Chapter 272: Flicker, flicker

"I," Hearing Draco's words, William, who had been gushing about Andros's life, was speechless.

He looked to the side, and Pansy looked at William with longing, needless to say, the little witch also wanted to learn the magical spell of the Patronus Charm, and also wanted to see what kind of animal her Patronus would be.

He couldn't tell Draco and Pansy that he wasn't going to use the spell yet, and he'd been practicing it for so long.

In that case, the unfathomable image of themselves in their hearts will crumble.

"This spell is very complicated, and it requires a lot of magic skills to be able to cast it, and it is an emotional spell casting skill that you have not yet mastered, so I will hand it over to you later." William turned on his own flickering mode.

After saying this, he walked forward, leaving the two of them with an unfathomable back.

After a few moments, they had reached the fruit portrait in front of the kitchen door in the basement, which was actually a secret door to the kitchen, and they only needed to scratch the big pear on it.

Very Hufflepuff one of the designs.

"And William, what does your Patronus look like?" The undying Draco continued to ask William, looking like a curious baby who wanted to know everything.

"Well, ahem, you'll find out later. Alright, let's go get something to eat, I'm dying of hunger. William stiffly changed the subject.

At the same time, with William's unremitting efforts, the big pear that was laughing finally became a doorknob, which was the door to the kitchen.

"No matter how many times I come, I sincerely admire the wisdom of the designer of this secret door." Noticing Pansy's mouth wide open next to her, William explained with a smile on her face.

"I've read in Hogwarts: A History of the School that this portrait of fruit is still Hufflepuff's, almost a thousand years ago. Are you in the kitchen for the first time, Pansy? ”

"Well, I've only heard of this place before, but never really gone in."

The girl nodded, and although the Slytherin common room was underground, she had never entered the Hogwarts kitchen before.

It seems that all parents who have graduated from Hogwarts are reluctant to tell their children about the secrets of Hogwarts Castle, and they seem to prefer to let their children explore the castle on their own, discovering the secret passages and various secret doors to enter the magical rooms.

Even for the sorting ceremony, parents were reluctant to inform their children in advance, and the young wizards in the first year almost only learned about the sorting process at Hogwarts when they arrived at the Great Hall.

It has to be said that this is a very successful education, and it greatly preserves the children's curiosity and spirit of exploration.

"Alright, let's go inside, I'm dying of hunger, let's get some food and go upstairs." William waved his hand, then turned the handle to open the secret door to the kitchen.

The kitchen at Hogwarts was still the same as it had been for years, surrounded by glittering copper pots and basins stacked around the enclosed stone walls, and a large brick fireplace directly opposite the room.

The kitchen was about the size of the Great Hall overhead, it had a high, unscientific but magical ceiling, and there were four long tables, identical to those of the four academies in the Great Hall.

This is a Hufflepuff magic designed by Hufflepuff himself, and the food made in the kitchen is magically teleported to the corresponding plates in the Great Hall.

However, when William and the others entered, it was empty, because dinner had not yet begun, and of course there were empty plates.

"I don't know how you found out!" Pansy's mouth puffed slightly, and her face flushed with excitement from the overshock, which made her look even more cute.

"Cool!!" Draco couldn't suppress the surprise in his heart, and to be honest, his act of holding back his voice from screaming was a bit ridiculous.

William thought he'd been here many times!

Unexpectedly, like Pansy, he came to the Hogwarts kitchen for the first time.

"Sir, is there anything that can help you?"

"Ma'am, it's a pleasure to serve you." 、

"What do you need to eat, we've just made a batch of pork pies."

"Don't you? Would you like some freshly baked cakes? ”

Before Draco and Pansy could come to their senses, they were surrounded by enthusiastic house-elves, in fact, the little things working in the kitchen were alarmed by William and the others as soon as they arrived.

"Give us whatever you want, fresh, hot, with a little meat and vegetables." William looked like a man from the past, and said his request to the elves succinctly and clearly.

He had visited the place as early as the first grade, and now he can be said to be completely familiar with ordering food.

"You don't need to take too much, it's enough for the three of us to eat." After saying the previous sentence, William hurriedly added.

If you don't add that, these overzealous guys will definitely take half the food from the kitchen.

"I never knew there were so many house-elves living underground at Hogwarts!" Draco and Pansy looked at each other in disbelief for a long time before they gradually came to their senses.

"yes, what a bunch of enthusiastic little things." While waiting for the meal, William pulled a chair at random

"I did take a big jump when I first found out about it, considering that even in my house there are only a few house-elves."

"It's the same in our family." Hearing William's words, Pansy and Draco nodded repeatedly, they both came from aristocratic families, and house-elves were not too rare for them, they were just very surprised by the number of elves.

"How did you find out about such a hidden place, William? Have you bribed a Hufflepuff who loves food? Pansy asked, curiously.

"Of course not, I found it myself, actually, I discovered this place as early as a year old, and at that time I was obsessed with exploring the secrets of the castle, so I discovered many secret passages and secret doors, and this is one of them." Immediately afterward, William briefly recounted how he discovered this place.

Hearing William's explanation, the tsundere Draco suddenly stopped.

"I said I couldn't find you in the auditorium when I was in first grade! It turns out that I secretly ran here to eat alone, William! Why didn't you tell us about this place sooner? ”
