Chapter 105 The Deception Is in Progress... (Please Give Me Your Monthly Vote and Please Give Me the Chapter's Explanation)
"Preparing the ingredients...?"
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 were 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?"
Elena had a strange look on her face, she ran her fingers over herself, Hannah, and some of the first-year Hufflepuffs present, and said with a slight exaggeration, "That's the failure of all the first-year training sequence." It took a lot of hard work 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 Loli spread her hands.
"As the seniors of Hufflepuff, we shouldn't always come to snatch the fruits of our weak and pitiful first-year students' hard work."
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 little wizards in the first grade, Elena personally supervised that everyone had to use a knife to make a few cuts on the mutated fish. As for the work of removing scales and peeling the fish, she simply broke up the entire first grade 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, most of the best performers in each group were 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.
If you think about it carefully, the vague coldness in the fish meat 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 and he couldn't fully 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 it was Dastzanna, the sixth-year female prefect of Hufflepuff who spoke. Seeing everyone turning to look at her, the tall Shanna shrugged her shoulders and said matter-of-factly, "Frankly speaking, after experiencing the simple and difficult three meals yesterday, I think we really need to find ways to improve ourselves." Let’s get some food.”
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, among the three meals a day, 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 Shanna, 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 saying "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, you're right Digory, 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. Worried that they wouldn’t allow us to do that.”
The atmosphere in the common room suddenly became unpleasant as the upperclassmen mentioned Slytherin.
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 related work [First-year Course 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 overlap 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 ugly at the thought of possibly 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 Spohl] in Professor Dumbledore's office tells me that Slytherin House is, in the precise sense, Say, 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? Principal Phyllida Spohr? Slytherin at the bottom? The glorious house of Hufflepuff?
The girl's voice wasn't too loud, but the few key words revealed in just a few sentences were enough to draw everyone's attention back to her.
But perhaps because the two principals were involved at the same time, and the information revealed was too incredible, a strange silence suddenly fell into the Hufflepuff common room.
"..."
Actually, it's quiet? !
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 looked at her with his mouth open stupidly and 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 Abbott, the little lolita whom she was most familiar with, looked around and mustered up the courage to ask in a low voice.
"Who is Headmistress Phyllida Spoor? Why did she say that? Did our Hufflepuffs really have a great time, Elena?"
For the first time since entering Hogwarts, Elena felt sincerely moved and relaxed after hearing Hannah's voice. Her efforts to feed her and put clothes on her were not in vain. of.
Elena secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and was no longer in the mood to show off. She cleared her throat and quickly continued what Hannah said.
"Of course, as everyone knows..."
