The Mightiest Badger at Hogwarts

Hermione was a very strong person, and she never liked him very much. She thought he was a bit stupid and liked to cause trouble.

Ron is very clear about this.

Ron didn't really want to mess with Hermione if necessary.

Especially now that Hermione was so involved.

However, the damn roast chicken was too salty, and the only drink teapot was held by Hermione.

Feeling the dryness in his throat, Ron's expression was a little tangled and he said weakly:

"Hermione, could you please hand me the teapot?"

Ron's words were extremely polite, and Hermione did hear them.

But when Hermione turned her head, Ron only saw Hermione opening her mouth wide and silently saying "Go away", and the ferocious look on her face was completely different from when she faced Link before.

Ron shrank his neck in fear, put his head next to Harry and complained softly:

"Did you see it? She is such a violent woman. I dare say she will never be able to get married in her life!"

Harry looked at the dinner plate with dull eyes. He looked like he was in a daze and didn't hear Ron's words at all.

Seeing this, Ron was not a bad person and continued to complain:

"Anyway, I would definitely not marry her. Compared to Hermione, I prefer a girl like Emily who is strong on the outside but extremely gentle on the inside.

oh!I'm not saying that I like Emily, she is Link's fiancée, I can't do such a nasty thing, and besides, people don't like me.

I mean, I prefer this type, at least it should be gentler than Hermione! "

As soon as these words came out, Harry finally reacted.

He first looked at Ron, then looked at Cedric who was chatting happily with George and Fred not far away, and finally lowered his head with some guilt.

He felt like he was being hinted at by Ron.

Ron was unaware of this. He licked his lips and finally said:

"Harry, can you get me a glass of water? You know, if I look like this and ask for water from other people's tables, I will most likely be laughed at."

Harry raised his head with a horrified expression.

Ron was indeed telling the truth. His previous practice of venting his fear on food had made his face covered in grease, making him look like a beggar.

It's just...next door to Hufflepuff is the long table of Ravenclaw House!

After hesitating for a while, the righteous Harry still felt that brotherhood was more important than his own death. He gritted his teeth, resisted the embarrassment and turned around to help Ron order a cup of pumpkin from the Ravenclaw table. juice.

Ron drank the drink with joy on his face, took a breath and said to Harry solemnly:

"Okay, I admit that I was terribly wrong! Gentle girls are nothing at all. If I want to marry in the future, I will marry someone like you! It's such a shame, Harry, why aren't you a girl? I I dare say you would be very beautiful if you were a girl!"

Come on, Ron looked at Harry with deep regret in his eyes.

This gave Harry a chill.

He swept away the goosebumps on his arms and moved the chair further away, and then he felt a little better.

"Harry, what's wrong with you?"

Link's familiar voice came from beside him, and Harry noticed that he had moved to Link's side unknowingly.

Facing Link's smiling gaze, Harry suddenly remembered something, pursed his lips and said:

"Link, thank you, I..."

"It's too disgusting, Harry." Link shook his head and interrupted, "Just keep words like this in your heart, no need to say them out loud."

Harry was so stuck that he immediately fell into silence. He nodded awkwardly for a while, and then regained his courage and said:

"I mean, Link, uh, you know Occlumency, right?"

Link's action of cutting steak suddenly stopped. He turned his head and stared at Harry until Harry felt a little guilty and then said:

"How did you know?"

"Professor McGonagall told me, and she learned the news from Dumbledore. Well, that's actually not important." Harry explained, "What's important is that my old headache has started to attack again recently. Not only that, I also started to have precognitive dreams. Before, Sirius and the others were ambushed by Death Eaters, and I also saw the scene of the Gringotts robbery..."

"you saw it?!"

Link suddenly raised his voice and his expression became serious.

This made Harry feel palpitations in his heart, and he instinctively avoided Link's sight and said weakly:

"Yes... yes, Dumbledore said that this might be caused by someone invading my brain, so he arranged for Professor Snape to teach me Occlumency. But you know how much Snape doesn't like me. Yes, so I thought..."

Harry's voice grew weaker and weaker, and by the end it was no longer audible.

Link did not answer immediately, but just stared at Harry silently, and a faint blue light began to flash in the depths of his eyes. .

Powerful mental tentacles surged out from his heart and gradually enveloped Harry's brain.

Link knew exactly what Harry's 'precognitive dream' was about.

The only thing that surprised him was that Harry actually saw the scene in Gringotts.

Does this mean that Harry actually saw the scene of his battle with Voldemort?

The answer is yes!

But judging from the results of Legilimency, Harry didn't seem to reveal these things.

Although I don't know why Harry did this, overall, this is good news.

Thinking of this, a smile gradually spread across Link's face.

Harry, who was watched by Link from the side, felt that his heart was about to explode.

The intense tension caused blood to continuously pour into his head, making his face turn red, and he almost couldn't help but run away.

But at this moment, Hermione on the side suddenly came over.

"What are you talking about?" Hermione screamed at Harry. "Occlumency? Therapy? Why have you never told us about it?"

"Because... I'm afraid you'll be worried."

Harry said slowly, with an expression on his face that seemed to be relieved.

Hermione's sudden interruption eased the tension between her and Link a lot.

However, his answer obviously did not satisfy Hermione. Seeing Hermione's eyebrows slowly raising, Ron suddenly intervened and asked:

"What is Occlumency?"

"A spell you will never learn in your life!"

Hermione yelled without hesitation, and then slapped Ron's head hard, making Ron scream.

Hermione waved her hand, frowned and wanted to continue questioning Harry, but she heard Link say calmly:

"I do know Occlumency. But if you want to learn it, I recommend you to ask Professor Snape for advice. After all... he also taught me Occlumency."

Link's words made Harry feel happy at first, and then sad again.

The combination of the two emotions made Harry's whole face twitch.

In his opinion, this was equivalent to a polite refusal by Link.

Seeing Harry's appearance, Link chuckled and said:

"But it's not impossible if you insist on me teaching you. It's just that I don't guarantee that I can definitely teach you. Spells like Occlumency still require talent after all. Although what Hermione just said didn't sound good, But it is still true on a certain level. People without talent will never learn it even if they study for a lifetime. I hope you can understand this."

"Ah? Ah! I understand, I understand!" Harry was almost knocked unconscious by this sudden surprise, and said excitedly and incoherently, "Thank you, Link, thank you..."

"I told you, don't do this, it's too disgusting." Link shook his head and said, "Then let's leave it like this. The specific teaching time will be placed at the DA assembly."

Link slowly stuffed the last piece of pudding into his mouth, then stood up and said to everyone:

"The dinner party is over. The prefects of each college should take people back to the lounge!"

After saying this, Link and Cedric nodded, and they began to direct the Hufflepuffs to start lining up.

Looking at Link who was busy again, Harry hesitated to speak.

He still couldn't ask the question about why Link appeared in Gringotts just now.

But now is indeed not a good time to discuss this issue with Link.

'Let's leave it to next time. Anyway, there will be more opportunities in the future. '

Harry thought this and sighed deeply.

……

Ten minutes later, the Hufflepuff team, led by Link, returned to the Hufflepuff common room.

This speed of progress made many students breathless, after all, they had just eaten.

However, Link was not in a hurry to disband the team and let everyone go back to rest.

Not only that, after waiting for a while, Professor Sprout also walked into the common room led by Cedric.

"Link, it's so late, why don't you go to bed? Why don't you come over to me?"

Professor Sprout said with confusion as soon as he entered the door.

Sprout lives his life more like a farmer than the Herbology professor at Hogwarts.

In fact, Sprout was even worse than the farmer.

Because farmers at least have a relatively leisurely life during the off-farm period, but because of Sprout's magic, there is no need to pay attention to the season when planting things.

For her, every day is a busy day at work.

Ever since, waking up at the fifth watch and going to bed at the second watch has become her normal life.

Fortunately, she knew that Link would not come to disturb her sleep if there was nothing serious, so she had no idea in her mind.

"Professor Sprout, I asked you to come here today because I want to be a witness."

Link said with a deep bow to Professor Sprout.

Seeing this, Professor Sprout became even more confused, and the students around him were also very puzzled.

They didn't think there would be anything big happening within Hufflepuff that would require them all to be present to witness it, and their days had always been easy and slow.

Link didn't say anything more, and just took out a gold cup with a large number of badger-shaped patterns engraved on the surface from the Seamless Stretch Spell pocket on his waist.

The moment the golden cup appeared, the entire Hufflepuff common room fell silent.

Everyone stood there as if the pause button had been pressed, with only the firelight in the fireplace still flickering and jumping.

As a Hufflepuff, who hasn’t heard of the legend about the Hufflepuff Gold Cup?

"Ah this..."

Professor Sprout was the first to exclaim.

She suppressed her inner excitement, stretched out her trembling hands, pointed at the golden cup, and then at Link. Her mouth kept opening and closing, but nothing could be said.

Link smiled slightly when he saw this, took two steps forward and handed the golden cup to Professor Sprout.

This move seemed to bring back Professor Sprout's consciousness. With a pair of red eyes, she approached the golden cup and began to look at it, touch it, and even licked it twice.

Finally, she took out a piece of herbal medicine from somewhere, crushed it in her hand and sprinkled it directly into the golden cup.

This is a very necessary inspection method.

In the past, a guy who graduated from Ravenclaw came back with a crown and said that he had found a relic of Lady Ravenclaw.

Professor Flitwick was so happy that he couldn't open his mouth from ear to ear for several days, and even offered the crown directly to the Ravenclaw statue.

As a result, after Dumbledore and Lady Grey's confirmation, the crown was found to be a fake.

This brought shame to Professor Flitwick and the entire Ravenclaw House.

Hufflepuff couldn't make such a mistake.

There was a rustling sound like silkworms eating mulberry leaves.

The herbal fragments in the golden cup immediately began to dissolve continuously, and eventually turned into a pool of green juice, as well as some leaf stems and roots that were difficult to dissolve.

There is no splendor or flash of light in this whole process. It is as simple and unpretentious as the purpose of Hufflepuff College, but it is particularly magical and important!

Professor Sprout finally couldn't bear it anymore.

Tears kept pouring from her eyes, making her vision blurry.

She wanted to wipe away her tears, but was afraid that the tears would drip on the golden cup. In the end, she could only twist and rub her cheek with her shoulder.

"This... this is the real Hufflepuff Gold Cup! A relic of Ms. Hufflepuff..." Professor Sprout burst into tears, "Link, where did you get this!"

Sprout was a bomb.

The originally silent crowd exploded with a bang.

Everyone's sleepiness caused by eating too much was instantly dissipated. They all shouted "Don't squeeze, don't squeeze", but they rushed forward and pushed towards Professor Sprout, trying to It’s easier to see the golden cup from a closer distance.

Link glanced at the frenzied classmates around him, smiled and changed the subject to Professor Sprout:

"Although it took a lot of effort, it doesn't matter. Professor Sprout, can you let me personally offer the golden cup to Ms. Helga Hufflepuff?"

Professor Sprout obviously didn't expect Link to say that. He was stunned for a moment after hearing this, but he was still distracted as Link expected. He excitedly stuffed the golden cup back into Link's arms and said:

"Of course, go ahead, kid, this is your glory!"

Link took the golden cup with both hands, and the expression on his face finally became serious.

He faced the portrait of Helga Hufflepuff, stepped forward slowly while everyone watched with bated breath, and finally carefully placed the golden cup on the table below the portrait.

hum-

A gentle buzzing sound came from the golden cup.

The flames in the fireplace below exploded, and Ms. Hufflepuff's smile in the portrait seemed to become brighter.

Professor Sprout had already burst into tears.

The students around her were also so excited that they kept cheering.

The Golden Cup, which had been adhering to Hufflepuff's will for many years, finally returned to Hogwarts, the land where Hufflepuff had worked so hard.

At this moment, I am afraid that only the original Professor Flitwick can understand Sprout's mood at this moment.

At the same time, Link, who was under the gaze of the Hufflepuff portrait, slowly closed his eyes and began to observe the golden barrages floating on his retinas.
