Chapter 666 Ens Who Can't Sleep
The student dormitories of Hufflepuff College are located underground like Slytherin, but compared to the dormitories of the Snake Court, which is known as the "Slytherin Dungeon", the residences of the little badgers are extremely comfortable.
Back then, Helga Hufflepuff was a witch with a lazy temperament. She not only liked all kinds of food, but also paid special attention to the living environment. On the contrary, she didn't have much interest in the appearance that other women always valued. Therefore, Helga, who was famous for her beauty when she was young, turned into a round and kind figure in her middle-aged and old age.
Of course, let’s not mention the old things that happened thousands of years ago. If we talk about the most comfortable common room and dormitory among the four Hogwarts colleges, it must be the Hufflepuff basement.
The first thing that must be mentioned is of course the common room of Hufflepuff College. This lounge is a circular room as a whole. Although it is not too big, it can bring a particularly prominent sense of warmth to the students.
Although this is underground, you can see the scenery on the ground through the round window.
During the day, the place is full of mild sunshine, and Professor Sprout often places flowers and plants here. The fragrance of the soil and plants can make people feel like they are in the wild grassland in spring.
And at night, the grass and dandelions outside the window will turn into dots of fireflies, echoing the distant starry sky. Even hard-working students reading at night with the lamp on will feel a special feeling.
However, what is more worth mentioning is the dormitory where the little badgers live.
Around the common room, there is an arched doorway, and after passing through the doorway, you will see more circular passages. The passage here can be said to be winding and winding. If you really compare it, its complexity is probably not much worse than the Hogwarts moving stairs designed by Ravenclaw.
The only difference is probably that none of these interconnected passages can move by themselves, and they are all non-magical structures.
It is because no outsiders have ever entered the Hufflepuff basement, and the little badgers are mostly low-key, which makes this amazing underground building so far unknown.
To be honest, Maca had explored here many times back then, but even he dared not say that he knew these intricate underground passages like the back of his hand. In fact, he had also found some rooms that were not used all year round in the depths of certain passages, but unfortunately, they were basically filled with worthless gadgets.
Now, Ens, who was sorted into Hufflepuff College, lived in a dormitory branched off one of the passages.
"...According to the "Book of Potions", Felix Elixir is a very difficult potion to make. In this way, it must be impossible to make it yourself... Then, what should I do?" Where are you going to get it?"
The night outside the castle was gradually getting darker, but Ke Ensi still couldn't fall asleep. He looked at the slightly bulging pocket of the pair of trousers on the bedside table, and the desire to get more Felicia in his heart seemed to be intensifying.
No way, once he tasted that wonderful taste, he couldn't hold it back.
"If it's Professor Slughorn, there should be..." He huddled under the blanket, murmured to himself silently, but quickly shook his head, "No, the chocolate was sent by someone else, so it's nothing ...but if you want to steal it, then..."
However, this sudden thought lingered in his mind after he denied it.
"Enough! What am I thinking about—" Ens rapped his forehead hard, then turned over on the bed, trying to drive away the suffocating impulse, "Stop thinking about Felicia ...Furthermore, it is also stated in the book that Felix Elixirs must not be taken frequently. That's right... Is this the recklessness and arrogance brought by Felicia Felicia? Hmm...it should be right... ..."
After a while, Ensi, who forced himself to close his eyes, couldn't take it anymore, so he sat up suddenly. After looking around,
He decided to get dressed and sit in the common room—it would be much cooler than the dormitory if the fireplace wasn't lit, and it might calm him down somewhat.
It's just that he didn't realize that this anxiety and longing didn't come from the Blessing Elixir, but from his true heart.
After putting on the wizard's robe lightly, Ens walked out of the dormitory in the dark, and then walked slowly along the winding circular passage to the common room.
There is no light here, so it is naturally quite dim, but the little fluorescent light outside the round window still brings a little light into the room. With a full stomach full of annoyance, Ens randomly chose a seat by the window and sat down, propping his cheek with one hand, while subconsciously putting the other hand on the pocket of his trousers.
With the faint light from the window, he could see the outline of his face which was not very clear. Although it was difficult to recognize his expression at the moment, his tightly pursed lips had fully expressed his mood.
The air in the common room was still mixed with the fragrance of new mud. Occasionally smelling it might calm people down involuntarily, but if it was smelled a lot, it would not have much effect on calming the mind. On the contrary, the temperature here was indeed lower than that in the dormitory, and Ensi's increasingly hot mind also cooled down a little.
"I can't think about Felicia anymore... No, it's chocolate, it's best not to eat it for now." He stroked his slender and soft black hair, took a deep breath, "Mmm... Or go to the kitchen and get something to eat, maybe it's because I didn't have enough dinner that I'm thinking here and there..."
He sat on the armchair for a while longer, and then found an excuse so casually, and forced his thoughts to go elsewhere.
The Hogwarts kitchen is not far from the entrance to the Hufflepuff common room, and this is where the little badgers occasionally take the initiative to take a look around. Because the distance between the two is too close, even if you run over there at night when you are hungry, you are not afraid of being caught by Filch who is watching the night.
By the way, the location of the kitchen is a little knowledge that the old students of Hufflepuff College often mention when they warn the new students. Maca was mentioned by Charlotte in the past.
As for Erns, this little badger is not a very obvious Hufflepuff freshman, but he has been there a long time ago.
Not long after, when the pile of iron hooped wooden barrels in the depths of the castle's underground corridor quietly opened the entrance doorway, a sneaky figure came out immediately, turned around and trotted along the corridor for a few steps. When he stood in front of the fruit painting and quickly and accurately scratched the pear in the painting, accompanied by a few slight sneers, the pear turned into a yellow doorknob.
"Squeak—"
The sound of the portrait being opened was actually louder than Lizi's laughter. But fortunately, this corridor under the castle has several corners, as long as it is not too close to here, it is unlikely to be heard.
Just dodging, Ens quickly got into the doorway exposed behind the portrait, and the portrait was closed again in a blink of an eye.
The kitchen of Hogwarts Castle occupies a large area, and there are hundreds of house elves living here. In the center of the kitchen, the most conspicuous are the four long dining tables that are exactly the same size as the auditorium. When the three meals a day are served, the rich and delicious food is laid out one by one by the elves, and then transferred from here together.
Of course, generally speaking, it is impossible to eat all the food in each meal. So after the headmaster removed all the meals and food in the auditorium, they would return here and be left to the house-elves to dispose of freely.
"Crackling - crackling -"
Just as Erns hurried into the kitchen, with a slight but continuous sound of explosions, house elves who were half asleep and half awake appeared in front of him one after another. That's right, although Filch or Professor Night Watch could hardly hear the sound just now, it was impossible to hide it from these house-elves who were particularly sharp-eyed.
"Snapped."
After an elf yawned and snapped his fingers, torches lit up in the originally dark kitchen, illuminating the place brightly.
"Oh... respected little wizard, come to the humble kitchen so late, is there anything that the elves can do for you?"
Those standing in front of Enns were the house elves who had lived in Hogwarts Castle for generations, not the liberals brought back by Maca.
They live better than the house-elves in other pure-blood family mansions, but they still don't get rid of the narrow-mindedness of loyal service to wizards, and they wear all kinds of shabby clothes-I mean, If only those pillowcases and torn sheets could be called "clothes."
"Help me warm something to eat—" Ens casually pointed at the table and said, "Just pick some from the leftover dinners on the table."
House elves have a characteristic, that is, they will never say anything that should not be said. And Hogwarts students are also regarded as their masters, so even if they will clearly remember that Enns has been there, they will not take the initiative to report to the professors without other "masters" asking.
After the elves diligently heated up the food for Ensi and delivered it to him respectfully, he didn't want to pack the food away, but stayed in the kitchen and ate to his heart's content.
But after he ate some, he realized that he didn't seem to be that hungry. Even though the food that the elf heated up for him was not much, he still couldn't finish it all.
But his goal has been achieved - right now, he has already felt the strands of drowsiness that surged up. It's a pity that he just ran from the kitchen to the corridor outside, but the sound of regular footsteps dispelled the drowsiness he had been waiting for...
