The Chinese girl from Hufflepuff is both timid and brave

The breakfast at Hogwarts was still sumptuous, but with more porridge than the dinner. When they arrived, there were already quite a few people gathered at the four long tables.

Most of the people sitting at the long table in Badger Court were first-year students. There was still some time before the first class, so it seemed that they had arrived early.

"Good morning! Karina!" Duke suddenly sat next to them with a plate.

But he was not so familiar with Sun Zhu and Fina. It was obvious that Sun Zhu scared him yesterday.

I just don't know how he and Karina became familiar with each other.

Sun Zhu and Fina looked at each other and decided that it was more important to eat first.

"Things are not looking good for us this morning!" Duke said suddenly.

"What do you mean?" Karina looked humbly seeking advice.

"Don't you know? The head of Ravenclaw is the professor of Charms, Professor Filius Flitwick." Duke said in his usual exaggerated tone, "And our first class is Charms with Ravenclaw. Hum, then it is very likely that only Ravenclaw will get extra points."

Sun Zhu rolled his eyes silently behind his back, then lowered his voice and said to Fina, "Hall always speaks like this... naively. If you hear him say something weird again, don't take it seriously."

In fact, she wanted to say that Duke was stupid, but she held back. After all, he didn't offend her much, and it was not nice to say bad things about people behind their backs.

But Duke was gossipy and silly, and she was worried that one day he would talk nonsense and be heard by Fina, making her unhappy, so she decided to take precautions early.

Fina laughed softly, "Well, he speaks very innocently and in a very loud voice."

"You mean, professors are partial to students from their own college?" Karina asked in disbelief, "Why? We are all students of the professors and should not be treated differently."

Duke shrugged. "But it's inevitable that professors will be partial. Let me tell you, the only person in Hogwarts who is not partial is our Professor Sprout."

"Don't talk nonsense." Sun Zhu, who was forced to listen to the entire conversation, couldn't help but interrupt: "Professor Flitwick and Professor McGonagall are both fair people. They will not treat students differently because of different colleges. The same goes for professors of other subjects. After all, they are not concurrently deans, so there is no need to be partial."

"Zhu, what about Professor Snape?" Carina reminded quietly, "You won't forget him, will you? Our second class is Potions class with Slytherin."

Sun Zhu was silent.

Professor Snape...if she wanted to say that he was completely impartial, that would be a lie, but at least they should be glad that they were not Gryffindors.

"Well, at least he won't specifically target us." Sun Zhu said uncertainly: "Don't assume that something is bad just because it hasn't happened yet. Didn't you say last night that you would work hard to get extra points? Then show some confidence!"

Karina glanced at Duke and said, "I don't know why, but I'm starting to get scared."

Duke's eyes widened as he asked, "Sun, how do you know so much about the teachers in the school?"

"Ah? This..." Sun Zhu was speechless for a moment. Could she say that it was because she had used a cheat?

"Because we have many friends who study in different colleges, it is not difficult to learn about the different teaching styles of professors from them." Cedric suddenly appeared and sat next to Duke.

He glanced at Sun Zhu and said, "Morning."

"Good morning, the breakfast at school tastes very good. Aunt Fiona is absolutely right. Come and try it." Sun Zhu was very grateful to him. A true friend is there to help you out at the critical moment.

Cedric nodded and patted Duke on the shoulder. "My suggestion is that instead of worrying about the professors not paying attention to you for one reason or another, you should focus on improving your own abilities. At least make sure you don't make mistakes, so that the professors won't have a reason to deduct points."

"Come on, Seth, it's not that easy. I can't guarantee that I won't make mistakes anyway." Duke pouted, "I hope all professors are as soft-hearted as Professor Sprout."

Sun Zhu glanced at Cedric who was also helpless.

In fact, he didn't know that if someone wanted to deliberately ignore or find fault, it would be useless no matter how perfect he was. But Harry hadn't entered school yet this year, and she believed that Professor Snape wouldn't have such a bad temper. Even if he wouldn't give them preferential treatment, he wouldn't deliberately target them.

Therefore, it is most useful to try your best to make sure that he cannot find any fault with you.

Although few people can do it.

After breakfast, they were led by the class leader to the Charms classroom on the second floor. Although Professor Flitwick was not very tall, he looked knowledgeable and kind.

Karina secretly breathed a sigh of relief and whispered to her, "Zhu, I'm more willing to trust you than Duke!"

"Of course. Hall likes to exaggerate the situation. Don't believe him." Sun Zhu couldn't help but speak out his true feelings.

"It is my honor to teach your first class at Hogwarts." Professor Flitwick said, "In order to help you better understand this course, I will not talk about anything too difficult today. I will only give you a basic understanding."

"I think some students have learned from the textbook 'Standard Spells, Elementary' that a spell is used to add specific properties to an object or creature. It is not exactly the same as the Transfiguration that Professor McGonagall is going to teach you. It is more inclined to make the object being spelled 'do something' rather than 'become something'."

He waved his wand and the textbooks on the desk floated up.

"This is a silent spell. You will learn it in your senior years, provided that you have mastered enough basic knowledge by then." Professor Flitwick smiled and looked at the surprised students.

"And what I want to tell you today is that in order to cast a spell successfully, you need to concentrate, wave your wand correctly, and pronounce the spell accurately. If you do it wrong, not only will it fail to have the desired effect, but there is also the risk of the spell backfiring."

He spent a lot of time admonishing the first graders to take this subject seriously and not treat it as a trick that can be used casually, let alone learn other "improved and innovative" "wild magic spells that have not been confirmed to be harmless by the Ministry of Magic or other authoritative organizations" besides those in the textbooks.

"Every year I remind all students like this, but there are always people who are either overconfident or extremely stupid and cause trouble of one kind or another." Professor Flitwick shook his head. "Now, is there any student who can show me a spell in the textbook?"

Duke lowered his voice and asked, "What? You want us to demonstrate before we even start teaching?"

Most of the little badgers were as panicked as he was, but many of the little eagles raised their hands.

"Mr Sherman Orpington," said Flitwick.

A boy with short chestnut hair and a handsome appearance stood up. He waved his wand and recited a spell clearly, and the blue textbook in front of him turned white.

"Very good colour-changing spell. Five points to Ravenclaw," said Professor Flitwick with a smile.

The remaining eaglets raised their hands higher.

Many of the little badgers were eager to try. Sun Zhu noticed that the taciturn, athletic-looking boy next to Cedric also raised his hand.

If I remember correctly, his name seemed to be James Wright. The reason why Sun Zhu could remember his name was because he felt that this name was very dangerous.

Getting too close to one key person, hoping not to be noticed by another key person.

"Mr. Cedric Diggory," Professor Flitwick called again.

Cedric stood up and waved his wand gently. Before Sun Zhushang could react, he heard Duke suddenly burst into laughter.

"Oh, a very skilled Happy Charm, very interesting." Professor Flitwick also smiled happily, "5 points for Hufflepuff."

The little badgers all cheered together, except Duke, who covered his mouth with a look of panic, not knowing what he was so happy about.

"It's so interesting, Zhu. Professor Flitwick is so nice!" Carina hugged her arms, "I'm already looking forward to the upcoming Potions class. I hope Professor Snape will be as kind as this!"

Sun Zhu touched her face reluctantly: "I believe I won't let you down."
