Chapter 270 Hufflepuff’s Reemployment

"The talent should be good, right?" Helga's curiosity was ignited by Les.

"Of course -" As soon as this was mentioned, Les became energetic and excitedly showed off the talents of his two apprentices to his old friends.

"That's great..." Hufflepuff had a look of envy in his eyes. When it comes to recruiting apprentices, she is really envious of her friends. They can always find the most talented students.

This is completely normal. The gap in student resources among the four colleges makes it difficult for Hufflepuff to find real geniuses - talents from pure-blood families were swept away by Salazar, and outstanding students from Muggle families either went to Either Gryffindor or Ravenclaw, the only thing left for her would be ordinary people.

After feeling envious, Helga rolled her eyes and asked another question: "They must be very similar to Adrian's child, right? After all, they are his descendants."

Les's expression suddenly changed.

"No, they-"

"There will definitely be two little Adrians in the future - I envy you, Salazar!"

Les's face turned green.

Hufflepuff was relieved when she saw her old friend's face looked wrong - she did it on purpose. Who let the old viper always jump up and down in front of her face to show off her students' talents?

The two old guys walked up the sand dune while chatting. Helga also applied translation magic to herself to avoid obstacles in communicating with the younger generations.

When the two came to her, Daphne took a step forward and blocked her sister behind her. She greeted Les nonchalantly on the surface, but her eyes kept glancing at Hufflepuff.

"This is Ms. White. She was trapped in the ruins before and was just rescued by me." Rice introduced Hufflepuff to the two nervous little girls.

After hearing what Les said, Helga resisted the urge to roll her eyes and waved to the two little witches as a greeting.

"Trapped in the ruins? What do you usually eat?" Daphne was very curious about this person trapped in the ruins and wanted to know everything about her.

When it came to food, Helga suddenly became interested. She took out a basket and some cups from her arms like a magic trick - she wanted to show her skills to the children.

Seeing that his old friend was interested, Les also waved his magic wand and conjured a picnic cloth and a parasol.

"I brought my own food, do you want to try some?" Helga said with a smile, her face full of kindness and kindness, just like her grandmother who lay on a wicker chair and bask in the sun every day.

"Uh, okay." Daphne was a little hesitant at first, but seeing that Les didn't give any hint and was still helping to set up a parasol, she readily accepted it.

But what Ms. White pulled out was a huge disappointment: she only pulled out a few pieces of dry bread and a piece of cheese wrapped in linen.

This emotion only lasted for a moment, because Daphne immediately realized that this might be the last remaining supplies for the poor old woman in front of her.

"It's better to eat what we brought. We just replenished supplies a few days ago." Daphne took out her lunch box.

But Hufflepuff firmly rejected Daphne's proposal and insisted that she try the "delicious food" she brought out.

Daphne, who couldn't resist Hufflepuff, had to take the bread and cheese. As a result, her expression changed drastically after just one bite: the bread that looked dry turned out to be extremely soft in the mouth, with a rich butter aroma. Regardless of the appearance, just based on the taste, she thought she was eating a freshly baked French croissant. The cheese is even more magical, with a different taste in every bite - a bit like Bibi's multi-flavored beans, a popular snack in the wizarding world.

Astoria also encountered something extremely magical. Helga gave her a cup, and then used a water spell to fill the cup with spring water.

"Come, drink!" Hufflepuff motioned for her to drink the water in the cup.

Astoria looked confused: I've heard that some people like to persuade people to drink, but there are actually people who persuade people to drink water? But the moment her lips came into contact with the cup, she understood why.

The water in the cup magically turned into juice, and it was still ice cold!

"Amazing!" Daphne and Astoria said in unison: "How did you do it?"

"I'm better at food magic." Faced with the questioning of the two little witches, Helga also frankly stated that she changed the taste of food through magic. What Astoria drank was juice-flavored water, and Daphne drank it. All they had to eat was ordinary bread and cheese.

"As I get older, I can only satisfy my appetite through these." Hufflepuff lamented that time is not forgiving.

After enjoying a simple but extremely rich meal, they set off on their way home together.

Before leaving, Les winked at Helga. Hufflepuff understood and waved his hand, and suddenly a large amount of sand fell, burying the ruins of the palace under the yellow sand again.

When they returned to the town, Les saw that Daphne and Astoria were exhausted, so he took them to settle down temporarily in a small hotel in the town. After the two of them hurriedly used magic to remove the dust from their bodies, they lay down in the simple bedroom and fell asleep without taking off their clothes.

Les walked outside, found Hufflepuff with a pot of coffee, and chatted with her.

"What do you mean, do you have any plans next? Do you want to see the world a thousand years from now? The Muggle world has undergone earth-shaking changes."

Helga shook her head. What she cared about most was the children of Hogwarts and Hufflepuff House a thousand years later.

"Sure enough, just like me." Les nodded: "But in your situation, I'm afraid you won't be able to enroll as a student."

Hufflepuff: ...

"Is the school still short of teachers?"

Although something felt strange, she thought it would be no problem to sneak in as a teacher - she still had a lot of experience teaching students.

Les rubbed his chin: "The school doesn't seem to be short of teachers..."

It is said that Hogwarts used to change a Defense Against the Dark Arts professor every year, but this year - well, this year actually changed professors, and Lupine replaced Lockhart as the new professor. Then according to the "rules", will Lu Ping resign only next year? Because this year's "quota" was used up by Lockhart!

But in this case, it seems that the school really has no spare teacher positions.

Seeing Les say this, Hufflepuff was also a little disappointed. But she still planned to write a letter to the current principal, what if there was a chance?

She believed that as long as she could meet with the principal, she would be able to convince him.
