"Okay, get some rest early, I won't go in!" John patted Neville on the shoulder at the entrance to the Hufflepuff lounge.
Hufflepuff's dormitories and common rooms can be said to be the most distinctive of the four houses.
Like Slytherin's dormitory, it is located in the underground space of the castle, but it is not completely underground.
Because although it is located in the underground part of the castle, one side is on the cliff face of the castle close to the Black Lake. Therefore, although it is underground, compared to Slytherin's dormitory, the sunshine here is quite abundant and the scenery is very beautiful. .
As soon as you open the window, there is a beautiful view of the lake.
(The red circle is the location of the Badger Yard Lounge)
The entrance to the Badger Yard Lounge is also very interesting. It is not a formal door, but among a pile of large barrels next to the kitchen.
Neville nodded, and then knocked on the second barrel from the bottom in the middle of the second row in the row of wooden barrels next to him, according to the rhythm of "Helga Hufflepuff", and soon the door opened. opened.
John nodded with satisfaction when he saw the door open, which showed that Neville's mind was indeed much better than before, at least he didn't hit the wrong rhythm.
As a safety device for Hufflepuff students, if the wrong bucket is knocked or the wrong number of times is knocked, the bucket next to it will explode, and the intruder will be showered with vinegar.
If it were Neville from before, John felt that he might not be able to master the sequence of tapping without dozens of exercises.
In other words, Harry and Hermione were always by his side, so he avoided this trouble.
"Neville, are you back?" Neville entered the common room along the barrel and heard two tired voices greeting him.
At first glance, who is it if it's not Hermione and Harry?
Although the school has a curfew at ten o'clock, it is not allowed in the lounge and dormitories.
If students are not afraid of being punished by professors for falling asleep in class, no one will care about them even if they stay up all night.
"Have you been waiting for me here?" Seeing the two people who had obviously been waiting for him, Neville was suddenly moved again.
Ever since he was a child, no friends of the same age like Hermione and Harry cared about him so much.
"Actually, not really. I can just give this guy some tutoring on Potions, so that he won't be picked on by Professor Snape next time but can't do anything about it!" Hermione waved the Potions Introduction in her hand nonchalantly.
Harry scratched his head slightly embarrassed.
Although Harry in this time and space, because he met John and Hermione early, he is not as ignorant of everything in the magical world as in the original plot. He is even influenced by Hermione and does a little preview before each class. .
But it would be too difficult for him to memorize every subject and knowledge point like Hermione.
So when Snape deliberately made things difficult for him in Potions class today, he still got embarrassed.
But this was also because he didn't know that Snape would make things difficult for him.
Now that he knew, and also knew why Snape was making things difficult for him, he naturally didn't want to hold back the academy, so he was cruel - not to mention other subjects, but in the Potions class, he was determined not to give any Snape found an opportunity to make things difficult for him.
Even so, they were indeed waiting for Neville, and they were just learning a little while waiting.
Neville knew this too.
"By the way, let's not talk about this anymore. Are you hungry? We left a little snack for you!" Hermione pointed to the dinner plate on the table.
This is the good thing about Hufflepuff, because the kitchen is right next to it, so there is no need to wander around at night. Just knock on the wall and the house elf in the kitchen will bring food to you.
I don't know if it was due to John's influence. In this time and space, Hermione, who entered the Badger Yard and met the house elves, did not seem to show any intention of fighting for the rights of the house elves.
"Ah, when you tell me, I really feel a little hungry!" Neville's eyes suddenly lit up as he looked at the snacks on the plate.
Although the Holy Light is miraculous, it is not to the extent that people can escape from the world, especially when they are growing up at this age.
It had been so long since dinner time, and Neville was already hungry, especially when John sent him back through the kitchen passage and smelled the aroma wafting from the kitchen, which made him even more hungry.
It's just that he didn't feel embarrassed to show it around John.
But now that I'm back in the lounge, I don't have any worries.
He immediately picked up the snacks and ate them.
Upon seeing this, Hermione and Harry also smiled at each other and continued reading.
After Neville finished eating, the three of them officially went their separate ways and went back to their respective dormitories to sleep.
On the other hand, after John sent Neville back to the common room, he smelled the vague aroma of the kitchen next to him and felt a little hungry.
But he didn't have as many scruples as Neville, so he walked directly into the kitchen.
If they were students, the house elves might just give them some ready-made snacks or something.
But for professors like John, house elves don't dare to neglect him. Basically, John can eat whatever he wants as long as he can do it.
Of course, John was not picky, so he also ordered a glass of Hogwarts special wine, a veal steak, and a roast chicken.
Then enjoy it leisurely and watch a show.
What show are you watching? Of course, it’s looking at his own incarnation as a doll.
Because at this time, his avatar was preparing to lead a group of subordinates he had conquered during this period to gather in Knockturn Alley, preparing to rob Gringotts, which is known as the safest place in the wizarding world.
As for the purpose, of course it was the Hufflepuff Gold Cup placed in the vault of Bellatrix Lestrange, a Death Eater.
And it was different from the stealth theft by Quirrell and Harry and others in the original time and space a month ago.
John's incarnation as a puppet was prepared, but it was actually a forced invasion.
If it were before, John would definitely not do such a crazy thing.
After all, Gringotts is known as the safest place in the world besides Hogwarts, so there must be two brushes.
Even if the incarnation of a doll has 70% of the strength of his original form, it is still difficult to force his way in.
But the existence of the dark artifact of Xal'atas and the Phoenix Arc that he had drawn before gave John the confidence to break through.
That's right, John gave Phoenix O to the Avatar Doll as his "Twilight Lord" pet.
In fact, if it were a black dragon, it would be more suitable. It's just a pity that what John drew before was just a black dragon egg.
So I had to make do with Phoenix Ao.
Anyway, no one has seen Phoenix Ao since he was extracted.
As for the appearance of the Phoenix, will it arouse the Ministry of Magic's suspicion of Dumbledore - after all, only members of the Dumbledore family have historically been able to summon the Phoenix.
John said he believed Dumbledore could handle it!
Of course, some people may doubt him, after all, his flame bird is somewhat similar to a phoenix.
However, this probability is not high. After all, the appearance of the two can only be said to be slightly similar, but the actual difference is quite big.
