Chapter 11 The Hufflepuff Lounge

Gryffindor's lounge is a tower, and it is said that there are many spiral stairs; Slytherin's lounge is at the bottom of the lake, and in order to avoid moisture, a fire is burning in the fireplace all year round; Ravencrowder's lounge is located in a On the top of the tower, stars are painted on the ceiling. In the lounge, you can not only look at the scenery of the surrounding mountains, but also observe the starry sky, without having to go to the observatory; Hufflepuff's lounge is next to the Hogwarts kitchen, and Badger I like to make holes. The lounge is located in the basement of the castle just like the kitchen. As the night darkened, the castle became quiet, but the kitchen was still busy. At least a hundred house elves were busy.

A good house elf should not be seen by others. They can use invisibility in front of wizards, but they all show their figure in the kitchen. When the little wizards appear at the kitchen door, countless pairs of watery big Their eyes fixed on them immediately, and the Muggle wizards who had never seen them opened their mouths in shock. After a short silence, they were treated like kings, and all kinds of exquisite food were held above their heads. , presented in front of the little wizards.

"What to do with the uneaten leftovers?" Pomona asked a house elf serving her with a smile. It was stunned, and then punished itself by bumping its head against a pillar as if it had done something wrong.

"Ni Nii, Nii Nii, the young lady thought she was being treated with leftovers."

Pomona just doesn't like waste. After all, there are many poor people who don't have enough to eat in this world, but seeing Ni Ni like this, she didn't bother to talk anymore. She just took a plate of cookies and left the kitchen.

The prefect didn't take them back to the lounge directly, but also took them around the classroom where they will have classes tomorrow. The structure in the castle is very complicated, but the miracle is that most of Hufflepuff's freshmen have recorded the way. Stop, yes, the stairs are complicated, but there is no forest where people can get lost more easily. This is Hufflepuff's talent, although most people don't want to believe it.

The entrance of the lounge and the kitchen are in the same corridor, as long as you don't leave the range of the corridor, no one will care what you do. Hufflepuff often holds parties, and the seniors continue to have parties after the freshman banquet. From time to time, people can be seen shuttling between the lounge and the kitchen. The lounge of the little badgers is the only one in Hogwarts that does not exclude sneaking Or magic, and there is no password and complex maze, after the huge portrait depicting the banquet at the kitchen entrance, there is a large pile of cylinders. It will be opened, and even if you make a mistake, you will only be covered with vinegar. Pomona really doubts whether such a defense facility can really protect the students inside.

Because people often come and go, the door of the lounge is almost open, and Pomona followed a senior senior into the lounge.

The symbolic element of Hufflepuff is earth. The first thing that catches the eye after entering from the entrance is a large suspended tree, which grows through the ceiling to the second floor. There are only its roots and trunk on the first floor, and the crown of the tree seems to be on the upper floor. . The stairs leading to the girls’ dormitory are on the left, and the stairs leading to the boys’ dormitory are on the right. Hufflepuff pays attention to equality, and the lounge is a perfect symmetrical structure, but the girls’ study area is tropical vegetation and parasitic plants, while the boys’ side It is a snow-capped mountain, and it is not candles and torches that provide lighting for the interior, but thousands of fireflies, which are arranged as wild as possible. Generally speaking, Gryffindor is good at metamorphosis, Slytherin is good at potions, and Hufflepuff is good at herbalism. Sooner or later, they will go to the inaccessible forest to find undiscovered herbs, so learn the ability to survive in the wild as soon as possible Hufflepuff couldn't be more important.

The plants in the Hufflepuff lounge range from flowers the size of a palm to mushrooms the size of a seat. Each bedroom is cut into semicircular kegs like a beehive, with cozy little nest-shaped inside. When Pomona returned to the dormitory, her roommates had already returned, and their luggage was placed at the door, but no one was in a hurry to pack it up, and instead sat on their respective suitcases and chatted.

"Hello." Pomona said stiffly.

"Are you that mixed Veela?" said a girl with long curly hair and a shawl.

Pomona didn't know what words to use to describe her mood.

"You don't look as pretty as the legend says." Another girl with a thin voice said softly.

"My brother said that you cast a spell on yourself." Another short-haired girl sat cross-legged on the ground. "You didn't do anything wrong, why did you cover your face?"

"Save yourself the trouble." Pomona handed them the cookies she had served "Especially Slytherins, did you hear what they did to Rubeus Hagrid? They broke his wand .”

The girls exclaimed.

"I heard that he is still at Hogwarts." The curly-haired girl lowered her voice and said, "Everyone believes that he was the one who killed Myrtle, only Dumbledore pleaded for him, and now he is our tree farm guard."

"Do you believe he did it?" Pomona asked them. "I heard he was a half-giant."

"My brother said that giants are cruel and bloodthirsty by nature." The short-haired girl hugged the pillow and said, "But Hagrid is a soft-hearted fool."

Everyone laughed except her.

"Hi Pomona, I'm Marylock." The curly-haired girl reached out to her.

"Susan Dupin." The short-haired girl held out her hand.

"Jenny Wesley." The girl with a thin voice also stretched out her hand, "Can you dance like in a fairy tale book?"

"Since there are non-violent giants in the world, there are also veela who can't dance." Pomona said blankly, "My talent is more towards plant magic."

Facts have proved that as long as there is no prejudice, Hufflepuff people are easy to get along with, or the roommate Pete found for her is easy to get along with, Hufflepuff Code of Conduct Article 61, when others believe you are strict, Then forget what he said, those three girls really forgot her identity as a mixed Veela, and communicated like she was an ordinary girl.

They talked until late at night, and the prefect went back to his bed after warning them that if they didn't sleep, they wouldn't be able to wake up tomorrow morning.

In order to take care of everyone's privacy, this bird's nest-shaped bed actually has a bed curtain, which really helped her a lot. After the curtain was lowered, Pomona dissipated the spell on her face, and then emitted a light from the fireflies above her head. The light, she looked at her face in the mirror, what changed? She actually started to care about her appearance.

She took out the letter her father had written to her again.

Is other people's eleven years old the same as hers?
