Chapter 290: "Helga's Dungeon"

"Uh-huh...... Breakfast ......"

Elena rubbed her eyes, held the owl "pillow" on her chest in one hand, and sat up from the bed in a daze.

Although this is the second week after leaving the orphanage, Elena still habitually wakes up early, her little white feet are dangling by the bedside, pulling her shoes, and she is subconsciously ready to go to the kitchen to start cooking breakfast.

Without touching the imagined cold wooden floor, the soft carpet hair in the common room gently scratched the soles of the half-breed little girl's feet, warm but not hot, as if stepping on the afternoon meadow.

"Oh, I'm at Hogwarts now. ”

Elena yawned and muttered to herself, looking around sleepily.

It was still early in the morning, and it was still dark outside as you could see through the semicircular windows in the ceiling.

Dozens of soft four-poster beds are neatly arranged in the dormitory, and the warm light from the copper lamps sprinkles on the four-poster beds covered with patchwork sheets, and because the weather is not too cold, the copper bed warmer for people with cold feet at the end of the bed has not yet been activated.

Hannah in the next bed was still curled up with a pillow, her little face slightly red and talking vaguely dreaming, like a drunken koala, and people couldn't help but want to bite lightly on her face.

The Hufflepuff residence halls are considered to be the most comfortable places in the school, with a nature-friendly design and a warm, soundproof basement level that makes it easier for badgers to sleep than in towers (such as Gryffindor and Ravenclaw) or at the bottom of the lake (Slytherin).

Elena hesitated for a moment, but finally couldn't bear to disturb Hannah's rare dream, and crept through the circular passage with the reserve in her arms, and into the empty common room, which in another hour or two would become the liveliest and most crowded place in all of Hogwarts.

The Hufflepuff common room has a low ceiling, and the swaying grass and dandelions can be seen from the round windows above, and the enchanted windows ensure that no matter what the weather outside, the sun will always arrive in the basement on time at 8 a.m. every morning, bathing the entire common room in a warm and comfortable morning light.

On the windowsill are three or four pots of interesting plants, most of which were brought by the dean, Professor Pomona Sprout.

However, there were also some of the Hufflepuff students who had planted their own plants, such as the "Lily" that Elena had received from her herb class, which was now placed on the edge of the ledge in the middle.

In the center of the common room is a large honey-colored wooden mantelpiece, next to which are four or five baking forks, and the fireplace is carved with the image of a badger. Above the fireplace hangs a portrait of the Academy's founder, Helga Hufflepuff – sadly, the Hufflepuff lady in the painting has no other movement or conversation than holding a golden cup and smiling and in a daze.

On the small round table in front of the fireplace, a few open books were scattered around, as if time had stopped last night when Elena and Hannah yawned and pondered how to make up bluffing history.

Elena bent down, packed up the books she had borrowed from the library, stood up, and subconsciously pressed the envelope in the pocket of her robe, folding the thick parchment in all directions to give a reassuring feeling.

After a night of hard work, she finally wrote an anonymous notice that was carefully worded, threatening and seductive.

The only problem now is that she can't act too urgent.

Like the seasoned hunters in the mountains, Elena waits patiently for the first reply from the Lovegood family, and then destroys their unrealistic ideas little by little, but keeps giving them new hope.

Only in this way can she inadvertently show them the only one, the path to the right ending.

Elena tapped her fingers thoughtfully on the yellow and black armchair—preferably to convince Mr. Lovegood that it was his own choice—after all, she was going to be good friends with Luna.

But in this way, in a short period of time, she seems to have nothing to do for the time being.

"Why don't you take this opportunity to explore the Hufflepuff common room?"

Elena looked up at the circular passageways around the common room, her gaze hesitant.

"Hogwarts, A School History" not only records historical events, in fact, the common rooms of each house are mentioned to varying degrees, and as the house that has produced the most graduates, the information about the Hufflepuff common room is naturally the most comprehensive.

Just as Ravenclaw and Gryffindor have their own towers, the Hufflepuff common room can't be confined to the basement level.

In fact, the Hufflepuff common room is a complex area that extends downwards like a plant structure. As little badgers who are closer to nature than any other academy, it seems that they really have the same intuition as badgers, and most of them have a soft spot for cave research and exploration.

Elena is now located in the main living room of the Hufflepuff common room, which has a total of five circular passages, one of which is a barrel doorway that connects to the basement level of the castle, the other two lead to the boys' and girls' dormitories, and the last two lead to the underground area located one level lower.

The underground area is not completely dark, and the fireflies born of flames are scattered like stars in each underground cavern, illuminating the path of the young wizards with warm and comfortable points of light.

The magically transformed underground area is very large, and countless intricate underground passages form a vegetation system that almost covers all seasons and regional environments. Legend has it that wild tropical vegetation and parasitic vegetation, as well as wild plants in the snowy mountains and cold regions, can find a corresponding growth environment in the Hufflepuff underground area.

Near each of these areas there are terraces and stations set up by professors or students for collecting and researching, and there are even plants with high magic power that only open during certain seasons, which are distributed in different vegetation areas.

Older Hufflepuff students prefer to refer to the underground area as "Helga's Dungeon", as the more you dig down, the more rare plants you will find, but that also means more danger.

Unfortunately, since 1623, when two fifth-year Hufflepuff students came across a wild pimple vine and nearly threatened their lives, the school blocked all underground passages to the lower levels.

Since then, no one knows how many wonderful worlds and plants are hidden at the bottom of Hogwarts Castle, and the lowest place that students can reach, that is, the underground ice cave used to freeze food and plants - this is also the area that Elena wants to reach the most, the collective refrigerator of the Foodie Academy, just thinking about it is no less than heaven.

Merely......

A certain white-haired balloon frowned, looking at the two holes leading to the underground area not far away.

She is still a little self-aware of her slightly weak sense of direction, and if she rushes into wandering around, she may not know where she will run to in the end. Although theoretically, as long as she brings kitchen utensils, the underground area with rich vegetation resources will not let her starve to death.

But, at the same time, she couldn't break out alone.

Staring at the entrance of the "Helga's Dungeon" with a tangled face, Elena swallowed her saliva, clenched her small fist and shook it vigorously, holding back the desire in her heart to look away - decided, after forming your own team of adventurers, you must enter the greenhouse area below to forage for food, well, exploration activities.

The greatest attraction of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry is that there are always countless unknown secrets to explore and develop.

Thinking of this, Elena was instantly full of energy again.

But, no matter what, until then, the stomach still has to be filled.

So, today's breakfast seems to be only ......

Elena looked up thoughtfully and licked her lips, exuding a dangerous aura.
