Hogwarts: I'm a model wizard

Chapter 24 No Swallowtail Dogs Eat This Thing
Hufflepuff's common room is located in the underground building of Hogwarts Castle, and the entrance is located in the pile of large wooden barrels in the right corner of the kitchen corridor.

The way to enter is also very simple, you only need to tap the bottom of the second barrel in the second row of the pile of large wooden barrels according to the rhythm of Helga Hufflepuff, and the lid will rotate open, revealing a cave where people can climb. Go in through the passage, into the common room.

It is different from passwords that change frequently, and riddles that are updated every time.

Hufflepuff is also the only house in Hogwarts that uses a fixed password to open the door. Remember it once, and it can be used for seven years. It can be said to be quite worry-free.

……

"Remember, it's Helga Hufflepuff, the order must not be wrong."

Hufflepuff's prefect, Karen Harris, stood in front of a group of freshmen and demonstrated the correct tapping sequence at three times slower speed.

"Well...what if I make a mistake." A little boy in the crowd said submissively: "I...my memory has never been very good. If I make a mistake, I won't be able to enter the dormitory."

"Worse than that!"

Harris walked to the barrel, knocked on it twice casually, then quickly dodged and retreated.

Almost at the same time, a stream of vinegar with a strong sour smell poured down, just right where he was before.

"As you can see." Harris waved his wand to clean up the vinegar on the ground and said: "If the order of tapping is wrong, the other bucket lid will burst open, dousing the intruder's body with vinegar." .

If you don't want to have a sour smell all day, you must remember the correct order, which is not too difficult. "

Next, Harris demonstrated the correct order two more times before leading them into the tunnel.

At the end of the passage was an unassuming circular great room, which became the Hufflepuff common room.

Compared with the auditorium, the ceiling here is very low, about less than three meters, surrounded by black and yellow upholstered sofas, and there are many interesting plant decorations on the side walls as embellishments .

Kyle looked around with interest.

In addition to those common ornamental plants, there are actually many rare plants of high value here. The ones he knows include rue, white fresh, golden hydrangea, wind whisper grass and campanula sunflower.

Especially the pot of wind chime sunflowers placed in the center of the lounge. If Kyle remembered correctly, the market price of this thing should be around [-] Galleons, and there is no market for it.

The golden silk hydrangea next to it is a little cheaper, and it is sold in Diagon Alley, and it only costs 270 nine galleons.

Holding precious plants worth two or three hundred Galleons as decorations, Professor Sprout really deserves to be a famous master of herbal medicine in the magic world. This is truly low-key and luxurious.

Kyle resisted the urge to remove them all, relying on steely will to turn his head and look to the side.

Against the wall was a large, honey-coloured wooden mantel with badgers carved on it, with pots and such on it.

According to the introduction of the prefect Harris, there are some candies and other snacks in the jar, and the little wizards can take them at will.

There is also a portrait of Helga Hufflepuff hanging above the fireplace.

It was a witch holding a golden cup and smiling cheerfully.

……

At this time, students from other Hufflepuff grades also came in one after another. They greeted the new students warmly and took out various snacks as a welcome gift.

Kyle also received a lot. The pockets of his robes were full of colorful candies and candies, enough for him to eat for more than a month.

"Well, Hufflepuff's common room is not bad."

Cedric came to Kyle, patted him on the shoulder and said, "Other colleges don't have such a comfortable environment."

"It turned out to be Mr. Diggory." Kyle patted the hand on his shoulder with disgust, and said in a neutral tone, "Why, aren't you afraid of being misunderstood by Professor Snape at this time?"

"Don't be like this Kyle, it's all for outsiders to see." Cedric said with a smile: "Our friendship is unbreakable, I swear."

After hearing this explanation, Kyle became even more disgusted, and quickly moved further away from Cedric.

But he also knew that Cedric was joking before, so he wasn't really angry.

Although what he said just now is really embarrassing.

He also said that he was doing it for outsiders to see. Cedric wouldn't really think that he was Harry Potter, and he could get Snape's attention all the time.

what are you thinking...

Kyle curled his lips in disdain, but he didn't know if it was an illusion. He always felt that Cedric's performance just now was a bit familiar, especially the shameless style of taking advantage of the wind and crazily dumping the pot. He seemed to have seen it before.

Who on earth is it?
Kyle thought hard, but still had no idea, and finally had to give up.

Probably, maybe, maybe... the Weasley brothers.

……

As the number of people in the common room increased, Harris invited the freshmen to sit on the sofa, saying that at the request of the professor, he would tell them about the school rules of Hogwarts in advance, and let everyone get to know them by the way.

Then he went to the next kitchen with another prefect, and brought some biscuits and a couple of large glasses of fresh juice.

This meant that Hufflepuff's common room was close to the kitchen, and the other three houses did not have this kind of treatment.

Soon, the tables in the lounge were filled with all kinds of snacks.

Harris said enthusiastically: "Welcome to Hufflepuff. There are not many school rules at Hogwarts, as long as everyone can keep the following in mind.

first……"

While Harris was talking, Kyle looked around, and soon found Connor at the outermost edge of the crowd, and then moved over calmly.

"I was the one who went too far." Kyle whispered, "I apologize to you."

Connor was obviously taken aback, looked up and found that it was Kyle, and then whispered: "No, no, there is also my reason, I am too stupid, I should have guessed that you were joking.

How could Hogwarts use... use... that curse to sort the house. "

Kyle shook his head, and said with a serious face: "That's different. It's only a joke that both of you find interesting. It must be my fault for scaring you, so I have to apologize."

Seeing Kyle's serious face, Connor bit her lip, raised her head and said seriously, "Then I accept your apology."

After all, he reached out and thumped Kyle.

"Now we're even."

How can I describe the strength of this punch... It's hard to hit the ashes.

"It's almost there, wait a minute."

Kyle smiled, and then picked out all the most beautifully packaged brown candies in his pocket and handed them over: "This is an apology, and we will be even if you accept it."

"okay……"

Connor took the candy and stuffed one into her mouth in front of Kyle, then stretched out the little hand holding the candy to Kyle, smiled and said, "I invite you to eat the candy."

"No, no, no." Kyle shook his head again and again, and muttered in a low voice, "Who is a decent person who eats licorice candy, and swallow-tailed dogs don't even eat it."

"Crack!"
