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

"You did very well."

In the head Slytherin's office located in the basement, the air was as humid as if it had just rained. A faint green light hung down from the dark brown ceiling, leaving spots of light on the dark floor.The man's voice came from behind the desk lightly, with some kind of unpredictable taste.

Like this foggy room.

Draco lowered his eyes slightly, looking at the chaotic desktop: "This is what I should do."

Since the official opening of Hogwarts, Salazar has also frequently asked him to do other things: neither accompanying him in the study of some kind of magic, nor small things like taking care of children, which is not a big deal Well, to say the least - Salazar hoped that Draco would replace him and keep an eye on the bunch of Slytherin kids who had just started school.

It sounds like a job similar to that of a prefect, but Draco, who is well aware of the characteristics of Slytherin House, knows that this is not a simple matter.

Slytherin was not a simple house from the very beginning, most of the students who were straightforward and had no background, most of them went to the other three houses.What's more, due to Salazar's direct request, every little wizard in this freshman class of Slytherin comes from a pure-blood family.

Thousands of years later, Hogwarts certainly had the crisis of Voldemort, but the environmental chaos and dangers of the British wizarding world thousands of years ago were far beyond what Voldemort alone could match.In other words, these young wizards who are new to Slytherin probably began to learn black magic from their families when they were very young.

On the other hand, for a pure-blood family in troubled times, would they really believe in a newly established magic school?No matter how powerful the founder himself is, the development of the school is still unknown, and the impact Hogwarts will have on the wizarding world is also unknown.

I dare not say everything, at least in Slytherin now, there must be some parents who send their children to Hogwarts with a tentative mentality.

Because of this, if you want to deal with these things well, you must understand the twists and turns inside.

"It's been hard work for you during this time. I'll take care of Mr. Evans' affairs in person. It just so happens that you can take some time to do your own things." Salazar said lightly, and stood up from behind the desk. : "You should be very clear about the place in the □□ area?"

Watching the figure of Head Slytherin go further and further away, Draco turned his head slightly, his expression hidden in the dim light was inexplicable.

It should be a great honor for a Slytherin to get the affirmation and praise from Salazar Slytherin, but Draco is still not happy at this moment.

Salazar's thumbs up was real.

But those faint regrets that were so well hidden in the deep eyes of Head Slytherin, almost lost, were also real.

What is regret?

It was by chance that I found a book that I had wanted for a long time, only to find that the page you were most looking forward to was missing.It was with great difficulty that I got a piece of exquisite and translucent top-quality jade, but the corners were slightly damaged.It was you who finally had a certain food that you dreamed of back then, but the taste you missed the most is no longer there.

It's not disappointment, it's not disappointment.But in Draco's view, this kind of regret, which is so bland that it is almost imperceptible, is the most shocking.

He left the basement in a daze along the stairs, and the darkness in front of him was quickly covered by bright light. It was rare for a junior Slytherin to rush back to the dark cellar to continue his research. He idly posted a message in the corridor. After staying for a while, when I came back to my senses, I had already arrived at the familiar courtyard.

It happened to be a rare sunny day recently, and the courtyard was full of playful little guys as always. He just glanced at it casually, and caught a glimpse of sitting behind a big rock surrounded by a group of little kids with ADHD. Surrounded by teenagers in the center.The Hufflepuff who was surrounded by groups didn't mean to be impatient, but just looked helpless.

When Draco walked in, he happened to see the lower grade Hufflepuff spread his hands, and said helplessly, "There is really no more - today I only made a cake, cut it into six pieces, and gave it to everyone." You guys, where did you get the rest?"

The little guys seemed a little disappointed, but it was just disappointment. The little badgers moved a little closer to the boy, took out their books, sat down, and pretended to read a book. A series of actions were done in one go.Those who reacted slower were planning to learn something, when suddenly there was a light coughing sound from behind.

The little ones who were startled blinked their eyes and turned their heads in a daze——

After recognizing the face of the visitor, the little fellows who had just sat down immediately stood up, thanked Kong Yun hastily but politely, and disappeared in an instant.

"..." Kong Yun was even more helpless: "Draco, don't scare them all the time." As he said, he patted the grass clippings on his body, stood up from the grass, and took out a separate paper The box was handed over.

Selectively ignoring the other party's words, he took the paper box casually, felt the weight inside, Draco raised his eyebrows, the meaning was unclear: "...you only made one copy in total today?"

"You have pudding in your hand. I did only make one piece of cake today. Is there any problem?" Kong Yun said casually, "Well, I have a question for Professor Ravenclaw, let's go together. "

"I'll have..."

"Apart from having nothing to do and shutting yourself up in the cellar and forgetting to eat and sleep, what else can you do?" Without giving the other party any room for consideration or negotiation, the junior Hufflepuff announced happily: "Let's go, at this point in time, professors They should all be in the staff lounge." After finishing speaking, he dragged him away without giving him a chance to refute.

However, neither of the two expected that they would bump into the best friends of Gryffindor and Slytherin who were once written in the history of Hogwarts. The scene of being angry and flushed - of course, the anger and flushing are probably unilaterally done by Gryffindor.

Salazar's voice was low, understated, and indifferent.

Knowing that this was not a good time to knock on the door and ask, the two left the corridor where the lounge was located in a tacit understanding. As soon as they walked out of this corridor, they bumped into Hengis running over excitedly.

Draco felt a little strange.

To be honest, in his eyes, Hufflepuff is always the most unknown existence in Hogwarts compared to Gryffindor who has been pinching each other. Kong Yun is his first friend from Hufflepuff. It is also the only one. Coincidentally, the closer he is to Kong Yun and the more Hufflepuffs he comes into contact with, the more he realizes that this seemingly ordinary but ordinary academy is not like many people so As ordinary as it is.

The head of Hufflepuff who protects the short-term; Cedric Diggory who chooses justice in the face of the glory that is close at hand; Helga Hufflepuff, the founder who hopes that all young wizards can enjoy equal educational rights; Suffering from rumors and prejudice, Hengis was full of thoughts on building a wizarding paradise and making Hufflepuff proud of himself; even, in the last battle of his previous life, he was the first to stand up, Calling on students to fight for Hogwarts, Ernie McMillan.

And, the junior Hufflepuff standing in front of him at the moment.

Sometimes you feel that he is too docile and gentle, but at some critical moments he can always be tougher and firmer than anyone else.Sometimes you almost think that he is too sharp, reminiscent of the sharp thorns all over the body of a badger, and then when you think you are about to be stabbed, he will reveal to you that he is wrapped in layers of thorns, Unbelievably soft inside.

He suddenly remembered that day at the stake, when Head Slytherin looked at Kong Yun, he had an undisguised expression of appreciation on his face.

Salazar never expressed his thoughts clearly, but Draco always knew that Salazar admired Kong Yun no less than any one of Helga, Godric and Rowena, even if he didn't understand , Where does this kind of appreciation come from, but he can be sure that this kind of appreciation is not just due to a teacher's recognition of a student with outstanding talents.

In the last battle of Hogwarts that year, compared to Gryffindor who left most of the students, Hufflepuff only left half.

Thinking back now, did the missing half of the Hufflepuffs choose to back down because of their own timidity, or because, as little wizards in the first to third and fourth grades, aged 11 to 14, they considered their own age and A prudent decision made only because of limitations in ability?

he does not know.

What Draco didn't know was that before he and Kong Yun spoke approvingly, many people had laughed at Hengis' unrealistic dream.

What Hengis didn't know was that the seemingly ridiculous dream he was harboring at the moment had already become a miracle in the magic world in Britain 1000 years later.

And in Hogwarts after 1000, there will be a Hufflepuff student with a gentle nature, because someone else said "The founder of Hogsmeade is a smart and great wizard, of course he should come from Ravenc Law", angrily fought a formal wizard duel with the other party, and he would not hesitate to be punished for this.

No matter how the enrollment requirements have evolved over the millennium, the will of Helga Hufflepuff has always been passed on without reservation.
