The Chinese girl from Hufflepuff is both timid and brave

In Madam Puddifoot's Tea House, Sun Zhu looked at the handsome black-haired man who was sitting with his legs crossed. He was concentrating on cleaning the cups. Considering that there seemed to be people around who were always looking at them, Sun Zhu simply pulled up the hood of his school uniform to cover half of his face.

Noticing her actions, Sirius sneered and teased, "Does having tea with me make you so uneasy?"

Sun Zhu lowered his voice and said, "What are you thinking about? I have something important to talk to you about. But why did you choose such a place? It's okay if the place is small, but with so many people, plus these decorations and this atmosphere, do you know how misleading it is!"

He spread his hands indifferently: "You told me to meet in Hogsmeade on Saturday. There are many people in any store. Miss Sun, you know how busy I am recently. It's not easy to find a free afternoon."

"I've always wanted to ask you, does magic completely prohibit employees from having side jobs?" She took a sip of hot black tea with sugar cubes. "You're now super rich. Karina saw your column in Witch Weekly. The editor of that newspaper rated you as the number one golden bachelor in the wizarding world. He said that you have the most fascinating appearance and personality for witches, as well as the wealth and status that wizards envy the most."

She pointed around again and said, "If I'm not mistaken, they are all here to spy on you. I'm so worried that I'll be assassinated on my way back!"

Now it was Sirius' turn to be surprised. He stroked his chin, looked around thoughtfully, then grinned and said, "Don't be afraid, Zhu. I will take you back to Hogwarts in person later. However, what you just said..."

"Wow, this newspaper loves to publish some rankings, such as the ranking of handsome wizards in the wizarding world, which is divided into three lists: old, middle-aged and young. You are only one place lower than Lockhart in the middle-aged list. And the ranking of wizards that witches most want to marry that I just mentioned, you are actually higher than Lockhart..."

"Ah, you mean that idiot..."

"Hush! Do you think there are no Lockhart fans around here? Most of them are double-loaded! Be careful, if you don't want to live, I still do!"

"What do you mean by double..." Sirius' not-so-bright head became even more confused. "I think I'd rather sit in the Sports Department for the whole afternoon! The witches in the Ministry of Magic don't have such a thing."

"Because they have seen through you and realize that you are just a show-off, but these female students have not yet learned to see the essence through the phenomenon."

"Aren't you considered a schoolgirl?" Sirius leaned closer. "Why aren't you like them?"

Sun Zhu gave him a fake smile and said politely, "Guess."

His dark grey eyes were full of smiles, but he sighed exaggeratedly and pretended to be defeated: "Eh - I don't dare to do anything to you and risk being beaten by your father with his dozens of pounds of documents, but..."

"May I ask what you would like to do, Professor Black?"

Sirius quickly sat up straight and said seriously: "But I am concerned about you, young man. You look pretty good, but can you take a beating?"

Cedric frowned and said seriously, "Although I don't quite understand what you are talking about, I think that as a Seeker, you must be able to withstand the attacks of the Bludgers."

"Wow, that's not a Bludger." Sirius said with a look of innocence, "Have you heard of a weapon used by Muggles? The kind that can destroy a city..."

“Bang, bang, bang!” Sun Zhu slammed the table a few times. “Let’s talk business. What are you talking about? My dad is not such a violent person!”

The two handsome guys, one big and one small, with black hair and grey eyes, looked at her, but Sirius was obviously not serious at all, slumped in his chair and smiled in an unpresentable manner. Cedric, on the other hand, looked at her with grievance, which made her feel a little sorry.

"Ahem, did you buy what you wanted?" She subconsciously wanted to pick up the teacup, but he took it away first and added some hot water.

"My matter is trivial. I wanted to wait until you guys finished talking before coming back, but... there were too many people outside the teahouse. I didn't know what happened, so..."

Sun Zhu looked at Sirius helplessly again: "It's really hard to keep a low profile with you here. I'm afraid you're going to invite all the reporters from Witch Weekly here."

Sirius touched his nose indifferently. Sun Zhu was afraid that he would say something like "Is it my fault that I'm rich and handsome?" He quickly said, "So my father should have told you everything. Did you bring the things I asked you to bring?"

He sat up again and pulled something wrapped in a handkerchief from the inside pocket of his coat.

Through the silk handkerchief, Sun Zhu could still vaguely see the luster of the scales. She opened it in a few seconds and took a closer look. The golden and jade dragon scale as big as her palm was quietly held in her hand.

Although it was a scale that fell off naturally, it seemed to be still breathing, absorbing the air around it and emitting a bright light of pale golden color.

"Your father said that this thing can help Harry calm his mind and not be bewitched, but how did it appear in his safe?" Sirius asked puzzledly: "What kind of magic item is it? I want to study its composition and see if I can copy some..."

"Of course not, it's unique!" Sun Zhu thought of the tens of thousands of scales like this on Grandpa Long's body, and changed his words, "Anyway, it has nothing to do with magic. This is a treasure passed down in my family. Yes, it is a secret treasure belonging to China!"

Sirius chuckled, his expression was a little cunning: "Really? I remember Harry told me that this was his 10th birthday present from his wizard grandmother? It turns out that it has something to do with you..."

Sun Zhu was stunned, and Tongzi's reminder came at the right time: "That's right, host, you sent this thing to him in the name of 'Wizard Grandma'. On the surface, you and Harry didn't know each other at that time."

"Then why didn't you remind me earlier!"

"Host, I'm sorry. I didn't expect you to reveal the trap in just a few words. Oh no, I don't mean to blame you, but... In fact, even if it is exposed, it doesn't matter. After all, you have never done anything to hurt them."

"No, you don't understand how embarrassing it would be for humans to fall off the horse like this."

Sun Zhu stared at Sirius blankly as if petrified, and the other side also looked at her curiously. This weird atmosphere made Cedric hesitate and said, "The point now is, can this treasure make Mr. Potter's troubles disappear, right?"

Sun Zhu came back to his senses and said quickly, "That's right. I don't understand what you are talking about. What wizard grandma? I don't have a grandson like that. Did you remember it wrong?"

"Oh, is that so? Then I'll ask Harry when I have time—"

"…Is it necessary? I don't think he remembers this much." Sun Zhu laughed dryly. "Sed is right. The most important thing we should do now is to give it to Harry and remind him to keep it with him. Don't ask about these irrelevant things."

Sirius nodded with a half-smile: "Well...you're right. Of course I know what is most important."
