Chapter 298 Hufflepuff’s Attributes (Please Vote for Me)
Pomona Sprout is the Herbology professor at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry and the Head of House Hufflepuff.
Compared with other professors, this short, fat witch who always has a warm smile on her face and always seems to have some dirt stains on her body is probably one of the most low-key and introverted professors in the entire school. .
Except for meal times, most teachers and students can only see her in the greenhouses and vegetable fields outside the castle.
There is no doubt that just as the infirmary belongs to Madam Pomfrey, in addition to the greenhouse that serves as a classroom, Professor Spratt, an herbology expert, is also responsible for the management of the Hogwarts vegetable plots. .
For Elena, it was like when she was "stealing vegetables" in someone else's virtual vegetable garden in her previous life, and suddenly received a pop-up message from the owner of the vegetable garden - the most important thing is that she accidentally let it slip just now.
"Hmm... counting the ingredients?" Professor Sprout raised his eyebrows and repeated with interest.
"Uh, well..."
Elena blinked, showing an awkward but polite smile, her brain started to work quickly, and at the same time she glanced at the two unloyal little wings, hoping to get some useful off-site tips.
Hufflepuff is known as the most accommodating and friendly house, no one can deny that.
But, on the other hand, Hufflepuff is also the most stubborn house in the entire Hogwarts. Just like Newt Scamander, Hannah Abbott, and Cedric Diggory, once they Once you know one thing clearly, it is easy to show a kind of stubbornness that is almost desperate - the silly, but the most difficult Hufflepuff spirit.
As the headmaster of Hufflepuff House, Pomona Sprout undoubtedly inherited the Hufflepuff spirit.
In the plot of the original book, when Dumbledore died unexpectedly and other professors in the school were hesitating whether to close Hogwarts, the always friendly and easy-going witch broke out the firmest position: "As long as one student wants to come School should continue to operate.”
This means that once the seemingly easy-going Dean of Hufflepuff takes a dislike to him, it will be a very bad thing - not that Professor Sprout will do anything targeted. Behavior, but based on the character of this enthusiastic witch, she will definitely try her best to "help" Elena change her bad habits.
Just a young version of Hannah's Little Iron Girl is enough to give Elena a headache. She doesn't want to have to find a way to deal with an upgraded version of "Iron Lady" in the next study time. So for a while she didn't think about how to deal with Professor Sprout.
But fortunately, it seems that the goddess of luck is on her side again today.
Snapped.
Looking at the somewhat panicked little silver-haired witch, Professor Sprout clapped his palms gently and smiled.
“Today’s breakfast was delicious and well cooked.”
"Eh?"
Elena, who was preparing for the cross-examination, blinked and was slightly stunned.
"Don't be shy. Professor Dumbledore already asked the kitchen about the situation during breakfast."
Professor Sprout's eyes were full of appreciation and he continued with a smile.
"So all professors know that today's rich and delicious breakfast was thanks to a certain little guy who sneaked into the kitchen at six o'clock in the morning - frankly speaking, this is the best breakfast I have ever had at Hogwarts. A breakfast.”
Hufflepuff House is an existence that is so ordinary that people can easily ignore it. Whether it is from the dean to the students, it always seems to serve as some kind of tepid and mediocre background.
Wisdom was crowned on Ravenclaw, courage was placed on Gryffindor, even ambition and nobility were taken away by Slytherin, and Hufflepuff seemed more like a shelter, mercifully Take in the little wizards who are not favored by the other three houses - losers, mediocrity, honest people, iron fools... these are the labels of Hufflepuff.
In fact, ever since Elena chose to enter Hufflepuff House during the Sorting Ceremony, there has been a debate among the professors about whether sorting by threatening the Sorting Hat should be recognized.
After all, in complete form, the Sorting Hat, which embodies the thoughts of the four founders, has not read Elena's heart. Strictly speaking, Elena cannot be regarded as a little wizard who has completed the sorting ceremony - but This point began to become more and more undercurrent as Elena gradually became prominent among the students.
As professors who have taught for many years, everyone can easily feel that Elena is different.
Whether it's her affinity among the freshmen of the same grade that ignores the barriers of the academy, or her almost demonic learning ability and magical talent, not to mention Dumbledore's extremely obvious extra attention - if Not because everyone knew that Dumbledore was still unmarried, but everyone even suspected that this was not the principal's illegitimate (grand) daughter.
And in this case, Elena, who has flaws in the branch ownership, makes everything start to become more subtle.
At least from Professor Sprout's perspective, she could clearly feel that more than one dean of the college was peeping at and coveting her "Moonlight", and even many old friends had begun poaching.
Gryffindor House is naturally the most obvious.
Professor Sprout never expected that after Elena accidentally slept in the Gryffindor dormitory one night, Elena appeared in front of her the next day wearing Gryffindor clothes. Lots of hospital uniforms.
"Miss Caslana has the qualities of a Gryffindor. She is brave and adventurous. We should try something."
Dumbledore, who was born in Gryffindor House, explained this way, and then smoothly agreed to Elena's right to keep the Gryffindor uniform and to enter and exit the Gryffindor common room normally.
Then, at the beginning of this week, just yesterday morning, Severus Snape casually found an excuse to change Elena's school uniform into the style of Slytherin House, and asked Elena to Sit down at the Slytherin table.
The most important thing is that Sprout almost believed what Snape said: "nasty little guy", "teach him a lesson", "will change back before class", "a student should not have two "Set of hospital uniform" explanation.
The result... hum!
Every afternoon in Potions class, there was an unprecedented assistant teacher, and Snape actually took the initiative to give Elena a point to show his kindness - Pomona Sprout didn't believe it. How can a first-year little witch help in the upper-grade potions class? This is obviously a secret attempt to steal students.
What troubled Sprout the most was that the qualities Elena displayed during this period, whether it was courage and adventurous spirit, or almost substantial ambition and cohesion, seemed to be in line with the spirit advocated by Hufflepuff. It doesn't matter much.
So much so that sometimes she wondered whether this dazzling little witch was a qualified Hufflepuff.
However, starting from this morning, she can finally confirm with 100% certainty - Elena Kaslana is a born Hufflepuff student, and no house can take her away, even if Even the Sorting Hat would definitely make such a decision.
Enthusiasm, kindness, diligence, integrity, honesty... these may be the world's first impressions of Hufflepuff.
However, these traits do not actually have a particularly strong marking or distinction. In fact, all good students will possess these most basic character traits. There is only one special mark that truly belongs to Hufflepuff.
gourmet food!
The most distinctive feature of Hufflepuff House is the love and talent that far surpasses all other wizards in any field related to food.
In fact, almost all the magic spells about food in the European wizarding world today were invented by wizards from Hufflepuff College. More than 90% of the authors of magical cooking books are also wizards from Hufflepuff College. .
However, even so, in the long history of Hogwarts, there has never been a wizard who can completely convince all the house elves in terms of cooking skills-perhaps, Helga Hufflepuff back then. Ms. Qi was able to do this, but she also failed to become a "chef" in charge of the kitchen.
"Miss Caslana, or rather, our lovely little Hufflepuff chef."
Professor Sprout came over, lovingly patted the dirt that accidentally got on Elena's body, tilted his head slightly, looked around the lush vegetable patch, and said in a cheerful tone.
"Perhaps we can take care of this vegetable patch together... I'm a little embarrassed to say that, although how to cultivate servant plants is my strength, but about how to turn them into delicious dishes, or our Hogwarts If there are any vegetables missing in the kitchen, then that’s not my area of expertise – to be honest, I’m really tired of the Hogwarts kitchen recipes that haven’t changed for decades, and it’s time to make some changes.”
