and unlucky physiques that cannot be explained by coincidence, and possibly more extreme interpersonal relationships - either very popular or always targeted. And you..."

"I seem to meet all the requirements." Sun Zhu wanted to laugh. "Although not all the requirements are met, they are not too far apart. But don't worry, compared to being the protagonist who attracts everyone's attention, what I expect more is that the people around me, whether they are the protagonist or the supporting role, can choose to be themselves. If he has no choice, then I will help him open up another option. As long as I pay attention to them, I will take care of their affairs if conditions permit. Do you think this is feasible?"

Newt was stunned for a moment, as if in shock, but also as if expecting, and repeated the words she had heard many times: "Nothing is impossible. Hufflepuff can do anything she wants to do."
