Hogwarts: Harry Potter and the Glock 18.

Chapter 21 Helga Hufflepuff
The entrance to Hufflepuff's lounge is located on the basement floor, and it is the one closest to the auditorium hall. The first-year wizards followed the guidance of the prefects to leave from the side door of the auditorium, but after two turns, they followed a section The stairs came to a large room similar to a wine cellar, piled with many wooden barrels.

The boys and girls who were the Hufflepuff prefects at that time were named Galil and Hull. Their faces were somewhat similar, but they were not brother and sister. The gentle and sunny smiles on their faces were exactly the same, giving people a close and friendly feeling. .

"It's here." Galil waved to the little wizards, "Hufflepuff's lounge is just behind the barrel, our house is different from Gryffindor and Slytherin, we don't have a password, and we don't have a password. No need to answer different questions like Ravenclaw, if we want to go back to the lounge and enjoy the warm sunshine and soft sofas, then we just need to remember this—"

He walked to the second row of the big wooden barrel in front of him with a smile, pointed to the bottom of the second wooden barrel and said, "We just need to tap the bottom of the wooden barrel according to the rhythm of 'Hel, Jia, Heck, Patch' It can open the passage of the entrance, but if you hit the wrong melody or miss the note."

"Hahaha." Galil grinned, "Then I guarantee you will be sour all day long, and vinegar will spray out on your head."

"But it's not all bad, the barrel spouts better vinegar than we've tasted anywhere else, the sourness has a wonderful aroma that's different every time, and we've counted as many as 37 different flavors and flavors. Hufflepuff vinegar with subtle aroma, if you are lucky enough to get a new flavor of Hufflepuff vinegar, remember to pick up a bottle and put it on the collection cabinet, everyone will be very happy."

As he spoke, Galil tapped rhythmically on the bottom of the wooden barrel with his fingers. The unscrewed wooden barrel revealed a passage leading to the common room, and the little wizards followed his footsteps and filed in.

The ceiling of the lounge is very low, but this is compared to other rooms in Hogwarts that are ridiculously spacious—for example, the auditorium. The ceiling of more than three meters high is not cramped. Although the room belongs to the underground part of the castle, because Hogwarts Castle is built on an uneven terrain, compared to Slytherin's cold underground lounge, this place can be called a paradise.

Although it is night, the green radishes hanging by the round windows are full of vitality. When the sun rises, the warm sunlight will illuminate the room thoroughly and brightly. Yellow and black are the main colors here, and the two colors are mixed In the relaxing warmth of dusk, soft upholstered sofas are arranged around the circular room.

In the middle of the lounge is a huge bonfire, and near the bonfire, there are many tools similar to kitchen utensils are placed in an orderly manner. In addition to heating, this is also a very good public kitchen, one side is very close On the wall is a wooden cabinet displaying hundreds of small bottles and jars, and hundreds of spices and seasonings are dazzling.

There are many colorful plants dotted in the cozy layout of dusk. They shake their bodies after the little wizards flood into the lounge, and some even hum interesting songs. The magical plants are welcoming the arrival of new students. In front of the most conspicuous central wall of the lounge, there is a honey-yellow wooden mantel with badgers carved on it, and the portrait of the gentle Ms. Hufflepuff hangs above the small fireplace.

After briefly introducing the lounge to the freshmen, the two prefects led the male and female wizards into the two doors of the lounge, which lead to the male and female student dormitories respectively.

Harry found his dormitory easily. The door of the dormitory was a round wooden door similar to the bottom of a huge wine barrel. The sound insulation of the room was particularly good. After closing the door, the noise in the corridor disappeared instantly. There were four four-poster beds. Illuminated by the warm light of copper lamps and with winter bed warmers hanging on the walls, Hufflepuff's dormitories are definitely the best of the four houses in terms of comfort.

Harry looked around, at his roommates for the next few years, before throwing himself on the bed.

Due to the problems that Voldemort ravaged ten years ago, the number of students in this class was less than that of previous years. 23, 12 boys are just divided into three four-person rooms.

"From now on, we are roommates in a dormitory."

Harry turned around and waved to the three of them, with a smile on his face. Except for Neville, who had been in contact with Harry before, the remaining two boys were a little cautious. After all, Harry was a head taller than them. , and the body is completely incomparable.

"Harry Potter."

Although all three knew their names, Harry introduced him formally, extending his hand and smiling friendly.

"Neville Longbottom." Neville opened his mouth quickly, he looked at the other two roommates and said, compared to the nervousness at the sorting ceremony, Neville who returned to the dormitory was much more relaxed.

"Rolf Scamander." A boy with dark blonde hair shook hands with Harry and Neville, and said quickly.

The boy was obviously relieved to have felt the kindness from his roommates.

"Scamander?" Neville scratched his head uncertainly, "I seem to have heard of this surname, but I can't remember it."

He smiled at Rove apologetically, his dazed appearance made it impossible to blame him.

"Maybe it's because of my grandfather?" Rove shrugged, "Although he has been retired for a few years, you may have read his books."

"what?"

"Where are the magical creatures?" Rove grinned, "If you also want to know about those interesting guys, I happened to bring a few more copies, the 57th revised edition, which has not yet been released to the public, and he added nineteen new ones. A newly discovered magical creature."

"Thank you so much." Harry nodded to Rove, then looked at the last person.

Finally, the curly-haired boy had a strong bookish look on him. When Harry's eyes fell on him, he suddenly came back to his senses, as if he had been thinking about something before.

"Oh, sorry, I'm Justin Finch, hello."

After shaking hands with the other three, Justin looked straight at Harry and said, "I know you, I mean, I've heard your name before I came to Hogwarts."

"Champion of the Southeastern Youth Boxing Championship and Wimbledon World Youth Tennis Championship, your slam dunk shot against Kelton Marin is so cool! I can't imagine that you can hit a speed of 210 kilometers per hour Serve! You were only ten years old then!"

Justin stared at Harry's incomparably muscular arm and muttered, "I was still reading the Encyclopedia Britannica when I was ten years old, but you can do this kind of thing!"

He raised his head sharply and looked into Harry's eyes: "My dad almost rushed to your house directly after learning the news of your abandonment of school."

"Huh?" Harry looked at Justin in bewilderment, "What's going on?"

"He's Smelting's headmaster."

"Oh~"

Harry nodded suddenly, "No wonder."

After getting to know each other, the few people who had some ties to each other quickly became familiar with each other, especially after Justin exposed Harry's past deeds, the atmosphere became more and more enthusiastic.

In less than half an hour, the four of them no longer had the life they had when they first met.

"I didn't expect the Muggle world to be so wonderful."

Rove glanced at Neville, and the two nodded in unison. As children who grew up in the wizarding world, it was the first time for them to know so many things about the Muggle world.

"Of course, without magic, the world is just as wonderful."

"But now there's magic." Harry grinned at Justin, and the eyes of the two from the Muggle world twinkled with the same excitement.

"That's even better!"

After chatting happily for a while, the sleepiness of being full gradually came to my mind. After saying good night to each other, the lights in the dormitory were dimmed, and Hogwarts Castle gradually lost its sporadic light. Only the silver moonlight outlined the hazy silhouette of the castle, lest it fall into the starry night.

Maybe it's because I ate too much tonight, or maybe it's because I really came to the school where I was accompanied by magic. Harry, who has always slept well, had a dream. .

He saw trolls in armor, goblins in full armor.
He saw a vague figure not a few years older than him, and saw the gunfire bursting out of that person's hand.
He also saw the glaring green light scattered like a spider's web - far better than Voldemort's death killing a hundred times!
