The Chinese girl from Hufflepuff is both timid and brave

The Potions classroom was near the Slytherin dungeon. Since it was our first time there, we still needed a prefect to lead the way.

This time they were led by Aiden Blaine, whom they had met before. On the way, he seemed to have a lot to say, but his several attempts to speak failed.

Sun Zhu recalled that senior Cecilia said he was "not good at speaking", and it seemed that it was not an exaggeration at all.

When they were almost there, he finally said, "Have you checked all the scales, weights, and textbooks you need to bring?"

The badgers nodded seriously, and Brian breathed a sigh of relief.

"Why do I feel like Senior Brian seems very nervous?" Karina whispered, "Fina, you don't look too well either."

Fina shook her head and said nothing.

"Senior may just not be good at saying these things." Sun Zhu tried to ease the atmosphere, "The decoration style of the Snake Hospital is very cool."

The Potions classroom is in the dungeon of Hogwarts Castle, where there is also the Slytherin dungeon, the common room and dormitory of the Serpentine House.

Although it is built underground like the Badger House, the Snake House is entirely underwater. It is said that you can see squids swimming by from the window of their lounge.

Therefore, the style of the potion classroom adjacent to their lounge is also low and damp. However, in a sense, it is quite conducive to the preservation of some potion materials that need to be protected from light.

After the badgers entered the classroom, the snakes were already there. Unlike Professor Flitwick, Professor Snape did not have the habit of coming to the classroom early.

Sun Zhu looked at the little snakes with indifferent expressions and felt a little cold for some reason.

"Zhu, why do I feel like we are not welcome here?" Karina whispered, hugging her arms.

"Never mind, we are here to learn, don't worry about other things. Stop talking and check your stuff to avoid any problems later." Sun Zhu reminded in a low voice: "Senior Brad said that the potion class requires cooperation in pairs, who are you going to be in a group with? Me or Fina?"

Karina has always been easily influenced by the outside world, so Sun Zhu and Fina can't help but worry about her.

After all, Slytherins are not the type to initiate conversations, so the atmosphere here is very cold, and the usually active badgers are also cramped. In order to prevent Karina from losing control of her emotions later, they have to keep an eye on her.

"Well, I..." Karina looked a little embarrassed. "I made an appointment with Duke. I'm going with him..."

The lines Sun Zhu had prepared were stuck in his throat, and after a while he said, "Okay..."

Since Karina had a companion, Sun Zhu was in the right group with Fina. She pulled Fina to sit behind Cedric and James Wright and whispered to them, "If Professor Snape only stands in the front to give a lecture and doesn't come over, you two should sit up straight and help block our view."

Sitting behind a tall person can help her hide herself and avoid being targeted. This is the experience she gained from slacking off in an elective course in college in her previous life.

Although she had no intention of slacking off in Potions class, since she was not a Slytherin, it would be better not to be noticed by Professor Snape.

Cedric didn't ask why, he just nodded dumbly.

James looked like he wanted to ask something, but after looking at Fina who remained silent, he hesitated for a moment and turned his head back.

"Let me see, this lady looks familiar." A strange voice suddenly came from the seat of the Serpentine House next to her. "Isn't this Delphine from the Bulstrode family? Did she sit in the wrong seat? She's mixed up with the Hufflepuffs."

Sun Zhu reacted immediately and looked towards the source of the sound.

A boy with light hair and light eyes looked at Fina defiantly, looking like he really deserved a beating.

Fina didn't move, as if she didn't hear anything.

The little badgers, who were already a little uneasy, fell silent after hearing this, not knowing what to do.

The person involved, Fina, did not express her opinion. Sun Zhu was not sure what to do and just looked at her worriedly.

Karina, who was sitting behind her, seemed to want to say something, but was stopped by Duke.

"Nothing to say?" The boy saw that no one was talking, but he didn't feel embarrassed at all, and kept on saying, "Oh, I'm so sorry, I forgot that your lowly Muggle mother has already polluted your blood. You are certainly not worthy of joining the noble Slytherin."

Sun Zhu couldn't help but roll his eyes. Such stupid words could only be said by an eleven-year-old child.

She noticed that several of the other little snakes looked at the boy with disdain, as if they thought he was stupid.

Several badgers couldn't help but say, "Moni Yaxley, what right do you have to curse? Is pureblood so great?"

The boy named Yaxley became even more excited when he saw that he had provoked them. "Half-bloods and punks are inferior to us. They are far inferior in terms of bloodline and magical talent. They are only worthy of looking up to our noble Sacred Twenty-Eight Families."

Fina continued to squeeze the weight in her hand expressionlessly and said nothing, but Sun Zhu noticed that her fingertips had turned white from excessive force.

Yaxley completely irritated Badger House, because Badger House was the house with the most half-bloods and Muggle-bloods. Sun Zhu felt that this idiot was targeting the entire Hufflepuff House rather than provoking Fina.

Cedric looked back at them worriedly, and Sun Zhu gave him a reassuring look, asking him to keep an eye on James Wright, who looked like he was about to go berserk.

There seemed to be a few people at the Serpentine Hospital who were accusing Yaxley, but he blocked their accusations with the same fallacy that "those with impure bloodline are not worthy of speaking".

Good Lord, Sun Zhu realized that they had run into a fanatical pure-blood supporter.

"If you ask me, you don't deserve to continue to be called Bulstrode. If it weren't for that incident..." Yaxley became more and more proud, but the next moment he covered his eyes and shouted.

Fina withdrew her hand expressionlessly, and Sun Zhu was shocked to see that the weight in her hand was gone.

"Fina, how are you?" Karina grabbed her arm and said, "I'm scared to death!"

"I'm fine." Fina looked very relaxed, while Yaxley was babbling in the snake yard, but no one paid any attention to him.

Fina's weight flew past the corner of his eye. It was not known whether the injury was serious, but it was obviously enough to teach him a lesson.

"The weights are flying here." Sun Zhu tried the summoning spell. Although they had not learned it yet, she had used it countless times during the holidays just to be lazy.

The weight that fell in the corner was about to reach her hand, but was grabbed by a hand halfway.

Sun Zhu's outstretched hand froze in mid-air. She looked up and saw the person she least wanted to see but who should be there at the moment was looking at her expressionlessly.

She shuddered and silently withdrew her hand.

Sun Zhu originally wanted to quietly retrieve the tools used in the crime and pretend that nothing had happened. Anyway, there was no surveillance here, so he could insist that Fina had done nothing.

It's a pity that it was intercepted.

Fortunately, Snape did not target her because of this. He only looked coldly at Yaxley who was still howling, took away his hands covering his eyes, took a glance, and said coldly: "Mr. Yaxley, if you are still unwilling to spare your poor professor's ears and insist on maintaining this decibel level before this scratch heals, in order to show your excellent singing voice, I would not mind writing a letter of recommendation for you to a band I am familiar with."

Does Professor Snape have any other familiar bands? Sun Zhu couldn't help but shift his focus.

But seeing his indifferent expression, she realized that he was just scolding Yaxley in different ways.

Yaxley quickly stopped howling, sat quietly in his seat, and just gave Fina another vicious look.

Although the little badgers were worried about Fina, they didn't know what to do at this time. They could only look at Snape standing at the front of the classroom anxiously.

"Miss Delphine Bulstrode." Snape said again: "Even though it was not class time just now, Hufflepuff still lost 10 points for your rudeness."
