The Chinese girl from Hufflepuff is both timid and brave

It's eight minutes to two o'clock in the middle of the night, and the Hufflepuff lounge is already immersed in night. Although there is no distinction between day and night in the underground lounge, Hogwarts' weather magic is profound and mysterious, as well as fireplaces and wall lamps. for lighting. But now, they are all extinguished. Only various magical plants breathe in this silence.

The tall black-haired boy walked in here holding a bright yellow lantern in his hand. Next to him was a big-headed elf wearing a pink floral pillowcase.

"Sir, please let Mengqi hold it for you! Mengqi can do anything for you!"

"No, it's already troublesome to ask you to come here with me. It's just a lantern." The young man refused gently, and then turned to face somewhere by the light of the lantern and said: "Senior, are you sure you want to use it?" Are you following me like this?"

"Hey, have you discovered it?" Another voice came from the quiet night, "I'm just a little curious. The lounge is only open to all current Hufflepuff students. In order not to have any counter-effects, I just plan to watch silently. On."

The young man frowned helplessly, with a bit of resistance on his face: "I just came to see if Jin Bei really has the ability you said, why didn't he tell the principal and dean directly, but in this way..."

"That would be too much fanfare. We have to test it quietly. This golden cup can be placed here so safely because no one thinks it has any other uses. Otherwise, it might have been stolen long ago." Turned into a Tonks, a firefly, flapped her wings and flew towards Lady Helga's portrait, creating a thin ray of light in the dark night.

Cedric shook his head: "Then why not discuss it with Zhu? She has always cared about the elves. She has put a lot of effort into bringing this golden cup back."

"This is actually what you have been struggling with, right? You don't want to do things without telling Zhu."

"I don't deny this. When I see her tomorrow, I will tell her everything I heard today."

"I don't think you need to do this." Tonks circled around him. Meng Qi beside her didn't know what was going on and just stared at the little flying insect nervously, "She would know even if you don't tell her. We all know that."

He pursed his lips and looked at the golden cup illuminated by the light of the lantern not far away, without saying a word.

Not long ago, in the kitchen of Hogwarts, several people who looked very untrustworthy told him an unfounded guess.

During this summer vacation, the Aurors secretly traced the origin of the Gold Cup in an attempt to find clues about the hidden Voldemort. But he only saw Hao Qi, the house elf who was accused of killing his master. Her owner was Hepzibah Smith, a descendant of Helga Hufflepuff.

Hao Qi didn't know how the golden cup became the mysterious man's evil treasure and ended up in the Lestrange family's vault. She only remembers that a handsome young man killed her master many years ago and stole two treasures after putting the blame on her.

"Hao Qi said that her owner had shown off to many people, claiming that both the golden cup and the locket had magical powers, but he never did much research and only carefully collected them. Her owner once revealed drunkenly that the magic power of the golden cup and the ability to liberate domestic animals It is related to elves. Any elf who wants to change his current situation can make a wish to the golden cup and achieve his wish." Tonks said leisurely: "In short, after seeing the elf, she cried and cried. She said she must find the golden cup, which could prove her innocence, even though she didn’t know exactly how to do it.”

"Are you saying that they convicted an elf without any solid evidence and imprisoned her for many years?"

"They don't think this is anything. It's just an elf. Does it matter whether she was wronged or not? But, I guess you don't think so, right?" Tonks stopped at a piece of grass. Ye Shang, "As it happens, I also want to know the truth, so I came to you for help."

Cedric clenched his fists, veins bulging on the back of his hands. After a moment, he nodded slightly: "I will help you this time, but after that..."

"I know you won't hide any little secrets from Zhu. In fact, it doesn't matter if she knows, but I think it's too disturbing to have her worry about it all the time. It also makes us adult wizards useless."

Cedric came closer, his eyes fixed on the golden cup, and he subconsciously retorted: "Please don't think so. If you don't think we are a drag, then we won't think these are an intrusion."

"You are so polite when you speak. We Hufflepuffs are indeed too humble." Tonks shook her wings, "For example, little Fina wrote to me two days ago saying that she was really bad and couldn't learn the Patronus Charm. , Animagus has not made any progress. But hasn’t she thought that ordinary students will not use these advanced magic spells as a standard to measure their abilities? Moreover, her little fireflies are really magical. No one can summon so many patron saints at once, even if they are just small flying insects, she can be regarded as the first among wizards."

Tonks, who turned into a small flying insect, sighed, but soon turned into surprise: "Digory, you..."

Cedric waved his hands to indicate that he was not holding a wand. He didn't look at Tonks or Meng Qi at the side, but looked at the gold cup that was originally placed in the glass display cabinet in front of the picture frame without blinking.

The cabinet door was opened at some point, and the golden cup suddenly flew into the air. This scene was undoubtedly a bit scary, but Cedric was not nervous at all, and instead shouted tentatively.

"bamboo?"

"Ah."

The girl's sleepy voice came, and Tonks, who was lying on the grass, suddenly flew up and flew in a wide circle around the golden cup hanging in the air.

"Little Bamboo? When did you come? Why didn't I find you?" She looked at Cedric in confusion, "Have you seen her? Where is she?"

Sun Zhu felt that Senior Tonks might have never been so speechless in her life, so she quickly responded: "Well, I'm here."

She put away the invisibility talisman attached to her shoulder and stood up from the sofa in the lounge.

It was five or six meters away from the golden cup that she had fixed in mid-air with a floating spell.

The firefly suddenly flew in front of her, and her voice was full of disbelief: "Bamboo, is your body transformation spell already so powerful?"

"Well, I have been practicing hard these past few days... but it was just a fluke that I was not discovered this time. Because you have never thought that there might be a person following you in the dark."

Sun Zhu didn't deny it. After all, she couldn't explain her talisman. Instead, she changed the subject and said, "Senior, if you don't ask me why I'm here, what did you hear?"

Tonks glanced at Cedric sideways - if Firefly could make this expression, she believed she would do so - and said angrily: "Why else are you here? I know it without asking. "

Sun Zhu wrapped herself tightly in the cotton nightgown and thick scarf that she had put on in a hurry, and looked at someone who had been staring at her for a moment.

"You..." She started, but before she could finish her words, he hugged her tightly.

"Did you come out to find me?" His voice was low and nasal, "Did I make you worried?"

"Yes." She reached out and touched his face, and said helplessly: "I was afraid that my little panda would be taken away by something, so I hurriedly came to see the situation. But in the end, you ran out by yourself?"
