The Chinese girl from Hufflepuff is both timid and brave

Harry felt that he was really unlucky this semester. Before the school even started, he was harassed by a house-elf that appeared out of nowhere. The problem was that after doing something bad, the elf immediately banged his head against the wall and cried, then knelt down to apologize, which made him unable to even get angry.

It slandered Sun Zhu, whom it regarded as a sister, but refused to explain the specific reasons. It cried when asked, and then shouted about self-harm, just repeating "She is a devil, she deceived everything."

Harry was certainly not a fool who could not tell right from wrong, nor was he a coward who was easily intimidated. He had dared to confront Voldemort's lackeys a few months ago, so how could he give in so easily? He protested for a while, but due to the dangerous external conditions, he had to bow his head when living in his uncle's house, and because he was only twelve years old, he could not defeat a crazy elf in all aspects.

He was imprisoned by it in the name of the most respectful thing. If it weren't for his reliable and careful friend who discovered the abnormality, he might really not be able to go to Hogwarts to study.

After learning that it was Hermione who first discovered that he was "missing", and that Ron acted decisively and rescued him from the dire situation together with Fred and George, he simply had the urge to treat Weasley as his second home.

Unfortunately, the elf did not leave, but just hid more secretly. He even implicated Ron, causing him to receive a Howler and lose face in front of the whole school, causing Uncle Arthur to lose his flying car, and causing Gryffindor to be deducted points at the beginning of the school year.

He didn't even know how to pin these evil deeds on Dobby - he already knew that it was the Malfoy family elf, but he didn't understand its ultimate purpose.

Even though there was a voice in his heart telling him that Dobby could not be trusted and that his friend Sun Zhu was absolutely innocent, he still subconsciously dodged when he saw her.

Are you afraid of Dobby's threat, or are you slightly shaken by his tireless reminders?

His friends knew nothing about his troubled state of mind, and his professors were unaware of his experience - he did not think this was something worth seeking help for, and even though he was already in a very difficult situation, his intuition reminded him that this matter was not actually dangerous, but just a test for him.

Ron didn't care about being implicated, he even had the time to bicker with Hermione and belittle Lockhart in front of her - of course, Harry felt that Ron was right. He didn't understand why Hermione, who had been so keen to discover her ominous situation before, would be deceived by such a fool?

Maybe he had also been deceived, just like Hermione, but the "liar" was not as easy to identify as Lockhart, but he also had a beautiful and harmless appearance that was highly deceptive.

Damn it! Harry hit his head hard. He didn't understand what he was thinking and how he could have such an idea.

"Harry! Do you think your rude behavior is right?" Hermione ran to him angrily and accused: "Even if you think Professor Lockhart is not worthy of liking, you always do this in front of me. Childish provocation...that's why he looks cuter than you!"

Harry cast a blank look at Ron who was making a face. He said with a headache, "Please, I have no idea what's going on! But, but Hermione... maybe you are even more confused than me! I really... Oh, Merlin, who can tell me what I should do?"

Hermione frowned again, "What's wrong with you, Harry? You've been distracted for a while, is it Voldemort——"

"Oh, don't mention him. I'm already unlucky enough. Hermione, can you leave me alone for a moment?" Harry rubbed his brow. This name reminded him of the nonsense Dobby had been whispering in his ear.

What conspiracy, what disguise, what curse and deception.

It's not that he didn't want to tell her these things, but he himself didn't understand what they all meant.

And Dobby's words would definitely make Hermione extremely angry - although according to her, Sun Zhu did not support Lockhart, Hermione did not have a grudge against Sun Zhu like she did against Ron.

So she would definitely speak out to defend Sun Zhu, which might cause Dobby to target her as well - he really wasn't sure about the elf's code of conduct. After all, he had locked himself and Ron outside Platform 9 3/4 at the beginning of the school year.

As for Ron, he knew exactly what had happened to Harry, but he insisted that it was all a conspiracy by the Malfoy family. Sending their own house elves to harass Harry, sow discord between him and his friends, disturb his mind, and prevent him from going to school - these were definitely things that Malfoy could do.

"Don't believe anything it says, because its owner is Malfoy! But don't always confront it. Although I don't have this kind of elf at home, I know that their power is terrible. Find an opportunity to teach it and the Malfoys a lesson! But before that, we can't let Gryffindor lose points because of it."

Harry followed his good friend's advice and continued to be careful and cautious. This place was different from his uncle's house, so he was not as restrained, but he was also afraid that something would happen that would embarrass him.

If there is really no other way, then find an opportunity to tell all this to the godfather, the dean or the headmaster. He thought so, but it was not easy to implement in practice. For example, if the dean did not let Professor McGonagall see it with her own eyes, she would not believe it. Harry knew his dean's style of doing things very well, so he had no choice but to find an opportunity to remind Sun Zhu to be careful.

Although he felt that she was much more capable than himself, and even had a slight suspicion of her for a second - he thought that there must be something wrong with his mental state. Of course, he could not betray his friends like Peter Pettigrew. So, even though he felt that she would not be like him, completely helpless against the elves, he still used Neville's help to remind her - this was also to explain his abnormality to her, because she had obviously noticed his alienation.

Even though he hadn't explained everything clearly, he had tried his best. He hadn't even told anyone else except Ron.

Because of his indifference, Hermione was no longer willing to say anything to him and Ron, and instead became more and more obsessed with Lockhart.

Perhaps she really couldn't be blamed. After all, Ron had said that even his mother, Mrs. Molly, who was such a kind and loving witch, was fascinated by Lockhart, and no matter how smart Hermione was, she was only in the second grade.

Please, don't let anything bad happen.

Harry walked out of the Quidditch training ground while praying. He had just watched the Ravenclaw freshman selection and saw that Qiu Zhang had been successfully selected as a regular team member, which brought him a lot of comfort.

In less than a month, this semester's Quidditch competition will begin, and he will be able to face her head-on on the field!

He had been unlucky for so long, first Dobby, then the estrangement of several of his friends, and the fickle Snape - Headmaster Dumbledore had said that Snape meant him no harm, but Harry still found him a little unbearable - now finally something went his way!

Come to think of it, he seemed to have not seen Dobby for at least half a month. What happened? After he handed Sun Zhu the reminder note, she did not pay any extra attention to him. Was it because she did not receive it, or was she angry?

Harry's heart, which had just jumped for joy, sank slightly again. Why did he always have to think about such complicated questions?

He raised his hand to touch his scar, but was suddenly bumped by a passerby and stumbled.

"Sorry! I'm so sorry!" the man apologized quickly. Harry glanced at his yellow academic robes and recognized him. "McMillan?"

"Yes, it's me. Potter, are you all right?"

"I'm fine, you look a little flustered, what happened?"

"Haven't you heard? This matter has been spread all over Hufflepuff!" Ernie looked surprised, "Don't Gryffindor know anything?"

"I think it's because I've been a little introverted lately. I mean, I've been busy, so I haven't paid attention." Although he had no idea what was going on, Harry retorted subconsciously. He certainly didn't want to admit that there was something that Hufflepuff knew but Gryffindor knew nothing about.

"Oh, I see." Ernie said without further hesitation, "In that case, I advise you to hurry back, it's getting late. Don't you know that the secret room in the school has been opened? There are terrible monsters that will come out at night to eat people! Well, I have to find Neville. He has gone to find his toad again. Although the monster doesn't eat pure-bloods, he is so timid that he will definitely be scared. Potter, you are also a half-blood. Although you are safer than a Muggle, I think you'd better be more careful!"

"The Chamber of Secrets? What is that?" Harry's eyes widened. "A man-eating monster? Isn't it said that Hogwarts is the safest place in the British wizarding world?"
