The Chinese girl from Hufflepuff is both timid and brave

Chapter 157: Peeves

Most of the students in Hogwarts on Saturday were from lower grades, as the older students had already gone to Hogsmeade to play with their guardians' consent letters.

Of course, if you are a player on the college Quidditch team, you may have to sacrifice some of your rest time.

Sun Zhu tightened his thick hospital robe and fell into deep thought while holding the hot cocoa in his hand.

Right now, she was on her way to the restaurant with her roommates and teammates, along with players from Gryffindor and Ravenclaw. There were nearly twenty people in the group, a large and conspicuous group.

"Zhu, when did Cedric become so close to your friend?" Karina asked, pulling her sleeve closer.

"Good question. I want to know too." Sun Zhu took a sip of cocoa and shook his head.

"Hey, listen to me, we really envy you." Fred came over with a baseball bat. Sun Zhu blinked in confusion and saw George and Angelina beside him nodding at the same time.

"What do you mean?" Karina's eyes widened and she looked around. "I envy you that we are close to the kitchen. Can we go back for a snack after training?"

"Oh..." George covered his face sadly, "Another reason to be envious."

"So, what you mean?" Sun Zhu guessed, "You envy us for not having to climb extra high stairs to get back to the dormitory after training?"

"Great, we have one more reason to be envious!" The twins looked at each other and screamed together.

Angelina pushed them apart and sighed, "Although these are enviable, what we want most is to be able to play in the game directly. This year, the three of us plus my friends Katie and Alia are all substitutes! But you guys, once you join, you will be official team members and can play in every game."

Sun Zhu and Karina looked at each other and saw helplessness in each other's eyes.

"This blessing is for you... Never mind, I know you want it."

"Come on, are you here to show off? The number of Gryffindor substitutes is almost exceeding that of the regular players!"

"But we still need a replacement for the Seeker." Angelina shook her head and was about to say something, but was suddenly interrupted by a scream.

"Who? Who took my drink?"

Sun Zhu saw Trok in the team ahead looking around with his eyes wide open, while James beside him was looking at him in confusion.

At the same time, the Ravenclaw girls walking in front screamed even louder: "Someone is pulling my hair!"

"…Who spilled hot cocoa on my clothes?"

"Who put this moldy bread in my hat?!" A Gryffindor boy was so angry that he jumped up and down.

Fred and George said at the same time: "Cool!"

"What...what's going on?" Karina looked around nervously.

"Zhu, are you... are you okay?" Cedric ran to her through the somewhat chaotic crowd. Not far away, Captain Field and Senior Sister Cecilia drew their wands and pointed them in the air. Anna and Fina waved in their direction from behind them.

"I'm fine. It looks like someone is playing a prank on me." Sun Zhu also held his wand and looked around vigilantly. "If I'm not mistaken, it should be..."

"Hiss——" Fred touched his head, "Who attacked me?"

Cedric bent down and picked up an ink bottle cap. Fred frowned and asked, "Is that the one that attacked me just now?"

"Someone hit you on the head with it," Angelina said. "You should be thankful that it's just an ink bottle cap, not a bottle filled with ink. Otherwise, your head would be full of colorful flowers."

"Cool." George exclaimed.

"Oh, you are such a good brother to me." Fred glanced at him.

"Zhu, come over here. I think I just saw a shadow running over there." Cedric turned around and pointed in a certain direction.

"Don't panic, it's Peeves," Cecilia called out to them. "He just likes to play pranks."

"I knew it was him! Damn it, he ruined my uniform!"

Sun Zhu smiled at Cedric: "It's okay. The more nervous you are, the easier it is for Peeves to target you. I..."

Suddenly, a shadow wearing bright clothes and a hat passed over her head, laughed, and threw something at her.

Fortunately, Cedric was quick to catch the thing.

Peeves walked away with a wicked smile, continuing to throw things at everyone.

Rotten fruit, moldy bread, empty ink bottle, broken quill pen...

"Collapse!"

“Shattered into pieces!!”

Several senior students drew their wands and cast spells at the shadow that kept dodging in the air, but Peeves ran very fast this time and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

"Clean it up! Clean it up! Get it back to normal!" Those who had been successfully played a prank by Peeves were busy cleaning up each other's belongings, and there were bursts of cursing in the corridor.

Sun Zhu looked at what Cedric was holding, curious: "What is this?"

"A notebook." He shook the old book in his hand and said, "Perhaps Peeves stole someone's notebook and used it to play a prank."

"Looks a little familiar..." Sun Zhu took the notebook and turned to the name page: "Maybe I know the owner."

"Tang..." Cedric leaned over to take a look, but the notebook was quickly closed by Sun Zhu.

She looked up in shock, and her forehead unexpectedly hit something hard. She subconsciously took a half step back and saw Cedric holding his chin and looking at her in surprise.

"Oh! Hug..."

"No...hiss--it's okay, don't say sorry." He rubbed his chin and looked at her red forehead. "Does it hurt?"

"Ah?" Sun Zhu touched his red forehead belatedly and shook his head, "I'm fine too."

"What's wrong with you? Is there something wrong with this diary?"

Karina and the others nearby also leaned over curiously.

"Um, I just suddenly remembered that this is someone else's privacy. We can't just look at it casually." She looked at the people around her and changed the subject abruptly, "Is Peeves gone? Are you all okay?"

"It's okay. I'm just a little annoyed by him." Anna shook her sleeves. "I don't know who wanted to attack Peeves with water, but ended up spraying it on me."

"Ah, it might be me, I'm so sorry." Trok raised his hand weakly to claim the responsibility.

“Please, forget about it this time, but don’t be so accurate in the game.” Anna said depressedly: “You are a batsman!”

"Well done, Troch! Keep it up in the game! Hit the Bludgers at your teammates!" laughed the Gryffindor Beater.

"I agree." The Ravenclaw boy echoed loudly.

Sun Zhu clenched the diary in his hand amid the noise of everyone.

"Are you okay?" Cedric asked her quietly.

"I'm fine. Well, I happen to know the owner of this notebook, so I'll return it to him." Sun Zhu nodded at him in a relaxed tone.

"You...you know..." Cedric hesitated for a moment, but quickly agreed: "Okay."

"Let's go eat quickly," Carina sighed, "or else Peeves might come back again."

Fina walked over to them, and Sun Zhu noticed that her braids were loosened by Peeves.

"Next time we encounter it, we must not let it get away like this."

"That's right." Sun Zhu nodded to her and said, "We need to teach him a lesson."

"Well, don't take it too seriously. There is no student at Hogwarts who has not suffered at the hands of Peeves." Cecilia smiled, "You will get used to it after a while."
