"Ah ah ah, did I hear that right? Did I hear that right?" When Karina's excited voice reached Sun Zhu's ears, she was listening to Tongzi's report on the progress of the analysis of the painting.
Without thinking, she said casually: "Yes, Fina's aunt got the gold cup."
"Ahhhhhhhhhh!" Karina seemed to have lost her language function and kept repeating the same syllables in her mouth.
"My dear, calm down..." Sun Zhu tried to persuade her to calm down, but he heard another voice coming from his ears.
"Ah! This is so great! I'm so excited...I feel honored to be able to witness this tonight!"
...It’s Cecilia-senpai.Sun Zhu looked around in confusion and saw that none of her friends had a smile on their face.As for the wealthy family heads, they were all as shocked as if they had seen Merlin, with disbelief on their faces.
"What happened just now?" She looked at Cedric dreamily.
"Well, didn't you hear?" He smiled, with uncontrollable joy in his eyes, "Just now Ms. Burst announced that she would donate the gold cup she won to Hogwarts, in exchange for Delphine's In the name, it will be jointly kept by the Headmaster and Head of Hufflepuff."
"Ah!" Sun Zhu ejected from his seat, "This, this, this..."
"After Gryffindor, another house has regained its founder's treasure." Suddenly, a man dressed as a reporter came from behind them, "Both of them are Hufflepuffs? Can I interview you, please?" How are you feeling at the moment?"
"Hey, Slytherin and Ravenclaw..."
"Oh, my dear girl." She said very familiarly: "I don't know where the treasures of these two houses are. Even if they are not damaged, they are not in their own hands. There is only the Sword of Gryffindor. , has always been in the hands of Gryffindor."
"That's right." Sun Zhu nodded. She looked in the direction of Fina and found that there were already several reporters surrounding her, and Aunt Wilhelmina's place was surrounded by people.
"Where did they come from? Why haven't I seen them before?" Sun Zhu was very surprised.
"We are always here, but you are too focused." The reporter who stayed beside them laughed, "I waited all night, and finally no time was wasted."
"Then you should go find the two Ms. Burst instead of asking us here." Sun Zhu turned to look at the reporter, "After all, the money is not from my family, and we are just ordinary Hufflepuffs. . Of course, we are indeed very excited. No matter how you look at it, everyone is happy that the treasure is returned to its original owner. The generosity of the head of the Burst family not only supports the construction of the Ministry of Magic, but also touches the hearts of the Hufflepuffs. I really admire it. Incredible..."
If I have to make an analogy, it's probably similar to seeing the animal heads of the Old Summer Palace return to China...
"Is this how you feel?" The reporter took a quill from his ear and quickly wrote down, "Oh, you are a Hufflepuff student who knows how to be grateful. Well... what about you?"
She looked at Cedric again.
"Same as her. Excited and admired." His expression remained unchanged.
Sun Zhu reluctantly added: "Yes, yes, every Hufflepuff will be proud of this moment!"
"A strong sense of collective honor." She concluded, "Thank you very much for cooperating with my interview. By the way, my name is Jane Lewis, special reporter and column editor of "Witch Weekly"."
"Are you doing two jobs by yourself?" Sun Zhu glanced at her a few more times, "Witch Weekly sounds familiar."
"The newspaper that gives the award for the most charming smile every year," Cedric reminded.
"...So it's you." Sun Zhu was speechless, "It's your newspaper that selected Lockhart to win this award for five consecutive years?"
"He is indeed charming, isn't he?" Lewis laughed, "But not as charming as your boyfriend. After all, he is already old."
Sun Zhu was stunned and stammered: "What, we are not... what you think. Hey, you can go over there for the interview."
"Oh, I'm sorry, I see you guys have been together all night..." Lewis didn't mean the slightest bit of apology on his face, "But we don't just judge the most charming smile award, all the content that witches are interested in can be found in our newspaper See it up there!”
"Well, what you are actually doing is a gossip magazine." Sun Zhu sighed, "I just hope that I won't be the second Rita Skeeter."
"You also know her?" Lewis flipped up her curly hair, "She loves to make up random things, which is really embarrassing to us Ravenclaws."
Sun Zhu couldn't agree more, and then introduced himself to her like an old friend at first sight, and saw her running towards the crowd in a hurry.
"This Ms. Lewis is so interesting." She looked at the excited Karina and Cecilia on the other side and sighed: "Suddenly, I feel that whether the golden cup is real or not is not that important. Maybe Aunt Wilhelmina I just know that it only needs a symbolic meaning."
Cedric nodded: "Yes."
That reporter lady is really interesting.
"Ahem, they are almost done. Let's go find Mr. Bagman first while everyone's attention is still there."
"What?" Cedric subconsciously followed her up and quickly realized, "That painting..."
"Yes, I now know what is written on those cobblestones." She seemed a little dumbfounded. "It said in Chinese, 'Giving Bamboo'. This must have been done by the principal. I have to ask Bagman What's going on, sir?"
Fortunately, Xiao Tongzi studied ancient characters for a long time, and after going around in circles, he finally discovered that it was in Chinese language - traditional Chinese.It is not wrong to say that it is ancient writing, but this sense of inconsistency made Sun Zhu think that this painting might not really be an antique, otherwise how could the principal have tampered with it.
"The principal is not a person who can use common sense to speculate." Cedric shook his head, "I think if this is a gift he wants to give you, it should be something very useful."
"Well, I also believe that the principal will not give gifts casually, but why would he give me something suddenly."
Bagman wiped the sweat from his palms, handed the handkerchief to the assistant beside him, and looked at Sun Zhu and Cedric.
"The words in the lower right corner of the picture? Oh, I don't know this." He recognized the little girl in front of him as the daughter of his once most effective subordinate, "But I know Hufflepuff can't lie. Take this painting. When no one is looking.”
"Ah, don't you need to verify it? Or should you ask the principal first?" Sun Zhu was very surprised. "And I can't get such a gift for no reason. I have to..."
"Stop asking." Bagman sighed, "I already knew that this painting was going to be given away. If you don't take it away, my mission tonight will not be completed."
"Actually, I just wanted to ask..."
"Then my commission won't be fully settled, you know what I mean?" Bagman continued.
He stuffed the things in the painting bag into her arms and left in a hurry.
"It seems that we have to rely on ourselves to understand the principal's deep meaning." Sun Zhu pinched the bag in his hand, "But if Karina knows about it, she will definitely use her scream to knock Marl off. On the roof of Fu Manor.”
Without thinking, she said casually: "Yes, Fina's aunt got the gold cup."
"Ahhhhhhhhhh!" Karina seemed to have lost her language function and kept repeating the same syllables in her mouth.
"My dear, calm down..." Sun Zhu tried to persuade her to calm down, but he heard another voice coming from his ears.
