Hogwarts' Wizarding Throne

In front of the kitchen door.

Shaw scratched the pear on the painting, and with a few giggles, he entered the open kitchen door.

But he found that there were still many people here. Judging from their clothes, they were all badgers.

As expected, they are Hufflepuffs who eat eight meals a day.

Which eight meals? Four meals in the morning, noon, and evening snacks, three meals in three classes, and one meal on the way.

The badgers were not just here for food, but to ask the elves how to cook Chinese food, which was naturally rejected.

Some badgers were holding Chinese recipes that they didn't know where they got from, and were trying to imitate them in a corner.

But they were confused about some of the words on it.

For example, "a pinch of salt, a little bit of sugar, appropriate vinegar, slow fire...

Shor couldn't help but smile.

It seems that the little badger is not satisfied with the little portion of Chinese food at the main meal and wants to be self-reliant.

Cedric was originally patiently talking to the elf leader Tongshao, when suddenly the elves in the room exploded.

Tongshao, who just looked old and couldn't speak clearly, immediately pushed him aside and walked quickly to the door.

"Ah, great Mr. Black, you come to see us humble elves again."

"Woo woo, the sir is here again, I am so happy that I want to cry."

"...... "

Cedric looked back and saw Shaw with a warm smile on his face shaking hands with the elves gathered around him, but he didn't say anything.

Many doubts flashed through Cedric's mind. Among the entire wizarding community, the honest Hufflepuffs were the least discriminatory against house-elves, but they had never been so courteous.

After thousands of years of education, even the badgers did not agree that elves and wizards could get along equally.

But the scene in front of him had a certain impact on Cedric's worldview.

Based on his understanding of Shaw during this period of time, this powerful super genius seemed easy-going, but in fact he had a domineering personality.

He didn't look like someone who believed in the equality of all beings.

At this moment, Shaw became even more mysterious in Cedric's heart.

Shor was very experienced and waited for the elves to vent their emotions before speaking.

"Friends, please give me a bowl of bird's nest porridge and grilled squid, thank you. "

Then, more than a dozen elves fought in a group, competing to make supper for Shaw. In the end, it was Tongshao who designated three elves to calm the situation.

This scene made the badgers on the side stunned.

They are all wizards, why are the elves' attitudes so different?

In fact, to be precise, these elves treat other little wizards with respect, but if you experience it carefully, you will feel a sense of isolation.

Shor had naturally seen Cedric a long time ago, and smiled and waved to him and said hello, chatting casually about some interesting things about the recent changes in Hufflepuff.

Shor did not There was no intention to have a deeper exchange.

Although he wanted to recruit this outstanding little badger, he could learn the information himself, and the kind-hearted Cedric might not accept his ideas for a while.

Hufflepuff, well, it is indeed a big head that needs to be fought for in the future, but there is no rush.

This group is still suitable for boiling badgers in warm water.

Half an hour later, Shaw left the kitchen with a food box amid a farewell.

The little badgers immediately started discussing.

"Hey, Cedric, Shaw is still easy to talk to, these elves really admire him."

"Strange, he is kind-hearted and likes to play with food, so he should be Hufflepuff, we also have pure blood here, the Burns family and the Milan family."

"Maybe the Sorting Hat made a mistake. "

Cedric did not agree with his friend.

My father is from the Department of Magical Creatures and Magical Care of the Ministry of Magic, so he still has some political wisdom. He always feels that Shaw is hiding something.

Shor returned to the Slytherin dormitory.

Seeing that Draco was a little depressed, Goyle and Crabbe dared not even breathe.

After the meeting, Draco went to find Harry, but Harry now has to deal with his studies, participate in Quidditch training, and spend a lot of energy practicing spells, so he has no time to accompany Draco.

So, Draco is a little autistic.

Shor waved and moved a table and chair to Draco. Draco still lowered his head and thought about his own things silently.

Shor smiled, and did not speak actively. After sitting down, he put the lunch box on the seat, took out the food and began to eat with his head down.

"Gudong."

A slight swallowing sound sounded, and then Draco hurriedly said to hide his embarrassment.

"You, can you go to the side to eat?"

"Mmm, delicious, ah, what did you just say? "

Shor pretended not to hear and looked up at Draco.

Draco felt like crying.

"I said you, uh, I, I didn't say anything."

Shor said "oh" and continued to eat his supper.

When Shaw was about to finish his supper,At midnight, Draco finally spoke.

"Shor, am I really useless?"

"It's OK."

Shor's perfunctory answer made Draco even more sad, and he began to give up on himself.

"What do you mean it's OK? I can't do spells as well as Theodore, even Harry, and I can't handle affairs as well as Alice and Hermione. I am a waste."

After Draco finished speaking, he looked at Shaw expectantly, hoping that his best friend could comfort him.

Shaw didn't say anything immediately. He drank the last mouthful of bird's nest, put down the small bowl, took out a napkin and wiped his mouth, and then asked.

"Didn't I ask you to make more friends? How are you doing?"

When it came to this, Draco changed his depressed look and began to talk freely.

"Of course it's good. I asked my father to mail me a lot of good things. I would give one to anyone who I think has good potential, and then we would be good friends."

"Theodore asked me to teach etiquette in Ravenclaw. After I went there, I was very popular with those seniors, and I gave them a lot of things..."

Shor choked. Although Draco's method seemed stupid, it was actually the real way to make friends, and it went straight to the essence.

He quietly cleaned up the plates, stood up and patted Draco on the shoulder.

"Well done. A force naturally needs a diplomat. This is your position. Come on!"

Draco nodded his head vigorously.

"I know. I will do my best. I will write a letter to ask my father to send me more things."

Then there was no conversation overnight, and the next two days passed quickly.

Hogwarts does not have a Halloween holiday, but there are no classes in the afternoon. Shaw announced that there is no need to worry about etiquette today, so all the students who were crazy about it started to make trouble.

Hogwarts is full of pumpkin lanterns, which are unusually large because Hagrid used the expansion spell.

In addition to pumpkin lanterns, wall lamps are decorated in various bat shapes, and there are many horror elements filling the campus. Ghosts are also very active on this day.

The students had a joyous afternoon, and time gradually came to the evening. In order to set off the atmosphere, the hall, which used to be brightly lit, had half of the thousands of floating candles today.

When the students entered the hall, they were also given a bat brooch by the prefects of each grade.

After everyone sat down, they waited for the Halloween dinner to start.
