Chapter 572: Exploring the Kitchen at Night

"What are you doing here?"

Van Lin lowered his head and looked like he was being trained honestly.

In fact, he still underestimated the girl's sensitivity, and he was caught by Hermione before he had just taken two steps, so such an operation was naturally a failure.

What should I do, he is also desperate......

"Go back, I'm still caught wandering in the middle of the night......"

"I know you want to visit those house-elves in the kitchen. Van Lin said seriously, "I'm going to go with you." ”

In fact, Van Lin didn't think there was anything wrong with what Hermione had done.

He also felt that the house-elves were very pitiful.

They've all been there, but they've only stayed in the kitchen.

Because it's so embarrassing to get into the kitchen.

This is the experience of every Hogwarts wizard.

In the middle of the night, when I was hungry, I slipped into the kitchen to find something to eat.

As soon as you enter, a crowd of house-elves no taller than your knees will surround you and ask you what you want to eat.

Before you could speak, the house-elf door moved.

I was going to pick up pies and biscuits or something, but thanks to these house-elves, you'll be lucky enough to have an exclusive dinner at Hogwarts.

If you ask, even in the middle of the night, these house-elves will roast a whole cow for you.

Even though it's the middle of the night, these house-elves never know what it means to complain, or rather, they just ask you what you need in a high-pitched voice.

The food is not to the taste, and the food is not full.

If someone frowns slightly, then they will definitely prostrate themselves in fear and beg for your forgiveness.

This is undoubtedly very sad.

Since Van Lin took Dobby in, Van Lin has directly summoned Dobby to bring him whatever he wants to eat at night.

Of course, he would pay Dobby, and even then, he didn't dare let Hermione know.

If you know, a condemnation is naturally unavoidable.

Hermione was too sensitive in dealing with the parent's elves, and Van Lin was afraid that Hermione would do something drastic.

For example, teach these house-elves to ask for wages, or give them freedom?

This is undoubtedly a devastating disaster for house-elves.

There was no doubt that Hermione would be embarrassed.

Van Lin wasn't worried about what these house-elves would do.

Not every house-elf is Dobby.

However, for the neurotic behavior of house-elves, Van Lin still has a deep understanding of it.

To be exact, all of them paid the price.

In the second grade, Dobby almost killed the four of them.

This is a bit too sensational, and if the Ministry of Magic knew about it, Dobby's fate would be inevitable.

Neither the Malfoys, nor Voldemort's forces, nor the Ministry of Magic nor Hogwarts would allow house-elves to behave in this way.

This is a provocation to the authority of the wizards who have enslaved them for a hundred years, and execution is Dobby's only option.

"Slow down......" Van Lin took Hermione's arm with one hand.

The road here is not easy.

The house-elf's kitchen is in the basement, right below the Hufflepuff common room, so to speak.

Two men entered the basement, turned a corner, and entered a passage on the right.

It doesn't look like people come here very often.

The air was slightly cloudy, mixed with the aroma of food, perhaps because of its proximity to the kitchen, but from afar, Van Lin could feel the smell of his favorite apple pie......

This is probably an illusion, which was not the case the last time I came, but perhaps because the time was too far away, Fan Lin couldn't remember it clearly.

As soon as you come out of the passage, there is a clean stone corridor.

It's the way to the kitchen, and the house-elves always try to wipe it down, and of course, it's even better if they can wash their own clothes.

However, this is also unlikely.

The importance of clothes is higher than anything else, and this is deeply understood by Dobby.

No matter what new clothes Dobby had, Dobby's sock that Harry had given Dobby was wearing on his feet.

Van Lin had to use the majesty of his master to coerce Dobby to wash all his clothes, and after making sure that he had no intention of expelling Dobby, Dobby reluctantly washed his clothes.

The torches burned on the two sections of the stone wall, which reflected the warmth and harmony of the stone wall in front of it.

Patterns of food replace the dark style of Hogwarts.

It can be said that this is the place where the most intense Hufflepuff colors have been preserved.

Speaking of Hufflepuff, it is hard for Van Lin to imagine how Hufflepuff himself would have supported the later Hogwarts operation.

After Gryffindor, Slytherin, and Ravenclaw were gone, Hufflepuff almost single-handedly supported Hogwarts on his own.

A woman who befriends a house elf, a woman who loves food, and a witch who defines tolerance.

A woman with such a character must have a tenacity and selflessness that Fan Lin cannot imagine.

What Hufflepuff left behind was nothing more than a golden cup.

Compared to the legacy of the other four, Hufflepuff is the one who really integrates everything he has into the Hogwarts school.

It can be said that she is the real benefactor of Hogwarts.

Every part of Hogwarts has left traces of Hufflepuff, and if Hufflepuff had done so, it might not be difficult to accept that Hogwarts would have been changed to Hufflepuff School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.

Slytherin quit the school, and Gryffindor never asked about the school, and Ravenclaw Van Lin didn't know much about it, but it was conceivable that Ravenclaw wouldn't take care of such trivial matters.

You can see it from the library left behind by Ravenclaw.

Now, it seems, only Hufflepuff has left nothing strongly to take away the personal color.

Or is this house-elf kitchen the best proof of this?

It is undeniable that Hogwarts cannot function without the devotion of house-elves, however, the vast majority of Hogwarts wizards look like they don't care.

Something had to be done for the house-elves.

"Are you ready?" said Van Lin slowly, and they were at the door of the kitchen, behind the mural.

Hermione nodded slightly, for some reason, Van Lin felt a little tangled, but he still reached out his hand.
