The Magic of Holowarts

Chapter 9 The Hufflepuff Lounge

Sorting ends.

Not surprisingly, there are so many Hufflepuff badgers this year. Professor Sprout is worried that there will not be enough beds in the lounge, which is really a happy annoyance.

The faces of the other professors were not so pretty, especially Snape, everyone was afraid that he would suddenly turn into a ghost.

After Principal Dumbledore led everyone to sing the ugly school song, he waved his wand to fill the table with food, and finally the dinner began.

The little wizard in the first grade was hungry all day long, wishing he could just sleep on the long table after eating.

After finally finishing the meal, everyone went to the lounge under the leadership of the prefect.

Compared to other houses, this year's Hufflepuff team is exceptionally large.

I heard that going to the lounge will make the little wizard less sleepy.

"First-year freshmen, follow me, don't fall behind!"

Cedric was leading the way. It must be said that this guy was so handsome that the little girl couldn't stop staring at him.

"He's so handsome!~"

"I'll be more handsome in the future."

Karl ignored the bickering among the little wizards, and looked at the oil paintings hanging on the surrounding walls. They saw Karl and greeted him.

These oil paintings are equivalent to Hogwarts' surveillance system, and there may be some dark room or secret passage hidden behind them.

Hufflepuff's common room can be said to be the safest place in Hogwarts. No one can enter casually. This is also the best protection for little Muggle wizards and half-blood wizards.

Hufflepuff's common room is located in the basement of Hogwarts, not as dark and deep as the Slytherin lounge, next to the house-elf kitchen.

Although Slytherin's lounge is also underground, Hufflepuff's is more comfortable in comparison. It's just on the basement floor, not too cold or too hot, and it's not like Gryffindor Sleeping at night like Ravenclaw will be disturbed by the wind.

There are too many little guys in Gryffindor at night, and they may have to open the door for the students who are locked outside at night, which seriously affects the quality of sleep. The fat lady will not guard the door every night.

Passing by an oil painting of pears, not far away, everyone saw the corner on the right hand side of the corridor, where there was a pile of large wooden barrels placed on a dark stone trough.

Unlike other common rooms, Hufflepuff's entrance does not require a password, but must be tapped on the bottom of the second barrel in the middle of the second row to the rhythm of "Helga Hufflepuff".

When struck correctly, the lid of the barrel pops open, revealing a crawlable passageway to the basement.

If the Hufflepuff students knocked it wrong, the barrel would burst, pouring wax all over their bodies, and the outsiders would burst the barrel regardless of whether they were right or wrong. Carl suspected that the barrel was just a trick to fool people.

"Enter in an orderly manner, and go to your own lounge according to the list. This will ensure that everyone lives comfortably. You must know that our Hufflepuff lounge is the most comfortable in Hogwarts!"

"Remember the rhythm of tapping, otherwise you may not be able to get in later."

The representative animal of Hufflepuff is the badger, so the style of the entire underground lounge is very similar to a badger den, which is both cute and beautiful.

Instantly gained the favor of all little wizards, especially those little girls.

The common room was large, not cramped at all, except that it was low, at least it wouldn't touch the little wizard's head.

Although the lounge is below ground, the bright color palette of the ceiling makes it a cozy cabin.

Dean Pomona Sprout, professor of herbal medicine, has arranged interesting plants in the lounge, placed them on the window sills, or hung them from the ceiling, some of which even Singing and dancing make this seemingly sunless place green like a small underground garden.

Therefore, Hufflepuff students are very interested in herbalism, and their grades in this subject are significantly better than those of the other three colleges.

Like other colleges, Hufflepuff's dormitories are divided into male and female according to grades. Boys in the same class live in a dormitory, and girls live in a dormitory. Basically, there are four people in one room.

"Attention! Don't destroy the flowers and plants in the public room at will. Some of them are very lethal, unless you know them and understand all their characteristics."

The little wizards listened carefully to Cedric's words.

"Especially the flower pot on the window sill, which has mandrakes planted in it. If you don't want everyone to die together, don't pull it out or accidentally knock it over!"

"Have you heard everything?"

"Understood!~"

"Very good! ~Welcome everyone to Hufflepuff again!"

“Hufflepuff is the best!”

I don't know who yelled, and the little wizard responded.

"Long live Hufflepuff!"

“Hufflepuff is the best!”

Cedric also raised his arms and shouted after a short moment of stupefaction. He liked this little badger.

"Okay, everyone can disband, and those who want to go to rest can go. Pay attention to what I just said, and if you don't understand, you can ask me."

Everyone cheered again, scrambling for the sofa or rushing into their own dormitory.

"Carl, you're right, Hufflepuffs are amazing! I love it here!"

"Okay, Kaidi, I have plenty of time to watch. Let's go to the dormitory quickly. I'm so sleepy that I want to lie down now."

"I sometimes feel like you are like my dad."

"As long as you don't call me daddy."

"Carl, I mean temperament! Temperament! You are too old-fashioned."

Leah and Ragney were lucky to be in the same dormitory. Hufflepuff College has a very tolerant atmosphere. As long as the students are willing, they can switch beds at any time, but of course it is not possible to switch between boys and girls.

"See Carl tomorrow, Caddy."

"See you Carl tomorrow, Caddy"

"See Leah tomorrow, Ragni, sleep well."

"See Leah tomorrow, Ragni."

There are multiple passages from the common room to the student dormitories. The passages are not so narrow and low, and students can easily drill through the passages to reach the dormitories, which is very interesting.

Each dorm has four-poster beds with patchwork sheets, copper lamps that cast a warm glow and copper bed warmers for those with cold feet.

The luggage was sent to the dormitory by the house elves in advance, and Gallon the owl was sent to the owl hut, hoping that it still remembered that it had an owner. The beds were all decorated with Hufflepuff characteristics, warm, soft and comfortable, just like a badger's nest.

Carl tidied up his luggage, took out all his textbooks, and hung some change of robes in the closet. After finishing these tasks, he helped the other three roommates in the dormitory to tidy up.

In addition to Caddy, there are two other roommates, one is Horn Li Dekun, who is tall and shy with black hair, and the other is Musk Buffett, who is slightly thinner and has eyes.

When Carl asked him what his relationship was with the American Buffett and Musk, the little guy looked confused.

Karl couldn't help feeling a little disappointed.

They were obviously not as experienced as Carl, and they brought a variety of things, mostly food, very Hufflepuff.

"There's no need to bring so much food, there's a kitchen next to our dormitory."

"really?"

"Of course it is true. If you are hungry in the future, you can ask the house elves to give you extra meals, but I don't recommend you do this. You should go to the auditorium when you should eat, after all, there are more abundant food."

"Of course, can you tell us how to get to the kitchen first? We just want to go and see."

Karl looked at this little guy suspiciously, yes!Definitely a Gryffindor sneaker.

"Everyone is sleeping, and I will take you there when the time comes. The premise is that you are all sleeping obediently now, otherwise you will be late for class if you don't get up tomorrow."

"Karl, you are not lying to us, are you? In fact, you don't know at all, right?"

Horn and Musk clearly don't know Carl yet.

"Carl is a natural prophet. He knows many things that we don't know. He successfully predicted the sorting hat on the train, and he also successfully predicted the appearance of the ghost before the auditorium sorting!"

"Wow~"

"Although there is a small deviation, it is not important."

Carl was slightly embarrassed.

"Wouldn't it be you who said that strange spell?"

Horn looked at Carl and asked.

"Of course I said it. I predicted the appearance of ghosts, and I said that magic spells can disperse ghosts. You don't think it's enough to just shout with a wand?"

Caddy looked at Carl's innocent face suspiciously, indeed, Carl didn't say how to use the spell correctly?

Horn looked angry.

"I don't know who said that calling out the magic spell from the east can dispel the ghost, but it didn't work at all. When I jumped out to fight the ghost, the ghost passed directly from my body! My God! I was Almost peed my pants!!”

Sure enough, this is Gryffindor.

"It's not about the spell. You have to know that Eastern wizards don't use magic wands. They use talisman paper. Don't use these spells that you don't understand. It's dangerous. You should be happy. The spell doesn't work. If you can't release it Get it right and it will explode.”

"Okay, you're right, next time you tell someone at least tell the truth, I don't want to feel that wet feeling again."

"I told them to keep it secret, because I don't have a talisman, and I can't cast it either."

Carl shrugged, he didn't take the blame.

Horn's face was full of displeasure. This matter left a shadow in his heart, and he couldn't blame Karl, he was the guy who revealed the secret casually, and the person who revealed half the secret was the most annoying.

Musk is thoughtful, this guy is obviously a smart guy.
