Hogwarts Crawler

After the magic sound of the Sorting Hat's appearance rang through her ears, Professor McGonagall walked to the high stool of the Sorting Hat with a piece of parchment:

"Next, when I call your name, come over, put on the hat, sit on the stool, and the Sorting Hat will assign you a house."

"Hannah Abbott!"

...

Starting with the future owner of the Leaky Cauldron, one by one, the pillars of the British magic world came forward and were assigned to their respective houses, and the gears of fate began to turn.

The future Minister of Magic, the future Auror, the future noble, the future professor of Herbology...

"Adam Reed!"

Adam, whose name was called, came back to his senses, walked forward, picked up the Sorting Hat, put it on, and then sat on the stool.

"Hmm... a natural brain blocker? This is the first time I've seen one..."

The Sorting Hat muttered.

Because of the protective magic, it couldn't even talk to Adam in his consciousness, and could only speak in a low voice.

"Brain blocker? What is that?"

Adam also asked in a low voice.

"Ah, this is a long story to explain. Although I don't mind answering questions for freshmen, I'm afraid the professors won't be willing to give me the time... Ahem, I can only say that I may not be able to give you a good suggestion."

Under Professor McGonagall's gaze, the Sorting Hat cleared its throat:

"So, which college do you want to go to? Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw, Slytherin, pick one you like~"

"Hufflepuff."

Adam answered decisively.

I love food, I love flowers and plants, I love magical animals, and I love Hufflepuff!

"Okay~ now that you've made your choice..."

"Hufflepuff!"

Hufflepuff is the college with the largest number of students, and every Hufflepuff freshman will draw the warmest applause from the audience.

Adam came to the long table of Hufflepuff amid the applause and sat down next to the previous freshman.

"Welcome to Hufflepuff!"

The students around him greeted him warmly, and he responded one by one.

Hufflepuff does not have the ambition of Slytherin, the drive of Gryffindor, or the shrewdness of Ravenclaw, but it is the most enthusiastic and friendly college.

They do what they should do, are loyal to nature, and are honest and enthusiastic.

If you make friends with Hufflepuff, you basically don't have to worry that the other party will stab you in the back. Hufflepuff, which has the largest number of people and the fewest dark wizards among the four colleges, is worthy of your trust.

After Dumbledore's speech, the dinner party began. Adam took a sip of pumpkin juice and forked a grilled sausage.

Hmm~ The shell is baked crispy, the meat inside is tender and juicy, and the seasoning is also great. Black pepper, rosemary and lemon juice just right to blend the greasy taste of pure meat.

Except that the meat itself is marinated but still has a bit of fishy smell that has not been removed, Adam's evaluation is that it can be put in the restaurant as a signature dish.

Adam tasted the food while listening to the people around him chatting.

"My parents are ordinary people. When they first received the letter, they were very angry and thought it was a prank..."

"My parents are both Hufflepuffs. I wrote to them tonight to tell them the good news!"

"Wow, this Yorkshire pudding smells so good!"

Catching the key words, Adam looked at the Yorkshire pudding on the table and took a sip.

Ugh——

Adam put down the Yorkshire pudding with his eyes wide open and drank a sip of pumpkin juice to smooth it out.

The Yorkshire pudding, which was full of roast beef juice, not only had the aroma of bread and butter, but also had a strong fishy smell. He seemed to have seen a cow dancing on the Naihe Bridge with its eyes wide open...

Why! The roasted sausage just now tasted normal!

Putting the remaining half of the Yorkshire pudding on the plate, Adam looked at the classmate who said the Yorkshire pudding smelled good with a complicated look.

Poor kid, his sense of taste has been destroyed.

"Hmm--"

Just then, the classmate opposite Adam covered his mouth and groaned, silently put the things in his hand aside, and took a closer look, it was the Yorkshire pudding that had been bitten.

Adam looked at him.

"Hello, can you please recommend some dishes that you think taste normal?"

The other party's tone was pitiful, and his English had an accent that Adam could hardly distinguish.

Adam looked down at his plate, Yorkshire pudding, stewed beef, roast beef, roast lamb chops...

Good guy, this unlucky child can be said to have stepped on all the landmines that can be stepped on.

"If you like meat, this grilled sausage tastes okay, and the chicken leg should taste good... Well, it's really good, but it's a bit dry."

Adam took a bite of the chicken leg and commented,

"In short, stay away from all unmarinated meat products..."

"Thank you!"

The other party interruptedHe took a bite of the sausage without cutting it, and almost cried.

He looked funny and pitiful.

"French fries taste good too, you can try them, if they are too greasy, you can drink some pumpkin juice."

"Hmmmm!"

After staring at the sausage and eating it for a while, and then drinking a whole cup of pumpkin juice, he looked up at Adam:

"Thank you, what's your name?"

Although the names of every freshman were read out during the division, it was obvious that no one would remember the names of other classmates when they were so excited.

"Adam Reed, just call me Adam."

"Adam... I will remember it!"

The other party nodded.

"What about you? What's your name?"

"Uther Ramses."

"... Ramses?"

This special surname made Adam look sideways.

"What? Is it the Ramses of Pharaoh Ramses II!"

The classmates on the side asked the question in Adam's mind.

"Yes, that's right, but that was many, many years ago. There are no pharaohs now."

Uther shrugged.

They had almost finished eating, so Adam simply joined the discussion:

"Then you should also be studying in the magic school in Egypt. Why did you come to Hogwarts?"

"Well, I actually found out that I was going to study in the UK after receiving the letter from Hogwarts. My mother said it might be because I was born in the UK - she is a magical zoologist and met my father when she was studying the Sphinx in Egypt."

"Sphinx?! It sounds so magical!"

The freshman who said that his parents were ordinary people sighed:

"My parents are more ordinary. They met in court - they are the attorneys for the plaintiff and the defendant."

Lawyers, it may be much easier to run a restaurant after building a good relationship.

"My parents met at the dragon farm. They were colleagues."

"My parents also met at work. My father transferred from the Department of Magical Accidents and Catastrophes to become an Auror in order to pursue my mother."

"My parents met at Hogwarts. They hope that I can find my other half during school."

...

Hiss... I didn't expect that Hufflepuffs are so talented!

Hufflepuff friendship is trustworthy. Building a good relationship now may come in handy in the future.

Thinking of this, Adam also joined the discussion:

"My parents are also ordinary people. My family runs a restaurant."

"Oh! Really? I thought only my parents were ordinary people."

The freshman's eyes lit up and he took the initiative to extend his hand:

"My name is Bernard Lanslock. I just heard you say your name is Adam?"

"Yes, you and your family are welcome to our restaurant. I'll treat you."

Adam reported the names of Mr. Reed and Ms. Li's restaurant and wine shop.

"So that's your restaurant? There's one not far from my house! I like your red wine braised beef very much, it doesn't have any fishy smell!"

Bernard's eyes widened. He thought Adam's family only opened a couple's restaurant, but he didn't expect it to be the two-story French restaurant near his home!

"Adam, can we go to your restaurant too?"

The other little wizards around couldn't help but be tempted. They didn't have any idea about Adam's restaurant, but they heard about the beef stew without fishy smell.

They just got used to it, which doesn't mean they like the fishy smell in beef!

"Of course, everyone can come, but if you are a student who has been living in the wizarding world, it's better to eat in the private room, otherwise some special living habits and expressions may attract the attention of ordinary people."

"No problem!" xN

When it comes to passion for food, Hufflepuff is absolutely serious.
