Chapter 124: The Darkest Corner
"Brother, are you sure we can really ask something?" Ron looked out the window at the night with some fear, Hogwarts had imposed a curfew, everyone was forbidden to appear in the corridors of Hogwarts after dark, and if they were discovered, that person would definitely be sent home.

So, the four of them had to wait until everyone had fallen asleep before coming out, using Harry's cloak of invisibility to prevent Filch from spotting them!
"Please, Ron, can you be careful, you've stepped on my foot!" Hermione whispered discontentedly.
At this time, Hogwarts Castle was silent, except for the crackling sound of flames burning wood chips.
"I'm sorry!" Ron whispered, then closed his mouth.
"No way, it's too crowded for four people to share an invisibility cloak, I have to think about going back and learning the illusion spell by heart!" Van Lin said helplessly, and Hermione quickly said that she also wanted to be with Van Lin, very Harry squeezed the invisibility cloak or something, maybe it won't be possible next year, after all, they are still growing.
"But do the house-elves at school really know anything?" Hermione was a little unsure, and with Dobby's foresight, she wasn't too optimistic about the violation.
"Actually, I'm not sure......" Van Lin was a little unsure of the thoughts of these house-elves.
Hogwarts has the most wizards in all wizarding worlds (except China). This refers to Europe and the United States!) One of the most powerful forces, the application of house-elves is naturally indispensable.
And the house-elf has a long lifespan, provided that no one harms him. Moreover, the magic of house-elves can pass through many magical enchantments without being detected.
Well, there must be elves at Hogwarts who know about Slygerin's Chamber of Secrets.
Fifty years ago, according to the timeline, it happened to be Voldemort's time, Voldemort's student days.
Van Lin was looking forward to having one of the house-elves tell him about the Chamber of Secrets, and even with Voldemort.
Passing through the doorway of Hufflepuff's public room, the four of Van Lin swirled down the stairs.
Helga Hufflepuff, who hails from the open valley, is particularly known for her ability to spell food-related spells. Many of the traditional dishes at Hogwarts feasts originated in Hufflepuff.
Of course, the kitchen at Hogwarts was just below the Hufflepuff common room, in a dark place that was out of reach of the sun.
Some say it's the darkest corner of Hogwarts, where a bunch of dirty and insulting magical stuff stays.
This ancient phrase comes from an English wizarding aristocratic family, who graduated from Slyerjlin.
Of course, despite his words, no one proposed to clear the area.
In fact, the Hogwarts kitchen, which is also the gathering place of Hogwarts house-elves.
It is undoubtedly the most wonderful place for house-elves in the wizarding world, and it can even be said that it is the dream home of house-elves.
The founder, Helga Hefpuff, was a kind, simple, loyal and patient woman.
She didn't have the beauty and wisdom of Rowena Ravenclaw, but as the founder, she was also the first and greatest Headmaster of Hogwarts.
After the other three left the school, Helga Hufflepuff worked tirelessly to make Hogwarts the most comfortable magical sanctuary of its time!
She built public facilities, as most of the first students were persecuted by the Holy See or gifted Muggles, which kept the initial financial chain broken.
Helga Hufflepuff sold his family's fortune and devoted all his efforts to building this majestic castle.
It can be said that without Helga Hufflepuff, what would Hogwarts be like today, perhaps Hogwarts would no longer exist.
Even if the wizarding world loses its last power, and then it just falls, it doesn't happen.
At the same time, Helga Hefpuff also recruited many house-elves who were persecuted by noble families, and these elves also contributed to the establishment of Hogwarts.
So, at Hogwarts, only on Hufflepuff's side did the life of the house-elves not be so miserable, and although they were in this cold underground kitchen all day long, at least their lives could be saved.
Perhaps, this is the greatest gift from heaven for the current house-elves!
"Alohomora!"
Van Lin used his wand to push through the door in the image of a black badger, and the door let out a heavy groan, as if it had fallen into disrepair, and a cloud of dust scattered from the door.
A door that hasn't been opened for a long time, wizards won't come here, who would want to come into contact with these house-elves.
"Van Lin, why don't there be lights here? Doesn't it mean that all the house-elves live here?" Hermione cautiously looked at the doorway in front of her, and the smell of food mixed with the smell of oil smoke wafted out of the doorway, just like a restaurant in the Muggle world, although the food smelled good, but if you came to the kitchen, you were guaranteed to feel very uncomfortable!
"Maybe they're all asleep!" Van Lin whispered, not quite sure what to do if the elves didn't live here.
"Anyway, it's uncomfortable here!" Ron pinched his nose, "like moldy cabbage!"
"Okay Ron, know that we eat all of our food from here, and if you don't want to go hungry in the future, don't give your opinion on any of this. Hermione was a little dissatisfied with Ron's words, it was disrespectful, in Hermione's opinion!
"Let's go inside!" Van Lin lifted his cloak of invisibility, it was safe here, Filch wouldn't come.
As you can tell from the dust falling from the door, this is a place that is not accessible to the living.
"Get your wand ready!" Van Lin pulled out his wand, his wand glowing a pale blue glow from the agitation of the magic power, which was very beautiful.
Lumos (fluorescent scintillation) ......"
The three of them shouted the spell in unison, and Ron tried to cast the spell, but Harry stopped him, and Harry didn't want Ron to blow them up.
The glowing blue light lit up the cold darkness for a moment, but the scene in front of them made the four little wizards keep their mouths shut.
