Ancient wizards return to Hogwarts

He went straight to the auditorium, which was already empty at this time. The students who had eaten and drank enough had returned to their respective common rooms. The new 𝗑.𝖼𝗈𝗆 who likes to be clean went to wash up, the playful ones played games with their friends for a while, and the rest had already returned to the dormitory to sleep.

Les walked up the marble staircase into the foyer, then turned left and entered a side door.

Les was very clear about the structure of the castle, so he knew that only the passage behind this door had the possibility to reach directly below the auditorium, and the rest of the passages were not allowed.

Behind the door is a stone staircase. Below the stone steps is a wide and bright stone corridor. The walls of the corridor are decorated with oil paintings of food. Once he saw the theme of the oil paintings, Les knew that he had come to the right place.

But in this stone corridor, Les actually met an acquaintance.

"Neville? What are you doing here? And what's going on with you?" Les asked in surprise, looking at Neville who was standing in the corridor, looking like he had been soaked with vinegar.

Neville glanced at Les blankly: Isn't this a question I should ask?

This is the location of the Hufflepuff common room. Why are you, a Slytherin, here?

"I forgot to--" As soon as he started to speak, Neville shut his mouth tactfully.

He wanted to say that he had forgotten how to enter the Hufflepuff common room, but he suddenly remembered that this was a secret that all students in the college had kept for thousands of years, and he could not let it out.

That's really a club death.

The common rooms of Gryffindor and Slytherin houses require passwords to enter, and the common rooms of Ravenclaw house require answering questions on the knocker. Hufflepuff House is similar. You need to select the correct barrel from a pile of large barrels placed on a dark stone trough, and tap the bottom of the barrel to the correct melody. Hit the right button and the lid to the common room will open.

But unlike the other three houses, the entrance to the Hufflepuff common room has an expulsion device. In the other three houses, no matter whether you report the wrong password or fail to answer the question correctly, you will not be punished. Hufflepuff It's different here. If the person hoping to enter the lounge knocks the wrong barrel or doesn't hit the barrel to the correct melody, the lid of the other barrel will burst, covering the intruder with vinegar.

Obviously, Neville, who had a poor memory, suffered a disadvantage in this regard and was doused with jealousy.

He usually works together with his Hufflepuff classmates. The Hufflepuff badgers, who have a friendly and united atmosphere, also know Neville's bad memory, so they take him with them every time. But before the dinner ended today, Neville had a stomachache and ran to the bathroom. When he came back, there was no one in the auditorium. Neville, who was accidentally left alone, was locked outside the lounge.

"Did you hit the wrong barrel?"

"How did you - I mean -" Neville almost said the secret again, but fortunately he stopped the car when he reached his lips.

Seeing Neville's appearance, Les knew exactly what he had encountered. He even knew how to open the door to the Hufflepuff lounge. However, considering the current "customs" of Hufflepuff House, it was inconvenient for him to enter the rest room. Tell him the way to the room.

"I know the consequences of entering the door the wrong way - do you need me to help you clean these things off of you? It smells really bad."

"Oh, thank you!" Neville took two steps forward and allowed Les to use a cleaning spell to clean up the vinegar stains on his robes.

After cleaning the vinegar off his robe, Les waved his wand and wiped away the remaining vinegar smell in the corridor.

"Cleaning spell, one of the most practical life spells invented by wizards. Before the invention of this spell, wizards had a series of magic spells for doing housework, such as 'magic to remove dust from the ground', 'magic to remove water stains from the ground' There are hundreds of spells, or 'magic to remove grease from the plate'. The wizard who finally summarized these hundreds of spells into a 'clean up' spell is really a genius." Lai Si sighed from the bottom of his heart.

Perhaps this is the charm of magic spells. A large number of spells are condensed into just a few movements and notes. Even if you don't understand how magic works, you can release them. This greatly reduces the difficulty of releasing spells. It's no wonder that in the end, there were no wizards in Hogwarts who understood the flow of magic.

Neville listened in a daze, wondering why Les sighed so much after casting a cleaning spell.

"So what are you here for?" He decided to bring the question back to its original point.

"I'm looking for the kitchen in Hogwarts. I missed the dinner tonight and need to get something to fill my stomach." Les told Neville his analysis of the location of the kitchen.

"Your intuition is so accurate!" Neville gave Les a thumbs up, and then led him to an oil painting, which showed a huge silver bowl filled with fruit.

"The kitchen is behind this painting, you just have to do this." Neville stretched out his index finger and gently scratched the pear in the silver bowl. The pear squirmed, giggled, and then turned into a large green doorknob.

"Students of Hufflepuff College all know the location of the kitchen. When they are hungry at night, they usually go in to find some food." Neville told Les how to enter the kitchen. However, before opening the door, he still told Les not to tell others the location of the kitchen, because if too many students knew the location of the kitchen, it would cause a lot of trouble to the kitchen staff.

If students are prohibited from entering the kitchen in the end, it will be harmful to others and ourselves.

Neville grabbed the door handle and pulled the door open, revealing a large, very high-ceiling room behind the door.

The room was as big as the auditorium above, with many gleaming copper pots and basins piled against the stone walls, and a large brick fireplace on the wall facing the door.

As soon as the two of them entered the kitchen, a house elf quickly ran towards them and screamed: "Mr. Longbottom? It's Mr. Neville Longbottom!"

Neville smiled sheepishly: "I used to come here with my friends to get food——"

Before he finished speaking, a voice rang out from the corridor: "Neville, are you in the kitchen? Have you forgotten the way in again?"

Neville laughed, and he smiled happily. He first poked his head out of the kitchen door and responded loudly to his friend, then retreated back into the kitchen and said to Les: "The length of time I'm stuck outside mainly depends on when my friends find out that I'm missing. Okay. Now, I’m going back to the lounge first. If you want anything to eat, just tell the elves, they are easy to talk to.”

After finishing speaking, Neville exited the kitchen and went back to the lounge with his friends.

After witnessing Neville's experience, Rhys felt that Hufflepuff was really the most suitable house for Neville.
