After binding the comprehension system, I crossed into Hogwarts

Chapter 284 The So-Called Bravery



Neville stared blankly at Sun Zhu, forgetting to cry.It was the first time he heard someone scolding his grandma like this in front of him - the most authoritative and respected existence in his mind.

If it was someone else, he would shake his fist at him in protest anyway.But this person is a senior who he also respects very much.

Yes, even if she is only two years older than him, he still regards her as an "elder".

"I...you..." He murmured, but couldn't finish a sentence.

He was, as his grandma said, a coward.

"You think my words are not pleasant, do you think I've said something wrong?" Sun Zhu raised his eyebrows, "Even if you don't like to hear it, I will say it."

Cedric glanced at Neville and saw that he seemed a little dazed, so he said helplessly to Sun Zhu: "Let's have lunch first, it's getting cold."

"Neville, you are crying here because you think that instead of going to Gryffindor, those who come to Hufflepuff are cowards? If you don't go to the academy that represents courage, it means you have no courage?" Sun Zhu said from the side Derek took a piece of strawberry pie from the plate in front of him and took a bite.

Neville shook his head, pursing his lips.

"Do you know when you looked the most like a coward?" She swallowed the food a few times, drank a few mouthfuls of honey water, then turned her head to look at Neville who was silent and said, "It's just now that you've been sent an email. When the letter made you cry a lot. Are all your grandma’s words sacred in your eyes? Wouldn’t you question her when she scolded you?”

She rubbed her temples with a headache, and while annoyed that she shouldn't be impulsive to meddle in other people's family affairs, she also felt that Neville, who had been denied and belittled by her family, really should be pushed.

Perhaps not everyone has the courage and ability to overthrow the existence of authority that he has identified with for a long time, which means that what he has always insisted on and believed in will no longer exist. Even if these persistences make him painful, they still support him to live motivation.

But she believed Neville had the potential - not because he was supposed to be a 'Gryffindor', of course.

She poured a cup of hot water, handed it to Neville, and said in a slow tone: "Actually, I had some expectations for you that I couldn't speak out, so I was a little impulsive just now. Of course your grandma is a respectable elder. You are strong in every way, that’s why you were raised so well. You may not know that you have accomplished a great thing, but no one knows how good you are, and they misunderstand you because of it—even that person Still the person closest to you."

Neville took the water subconsciously, and looked at her stupidly, until Cedric reminded: "You just cried for too long, please add some water first."

Neville lowered his head in a daze, and gulped down the water.

Cedric passed Neville and looked at Sun Zhu, whose cheeks were bulging again.

He really wanted to ask her, what was expected of Neville?She seems to have some extra special feelings for many people, but she has no idea where they come from.

He seemed a bit blocked in his heart, but what position did he have to ask her?

He is not as magnanimous and calm as others imagined, and sometimes he even dislikes his own narrowness-why should he care about this, and also care about that?

He lowered his head slightly, trying to hide the shadow in his eyes.

He still cares about how Bamboo comforts him when others encounter sad things. This is not what a Hufflepuff should do.

"...Yes, choosing to come to Hufflepuff is precisely the greatest thing you have done so far."

Neville, who had no system, didn't know the plot of the original book, and didn't have any "golden fingers", as an "original character" whose fate was arranged, was able to go against "the sky" and change his own academy on his own initiative.

"Your grandma thinks you are running away, and you feel the same way?" Sun Zhu continued to ask.

Cedric watched her quietly, only hearing her voice, and Longbottom's reply was completely ignored by him.

"Why do you all think that coming to Hufflepuff means that you don't have to face any danger? Only the adventures and challenges of Gryffindors are called stories, and everything in Hufflepuff is just a background decoration?" Her The voice seemed to be a little crazy, "I thought that only those corrupt and backward pure-blood families would care about their children not going to Slytherin, but I didn't expect..."

"Because your parents are both Gryffindors? Is it true that only Gryffindors are worthy of being Aurors? Do you know that Mr. Newt Scamander, the famous expert on magical beasts—brother, Theseus Scar Mander, he used to be the chief Auror of the Ministry of Magic, he was well-known, and he also participated in the fight against the first generation of Dark Lord Gellert Grindelwald! And my senior sister, Tonks, will soon become an official The Aurors..."

"Sorry, I thought of another senior of mine who has already graduated. If she was here, she would be able to reason with you... But I, I just want to say that even your closest relatives have no right to This denies you."

Then there was a long silence. The girl seemed to be tired of talking, but also seemed to regret that she had talked too much, so she simply ate her lunch that was not very hot.

Cedric finally turned his gaze back to Neville. The blond boy's hand holding the letter had already been loosened. He was staring at the back of his hand, as if he was thinking about something.

Originally, I just came to the restaurant to save some of Zhu's favorite meals, but after I met this little badger who was crying alone in the corner after he excitedly opened the owl's letter.

He has an impression of this little badger. Delfina once mentioned that Zhuzeng specially gave him a birthday cake.

Some unexplainable complex emotions linger in his heart, including concern and curiosity, and a trace of concern that cannot be ignored.

It is very easy for him to pry open the mouth of someone who is really looking for someone to talk to, but most of the time he just listens and does not express his opinion.

Not everyone is good at sorting out other people's family affairs, and he doesn't know Longbottom well.Although subconsciously, he felt a little helpless about the contempt of Hufflepuff by the other parent's parents, but all he could do was tell him that which college he was in was not that important, and he didn't need to care too much about the misunderstanding of the elders.

But Zhu, who has always been kind and friendly, was furious when he came, and directly asserted that Longbottom's elder was wrong, and even taught him to sing against his grandma...

"Still in a daze, are you frightened by me?" The warm breath suddenly brushed his side face, Cedric came back to his senses, and saw Sun Zhu who was leaning over and standing beside him, with his eyes bent looked at him with a smile.

Longbottom next to him had disappeared.

"I sent Neville to write an answer to his grandma. Write down everything that happened to him when he saw the letter - maybe even include what I said to her, although he didn't seem to dare - let his grandma I know how much harm my words have brought to her grandson." Seeing his puzzled expression, Sun Zhu simply explained: "I know Mrs. Augusta must love Neville, but the way of expressing it is not suitable for him now. It is also a kind of bravery for Neville to tell his grandma his truest thoughts openly and honestly."

Cedric nodded, and then saw her smile again: "Are you trying to ask, why should I meddle in Neville's business?"
