The Chinese girl from Hufflepuff is both timid and brave

Sun Zhu wrapped in a robe and sat in a corner of the Pig's Head Bar with his head down.

The bartender here put a cup of hot water on her table and then ran away quickly.

He didn't remember whether Aberforth had instructed him not to let these two Hufflepuffs in again, but the murderous look on the girl's face just now made him want to survive, so he didn't say much.

Anyway, although my boss has a bad temper, he is kind-hearted. I won't fire him for this.

Cedric sat aside and watched her quietly. Seeing that she remained silent, he simply reached out his hand, turned her body, and let her half lean in his arms.

Sun Zhu, still angry, froze, and half of his shoulder felt numb as if he had been electrocuted. Damn it, this corner may not be very eye-catching, but it is also a public place... It is not suitable for people to come and go.

However, she didn't want to move at all. Although this posture was ambiguous, it didn't go any further, it just made her stay in a comfortable and warm position.

Seeing that she had no intention of resisting, Cedric simply held her two cold hands in his palms, lowered his head and whispered: "I know you are tired, take a good rest first, okay?"

"Actually, I regret it." She suddenly said this without any context.

"Ok?"

"I shouldn't have scolded him just now." She said in a low voice, with a hint of annoyance, "Actually, what he said was not wrong, right?"

Thinking of her recent feat, she ignored the possible "members of Sirius's fan club" around her and attacked Sirius.

"What do you mean? Are you saying that I'm in danger? Are you the only one allowed to know these things? Could it be that Dumbledore just likes me and wants to tell me all the secrets? Why, are you jealous?"

"Then I would never dare to do that."

Although she knew that her current appearance could be described in one word: angry and humiliated, she still went on a mad rage.

"Sirius Black, you have no conscience! You actually doubted me and tried to sow discord between us!"

"I didn't mean that. In fact, no one can provoke you, right?"

"You and Poter are really father and son! I'm so mad! I'll write a letter to my dad and tell him to use his documents to hit your stupid head hard when he sees you next time!"

"...Will this make me more stupid?"

Seeing that the commotion here seemed to be about to be noticed by others, Cedric hurried forward to separate the two of them, and said to Sirius sideways: "I'm sorry, Professor Black, Zhu is a little tired recently. Not only is she busy with her studies and training, but she also has to worry about Mr. Potter's recent abnormality. She really has no time to deal with it. Please pay more attention to what I just asked you to do. I'll take her back to rest first."

Looking at the two people walking away, Sirius silently curled the corners of his mouth, then looked at the small bottle of unknown liquid in his hand, smiled and shook his head.

Sun Zhu walked into the Pig's Head Bar angrily and scared a few drunks who were bragging.

Cedric followed closely behind, signaled to the bartender, and greeted Aberforth before finding Sun Zhu, who was sitting in the corner wrapped up in a ball.

"Actually..." He chose his words carefully, feeling the girl's shallow breathing on the back of his hand, and subconsciously hugged her tightly, "Professor Black's words do make people unhappy, and it's okay for you to scold him. My father said that at least half of the people in the Ministry of Magic want to do this."

"You also said he was a professor, right?"

"Ahem, it's just a habit. He obviously doesn't consider himself our professor anymore."

Sun Zhu raised her head slightly, looked at his long eyelashes, and said uncertainly: "You are also angry about what he just said, right?"

He pursed his lips slightly, which was considered as his agreement.

Sun Zhu smiled and said, "Do you know why I suddenly regretted it? It's not because I think he shouldn't have scolded me, but because I suddenly realized that I was fooled by him again."

As long as Sirius thought about it, he would guess that she not only knew a lot of things, but also did many other things in secret. If she was just an ordinary insider, how could she ask him back so confidently, or even rebuke him?

This was not the reaction of an ordinary fourth-year student at all. Even Hermione two years later would never talk to him like this.

"I think I have been exposed enough in front of him."

At least he could definitely guess that the "wizard grandma" was her, but he didn't know whether he would tell Harry.

But he probably didn't know that it was she who caught Peter and cleared his name. However, Dumbledore might have guessed it long ago, but they had a tacit understanding that "everything is implied".

"But, young man, you know nothing about me." Sun Zhu exerted a little force, and the hand that was holding hers was raised in front of her eyes, but she just looked into his eyes steadily, "I'm giving you one last chance to escape, otherwise, in the future, you might really be bullied by me terribly, just like what the big black dog said. The kind of misery that I sold you and you still help me count the money."

Cedric looked at her quietly, and then gently let go of her hand.

Then he removed his arm from around her shoulders and stood up, facing her.

"Are you ready to run away now?" There was no emotion in her voice, only a slight tremor that she herself was not aware of.

"Are you going to sell me?" he whispered.

"It's just an analogy. It might be even worse than this." She raised her head and smiled. "Are you scared?"

"If I'm really worth being exchanged for something, then you can sell me." He bent down slightly, staring into her eyes, his beautifully curved lips gently opening and closing, uttering a few barely audible whispers, "Anyway, I'll come back to you on my own."

Sun Zhu's brain buzzed as if it was hit by something. Before she could react, the face that couldn't be more familiar was already before her eyes.

She saw herself reaching out and grabbing the yellow and black silk tie between his white shirt collar, and saw his slightly surprised look. He was pulled in front of her without any defense.

"Do you think I will force myself on you, eat you up, and then throw you away?"

"You can't get rid of me unless I die." He showed a rogue look like Sirius. For a moment, their faces overlapped in front of her eyes like two film negatives, gradually turning into a black and white face that was moving away from her.

"No! Don't say such unlucky words!" She loosened her hand and let him lean on her shoulder again, but her hand touched his wrist.

The string of beads she gave him was still there. She frowned and covered his mouth with her hand, gritting her teeth and said, "Listen, Seth, I can accept your departure, but the premise is that you have to live well somewhere else. I won't allow you to not cherish your own life. At all times, please protect yourself well, understand!"
