Chapter 24 A Privilege Exclusive To Hufflepuff
[Congratulations to the host, you have successfully made the Weasley twins and Hufflepuff model student Cedric see the evil in people's hearts. 】
[As the host shows his ‘talent’ for the first time at Hogwarts, the points earned are doubled, and the points are +200]
Demons were dancing wildly in the auditorium, and Dumbledore used magic to conjure up lyrics, but there was no music score, allowing the students to express themselves freely.
On the surface, Wayne was lip-syncing, but in his heart, his thoughts were spinning.
I just cheated a bunch of Geminis and Cedric and got two hundred points.
Even if there is no first recharge, ah, if you double it for the first time, it will still be 100 points.
It seems that after the system upgrade, he can earn points much easier than before.
Back then, he beat up all the students in the class and only got more than a hundred points.
OK, Hogwarts is indeed his blessed place.
If you cheat the twins once, you will get 100 points. If you cheat the twins once every three days, won't you be guaranteed one gold this year?
Wayne licked his lips and had to say, it was indeed a bit tempting.
Fred and George, who were still singing the school song to the tune of "Funeral March", couldn't help but shudder, as if they were being stared at by something terrible.
.....
The singing of the school song ended hastily, and Dumbledore was so moved that he wiped his wet eyes.
"This is the charm of music. Okay, it's bedtime now. Let's go back to the dormitory."
It was already past eight o'clock when the sorting ceremony ended, and after another hour of eating, Dumbledore asked everyone to go back to sleep.
The others ran away in a swarm, while the prefects organized the freshmen to stand up and led them back to the lounge.
Cedric mingled with the freshman team.
"Wayne, how are you going to make it up to me?"
"I don't understand what you are talking about. Sleep well tonight. I have to go to CJB tomorrow. It's physical work."
Cedric laughed angrily: "Stop pretending, it must be you who filed a complaint with Professor McGonagall."
"This is my first time in solitary confinement."
"Um, what should I say? Thank you for giving Fred and George your first time?"
Wayne shrugged helplessly: "I didn't complain. Professor McGonagall knew it himself. If you don't believe me, you can ask Hannah or Susan."
The two girls were not far away and had been eavesdropping on their conversation. Seeing that she was being pointed out, Susan nodded subconsciously.
Cedric realized something was wrong and asked the two girls for details. After hearing this, his face turned pale.
"It's over. Professor McGonagall must be very angry with me. I still want to join her Transfiguration Club."
"Don't worry." Wayne comforted: "With George and Fred, you can at best be considered an accomplice. Professor McGonagall will forget about it in a few days."
Cedric stopped talking and made up his mind to never mess with Wayne again.
This kid looks harmless to humans and animals, but his stomach is full of bad things.
.......
Hufflepuff's common room is located in the basement of the school. The entrance is among the pile of large barrels on the right side of the kitchen corridor.
Just follow the rhythm of Helga·Hufflepuff and tap the second barrel in the middle of the second row, and the barrel lid will rotate to reveal the passage.
Unlike Gryffindor, Slytherin's passwords are changeable, and Ravenclaw has to rack his brains to answer the questions every time he comes in and out.
Hufflepuff's style is simple and practical.
This 'password' has been in use since the founding of Hogwarts and has never been changed.
But with such a simple password, no outsider has ever entered the Hufflepuff Lounge. It is also the only academy with 'face recognition'.
Even if the rhythm is right, but it is not a little badger, the door will not open, and various flavors of vinegar will be sprayed from the barrel to drive away intruders.
It is said that many little wizards will deliberately make mistakes when they are short of money, and then sell them with vinegar.
I don’t know which unscrupulous store would buy it. These vinegars have all kinds of flavors. It would be too bad to give them to customers.
The prefects dutifully told the young wizards this information and demonstrated it three times before finally opening the door to the lounge.
The short body slipped through the passage, and there was a huge circular room inside.
The ceiling of the common room is very low, the temperature is moderate, and it is simple yet comfortable. There are hanging or placed plants everywhere, giving it a feeling of a cabin in the woods.
There are also many plush sofas and chairs placed on the soft floor stalls.
Wayne is very satisfied with his entertainment environment for the next seven years.
Although it is a basement, there are actually windows here, so there is no shortage of sunlight.
The prefect walked to the fireplace and pointed to the portrait hanging above. It was a witch holding a gold cup and smiling cheerfully.
"This is Ms. Helga Hufflepuff. Because of her kindness, she took in many house elves and protected them from abuse and abuse."
"So, Hufflepuff always gets preferential treatment in the kitchen. If you need it, you can go to the kitchen next door to get it. Don't be polite to them."
Speaking of this, the prefect's face was filled with pride.
This is a privilege exclusive to Hufflepuff.
"Your politeness may seem to the elves that they have not done their job well, and they will blame themselves."
After the introduction, the rest of the time is free time.
As expected of Hufflepuff, many seniors entertained the freshmen enthusiastically and took out snacks from various places to entertain them.
Faced with some questions raised by freshmen, he answered them patiently and also gave a lot of his own experience.
Wayne was also chatting with Cedric about the school stairs.
"You must not sleep in late tomorrow. The stairs in the school will keep changing. If you take the wrong step, you will most likely be late."
"It would be better if it was a course taught by the dean or Professor Flitwick."
"But if you're late for Transfiguration or Potions..." Cedric shuddered and gave him a wishful look.
"What's the use of just talking." Wayne said helplessly: "I don't know the rules of this ghost staircase."
"Let's do this." Cedric thought for a while, "The new students will get their class schedule at breakfast tomorrow. You come out early and I will show you around first."
Wayne gave a thumbs up.
As expected of you, Cedric, a standard Hufflepuff.
As enthusiastic as you are, I will ensure that you are safe and sound when the Triwizard Tournament begins.
When the conversation got exciting, several prefects took the senior students to the kitchen and brought a lot of juice and hot water. It felt so good to lie down and be fed.
Wayne couldn't help but admire himself for being so good at choosing a college.
Until everyone felt sleepy, the number of people in the lounge gradually dwindled, and Wayne also entered his dormitory through the round door.
