Chapter 443 About the Cultivation of Habits
As the curfew approached, Sun Zhu placed a heavy metal badge in yellow and black with the word "prefeCt" engraved on his chest, inserted his wand into the inner pocket of his hospital robe, and then slowly set off from the dormitory.
Tonight is her first day of official duties as a prefect. Before that, the teachers at Hogwarts had already worked for them for many days under Dumbledore's arrangements.
The Gryffindors were complaining about this, and they were deducted 30 points at the beginning of the school year for the first time - mostly due to the new students. Because the freshmen haven't had time to appreciate how scary the professors are, especially a certain professor, they are often easily caught red-handed while unleashing their natural instincts.
Percy convened a meeting of prefects for this purpose. After confirming that their physical condition was recovering well, he quickly applied. After curfew, they were still supervised by the prefects.
"Because the prefect does not have the authority to deduct points, this makes him feel more at ease." Sun Zhu explained: "In most cases, there will be no danger, and it's not like last semester, when there was a basilisk that was scary. If anything can happen to me, it’s good if I don’t cause trouble.”
"I'm not worried about you, I just want to know when you will get down to business." Uncle Long, who was curled up on her shoulders, shook his beard, "According to what you said before, the female snake demon will do it in the future. He is the Demon King’s right-hand man. But now that he has used it for his own purposes, it’s time to deal with the Demon King.”
"No hurry, no rush, it's not the right time yet."
"When is the time?" Uncle Long was impatient, "If we don't destroy him before he recovers, do we have to wait until he fattens up before fighting him?"
"As you know, in order to save Harry's life, we have to make some detours." Sun Zhu reached out and tapped Uncle Long's little head, "Don't worry, things will be done one by one. of."
"Excuse!" Uncle Long pointed, "I think you are just delaying, you are hopeless!"
"Ahem, there's someone coming in front of you, do you want to... get out of the way?"
A young man wearing a hood and cloak walked towards them. He was holding a long-handled umbrella in his hand. His black robe was stained with a little bit of moisture. He looked at them with helpless eyes.
Is it really okay for such a conspicuous person and a dragon to walk around the campus like this?
Sun Zhu also looked at him and said before Uncle Long got angry: "Sed, did you just come back from Madam Pomfrey?"
"Well, she said that I should go to her place for a physical check-up the next day. But I think I have..."
"I don't want you to think that she is a doctor and only what she says matters." Sun Zhu interrupted him directly and glanced at the dragon on his shoulder. "I let you go because you haven't fully recovered yet."
"Well, you're right." Cedric stood up straight in front of her obediently, lowering his head slightly to watch her frowning seriously, hearing her chatter in his ears.
"So it's raining outside, why don't you hold an umbrella when you go out? Don't try to deny it. I saw the raindrops on your clothes. Now I want to use the hot air spell to dry them, but it's too late. You know you have an umbrella, but you don't want to hold it , If you don’t pay attention to details, how can we do big things together in the future? Said, Master Jianguo has placed high hopes on you, you can’t always take it so lightly.”
"That's right, Xiao Sai, you make this Dragon God worry too much!"
Uncle Long snorted. The previous "incarnation" of the golden dragon was sent to Pumpkin Sauce for maintenance for free, so today he used his true form to come out and walk with her.
It was rare for him to have such leisurely time, all because she said that there might be something unusual going on in school, and she needed to check it out in advance. Comrade Jianguo felt that she was finally ready to start the serious business of exterminating demons and defending Taoism, and he must participate.
As soon as she went out, she was interrupted by Comrade Seder who was coming towards her. It was not easy for her to coax this guy out. She would have to make someone feel a little wronged.
"He already knows that he was wrong. Jianguo, please don't get along with him."
"You haven't recovered your health yet? You can't be so sick." Uncle Long flicked a golden light onto him, making Cedric squint his eyes. "The human body is really fragile, but if you follow this uncle, We can’t be so embarrassed.”
Sun Zhu nodded happily: "With you protecting him, I feel more at ease."
"Of course, I..." Uncle Long shook his horns, "But why do I feel like I've been fooled?"
Sun Zhu ignored him and reached out to pat the raindrops on someone's robe: "So it should be okay to go on night patrol tonight, right? Otherwise, you go back to the dormitory to rest first."
"Of course there is no problem." He muttered quietly, "Especially under the care of, well, Mr. Jianguo, I have recovered as before."
He looked at the golden light shrouding his body unaccustomedly, and looked at Sun Zhu with a slightly hesitant look.
"Just think of it as the Eastern version of 'armor protection'. Don't panic, although this light is dazzling, only you can see it. In a sense, it's no worse than the amulet I gave you."
"Although I believe this is very powerful, but..." He stretched out his hand and pressed his heart, "They cannot be compared."
Sun Zhu glanced at the looming bead on his wrist, and then turned his gaze back: "Then let's get down to business first. I have already discussed it with the Gryffindor prefects. Today we are responsible for going on night patrol near their tower. , they came to us, and the two colleges exchanged supervision."
Cedric nodded, calmly walked to the position half a shoulder behind her on the right side, changed the umbrella to his right hand, and pointed in the direction of Gryffindor Tower: "Based on our pace, we can officially I made it before curfew, but there was still a burst of rain on the way to the tower, so luckily I brought the umbrella you gave me."
"So why did you come here in the rain just now? Besides, don't you already know how to avoid the rain? You can't do this even if you are in good health."
She didn't know why people in the country didn't like to hold umbrellas. She went to the Chinese Muggle Supermarket to pick out this umbrella before school started, and gave one to each of these careless guys. It turned out that this guy was so good that he didn’t even know how to hold an umbrella when it rained. Who on earth was praising him so highly?
Feeling the girl's resentment, Cedric gently touched her lower back with his free left hand, looked at her pitifully with his gray eyes reflecting the light of the wall lamp, and whispered: "I know I was wrong, please do it in the future." You keep supervising me, and if it happens again next time, I’ll let you punish me, okay?”
Sun Zhu only felt a slight tingling sensation coming from the place where he touched her, like an electric shock. With the moisture around his body still lingering, he gently held her. She pursed her lips slightly and did not avoid it. Instead, she patted his palm lightly and said, "This is what you said. From now on, leave it to me to cultivate your habits. If you dare to be disobedient..."
"Don't dare not listen."
"Hey, let me tell you, what are you two mumbling about?" The sleepy Uncle Long on his shoulder said dissatisfied: "It's just such a small thing, what's the matter. The people covered by this Dragon God, it doesn't matter if they get wet, what if you... If you think about it, when I regain some strength, it won’t even rain here.”
"I know you are the best." Sun Zhu lightly shrugged, walked out of the underground Hufflepuff corridor, and came to the open-air corridor connected to the main tower. A black umbrella with thin turmeric stripes on the black bottom was suspended above her. The top of her head covered her with the rain in the sky.
"Let's go, this semester has really begun."
