HP Approaches the Magical World

Chapter 13 Hogwarts: A Dream

There is nothing special about Hufflepuff's common room, except for the large space. I heard from senior students that Hufflepuff's common room is twice as big as other houses, but Jon didn't want to understand what the reason is. What to be proud of.

The common room of the Badger Yard is located on the basement floor, very close to the kitchen, and not far from the entrance of the Slytherin common room. It is said that badgers are the natural enemy of snakes, but now it seems that it is not so true.

"Don't be afraid of Slytherins, badgers will never be afraid of snakes!"

When passing by the Slytherin team, Jon heard Hufflepuff's prefect say, and he could only smile in response.

If you are not afraid, you are not afraid, but usually it is the little lions who mainly fight with snakes, and Hufflepuff basically has no sense of existence in the original book.

The entrance to the common room is a still life above the corridor, and to enter the common room requires tapping the correct barrel in the rhythm of "Helga Hufflepuff".

After entering, there is a round, low-ceilinged room with a faint earthy fragrance. The room is covered with yellow draperies, and there are many upholstered sofas and chairs.

The passage from the lounge to the dormitory is a barrel-like decoration, a total of fourteen, arranged on both sides of the fireplace, leading to the boys' dormitory and the girls' dormitory, and a smiling middle-aged witch hangs on the fireplace The portrait, under the portrait is a silver nameplate with three lines of cursive characters engraved on it.

"Helga Hufflepuff (964-1032)"

"One of the greatest witches in the history of British magic"

"I'm going to teach a lot of people and treat them all the same."

Jon stood in front of the portrait and looked at the legendary witch. Her eyes were green, just like Jon's, which made Jon feel a strange familiarity.

As if it was supposed to be like this.

really weird.

"Jon, don't you go to rest? Tomorrow is the weekend, I think you can have a good sleep."

Cedric's voice came from behind, which gave Jon a headache.

This good old man is good everywhere, but this inexplicable love and concern for others is really annoying.

But he couldn't say that Cedric was wrong. There is an old Chinese saying that you don't hit a smiling face with your hand, especially in England, which pays attention to aristocratic etiquette.

"Thanks, I think I'm going to find my dorm right now."

Jon nodded slightly towards the portrait, then turned around and said a few words to Cedric, then got into the barrel on the left side of the portrait.

In the common room, the portrait of Hufflepuff smiled gently as always, just like Hufflepuff's house.

Hufflepuff’s student dormitory houses four people in one room, but each person’s space is separated by himself, with thick bed curtains and curtains in the middle to ensure that everyone has their own space.

The interior of the space is arranged like a small tent. The bed inside is somewhat similar to Jon's bunk beds in his previous life, except that this bed is lower, and the table is not under the bed, but on the side. There is a row of lockers under the bed, which is just right for storing things.

A simple charm seems to be placed on the curtain at the entrance, which greatly improves the privacy of this space, and Jon is very satisfied with this.

The small suitcase had been placed next to the table under the bed. Jon opened the suitcase and put his textbooks, clothes and crucible in the locker. The small space was very clear under the candlelight. Quiet outside.

After tidying up these things, putting the quills and pens away separately, Jon took off his clothes and climbed onto the bed.

Tomorrow is the weekend, you can sleep well.

...

...

Jon stretched his waist, the sunlight in front of him was a little harsh, which made him feel a little uncomfortable.

In the next second, he reacted and quickly lowered his head to look down.

Lying on the reclining chair, he was fully clothed, a suit of robes, and a copy of "Introduction to the Basics of Charms" in his hand. He looked as if he fell asleep after watching it.

Everything seemed normal, except for Jon.

This is... I have time-traveled again?

He stood up from the reclining chair solemnly, trying to pull out the wand from the ring in his hand, but there was nothing on his index finger, and then he raised his hand again. Although these hands were young and smooth, they were not Jon's own at all hand.

It wasn't until after a long time of contemplation that he found the old lady sitting on the sofa opposite.

The old man with a somewhat familiar face held a teacup and looked at Jon with eyes full of exploration: "I knew that you could come in."

Jon was stunned for a moment, then reacted immediately, and asked tentatively, "Are you... who?"

"Which one?" the old lady asked calmly, "If you're talking about the one hanging in the Hufflepuff common room, I'm right."

Jon's mind seemed to be disconnected in an instant. He smiled awkwardly, and felt that it was not polite to smile like this: "Then you asked me to come..."

"Oh, it's nothing, I haven't seen my descendants for a long time, I always want to take a look at you when I think about it. The children of the Hufflepuff family always like to go to Ravenclaw and Gryffindor. You have a heart, you even sold your old house... You are the first one to appear in Hufflepuff in the past hundred years." The old witch, Helga Hufflepuff, said herself in front of Jon. Gu Zi talked for a long time, and the amount of information in his words exploded: "However, it seems that you don't know me. Why, has the Hufflepuff family fallen to this point? I know that the old house has been sold. But you didn’t even leave a portrait of me?”

...

Jon thought he was dreaming, and in fact, according to the witch Hufflepuff, he was indeed dreaming.

This is a kind of bloodline curse. Hufflepuff left a soul on all the portraits he left in Hogwarts. It is different from the way Voldemort made Horcruxes by splitting the soul. A remnant left after death, inherited all the memories, preserved with the help of the unique magic on the portrait, it is an extremely profound magic.

"But none of the other three founders left their souls. Salazar left the school. Gryffindor and Ravenclaw believed that their spirits had their own descendants, but in fact Ravenclaw didn't either. Descendants."

Helga also poured a cup of tea for Jon. It had been a long time since anyone had spoken to her in the portrait space, and the legendary witch seemed a bit talkative.

Jon showed the most qualified qualities of a listener. He silently listened to the old lady's words, as if he was accompanying his grandmother, occasionally echoing a few words with a smile.

He was too good at pleasing old ladies.

Of course, he was still thinking about other things in his mind, for example, he could publish a book after waking up.

Since Lockhart's liar's book can sell well, then his book about the legendary witch should sell even better.

What about the name, "Hogwarts: A Dream", how about it?
