I recite the Analects of Confucius at Hogwarts

"Let's go, let's go to the last place."

I have to say that Kong Yun was still very interested in the "last place" that Draco mentioned repeatedly but never revealed at all.This curiosity even temporarily suppressed the other complicated thoughts in his heart, and instead focused on the strange building in front of him with interest.

From the appearance, this store seems to be no different from other stores on the street. It has the same dark decoration, and the carvings on the walls are low-key and elegant and luxurious, but there are no objects that can reveal the inside information of the store. The brown door was ajar under the shadow of the lush trees. A bluebell-shaped crystal wind chime hung from the top of the door. As the door was pushed open, it made a crisp and melodious sound.

The black-haired Hufflepuff glanced very quickly across the interior of the store, with a little surprise and confusion in his eyes: "This is"

The room is neatly arranged with soft sofas, tables and chairs, some single-sized and some longer.Near the center is the bar. A middle-aged man wearing a waiter's uniform is lowering his head and concentrating on mixing a glass of dark red wine. Another man, completely hidden in a wizard's robe, is leaning on the edge of the bar and waiting. , and occasionally say a few words lazily.

It looked like the pubs he'd seen in Diagon Alley and Hogsmeade.

But if it is a bar, the whole room is completely devoid of the excitement and chaos of a bar. Instead, it is filled with a sense of warmth like a small hotel. Some wooden tables also have several plates of freshly baked biscuits, and occasionally A few books whose names are unclear.The indoor light was not too bright, but it was comfortable enough. It was like a coffee shop he had seen in the Muggle world, quiet and relaxing.

It seems as if just sitting here, there is a feeling that time has slowed down.

"The Bluebell Bar."

Perhaps because there were other people around him, Draco didn't explain too much. When he said the name of the bar, his voice was consciously lowered to the point where only the two of them could hear it.

He also succeeded in not attracting the attention of others.

Except for the middle-aged man standing behind the bar.

From the moment the two people pushed the door in, to the moment the door slowly closed again, no one turned around to look at the new guests. Only the man who was mixing the drinks paused and glanced at them.Kong Yun clearly noticed that he was pointing in the direction of himself, to be precise, the senior Slytherin beside him, and nodded politely and respectfully, as if to say hello.

Draco nodded slightly in return.

This is still a small episode.

In fact, they only stayed outside the hall for less than three seconds before Kong Yun was led by his fellow Slytherin and went directly further inside.

It can be seen that Draco is very familiar with this place, and this familiarity goes both ways. Considering the attitude of the middle-aged man at the bar, either he comes often and has become a regular visitor to this bar, or

They stopped outside a separate box.

As Draco slowly pushed open the door to the box, bright light burst out from the gradually widening gap, illuminating the corridor and clearly reflecting the scene inside the box.

Kong Yun was slightly stunned by the room in front of him.

There is no need to describe it in too much detail. In a nutshell, this is a room with a typical Slytherin style. The color of the walls and the style of the sofa are like the Slytherin common room a thousand years later. With his familiar aura.

At this time, Hogwarts was less than four years old, and it was impossible for the bar owner to specially arrange such a Slytherin-style box just because he came from Hogwarts.

In other words, there was only one possibility left: this bar belonged to Salazar Slytherin.

"I asked Professor Slytherin," Draco sat down on the sofa: "He promised me that after returning this time, we can try to explore deeper into the Forbidden Forest."

Since they unexpectedly came to this era four years ago, the two of them have never given up on the idea of ​​finding a way back. Considering that the key is the Forbidden Forest, a place listed as a forbidden area by Hogwarts, they have visited it frequently. However, due to the limitations of their own strength and the requirements of the professors, the scope of their exploration was limited to the periphery, and access to deeper areas was still prohibited.

Compared with the two people who have made zero progress so far, this is undoubtedly good news.

What should I do if I can’t go back?

Kong Yun has not considered this issue, or in other words, he is unwilling to consider this possibility.Of course there is nothing wrong with staying in this era, but after all, his relatives are in another era, and those concerns are precisely what he cannot let go of no matter what.

Now that the topic was brought up again, the two of them were silent for a moment as they thought of the possibility.

At this moment, the silent door suddenly creaked open.

The dark door was slowly pushed open, revealing a girl with long light blond hair and blue eyes.She wore an ordinary coarse cloth in the style of a waiter, but it was clean and tidy enough. She had a well-meaning smile on her lips, which was neither too cold nor too enthusiastic.

She doesn't look like a young wizard from a wealthy family, but every move she makes appears to be well-educated, calm and calm.

When Kong Yun met her eyes, he smiled at her out of habit, but a hint of disdain flashed in the girl's eyes, and soon disappeared without a trace, as if the contempt just now was an illusion.

However, when she noticed the young man on the sofa, the still reserved smile on her lips could no longer stop, and her previously indifferent eyes suddenly brightened up, adding more joy and surprise: "Uncle Waite told I can't believe how happy I am to see you again, Mr. Malfoy."

Compared to the look on the girl's face, Draco looked much colder.

"Without the permission of the room owner, he entered without permission, ran rampant, turned a blind eye to the guests, and was arrogant and rude." His face was cold, his voice was cold, and there seemed to be a layer of frost in his gray-blue eyes: "I used to be Is this what I taught you?"

Taught before

Kong Yun's heart moved slightly, but he saw the girl's expression stiffened.

Facing the platinum-blond young man's merciless scolding, the girl's eyes were slightly red, she bit her lip, then turned around and retreated.

The door was gently opened and closed again. Just when Kong Yun thought that another little girl was about to be angered by Draco, there was a clear knock on the door.

"Come in."

Following Draco's promise, the closed door was opened again. The girl with long pale blond hair lowered her head slightly and walked in slowly. There was still a faint red under her eyes, but she looked calm now. , said politely: "Good afternoon, Mr. Malfoy."

"I'm sorry, sir." She faced Kong Yun and bowed deeply: "I feel very ashamed of my rudeness just now. Please forgive me."

Regarding the girl's reaction, Draco neither said he was satisfied nor dissatisfied. In fact, his expression was still cold and expressionless at the moment, which made Kong Yun, who was originally planning to respond to the other party, also choose to remain silent. , only to hear him ask calmly: "Miss Elis, is something okay?"

He asked so straightforwardly that the girl was speechless.

Kong Yun also glanced at his friend inexplicably. In terms of popularity at Hogwarts, Draco was not far behind him. He had experienced similar things a lot, and the senior Slytherin had no reason to watch. It’s better not to think out of a girl’s mind.

Obviously, he did it on purpose.

Ignoring the girl's embarrassment and nervousness, Draco said calmly: "If you have nothing to do, just go out. We still have something to discuss."

When he said this, his tone was quite calm, but without any hint of discussion, he could tell that the tone was close to an order. The girl could only bite her lips and left unwillingly and disappointedly.

Seeing the girl suddenly appear and then disappear neatly, Kong Yun lowered his eyes slightly, hiding the indescribable unhappiness in his eyes, and casually said: "Hiring an underage wizard in a bar, does Professor Slytherin know about this?"

His tone was originally joking, but unexpectedly he didn't get any response at this moment. Kong Yun raised his head and saw a very faint smile on the corner of the young man's mouth in front of him, and his gray-blue eyes were unblinking. Staring at him, as if he had discovered something that made him feel happy.

"Draco"

Sensing the confusion and strangeness in the black-haired Hufflepuff's eyes, he stopped and got to the point simply: "When I met Elise, she was sold to slave traders by her Muggle parents. She is not old enough to enter Hogwarts, so I will let her stay here to help and go to Hogwarts when she is 11 years old."

This passage is a concise and clear explanation of the origin of Elis, but considering his words and what he just said to Elis, Kong Yun was slightly startled and blurted out: "So, this bar is Yours is not Professor Slytherin's."

"Professor Slytherin will not allow me to take in a young Muggle wizard." Draco stared at him intently, and his cold expression softened: "What's more, didn't you tell me before that you wanted to establish a special organization to help future generations? Is there an institution for adult Muggle wizards? I want to try to explore what methods and approaches are needed to establish and allow such an institution to exist for a long time."

Kong Yun looked back at him calmly. The black-haired Hufflepuff was silent for a while, and then asked: "So, what conclusion did you draw?"

Draco's eyes flickered but he didn't answer.

Kong Yun had already confirmed his guess.

It is not a simple matter to establish a structure specifically to help underage Muggle wizards. In addition to manpower and material resources, there are also financial issues that must be considered.Hogwarts survives thanks to the support of generations of wizards.

In other words, if you want this institution to continue and continue for thousands of years, it must have a long-term and effective source of financial resources. Kong Yun has already seen Draco's influence in Iris. answer:

When the little wizards are 11 years old, they will enter Hogwarts to study. In other words, this welfare institution needs to be responsible for the lives of the little wizards before the age of 11, so that the little wizards who have no relatives and are abused by their Muggle relatives Have a normal living environment and give some healthy enlightenment teachings to young Muggle wizards with harmonious families.

Before the age of 11, it is the stage when a child's personality is gradually taking shape.

For these children, the institution itself that provides them with a healthy and peaceful living environment, provides them with material, care and love, and frees them from isolation must be different from the person who occupies the largest proportion. .

When they graduate from Hogwarts one after another, master the skills of independent living, and have a certain financial strength, except for a few white-eyed wolves, most people will generally make repaying actions, and at this time, it is for them Investors who have invested financial and material resources will reap the fruits.Even if there is no real reward, these people themselves are enough to form a huge network of contacts.

Use tangible future benefits to attract funders so that the institution can survive for a long time.

Kong Yun was silent for a long time.

He thought he should hate this approach, but inexplicably, what came to his mind now was another confusion that had been buried deep in his heart:

When it comes to the opposition of Slytherin, many people will immediately think of Gryffindor, but in fact, in terms of the conflict of ideas between the two sides, Hufflepuff is the one who truly stands completely opposite to Slytherin.

And can Helga, who believes in equality, fairness and benevolence for all, and says "I am willing to teach everyone and treat them equally", really accept Salazar's blood discrimination?

However, whether it is the facts seen a thousand years ago or the clear records in the history of Hogwarts a thousand years later, the one who quarreled with Slytherin because of different ideas has always been Gryffindor, from beginning to end. , Hufflepuff never had an argument with Slytherin.

why

Really, is it just because Helga has a gentle temperament and doesn't want to argue with her friends?
