Chapter 157 Start a small stove

Although there are classes on Halloween, there is a special dinner in the evening.

With the theme of Halloween, various jack-o'-lanterns and bats as the background, and various pumpkin delicacies provided, it is a banquet for wizards and ghosts.

Maybe due to the influence of some unknown force, or maybe the wizards also knew that bats carry the new coronavirus, there were no bats this year.

Looking at the pumpkin floating in mid-air, Robert felt that he seemed to have forgotten something very important.

"Robert, do you have any magic spells that can make people happy?" Hannah, a new student, suddenly jumped in front of Robert and blocked his way.

Robert blinked and asked curiously, "If it's Hannah, wouldn't a chocolate frog picture be enough?"

Hannah blushed slightly and coughed dryly, "Although I like pictures very much, it would be more fulfilling to collect those kinds of things by myself slowly. However, I am not planning to use them myself..."

"Hmm? So you want to give it to others?" Robert raised his eyebrows.

"Well, I want to recommend it to others. If it's her, as long as she knows what the spell is, she should be able to learn it quickly..." Hannah's voice became smaller and smaller, and in the end she seemed to feel that what she said was a bit inappropriate. Okay, so I didn’t say anything further.

Robert thought for a moment and then understood what was going on, "In other words, your friend became very sad because of something, and you want to comfort her?"

Hannah opened her eyes wide and nodded, "Yes, yes, that's it!"

"If this is the case, it is not recommended to use magic spells." Robert explained, "She needs to vent, and using magic spells to force her to be happy will only make things worse."

"Ah...is that so?" Hannah seemed a little at a loss, "I, I thought I could make her happy just by using a magic spell."

"Your friend will be very touched if she knows that you work hard to make her happy." Robert smiled at her, "By the way, since it's Hannah, she should know the new Gryffindor students, right? "

Hannah nodded, "That friend of mine is from Gryffindor."

Robert nodded, "Hermione Granger, she is my neighbor. Before she came to school, her parents asked me to take care of her. However, she is a girl, so it is not easy for me to see her often."

Hannah's eyes widened, looking surprised, "What a coincidence, the friend I mentioned is Miss Granger."

"Um...so, something sad happened to her?" Robert's thoughts changed and he thought of what he had forgotten.

The troll incident occurred around Halloween in Mr. Savior's first year of school. Although the troll was solved, it was indeed dangerous for first-year students.

Hannah opened her mouth, looking a little embarrassed.

Robert glanced at her helplessly, "Okay, I think I understand what's going on. Well, can you trouble Hannah to take me to find her?"

Naturally, Hannah would not take Robert into the women's restroom. The women's restroom was on the second floor. After Hannah entered, she didn't know what she said. Not long after, little Hermione with a red nose came out.

She seemed to have been crying for a long time.

"Good evening, Robert." Her voice was muffled, as if she had been crying for too long and was a little dehydrated. Her eyes were watery and a little swollen.

Robert suddenly felt a little distressed.

This little girl is a top student herself and has almost no understanding of the ways of the world. Even in her previous school, she would be ridiculed by other students.

"Thank you, Hannah." Robert said to Hannah beside him, "If you want to attend the Halloween dinner with other friends, it's not too late to go to the auditorium now."

Hannah looked at Hermione, then at Robert, and then left.

"She's worried about you." Robert watched Hannah walk away and said to Hermione, "Just now in the auditorium, she asked me for advice on how to cheer you up."

Hermione seemed at a loss.

Robert rubbed her head, "Okay, don't be angry because of what some classmates said. You can't make everyone like you, but at least don't worry your friends, okay?"

Hermione hesitated, then nodded.

Suddenly, Robert thought that there seemed to be a troll in the basement that was about to be released by Professor Quirrell. It was obviously not a wise choice to stand with Hermione in the corridor on the second floor.

"Want to come and see the Hufflepuff common room?" Robert invited. "We have a small garden there."

Hermione's eyes widened, "Aren't you underground?"

Robert shrugged, "Because we are Hufflepuffs."

Hermione hesitated for a moment, but in the end, curiosity prevailed. She hugged the borrowed book and followed Robert.

"Well, I remember that a few seniors didn't like eating pumpkins very much, so they made their own food in the lounge." Robert pointed his wand at Hermione and used a healing spell.

Hermione felt a cool sensation on her eyelids and nose, and it took her a while to realize that her eyes were swollen from crying.

"Oh, I just..." Hermione was a little embarrassed, covering her face with a book and wailing, "It must have been ugly."

The two quickly arrived at the entrance of Hufflepuff's lounge. Hermione looked at the large wooden cylinder curiously, "Is this here?"

"Yes." Robert knocked on the barrel, and as the barrel lid rotated open, the entrance appeared in front of the two of them.

Following Robert, Hermione saw the Badger Court common room for the first time.

Hufflepuff's common room is very large, at least twice the size of Gryffindor's, and looks very comfortable.

Especially those plush sofas and chairs, Hermione had the urge to pounce on them right now and roll around on them.

Long ferns and vines are scattered from the roof, making the place look lively.

Several seniors were sitting by the fireplace opposite the door, with all the pots and pans available. When they heard someone coming in, they subconsciously turned around.

Then I saw an unfamiliar face.

"Hey, is this this year's new student?" the senior asked in surprise, "Robert, is he your friend?"

"...I knew it was you, Senior Nicole." Robert couldn't help but complain, "I think you can become a food wizard after graduation and search for delicious food around the world."

However, the senior student was not embarrassed at all. Instead, she nodded and said in agreement, "This is a great idea. I will work hard."

Robert introduced Hermione to the three senior sisters sitting around the fireplace and introduced Hermione to them.

"This is my neighbor who is entering school this year." Robert explained, "I'll bring her here to eat some good food."

The senior sisters warmly invited Hermione to sit down and opened the large pot that had been stewed for a long time. "Tonight's special creation, chicken curry!"

"???" Why do we eat chicken on Halloween? It's not Thanksgiving!
