[Comprehensive] Those years when I memorized the Analects of Confucius

Road is different.

When Kong Yun assisted Professor Sprout in healing the Whomping Willow and returned to the auditorium, there were only a few people left in the huge Hogwarts auditorium. He glanced around and did not see Ernie and Justin The figure probably left early.Just as he was about to follow him back to the Hufflepuff dormitory, a familiar voice suddenly stopped him.

"cloud--"

Kong Yun heard the reputation and asked, "Senior Digory?" It was right to take the freshmen back to the Hufflepuff common room.

Speaking of this...

"Speaking of which, I haven't congratulated the senior for becoming a prefect." The junior Hufflepuff smiled and congratulated: "I hope my congratulations are not too late."

"Your congratulations, it's never too late." Cedric said, just as the words came out, both of them were taken aback, and the new Hufflepuff prefect coughed: "I mean, congratulations on such things, It's never too late."

"Let's not talk about it. In fact, I'm worrying about it."

Cedric showed a somewhat helpless wry smile: "When I was counting the number of people in the lounge just now, I realized that a little guy seemed to be lost—but you saw it too, and I didn't find anything."

"Lost?" Kong Yun frowned. Although Hogwarts is relatively safe in general, for a freshman who just entered school, getting lost or entering a place that shouldn't be entered is a possibility. Certainly risky.Thinking of this, he couldn't help feeling a little worried: "Have you searched all the way in the direction of going back?"

"I've searched and found nothing." Cedric shook his head worriedly: "What I'm worried about now is whether he will accidentally enter the lounges of other colleges, or some other place... Hurry up. Find him."

"In that case, why don't I help you find it together." Kong Yun looked at the darkening night outside the window, thought for a while, and quickly made a decision: "I'll look in the direction from the lounge to the basement. Look, senior, can you go upstairs and have a look?"

Cedric hesitated: "But you are not a prefect, if you are caught by Filch at this time..."

"I can tell Mr. Filch that I just came back from helping Professor Sprout deal with the Whomping Willow—" Kong Yun said, while hugging Tuantuan who was squatting on the ground chasing tails, he said comfortingly, "And this It was the truth, wasn't it?"

Without giving Cedric any more time to hesitate, the junior Hufflepuff stuffed the kitten into his pocket, waved at him, and then turned around and headed towards the basement.

It was late at this time, the stairwell was quiet, no students or professors could be seen, only a few ghosts drifted by occasionally, Kong Yun took the opportunity to ask the fat layman if he saw a lost person Little Hufflepuff, after getting a negative answer from the other party, he had no choice but to continue searching in disappointment.

The Hufflepuff common room is located in the part of the basement that is closest to the ground. Kong Yun arrived at the entrance of the lounge without walking a few stairs. There was no one in front of the barrel, and the door hidden in the dark was always closed Then, he frowned and continued to walk down.

Further down is Slytherin territory.

Kong Yun rubbed his forehead, feeling a little heavy: Although he has a general impression of Slytherin, Kong Yun has to admit that, for a Hufflepuff, there is nothing better than entering Slytherin by mistake in the other three houses. Leitlin's territory is even more terrifying.

He sincerely hoped that the little guy hadn't accidentally followed the young Slytherins into the cellar.

Fortunately, things were indeed a little better than he expected——

I have to say that he was really relieved when he bumped into Draco head-on on the stairs, and the little Hufflepuff who followed him obediently back with his head down.

"Thanks, Draco—it seems like you've done me another big favor."

Kong Yun heaved a sigh of relief, and stood in front of the two of them a few steps. The little badger who had lowered his head suddenly raised his head and saw him, and his eyes lit up. The little guy thought about it, and nodded seriously to Draco. After thanking him softly, he took two steps forward and shrank behind Kong Yun.

Not an unexpected answer.

The junior Slytherin, who received two thank yous in a row, was in an indescribably delicate mood. Before he could figure out where this inexplicable emotion came from, Kong Yun had already turned his head and looked at the The little guy behind him reminded him: "Remember not to go wrong again next time, not every time someone is willing to take you out with kindness, you know?"

The little guy nodded whether he wanted to cry or not, and there was still a little cringe in his eyes that hadn't completely faded away.Noticing this, Kong Yun couldn't help but frowned slightly:

"what happened?"

It's not that he doesn't believe in Draco, maybe it's because he has witnessed the dark side of Slytherin by chance, even though he doesn't have any bad feelings for the academy itself, Kong Yun still doesn't have much affection for it, which makes him a little bit I'm a little worried, whether the first-year Hufflepuff in front of me has experienced something bad during the time he left the team.

As if he didn't expect to be asked this question, the first-year Hufflepuff was stunned. He looked at Kong Yun's expression carefully, and after a while, he said aggrievedly: "They told me, and the invention Compared with Slytherin, who has cast countless profound spells, Hufflepuffs are a bunch of stupid and cowardly wastes. They will only invent gourmet spells, self-cleaning rags and other meaningless things... is it true? Is it?"

Kong Yun thought for a while, and was not in a hurry to deny his words, but asked him, "What about you?"

"Do you also think that things like food spells and self-cleaning rags are meaningless compared to the spells used to hurt people?"

"No!" As if being asked some serious question, the little badger in front of him blushed and said emotionally: "I think Hufflepuff is the best house! I like Hufflepuff. Patch! I'm just..." Seemingly thinking of the ridicule and disdain of others, he pursed his lips, wanting to say something, but for a while he didn't know how to express it, and his face suddenly showed anxiety.

"That's enough." Kong Yun said softly.

"If anyone thinks that hard work is stupid, that prudence is cowardly, that loyalty is useless, and that magic used to harm people is more valuable than inventions that benefit most people, let them do it." Gentle Hufflepuff, a junior Tell him: "Slytherins always have such a stupid prejudice, in fact, they don't realize one thing all the time."

As the only Slytherin present, Draco couldn't help coughing lightly to show his presence.

However, the two Hufflepuffs present chose to cruelly ignore this without exception. Under the curious eyes of the little badger, the junior Hufflepuff bent down, touched the head of the junior, and said softly: " That is—it is always easier to destroy than to create.”

When Cedric came down the stairs in a hurry, he saw the three people standing on the stairs at a glance. Before that, he didn't notice it. Now he glanced over from a distance, and suddenly realized that the junior He The red hairband on Chippaqi's body has been replaced by a silver-green one unconsciously.

At the same time, the young man's voice, which was different from the past, was calm but hidden sharp, and it sounded in the stairwell without any haste: "So, have mercy on them."

really weird.thought Cedric.

Obviously they are two completely opposite words, but gentleness and sharpness have been almost perfectly unified in the young man in front of him. When he leaned over to comfort the little guy, there was a soft smile between his brows and eyes, and he straightened up and smiled. When talking about sympathizing with them, there is an imperceptible but real arrogance hidden in the casual eyes.

Most of the time, "arrogant" is not a flattering adjective for Cedric, let alone someone who is arrogant, but the strange thing is that when the word falls on the other party, he Not only did he not feel disgusted, but he had the urge to smile.

Thinking about it, Hufflepuff prefect couldn't help but smile.

"Senior Diggory!"

The first one to notice his arrival was the recovered first-year Hufflepuff. The little boy blinked his eyes and waved to him in a trembling spirit, as if he was no longer bothered by gossip.

Cedric smiled at the little guy and nodded. He took a step forward, bent slightly, but thanked Draco seriously and formally: "Mr. Malfoy, thank you very much for your help."

From tone of voice, demeanor, to language itself, they are all impeccably polite and distant.

Draco nodded slightly as a response.

After getting the other party's response, Cedric quickly looked away, and stopped looking at Slytherin on the side. He turned his head, and when facing the junior Hufflepuff beside him, the corner of his mouth His smile became real again: "Please accompany me to search for so long, Yun."

"Go back together?"

I don't know why, but at this moment, Draco suddenly realized why when Kong Yun said, "You seem to have done me a big favor again", there was an indescribable weirdness and subtlety in his heart:

For Kong Yun, who is not a prefect, it is not his responsibility to find the little badger who got lost halfway, so why is it "a big help"?

In connection with the scene at this time, and Hufflepuff prefect's words, this weirdness seems to be resolved.

But then again, there doesn't seem to be anything strange about this.Draco thought.As early as last semester, didn't I already know about the other party's crush on the new Hufflepuff prefect?

Besides...

Turning his gaze to the two Hufflepuffs in front of him, the usually calm eyes of the junior Slytherin deepened, and the memory that had almost been forgotten by him suddenly emerged clearly from his mind ——

At that time, on the Quidditch pitch, what did that Gryffindor named Elena say?

"After all, not everyone is as considerate as my little prince." The girl said in a confident tone: "Well, Digory is also counted——after all, they are from the same world."

People from the same world... huh?
