I recite the Analects of Confucius at Hogwarts

The subscription ratio is insufficient, the waiting time or re-subscription can be seen, okay?

The students began to line up and slowly moved inside Hogwarts.Kong Yun's position was neither too far forward nor too far behind. He stood there for a while and soon caught a glimpse of another group of students who looked obviously senior students getting off the carriage and entering Hogwarts through another entrance. .

Kong Yun's eyes skipped the carriage and fell on the creatures responsible for pulling the carriage. They were quite strange. From the appearance, they looked like horses with wings. Their bodies were dark, as if they had blended into the night. , if you don’t look carefully, you can almost easily miss it.

Is it a magical creature unique to the British wizarding world?

Kong Yun was a little curious, but he couldn't continue reading.

The door of Hogwarts was completely opened by Professor McGonagall. He took one last look at the black "Pegasus" and followed the huge crowd into this huge and ancient castle.

The sorting ceremony that followed seemed to be similar to what he had read in a school history of Hogwarts: Slytherin believed that Hogwarts was a school for magic and wizards, and that mixed-bloods should not be eligible for admission. Gryffindor is very resistant to Slytherin's favorite candidates. He believes that compared to half-breeds, young wizards from dark wizard families are more intolerable.

So, the final result is what they see now: Gryffindor took off his hat, and the four founders of Hogwarts injected their thoughts on selecting students into the hat. Choose their respective students for them.And that hat

Kong Yun stared with interest at the tattered hat placed on the chair.

Inject one's own thoughts into the spiritual weapon to select students. In other words, this hat can detect the students' temperament and thoughts to a certain extent. It must be said that British magic is more comprehensive than Chinese magic. The magic is much stronger.

Facing the curious eyes of the little wizards, the Sorting Hat began to sing.

It was a very unpleasant song, but Kong Yun still tried his best to listen to it.The song was a little different from the one he'd read about in the book, also by the Sorting Hat.

The book mentions that Slytherin’s selection criteria are: “A power-hungry Slytherin, shrewdness and ambition are his only preferences.” But now the Sorting Hat sang “Maybe you will get into Slytherin” Leitlin, maybe you will make sincere friends here, but those insidious and cunning people will use any means to achieve their goals."

In other words, over these thousands of years, the Sorting Hat's perception of Slytherin has undergone a qualitative change. Compared with treating the four houses equally a thousand years ago, the Sorting Hat's current perception of Slytherin has obviously changed. Subjective consciousness, the Sorting Hat injected with thoughts is no longer a simple hat, but an alchemical life with its own consciousness and preferences.

I just don’t know to what extent its intelligence is.

Although his understanding was not in-depth, Kong Yun knew that the Mo family's research on mechanisms had also reached the point of "creative consciousness". For example, his pet Tuantuan was different from the pure mechanism pets sold by the Mo family on the market. In addition to having suspected The appearance of a real cat itself also has a certain degree of consciousness and intelligence.

In the British wizarding world, there are obviously wizards who have done this.

While he was distracted, the sorting ceremony was still going on in an orderly manner. Whenever the Sorting Hat announced the name of a house, there would be a burst of applause from the dining table of the corresponding house. When he came back to his senses, By then, there were very few students left.

"Yun Kong"

When Mag read out his name, this rather awkward name quickly attracted the attention of most people. As many people turned their attention to the young man walking out of the queue, many people said to be precise: The girls' eyes suddenly lit up.

They are used to seeing tall, clear-cut and three-dimensional British boys, but Kong Yun's face is more delicate and delicate, and his temperament is gentle, courteous and thrifty. In their eyes, Kong Yun is obviously something else.What's more, they have already begun to discuss how to win this oriental beauty as a joke.

Mag had to say "Quiet" seriously before the hall returned to calm.

Kong Yun stepped forward and put on the hat according to Mag's instructions.

"Oh, a brilliant mind and a great love of knowledge"

A feeling as if someone was spying on him, Kong Yun thought.This made him feel a little awkward. No one would like this feeling of being peered into their hearts. The purpose of the Sorting Hat's probing was to determine which of the students' beliefs and wills were closer to the standards of which of the four founders, in order to classify them. They are divided into different colleges, but for Chinese ascetics, the so-called "Tao" actually also means faith and will.

Choose the Tao, practice the Tao, understand the Tao, and prove the Tao.

The spiritual power of the ascetic will build a "small world" in the body according to the "Tao" he chooses. The strength of the spiritual power depends on the understanding and firmness of the "Tao". If the mind is distracted, the Tao If the mind is shaken, this "small world" will also fall into chaos, which will lead to the practice of practice stagnating or even retreating.

"Weird, this is the second time I have met such a strange student today." He could clearly hear the Sorting Hat talking to itself in his mind, as well as its somewhat worried tone: "It's a very contradictory feeling. Such a strong and determined soul, but why?”

Kong Yun closed his eyes quietly.

The world deep in the body suddenly became clear. It was a sapling less than the height of an adult. It was tender and young, half green, like a new leaf standing in the wind in spring; half withered and withered, like a broken branch falling silently on a snowy night. It is lifeless and has a tendency to continue to spread.

It may stop growing, or it may wither and die.

No one knows his own body better than him.

"This has nothing to do with you," he finally said.

As another new leaf fell, the tiny world disappeared in an instant, and the sense of exploration in the body was forcibly kicked out by the body's protective mechanism. The Sorting Hat groaned in pain, although it was difficult to say whether a hat could feel it. It hurts, but it persists:

"Actually, you made your decision early on, didn't you?"

Before the boy's face turned even worse, the Sorting Hat quickly and loudly completed the sorting process: "Well, Hufflepuff"

After saying this, it jumped off Kong Yun's head like flying. As a result, it missed its jump and stumbled to the ground, which made the little wizards present who had not yet been sorted even more disgusted.

Kong Yun did nothing more. In fact, he had no intention of doing anything to this tattered hat.He stood up from his chair, bowed slightly to Professor McGonagall beside him, and walked towards the table where applause was heard.

This was not a surprising result. After learning about the sorting method of Hogwarts through reading, in his opinion, apart from Slytherin and Gryffindor, whether he was sorted into Ravenclaw or Hercules, Chipachi, this was all what he expected.

But others seemed surprised.

In addition to the applause on the table that originally belonged to Hufflepuff, Kong Yun noticed that some of the curious eyes that were focused on him immediately became a little contemptuous and careless. In the eyes of some girls, The surprise was replaced by disappointment and a touch of disdain.

As if they had just experienced a small episode, they turned their attention back to another target worthy of attention, which seemed to be Harry Potter.

It seemed that he had been assigned to a less popular college.

Such thoughts only passed by for a moment, and soon Kong Yun no longer paid attention to other people's eyes.

As if he didn't notice the strange things, even with a malicious look in his eyes and a shy smile, he walked calmly and leisurely towards the Hufflepuff table, where Ernie and Justin, who had arrived earlier than him, were already happily He waved his hand.

He smiled and nodded to the applauding little badgers on the dining table, then pulled out his chair and sat down on the empty seat next to Ernie. As soon as he sat down, he heard a voice:

"You don't seem to be doing well." Kong Yun raised his head and was surprised to find that the person talking to him at this moment was a slightly fat ghost. He was floating opposite, and the concern on his face didn't look fake: " Don't care about other people's opinions, little one, Hufflepuff is a great house and I bet you'll like it here."

Considering that the pure soul body may have a more obvious perception of human emotions, Kong Yun was stunned for a moment, then regained his composure, and wiped away the messy thoughts in his heart. Nick and Justin, smiled and replied: "Thank you, I think I will, sir."

Ernie kept his hand covering his mouth and said nothing.

"Why do you think I'm in the Huaxia Association?" He paused for a moment before speaking out the words with difficulty: "I can't have enough to eat."

Ernie originally wanted to refuse to cooperate, but seeing Kong Yun’s expression of knowing everything, he felt that there was no need to hide it anymore, so he simply confessed: “Justin told me, he told me Most Chinese people are very poor. They can't even afford a tea egg, and many people starve to death every year, so "

Kong Yun: Very good, now he is starting to consider whether to turn around and beat Justin up.

He was shocked by these words for a while before he found his voice: "So"

"Yun, although we can't change your situation in China," Ernie said, his tone became serious: "But at least in Hogwarts, you don't have to worry about food."

Kong Yun thought of Ernie and Justin's tireless "nagging" in the past few days, as well as the overt and covert "advice" from the little badgers he knew and didn't know, and he felt angry and funny for a while.

Are you fools?

However, it is undeniable that although it resulted in less than wonderful results, this friendly misunderstanding did give him a greater sense of belonging to Hufflepuff. No matter how outsiders laughed at Hufflepuff, Kong Yun had Xiang Guang in his heart. Sexually, it is inevitable that people will be more attracted to such friendly and warm people.

What's more, he never felt that Hufflepuff looked like "waste".

Kong Yun has always accepted orthodox Confucianism since he was a child. He doesn't quite understand why qualities such as integrity, loyalty, friendliness, and tenacity have become symbols of "fools" in the eyes of some people. But this is not Affect his appreciation of this kind of person.

And ability has never been his criteria for choosing friends.

After finally convincing Ernie that he was really not starving in China, Kong Yun couldn't laugh or cry: "If you ask me, if you have such doubts, why don't you just ask me directly?"

Ernie touched his nose: "Oh, that's because Justin asked us not to mention this matter to you. He said it would hurt your self-esteem, so he didn't let us say it."

After hearing this, Kong Yun reluctantly decided to let Justin go.

But while Ernie was talking, he suddenly froze and said nervously: "I'm sorry, Yun. Did I hurt you by saying this?"

"You don't have to apologize, Ernie, it's nothing." Kong Yun gave him a helpless look: "Actually, I thought I told you just now that I never had enough to eat in China." He now began to sincerely say Suspicion, did Ernie really listen to the explanation he just gave?

Thinking about Hufflepuff's unreliability in gossip, Kong Yun suddenly felt a little better.

In order to truly dispel and change the scary and strange perceptions of his friends, Kong Yun decided to treat them to a real Chinese meal.

When Kong Yun seriously proposed his invitation, he could clearly see Ernie's hesitation, such as "Should I not eat dark food?" "Should I eat some other food beforehand just in case?" It’s rare for my friend to invite me and I can’t let him down” and so on.

In this regard, Kong Yun said that probably only because of his many and strange ideas, he was really out of tune with these Hufflepuffs.

It took a lot of effort to convince Ernie that Chinese people are really not so poor that they can't afford tea eggs, and he won't entertain him with any weird things. However, even though Ernie tried his best to cover up, Kong Yun still saw him secretly ordering a sandwich from the Hogwarts kitchen next door.

Kong Yun turned a blind eye to this.

Frankly speaking, he may not be sure about other things, but when it comes to Chinese food, he is still very confident. Compared with the terrible British recipes, Chinese food is [-]%

It's heaven.He has already told Ernie what needs to be said. If the other party eats too much beforehand and cannot eat the delicious food in front of him, it will be my fault.

Considering that the tastes of British and Chinese people are different, and there are indeed British people who are not interested in Chinese food, and it is evening, Kong Yun chose some dishes that are recognized as more popular with foreigners: sweet and sour pork, Kung Pao Chicken, fried rice and cashew shrimp.

Of course Kong Yun did not cook the food himself.

Speaking of which, we have to mention the house elves, a magical species in Hogwarts.At first, Kong Yun just followed the other little badgers to the kitchen next door to get some food. Then again, Kong Yun looked at the house elves who were basically full in terms of cooking skills and tentatively asked them if they wanted to cook. Able to provide Chinese cuisine.

When Kong Yun heard this question, the house elf was ashamed and wanted to hit the wall because he didn't know how to do it. After being stopped by him in time, he patted his chest and said that he would definitely learn it. Kong Yun didn't take it to heart at that time. , but the next time he came to the kitchen, what the house elf handed him was real Chinese food.

It can be said that it is very convenient.

Carrying various Chinese dishes prepared by the house elves, Kong Yun passed by the common room and returned to his dormitory. Many people were attracted by the smell, and those who were familiar with him were already asking about what he had eaten.

"These are the foods from my hometown." Kong Yun stayed in the common room for a while and introduced some Chinese dishes seriously: "This is sweet and sour pork, this is Kung Pao chicken, this is"

He didn't need too much introduction. The mellow and rich fragrance and exquisite appearance had already made the little badgers on the side salivate. Hufflepuff students are already famous for their passion for food. What's more, these exotic delicacies that I have never tasted before yet look delicious

Someone whispered: "I have to say, if I could eat such food every day, I would accept it even if I can't afford tea eggs."

There are also those who struggle to maintain their analytical skills in the face of delicious food: "This is incredible. Doesn't it mean that Chinese people can't even afford tea eggs? Let me tell you, I would trade a hundred tea eggs for these delicious foods."

""

Facing a pair of eyes that barely said "want to eat", Kong Yun couldn't help but laugh: "That's not all. There are many types and flavors of Chinese cuisine. I asked the house elves to get these for you. If you want to eat, just tell them the name of the dish."

It turns out that the power of good food is huge, especially for pure foodies like Hufflepuff.

Just an hour later, the rumor that "Chinese people are too poor to afford tea eggs" that made Kong Yun laugh or cry completely disappeared from the little badgers. Even those who were not present at the time also tried Huaxia with the help of their roommates afterwards. Delicious food, and immediately believed Kong Yun's explanation.

If nothing else, at least the tenderloin in sweet and sour pork is much more expensive than eggs.

As for Ernie

From the first bite he took of sweet and sour pork, Kong Yun witnessed his transformation from shock to enjoyment, from enjoyment to regret, from regret to heartache, to pitifully watching Kong Yun and Justin in front of each other. The sight of him enjoying mouth after mouth.

There was no way, he had eaten too much beforehand, and even if he wanted to eat now, he couldn't eat anymore. ╮╯╰╭

After finishing the rumor incident, Kong Yun relaxed a lot at this time. After finishing the delicacies, he casually asked in a happy mood: "By the way, you guys shouldn't hide anything else from me, right?"

For God's sake, he really just asked casually.However, none of the Hufflepuffs seemed to have much talent for lying. Justin immediately replied no, while Ernie averted his eyes for a moment before imitating Justin and saying, "No."

No matter how the voice sounded, it was an overreaction, trying to hide the truth.

Kong Yun: ""

Justin was obviously very interested in his friend who had no talent for lying. He sighed: "Let me tell you." He looked at Kong Yun: "I think you probably know that we Hufflepuffs Among the four colleges, the evaluation has always been not very good."

Not a gentleman

Justin was obviously very interested in his friend who had no talent for lying. He sighed: "Let me tell you." He looked at Kong Yun: "I think you probably know that we Hufflepuffs Among the four colleges, the evaluation has always been not very good."

Kong Yun nodded, with a vague guess in his mind.

On the day he was assigned to Hufflepuff, he was vaguely aware of the contempt that other houses had for Hufflepuff, and in the following days, he also learned that "fools", "bastards", and "trash" , "coward" and other words are used to describe Hufflepuff.

As expected, Justin said helplessly: "Now, they call you a fool with nothing to show for it."

Kong Yun said "Oh" and blinked with a smile: "I thought this was good news. At least now most people think I have a delicate face, don't you?"

Justin looked at him, but found that he could not find any emotion like anger in the other person's eyes. Those dark brown eyes were as pure and peaceful as ever, and he didn't seem to care at all.

Seeing that Kong Yun was not angry or frustrated, Ernie was relieved. He looked at his calm and calm friend, hesitated for a while, and finally said nothing.

The next morning, Kong Yun finished Professor McGonagall's Transfiguration class. As soon as he came out of the classroom, he heard a voice not far away: "Oh, Elena, my dear, are you serious? A timid and... Useless Hufflepuff, and he comes from the backward East. I even heard that they can't even afford tea eggs."

Kong Yun paused slightly in his progress. Less than a day later, he heard the tea egg theory again, and his mood was a little subtle.

"I think I have to remind you, Raymond." Another female voice said gently, but there was obvious disapproval in her tone: "He is a hundred times better looking than you, thank you."

"But he's just a loser"

Hearing these words, Kong Yun turned his head slightly and glanced in the direction of the sound. The boy and the girl looked about 14 years old. His eyes passed over the lion badges on their chests, and finally landed on them. With just one look on their faces, they looked away.

Ernie glanced at him with some worry, then he cleared his throat and said: "Listen to me, Yun, that boy is Raymond. He has been chasing Elena for a long time. Of course, we all know that Elena has no I don’t like him”

Kong Yun raised his head and looked at him.

"She likes you," Ernie said confidently, "Really, everyone knew what Elena said in person in the Gryffindor common room yesterday. For this reason, Raymond was very angry, so he did it just now."

He actually even knew about the Gryffindor common room.

A very powerful gossip network can, which is very Hufflepuff.

Kong Yun didn't take Elena's liking to heart. After this period of time, he had almost understood the psychology of those senior sisters who said they liked him with smiles. Their so-called liking was actually very simple. I think he looks cute, so I just tease him.

"cloud"

"It's nothing." After coming back to his senses, Kong Yun said nonchalantly: "They don't understand me. That's why they are prejudiced against me." He looked at Ernie's worried expression and relaxed Smiled: "I think just like everyone's prejudice against Hufflepuff, there is no need for us to care about the opinions of people who don't know us, right?"

Ernie was silent for a while, and then he whispered: "I care."

"what"

"Oh, I want to say that maybe you don't know, but we still care about the opinions of the other three colleges." Ernie said, he looked very frustrated: "We also want to prove to others, Hutch Patch is not stupid, but" he became more and more frustrated as he spoke, "There is no exception in the Academy Cup at the end of every year, Hufflepuff is ranked bottom."

When it comes to this topic, Justin is also helpless: "You know, Yun, although I don't want to admit it, in terms of classroom performance, we do not have the quick reaction ability of Ravenclaw and Slytherin."

Too difficult.

Kong Yun understood his unfulfilled intentions, but despite this, Kong Yun could only smile helplessly when faced with this topic.

To be honest, he wanted to contribute to his college, but the problem was that he took the second-year class directly without any first-year foundation, even though Kong Yun had always been good at learning knowledge. Although you have unique talents, it is still difficult to do better than other colleges in the second-year courses without having a first-year foundation.

Even in China, the Kong family has been jokingly called the "student family" by others in Fengshen Hall, but at this stage of Kong Yun's life, it can only be said that he has more than enough ambition but not enough power.

He felt a little worried, but with his attainments in British magic at the moment, it was useless to think too much. He worried for a while and simply devoted himself to studying with full enthusiasm.There happened to be no classes in the afternoon, so he packed some books and notebooks and went directly to the Hogwarts library.

"Good afternoon, Mrs. Pince."

Considering that this was a library, Kong Yun's voice was very soft. He greeted the librarian politely. The latter raised his eyes and glanced at him, with a rare and faint smile on his face. She He nodded as a return gift.

It was a very ordinary greeting. However, the other Hogwarts students who witnessed this scene for the first time could not help but show a look of "what the hell". Daily greetings are normal for others, but when have they ever seen ordinary people? Mrs. Si spoke to a student so gently.

You know, Mrs. Pince's status in the hearts of those students who like to cause mischief is no less than that of the administrator Filch.This stern witch is mostly unsmiling and can be very irritable and irritable towards students who break rules in the library.

Just three days ago, many people witnessed with their own eyes that a Gryffindor eating pie in the library had his bag, books, pens and other utensils bewitched by the angry Mrs. Pince, causing them to chase him. The beating lasted until he left the library. A full hour later, this one-sided "beating" ended.

But now, Mrs. Pince actually said hello to a Hufflepuff, and even showed a rare smile.

He didn't notice the stunned expressions of others. Once he arrived at the library, the only thing that could attract his attention was the books themselves.

Kong Yun held his books and stationery and sat down at a table by the window.After neatly laying out the things he needed, he raised his eyes and glanced at the library. When he discovered that Hermione Granger had not come today, he withdrew his eyes with some disappointment and turned his attention to On the books in front of you.

During this period, someone seemed to sit down in the empty seat opposite him, and Kong Yun didn't pay attention. When he was reading, once he fell into it, it was difficult to be affected by the surrounding environment.Unless someone intentionally interferes, he has no objection to where others sit.

Then he heard a distinct cough from the opposite side.

Kong Yun subconsciously raised his head, looking slightly stunned.

He knew this man.

Draco Malfoy.

It was an unexpected encounter on the Hogwarts Express at first, but since one of them was sorted into Slytherin and the other into Hufflepuff, the two of them have not had any intersection. In the second grade, there will be no chance of contact.

As for why they knew each other's names, this must be attributed to Hufflepuff's strong ability to control gossip. Less than a week after school started, the names Harry Potter and Draco Malfoy quickly spread throughout Hogwart. Hereby.

Needless to say, Harry Potter was famous, even Kong Yun had heard about it before he entered school. Although Mr. Snape, the Potions Professor, has always hated Gryffindor, he was able to control it as tightly as Harry Potter. Dean Slytherin's hatred level prevented quite a few other students from being spared.

As for Draco Malfoy, there are mixed reviews.Most people always think that Slytherin students are a bunch of Death Eater reserves, especially the Malfoy family who was once a vassal of that person.But Draco's academic excellence has attracted the attention of many students and even professors.
