Zhang Qiu, just by the name, you can tell she is Zhang Dong's sister, but Zhang Dong only has this one sister, and he doesn't know any Zhang Chun or Zhang Xia.
Typically, if the age gap between siblings is small, their relationship might not be very harmonious. However, due to Zhang Dong's time travel, he has always acted more maturely since childhood, playing with Zhang Qiu every day, giving others the impression that Zhang Dong is the one acting like the older brother.
But because of this, as Zhang Qiu grew up, she always wanted to take charge, trying to present herself as the older sister for everyone to see.
Looking at Zhang Dong turning around, Zhang Qiu smiled at him and said,
"What's wrong? Are you unhappy to see me?"
After saying that, she naturally walked up and took Zhang Dong's hand, leading him towards the dining hall. She even deliberately positioned herself half a step ahead, as if this could prove to others that she was indeed the older sister.
In fact, no one misunderstood, as there were only the two of them from Huaxia in the entire Hogwarts, and everyone could easily tell their relationship.
Being pulled by Zhang Qiu, Zhang Dong helplessly looked at her and said, "Zhang Qiu, I haven't just arrived at Hogwarts; I know the way to the dining hall..."
"Call me sister! Also, you said you've been at Hogwarts for several days now, and look at you, you haven't come to see me at all." Zhang Qiu looked at Zhang Dong with displeasure. While she might maintain her elegant demeanor around others to uphold her image as the house flower, she felt no need to hold back around Zhang Dong, who had grown up with her since they were little.
In reality, because she had a younger brother now, Zhang Qiu's personality had changed significantly from her original timeline. Those with siblings should understand this well; when they are out, they dress beautifully and act gracefully, but at home, if they don’t go out, they might not even wash their hair! Zhang Qiu wasn't that extreme, but her personality had indeed shifted.
"I’ve just been busy..." Zhang Dong scratched his head awkwardly.
Indeed, he had been at Hogwarts for several days and hadn’t visited Zhang Qiu even once, which was a bit inappropriate.
Upon hearing Zhang Dong's words, Zhang Qiu looked at him with a resentful gaze and said,
"Sigh... Busy, huh? Being busy is good."
"Zhang Qiu, enough! You haven't come to see me either."
"I was busy too!"
"Busy? What could you possibly be busy with? Excuses, all excuses." Zhang Dong looked at Zhang Qiu in confusion.
Logically speaking, second-year little wizards should be the most relaxed among all seven grades; what could she possibly be busy with?
"Not true! I've been practicing flying spells! I'm preparing to participate in this year's Ravenclaw Quidditch tryouts." Zhang Qiu said proudly, puffing out her still-developing chest as she looked at Zhang Dong.
However, Zhang Dong merely glanced at her and bluntly advised, "Listen, don’t waste your time; you have no talent for Quidditch, and if you participate, you'll just get bullied."
"Zhang Dong! Do you have no confidence in your sister at all? Don't you remember? I've been practicing for a long time with the goal of joining the Tattershill Tornado team. Just wait until my competition; don’t forget to cheer for me!"
"Got it." Zhang Dong sighed helplessly, then had little hope for her.
After all, in the original timeline, Zhang Qiu only officially joined the Ravenclaw team in her third year; now that she was only in her second year, even if she joined, she would probably just be sitting on the sidelines watching.
After reminding Zhang Dong to definitely come watch her compete, Zhang Qiu returned to her Ravenclaw seat to wait for dinner, while Zhang Dong sat back down in his Gryffindor spot.
Seeing Zhang Dong return, Hermione immediately asked curiously, "Zhang Dong, was that just now your sister?"
"Yeah." Zhang Dong nodded.
Upon hearing Zhang Dong's confirmation, Hermione finally showed a happy smile.
At that moment, Malfoy, accompanied by Crabbe and Goyle, approached Zhang Dong and the others. Before Zhang Dong could speak, Ron chimed in,
"Malfoy, what do you want now? Haven't you had enough of a beating during the day?"
"Enough, Ron! Put away that ugly face of yours! Today, it was Zhang Dong who defeated us, not you!" Malfoy shot Ron a disdainful glance before turning to Zhang Dong with a fierce expression and said,
"Zhang Dong, I don't want to waste time talking to you. We lost to you today because we weren't prepared. Tonight, the three of us want to have a proper wizard duel with you. What do you say? Are you up for it?"
What a poor attempt at provocation.
Zhang Dong slightly raised his head to look at them and then said indifferently, "I'm not interested in dueling with kids. Come back when you've learned a couple more spells."
"We're not kids! And you're not that much older!" Malfoy shouted angrily.
His words left Zhang Dong speechless. Can’t you be a bit more articulate? Look at how others are looking at me.
Perhaps sensing the strange looks around them, Malfoy lowered his voice in front of Zhang Dong and said,
"I don't care whether you agree or not; anyway, tonight, in the trophy room, we'll be waiting for you. If you don't come, we'll let everyone in Hogwarts know that you're actually a coward!"
After saying that, Malfoy turned around with his two lackeys and left.
Watching Malfoy's retreating figure, Ron angrily said, "This guy is really asking for it. Zhang Dong, don't worry; tonight, Harry and I will accompany you. Three against three, we’ll win for sure!"
"But Ron, I don't know any offensive spells yet."
"Then just use your wand to poke them in the nose! Trust me, at this age, a little wizard would be more hurt by a punch than by a spell."
"Okay." Harry nodded firmly.
Meanwhile, Zhang Dong rolled his eyes at them. With your combat skills, what difference does it make if there's one more or one less?
And really, are you two that foolish? Can't you see that this is clearly a trap waiting for you to jump in?
