It took Ryan half an hour to finish his homework. Justin borrowed the History of Magic test paper for "reference". In the meantime, Ryan took six more books on potions and herbalism and started to write a draft of the thesis. .

For most of the content, he planned to directly apply the original text in the book and summarize it as the main body of the review. He would add some private information to the remaining parts and modify the scientific methodology of Muggles, which could be regarded as a cross between Snape.

He must establish an image of a "student master" for himself, so that Snape can't find a reason to deduct points, and try his best to do something to add points to Hufflepuff. In this way, Snape will definitely regard himself as a The second Hermione took an indifferent attitude.

After revising everything, Ryan immediately picked up the extra-long parchment issued by the school and tapped the quill with his wand to let it copy the paper.

"I'm so envious that you have an automatic quill." Justin whispered. When he saw the librarian's eyes glancing at him, he immediately closed his mouth and lowered his head.

Ryan pointed to the discussion room next to him and motioned for Justin to come over there to talk.

"Phew, Mrs. Pince is so scary," Justin said. "Whenever I talk, I feel like she's going to hit me with a feather duster."

"If you have anything to discuss, just pass me a note."

"I just feel that the atmosphere in the library is too stuffy." Justin said, "I don't have any inspiration to write a paper. Let alone three feet, I can't even hold it in for an inch."

"Why do we need inspiration for a paper like water?" Ryan handed over his draft paper, "I have already written it, you can refer to it."

"So fast?" Justin took the manuscript of the paper in surprise, "How did you write it?"

"Copy books. Of course, you'd better not choose the six books I chose. Snape might make a fuss." Ryan said, "I suggest you copy "History of the Development of Contemporary Potions" and "Unique Techniques for Brewing Potions" , "Poisons and Crucibles", "Medical Properties of One Hundred Commonly Used Herbal Medicines"."

"You read so many books..." Justin muttered.

"In fact, I haven't read any of them." Ryan smiled. "Please pay attention to the index at the back of the potions textbook. It contains the books I mentioned."

"That's because you know better." Justin frowned, "Ryan, I really regret learning magic. I don't know what the use of learning it is."

"Oh, really?" Ryan said, pretending to be nonchalant, "Just one drop of the elixir can make you full of luck all day long."

Justin's eyes lit up.

"Just one drop of Baffy's Brain Booster can make you smarter."

Justin's eyes widened.

"Just one drop of the love potion can make people fall in love with you to death."

Justin chuckled.

"All it takes is one drop of the elixir of life..."

"Stop talking, Ryan, I know." Justin's eyes were firm, "I will definitely learn magic well."

"Yeah..." Ryan said in a faint tone, "You don't regret learning magic, you just don't want to do your homework."

Justin blushed, but as soon as he picked up the book, he immediately frowned and lay lazily on the table.

"No, the thought of three feet of parchment gives me no energy at all."

"You need to immerse yourself in it, otherwise the homework will never be finished." Ryan said, "Of course, I also took advantage of a little loophole. You can make horizontal lines on the parchment like me, which is both beautiful and empty. Take a lot of space and write less words."

"You are still smart!" Justin did it immediately, drew a line on the parchment, and then stood up, "Okay, let's stop here today and write tomorrow!"

Ryan narrowed his eyes and looked at him without saying a word.

"Don't be like this, Ryan, it's not due until next week anyway." Justin scratched his head, "And I can't write it now."

"I bet you'll be scrambling for your paper into the weekend."

"Write it tomorrow, I will definitely write it tomorrow! Let's get here first today." Justin couldn't help but pull up Ryan, "The school is still waiting for us to explore!"

Ryan didn't force it. He packed up his books and went back to the dormitory with Justin to put away his things.

"Go to the kitchen first, go to the kitchen first!" Justin said impatiently, "Just in time for dinner."

"The house elves are in charge of the kitchen. They are a little shy and may be frightened. Don't be too surprised." Ryan led him to the still life painting. "Tick this pear, and a doorknob will appear."

Ryan walked into the kitchen, and as expected, there was a lot of excitement again.

"Babu, you can't do this." Ryan sighed, "More and more Hufflepuff wizards will come over in the future, and it's not good to scare you every time."

"Good afternoon, Mr. Franklin." Barb stood up, "We don't like to appear in front of others, so we're very sorry."

"We can agree on a secret code." Ryan rolled his eyes, "How about Helga Hufflepuff? If we want to come in, just knock on the kitchen door with this rhythm, and you will know it is me."

"Of course, sir!" Babu said in surprise, "That way Babu won't have to worry."

Ryan nodded and introduced Justin: "This is Justin Finch-Fletchley, who is from the same college as me. Let's have dinner together today."

"Hello, Mr. Finch-Fletchley." Babu bowed to the end, "What do you want?"

"Ryan, I want to eat the golden kind you said on the train..."

"Okay, Justin, although I don't recommend you eat fried food at night, but who made me agree to it? Don't blame me for gaining weight." Ryan joked, and then guided the elves to load the food and hang it. I fried a chicken cutlet.

"It smells so good!" Justin chewed.

"Who told me not to talk while eating?" Ryan said with a smile, "But you don't have to eat so boldly, right?"

Justin swallowed the food, wiped his mouth, and then said slowly: "My father doesn't like me eating these things, and what you make is really delicious."

"I think it may be a problem with the ingredients." Ryan said, "Your father is right, this is not a healthy food."

"Speaking of health," Justin frowned, "I can't think of many happy memories."

"Actually, there are a lot of delicious and healthy things in my secret recipe." Ryan looked at Justin's doubtful eyes and raised the corners of his mouth, "First-grade tofu, crystal shrimp, sweet and sour short ribs, white chicken, water Boiled fish fillet, Kung Pao chicken, Mapo tofu, meat casserole..."

Justin didn't understand a word, but that didn't stop his eyes from getting brighter and brighter.

"Where did you learn so many delicious things?"

Ryan smiled: "My grandfather is Chinese."

"You're so lucky," Justin said.

Lane ate some bread and milk, and before leaving, Barb carefully asked Lane if he could leave the recipe for fried chicken.

"This is a very common dish for Muggles." Ryan said, "I don't have a patent on these recipes, and you don't need to ask my permission."

"No, it's already a great gift that you can bring these recipes." Barb cried with joy. "Hogwarts still uses the recipes left by the great Ms. Hufflepuff 1000 years ago."

"Then I'd love to add something new to these recipes," Lane said.

He and Justin left the kitchen with the elf's many thanks.

"Don't you think their attitude is a little strange?" Justin asked, "It doesn't look like respect, but a little fear and panic."

"You don't want to know the reasons," said Ryan. "They will be told in the history of magic."

"You'd better tell me, I'm afraid I can't defeat Professor Binns' hypnosis."

Ryan told him the history of house elves being enslaved, and finally sighed: "Compared to magical contracts or unbreakable oaths, the more terrifying restraint is ideological slavery and oppression."

Justin nodded in confusion. For a child born into a powerful Muggle family like him, these topics were too far away after all.But he still experienced some of the depression and powerlessness revealed in the elf's history.

"Maybe there's something we can do," Justin said.

"It's better not to get into trouble. Speaking of which, they can also be called war slaves. The twists and turns here are not 01:30." Ryan shook his head, "The most we can do is to the elves in Hogwarts. Good points, other things, the more you do, the more you make mistakes.”

The history of elves made both of them feel a little gloomy, so after memorizing the locations of most classrooms, Ryan and Justin returned to the Hufflepuff common room.

"Where have you been?" Ernie brought a large group of Hufflepuff wizards around, including many senior students.

"Franklin, I heard, well done!" Bernard laughed loudly, "If it weren't for the fear of deducting points, I would have wanted to beat those Slytherin guys a long time ago."

"This is not a good thing." Cedric said immediately, "However, I still support you in doing this, Ryan. Malfoy's behavior is more worthy of blame."

"I was so angry at the time." Ryan smiled bitterly, "When Professor McGonagall came over, I almost thought I was going to be fired."

Justin curled his lips crazily and said it as if it was true.

"Professor McGonagall's fairness is obvious to all." Cedric said seriously, "Ryan, you are doing the right thing. If Malfoy dares to trouble you, you must tell us."

"That's right!" Bernard said, "Seniors can't watch their own people being bullied. We Hufflepuffs have no other advantages, except that we have a lot of people. I want to see which Slytherin dares to mess with you."

This remark immediately aroused a response.

Seeing the shining eyes of a group of young wizards, Ryan was deeply moved, and he solemnly thanked everyone.

That's why he came to Hufflepuff.

The large number of people is not only to hide one's strength and bide one's time, but more importantly, the large number of people itself represents strength.

Not all of these people have outstanding talents, and not many of them have outstanding courage, but even the most ordinary people can become a vast ocean when gathered together.
