The crowd was noisy, and the little wizards all surrounded Fred and George, waiting for them to come up with more pranks.
The pig tail candy and canary biscuits were very popular, and there was a constant popping sound in the crowd.
Only Hermione didn't go up to join in the fun. She quietly curled up on the sofa, squinting at the fire in the fireplace.
The fire flickered, and Hermione's bright brown eyes flickered. She frowned slightly, as if she was thinking hard.
Seeing her like this, Ai knew that she must still be thinking about the house-elves in the kitchen.
He knew Hermione too well. After knowing how to get into the kitchen, she must have planned to do something there.
Sure enough, in the middle of the party, she sneaked out alone.
Ai, who had been watching Hermione, sighed and hurriedly followed.
In the dim corridor, hearing footsteps behind her, Hermione turned around like a kitten.
"Why did you come out with me?" She looked at Ai in surprise.
"I know you're going to the kitchen to find the house-elves. I'll go with you," Ai said seriously.
He had gone to the kitchen several times before when he wandered around the castle at night, but he didn't go deep into it.
Imagine this scene. In the second half of the night, you sneak into the school kitchen to find something to eat.
As soon as you go in, you are surrounded by a group of house-elves that come out of nowhere. They are only as tall as your knees.
They stare at you with bulb-sized eyes, respectfully looking at your master, and ask in a shrill voice what you need.
Before you can speak, more house-elves will appear one after another, light the fire in the stove, and take the initiative to cook food.
You are a little hungry and plan to go to the kitchen to see if there are any biscuits or pies left for dinner, but these house-elves will be extremely enthusiastic to prepare a feast for you.
If there is a need, they can even burn a cow.
Even though it is already the second half of the night, even though they are surprised by your intrusion, even though the delicious food is very troublesome to cook, even though there are all kinds of difficulties, they will never complain.
The house-elf would only use a humble tone to ask if you were satisfied and if you needed more food.
If you have the slightest dissatisfaction on your face, they will take the initiative to punish themselves.
This situation was too embarrassing. Ai had only experienced it once and did not want to experience it again.
After that, whenever he wanted to eat something, he would ask Dobby to prepare it for him and bring it to the common lounge.
Regardless of whether Hermione's idea of defending the rights of the house-elves was correct, Aidou believed that it was indeed appropriate to change the minds of the house-elves. They really didn't need to go to such an extent, even if they were slaves of wizards.
This was also the main reason why Ai planned to accompany Hermione to the kitchen tonight. He also wanted to do something for the house-elves.
Also, considering that Hermione might have been too excited to see so many house-elves,
Ai felt that it was necessary to keep an eye on her to prevent Hermione from doing anything bad.
In addition, he had read a lot of information about Helga Hufflepuff's life and had some guesses about the location of the secret treasure key she left behind.
He believed that the treasure key left behind by Hufflepuff was likely to be in the hands of the house-elves or in the kitchen.
As everyone knew, Helga Hufflepuff was the greatest wizard of that era.
In historical evaluation, her ultimate achievements surpassed those of the other three founders.
Unlike Slytherin, who suddenly left the school and had no news or records for the rest of her life, Hufflepuff had stayed in the school since the establishment of the Hogwarts. She dedicated her life to the Hogwarts until her death.
Hufflepuff was the longest-lived of the four founders and was also the first principal of the Hogwarts.
Anyone who had read "A History of the Hogwarts" would know that at the beginning of the story, the four founders founded the Hogwarts together and left behind many legends.
But the second half of the story was a solo performance by Hufflepuff. She worked hard for countless days and nights and made the Hogwarts strong on her own.
She laid the foundation of the world's greatest magic school and changed the structure of the entire magic world.
For nearly a thousand years, almost all magic historians thought that Hufflepuff was the greatest wizard and the greatest educator in the history of magic.
She won the praise of later generations with her practical actions, and the school rules and teaching framework she created continued to this day.
As the first principal of the Hogwarts, Helga Hufflepuff continued the tradition of the other three founders to the greatest extent and strictly implemented it.
While inheriting the educational philosophy of the other three founders, it also became the most distinctive part of the school.
Other than that, the most important achievement during her tenure was to recruit young wizards from the Muggle school.
Although this had been proposed during the period of the Four Magnates, the scale of recruitment had always been very small.
At that time, the mainstream view of the magic world was that magic was a sacred thing and should not be tarnished by the mudbloods.
On the other hand, most of the ignorant Muggles would label any child with magical talent as evil and kill them immediately.
Under such circumstances, it was extremely difficult to recruit Muggle students on a large scale.
Gryffindor, Laclau and Hufflepuff had made many preparations for this, but due to many restrictions, they had never fully implemented it.
After Gryffindor and Laclau passed away, the benevolent Hufflepuff became the principal of the Hogwarts. Not long after she took office, she stood her ground and ignored the objections of many pure-blooded sorcerer families. She expanded the number of Muggle students and pointed out a bright path for many Muggle students.
At its peak, the Hogwarts's enrollment had expanded to the whole of Europe and the Mediterranean region. There were more than 50,000 students.
It was worth noting that in that era without the sponsorship of the board, the tuition and living expenses of these Muggle students were all borne by Hufflepuff alone.
Because of this, she spent all the wealth of her family that had been passed down for thousands of years, leaving only her favorite golden cup.
Of course, this action of hers was unanimously opposed by the mainstream magic world, which was led by the pure-blooded sorcerer families.
Even her own descendants, as well as the descendants of Gryffindor, Laclau and Slytherin, did not approve of her doing this. The pure-blooded sorcerer families united to resist and seal off the Hogwarts. There were even many evil dark sorcerers who directly attacked the school.
At one point, the Hogwarts was on the verge of bankruptcy and was in a difficult situation. It was all managed by Hufflepuff alone.
No matter where they came from, no matter how talented they were, she treated all students equally. She offered the magical knowledge left behind by herself, Gryffindor, Laclau and Slytherin to all the young sorcerers for free. She taught them to grow and become useful people, and taught them the way of life.
In the last ten years of her life, Hufflepuff stood by herself and ran the magic school with lofty beliefs.
Her efforts finally paid off. More and more sorcerers graduated from the Hogwarts.
Most of these students were from the Muggle family. They should have been treated as devils and burned alive. However, the Hogwarts and Helga Hufflepuff saved them.
They gradually became the backbone of the magic world, changing the magic world that was led by the pure-blooded sorcerer families. They even changed the development of the entire history of magic. (To be continued.)
