The Chinese girl from Hufflepuff is both timid and brave

Sun Zhu looked at the black and yellow badgers hanging in the auditorium and felt mixed emotions.

Good news, Hufflepuff won both the House Cup and the Quidditch Cup this year.

Bad news, in a little while, when Dumbledore walks in, the badger flag here will be replaced with the red and gold Gryffindor lion flag.

The excited badgers around me were already banging their bowls, and students were taking their seats one after another, with joy on everyone's face.

Gryffindor was happy that the damned snakes didn't win first place, Slytherin consoled himself that at least the winner wasn't the stupid lion, Ravenclaw said that if it wasn't theirs, the other results wouldn't have made much difference. Hufflepuff, who already had the advantage in numbers, boosted the atmosphere of the whole place, so that more than 90% of the people were in high spirits, although they themselves probably didn't know what they were happy about.

Sun Zhu felt more and more bitter. He used to think that Dumbledore's temporary extra points at the end-of-term dinner, which directly increased Gryffindor from last to first, was a pleasant thing for readers who only empathized with the protagonist. But for the Slytherins at that time, wasn't it cruel? Even if their high scores might not be so legitimate, if they could be mentally prepared in advance, perhaps they would not be so embarrassed.

Now, Sun Zhu felt that she had experienced this bitterness. For the first time, she had a strong empathy with the Slytherin in the original book. Even though she knew about it in advance and was prepared, she still felt that this news was a little hard to digest, let alone other Hufflepuffs who were unaware of it?

She reached out and patted Karina, who had been very excited, and asked, "What are the scores of the four colleges?"

"Hufflepuff 582, Slytherin 508, Ravenclaw 482, Gryffindor 422." Carina remembered this string of numbers very well. "We are far ahead!"

Sun Zhu rubbed his temples and calculated in his mind.

Slytherin has advantages in many aspects. Not only are the snakes excellent and good at fighting, but also because they are strictly disciplined by Professor Snape, they basically dare not cause trouble and lose points - although young masters like Draco are not an exception, they are not the majority either.

Ravenclaws are low-key and hardworking. They rank among the top in all exams and get a lot of extra points. They are steady and cautious, not standing out to be targeted, and not slacking off in their studies, so they are generally not far behind Slytherins. In fact, if it weren't for the fact that they have been losing in Quidditch games, the Eagles would have been the biggest threat to the Snakes in the past few years.

Needless to say, Gryffindor, the college that is the least conformist, is the most active in all aspects, but it also has the greatest variables.If time is used as the horizontal axis, and the colleges are divided into vertical axes, their scores can be arranged in a zigzag line, unlike other colleges, which generally rise steadily and occasionally decline—one can tell that it is Gryffindor at a glance style of.After all, they often have a large amount of points deducted suddenly, and they will suddenly get a lot of points again.

Hufflepuffs neither compete with Ravenclaw for extra points in class nor compete with Gryffindor for deductions in daily life. In previous years, they would not compete with Slytherin for the Quidditch Cup on the Quidditch field. Therefore, over the years, how many points they can get and what ranking they have are basically up to fate. When things go wrong, Badgers are generally flexible, and most professors will not focus on deductions. In recent years, they have been competing with Gryffindor, who are always busy, for the third place.

But the past two years have been different. Hufflepuff has shown unprecedented enthusiasm in Quidditch and has won many victories - although everyone can see that it was not easy for them to win. Therefore, they have a great advantage in the competition for the College Cup.

I thought this advantage could be maintained forever, but unfortunately, big changes have appeared in Gryffindor this year.Sun Zhu looked at the Lion President's table at the far end, only to see Hermione and Ron anxiously looking towards the door frequently.

"Zhu, what are you looking at?" Karina looked over curiously, "Are you worried about your brother Potter?"

"That's about right." She smiled. "It doesn't feel good to not have all the people present at this kind of event."

"The headmaster hasn't arrived yet. I heard that Potter was injured in a fight with a Death Eater. He should be dealing with that matter." Fina also noticed the unusual movements in Gryffindor.

Most of them were very excited, even if they took the last place, but a big shot came out of them—even though it was only a freshman, the impact was not small at all, which made them extremely proud.Such a cool thing, of course, is more worth showing off than the Academy Cup, and after seeing the ashen faces of a few Slytherins, the lions' mood became brighter.

"I guess you have some other thoughts in your mind?" Cedric looked at Sun Zhu who frowned unconsciously and sighed softly, "Well, you don't seem happy even after winning the College Cup. Is there something else going to happen?"

"You guessed it, right? What Neville told us has already happened, and Harry and the others have passed the test. The difference is that they also worked together to defeat Voldemort." Sun Zhu whispered, "What reward do you think Dumbledore will give them?"

Cedric tilted his head, pursed his lips and thought for a moment, then said, "Well, give them the house cup?"

"You are so smart."

"I wish I wasn't that smart." He smiled, "But this is indeed a remarkable thing. Even most people in Slytherin can't have any objection to it."

"Yeah, but I'm just... biased. After all, I'm not a Gryffindor, so it's a pity." She thought of the time she covered for Norbert for Harry and the others, and maybe she also regretted today's embarrassment The scene contributed a lot.

After all, keeping Gryffindor from being deducted points would be a blow to my teammates in the current situation. She folded her arms and lay on the table with a guilty conscience: "Forget it, I'll try harder next year!"

Cedric nodded, and looked at the yellow and black layout in the auditorium again, feeling a little regretful, but that was all.

Dumbledore arrived late with Harry. At this time, all the students and teachers who had arrived in the hall looked at them.

Harry ran towards his two friends, but was surrounded by the lions that gathered around him, blocking her view. Sun Zhu reluctantly looked away and looked at Dumbledore, but unexpectedly met his gaze.

Dumbledore smiled at her and cleared his throat, and the noisy hall fell silent. He announced calmly that he would say a few words, and after introducing the scores of the four colleges, he briefly mentioned the fate of Quirrell, who was considered a Death Eater - he was being rescued on the fifth floor of St. Mungo's. Harry and the other two needed to be rewarded for successfully defeating him and protecting the Philosopher's Stone.

"Ron Weasley, with his superb chess skills and courage to sacrifice himself, won 50 points for Gryffindor... Hermione Granger, with her calm reasoning, wisdom and courageous determination, won 50 points for Gryffindor..."

Sun Zhu heard Karina clapping her hands loudly - she was really applauding for them and looked more excited than some Gryffindors.

"Harry Potter fearlessly resisted an evil force several times stronger than himself, and held on to the bottom line until the end, practicing the most important spirit of Gryffindor. For this, I will reward him with 60 points."

Karina was stunned for a moment, stretched out her fingers and started to bend them, then was completely dumbfounded.
