The Chinese girl from Hufflepuff is both timid and brave

Sun Zhu left his seat and quietly sat next to Fina.

"Fina, what's wrong with you?" Sun Zhu decided to get straight to the point. "Are you feeling unwell? Everyone is worried about you. You didn't eat anything tonight."

"It's nothing, I just have a headache, it's an old problem." She smiled self-deprecatingly, "Everyone cares about me. Does this 'everyone' include you, a total of two people?"

"Well... at least three, me, Karina, and Seide. Let me tell you, in China, the number three represents infinity. One gives birth to two, two gives birth to three, and three gives birth to all things. So the three of us represent a lot of people..."

Sun Zhu didn't care whether she could understand or not. He fooled her for a while, and then when she wasn't paying attention, he took a bunch of things and put them on her plate.

"Don't waste it, or Ms. Helga will be sad, and the house elves will be sad too."

"I'm beginning to understand why you're so lovable." Fina took a bite of pudding and chuckled.

"Really? Thank you for the compliment." Sun Zhu admitted without hesitation, "If you really feel unwell, I can accompany you to the school clinic. If you feel uncomfortable, um...if there is anything we can help with, you can also tell me."

"Don't worry, I will." Fina finished a pudding and looked at the distance. "Aren't you going back?"

"You don't think I'm nagging you, do you?" Sun Zhu pretended to be hurt.

"Not really, as long as you don't mind my indifference."

They chatted on and off until the food on the plates in front of them disappeared. Soon the tableware was refreshed and desserts were served again.

Various flavors of ice cream, jelly, chocolate cake, donuts, fruit pudding...

Even the desserts after the meal were so sumptuous.

Sinful, but addictive.

After dessert, the table returned to its original state, everyone stopped talking and sat at the table properly.

Dumbledore stood up from his seat, walked to the four long tables and said, "Now that everyone has eaten and drunk enough, I would like to say a few more words to everyone. At the beginning of the term, I would like to give you a few points of attention."

"First-year students, please note that students are not allowed to enter the forbidden forest on campus. There are many dangerous animals in it that students are not equipped to deal with. If you don't want to be in any danger, please keep this in mind. Similarly, senior students also need to keep this in mind."

Sun Zhu wanted to laugh faintly. She guessed that the twins must be very excited after hearing this prohibition.

Just as she was thinking this, she suddenly heard Fred's voice from the Gryffindor table far away: "That's cool, George, we must try it."

"Of course, if they didn't specifically say it was forbidden, I wouldn't want to go there."

Sun Zhu looked over there in surprise, but unfortunately one was at the far left and the other at the far right. There were two large tables of people from the Snake Courtyard and the Eagle Courtyard between them, so she couldn't see where they were at all.

But she was sure that the twins were not talking in her ear just now, so how did the discussion reach her ears?

"Host, because you have recently added multiple mission targets, and they gather in the same place most of the time, your [Mission Identification] function has been upgraded to the intermediate level. When you are no more than 100 meters away from the target person, as long as you think of his name in your mind, you can hear his voice. The validity period is one minute, and the same person can only be used once a day. When it is upgraded to the advanced level, the effective distance, time and number of times will increase, and you can also talk to them remotely..."

"Wait a minute, this skill is a bit outrageous. Isn't this disrespectful of other people's privacy?" Sun Zhu was a little entangled, "I'm afraid I won't be able to control myself and will always gossip about others."

"You can control yourself. I believe in you." The system always has inexplicable confidence in her.

"I can't. I really can't control it. This skill is for me to use to save people in critical moments, right? But I'm afraid I won't be able to control myself all of a sudden..." Sun Zhu said frankly, "For example, I really want to know what Sirius is talking to Professor McGonagall right now."

Sirius and Professor McGonagall sat next to each other in the teacher's seat, and they would talk to each other from time to time. Most of the time, Professor McGonagall would tell him something, and Sirius would respond.

"Don't worry, I know what I should do. Now I am no longer a student. After going through so much, I know clearly what is important. I promise I will never take the initiative to cause trouble." He emphasized the word "take the initiative".

"I hope you can really do what you say, Professor Black." Professor McGonagall replied with a smile.

"...Sorry, I didn't mean it." Sun Zhu was a little embarrassed, "But this skill is really useful."

By the time Sun Zhu reacted, Dumbledore had finished speaking. He swept his gentle eyes over everyone at the four tables and smiled, "Okay, before everyone goes back to their dormitories to rest, let's sing the school song together!"

Not sure if it was an illusion, but it was the first time Sun Zhu caught the same expression on Sirius and Snape's faces: stiff.

Dumbledore was completely unaware of this and simply waved his wand lightly. A long golden ribbon flew out of the wand and formed a snake-shaped text in the air above the tall dining table.

"Everyone please sing in your favorite tune!" said Dumbledore. "Ready, sing!"

Sun Zhu followed the people around him and silently sang in the tune of "Two Tigers".

Fina, on the other hand, was humming a melodious tune with a focused expression.

"It's really beautiful. What song is this?" Sun Zhu asked after she finished singing.

"It's a Muggle nursery rhyme my grandmother taught me when I was a child." Fina had a faint smile on her lips, and it can be seen that she was in a much better mood than before.

"Fina, you look really good when you smile." Sun Zhu said, "Smile more from now on."

"Music is such a wonderful thing." Dumbledore exclaimed, "It's bedtime now, everyone can go back and rest."

The first-year students lined up behind their class leaders. This year, the female Hufflepuff class leader was Cecilia Baker, a gentle senior with brown hair and square-framed glasses. The male class leader was Aiden Braine, a senior who looked particularly serious and a top student.

They followed the two men into a dark area where many large wooden barrels were placed.

"Next, please remember everything I tell you. First of all, on behalf of the college, I welcome everyone to join our warm family, Hufflepuff." Cecilia pushed her glasses on the bridge of her nose and smiled at them. "Your senior Brian is not good at speaking, so let him demonstrate how to enter our common room by knocking on the wooden barrel."

Brian smiled at them, then lay on the ground and began to beat rhythmically on the bottom of the barrel in the middle of the second row.

"You don't need a password to enter our common room, but you need to knock on the correct barrel in the correct way. 'Helga Hufflepuff' is the name of our house's founder. Knocking on it in this rhythm will allow you to successfully open the entrance to the common room. If you remember the wrong barrel or the wrong number of times, vinegar will be poured out of the barrel next to it."

Just as he finished speaking, he saw that the lid of the wooden barrel was successfully opened, revealing a passage wide enough for one person to pass through, leading directly to the underground lounge.
