Change the world from Hogwarts
Chapter 20: The Curious History of Hufflepuff
In the end, on the surface, this matter came to an end.
Along with Theodore's seemingly sincere apology, Susan did not want to make the matter a big deal, and the conflict between the two colleges was directly settled.
At the corner of the corridor on one side of the auditorium, the two parties officially parted ways.
And because they had won a big victory in the head-on conflict, the little badgers were in a much better mood.
"You haven't seen the expression on that big bat. When Connor stood up, his expression was so dark and scary."
"And those Slytherins, they were so arrogant before, but when the situation turned around, their expressions turned stiff. They were so happy."
Such discussions continued one after another, and Connor, who had stood up before, also became the central focus of the discussion.
However, Connor didn't look so happy.
To be honest, he didn't see any benefit from the conflict in the academy.
In his eyes, everything exudes a sense of division.
Seeing this scene, Ernie hugged his shoulders directly.
"Hey, don't be so gloomy. Look, you have become a famous figure in our Hufflepuff."
He obviously didn't know what Connor was worried about.
And when Connor looked around, what Connor saw were eyes of approval and enthusiasm.
"Thanks."
Susan's voice was very low and she seemed a little shy.
"Actually, I didn't do anything, but..."
Connor wanted to say something, but before he could say anything more, a burst of cheers engulfed him.
"Connor is our hero!"
Ernie directly set the rhythm there, and the cheering and noisy sound even disturbed the ears of the two prefects.
After looking at each other helplessly, Gabriel and Georgina took out their wands together.
"Close your ears and listen!"
They did not disturb the cheers of their own college, but forcibly used spells to prevent the sound from continuing to spread.
After the cheers subsided a little, they really came forward:
"Now, let's calm down. There will be a banquet within the academy waiting for us."
Gabriel said this, he is resolute and passionate, and he is completely like a big brother who is always ahead in everything.
Georgina is a little different, her smiling attitude shows her gentleness:
"I still hope you can bring this happiness to the celebration. We are very close to the lounge."
After the little badgers calmed down and Connor finally got a little breathing space, the prefects resumed leading the way.
But what was different from before was that the female prefect, who seemed to have a low presence, did not continue to stand in the center of the team, but walked together at the front.
They soon walked into a corridor leading downwards, which led directly to a huge underground space.
It is quite remote, and the large number of wooden barrels placed around it make this huge warehouse-like basement look like a wine cellar.
Connor even smelled a hint of fruity aroma.
After passing by a fruit painting, they stopped in front of a large pile of wooden barrels.
"Okay... this is the entrance to our Hufflepuff lounge. There is no password, no questions to answer, and no other messy things. All we need to do is use the wand in our hand or your hand to follow the instructions of our college.
The melody and rhythm expressed by the founder’s name hit the two big barrels in the middle of the second row..."
Helga Hufflepuff.
After a slow tapping that followed the rhythm of the pronunciation, the wooden barrels that were originally neatly arranged slowly opened to both sides, revealing the inner round arch.
It is worth mentioning that there are two door knockers carved with honey badger heads on the door, which look very small and cute.
"Ah, by the way, let me tell you something interesting. Hufflepuff's lounge is also the only one whose entry method has been modified by our founder."
As if he thought of something funny, a smile appeared on the corner of Gabriel's mouth.
Many Hufflepuff students also understood and they all laughed, leaving only the freshmen with confused faces.
"Why did you change the entry method? Has it been hacked?"
When Connor was curious, he never thought of hiding his doubts in this regard.
"Hmm, this aspect involves an interesting story. I can only tell you that a long time ago, we needed to climb in from the barrel here."
After patting the barrel gently, Gabriel smiled and let it go.
"If you pay attention, you might know why when you walk into the lounge."
What does it mean?
Connor didn't ask the question in the end because Gabriel had already left.
"Come on, we still need to walk uphill."
After the round arch, there is a small upward slope, and at the end is a room with a portrait of a beautiful and gentle girl hanging, and a row of large barrels next to it.
This is more like a wine cellar:
Looking around the slightly monotonous environment carefully, Connor couldn't help but stare at the portrait of the only girl, with a line of small words carved underneath:
"Don't worry about external things. Hogwarts is your eternal harbor. Enjoy life to the fullest."
Reading this line silently, Connor felt that this painting should have appeared during the establishment of Hogwarts.
According to book records, that time happened to be the time when ordinary people and wizards were confronting each other, and Hogwarts School was actually more like a huge shelter.
It's just that time has passed and many things have changed.
"well……"
Just when Connor was inexplicably worried, Gabriel opened the lids of the huge wine barrels next to him.
"Okay, now comes the most interesting part. This is also a Hufflepuff reserved event. Which of you will come first?"
"Me me me! I'm coming!"
Then, a senior Hufflepuff student couldn't wait to get into the first barrel, and there were faint excited shouts from inside:
"yahoo~"
His figure completely disappeared into the barrel, and looking inside the barrel, what Connor saw was a slide leading downwards.
Taking advantage of this time, the lids of other wooden barrels were also opened, and batches of students slid directly down the more than 50 channel slides on the side. Several hundred students soon reached the deepest point.
And the last ones to go down were Gabriel and the others.
"Don't keep the others waiting, let's go down first."
As if on purpose, the prefects also left.
Soon, Connor was the only one left above.
He became quiet again.
But unconsciously, Connor, who originally wanted to think peacefully, felt that his mind was filled with another question.
He couldn't help but look at the ordinary big wooden barrel.
"What if someone can't squeeze in?"
This is just pure unintentional remarks.
Connor didn't want to say it to anyone, but it happened to be heard.
"Hey! Are you thinking about me?!"
Suddenly, a high-pitched and sharp voice came from the side, and following the sound, what Connor saw was the portrait of the beautiful girl.
Different from her previous gentleness and tranquility, she just looked at Connor angrily:
"I am the founder of this college, how dare you insult me!"
