Afterwards, Wentworth didn't care about sighing, and hurriedly fought with Cedric for the meat in the cauldron. It wasn't that Wentworth was stingy, but the hot pot tasted better when they fought for it! While the two were chatting and laughing and feasting, the door of the Hufflepuff common room was opened, and a figure walked in in a panic.
"Oh my god, there's so much smoke? Is there a fire?!"
Although Cedric used some small magic from time to time to disperse the smoke in the room, the steaming hot pot still made the Hufflepuff common room full of mist, so that Wentworth and Cedric could not see who came in for a moment.
"You two, are you taking potions?!"
When the visitor came closer, he was startled to see Wentworth and Cedric gathered around the crucible. The crucible in front of them was full of things and was boiling. Cedric's face was even flushed and he was sweating profusely.
Cedric and Wentworth then discovered that the person who came was none other than Green, the fifth-year Hufflepuff prefect.
"Cedric, are you okay? Not feeling well? You two are really messing around! If you're not feeling well, you should go find Madam Pomfrey. You're still young, how can you just mix potions like that?!"
Seeing Green's anger rising, Cedric and Wentworth looked at each other and burst into laughter, leaving Green a little confused.
"Prefect, why did you come back so suddenly? Have you finished your meal?"
Wentworth asked as he pulled over a chair and Cedric asked Green to sit down.
At this point, Green realized that he seemed to have misunderstood, and said after sitting down:
"Don't mention it. The two twins from the Weasley family got a weird Bludger from somewhere and stained my clothes. I came back to change my clothes. What are you doing?"
Green looked at the two people in front of him, twitching his nose from time to time, with a curious look on his face.
Wentworth quickly placed a portion of the seasoning he had prepared in front of Green, while Cedric quickly took out some slices of meat and vegetables from the cauldron and placed them in front of Green.
"Come on, Senior Green, if you see there's a share, do you want to try it?"
Green said with horror:
"You guys are really taking potions?!"
Cedric quickly explained:
"You misunderstood, Prefect Green. We are just using the crucible temporarily. This crucible is new. Wentworth just brought it at the beginning of the school year. We have never used it before."
Wentworth also echoed:
"Yes, Captain Green, this is a kind of food I learned from the Muggle world. It is called hot pot and it tastes very good."
After listening to the two's explanation, Green breathed a sigh of relief and said, "You should have told me earlier. You scared me. I thought you two were crazy!"
As Green spoke, he picked up the piece of meat without hesitation, dipped it in the seasoning prepared by Wentworth, and put it in his mouth.
"Mm! Delicious! Smells so good! Wentworth, you did a great job. The Sorting Hat made the right decision!"
Green spoke as he ate with big mouthfuls, not forgetting to put some new ingredients into the cauldron from time to time.
"Prefect Green, I finally understand why you are the prefect of our Hufflepuff. You know, when I took the first bite, I opened my mouth with great determination, but you didn't hesitate at all."
Green was about to say something, but his mouth was stuffed with meat and he almost choked. He took a long time to speak, "I'm not one of those guys who is proud of being a pure-blood. My father is a Muggle, but I still love him very much. When I was little, my father often cooked all kinds of Muggle food for me, and I loved it. That was my childhood."
"However, this kind of hot pot is the first time I have seen it. Wentworth, thank you for letting me eat such delicious food. If you need any help in the future, feel free to come to me."
Wentworth quickly expressed his gratitude and said:
"Prefect Green, you're welcome. As long as you like it!"
"I like it! Of course I like it! I've always believed that the magic world rejects everything about Muggles, which is bad. At least, many delicacies in the Muggle world are worth a try, haha!"
"Yes, I think so too. The development speed of the Muggle world is much faster than that of our magical world, isn't it?"
The three of them became happier and happier as they chatted, and Green even forgot about changing his clothes. However, in the Hogwarts Great Hall, at the Hufflepuff table, the little badgers who had been sitting next to Green were still waiting for him to come back.
It has to be said that although Hufflepuff is the house with the largest number of students among the four houses of Hogwarts, it is also the most united house. Seeing that Green had not gone back to eat for a long time, several classmates around Green could not help themselves.
So, two more students put down their food and walked towards the Hufflepuff common room, wanting to see where Green had gone and whether he had encountered any trouble.
But to the surprise of all Hufflepuff students, the two students were unable to come back after returning to the Hufflepuff common room.
You know, the Hufflepuff common room is the closest to the dining hall among the four students, and there are no strange stairs on the way, and you don’t need to answer any strange questions to open the door.
As a result, some rumors gradually spread around the Hufflepuff table, and soon, all the students at the Hufflepuff table knew that all the students who returned to the Hufflepuff common room at noon today were unable to come out.
At this point, all the Hufflepuff students were getting restless.
Some people wanted to report to the professor but were stopped. After all, they might just be delayed for something, and if they reported to the professor because of this, they would definitely be laughed at by students from the other three colleges.
So, after discussion among several senior students, everyone decided to go back to the Hufflepuff common room to find out what was going on.
Then, in the Hogwarts Great Hall, students from the other three houses saw a surprising scene. In an instant, all the students in Hufflepuff, who were usually honest and even dull, stood up and walked out.
Moreover, almost all Hufflepuff students had their wands drawn, which made this large team look somewhat murderous.
Along the way, students from the other three houses were so frightened by the scene of Hufflepuff that they hurriedly made way.
Although everyone was very curious about what happened in Hufflepuff, no one dared to follow to find out what happened. However, some students had already run outside, obviously to report to the professor.
Soon, all the Hufflepuff students arrived at the door of the common room.
