Singing the school song was the last part of the dinner. Everyone could choose the tune they liked. At the end, only the Weasley twins continued to sing in a slow and heavy tone, which made many people laugh out loud.

"Music is more charming than anything we do!" Dumbledore wiped the corners of his eyes. "It's bedtime now. Let's go back to the dormitory."

The freshmen followed their seniors to their common room.

Gryffindors and Ravenclaws ascended the marble staircase in the entrance hall to the upper tower.

Slytherin and Hufflepuff were going underground. They went downstairs through the trap door behind the marble stairs, Slytherin to the left and Hufflepuff to the right.

"That's the kitchen." Cedric pointed to a huge fruit still life painting on the wall of the stone corridor. "But you have to find out how to get in. I have to leave you some surprises, right?"

"Or you can get up early every day and follow Cedric secretly, and you will know when he goes in to eat." Bernard said with a smile, "We Hufflepuff students are never afraid of going hungry."

By this time, they had reached the end of the corridor.The tall boy in the lead stopped and said loudly: "Everyone, be quiet! I am prefect Gabrielle Truman. Before entering the lounge, I have a few words to say to everyone -

"First, welcome the first-year students to join Hufflepuff. I hope you will keep in mind the spirit of Hufflepuff: integrity and friendship. If you have any difficulties, please feel free to ask your seniors for help.

"Second, remember the password for our common room. Knock on the second barrel from the bottom in the middle of the second row to the rhythm of 'Helga Hufflepuff,' and the door will open. Don’t remember it wrong, otherwise you will be doused with vinegar!

"Third, please do not reveal the secrets of the common room, and do not explore the lounges of other colleges. This is a school rule.

"Finally, welcome everyone again and wish you a good dream!"

After Truman finished speaking, he personally demonstrated how to open the door to the lounge.

"He is a good prefect." Bernard whispered to Ryan, "He will graduate in two years. I bet Cedric will take his place."

Then, the seniors took the lead and led the little wizard to climb into the passage through the hole disguised by the barrel.

After walking up a short distance, everyone entered a wide, round, low room, with the little wizards' luggage piled in the center.

"This is our common room," Truman introduced. "When there are no classes, you can read, play, and do homework here. The portrait on the front is of Ms. Helga Hufflepuff, this great pioneer. Bless us forever. Now, everyone, line up to collect your luggage and choose your room."

The boys picked up their luggage, entered through the wooden door on the left, and went down two floors before finding an empty dormitory. There were too many Hufflepuffs, accounting for almost half of the total number of people in the school.

The room is semi-open, with stone walls on three sides. One side opens to the corridor and is blocked by a yellow and black patchwork curtain.This allows each little wizard to be assigned a relatively independent space without being too lonely.

Ryan chose a room in the middle, and Justin and Ernie occupied the left and right sides respectively. However, they obviously had no intention of leaving the dormitory. After repeated tossing, the little wizards were already exhausted.

Ryan lay on the bed and waited until everyone around him fell asleep. Then he quietly got up, cast a silent spell on himself, and slipped out of Hufflepuff's dormitory.

Ryan swore that he was a good student who abided by the law from the inside out, and violating school rules today was truly force majeure.

He has to try his luck in the Room of Requirement!

Otherwise, I will be very upset and unable to sleep at all.

Of course, Ryan was too lazy to deal with the troublesome spiral staircase in Hogwarts, nor did he want to bump into the castle administrator, nor did he want to look around like a headless fly for the portrait of Silly Barnabas on the eighth floor. You know, the principal's office is also on the eighth floor. building.

He planned to go to the kitchen to find the house elf, and go directly to the door of the Room of Requirement. The anti-Apparition spell in Hogwarts would not affect the house elf.

He came to the huge fruit still life painting next to the common room and looked at the things in the painting carefully.Ryan only knew that the mechanism of the kitchen was on a pear, but there was obviously more than one pear in the painting.

Ryan estimated that the door handles were on both sides of the painting. Sure enough, he observed carefully and could vaguely feel the traces of magic running on the big pear on the right.

Ryan scratched the pear, and it immediately chuckled and turned into a big green handle.Ryan grabbed it and pulled the door open.

The screams of hundreds of house elves suddenly came from the kitchen. They hid in a hurry until they saw a little wizard coming in, and then they tremblingly came out of every corner.

"Sir, do you need our help with anything?" The house elves saw the older one standing up and said respectfully, "Babu is willing to serve you."

"Hello, Barb." Ryan smiled, trying to be as kind as possible, "I am a first-year Hufflepuff freshman. I heard Senior Cedric talk about the kitchen, so I came here to take a look."

"Hufflepuff!" Babu shouted in surprise, "Babu always respects Hufflepuff, and Babu is willing to do anything for Hufflepuff students!"

"Oh, I'm just curious about Hogwarts," Ryan said, "Do you mind telling me some interesting things about the school?"

"Of course, sir, what do you want to hear?" Barb asked, then immediately added, "Would you like some refreshments?"

"Just give me a glass of hot milk."

"Wenqi, prepare a cup of hot milk for this gentleman." Babu ordered.

"My name is Ryan Franklin, just call me Ryan." Ryan took the milk from Wenqi and took a sip, "Thank you, Wenqi, this is the most delicious food I have tasted today."

The elf named Wen Qi was so excited that he seemed to faint, smiling stupidly and bowing repeatedly.

Then, Ryan chatted with them about the stairs and secret passages of Hogwarts, and inquired about many secrets, and finally led the conversation to the Room of Requirement.

"Babu, I read in the autobiographies of some graduates that there is a mysterious room in the corridor on the eighth floor. Do you know where that place is?"

"Sir, are you talking about the coming and going house?" Babu asked.

"Come and go house?" Ryan asked pretending to be curious.

"On the eighth floor, only the Coming and Going Room matches your description." Barb said, "I heard my grandfather talk about it. It seems to be the legacy of Ms. Ravenclaw. The Coming and Going Room can show itself according to people's wishes."

"Really? There is such a magical place, it deserves to be Hogwarts!" Ryan's eyes sparkled, "Babu, can you take me to see it?"

"Well...Mr. Lane, it's curfew time now." Barb said sadly, "Barb is willing to do anything for Mr. Lane, but Barb doesn't want Mr. Lane to be caught and imprisoned by Filch."

"Don't worry, Barb, as long as you don't get caught." Ryan said, with a begging look on his face, "Barb, I'm really curious. Just this time, I'm begging you."

"That's...okay, Mr. Franklin."

Barb couldn't say any more words of rejection. He took Ryan's arm, snapped his fingers, and performed phantom movement.

The violent rotation and squeezing sensation spread all over Ryan's body, and when he stood still, he almost vomited out his dinner.

It took Ryan a while to calm down. He looked around, and behind him was the portrait of "Troll Beating Barnabas."Ryan secretly took note of the surroundings to prepare for the next exploration.

"I want a library, I want a library..."

Ryan closed his eyes, concentrated on repeating the request in his mind, and went back and forth three times.

A smooth carved door appeared out of thin air on the stone wall. Ryan was overjoyed that his request was fulfilled!

This also meant that he no longer had to take the risk of entering the restricted area of ​​the library.

Ryan opened the door and walked in, with Barb following behind him.

"Oh, Mr. Lane, do you like reading?" the elf asked happily. In his impression, a little wizard who loves to learn cannot be too bad.Ryan's wish for the Room of Requirement was a library, much to Barb's relief.

Then he saw Ryan, who "loved learning", go straight to the restricted book area.
