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

"Let's go, let's go to the last place."

It has to be said that Kong Yun was still very interested in the "last place" that Draco mentioned repeatedly but never revealed at all.This curiosity even temporarily suppressed other complicated thoughts in his heart, and turned to pay attention to the strange building in front of him with great interest.

From the appearance point of view, this shop seems to be no different from other shops on the street. It is decorated in the same dark color. The brown gate was half-hidden under the shadow of the luxuriant trees, and a crystal wind chime in the shape of a campanula hung from above the gate. As the gate was pushed open, it made a crisp and pleasant sound.

The black-haired Hufflepuff glanced over the entire store interior very quickly, with a little surprise and confusion in his eyes: "This is...?"

There are soft sofas, tables and chairs neatly and orderly in the room, some are single-sized and some are long.Near the center is the bar counter. A middle-aged man in waiter's attire is lowering his head and concentrating on mixing a glass of dark red wine. Another person who is completely hidden in a wizard's robe is leaning against the bar and waiting. , Occasionally say a few words lazily.

It looked like the pubs he'd seen in Diagon Alley and Hogsmeade.

But if it is a bar, the whole room is completely devoid of the hustle and bustle of a bar, but is filled with a sense of warmth like a small hotel. On some wooden tables there are several plates of freshly baked biscuits, occasionally A few books with unclear names.The indoor light is not too bright, but it is comfortable enough, like the coffee bookstore he has seen in the Muggle world, quiet and leisurely.

It seems that as long as I sit here, there is a feeling that time has slowed down.

"The Bluebell Bar."

Perhaps because there were other people beside him, Draco didn't explain too much. Now when he said the name of the bar, his voice was consciously lowered so that only two people could hear it.

It also succeeded in not attracting the attention of others——

Except for the middle-aged man standing behind the bar.

From the time the two of them pushed the door in, to the time when the door was slowly closed again, no one turned to look at the new visitors from the beginning, except for the man who was mixing the wine, he paused and glanced at them.Kong Yun clearly noticed that he pointed in the direction he was in—to be precise, the senior Slytherin beside him, and nodded politely and respectfully, as if to say hello.

Draco nodded slightly in return.

This is still a small episode.

In fact, they only stayed outside the hall for less than three seconds before Kong Yun was led by the fellow Slytherin and went further inside.

It can be seen that Draco is very familiar with this place, and this familiarity is two-way, considering the attitude of the middle-aged man at the bar - either he comes here often and becomes a frequent visitor to this bar, or...

They stopped outside a separate box.

As Draco slowly pushed open the door of the box, bright light rushed out from the gradually widening gap, illuminating the corridor and clearly reflecting the scene inside the box.

Kong Yun was slightly taken aback by the room in front of him.

There is no need for too many detailed descriptions. In a word, this is a typical Slytherin-style room. The color of the walls and the style of the sofa are like the Slytherin common room a thousand years later. With his familiar breath.

At this time, Hogwarts was less than four years old, and it was impossible for the bar owner to specially arrange such a Slytherin-style box just because it came from Hogwarts.

In other words, there is only one possibility left: this bar belongs to Salazar Slytherin.

"I asked Professor Slytherin." Draco sat down on the sofa: "He promised me that after we go back this time, we can try to explore deeper into the Forbidden Forest."

Since they accidentally came to this era four years ago, the two have never given up on finding a way to go back. Considering that the key is the Forbidden Forest, they have also visited this place listed as a forbidden area by Hogwarts. Only due to the limitations of their own strength and the requirements of the professors, the scope of exploration of the two is limited to the periphery, and the deeper areas are still forbidden to approach.

Compared with the zero progress of the two so far, this is undoubtedly good news.

What should I do if I can't go back?

Kong Yun has not considered this issue, or rather, he is unwilling to consider this possibility.Of course, there is nothing wrong with staying in this era, but his relatives are in another era after all—and those concerns are precisely what he cannot give up no matter what.

Talking about this topic again now, thinking of the possibility, both of them were silent for a moment.

At this moment, the silent door suddenly creaked and opened.

The dark door was slowly pushed open, revealing a girl with long pale golden hair and blue eyes.She was wearing an ordinary coarse cloth in the style of a waiter, but she was clean and tidy enough, with a proper smile on her lips, neither too indifferent nor too enthusiastic.

She doesn't look like a little wizard from a wealthy family, but she looks well-educated in every move, calm and calm.

When Kong Yun met her eyes, he smiled at her habitually, but a faint disdain flashed in the girl's eyes, and soon disappeared without a trace, as if the contempt just now was an illusion.

However, when she noticed the young man on the sofa, she couldn't stop the reserved smile on her lips, and her calm eyes instantly brightened, with more joy and surprise: "Uncle Waite told When I was there, I couldn't believe it - it's nice to see you again, Mr Malfoy."

Compared with the girl's Qi Qi Ai Ai's expression, Draco looked much colder.

"Without the consent of the room owner, trespassing, turning a blind eye to the guests, being arrogant and rude." His face was cold, his voice was cold, and there seemed to be a layer of frost in his gray-blue eyes: "I used to be Did you teach me that?"

……before?teach?

Kong Yun's heart moved slightly, but he saw the girl's expression froze.

Facing the merciless reprimand of the platinum-blonde youth, the girl's eyes were reddish, she bit her lip, turned around and backed out.

The door was gently opened and then closed again. Just when Kong Yun thought that another little girl was about to be driven away by Draco, there was a clear knock on the door.

"Come in."

Following Draco's promise, the closed door was opened again, and the girl with light blond hair lowered her head slightly, and walked in slowly, her eye circles still had a faint redness, but her expression was calm at the moment , said politely: "Good afternoon, Mr. Malfoy."

"I'm sorry, sir." She faced Kong Yun and bowed deeply: "I am very ashamed of my rudeness just now, please forgive me."

For the girl's reaction, Draco didn't say he was satisfied or dissatisfied. In fact, his expression was still cold and expressionless at the moment, which made Kong Yun, who was planning to respond to the other party, also choose to remain silent. , only heard him ask calmly: "Miss Ellis, what's the matter?"

His straightforward inquiry made the girl speechless.

Kong Yun also glanced at his friend inexplicably—in terms of popularity at Hogwarts, Draco is not far behind him, and he has experienced many similar things. The reason is that you can't see what the girl is thinking.

Obviously, he did it on purpose.

Turning a blind eye to the girl's nervousness, Draco said lightly: "If you have nothing to do, go out, we still have something to discuss."

When he said this, his tone was quite flat, but it didn't have any meaning of discussion - discerning that the tone was close to an order, the girl could only bite her lips, and left unwillingly and disappointed.

Seeing the girl appearing suddenly and then disappearing neatly, Kong Yun lowered his eyes slightly, hiding the unexplainable displeasure in his eyes, and said casually, "Does Professor Slytherin know about employing underage wizards in bars?"

His tone was meant to be joking, but unexpectedly he didn't get any response at the moment. Kong Yun raised his head, only to see the young man in front of him with a slight smile on his lips, and his gray-blue eyes flickering. Staring at him, as if he found something that made him happy.

"...Draco?"

Sensing the confusion and strangeness in the black-haired Hufflepuff's eyes, he quit as soon as he saw it, and cut straight to the point: "When I met Ellis, she was sold to slave traders by her Muggle parents, she I'm not old enough to enter Hogwarts, so I'll let her stay here and help, and go to Hogwarts when she's 11."

This passage is a concise and clear explanation of Elis' origin, but considering his words and what he just said to Elis, Kong Yun was slightly startled, and blurted out: "...so, this The bar is yours? Not Professor Slytherin's?"

"Professor Slytherin will not allow me to take in little Muggle-born wizards." Draco stared at him intently, and his cold face softened: "What's more, didn't you tell me before that you wanted to establish a special help Is it an institution for adult Muggles to breed wizards? I want to try to explore what methods and approaches are needed to establish and allow this kind of institution to exist for a long time."

Kong Yun looked back at him calmly, the black-haired Hufflepuff was silent for a while, and then asked: "So, your conclusion is—?"

Draco's eyes flickered slightly, but he didn't answer.

Kong Yun has already affirmed the guess in his heart.

It is not a simple matter to establish a structure dedicated to helping minor Muggle-born wizards. In addition to manpower and material resources, there are also financial issues that must be considered.Hogwarts has survived thanks to the patronage of generations of wizards.

In other words, in order for this organization to last forever, and to continue beyond the millennium, there must be a long-term and effective source of financial resources, and this, Kong Yun has already seen Draco's in Elis. answer:

Little wizards will enter Hogwarts to study when they are 11 years old. That is to say, this welfare institution needs to be responsible for the life of little wizards before the age of 11, so that little wizards who have no relatives and are abused by Muggle relatives There is a normal living environment, and some healthy enlightenment teachings for the little Muggle-born wizards with a harmonious family...

Before the age of 11, it is the stage when the child's character is gradually formed.

For these children, the institution itself, which gives them a healthy and peaceful living environment, gives them materials, care and love, and frees them from isolation and helplessness, must be different from the person who occupies the largest proportion. .

When they graduate from Hogwarts one after another, master the skills of independent living, and have a certain economic strength, except for a few white-eyed wolves, most of them will generally make reciprocal measures, and at this time, it is on them. Investors who have paid financial and material resources will reap the fruits.Even if there is no real return, these people themselves are enough to form a huge network of contacts.

Use tangible future benefits to attract funders so that this institution can survive for a long time.

Kong Yun was silent for a long time.

He originally thought that he should hate this kind of practice, but inexplicably, what came to his mind now was another confusion that had been buried deep in his heart all along:

Speaking of the opposite of Slytherin, many people will immediately think of Gryffindor, but in fact, in terms of the conflict of ideas between the two sides, Hufflepuff is the one who is really completely on the opposite side of Slytherin.

And Helga, who believes in equality, justice and benevolence, who said "I am willing to teach everyone and treat them equally", can really accept Salazar's blood discrimination?

However, whether it is the facts seen thousands of years ago, or the clear records in the history of Hogwarts school thousands of years later, the one who quarrels with Slytherin because of disagreement has always been Gryffindor, from beginning to end No, Hufflepuff hadn't had a single argument with a Slytherin.

why?

...Really, just because Helga is soft-tempered and doesn't want to quarrel with friends?
