"Quasi-...... Preparing the ingredients?"

Hearing Elena's words, most of the students in the common room looked at each other, a look of confusion on their faces.

However, first-year freshmen like Hannah Abbott behaved much calmer, nodded mostly understandingly, and watched Elena expectantly wait for the next arrangement of the eldest sister.

"Of course, you don't think you're just eating regular herring from the market, do you?"

Elena had a strange look on her face, and her fingers ran over herself, Hannah, and some of the Hufflepuff first-year freshmen present, and said with a slight exaggeration, "That's a mutant fish that all the first-year training sequences have wasted a lot of effort to catch from the icy black lake." ”

Looking around at the little wizards licking their wands by the fireplace, the silver-haired little Lori spread her hands.

"As Hufflepuff seniors, it's not like we're always coming to rob us weak and poor first-graders of the fruits of our labor. ”

Although Hagrid was the main fisherman, every first-year student was involved in the subsequent food processing.

In order to cultivate the minds of the first-year wizards, Elena personally supervised that everyone had to take a knife to make up a few knives on the mutant fish, and as for the work of descaling and peeling the fish, the entire first-year class was simply broken up and divided into several groups, each responsible for the fish they were going to eat at night.

Elena and Hagrid were surprised to find that for some reason, most of the best performers in each group were girls.

Most of the little witches quickly calmed down after a brief panic, and followed Elena's demonstration to make precise and ruthless swords, but there were many children among the boys who cried the whole time - of course, after eating the delicious grilled fish, their eyes became much more determined.

According to Elena's estimate, maybe the next time she kills a fish, everyone will happily take the initiative to pick up the knife and participate in the group activity, of course, there is no need to share these specific details with the senior students.

"The mutant fish in the Black Lake? I see, no wonder the taste and texture are so different. ”

Cedric smacked his lips, as if to reminisce about the feast on the tip of his tongue.

When you think about it, the cold smell of the fish is indeed very similar to the smell of the lake outside Hogwarts Castle. Thinking of this, Cedric couldn't help but feel a little annoyed, he had eaten so fast just now that he couldn't properly taste the deliciousness of this rare fish.

Just when the young Diggory was still annoyed, a gentle female voice came out of the crowd.

"In other words, in fact, you only need to go to the lake and find a way to catch a few more of these mutant fish, Elena, will you help you take care of it?"

The crowd turned to speak, and it was Darth Shanna, a sixth-year Hufflepuff girl. Seeing that everyone was turning their heads to look at her, the tall Shanna shrugged her shoulders and said with a look of course, "Frankly speaking, after yesterday's simple and hard meals, I think we really need to find a way to improve our food. ”

There is no doubt that Dumbledore was ruthless this time in order to preserve the huge fortune that would be enough to squander Hogwarts for at least hundreds of years, and to ensure that the wizarding world could be invincible in this game.

The school has implemented a strict austerity policy in all aspects, except for the lunch mixed by the first-year students, even the dinner is not much better, and the main food components are mashed potatoes, cabbage, and bacon, which makes the old students who are used to eating hearty meals still slightly dissatisfied in private.

"But Shanna, if you really want to go into the Black Lake to fish, the only suitable time is to rest at noon and in the afternoon. ”

Cedric interrupted with a frown, "In that case, there's a good chance we'll be bumped into by the Slytherins who live at the bottom of the lake, and then everyone will probably be laughed at again, right?"

The relationship between the four Hogwarts houses is actually not complicated, to use Dumbledore's classic phrase "Stupid! Blubber! Oddment! Teak!)", in fact, it is four chains of contempt.

(Click here for more explanations, and some of them are detailed in the work-related [HP Homo Rumor Refutation Evidence])

"Well, Diggory, you're right, Slytherin is indeed a problem. ”

Shanna touched her lips in some distress, her concern was not so much about being ridiculed, but as the only house to live at the bottom of the lake, Slytherin's xenophobia was the worst of the four, "Actually, I'm more worried that they won't allow us to do this." ”

As the older students mentioned Slytherin, the atmosphere in the common room suddenly began to become unpleasant.

Although on the surface, the hostility between Gryffindor and Slytherin is the most obvious, but there are not many opportunities for the two houses to meet, which can be seen from the first-year curriculum - apart from Potions and Flying lessons, Slytherin and Gryffindor have no overlapping classes.

(For the detailed class schedule, please refer to the relevant work [Grade 1 Curriculum Deduction])

Therefore, in all of Hogwarts, the most dealings with Slytherin House are actually poor Hufflepuff badgers.

Whether it's the distribution of common rooms on the same floor, the overlap of nearly half or so of classes, or the natural arrogance of the pure-blood family towards the civilian grassroots (frankly, there are not a few pure-blood families in Gryffindor), there is hardly a Hufflepuff student who has not been bullied by the Slytherin snakes next door.

The thought of the need to deal with Slytherin House made the faces of the older students look a little unpleasant.

Glancing at the Hufflepuff common room, which had suddenly become gloomy, Elena frowned, she finally knew why Hufflepuff hadn't won the House Cup for decades, obviously because the atmosphere in the house was wrong.

This is not possible, she is still counting on mobilizing the power of the masses (senior thugs) to help her with a steady stream of some not so easy ingredients.

"Wait......"

The silver-haired witch rolled her eyes, pressed her finger to her lips, and asked with some curiosity, "But the portrait of Headmaster Philippa Spole in Professor Dumbledore's office tells me that Slytherin House is actually at the bottom of the entire Hogwarts food chain, to be precise?"

Professor Dumbledore, Headmaster Philida Spole, Slytherin at the very bottom, glorious Hufflepuff House?

The girl's voice wasn't too loud, but the few key words revealed in just a few words were enough to draw everyone's attention back to her.

However, perhaps because of the fact that the two principals were involved at the same time, and the information revealed was so unbelievable, there was an eerie silence in the Hufflepuff common room.

“......”

Actually, it's cold?!

Elena, who maintained an innocent expression, felt that her smile began to stiffen a little, and the corner of her eyes slowly swept over the crowd in front of her, and she suddenly felt as if there were a group of groundhogs in front of her who couldn't speak, all of them looked at her with their mouths open stupidly and curiously, waiting for someone to take the initiative to ask questions.

- The Hufflepuffs are so hard to deal with, and if you were in the same situation, Ravenclaw, Gryffindor, or even Slytherin, there would have been enthusiastic little wizards who would have taken the initiative to answer.

Fortunately, just when she was about to break the jar and change to a strong character, Hannah Abbot, who was most familiar with her, looked left and right, plucked up the courage to ask in a low voice.

"Who is Headmaster Felida Spoh, and why does she say that, are we Hufflepuffs really ever glorious, Elena?"

For the first time in her long history at Hogwarts, Elena felt a heartfelt emotion and relief when she heard Hannah's voice, and it was not in vain that she had fed her and clothed her before.

Elena secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and was not in the mood to sell off, so she cleared her throat and hurried to Hannah's little Lori's words.

"Of course, as we all know......"
