The Chinese girl from Hufflepuff is both timid and brave

"I first started taking mandrake leaves on a full moon night in May this year. It was very difficult at first and I didn't tell anyone, including my mum.

"I failed after a week because I accidentally choked on the leaves when I was drinking water. My mother was shocked by me and realized that I was trying to become an Animagus. On the full moon night in June, I continued to try..."

Sun Zhu interrupted him: "You also started trying in May? Was it because of the letter I wrote to you?"

The red panda shook his ears. "Actually, after I learned about Professor Black's situation, I was already very interested in Animagus. After meeting Senior Sister Tonks, I became more determined to master it. The letter you gave me was the opportunity that prompted me to officially start trying."

"What a coincidence, it turned into a red panda. It and the raccoon are really close relatives."

Sun Zhu squatted down and looked at him straight in the eye, but unfortunately he couldn't tell whether he was blushing or not.

"I don't know either. I thought I would turn into a bird." He seemed really confused. "The attempt in June went smoothly. I persisted until the full moon night in July. I put it in the prepared crystal bottle and let it fully bathe in the moonlight. Then I just waited for the storm to come..."

"During this period, at sunrise and sunset each day, point the tip of the wand over your heart and chant the following incantation: 'Amato Animo Animato Animagus.'"

Sun Zhu was surprised and asked, "What spell? Why does it sound a bit silly?"

The red panda lowered his head in embarrassment. "I can't help it. This is a critical step that cannot be missed. Even missing one step or being late by one second will lead to failure."

"And you succeeded in one go? Sunrise and sunset every day... that's how early it must be."

"Fortunately, I'm lucky." The red panda clenched his paws. "Some people have to wait for months or even years for a storm to come, which is much more difficult. But I tried in the summer, and I waited for that day for only a month."

Sun Zhu was silent, and suddenly realized something: "Are you talking about August... or the day of the full moon?"

"It was in August indeed." He was a little confused. "I'm not sure if it was a full moon, because it was so cloudy that night that I couldn't see the moon at all. I found the crystal bottle in the rain at that time. I didn't have any expectations, but I found that there was actually a blood-red potion in it."

Sun Zhu nodded: "It should be the same day. On that day, Fina failed again because she couldn't see the moon. But you ended your suffering early..."

Mr. Lu Xun was right. It is true that human sorrows and joys are not the same.

The red panda scratched its face with its claws, looking extremely pitiful.

"No, it's not the end of the suffering, but the beginning of an even more terrifying pain." He said, "Drink the potion, then point the tip of the wand at your heart, and repeat the spell just now, and terrible changes will happen..."

He came to the roof of his house on a stormy night. There were many plants and flowers planted there that his mother had carefully cultivated. It was a quiet, safe and spacious place.

He did not disturb his sleeping parents, and endured the torment of transformation alone. His two heartbeats beat back and forth in his chest, his whole body was hot, and his bones felt as if they were being torn apart and reassembled, causing unbearable pain.

The most torturous thing is watching your body transform into a completely unfamiliar appearance.

He instinctively wanted to resist, but his heart told himself: Accept it, this is another side of you.

If you can't achieve true unity of body and mind, the last and most critical step will fail. Then all the previous efforts will be in vain, and you may even be seriously injured, leaving a psychological trauma that is difficult to heal, and you will never be able to try Animagus again.

He thought of his father's proud eyes and his mother's worried eyes, and the warm gaze of a girl... He wanted to fly to see her immediately, but he didn't have any strength in his body.

As the world spun, he felt his vision become strange.

The plant stands around me became taller, and my body became lighter, as if I could easily jump up. My sense of smell became sharper, and I could smell the scent of grass and soil.

He tried hard to see his appearance clearly, but finally fainted.

It was not until Fiona, who was worried about the flowers she grew, came to check on him in the rain that she discovered that he was almost frozen to death.

At that time, she didn't realize that the little guy was her son. She just took him into the warm house, warmed his body, fed him some food and medicine, and prepared to send him to the Muggle zoo for rescue when the weather was better.

"A Muggle Zoo?" Sun Zhu's eyes widened. "It's a good thing I didn't send it there. It would be too scary. If it suddenly changes back, it would scare a bunch of Muggles."

If Uncle Long saw it, he would definitely say, well, little panda demon.

"Are you only worried about scaring the Muggles?" The little panda said with grievance. "After I regained consciousness, I vaguely heard what my mother said. I ignored the pain all over my body and ran to my room... Do you know how difficult those stairs were for me at that time? My mother looked at me in surprise as I jumped up one step at a time. It was not until I opened the door that I found that there was no one inside and realized that something was wrong."

Sun Zhu bit her lip and imagined the scene: "What a poor little thing. But why did you hide such a big thing from Aunt Fiona? If something unexpected happened, do you want her to be heartbroken?"

The little panda hung its head again, and Sun Zhu said hurriedly: "I don't mean to blame you. Well, luckily everything was fine later, right? You can't blame her for not recognizing you at first. After all... it only took you three months to succeed. Even your biological mother wouldn't have expected that, right?"

"But you seemed to recognize me right away." He muttered softly, "Am I that easy to recognize?"

Although he had a cheat, Sun Zhu had recognized him intuitively at that time, and said with some pride: "Of course, after all, he is so cute and helpless. Anyone who sees him will..."

"Will everyone think that reddish-brown panda is Cedric?" he asked.

"No." She smiled, lowered her head and said seriously, "It's just that when I saw him, I liked him very much. When I saw his furry body and round head, I couldn't help but want to hug him. When I saw his pitiful frozen body, I felt so distressed as if someone was grabbing my heart... Who else can give me this feeling except you?"

The red panda lay in the bed in a daze, its brown and white face seeming to be losing its original color.

Sun Zhu looked at the small potted plant on his desk. He didn't know when, green color like flower buds appeared among the dark green leaves.
