Hogwarts: My name is the Unforgivable Curse

Chapter 8 Disguisemagus’ Celebration

After the school song was completed with the dancing demons, the opening banquet finally came to an end. The students also formed their own teams and left the auditorium. A tall girl with pink hair led the Hufflepuff team through the Great Hall all the way down to a remote corner, where there was a pile of large wooden barrels placed on a dark stone trough.

"Um?"

Avada was surprised to find that the red radiance on the girl's body, which meant that the structure of her life force was much more complex than the others, was also more closely related to her spiritual power. Based on Avada's years of experience in studying magic and observing the structure of magic, the purpose of those extra structures in her life seems to be...transformation?

"New students, pay attention." She reminded with a clear voice: "This is the entrance to our Hufflepuff common room. If you want to enter the common room, you must follow the rhythm of 'Helga Hufflepuff' Tap the bottom of the second barrel in the middle of the second row, like this..."

As she spoke, she stretched out her hand and knocked on the barrel seven times. Suddenly the barrel lid rotated open, revealing a passage leading to the basement.

“If the person trying to gain entry didn’t strike to the right tune, struck the wrong barrel, or struck the wrong number of times, the lid of the other barrel would open and the intruder would be doused with vinegar.” The tall girl reminded.

Avada's eyes lit up when she heard this: "Then if we want to cook by ourselves and we still lack ingredients, can we use this trick to collect the vinegar?"

He is very good at making dumplings!

"self-taught!"

The tall girl smiled happily: "Congratulations, you have discovered the main source of vinegar used in Hufflepuff picnics and tea parties!"

"But the type of vinegar obtained in this way is random." Cedric on the side added: "Sometimes it is apple vinegar, sometimes it is black grape vinegar, and sometimes it is coconut vinegar, white vinegar..."

"Two years ago, someone even got a large vat of balsamic vinegar. At that time, the whole Hufflepuff was boiling. The next three consecutive picnics were all luxurious Italian dishes, and even Slytherins were attracted to eat! "

Avada:…

"However, this also means that not every vinegar obtained is satisfactory, so when you encounter vinegar that you don't want, you can provide it to the house elves in the kitchen, or save it for later use."

Gabriel Truman said as he walked into the passage first: "Go back to the lounge quickly, don't forget there is a banquet tonight!"

"There's still a party?"

Avada and the other first-year students asked in surprise, but only got a mysterious smile in return. In desperation, he had no choice but to follow everyone to the Hufflepuff common room.

It was a large, plain, round room with a low ceiling. Through the round window, you can also see the swaying grass and dandelions outside the window. There must be plenty of sunshine during the day. The room is decorated with lots of polished copper and lush plants either hanging from the ceiling or placed on the windowsills.

There is also a large honey-colored wooden mantelpiece in the middle of the wall, carved with the image of a badger. There is also a portrait of Helga Hufflepuff, the founder of the house, hanging above the fireplace. Soft sofas and armchairs are scattered around the fireplace, all in yellow and black fabrics.

Before Avada could take a closer look at the lounge, she was interrupted from her thoughts by an excited voice:

"Hufflepuffs, celebrate!"

A young man with curly brown hair and a face full of freckles jumped in front of the fireplace with a loud voice that startled Avada. He raised his arms gracefully and said loudly in an aria like reciting a sonnet:

"The new Auror was finally born after four years of vacancy! She is the eldest sister of Hufflepuff. She is not a prefect but is better than a prefect. She is an ever-changing disguise magus who doesn't like to be read out in full. Famous..."

"N-Tonks!"

Under the threatening look of the tall girl, Tonks, he shuddered, forcibly suppressed the words that were about to burst out of his mouth, and then continued to read as if nothing had happened:

"In the past summer vacation, she finally passed the assessment of the Auror Office and became a trainee Auror. She was also the first Auror born in Hufflepuff in twenty years. As long as she can obtain five N.E.W.T.s this year. With the certificate, there will be no obstacles in her path to becoming an Auror!"

"Ha, 'Newt' certificate!"

Someone below laughed and said: "Maybe you can ask your grandfather to issue the certificate to her directly, Luo Fe!"

"This is Rolf Scamander, fourth grade." Cedric suppressed a smile and explained in a low voice to Avada: "He is the grandson of the famous magical zoologist Newt Scamander, and His grandfather’s name happens to be the same as the abbreviation for the Ultimate Wizarding Exam, so everyone often teases him about it.”

"Maybe you can also give him a fire salamander. He happened to be studying this recently." (Note)

Amid a burst of laughter, Rolf Scamander waved his hands as usual and stepped back, giving up the center position to the real protagonist Tonks.

"Let me tell you about the situation first."

She said happily, her hair turning bright red: "In the first half of this year, I will go to the Auror office for six months of training, so I won't be able to meet you. I'm afraid I won't be able to attend the Defense Against the Dark Arts class. It’s time to stop. I hope this year’s new professor can teach you well!”

"After Christmas, I will come back to take courses in the second half of the semester and prepare to take the N.E.W.T. exam. But that's just a formality..."

She smiled sheepishly, paused for a moment, and then said, "Anyway, the Auror Office recruited me because of my talent for Metamorphosis, and it has little to do with my test scores."

There was a burst of good-natured laughter in the lounge.

"But don't worry about me, idiot. After all, everyone knows my level of defense." She continued, her expression gradually becoming full of admiration:

"And as the mysterious man has been dead for ten years, more and more Death Eater remnants have been arrested. The British magical world has become safer and safer, and there will be fewer and fewer places where Aurors can be used. Maybe in a few years, All Aurors will be idle because all the dark wizards have been captured and the wizarding world is completely at peace!"

"Yeah, I really hope there will be such a day."

Rolf sighed at the side, and then waved his wand, making a large glass of butterbeer appear in front of everyone: "Don't keep it secret, I contacted the house elf to secretly prepare this. Professor Sprout knows that it is not related." I cannot be confined."

"Peace then!" Tonks raised her glass.

"Peace!"

The Hufflepuffs below drank the butterbeer in one gulp, and the new students followed suit without realizing it - it tasted pretty good.

"Let me reveal a little secret by the way."

Tonks turned her hair into the same tawny color as butterbeer, and lowered her voice mysteriously: "According to the people in the Auror office, the savior who defeated the mysterious man when he was just born, Harry Potter Special, will come to Hogwarts next year."

"I'm really sorry that I can't see him in person. You guys have to admire his grace for me."

She shook her hair and raised the cup that had been filled for some time: "Happy Harry Potter!"

"Happy Harry Potter!"

The Hufflepuffs once again enjoyed a large glass of butterbeer.

"Okay, that's it for today. The freshmen haven't had time to identify their dormitories yet." Tonks wiped the corners of her mouth and smiled heartily: "Tomorrow I will go to the Ministry of Magic to start training as an Auror trainee. Best wishes. I wish you all a safe and smooth new school year, and I wish the new students can integrate into Hufflepuff and feel the happiness and warmth of our house."

"I also wish you can pass the test smoothly and have peace after work!"

Rolf smiled, raised his glass, and shouted, "Best wishes Tonks!"

The Hufflepuffs all raised their glasses: Congratulations to Tonks! "

After the third glass of butterbeer, the small dinner in the common room came to an end. The old students reluctantly said goodbye to Tonks and returned to the dormitory. Cedric, Truman and others were responsible for guiding the new students, leading Avada and the others to understand the various facilities, and gave them first-semester certificates. After the class schedule, they were taken to their respective dormitories.

After two consecutive banquets, they were exhausted and didn't want to talk any more. They all put on their pajamas and fell asleep.

Note: For the two exams at Hogwarts, owls means "owl" and newt means "salamander"
