The Chinese girl from Hufflepuff is both timid and brave

Sun Zhu tried to play dumb, but after thinking for a moment, he felt that it was unnecessary. He just looked at Anna and waited for her next words.

After all, Senior Sister Anna is one of us, and there is no need to keep it secret who made Mr. Long's "agent". But this golden cup...

"Senior, so you know the one who lives in Hogsmeade..."

"I don't know where he lives now, but I can tell you that his name is Bruce Carey, and he's my uncle. Although we're not related by blood, I haven't seen him for a long time." Anna nodded, "I have a lot of his works at home, and each one has a carrot carved on it. It's said that this is his favorite food..."

"What, carrots?" Sun Zhu was stunned. "Where are the carrots? Why don't I see any of them?"

"That golden... tail. That day it sprayed water at a Ravenclaw in the dining room, damaging his books and being chased for several laps. I was afraid something might happen, so I grabbed its tail and saw a familiar mark on it. It was inconspicuous, only the size of a little fingernail, and I thought I was seeing things. But do you see one on the inside of the handle of this golden cup?"

Sun Zhu leaned over to take a closer look and found that there was indeed a small mark, but it was not a radish. She was not sure, so she just asked curiously: "But senior sister, why are you sure that I know about this?"

"Weren't you also at the auction that day?"

"Fina, Karina, and Seide, they are all here."

"But that flying gold is yours."

"Okay, but this is a matter that the Ministry of Magic has the final say on. I can't make any crucial decisions."

"You actually admitted it just like that?" Anna touched her chin. "I just came to ask you because I was worried. After all, Hufflepuffs shouldn't lie like this... But it seems that you really don't know the details."

In fact, she really knew, but it was inconvenient to say it. This feeling of being full of secrets is really not pleasant.

"Well, I didn't expect that great genius alchemist is your uncle." Sun Zhu decided to change the subject. "You can recognize his works, so you must have a deep relationship with him."

"Quite the opposite. In fact, he is only a few years older than me. When my grandfather brought him back from the orphanage... ahem, anyway, I could just run around the house, and he was only seven or eight years old."

Then he is probably in his twenties this year. Sun Zhu tried to recall the appearance of this "Bruce" and felt that he looked older than his actual age.

"He didn't talk much after he came back, but I was more lively. Grandfather said he was a rare genius. Although he didn't seem to really integrate into the Carey family, everyone was very tolerant of him according to Grandfather's wishes." Anna seemed to be recalling the past, and then shook her head, "Of course, it was what we thought was tolerance. Because my parents only had me, and then they told Grandfather that they only needed me as a child in the future. Grandfather also had only my father as a child, so of course he was very dissatisfied and brought Bruce back. Ha, don't you think it's incredible? He thought Bruce was a genius. He was only seven or eight years old, but he showed an incredible talent for alchemy. Any invention he wanted to make, Grandfather would satisfy him."

Sun Zhu stared blankly at Anna with a self-deprecating look on her face, not knowing how to respond.

"At first, I had a good relationship with him because I found that this little uncle could always make a lot of strange toys for me. But when I grew up, I realized that my grandfather didn't like me, and he didn't like my parents either. He placed all his hopes on this person who had no blood relationship with him, just because he was gifted."

Sun Yuanbao, who was lying on Anna's knees, flicked his tail and shook off the jersey covering her. Sun Zhu bent down to pick it up and heard Anna sighing, "What a pity, this kind of conditional love can be easily taken away. After he turned eleven, his grandfather found that he did not receive the admission letter from Hogwarts, and then he learned from Headmaster Dumbledore that Bruce was identified as a Squib by the Book of Admission. It's ridiculous that a natural alchemist is actually a Squib. How do you think he made these alchemical products?"

"I don't know. I asked him this question at the time, and he said that geniuses always have some special qualities. I think that's what he answered."

In fact, his words were quite rude at that time, but in front of senior Anna, it was better not to say bad things about her uncle.

"Then he naturally noticed the change in his grandfather's attitude. Although he was not kicked out of the house, the gap between them would naturally be noticed by any teenager. Later, a year before I entered Hogwarts, he left a letter saying that he would try to find the alchemy secrets in other places. He also said that he would work hard to make money and return all the money he had spent from the Carey family over the years." Anna shrugged. "If I hadn't received the gold galleons he sent back in the past few years, I would have thought he had died outside."

Sun Zhu suddenly understood why that guy valued money so much. It turned out that he wanted to pay off his debts. Although, maybe the Kaili family didn't mean to ask him to pay it back, but...

Seeing that Anna looked inexplicably depressed, Sun Zhu changed the subject again: "Ah, I remember you said at the beginning that he was a crybaby..."

"I gradually disliked him when I was a child, and I often played tricks on him with onions." Anna did not hide it, "And he really is not very courageous. Every time I told him a ghost story, he would be scared and cry. He insisted that he was not afraid, but just thought the stories written by the other party were too bad. Tsk, he said it as if he could write."

"Have you ever seen him write it?" Sun Zhu asked subconsciously.

Anna was silent for a moment, then shook her head and said, "I don't really know him."

"He should still be in Hogsmeade. There's a path a little further past the Hog's Head Inn. If you walk to the end of the path, you'll see him..."

Anna waved her hand: "I'm very busy. I said so much because I'm worried that this fake gold cup will be discovered by others and then exposed. So I reminded you. Zhu, I know you have a way to pass it on. And don't worry, although I don't know what you are going to do, I will keep it a secret."

"Actually, I really don't know anything." Sun Zhu sighed.

Anna smiled, and seemed to have immediately returned to her former self who could handle anything.

For some unknown reason, Sun Zhu suddenly asked, "Senior, what kind of food do you like to eat?"

Anna was stunned for a moment, then hesitated and said, "Pumpkin, should be counted as one."
