Harry Potter’s Book of Sin

The learning atmosphere in Hogwarts is still very relaxed most of the time, which is especially reflected when the students dine.Amidst the laughter of everyone, this lively welcome dinner finally came to an end.

After Maca picked a few desserts from the second batch and wiped it out, the plates on the table were emptied by magic, and they looked as smooth as new.

At this time, Professor Dumbledore stood up again, and the dining room immediately returned to silence.

"Oh, now everyone is full and drunk. I think I want to say a few more words to everyone. At the beginning of the semester, I want to make a few points for everyone." Dumbledore paused. His gaze swept over the Weasley twins at the Gryffindor table, "Attention first-year students, all the woods on campus are forbidden to enter. Some of our old class students should remember this."

"Furthermore, Mr. Filch, the administrator, wants me to remind everyone not to cast magic in the hallway between classes."

"The review of Quidditch players will be held in the second week of the semester. Anyone who is interested in joining the college team, please contact Mrs. Hooch."

"Finally, I must tell everyone that anyone who does not want to suffer an accident or die in pain, please do not enter the corridor on the right on the fourth floor."

Hearing these words, a few people laughed, seeming to think that this is Dumbledore's humor again.But most people didn't laugh. Professor Dumbledore never joked about danger.

Maca thought to himself, this was mostly related to the Sorcerer's Stone. As for the specific arrangement, he still remembered those clearly.Besides, what does this have to do with him?He was obviously more interested in the Sorcerer's Stone than those game levels where he didn't know whether he was defending Voldemort or training Harry.

Of course, basically don't think about it, he didn't want to be rubbed against the ground by Dumbledore's little finger.

In general, Maca did not want to participate in the events of this school year. He also felt that there was too little time to study and it was not enough!It would be nice if he didn't add some mess to the three little lions.

"Now, before everyone goes to bed, let us sing the school song together!" Dumbledore said loudly, almost all the teachers stiffened.

Dumbledore flicked the wand, and a long gold ribbon floated out of the wand, twisting and winding lines of text like a snake over the high dining table.

"Everyone chooses the tune they like," Dumbledore said. "Get ready, sing!"

All the teachers and students, well, I mean most of them sang loudly.Maca opened her mouth and found that she couldn't do such an embarrassing thing at all. She had to open and close her lips like a fool, mingling with everyone's messy singing.

When Dumbledore announced that it was time for bed, Maca finally breathed a sigh of relief.But as long as he thinks about six times in the future, he feels that his eye sockets seem a little moist.

"Okay, let's go! The first-year freshmen follow me, and I will show you the way." Beside Maca, the senior who had just chatted with him suddenly stood up and said loudly with a gentle smile.

This is the Cedric?Although Maca only remembers his first name and even his last name, he vaguely has some impression of the handsome prefect who is outstanding and has a sense of justice.

"But it doesn't seem to be as handsome as I imagined." Maca muttered in a voice that only she could hear.

"What's the matter? Little Maca, what are you looking at?" The Charlotte sister just walked to him and said softly, "That's Darren Chris, who is in the sixth grade this year. He started last year. Serve as the male prefect of Hufflepuff."

"Uh," Maca was taken aback, this seemed to be a bit different from memory, "...I was thinking, who is Cedric's senior? I had heard of him before entering school, and seemed to be a very good person.

Charlotte nodded suddenly, and then smiled: "Cedric? Indeed, if two more years pass, he must be a popular candidate for the prefect."

Maca looked in the direction Charlotte was pointing, and a handsome and handsome boy immediately entered his eyes.Shi Cai was at the table, and Cedric was sitting at the other end of the long table. No wonder Maca didn't notice.

Oh, it turns out that there are grade restrictions for the selection of prefects, and Cedric has not yet become the male prefect of Hufflepuff!

"Then...what about the female prefect?" Maca couldn't help asking, looking at the lonely figure of Prefect Darren in front.

"Oh, that's me!" Charlotte patted Maca on the shoulder with a grin, and then whispered, "I am not used to leading others, so I usually leave things to Darren. He seems to be happy to do these things. "

Maca looked at the beautiful senior lady who wasn't in the shape of her, and shook her head helplessly.

The Hufflepuff freshmen passed the side corridor on the first floor in the easygoing Darren senior, and then all the way down to the basement directly below Hogwarts.

"The back is Hogwarts' kitchen. If you are hungry at night, you can go there to get something to eat. The house elves will welcome you." When passing by a still life painting of fruits, Charlotte Pointing with his chin, he said, "Just scratch the pear on it. It sometimes smiles along with it. It's cute."

The entrance to Hufflepuff's common room was not far away, but Maca felt a little dazed by looking at the iron-hooped wooden barrels that were almost full of the entire wall.

"Presumably everyone has seen it. This is a bunch of big messy barrels," Darren said with a smile, "and the entrance to our Hufflepuff common room is in these barrels."

"Of course, I am not asking everyone to open the lid and climb in. Ernie, the barrel you picked is too small." Darren stopped Ernie from trying a suspicious barrel, and then continued, "Please pay attention, everyone. , The entrance to the common room of our Hufflepuff College is the only entrance to Hogwarts that has magic that excludes sneakers."

"The way to open it is very simple. You only need to take out your wand and tap the bottom of the two big barrels in the middle of the second row in the rhythm of'Hurga Hufflepuff', and the lid will automatically rotate open. ."

As Darren spoke, he drew out his wand and tapped back and forth on the bottoms of two wooden barrels.Suddenly, the two bottom covers automatically rotated and opened in different directions. Then, the entire stack of wooden barrels moved along, and an irregular doorway immediately appeared in front of the new students.

Darren watched everyone commotion and amazement, with a proud smile on his face, he waited a while before continuing.

"But, please pay attention to one thing! The entrance to the common room of our Hufflepuff College is the only entrance to the lounge at Hogwarts that has magic to exclude intruders. If you knock on the wrong lid, or The rhythm of the knock is wrong, and the illegal intruder will be doused with magical vinegar in the barrels above."

Speaking of this, Darren shrugged and said, "Believe me, it feels like you would never want to try it. The vinegar smell is hard to wash off, and you can smell it even two hundred meters away. It makes the roots of teeth soft and sour."

Ernie shook his whole body immediately when he heard the words, and immediately expressed great gratitude to Darren senior who prevented him from "blowing" just now.

"Sister Charlotte, if this method is known to others, wouldn't it be useless?" Maca asked a little confused.

"This is one of our Hufflepuff’s biggest secrets, no one wants to say it," Charlotte spread out, "Hufflepuff’s common room and dormitory have gone through more than a thousand years. It’s never been seen by outsiders. We know how to hide--how to protect ourselves, just like our hospital emblem."

Maca raised his head and looked at the emblem on the wall of the common room. The badger on it was exuding dim radiance, looking low-key and composed.

"Hufflepuff, integrity, loyalty, perseverance and honesty, not afraid of hardships." Maca chewed on the nameplate under the emblem, and the color of wonder when sorting returned to his face. Will the method of entering here be revealed when necessary?"

Regarding this question, he himself felt unsure.

Hufflepuff’s common room is a round, low-roof room with a touch of earthy fragrance.

It’s enchanted, it’s always sunny during the day, and a little fluorescent at night.

The swaying grass and dandelions can be seen through the round windows.There are bright and clean copper ornaments in many places, and there are many plants hanging from the ceiling or placed on the windowsill. The dean Professor Pomona Sprout is responsible for teaching herbal medicine. She always brings the most interesting The specimens are used to decorate this not too big, but very warm room.

Everyone sits or stands here, as if they are at their own home, they are relaxed.Hufflepuff is the college with the largest number of people in Hogwarts, but it is also the most united college within. There has been little change in the millennia, which has to surprise other colleges.

After a while, the freshmen all went to the dormitory to rest one after another. Today, after a busy day, these little badgers are already exhausted.

At night, Maca leaned on his bed, opened the textbook again and read it. Several of his roommates were already asleep, but he was not too sleepy.

In these two months, he has basically adapted to the normal schedule, but today he is a bit unable to sleep.He kept repeating everything he saw today. Although he was calm, it did not mean that his heart was also stable.

Although he was looking at it line by line with the book in his hand, he hardly remembered it in his heart. It was until late at night that he wore a robe and fell asleep quietly.
