Next to the foyer of Hogwarts Castle, the school auditorium.

This is the school's main meeting place, and students inevitably come to the auditorium every morning to eat and receive mail and packages from owls.

The four long tables belong from left to right, belonging to Gryffindor, Ravenclaw, Slytherin, and Hufflepuff houses.

It was already meal time, and the long tables on the right side of the auditorium were already filled with students, compared to the long tables in Hufflepuff and Slytherin on the left side of the auditorium.

You know, as the two closest houses to the Great Hall, such a breakfast absence rate may also be the first time in nearly a thousand years that Hogwarts has appeared.

"Did you hear that? Slytherin and Hufflepuff House had a sudden fight this morning. ”

"Yes, it is said that hundreds of people from both academies participated in this group fight, and all the professors rushed over, and you can see that the faculty chairs are still empty. ”

"Slytherin is too much, the good guys in Hufflepuff must be at a loss, and if it were our Gryffindor, it wouldn't make them any better. ”

"No, the rumor I heard said that it was Hufflepuff who had killed all the way and blocked all the Slytherins in the common room, leaving not a single one alive. ”

"Nonsense, turn your head and look, isn't there a student sitting at the table over there? I've heard that Hufflepuffs banded together to ambush a Bosleytin in front of the common room, blowing them up. ”

"Hey, do you know why? I heard that there was an older senior on the Slytherin team who had a crush on the freshman named Elena, confessed his failure, and was about to use it in anger, but was bumped into by Cedric, who also had a crush on Elena, and the two houses fought. ”

"No, I heard that it was because Slytherin wanted to rob the school cafeteria and was discovered by the Hufflepuff first-year, and the two sides fought after their deeds were revealed. ”

"You're not right, it's actually Cedric and Marcus who brought the Quidditch teams of the two houses to a private brawl, which accidentally led to a big fight. Look, the professors will disqualify both of their houses from Quidditch in a moment. ”

“......”

In the auditorium, the students of Ravenclaw and Gryffindor House whispered excitedly and curiously.

Each version is slightly different, but the general framework is pretty much the same - Hufflepuff and Slytherin got into a group fight for some reason, and the Slytherin side clearly lost the battle in the end.

This alone is enough to be a conversation point that the students of the other two faculties can happily talk about each other.

Boom.

The stone door to the right side of the auditorium was pushed open.

I saw a large group of Hufflepuff students walking through the stone door, laughing and laughing into the auditorium, occasionally waving and smiling at the students at the other tables, without experiencing any large-scale brawls.

In addition to being more energetic and sunny than before, his face was as gentle and friendly as before.

However, if you look closely, you can find that there is a slight change in the eyes of many people, like a flame hidden under the surface of the water, shining.

It wasn't until all the Hufflepuff students had sat down that it was about a minute or two before the young wizards of Slytherin wearing the silver-green emblem appeared behind the stone door.

Compared to the Hufflepuffs, who had a relaxed and pleasant atmosphere, the Slytherins who entered the Great Hall were obviously much more silent, contrary to the previous arrogance, and their faces were not too good, as if they had just been severely reprimanded. But from the outside, it doesn't look like he's been hurt in any way.

As the two houses entered the auditorium, the chatter around the long table between Gryffindor and Ravenclaw couldn't help but be lowered, and they watched nervously as the students of the two houses next door reacted. Many people noticed that at least one-third to one-quarter of the seats on the long tables of the two houses were vacant, and the part of the people who were obviously absent was most likely the legendary "fallen in battle".

"You, don't rejoice too soon. Next time......"

At the edge of the Slytherin table, a first-year boy who had been sitting in the auditorium very early, looking at the dejected classmates around him, and the Hufflepuff table with a relaxed and harmonious atmosphere opposite, the uneasiness and fear in his heart grew bigger and bigger, and he couldn't help but stand up and say to the opposite table, "Next time, we Slytherin will definitely ......"

"Huh?"

Hearing the sound coming from the long table next to him, the Hufflepuff students, who were still talking and laughing, instantly fell silent, and turned to look at the Slytherin first-year boy who was talking, but did not speak.

The atmosphere was suddenly a little scary.

"Blaise, are you crazy? Sit down!"

Pansy Parkinson, who was sitting next to the boy, pulled Blaise Sabini back to his seat with a panicked expression, and said to the other side with some trepidation, "Sister Elena said that the misunderstanding is over. Everyone in the four houses is friends, and Hufflepuff will never refuse kindness. She even invited us to go to the Hufflepuff common room afterwards. ”

“......”

After a brief silence.

A ponytailed Hufflepuff girl took a closer look at Pansy, who had short hair, smiled, and nodded gently.

"Of course, you're right, Hufflepuff will always be the friendliest and hospitiest house. What's your name, lovely freshman. ”

"Well, Pansy, Pansy Parkinson, Slytherin 1st year. ”

"Hello, little Pansy, I'm Christian, Christian Goyet, Hufflepuff 5th Grade. ”

As the two of them talked, the atmosphere that had suddenly stagnated before eased again. The piercing edge that had haunted the Hufflepuff students gradually dissipated and became warm again.

Then, in the shocked gaze of the other two houses, the students of Slytherin House, who had once been arrogant, actually took this opportunity to take the initiative to introduce themselves to the Hufflepuffs they had once most disdain.

Even, it seems that as the topic gradually unfolds, the relationship between the students of the two houses even unexpectedly begins to take a strange hot state, which makes the students of Gryffindor and Ravenclaw, who thought they would see a big fight again, begin to doubt the veracity of the previous rumors.

"Ah, I remember you, you were in the first row of Hufflepuffs. At the time, I thought you were going to rush in, and a lot of people were terrified. My name is Felix Steiner, what about you?" a tall, lanky Slytherin boy stood up and patted the Hufflepuff boy with a few freckles on his face in front right.

The Hufflepuff boy was slightly startled at first, then laughed and spread his hands helplessly.

"My name is Alexandre Lowe. Haha, to be honest, we were all stunned at the time. You know, I've never been to your common room before, and I don't know how to rush to your door. I heard you can see fish in the lounge? Our Hufflepuff common room is the only place where you can't see the outside view. ”

"Of course, outside our common room is the bottom of the Black Lake, and it's not just the fish that are interesting in the Black Lake, but also amazing creatures like mermaids and big octopuses. Speaking of this, Steiner proudly straightened his chest and said seriously.

"Is there really a mermaid? is it pretty, is it really a beautiful woman with big breasts like the legend? Justin suddenly leaned over and asked excitedly.

"Big breasts? Maybe, I haven't looked closely at this. If you don't dislike beautiful women with a fish's face, you can look for them in the Black Lake when you have time. The Slytherin seniors glanced at Justin and Rovi, who looked expectant, and replied with a narrow expression.

He discovered that Hufflepuff was still the same gentle and friendly group of wizards, if they were friends.
