0008. Cedric's charisma

While Field and the badgers laughed together, Harry couldn't bother with the food on the table as he laughed with the Gryffindors. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info Roast beef, grilled chicken, pork chops, lamb chops, sausages, steaks, boiled potatoes, baked potatoes, potato chips, Yorkshire pudding, pea sprouts, carrots, gravy, ketchup, these are all things he likes to eat. Even though he was already hungry.
Harry looked at the Hufflepuff boy, the black-haired boy like him, and he was laughing indulgently with the Hufflepuff students at the table. This classmate he first met on the train, he was enthusiastic, erudite, and had an elegant temperament. He should be in the same house as himself, and in Harry's vision, they should become good friends who talk about everything, when the truth is that Field went to Hufflepuff, the most ordinary house in Hogwarts. It's said that it was an academy that idiots went to. "Even if you go to Ravenclaw. Harry felt unworthy for his friend.
The lively opening party continues, and Field, discussing the plot of "Seven Sea Thieves" with Justin next to him, sits opposite Ernie. Macmillan interjected a few sentences from time to time, and "Thieves of the Seven Seas" was serialized in both the Muggle and wizarding worlds at the same time, and became a talking point for the little badgers to get closer to each other.
As the feast drew to a close, Professor Dumbledore stood up again. The restaurant is also quiet. "Oh, now that everyone is full and drunk, I want to say a few more words to everyone. At the beginning of the semester, I would like to make a few points to note with you. ”
"First-year students are aware that the woods on campus are off-limits to students. Some of our old classmates should also remember this. ”
Dumbledore's glittering gaze swept toward the Weasley twins.
"Also, Mr. Filch, the administrator, wants me to remind everyone not to do magic in the hallways between classes.
"The Quidditch player review will take place in the second week of the term. If you are interested in joining the college team, please contact Mrs. Huo Qi.
"Finally, I must tell you that anyone who does not wish to suffer an accident, a painful and tragic death, please do not enter the corridor on the right side of the fourth floor. ”
The badgers listened attentively, and it was a Hufflepuff tradition to follow the rules.
Now, before everyone goes to bed, let's sing the school song together!" Dumbledore exclaimed. Harry noticed that the smiles of the other teachers seemed to freeze.
Dumbledore flicked his wand, and a long ribbon of gold flew out of it, twisting like a snake over the high dining table.
"Everyone chooses their favorite tune. Dumbledore said, "Ready, sing!"
So all the teachers and students sang loudly:
Hogwarts, Hogwarts, Hogwarts, Hogwarts,
Teach us knowledge,
Whether we are old people
Or a child who falls on his knee,
Our minds can accept some interesting things,
Because now our minds are empty,
Filled with air, dead flies and trivialities,
Teach us something valuable,
Give us back to us what we have forgotten,
As long as you do your best,
Leave the rest to ourselves,
We will study hard,
until it turns into dung.
Everyone sang the school song seven by one. Only the Weasley twin brothers continued to sing to the slow melody of the Funeral March. Dumbledore commanded the last few bars for both of them with his wand, and when they were finished, he applauded the loudest.
"Music," he said, rubbing his eyes, "more glamorous than anything we've done here! Let's go back to the dormitory. ”
Students from the other houses began to follow their prefects to the break, while the Hufflepuff first-year students followed Cedric, staying at the stop and waiting for the final departure.
Cedric was tall and handsome, and both first-year boys and girls unconsciously trusted this handsome prefect with a smile on his face.
I'm Prefect Cedric. Diggory, warmly welcome to Hufflepuff House. Our emblem is the badger, an animal that is often underestimated because it is calm until it is attacked, but when provoked, it can fight against animals much larger than itself, including wolves. The colors of our college are yellow and black, and the common room is located on the basement level, in the same hallway as the kitchen.
Well, now, there are a few things you should know about Hufflepuff House. First, let's deal with a long-standing rumor that we're the least intelligent college. This is wrong. Hufflepuff is a very humble house, but we have produced no fewer good witches and wizards than any other house, do we need proof? Look at Glogan Stamp, one of the most popular ministers in the Ministry of Magic for a long time, he is a Hufflepuff - like Ministers Edmythea Lufkin and Donald MacFeer. Then there's Newt Scamman, the world authority on Fantastic Beasts, Brigitte Willock, the famous 13th-century arithmetic soothsayer who was the first to discover the mysterious magic of the number 7, and not forgetting Hangis, who founded the wizarding village of Hogsmeade next to Hogwarts, and they're all Hufflepuffs.
So, as you can see, we have so many powerful, outstanding, brave witches and wizards, but just because we don't preach these things everywhere, we don't get the credit we deserve. Ravenclaws, how special, think that any outstanding achiever comes from their house, and I got into big trouble last year for dueling with a Lady who thought Bridget Willock was from their house instead of our Ravenclaw prefect, and I should have been put in a week's lockdown, but Professor Sprout only warned me and gave me a box of coconut ice cream.
Hufflepuffs are loyal and trustworthy, we never quarrel with others, but we are not easy to bully, like our badgers, we will protect ourselves, our friends and family from all who are against us, nothing can make us afraid.
Of course, Hufflepuff does lack in one area, we are the least dark wizard house in this school, and of course, you know, there are always villains in Slytherin, because they have never heard of fair play, and would rather use deception to avoid the hard work of the day. And even Gryffindor (our best house) has produced some cunning guys.
As he spoke, Cedric led the first-year students to the basement level.
Oh yes, the entrance to the common room is hidden in a pile of vats in the right corner of the kitchen hallway, and if you tap the bottom lid of the two large barrels in the middle of the second row in a 'Helga Hufflepuff' rhythm, the lids will automatically spin open, we are the only Hogwarts house with a rejection of infiltrator magic, and if you hit the wrong lid or the wrong rhythm, the trespassers will be doused with vinegar. [I'm not sure how to find and open it...... It's too complicated. 】
You'll often hear other houses boast about their security arrangements, but the Hufflepuff common rooms and dormitories haven't been seen by outsiders in over a thousand years. Like badgers, we know exactly how to hide – how to protect ourselves. Once you've opened the barrel and slowly made your way down the passageway, you'll arrive at the Hufflepuff common room.
Cedric shows the badgers how to enter the common room
It is a round, low-ceilinged room with a faint earthy fragrance, and it is always sunny, and through the round windows you can see the swaying grass and dandelions. There are many places with shiny bronze ornaments, and many plants that hang from the ceiling or are placed on the windowsills, and our director, Professor Pomona Sprout, teaches the herbology class, and she always brings the most interesting specimens (some of them dancing and talking) to decorate our rooms - which is one of the reasons why Hufflepuffs tend to be good at herbs. Our thick upholstered sofas and chairs are yellow and black, and when the round door on the wall opens to our dorm, copper lamps cast a warm light on our four-poster bed, all of which are color-blocked quilts, and if you feel cold, there are copper bed warmers hanging from the walls.
We have the friendliest ghost of all the houses: the Fat Friar. You'll easily recognize him, he's chubby, dressed in monk's robes, and he'll be happy to help you if you get lost or have any trouble.
I think that's pretty much it, but one thing that must be said is that I hope you have good Quidditch players, I've been worrying about Quidditch lately, and Hufflepuff isn't doing very well.
You can sleep comfortably, our dorms will protect us from the storm, and we will never get to know what the people in the tower feel like every night are disturbed.
Again: Congratulations on being one of the friendliest, most gracious, and strongest of the colleges.
Entering the Hufflepuff common room, Cedric finished his speech just in time, earning enthusiastic applause from the badgers. Field saw Hannah and Susan look at Cedric's eyes, both with Venus in them.
Cedric, gracefully finishing his work, directs the girls into a door to their dorm. Then lead the boys through another door.
The little badgers' suitcases have long been in their dormitories. Cedric told the freshmen that it was time for him to go, and that the Hufflepuff cadets would allocate their dorms fairly.
"Rest early, you have class tomorrow. You must know that Professor McGonagall and Professor Snape are notoriously strict, so don't be deducted too many points, or it will affect the results of the House Cup. Before Cedric left, he made an agreement with Field to study the books given by Master Yang Xiao with him in two days.
