"Yes, Shanna is right. ”

After Darth Shanna took the initiative to break the silence, Cedric, who was slightly gloomy, quickly organized his words.

The next Hufflepuff prefect looked at the silver-haired witch in front of the fireplace and asked, "Why should we, like those reckless lions, fight back to provoke and expand disputes, knowing that there may be conflicts?" Have you ever thought that your friends might be hurt for the sake of short-term vanity and gratification?"

After a pause, as if he felt that his previous tone was a little too fierce, Cedric's expression softened a little, and he persuaded in a serious tone.

"Elena, you're still very young, and there may be a lot of things that are important to you now, but in hindsight it's not a big deal. You must know that many contradictions are actually as long as one party takes the initiative to back down, and usually the wind and waves will pass peacefully. ”

Facing Cedric, who patiently explained with a passer-over expression, Elena couldn't help but raise her eyebrows and let out a noncommittal laugh.

"Yes, yes. We backed down when Slytherin mocked our lineage, and endured when Gryffindor mocked us for being a wreck. When Ravenclaw despised us for being stupid, we accepted it silently...... Of course, Diggory Senior. I guess what you said comes from our long-standing friendliness and gentleness, right?"

After a pause, although the silver-haired little witch still had a smile on her face, there was no smile in her tone, "After all...... If you want to continue the tradition, you need every Hufflepuff to learn and get used to giving in and being patient. ”

"I didn't mean that......" Cedric frowned, the first time he found it so difficult to communicate with a freshman.

"Uh-huh, I see. ”

Seeing that the topic was about to begin to move towards meaningless arguments, the girl shrugged her shoulders and took the initiative to end the discussion.

"Let's go, Hannah, didn't you promise to show me to the school?"

Squatting down and carefully putting away the oily paper used to wrap the fish, Elena looked back at Hannah Abbott, who had finished cleaning up and holding a small reserve of food in her hand, beckoned, and turned to walk out of the common room.

......

On the basement level of Hogwarts, there is a three-way intersection with marble floors.

"Hannah, are you sure we're not going in the wrong direction?"

To be honest, even without a moving staircase, Hogwarts' intricate underground passageways weren't friendly to her.

Elena looked behind her, and she was beginning to lose track of how she had made her way through the labyrinthine underground stone corridor from the Hufflepuff common room.

The two were accompanied by several other early Hufflepuff first-year freshmen, two men and one girl, Justin Finchlerie, Ernie McMillan, and Hannah's new best friend, Susan Bones.

"Don't worry, we've all walked this road several times. Hannah, who was at the front, replied without thinking.

"According to the seniors, if you go any further on, you will have an empty, wet stone wall, and behind the stone wall is the common room of Slytherin House. ”

As if glad to have the opportunity to encounter an unfamiliar territory for Elena, Hannah was much more excited than usual, turned sideways and pointed to the marble steps on her right.

"And this is the way to the upper level of Hogwarts Castle, whether it's Hufflepuff or Slytherin, you have to pass through here to get to class. That's why some of the older Hufflepuffs dubbed the "Upwind Trail". ”

With a slight shudder, Hannah calmed down, spun around in place, and walked briskly as she led the group to the left passage to the Great Hall.

"Luckily, though, most of those Slytherins like to sleep in. So we won't meet Slater at this time—"

Hannah's cheerful voice came to an abrupt halt as she entered the Upwind Trail, turning into a somewhat strange ho-ho.

Immediately following Hannah into the [Upwind Trail], Elena and the others quickly knew why.

In the middle of the road stood two tall Slytherin seniors, who were holding their arms in front of Hannah with their arms crossed and playfully in front of them.

"Sure enough, Bol, you're right, the Hufflepuffs can't wait to get up early and sneak to the auditorium for breakfast. The older Slytherin on the left, with short brown hair, crossed his arms and spoke sarcastically.

"Heh~ Draco, don't waste time. ”

The boy named Pol yawned and interrupted impatiently, looking up and down at the little silver-haired witch standing behind Hannah.

"Hey, you're the first-year student named Elena Kaslana. I heard that yesterday you took the first grade to steal the turkey from the kitchen that was supposed to belong to our third grade?"

Although it was an inquiry, the boy's tone was very firm.

After all, Elena's bright silver hair is really eye-catching, not to mention the deep impression left on the teachers and students of the school at the previous sorting ceremony, which is expected to be unforgettable for several years.

The third-grade turkey looks like he's here to find fault.

Elena's pupils shrank slightly, and she glanced casually behind the two of them, and a hint of clarity flashed in her eyes.

There, too, stood a cowering Slytherin first-year, whose name the girl vaguely remembered as Blaise Shabini.

"We're not rice buckets, and we're not stealing either! That's a secret easter egg left by Professor Dumbledore, specifically to reward students for their courage and ability to think outside the box. ”

Hearing Pol's words, Justin Fenriel retorted as if he had been bitten by a snake.

Susan, Ernie and others on the side also showed the same unconvinced look on their faces.

Only Hannah, who had been to the principal's office, turned slightly pale, subconsciously shrank back, and turned her head to look at Elena uneasily.

"The school has taken care of this matter. If you are interested, you can ask Professor Dumbledore for details. ”

Elena replied calmly, neither humble nor arrogant, selectively ignoring the trash talk of the two Slytherins.

"Now, could you please let the two seniors make us, we're going to the auditorium for breakfast. ”

"Don't scare Dumbledore, we're not as scared of that old guy as you good babies. ”

Derek waved his hand rudely, crossed his arms and looked at the small wizards in front of him with a proud expression, and threatened fiercely.

"I don't care about Easter eggs or Easter eggs. Listen, freshman, you have to give us a satisfactory explanation. ”

As he spoke, Derek reached out and grabbed Elena.
