After hearing Elena's words, most of the students in the common room looked at each other with confusion on their faces.
However, first-year students like Hannah Abbott behaved much calmer. Most of them nodded understandingly and looked expectantly at Elena waiting for the eldest sister's next arrangements.
"Of course, you don't think what you just ate was just ordinary herring bought from the market, do you?"
A strange look appeared on Elena's face, her fingers passed over herself, Hannah, and some of the Hufflepuff first-year students present, and she said slightly exaggeratedly, "That's the failure of all the first-year training sequence."
It took a lot of effort to finally catch the mutant fish from the freezing black lake."
Looking around at the little wizards licking their wands by the fireplace, the silver-haired little Luoli spread his hands.
"As the seniors of Hufflepuff, we shouldn't always come to rob us weak and pitiful first-year students of the fruits of their labor."
Although Hagrid was the main fisher, every first-year student was involved in the subsequent food processing.
In order to cultivate the character of the first-year little wizards, Elena personally supervised that everyone had to use a knife to make cuts on the mutated fish. As for the work of removing scales and peeling fish, she simply broke up the entire first-year class and divided them into
Several groups are each responsible for the fish they want to eat at night.
Elena and Hagrid were surprised to find that, for some reason, the best performers in each group were mostly girls.
After experiencing a brief panic, most of the little witches quickly calmed down and followed Elena's demonstration, applying the knife accurately and coldly. On the contrary, there were many boys among the boys who cried the whole time - of course, after eating
After the delicious grilled fish, their eyes became much firmer.
According to Elena's estimation, maybe the next time they kill fish, everyone will happily pick up the knife and participate in group activities. Of course, there is no need to share these specific details with the senior students.
"Mutated fish in the Black Lake? I see. No wonder the taste and texture are so different."
Cedric smacked his lips, as if he was recalling the feast on his tongue just now.
Thinking about it carefully, the vague coldness in the fish meat was indeed very similar to the smell of the lake outside Hogwarts Castle. When he thought of this, Cedric couldn't help but feel a little annoyed. He had eaten too fast just now, and he couldn't help but think about it.
I was not able to taste the deliciousness of this rare fish.
Just when young classmate Diggory was still upset, a gentle female voice came from the crowd.
"That is to say, in fact, we only need to go to the lake and find a way to catch a few more of these mutant fish. Elena, will you be responsible for cooking for everyone?"
Everyone turned their heads, and the speaker was Darth Zannah, the sixth-grade female prefect of Hufflepuff. Seeing everyone turning their heads to look at her, the tall Zannah shrugged her shoulders and said matter-of-factly, "Frankly.
To be honest, after experiencing the simple and difficult three meals yesterday, I feel that we really need to find ways to improve the food ourselves."
There is no doubt that in order to preserve the huge wealth that is at least enough for Hogwarts to squander for hundreds of years, and to ensure that the wizarding world can remain invincible in this game, Dumbledore really did it this time.
So cruel.
The school has implemented strict austerity policies in all aspects of expenses. Apart from the lunches that are mixed up by first graders, the three meals a day are not much better. Even the dinners are not much better. The main food components are still
Mashed potatoes, cabbage, and bacon, this made the old students who were used to eating sumptuous meals secretly a little dissatisfied.
"But Zanna, if you really want to enter the Black Lake to fish, the only suitable times are lunch and afternoon breaks."
Cedric frowned and interrupted, "In that case, we are likely to be bumped into by the group of Slytherins living at the bottom of the lake, and everyone may be laughed at, right?"
The relationship between the four major houses of Hogwarts is actually not complicated. To sum up with Dumbledore’s classic phrase "Nitwit! Blubber! Oddment! Tweak!", it is actually four
A chain of contempt.
(For more explanations, click here. For some details, please see the work related [HP fan refutation of rumors])
"Well, Digory, you are right, Slytherin is indeed a problem."
Zannah touched her lips in distress. She was not worried about being laughed at, but that as the only house living at the bottom of the lake, Slytherin's exclusion was the most serious among the four houses. "Actually, I'm more worried."
We're worried they won't let us do it."
As the senior students mentioned Slytherin, the atmosphere in the common room suddenly became unpleasant.
Although on the surface, the hostility between Gryffindor and Slytherin is the most obvious, there are actually not many opportunities for the two houses to meet. This can be seen from the first-year course schedule.
——Except for Potions and Flying lessons, Slytherin and Gryffindor have no overlapping courses.
(For detailed class schedule, please refer to the relevant work [First-grade Curriculum Deduction])
Therefore, in the entire Hogwarts, those who have the most contact with Slytherin House are actually the poor Hufflepuff badgers.
Whether it’s the distribution of common rooms on the same floor, or the overlapping of almost half of the courses, or the natural arrogance of pure-blood families towards the common people (frankly speaking, there are actually not many pure-blood families in Gryffindor).
), there is almost no Hufflepuff student who has not been bullied by the Slytherin snakes next door.
The upperclassmen's faces turned a little ugly at the thought of having to deal with Slytherin House.
Glancing at the Hufflepuff common room, which suddenly became gloomy, Elena frowned. She finally understood why Hufflepuff hadn't won the House Cup in decades. It was obviously because the atmosphere in the house was wrong.
.
This won't work. She is also counting on mobilizing the power of the masses (senior thugs) to help her get a steady stream of ingredients that are not so easy to handle.
"etc……"
The silver-haired little witch rolled her eyes, put her finger on her lips, and asked curiously, "But the portrait of Principal [Phyllida Spoor] in Professor Dumbledore's office tells me the exact meaning of Slytherin House.
Speaking of which, it is actually at the bottom of the entire Hogwarts food chain? As far as I know, more than a hundred years ago, Hufflepuff had a very glorious and long history. Aren't you curious?"
Professor Dumbledore? Phyllida? Headmaster Spoor? Slytherin at the bottom? The glorious Hufflepuff house?
The girl's voice was not loud, but the few key words revealed in just a few sentences were enough to attract everyone's attention to her again.
However, perhaps because the two principals were involved at the same time, and the information revealed was too incredible, a strange silence fell suddenly in the Hufflepuff common room.
"..."
Surprisingly, it was cold?!
Elena, who maintained an innocent expression, felt that her smile began to become a little stiff. The corner of her eye slowly swept across the crowd in front of her. She suddenly felt as if there were a group of dumb marmots in front of her.
He opened his mouth stupidly and looked at her curiously, waiting for someone to take the initiative to ask questions.
——The boring gourds in Hufflepuff are really difficult to deal with. If the same situation were changed to Ravenclaw, Gryffindor, or even Slytherin, there would already be enthusiastic little wizards who would take the initiative to take care of them.
Talked.
Fortunately, just when she was about to break the pot and change into a strong persona, Hannah Aibo, the person she was most familiar with, looked around and summoned up the courage to ask in a low voice.
"Who is Principal Phyllida Spoor? Why did she say that? Did our Hufflepuff really ever have a great time, Elena?"
For the first time in so long after entering Hogwarts, Elena felt a sincere touch and relief after hearing Hannah's voice. It was not in vain that she had fed her and put clothes on her.
of.
Elena secretly breathed a sigh of relief and was not in the mood to show off. She cleared her throat and quickly continued what Hannah Xiaoluoli said.
"Of course, as everyone knows..."
