Ancient wizards return to Hogwarts

Les walked down the stairs quickly, praying that the desserts in the auditorium had not been removed yet. If he walked faster, he might be able to catch a bowl of pudding.

As for the food Daphne brought, Les didn't count on it: there was no food at the death anniversary party that could be eaten by the living, and there were four little wizards left there. It was estimated that all the broth in the lunch box was consumed. Gone.

But halfway through, Les knew it was too late, because he heard a low noise like muffled thunder coming from under his feet. This was followed by the sound of hundreds of people ascending the stairs, signaling the end of the banquet.

Immediately afterwards, the students appeared, swarming past Les like a dense shoal of fish, and Les could even faintly smell the aroma of barbecue and roasted pumpkin.

Les sighed secretly and walked downstairs against the crowd.

He was thinking about catching a fish from the Black Lake and grilling it. At the same time, he also secretly regretted why he didn't find out the location of the kitchen from Hufflepuff. He might be able to make it with a few recipes...

When Hogwarts Castle was built, each of the four founders was responsible for the construction of a part of the area. For example, Ravenclaw was responsible for designing the library, Rice was responsible for the Potions classroom, and so on. The burden of designing the kitchen and dining room fell on Helga Hufflepuff.

In the end, she combined the restaurant and auditorium into one, and she didn’t reveal the location of the kitchen to the other founders because she didn’t want them to interfere with the food preparation process.

…

"Eating is a top priority. Considering the size of the castle and the functional division of other areas, I think there is no need to build a separate auditorium. A restaurant is enough. Students and teachers can hold meetings in the restaurant." He Chippachi said, pointing to the model of Hogwarts Castle.

"good."

"Can."

Slytherin and Ravenclaw have no objections to this. They think Hufflepuff's two-in-one idea is quite good. Ravenclaw was happy because the space saved could be used to expand the library, but Slytherin didn't care at all.

"Should we arrange a long table on one side of the auditorium and let the students line up to get food?" Gryffindor still values ​​eating. If a person can't even eat enough, how can he have a healthy body?

The meal-making model proposed by Gryffindor was also the most common way of dividing meals in their time. The cook in the castle will put the rice in several large buckets, and then ask the servants who prepare the rice to line up to receive the meal - staple food, stews, soups, if it is more generous, there will be meat, if it is more simple, it will be Combine stew and soup into one and make a mush.

"I have another idea." A mysterious smile appeared on Hufflepuff's face: "What do you think of this scene when we give an order and plates of sumptuous food appear on the students' tables one after another? "

"Very handsome!" Gryffindor was immediately moved. In his opinion, this way of serving food was so cool that he had no friends.

"But the requirements for the kitchen will be very high." Slytherin considered the possibility of realizing his idea.

Ravenclaw provided her friend with a good optimization idea: "We can let students from various houses sit together to eat, so we only need to arrange four long tables and one teacher's table. The difficulty of serving food is It will be reduced a lot.”

"But will this lead to estrangement between colleges? To put psychological hints on students and think that there are distinct distinctions between colleges is inconsistent with our original intention, isn't it? After all, the only difference between them is entirely due to ours The taste is different." Helga felt a little worried about the future.

None of the other three founders spoke.

Godric didn't take this matter to heart at all. In his opinion, what's the difference between each college eating alone and eating together? As for any estrangement or anything like that, that was completely unfounded by Helga.

Rowena has a clear conscience, and it is inevitable that there will be estrangement between the four major colleges. Even if their generation can be as close as one family, after the four of them and the second-generation disciples who were raised by them pass away or retire to the second line, the gap between the colleges will definitely appear.

When the four of them decided to enroll separately, the gap between the four major colleges was destined to be born, whether it was deep or shallow. If you're lucky, you'll end up with a label full of stereotypes. If you're not lucky, Hogwarts will be split into four.

In the face of the possibility of a school split, it is really a trivial matter whether students eat at the same table as the college.

In the end, just as Ravenclaw expected, a gap developed between the four major colleges, and the students had a tacit understanding and only ate with classmates from their own colleges.

The reason Salazar remained silent was that he felt students shouldn't eat according to their house tables - he supported Hufflepuff! However, the reason is rather unique, because he believes that this can prevent someone from poisoning a certain college.

If a certain college all eats at the same table, wouldn't it be easy for them to be wiped out in one fell swoop?

As for "the only difference between the students" that Hufflepuff said, he disagreed.

Are Muggle-born students and wizard-born students the same thing? He has always opposed enrolling children from Muggle families. He believed that a student's parents must have at least one wizard who is reliable enough, otherwise their stance would naturally be on the side of the Muggle lords, which would likely bring disaster to the school in the future.

Unfortunately, Helga and Godric didn't listen, and Rowena's attitude was also very ambiguous.

With the support or acquiescence of the other three founders, the dining room of Hogwarts was finally determined by Hufflepuff to have a layout of four long tables for students and one table for teachers.

She also enchanted the dining room with subtle magic, allowing the house elves in the kitchen to transport pots of food directly from the kitchen to the long table in the dining room.

However, this was not achieved solely by Hufflepuff's magic. The group of house elves the four of them rescued from Odin's palace also played a very important role. This group of magical elves have a very good talent for space magic and can transport food to the right location.

They were originally placed by Helga in the ruins of Odin's palace to clean up the mess. Now that the castle has been built, it is time to summon them to Hogwarts to provide services to the school.

…

Recalling this, Les suddenly stopped.

Although elves are theoretically very good at space magic, logically speaking, wouldn't it be more convenient to prepare a room directly below the auditorium and then make five tables according to the layout above? The elves only need to place the food in the right place and then teleport it straight up to deliver various dishes to the tables of the little wizards and teachers.

After recalling the layout of the castle, Les felt like he had found the school kitchen.
