Harry Potter’s Book of Sin Chapter 8: The quality of Hufflepuff

　　The learning atmosphere at Hogwarts is still very relaxed most of the time. This is especially true when the students dine. Amidst the laughter of everyone, this lively welcome dinner finally came to an end.

　　 After Maca picked out a few desserts from the second batch, the plates on the table were emptied by magic, and they looked as bright and clean as they were at the beginning.

　　At this time, Professor Dumbledore stood up again, and the dining room immediately returned to silence.

　　 "Oh, now everyone is full and drunk, I think I have to say a few more words to everyone. At the beginning of the semester, I want to make a few points for everyone." Dumbledore Doton After a pause, his eyes swept over the Weasley twins at the Gryffindor table, "Attention first-year students, the woods on campus are forbidden to enter. Some of our old class students should also remember this."

　　 "Furthermore, Mr. Filch, the administrator, wants me to remind everyone not to cast magic in the hallway between classes."

　　"The review of Quidditch players will be held in the second week of the semester. Anyone who is interested in participating in the college team, please contact Mrs. Hooch."

　　 "Finally, I must tell everyone that anyone who does not want to suffer an accident or die in pain, please do not enter the corridor on the right on the fourth floor."

　　 Hearing this sentence, a few people laughed, seeming to think it was Dumbledore’s humor again. But most people didn't laugh. Professor Dumbledore never joked about danger.

　　Maca thought, this was mostly related to the Philosopher’s Stone. As for the specific arrangement, he still remembered those clearly. Besides, what does this have to do with him? He was obviously more interested in the Sorcerer's Stone itself than those game levels where he didn't know whether he was defending Voldemort or training Harry.

　　 Of course, I don’t want to think about it. He doesn’t want to be rubbed on the ground with Dumbledore’s little finger.

　　 Generally speaking, Maca does not want to participate in the events of this school year. He still thinks that there is too little learning time, and it is not enough! It would be nice if he didn't mess with the three little lions.

　　 "Now, before everyone goes to bed, let us sing the school song together!" Dumbledore said loudly, almost all the teachers stiffened.

　　 Dumbledore flicked his wand, and a long gold ribbon floated out of the wand, twisting and winding lines of text like a snake over the high dining table.

　　 "Everyone chooses the tune they like." Dumbledore said, "Get ready, sing!"

　　All teachers and students, well, I mean most of them sang loudly. Maca opened her mouth and found that she couldn't do such an embarrassing thing at all. She had to open and close her lips like a fool, mingling with everyone's messy singing.

　　 When Dumbledore announced that it was time for bed, Maca finally breathed a sigh of relief. But as long as he thinks about coming like this six times in the future, he feels that his eye sockets seem a little moist.

　　 "Okay, let's go! The first-year freshman will follow me, and I will show you the way." Beside Maca, the senior who was chatting with him suddenly stood up and said with a gentle smile.

　　 Is this Cedric? Although Maca only remembers his first name and can't even remember his last name, he vaguely had some impression of the handsome prefect who was outstanding and had a sense of justice.

　　 "But it doesn't seem as handsome as I imagined." Maca muttered in a voice that only she could hear.

　　 "What's the matter? Little Maca, what are you looking at?" The Charlotte sister just walked up to him and said softly, "That's Darren Chris, who is in the sixth grade this year. He has been the male prefect of Hufflepuff since last year."

　　 "Uh," Maca was taken aback, this seemed to be a little different from memory, "...I was thinking, who is Cedric's senior? I heard about him before enrolling, and it seems to be a good one. People."

　　 Charlotte nodded suddenly, and then smiled: "Cedric? Indeed, if two more years pass, he must be a popular candidate for the prefect."

　　Maca looked in the direction Charlotte was pointing, and a handsome and handsome boy immediately entered his eyes. Shi Cai was at the table, and Cedric was sitting at the other end of the long table. No wonder Maca didn't notice.

　　 Oh, it turns out that there are grade restrictions for the selection of prefects, and Cedric has not yet become the male prefect of Hufflepuff!

　　 "Then...what about the female prefect?" Looking at the lonely figure of Prefect Darren in front of him, Maca couldn't help but ask.

　　 "Oh, that's it!" Charlotte patted Maca on the shoulder with a grin, and then whispered, "I'm not used to leading others, so I usually leave things to Darren. He seems to be happy to do it. These things."

　　Maca looked at the beautiful senior lady who wasn't in good shape next to her, and shook her head helplessly.

　　 Hufflepuff's freshmen passed the side corridor of the first floor in the easy-going Darren senior, and then all the way down to the basement directly below Hogwarts.

　　 "The Hogwarts kitchen is behind that. If you are hungry at night, you can go there to get something to eat. The house elves will welcome you." When passing by a fruit still life painting, Charlotte pointed her chin and said, "Just scratch the pear on it. It sometimes smiles along with it. It's cute."

　　 Hufflepuff’s common room entrance is not far away, but looking at the iron-hooped wooden barrels that are almost full of the entire wall, Maca feels a little dazed.

　　 "Everyone must have seen it. This is a bunch of big messy barrels," Darren said with a smile, "and the entrance to our Hufflepuff common room is in these barrels."

　　 "Of course, I am not asking everyone to open the lid and climb in. Ernie, the barrel you picked is too small." Darren stopped Ernie from attempting a suspicious barrel, and then continued, "Please Attention, everyone. The entrance to the common room of our Hufflepuff College is the only entrance to Hogwarts that has magic that excludes intruders."

　　"The way to open it is very simple, you just need to take out your wand, and then tap the bottom of the two big barrels in the middle of the second row in the rhythm of'Hurga Hufflepuff', and the lid will be Automatically rotate on."

　　 Darren said as he drew out his wand and tapped back and forth several times on the bottoms of two wooden barrels. Suddenly, the two bottom covers automatically rotated and opened in different directions. Then, the entire pile of wooden barrels moved along, and an irregular doorway immediately appeared in front of the new students.

　　 Darren watched everyone commotion and amazement, with a proud smile on his face, he waited a while before continuing.

　　"But, please pay attention to one thing! The entrance to the common room of our Hufflepuff College is the only entrance to the lounge at Hogwarts that has magic that excludes intruders. If you knock on the wrong lid , Or the rhythm of knocking is wrong, illegal intruders will be doused with magical vinegar on the barrels above."

　　Speaking of this, Darren shrugged and said: "Trust me, you will never want to try it. The vinegar smell is hard to wash off, and it can be smelled two hundred meters away. Get the sour taste that makes the roots of the teeth soft."

　　 Ernie shook his whole body immediately when he heard the words, and immediately expressed great gratitude to Darren senior who prevented him from "blowing".

　　 "Sister Charlotte, if this method is known to others, wouldn't it be useless?" Maca asked a little puzzled.

　　"This is one of our Hufflepuff’s biggest secrets. No one wants to say it," Charlotte spread her hands. "Hufflepuff’s common room and dormitory have experienced a For thousands of years, we have never been seen by outsiders. We know how to hide-how to protect ourselves, just like our hospital emblem."

　　Maca raised his head and looked at the emblem on the wall of the common room. The badger on it was emitting a dim glow, looking low-key and composed.

　　"Hufflepuff, integrity, loyalty, perseverance and honesty, not afraid of hardships~IndoMTL.com~ When Maca chewed on the nameplate under the emblem, the color of wonder during the sorting came back to his face. "If it is me, will I reveal the method of entering here when necessary? "

　　For this question, he himself feels unsure.

　　 Hufflepuff’s common room is a round, low-roofed room with a touch of earthy fragrance.

　　 is enchanted, it is always sunny during the day and a little bit of fluorescent light at night.

　　 Through the round window, you can see the swaying grass and dandelions. There are bright and clean copper ornaments in many places, and there are many plants hanging from the ceiling or placed on the windowsill. The dean Professor Pomona Sprout is responsible for teaching herbal medicine. She always brings the most interesting The specimens are used to decorate this not too big, but very warm room.

　　Everyone sits or stands here, as if they are in their own homes and relax. Hufflepuff is the college with the largest number of people in Hogwarts, but it is also the most united college within. There has been little change in the millennia, which has to surprise other colleges.

　　 After a while, the freshmen all went to the dormitory to rest. Today, after a busy day, these little badgers are already exhausted.

　　 At night, Maca leaned on her bed, opened the textbook again, and started reading. Several of his roommates were already asleep, but he was not too sleepy.

　　 During these two months, he has basically adapted to his normal schedule, but today he can't sleep a bit. He kept repeating everything he saw today. Although he was calm, it didn't mean that his heart was also stable.

　　 Although he was reading line by line with the book in his hand, he hardly remembered it very much.
