The way to enter is also very simple. You only need to knock on the bottom of the second barrel in the second row of the pile of large wooden barrels according to Helga Hufflepuff's rhythm. The barrel lid will rotate open, revealing a passage that people can crawl into and enter the common room.

Different from the frequently changing passwords and riddles that are updated every time.

Hufflepuff is also the only house in Hogwarts that uses a fixed door password. You only need to remember it once and use it for seven years, which is quite worry-free.

…

"Remember, it's Helga Hufflepuff, the order can't be wrong."

Hufflepuff prefect Karen Harris stood in front of the freshmen and demonstrated the correct tapping sequence at three times the speed.

"Well...what if I knock the wrong number?" A little boy in the crowd said timidly, "I...my memory has never been very good. If I knock the wrong number, I won't be able to enter the dormitory."

"It's worse than that!"

Harris walked over to the barrel, knocked on it twice casually, and then quickly stepped back.

Almost at the same time, a stream of vinegar with a strong sour smell poured down, right onto the place where he had been before.

"As you can see," Harris said after waving his wand to clean up the vinegar on the ground, "if the knocking order is wrong, then the other barrel lid will burst open and pour vinegar all over the intruder.

If you don't want to smell sour all day, you have to remember the correct order, it's not that difficult."

Next, Harris demonstrated the correct sequence twice before leading them into the passage.

At the end of the passage is a simple large round room, which is the Hufflepuff common room.

Compared with the auditorium, the ceiling here is very low, probably less than three meters. It is surrounded by soft sofas in black and yellow, and there are many interesting plant decorations on the walls beside.

Kyle looked around with interest.

In addition to those common ornamental plants, there are actually quite a few rare and valuable plants here. The ones he knows include Rue, Dictamni, Hydrangea macrophylla, as well as Wind Whispering Grass and Wind Chime Sunflower.

Especially the wind chime sunflower placed in the middle of the lounge. If Kyle remembered correctly, the market price of this thing should be around three hundred Galleons, and there was no demand for it.

The golden hydrangea next to it is a little cheaper, and it is sold in Diagon Alley, only two hundred and seventy-nine Galleons.

Professor Sprout is worthy of being a famous herbal master in the magic world, using rare plants worth two or three hundred Galleons as decorations. This is true low-key and luxury.

Kyle resisted the urge to move them all away and turned to look to the side with his iron will.

There was a large, honey-yellow wooden mantelpiece with a carved badger on it against one wall, with some jars and other items placed on it.

According to the class leader Harris, the jar contains some snacks such as candies, and the little wizards can take them at will.

There was also a portrait of Helga Hufflepuff hanging above the fireplace.

It was a witch holding a golden cup and smiling brightly.

…

At this time, students from other grades of Hufflepuff also came in one after another. They greeted the freshmen enthusiastically and took out various snacks as gifts.

Kyle also received a lot. The pockets of his robe were filled with colorful candies and preserves, enough for him to eat for more than a month.

"How about it? The Hufflepuff common room is nice, isn't it?"

Cedric came to Kyle, patted his shoulder and said, "Other colleges don't have such a comfortable environment."

"It turns out to be Mr. Diggory." Kyle slapped the hand on his shoulder with a look of disgust and said indifferently, "Why, aren't you afraid of being misunderstood by Professor Snape at this time?"

"Don't be like that, Kyle. That's just for show." Cedric said with a wry smile, "Our friendship is unbreakable. I swear."

But he also knew that Cedric was joking before, so he wasn't really angry.

Even though what I just said really deserves a beating.

What's the point of doing it for show? Cedric wouldn't really think that he is Harry Potter and can get Snape's attention all the time.

What are you thinking about...

Kyle curled his lips in disdain, but he didn't know if it was an illusion, he always felt that Cedric's behavior just now was a little familiar, especially the shameless style of changing one's attitude according to the situation and madly shifting the blame, as if he had seen it on someone before.

Who could it be? Kyle thought hard, but he had no idea and finally gave up.

Maybe, possibly, perhaps... the Weasley brothers.

…

As more and more people filled the common room, Harris asked the freshmen to sit on the sofas, saying that it was at the professor's request that he tell them about the school rules of Hogwarts in advance, and that he could also let everyone get to know each other.

He then went to the kitchen next door with another female prefect and brought back some cookies and several large glasses of fresh juice.

This is why the Hufflepuff common room is close to the kitchen, while the other three houses do not have this privilege.

Soon, the table in the lounge was piled with all kinds of snacks.

Harris said enthusiastically: "Welcome to Hufflepuff. There are not many school rules in Hogwarts. As long as you can remember the following few rules, it will be fine.

first……"

While Harris was talking, Kyle looked around and quickly found Kanna at the outermost edge of the crowd, then moved over quietly.

"I went too far before." Kyle whispered, "I apologize to you."

Kanna was obviously startled. After she looked up and found that it was Kyle, she whispered, "No, no, it's also my fault. I'm too stupid. I should have guessed that you were joking.

How could Hogwarts use... use... that spell to sort the houses?"

Kyle shook his head and said seriously, "That's different. A joke should be funny to both parties. It must be my fault if I really scared you, so I must apologize."

Seeing Kyle's serious expression, Kanna bit her lip, raised her head and said seriously: "Then I accept your apology."

After saying that, he reached out and hit Kyle.

"Now we're even."

How can I describe the power of this punch...it's hard enough to even flick off the dust.

"Almost there, wait a moment."

Kyle smiled, then took out all the most beautifully wrapped brown candies from his pocket and handed them over: "This is an apology. If you accept it, we will be even."

"Well, okay..."

Kanna took the candy and put one in her mouth in front of Kyle. Then she stretched out her hand holding the candy to Kyle and said with a smile, "I'll treat you to candy."

“No, no.” Kyle shook his head and muttered, “Who in their right mind eats licorice candy? Even a crup wouldn’t eat it.”

“Crack!”
