The Chinese girl from Hufflepuff is both timid and brave

Sun Zhu was very surprised when she saw Percy in front of her. To be honest, when Daisy said that there was a Gryffindor looking for her at the door, she suspected everyone from Hermione and Ginny to Harry and Ron, and even the twins, but she never thought it would be Percy.

"Excuse me, are you free now? There is something I feel I must talk to you about." Percy stood at the door of the Defense Against the Dark Arts classroom with a serious expression.

"A little, but not much. I have to go to class soon, how about we make an appointment after class?"

Although it was okay for her not to attend the Defense Against the Dark Arts class, she couldn't just skip it.

"The prefects of each house will have a meeting later to discuss arrangements for night patrols." He frowned slightly with an expression that said, "I'm busy too," and said directly, "It's not a very complicated matter. I can explain it in one sentence. I hope you can take back the skateboards from Fred and George. I don't know what tricks they use to avoid Filch and the prefects' night patrols every time. They are elusive and always like to add to our workload after curfew."

"Ah, uh, this..." That was probably because they had the Marauder's Map, so hiding from Filch was not a piece of cake. As for the skateboard, because Sun Zhu had asked them to investigate rumors in the school for her, they successfully tracked her down to several seniors who had close ties with the Malfoys. To express gratitude, it was no big deal to share a few small gadgets with friends.

"We used to be able to catch them, but ever since that weird thing..." Percy wrinkled his nose in disgust, "They always get away without ever learning a lesson!"

"Why do we have to catch them?" Sun Zhu blurted out. Seeing Percy's surprised expression, she added, "Don't you realize that no matter what you do, whether you care or not, you can't make them listen to you? In this case, it's better not to interfere. You can still maintain some brotherly feelings. After all, apart from violating some school rules, they haven't done anything excessive, right?"

"They have already violated hundreds of school rules this semester!" Percy's forehead veins jumped. "I didn't expect you to think this way. Just because it's useless, you won't do it? If everyone is like them, won't the school rules become a decoration? How can we guarantee the discipline of Hogwarts and the safety of students at night?"

"Don't get excited. I don't mean to let you indulge me. But since your discipline is completely useless, why don't you try another method? It's really inconvenient for me to take back the things I lent out in advance. The most I can do is to persuade them. However, you know that even Uncle Arthur and Aunt Molly can't ask them to do anything..." Sun Zhu glanced at the place not far away with a headache. Lockhart's annoying figure had already appeared. She really didn't want to stay here and discuss this topic with Percy - it was obvious that neither of them could convince the other.

But it was really impossible for her to ignore it. This semester, because of her idea, the basilisk appeared frequently at night. Besides Harry, the most troubled were the ignorant prefects.

According to the original development, although the basilisk would appear to harass students under the instructions of the diary-master, it would definitely not be as frequent as it is now.

The diary-maker was not strong enough, and was afraid of being discovered and stopped by Dumbledore and the others. But Sun Zhu had no such concerns. In order to give Harry enough stimulation, the basilisk almost worked 777 hours a day - appearing at pm and disappearing at am, seven days a week without a break. Although it only really worked after meeting Harry, it still had to continue acting when it met other students.

The prefects were very worried about this, but the students, especially the younger Gryffindors, were even more excited.

Even though there were a few "murdered" students, none of them actually died. They were even transferred to St. Mungo's as soon as the incident happened. No one saw with their own eyes how miserable the students who were petrified by the basilisk were.

The righteous Gryffindors wanted to use this as a challenge to explore the truth of the Chamber of Secrets. Those who believed that Harry had nothing to do with this wanted to catch the real murderer and clear his name. Some students who firmly believed that Harry was the "Heir of Slytherin" were also eager to try, wanting to obtain the most critical evidence and win in one fell swoop.

The night tour team grew as a result, and even led by the twins, a group of Gryffindors formed a group to clear the curfew copy and engage in guerrilla warfare with the prefects.

Sometimes they would run into a basilisk working in the pipes in the walls of Hogwarts. They would use what they learned from books and imitate the crowing of a rooster, showing no fear at all.

Over time, the snake monster became extremely annoyed. After being subdued by Sun Zhu using the Xumi Pearl, its strength actually increased a lot, and it basically didn't feel hungry. But the desire to fight hidden in its blood didn't decrease at all. Unfortunately, it couldn't disobey orders, and it couldn't hurt anyone. It felt that the whole snake life was gloomy.

The class leaders were not able to control this group of juniors and were also very distressed. After secretly watching the scene several times, Sun Zhu realized how hard the class leaders worked and inevitably felt a little guilty towards Percy.

As far as she knew, the class leaders had asked the professors to come forward more than once, hoping that they would either dispel the rumors or catch the basilisk.

However, the professors "watched coldly" under the order of Headmaster Dumbledore, and did nothing except to express their approval of the work of the prefects - but Professor Sprout's mandrake was indeed being cultivated. However, Lockhart, who knew nothing and loved to show off, jumped out and said that he could be assured of this matter, which won the starry eyes of many junior students.

However, Lockhart was, of course, useless. Apart from organizing a "fighting club" for the lower grades, he did nothing else. As for why he didn't organize it for the upper grades, it was probably because the upper grades were not so easy to fool and were very rebellious, so not many people paid attention to him.

Percy remained silent, as if he realized that the communication was fruitless, but he was unwilling to return empty-handed.

"I hope that the conflicts between your family members can be resolved by yourselves. Don't make things difficult for Zhu. Although I understand that the work of the prefect is not easy, this is also a test and your responsibility, right?"

Cedric's gentle voice came, and he nodded with a smile to Lockhart who seemed to be looking here, and stood next to Sun Zhu.

Percy came back to his senses, pursed his lips, nodded reluctantly, turned around and went downstairs.

Facing Lockhart's scrutiny, Cedric pulled Sun Zhu's scarf tighter and took her into the warm classroom.

"Did you hear what he said to me?"

"No, I only heard the last few sentences. But it's not difficult to guess the cause and effect." He sighed, "I saw that you looked embarrassed and shivering in the wind, so I interrupted..."

"It's okay." Sun Zhu interrupted his explanation, "It's just right, after this class is over, let's go find the principal."
