The Chinese girl from Hufflepuff is both timid and brave

Sun Zhu folded his arms and looked at the person on the bed for a while. His long and thick eyelashes were trembling slightly, and his beautifully curved lips were pursed tightly, making his lips look a little pale.

She looked at Karina suspiciously again, but she lowered her head and couldn't see her expression clearly. Daisy, on the other hand, looked like she was enjoying herself. When she saw Sun Zhu looking at her, she immediately held up her face and said exaggeratedly, "Oh, how pitiful! Our Hufflepuff Quidditch captain has become like this..."

"Can you pretend even more?" Sun Zhu wanted to roll her eyes, so she simply sat down on the edge of the bed and stretched out her hand to the person on the bed.

Daisy stretched her neck to see what was going on, Karina also raised her head, but Sun Zhu grabbed someone's chin and then tapped his face with his fingertips.

"If you can't pretend anymore, stop pretending. What have you done to me that you have to escape like this?"

Daisy almost bent herself into an "S" shape, looking like she was watching a lot of fun: "Don't you know what he did wrong? I'll tell you!"

Someone's face was deformed like a piece of dough being kneaded by her, and Daisy's excited voice came from behind.

"It's about Zhang from Ravenclaw. He felt guilty, so he got sick."

"…What a mess, why is it still this kind of thing." She changed from kneading to pinching, "You'd better be in trouble, otherwise tell me, if you have a clear conscience, why did it become like this."

Someone's eyes opened weakly a crack, and Sun Zhu loosened his hand. He saw that his face was covered with his finger marks, his hair was messy, and there was a trace of confusion in his half-open eyes. His anger had dissipated before he had time to rise.

She wanted to touch his forehead again, but her hand was suddenly held, and the pair of gray eyes looking at her were misty and not very clear.

"Are you really not feeling well?" she asked in a low voice. "You were fine when we separated last night. What's wrong with you?"

Why didn’t Tongzi see anything?

The two people who were staring at this place not far away shook their heads at the same time. Haha, Diggory's acting skills are poor, but they are useful. It doesn't take much skill to deceive bamboo.

The audience was completely unaware of their psychological activities. At this moment, Sun Zhu allowed someone to hold her hand and press it against her heart, and heard him whisper, "Listen, my heartbeat."

Sun Zhu was confused, but still obeyed. She pressed her palm on his chest, and could feel the warmth of his chest under the clothes, and his heart was beating strongly.

Everything was so normal that she paid more attention to the feel of her hands than to her heart rate.

It's warm and soft, and feels as healthy as it can be.

Wait, is she being fooled again?

Just as I was about to glare at him, I heard him say aggrievedly: "I have been looking for you for a long time today. Where have you been?"

Sun Zhu subconsciously softened his eyes: "Uh, well, I have something important to do, so I'm not going anywhere."

"Everyone in your dormitory is not here."

"Yes, I'm so busy because something happened to them." Sun Zhu wanted to look back at Karina, but this guy was hiding behind Daisy, looking very sneaky and seemed to have done something wrong.

Sun Zhu took back his hands, crossed them over his chest, bit his lower lip and said, "But it seems that she is fine now. But you... tell me, lying in bed pretending to be sick and taking up Hogwarts' medical resources... this is not something you would do."

Daisy chuckled: "See, Karina, I told you, Zhu is not so easy to soften, your trick won't work on her."

"How could that be? She was so nervous when I was sick yesterday. Why would Cedric being sick have no effect on her? It must be because I am more important to Zhu!"

Sun Zhu took a breath and tried to convince himself that Karina's brain was just burned out, so how could she have any bad intentions?

The person lying on the bed half sat up, carefully looked at her face, and took a deep breath: "I...just thought you were avoiding me. I was just being stupid for a moment."

"Why should I hide from you?" Sun Zhu stretched out his hand and pulled him down. "It's really stupid. How can lying next to Madam Pomfrey be a good thing? Others don't even have time to hide, but you actually take the initiative to get here!"

He used the force to get off the bed, and half-knelt in front of her, his head slightly tilted up, looking at her with gray crystal eyes, but his tone was full of tension: "When I went back last night, I heard from Duke and James that some rumors had spread in Hogwarts. I felt it necessary to correct them to everyone, and I should explain them clearly to you. But my patronus went to find you in the morning, but said that you were still resting. At noon, everyone in your dormitory was gone. The restaurant, the library, the Quidditch training ground... Just when I was about to try my luck with Mr. Hagrid, Daisy said that Carina was with Madam Pomfrey, so I came over."

Sun Zhu blinked and recalled for a while: "I... woke up at noon and first sent Karina here. Then you went to the restaurant to find us? I went to the restaurant later, but you went to the library. Later, I went to the Room of Requirement... to look for someone, but you were already on the Quidditch field."

"Hey, you two really don't have any tacit understanding at all." Daisy covered her mouth and laughed, "You were both busy, but you never met each other. If I hadn't heard Zhu mention it during the meal, I'm afraid you would have visited every corner of Hogwarts and still not met each other."

Cedric rested his chin dejectedly on her knees, his hands gently wrapped around her calves, his black hair looked a little messy and his eyes were full of confusion.

"Did they just happen to be in the wrong order..."

Sun Zhu felt the weight on her legs, but she didn't have the heart to push someone down - if she did that, he would probably really die in the infirmary today, the kind that even Madam Pomfrey's medical wing couldn't put back together.

"So later on, you didn't let your patronus come to find me? You didn't even dare to let Jerry come?"

"I thought you were angry, so of course it would be better for you to come here in person and apologize in person."

Karina leaned half of her body out from behind Daisy at this time: "Indeed, he asked me where I had been as soon as he came. He looked so anxious that I thought it was a mysterious person who broke in!"

Sun Zhu couldn't help but reach out and rub someone's hair, and he also moved a little closer.

"I told him that you looked so bad while you were eating. You must have been angry. Hahaha, I've never seen Diggory, the pride of Hufflepuff, look so pitiful." Daisy added, "The last time I saw it was on Filch's cat Mrs. Norris. It was splashed with water from Myrtle's toilet seat and hit on the leg by an empty ink bottle thrown by Peeves, but it was still not as pitiful as Diggory."

Carina covered her face. "Although Filch is annoying, cats are innocent."

Sun Zhu reached out to poke his forehead, but he grabbed her wrist and gently placed it under his face.

"So you lied to him and pretended to be sick so that I would forgive him... No, I wasn't angry at all. Daisy, don't you know that?"

Karina raised her hand weakly: "I told him to lie down. He was hit by many bludgers during the Quidditch game yesterday. He must be injured. This is not a lie!"

"I just made a suggestion." Daisy shrugged. "Even if you're not angry, shouldn't he explain?"

Sun Zhu looked down at someone, and he looked up at him. Just as he was about to say something, Daisy pulled Karina out.

"Don't hesitate when you need to avoid the fun. Why are you standing there, Karina? Don't you realize you are glowing?"

"What? I'm not Fina's firefly..."

Cedric's face seemed to turn red again. Sun Zhu patted her side and said, "Come here and talk."

He stood up and quickly sat down next to her, but he didn't loosen his grip on her wrist. "Miss Zhang and I have nothing to do with each other. Apart from the Quidditch match, we have never communicated at other times. I don't understand..."

"Oh, I already know this." Sun Zhu said calmly, "I think she feels the same way about you."

He was obviously relieved. "Yes, that must be it. No extra attention, let alone extra feelings. And I can see that Mr. Potter seems..."

"You have a very good eye. You noticed this." Sun Zhu wanted to laugh. Harry thought he hid it very well.

Looking at her smiling face, Cedric felt more and more that he shouldn't have thought that Zhu would be influenced by those rumors and deliberately avoid him.

"But..." Sun Zhu suddenly said, "You have to promise me one thing."

"Ah."

"No matter what misunderstandings there are between us in the future," she said seriously, "whether they are real or just what you think they are, don't do it like this time, where you didn't even dare to send an owl to deliver a letter to me."

"it is good."

He hung his head, like a puppy being scolded for doing something wrong.

"We have worked so hard to train our Patronuses. Wouldn't it be a waste if we didn't use them to communicate?" She raised her hand and lifted his chin. "I will never refuse to communicate with you at any time, no matter what method. Unless... I fall asleep."

"I understand." He took a deep breath and smelled the faint fragrance on her hand. "I am too unconfident and I didn't believe you."

Sun Zhu felt a little guilty: "Well, you are like this, probably because I...have been ignoring you recently. I have arranged too many things for myself, and I have been confused these days. In fact, you didn't come to see me, and I...didn't think of looking for you."

He suddenly laughed: "Zhu, are we going to apologize to each other?"

"It's not impossible..."

There was a sudden knock on the door of the infirmary. Daisy said at the door, "Ms. Pomfrey, you're back? I think Carina is fine now. I think she will be able to attend classes as usual tomorrow."

"I haven't confirmed her recovery yet, why did Miss Jones come out?" Madam Pomfrey's worried voice came, "Children of your age are always like this, not caring about your own health at all. Come in quickly..."

Pomfrey pushed open the door, only to see Sun Zhu and Cedric standing upright beside the bed, looking at her calmly.

"Oh... Miss Sun and Mr. Diggory, what do you want?"

"He was beaten badly by the Bludger during yesterday's game. Can you help check if he's injured?"

"Zhu hasn't had a good rest these past few days. Please take a look at her physical condition."

Two completely different voices sounded at the same time. Madam Pomfrey stood there in a daze. She looked at the two of them, then turned to look at Daisy and Carina at the door, shaking her head and sighing.

"I don't think there's a sign for Madam Puddifoot's Tea Shop on the door of my infirmary."
