Chapter 270 Hufflepuff Reemployment

"They should have good talents, right?" Helga's curiosity was ignited by Les.

"Of course--" When Les mentioned this, he became energetic and showed off the talents of his two apprentices to his old friend with great interest.

"That's great..." Hufflepuff's eyes showed envy. When it comes to recruiting apprentices, she really envies her friends, who can always find the most talented students.

This is normal. The gap in the source of students in the four colleges is destined to make it difficult for Hufflepuff to find real geniuses-the talents of pure-blood families were swept away by Salazar, and the outstanding students from Muggle families either went to Gryffindor or Ravenclaw, leaving her with only ordinary people.

After the envy, Helga rolled her eyes and asked another question: "They must look like Adrian's child, right? After all, they are his descendants."

Les's face changed all of a sudden.

"No, they--"

"In the future, they will definitely be two little Adrians-I really envy you, Salazar!"

Les's face has turned green.

Seeing that his old friend looked unhappy, Hufflepuff felt relieved - she did it on purpose, because the old venomous snake always jumped in front of him to show off his students' talents.

The two old guys walked up the dunes while chatting, and Helga cast a translation magic on herself to avoid obstacles in communicating with the younger generations.

When the two came to her, Daphne took a step forward and blocked her sister behind her. She greeted Les as if nothing had happened, but her eyes kept glancing at Hufflepuff.

"This is Ms. White, who was trapped in the ruins before and was just rescued by me." Les introduced Hufflepuff to the two nervous little girls.

After hearing Les' words, Helga resisted the urge to roll his eyes and waved to the two little witches, which was considered a greeting.

"Trapped in the ruins? What do you usually eat?" Daphne was very curious about this person trapped in the ruins, and she wanted to know everything about her.

Talking about food, Helga suddenly became interested. She took out a basket and a few cups from her arms like a magician - she wanted to show off her skills to the children.

Seeing that his old friend was interested, Les also waved his wand and conjured up a picnic blanket and a parasol.

"I brought my own food, do you want to try some?" Helga said with a smile, her face full of kindness and gentleness, just like a grandmother lying on a rattan chair in the sun every day.

"Uh, okay." Daphne was a little entangled at first, but seeing that Les didn't give any hints and was helping to set up the parasol, she happily accepted it.

However, what Ms. White took out disappointed her: she only took out a few pieces of dry bread and a piece of cheese wrapped in linen.

This emotion lasted only for a moment, because Daphne immediately realized that this might be the few supplies left for the poor old woman in front of her.

"Let's eat what we brought. We just replenished our supplies a few days ago." Daphne took out her lunch box.

But Hufflepuff firmly rejected Daphne's proposal and insisted that she taste the "delicious food" he brought out.

Daphne, who couldn't resist Hufflepuff, had to take the bread and cheese. As a result, her expression changed drastically after taking only one bite: the bread that looked dry turned out to be extremely soft and had a rich buttery aroma. Without looking at the appearance, just by the taste, she thought she was eating freshly baked French croissants. The cheese was even more magical, with a different taste in every bite - a bit like the snack Bibi Multi-Flavored Beans that is popular in the wizarding world.

Astoria also encountered a very magical thing. Helga handed her a cup and then filled the cup with spring water with the water purification spell.

"Come on, drink!" Hufflepuff motioned for her to drink the water in the cup.

Astoria was confused: I have heard that some people like to persuade others to drink, but there are people who persuade others to drink water? But when her lips touched the cup, she understood the reason.

The water in the cup magically turned into juice, and it was still iced!

"Amazing!" Daphne and Astoria said in unison, "How did you do it?"

"I'm good at food magic." Facing the two little witches' questions, Helga also frankly stated that she changed the taste of food through magic. Astoria drank water with the taste of juice, and Daphne ate just ordinary bread and cheese.

"I'm old, and I can only satisfy my appetite with these." Hufflepuff lamented that time is unforgiving.

After enjoying a simple but extremely rich meal, several people set out on their journey home together.

Before leaving, Les winked at Helga, and Hufflepuff understood and waved his hand, and a large amount of sand fell down, burying the ruins of the palace under the yellow sand again.

When they returned to the town, Les saw that Daphne and Astoria were exhausted, so he took them to a small hotel in the town to settle down temporarily. After they hurriedly used magic to remove the dust from their bodies, they fell asleep in the simple bedroom without even taking off their clothes.

Rice walked outside, brought a pot of coffee and found Hufflepuff, and started chatting with her.

"Well, what are your plans for the future? Do you want to see the world a thousand years later? The Muggle world has changed dramatically."

Helga shook her head. What she cared about most was the children of Hogwarts and Hufflepuff College a thousand years later.

"Sure enough, it's the same as me." Rice nodded: "But given your situation, I'm afraid you can't enroll as a student."

Hufflepuff: ...

"Is the school still short of teachers?"

Although she felt something was strange, she thought it should be no problem to sneak in as a teacher - she still had a lot of experience teaching students.

Rice rubbed his chin: "The school doesn't seem to be short of teachers..."

It is said that Hogwarts used to change a professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts every year, but this year - well, this year actually changed the professor, Lupin replaced Lockhart as the new professor. Then according to the "rule", will Lupin resign next year? Because this year's "quota" was used up by Lockhart!

But in this case, it seems that the school really has no extra teaching positions.

Seeing Rice say this, Hufflepuff was a little disappointed. But she still planned to write a letter to the current headmaster to try, just in case there was a chance?

She believed that as long as she could meet with the headmaster, she would definitely be able to convince him.
