The Chinese girl from Hufflepuff is both timid and brave

Chapter 64: Ghosts and Unresolved Feelings

After Professor McGonagall gave all the instructions and told them to wait quietly, she left the small room and went to the hall not far away.

"Ah!!!" She suddenly heard Karina screaming.

Following the sound, I saw two pearly white, translucent ghosts suddenly appear here.

Sun Zhu guessed that they were the Bloody Barrow and Sir Nicholas, the ghosts of Slytherin and Gryffindor, and they were arguing about something unknown.

"Honestly, I just can't stand it any longer!" cried Sir Nicholas. Or, more accurately, Nearly Headless Nick.

At this moment, he was lifting half of his head and shouting at the Bloody Baron, "Do you know what ugly nicknames it gave us?"

The Bloody Baron said nonchalantly, "Peeves wouldn't dare to mess with me anyway."

Karina continued to scream and not even Angelina could stop her.

Sun Zhu could understand her feelings very well. After all, these two ghosts were already scary enough, and the two scariest ones happened to appear in front of her.

"Oh, stop!" A fat ghost suddenly appeared. "We'll think about Peeves later. Although I think we should give it another chance. However, Sir Nicholas and Mr. Barrow, you scared the freshmen."

Karina was close to collapse. The fat monk floated in front of her and said, "Don't be afraid, child. We won't hurt you."

Sun Zhu hurried over, took Karina's hand and said to the fat monk, "Hello, my friend is just a little upset. She has no intention of offending you or your... friends."

These are the resident ghosts of Hogwarts. Although they are not as unreasonable as Peeves, there is no need to offend them.

"Of course, this is normal. Freshmen often encounter this kind of thing." The fat monk said with a smile.

"But there is no Gryffindor student like this, hum." said Nearly Headless Nick.

"Are you going to be sorted? I hope you will go to Hufflepuff. I graduated from there before." The fat monk and the other two ghosts floated away through the wall.

Karina said with lingering fear: "Zhu, I...I want to go to Hufflepuff, wuwuwu..."

"Okay, don't be afraid."

Professor McGonagall came back soon. She seemed to know what had just happened, but didn't say much. She just led them in a line, through a double door, and into a gorgeous restaurant.

Sun Zhu didn't have time to look around this magnificent place. He just judged by the colors that the order of the long tables from left to right was: Gryffindor, Ravenclaw, Slytherin, and Hufflepuff.

At the long table in Badger Yard on the far right, she saw Tonks with pink hair.

Karina seemed to have been stunned by the scene before her. She didn't care about being afraid. She just looked at the candles floating above the table and the golden plates and high-heeled wine glasses on the table.

There is also a long table at the top of the restaurant, which is where the teachers sit.

Sun Zhu noticed that there was an empty seat. She guessed that this year's Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher had not arrived yet.

Professor McGonagall led them to line up in front of the long table in the classroom, with their backs to the teachers.

Sun Zhu's legs felt like they were filled with lead, his back was numb, and his hands and feet were cold.

Because she was so lucky, she happened to stand right in front of Professor Snape.

She knew that Snape wouldn't care about an ordinary freshman like her, but she still couldn't help shaking.

Sun Zhu tried to switch positions with Karina next to him and stand in front of Professor Sprout, but he was afraid that this would be too obvious and would attract attention.

The most important thing is that Karina's current mental state cannot withstand the destruction. Being close to Snape, who has a strong aura, might cause her mood, which has finally calmed down, to collapse again.

Let her bear all the pain.

Soon after, the system prompt sound appeared again.

It is becoming more and more considerate now. It will not appear unexpectedly to scare her, but will remind her kindly: "Host, next, please be mentally prepared."

So Sun Zhu endured the pressure that only she knew, and listened to the system say without any emotion:

"It is detected that the host has contacted a key figure, Albus Dumbledore. Start the long-term side quest: Save Yi Nanping. Mission description: The kind and wise old man behind you is the anchor of this text world. The task that the host has to complete is to ask him to share some of his love and tolerance for all things with himself."

"It is detected that the host has contacted a key figure, Severus Snape. Start the long-term side quest: Save Yi Nanping. Mission description: The seemingly sinister wizard behind you is the most patient and tenacious existence in this text world. The task that the host has to complete is to let the world know that his bravery is no less than any hero known to the public."

Sun Zhu was silent for a moment, then said uncertainly: "To be honest, although I was mentally prepared, I still felt uncomfortable after hearing about your mission. It's not because of anything else, but because, compared to the three people before, I have less confidence in saving Headmaster Dumbledore and Professor Snape."

Dumbledore's death was carefully planned by himself. He wanted to use his own sacrifice to achieve the final victory.

Snape's death was the path he chose for himself. He knew what would happen if he agreed to be a double agent with Dumbledore and was exposed. But he did not hesitate and chose to walk in the gray area and endure humiliation for justice.

They are all intelligent and responsible people. They are very clear about their responsibilities and even the outcome. Sun Zhu really doesn't know what he should do to rewrite the fate of the martyrs.

What if she used the excuse that she was a prophet to spoil everything to Dumbledore in advance? But the system said that the original plot had inertia, and sometimes even if she interfered, the overall development of things would eventually return to the original track.

If the plot goes completely off track, it may also produce a counterproductive butterfly effect.

Maybe she can successfully save him/her in one way, but after the plot goes off track, he/she will still die for other reasons.

Therefore, it was impossible for her to rush to the headmaster and tell him the final ending. There were only two consequences of doing so. One was that she would be regarded as a lunatic and isolated by most people; the other was that she would successfully attract Voldemort's attention and completely replace Harry's position in his mind.

Then, when she goes to see Merlin, she can answer a question with confidence: What makes that noseless, bald, smiling boy care about you so much?

Sun·Choosing Death·False Savior·Zhu: Because I told his enemies that even if Tom cut himself into several pieces, each piece would be reduced to ashes. Although Tom was eager to unify the wizarding world, in fact, the total number of people under him was equivalent to a village in China, and most of them were born from inbreeding, and were either physically deformed or mentally disabled.

Anyone who was a little bit normal betrayed him, such as Severus Snape. Tom killed the girl he loved the most, but he didn't understand why Snape betrayed him. Another example is Regulus Black. Not only did Voldemort not know when he betrayed him, but even his brother Sirius Black didn't know until he died that his brother was actually a hero.

Sun Zhu closed her eyes and forced herself to calm down. The system was still trying to comfort her and told her to do her best.

"Strange, why hasn't the sorting ceremony started yet?" she heard someone ask at the other end of the long table.

Sun Zhu opened his eyes and felt a little confused.

"Host, please prepare yourself mentally again."

"what?"

"It is detected that the key character in the text is less than 100 meters away from the host, and the key plot mission is about to be triggered."
