Harry Potter and the Attack of the Squibs

Chapter 8 Hufflepuff's Hut

The house elves looked at each other.

Finally, a very old-looking house elf came over: "I will tell you everything I can say, but not everything I know, the ancient oath..."

Halfway through speaking, he casually raised his head and glanced at Lu Ke, and then the house elf froze.

"What happened to the ancient oath?"

"Ancient oath!"

The house elf reached out and grasped Lu Ke's robe tightly: "The guardian has appeared!"

Lu Ke was stunned for a moment: "You mean, I am the so-called guardian?"

The house elf nodded.

He let out a long sigh and began to explain.

Hufflepuff, one of the four founders, was the one who brought the house elves to Hogwarts.

But the contract these house elves received was not slavery, but equality and protection. Everything they did for Hogwarts was not strictly required, but spontaneous out of gratitude.

All this was because the house elves at that time were not doing well.

They are a race that was conquered and enslaved by wizards in ancient times through war. There are many such races, but only house elves have become the best and most popular choice for servants, because they are easy to obey by nature and rarely betray.

When the four founders created Hogwarts, the house elves had the only chance in history to completely escape slavery, but they had no idea at all, and even lost a large group of their masters to the witch hunt. They still gathered together, preparing to continue their servant lives.

It was then that Hufflepuff found them and convinced all the house elves to come to Hogwarts.

After Slytherin proposed the Guardian Pact, Hufflepuff immediately thought of the house elves. If there is anything that can faithfully implement the founder's decision and never betray, it is the house elves.

Among the house elves living in the kitchen of Hogwarts, there will always be the oldest one who will remember the content of the test and pass it on from generation to generation, never forgetting it.

The particularly old house elf in front of him was the only one who still remembered the contents of the test.

"My name is Carrot, and every generation of house elves responsible for the test have this name."

He led Lu Ke towards the depths of the kitchen.

Although he had been to the kitchen countless times, Lu Keke had never been there.

After walking past the shelves stacked with ingredients and passing through the small wooden door, the two came to a small room.

This is the kind of place that people would be willing to hide in and use as a secret base.

It is small but comfortable and any need one can imagine can be taken care of.

A dim yellow light illuminates the confined space. You can lie down or sit anywhere on the thick carpet. There are comfortable sofas at the foot of the wall. The bookshelves on all sides are filled with all kinds of books, as well as strange and strange things that make people unable to move away. Gaze gadget.

Carrot stood outside the door and did not come in: "The test is inside."

With that he closed the door.

Lu Ke was surprised to find that the small door disappeared from the wall after closing it.

Now he is completely trapped here.

Lu Ke looked around. There was no prompt here. He didn't know how to start.

But for some reason, he didn't feel scared at all. He even wanted to put the test aside and take a good rest in this room first.

This thought flashed across his mind, and Lu Ke frowned.

Although he is a person who is very afraid of trouble, but now he is in the middle of Hufflepuff's test. In the end, he will get a super reward, and the process is extremely exciting. The founder's test, Lu Ke will never have the idea of ​​​​pausing.

He was affected by something invisible.

Lu Ke was sure of this almost instantly, and then he walked towards the shelf next to the wall.

That's the only place where clues might be hidden.

Lu Ke saw a huge diamond on the shelf, a crystal ball with an entire snowy town hidden inside, and a crystal-carved sailboat. It was completely consistent with reality and could definitely go on a long voyage.

Lu Ke was stunned for a moment.

The pot disappointed him, and he was tempted to put it aside and ignore it.

But Lu Ke's reason told him that this was not normal.

It's not that Lu Ke realizes that he has been affected, these effects will disappear.

On the contrary, when he realized this, Lu Ke's emotions became more and more wild.

Fortunately, his sanity is still there.

Lu Ke picked up a perfect transparent water bottle from the other side. The water inside showed various strange shapes under the power of some kind of magic spell. From heavy snow in the sky to regular ice cubes that slowly grew, it looked unpredictable. , mysterious and confusing, simply suffocating.

Then Lu Ke poured all the water in the water bottle into the flower pot.

At that moment, he wanted to kill himself.

Then nothing happened.

Lu Ke fell to the ground, curled up and buried his face in the carpet.

Regret bit at his heart like a poisonous snake.

But not long after, Lu Ke heard the crisp sound of wind chimes.

He got up from the ground and saw that a pure white flower was already in full bloom in the empty flowerpot on the shelf.

They were three pure white flowers blooming in a green clump, shaped like wind chimes, and there was a crisp sound coming from them.

Lu Ke walked over.

Then he found a drop of dew on the blade of grass where the three flowers faced each other.

Lu Ke approached carefully, and then discovered that there seemed to be another world in the middle of the dew.

When Lu Ke reacted, he found that he was standing in the middle of a spherical space.

This is a transparent space, and the outside world is distorted.

But Lu Ke took a closer look and found that the small room outside was just now.

"Welcome, Heir."

A woman who looked far better than Professor Sputraw stood in front of Lu Ke.

"Are you...Hufflepuff?"

The woman nodded.

Lu Ke was speechless for a moment.

In fact, he had always thought that Hufflepuff should be like Professor Sputrow. Although she looked ordinary and unpretentious, she would make people trust her unconsciously.

The Hufflepuff in front of me was too unsophisticated.

"Your reason is as cold as Salazar Slytherin himself. Be careful, Guardian. If you are unwilling to tell your true feelings, you will not be able to get your true feelings in return."

Lu Ke nodded helplessly.

Of course Hufflepuff was right.

But whether Lu Ke would follow the correct instructions, he knew the answer was no.

Lu Ke is a complete intellectual supremacist with a heart of stone.
