The Chinese girl from Hufflepuff is both timid and brave

Sirius stared blankly at the person in front of him, and suddenly reached out and grabbed his hair in annoyance, suspecting that he had not woken up yet.

Although he no longer regarded Sun Zhu as an ordinary student, when he heard her say that she was going to write a letter to the Ministry of Magic and suggest that the Department of Magical Law establish a separate "Elf Law" for house-elves, he felt that he had been too busy recently and had auditory hallucinations.

"Don't always show that stupid look that has not been polluted by knowledge, okay?" Sun Zhu sat on the sofa and spoke like a bully, but the target of her bullying was actually her former professor. Is this right?

Diggory, the famous model student of Hufflepuff, was like a follower of a school bully. Not only did he not stop her, he even kept nodding very deliberately, looking like he had no opinion of his own.

If this wasn't Lupin's office, he suspected Diggory would have prepared some honey water to soothe her throat and some snacks to fill her stomach.

"I know you think this is impossible, but since I said it, I believe it will be possible in the future." Sun Zhu brought the subject back. "But this matter has nothing to do with you, I just mentioned it casually. I called you here mainly to ask you to handle this matter for Harry."

"Hiss..." Sirius suddenly felt a toothache. "Is there evidence for what you said? I have never heard of such a thing before. Dobby obviously has no master anymore. The house-elves I know would never do anything without someone's order..."

"There is indeed no evidence." Sun Zhu was quite straightforward, "But as long as we call the suspect over to confront the victim, I think the truth will come out immediately."

She reached out and poked the head of the person next to her, messing up his black hair, but he didn't resist at all, and even leaned towards her, which made Sirius' eyes twitch.

Is this something a humane man can do? Isn't this kid's Animagus a red panda? How come he looks more like a dog than him?

Sun Zhu ignored Sirius's serious gaze, withdrew his hand as if nothing had happened, and turned Diggory's face towards him: "Look how pitiful he is, we should resolve the matter quickly. If it is really me who wronged Dobby, I will apologize to him."

Because his hair was tangled like a straw nest, Diggory looked quite pitiful, but Sirius felt that there was a lot of pretense in it. He took a deep breath and was very confused: "Are you saying that Dobby did this all for Harry? Harry likes the girl from Ravenclaw? But I didn't notice it at all! Because Diggory has a special relationship with her, so..."

"That's not true, Professor Black." Cedric interrupted him immediately, "That's exactly what I want to make clear."

"Oh, Zhu just said that Dobby forged a lot of letters to discredit you in front of that girl..." Sirius stroked his chin, "So how do you plan to deal with this matter?"

Cedric shook his head: "This matter is not important, as long as the false information about me and Zhang is not spread on campus anymore."

Sun Zhu repeated: "Isn't it important?"

Sirius was surprised: "Dobby did all this too?"

"You know, I'm not as perfect as everyone thinks. Those letters are not all lies." He looked at Sun Zhu, "If these descriptions can make many people want to distance themselves from me, Dobby has helped me."

Sirius suddenly felt that he not only had a toothache, but also a headache, and he felt uncomfortable all over.

"This is just my suspicion." Sun Zhu glanced at Sirius, "I believe the elf can do this. More importantly, Dobby is smart enough."

What made her finally suspect Dobby was naturally Tongzi's words, "Sorry host, I can't find any results on these matters."

So far, magic has been a black box in this unsuitable cultivation system. Although Tongzi is also learning and upgrading, he is thankful that he can barely understand wizard magic. If it involves other things, such as magic props like the Sorting Hat, magical animals, or werewolves and house-elves... then Tongzi can only keep apologizing to her.

But Tongzi was still able to rule out many wrong directions for her - since it could not find anything, it meant that the rumors were generated and spread by magic, not some naive Muggle means. Tongzi analyzed the behavior of the students in Hogwarts during this period and found no obvious abnormalities.

And secretly guiding such a boring topic is totally not the style of the Death Eaters - which villain would spend time on making up stories about whether two students are a good match? Even Harry himself would not let them spend so much time on this.

Sun Zhu turned his attention to the letters Qiu received - thankful that she did not destroy them after reading them because the contents were too embarrassing - they must have been sent by someone who wanted to pursue her, and there was no shortage of such people in Hogwarts.

Sun Zhu asked for those letters and after reading them carefully, he found some sentences like "The person who is truly trustworthy is actually right in front of you, but he is low-key and not ostentatious" and "Compared to a hypocritical person like Diggory, isn't a brave and sincere person more worthy of your attention"... The answer is obvious.

But Harry had been very careful and low-key recently because of the potential dangers. Ron and Hermione were worried about him and would not let him act alone. It was impossible for him to secretly send these letters to Cho. The only one who could do this for Harry was Dobby.

After all, he had a criminal record - she hadn't even settled the score from last semester. Although Dobby had caused her some trouble back then, his intentions were good... What about this time? Why did he target someone else?

It's okay for her. She didn't care about her image when she scared the Malfoys before, so it's normal for Dobby to misunderstand her. But Cho and Ced have no grudges against him. Could it be that Dobby did this just because he noticed Harry's feelings for Cho?

"Although you have no evidence, you have already determined in your heart that it was Dobby who did it?" Sirius asked, "After all, I basically know what great things you have done. If I wasn't absolutely sure, I wouldn't have come here."

"Sirius, you are getting smarter and smarter!" Sun Zhu pretended not to hear the sarcasm in his words, "But I bet that what you know about me is only part of it... But these are not the main points at the moment. Please call Dobby first."

Cedric nodded, leaving Sirius speechless again: "Diggory, I really can't understand why anyone would think that I look alike."

"I can't figure this out either." Sun Zhu said sullenly, "How well behaved he is is how crazy you are. The difference is huge."

"Is it really okay for you to talk to the professor like that?!"

"It's not the first day you've known me." Sun Zhu crossed his legs. "If you don't want to suspect Dobby because of Harry... I can understand that. But we can't always let unknown people send strange letters to Qiu. And at the moment, I only have this one suspect."

Sirius looked at the two fifth-year students opposite him and remained silent for a while. He knew very well that she had contributed a lot to his being able to sit in Lupin's office and talk to them instead of staying in Azkaban and staring at the Dementors.

Considering that she possessed many mysterious oriental powers that they could not understand and most likely came from her mother, he knew that he had to take her words seriously - in a sense, this was ten thousand times more reliable than Trilawney's prediction.

"Dobby is not under anyone's control now, because he has no so-called master." Sirius poured himself a cup of coffee, "But he is willing to listen to Harry. Now only Harry can contact Dobby quickly. I gave Harry a small gadget before. If he carries it with him, he can see the message I left for him. Dobby should be here soon."

"Will Harry carry it with him?" Sun Zhu was a little skeptical. "Why not send an owl or a patronus to tell him."

"It will make a lot of noise if we do this. Mr. Potter is probably rehearsing Quidditch right now. There should be a lot of people around him and he will be noticed." Cedric smiled and said, "Don't worry, it doesn't matter if you're late."

"You're not in a hurry now?" Sun Zhu looked up at him. "Who was it just now who said pitifully that he would never be happy again?"

Sun Zhu immediately heard Sirius making a strange noise, probably because he burned his mouth with coffee.

"Well, but you are already doing me justice, and I don't have to worry about my future happiness."

"The matter has to have a result today, otherwise when I return, Fina will not let me go." Sun Zhu was very ruthless, "I have to consider more than just your happiness."

"Just give me a little bit."

"Ahem..." Sirius said in a strange voice, "Did Lupin's coffee beans go bad? Why does it smell so sour?"

"You're right to be jealous." Sun Zhu didn't want to pay attention to him, "But we can't just sit here and wait."

"The last time I saw Dobby was in the Hogwarts kitchen." Cedric smiled, "Maybe we can find him there."

"But it's not convenient to bring this guy in." Sun Zhu pointed at Sirius.

"I can turn into a dog." Sirius said sullenly, "Maybe I already am one now."

The office door suddenly opened, and Lupin looked at the three people in surprise.

"Why are you here at this hour?" Sirius asked in confusion, "Isn't today Sunday?"

"Professor Lupin, what can I do for you?" Sun Zhu asked. "The key to your office was given to you by Senior Sister Tonks. She said it would be more convenient for us to come here if we need to discuss anything."

Lupin nodded, and then explained to them why he appeared in his office: "I left a notebook. It should be on the bookshelf in the office. Come and look for it."

Cedric, who was closest to the bookshelf, immediately asked, "Which one do you need? I'll help you find it."

"It has a dark brown cover and the spine is a little torn." Lupin described. "It should be on the second floor. The content is some defensive spells."

Cedric quickly found it. There was a feather pen inserted inside as a bookmark, and the marked page happened to record the Patronus Charm.

Lupin took it and flipped through it. "You can give it to Hermione, but they are only in their third year, and it would be too much of a burden for them to learn so much."

Sun Zhu saw him use the "Double Copy" function on the page with his wand, then put the copied contents about the Patronus Charm into his pocket and asked Cedric to put the notes back on the bookshelf.

"Hermione?" Sun Zhu asked, "Have all three of them started learning the Patronus Charm?"

"Yes, Hermione and the others insisted that I teach them." Lupin smiled helplessly, "What happened at the beginning of this semester scared a lot of students. All grades are working hard to learn the Patronus Charm, but Hermione and Harry are still too young."

"The difficulty of this spell has little to do with age." Sirius stroked his chin, "Anyone with a firm willpower can master it. There's no harm in learning it, so you should learn it earlier."

"Even so, it is an advanced defensive spell." Lupin looked at him and shook his head. "Learning anything is a gradual process. Most students in the lower grades are not yet proficient in spells. Padfoot, it is not a good thing to expose children to too much knowledge that is not suitable for them at their age."

"I have a deep understanding of this." Sirius pointed at Sun Zhu, "She is a typical example. At such a young age, she is busier than the Minister of Magic."

Sun Zhu gave a stiff but polite smile: "So, Professor Lupin, you are going to see Harry later? Can you tell him to ask Dobby to come here?"

Lupin was confused: "Okay, but if we're looking for Dobby, why bother?"

Sun Zhu and Cedric looked at Sirius at the same time. Sirius spread his hands and said, "How else can you call it over now?"

Lupin pulled a copper Knut from his pocket and called out Dobby's name.

The next second, a familiar elf appeared in the office.

Sun Zhu was dumbfounded: "What is the principle behind this?"

"Hermione told me." Lupin didn't quite understand. "She said that if there is anything that needs Dobby to do, take the reward for Dobby and call his name, and he will appear."

The elf opened his big eyes: "Oh, Mr. Lupin...you are Harry Potter's professor, you need Dobby, and you don't have to pay Dobby anything..."

Lupin smiled and stuffed the copper knuckle into his hand: "I still have something to do. Please entertain these three for me. This is what you deserve."

After Lupin left, only three people and one elf were left in the office. Dobby immediately began to skillfully make tea and coffee for them. Sun Zhu searched his pocket for a long time and only found two gold galleons.

"Dobby, I have a few questions for you. Please answer them truthfully. As a token of my gratitude, I will give you these two gold Galleons."

Dobby glanced at what Sun Zhu was holding: "Miss Sun is Harry Potter's friend, Dobby can't..."

"Take it." Sun Zhu wanted to laugh. "You are really losing money in this business. Everyone in the school has some connection with Harry. No one needs to pay you for what you do. How can you do it for free?"

"No, Dobby can't, Miss Sun..." Dobby waved his hands and backed away, as if trying to escape.

Sirius raised an eyebrow. "If you live long enough, you'll see everything. An elf who works for money…"

Dobby shrank back when he heard that, his thin body trembling a little. Cedric stepped aside to stop him, put a silver Sickle in his palm, and held it in front of Dobby.

"I'm not Mr. Potter's friend, but I need your help with something." He said softly, "For Miss Sun's sake, can you answer a few questions for me, Dobby?"
