Ancient Wizards Return to Hogwarts

Chapter 346 Let’s Get to Know Each Other Again. My Name Is Helga Hufflepuff

Chapter 346 Let's get to know each other again. My name is Helga Hufflepuff

Helga didn't care about Cedric's thoughts, but nagging like an old lady: "Only recognized children can enter here, and they are also called heirs by the founders..."

She glanced at Cedric: "Diggory, you are recognized."

Cedric felt his mouth dry and his heart was beating so fast that it almost flew out of his chest. After a long time, he replied: "Isn't it too hasty to choose me as the heir just based on a pinball game?"

Hufflepuff laughed happily.

"Aren't you afraid that I will really think it's too hasty after serious consideration, and then erase your memory and cancel your heir qualification?"

Cedric was stunned, but soon he breathed a sigh of relief: "That's great, you'd better consider this matter carefully."

He was really relieved. When he knew that he would become the heir of Hufflepuff College, his first reaction was indeed extremely excited. But he soon calmed down and quickly realized the responsibility hidden behind this seemingly attractive title.

"Heir" sounds very domineering. Getting this title seems to make you the master of Hogwarts, but what is the price? You will be bound to the college. Once you cannot live up to this title, the reputation of the college will be damaged!

Cedric loves his college, and he will never allow himself to become a person who discredits the name of Hufflepuff because of vanity.

Of course, the main reason is that Professor White's way of selecting people seems too hasty to Cedric - although he is the only one in the whole college who has passed the level, it seems that playing marbles well is not something to be proud of? If a more rigorous, complex and authoritative assessment method is used to select, he will never refuse the responsibility that falls on his shoulders after standing out from it.

Cedric has now figured it out that he has picked up a "huge fortune" because of good luck. Professor White is a witch from ancient times. She may have experienced the era of the Big Four. Judging from her attitude towards this place and her magic skills, Cedric believes that she is very likely to be the heir chosen by Hufflepuff.

Then she should be calmer! Cedric thought of Dumbledore, and wondered in his heart why these legendary wizards seemed so unreliable one by one?

Cedric's answer shocked Hufflepuff. It was the first time she encountered someone who advised her to think carefully after being chosen as the heir. She didn't know if the other three had encountered this situation, but it was her first time.

She sorted out her thoughts a little and found that she seemed to be careless in Cedric's eyes. So she started to explain.

"That's not an ordinary marble game! It's an alchemical prop that reflects the students' magical talent. Don't look at it as just a wooden box. I bet no one in the entire magic world can make it now!" Helga said confidently.

She really didn't brag. That wooden box was really only made by her. This is her area of ​​expertise. Salazar and Rowena may not be able to do it, and they need to put in a lot of effort if they want to do it.

However, Cedric's response to her made her feel relieved: This child is not dazzled by the glory brought by the heir, very good!

Salazar, Rowena, do you have such a good heir? !

"Okay." Cedric pursed his lips. He didn't know what the magical talent had to do with the wooden box, but his grades were indeed good, so Professor White's judgment should be accurate... right?

Suppressing the uneasiness in his heart, Cedric followed Professor White to move underground.

After walking for about five minutes, a thick white fog appeared in front of them. The fog was so thick that it was like a ball of cotton, completely covering the road behind the fog.

"Don't be nervous, just walk straight forward and walk in quickly." After Helga and Cedric said something, they walked straight into the thick fog.

Cedric stood in front of the fog, he was a little nervous, but the attraction brought by "Hufflepuff's Dungeon" and "Heir" suppressed all these emotions. He took a deep breath and stepped into the thick fog.

As soon as he entered, he immediately realized that this was fake fog, because the fog was not wet at all. Cedric held his breath and walked forward. After a few steps, his eyes suddenly lit up and he entered an extremely open space.

In front of him was an endless field full of crops. There were several small protrusions on the horizon that looked like houses.

"Professor White, is this the Hufflepuff dungeon?" Cedric was a little confused. Weren't they just underground in Hogwarts Castle? How did they suddenly run to such a place? Was it a magic like a door key?

He looked up and found that the sky above his head was real, and there was the sun at the top of the sky.

"Yes." Helga snapped her fingers, and Cedric's eyes blurred. The endless field in front of him turned into an antique little village. A group of people dressed like they ran out of an oil painting walked past them, talking and laughing. The presence of the two did not affect them at all, as if they were invisible.

Helga looked at the scene around her, her heart filled with joy: It seems that my magic is quite reliable. This system has been running independently for a thousand years without any problems!

She clapped her hands gently, and the time around her seemed to stop. Everyone stopped and stood still, like a machine that had been shut down.

Cedric opened his eyes wide: Is this some kind of magical time magic?

As if seeing through Cedric's heart, Helga continued, "It's not time magic. All the 'people' you see are actually puppets, just like the puppets I showed in the Defense Against the Dark Arts class, but most of them don't know magic."

Cedric: !!!

He heard his father mention that the Ministry of Magic was interested in buying some puppets from Professor White. At that time, Professor White said that the puppets could be used for a hundred years without being damaged.

Now it seems that she is really modest. The puppets here have been running for at least several centuries!

Cedric's first reaction was that the Ministry of Magic made a lot of money. Although the starting price of the puppets seemed extremely amazing, these things could run for centuries, as if they were free of charge.

But isn't this the Hufflepuff dungeon? Why are they all Professor White's puppets?

At this time, a mysterious smile appeared on Hufflepuff's face: "Cedric, let me introduce myself again. My name is Helga Hufflepuff."
