The crowd was noisy, and the little wizards all gathered around Fred and George, waiting for the two of them to come up with more mischief products. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Pig's tail candies and canary biscuits were a big hit, and the crowd was filled with the sound of popping and deforming.

Hermione was the only one who didn't go up to join in the fun, curled up quietly on the couch, squinting at the fire in the fireplace.

The firelight flickered, and Hermione's bright brown eyes shimmered, and her brow furrowed slightly as if she was trying to think.

Seeing her appearance, Evan knew that she must still be thinking about the house-elves in the kitchen.

He knew Hermione too well to know how to get into the kitchen, and she was sure she was going to do something there.

Sure enough, halfway through the, she snuck out alone.

Aven, who had been paying attention to Hermione, sighed and hurriedly followed.

In the dimly lit hallway, Hermione turned like a kitten and heard footsteps behind her.

"What are you doing with me?" she looked at Evan in surprise.

"I know you're going to the kitchen looking for a house-elf, and I'm going with you. Evan said seriously.

He had been to the kitchen a few times before when he had wandered around the castle at night, but he had not gone deeper.

Imagine this image of you sneaking into the school kitchen in the middle of the night to find something to eat.

As soon as you entered, you were surrounded by a group of house-elves who came out of nowhere and reached your knees.

They stared at their master with bulb-wide eyes, looked respectfully at their master, and asked in a shrill voice what you need.

Before you can speak, more house-elves will appear one after another, light the fire, and take the initiative to make food.

You're just a little hungry and want to go to the kitchen to see if there's any biscuits, pies, or anything like that, but these house-elves will be very enthusiastic about preparing a feast for you.

They can even burn a cow if they need to.

Even though it was the second half of the night, even though they were pleasantly surprised by your intrusion, even though the delicious food was all very troublesome to make, despite all the difficulties, they never complained.

The house-elves will only use a humble tone to ask if you are satisfied and if you need more to eat.

If you have the slightest dissatisfaction on your face, they will take the initiative to punish themselves, and they will be honestly afraid......

It was so embarrassing that Evan had only experienced it once and didn't want to try it again.

After that, whatever he wanted to eat, he told Dobby directly to help him get ready to take to the common room.

Regardless of whether Hermione's concept of defending the rights and interests of house-elves was correct, Evan believed that it was indeed necessary to change the minds of house-elves appropriately, and they really didn't need to do it to this extent, even if they were slaves of wizards......

That's the main reason why Evan plans to accompany Hermione back to the kitchen tonight, and he wants to do something for the house-elves.

Also, considering that Hermione may have been overly excited after seeing so many house-elves......

Evan thought it necessary to keep an eye on her to prevent Hermione from doing anything bad.

In addition, he had looked up a lot of information about the life of Helga Hufflepuff, and had speculated about the location of the secret treasure key she left behind.

He believes that the key to the treasure left behind by Hufflepuff is most likely in the hands of the house-elves or in the kitchen.

Helga Hufflepuff is known to be the greatest wizard of his time.

In historical evaluation, her final achievements surpassed those of the other three founders.

Unlike Slytherin, who left the school abruptly and had no news or record for the rest of her life, Hufflepuff stayed in the school since Hogwarts was founded, dedicating her life to Hogwarts until her death finally came.

Hufflepuff was the longest-lived of the four founders and the first Headmaster of Hogwarts.

Those who have read "A History of Hogwarts" will know that at the beginning of the story, the four founders co-founded Hogwarts, leaving behind many legends.

But the second half of the story is a solo Hufflepuff solo who has spent countless days and nights single-handedly growing Hogwarts.

She laid the foundations of the world's greatest magical school and changed the landscape of the wizarding world.

For nearly a thousand years, almost all historians of magic have considered Hufflepuff to be the greatest wizard and the greatest educator in the history of magic.

She has won praise from those who came after her with her actions, and the school rules and teaching framework she created have continued to this day.

As the first Headmaster of Hogwarts, Helga Hufflepuff continued the tradition of the other three founders to the greatest extent possible and strictly followed them.

While inheriting the educational philosophy of the other three founders, it has also become the most distinctive place of this school.

In addition to this, the main achievement of her tenure was to recruit Muggle-born young wizards to school.

Although this has been raised since the Big Four era, the enrollment scale has been small.

At the time, the dominant belief in the wizarding world was that magic was sacred and should not be defiled by the Mudbloods.

Most of the ignorant Muggles, on the other hand, kill children who are found to have magical talents in the name of evil.

In this environment, it is extremely difficult to recruit Muggle students on a large scale.

Gryffindor, Ravenclaw, and Hufflepuff have made a lot of preparations for this, but due to many restrictions, it has not been fully implemented.

After the deaths of Gryffindor and Ravenclaw, the benevolent Hufflepuff became the Headmaster of Hogwarts. Soon after she took office, she defied public opinion and despite the opposition of many pure-blood wizarding families, she further expanded the enrollment of Muggle students, showing a clear path for many Muggle students.

At its peak, Hogwarts expanded its enrollment to over 50,000 students throughout Europe and the Mediterranean.

It is worth noting that in those days when there was no board sponsorship, the tuition and living expenses of these Muggle students were all covered by Hufflepuff alone.

For this reason, she exhausted all the wealth inherited by her family for thousands of years, leaving only her favorite gold cup.

Naturally, her move was unanimously opposed by the mainstream wizarding community, which is dominated by pure-blood wizard families.

Even her own children, as well as the descendants of Gryffindor, Ravenclaw, and Slytherin, did not approve of her doing so, and the pure-blood wizarding families banded together to boycott and lock down Hogwarts, and even many evil dark wizards directly attacked the place.

Hogwarts was on the verge of closure and was in a difficult situation, all of which were barely maintained by Hufflepuff alone.

Regardless of their origins or talents, she treats all her students equally, and she dedicates the magical knowledge left by herself, Gryffindor, Ravenclaw, and Slytherin to all young wizards, teaching them to grow up and teach them how to behave in the world.

For the last ten years of his life, Hufflepuff stayed alone, running the school of magic with lofty convictions.

Her efforts have finally paid off, and more and more wizards have graduated from Hogwarts.

Most of these students were Muggle-borns and should have been burned alive as demons, but Hogwarts and Helga Hufflepuff saved them.

They gradually became the backbone of the wizarding world, changing the wizarding world dominated by pure-blood wizard families, and even changing the entire trajectory of magical history. (To be continued.) )
