Hogwarts: Why do you call me the Demon King?

Roast beef, roast chicken, pork chops, lamb chops, sausage, steak, roast potatoes...

Cedric enthusiastically used tongs to pick up a large piece of roast beef for Isaac.

"This roast beef is tender and delicious, a Hogwarts specialty, you must try it!"

Eating alone is quite different from eating with a group of people. When Isaac ate ​​with the little wizards of Hufflepuff, he felt that his appetite had improved a lot.

He had never eaten this much when he was alone at Hogwarts during his holidays.

Isaac ate ​​his way through appetizers, main courses, and desserts, and now he's sipping a glass of freshly squeezed orange juice to aid digestion.

After the last young wizard finished his meal, Hufflepuff's long table was spotless, as if no food had ever been there.

Dumbledore stood up again, and the Great Hall fell silent once more.

"Now that everyone has eaten and drunk their fill, I want to say a few more words. At the beginning of the semester, I would like to point out a few things to keep in mind."

First-year students, please note that the wooded area on the school grounds is off-limits to all students. Some of our older students should also remember this.

At that moment, not only Dumbledore, but also Professor McGonagall and several other professors subconsciously looked toward the Gryffindor table.

There was a pair of conspicuous twin brothers pretending to be innocent.

That's what word-of-mouth is all about.

"Furthermore, Mr. Filch, the administrator, also asked me to remind everyone not to cast spells in the hallways during breaks."

The selection process for Quidditch players will take place in the second week of this semester. Students who are interested in joining the college team should contact Ms. Hodge.

Finally, I must tell everyone that anyone who does not wish to encounter an accident and die a painful death should not enter the corridor on the right side of the fourth floor.

Upon hearing this, Isaac suddenly looked up.

In the original timeline, the fourth-floor right-hand corridor that Dumbledore described as a place where people would die a horrible death was actually a fishing activity with a straight hook and salty bait.

Dumbledore took out the Philosopher's Stone to lure Voldemort into a trap.

At the same time, this is also a fairytale adventure unique to the savior's little team.

The team worked together to solve the puzzles, which involved sacrifices and responsibilities.

In the final test, Dumbledore used the Mirror of Erised to probe Harry's character and used Quirrell's life and Voldemort's life to verify the effectiveness of Lily's love spell.

For Dumbledore, he achieved multiple purposes using an empty room and an underground space, truly maximizing its utilization.

Then the problem is coming.

Now, Voldemort's spirits have all been destroyed by Dumbledore, and the Horcruxes hidden in Hogwarts have been burned by Professor Venda.

Why did Dumbledore make such a straight hook?

Could it be that he's just trying to hook up with Harry?

“Gabbie, what does Professor Dumbledore mean by this?” Cedric’s expression was no longer sunny; it was filled with seriousness.

The main reason is that Dumbledore's words are quite frightening.

Dumbledore orchestrated such agonizing and gruesome deaths; how could it not be terrifying?

It's like someone who has never lied in their entire life standing in front of everyone and telling them that they have a gun with bullets in it, and they plan to randomly select a lucky audience member to shoot.

Who can disbelieve it? Who dares to disbelieve it?

Gabriel's initial expression was as serious as Cedric's, but he quickly became much more relaxed.

“Cedric, you’ve forgotten we’re Hufflepuffs, not Gryffindors.” Gabriel smiled as if he hadn’t said anything, yet it also seemed like he had said everything.

"Yes," Cedric suddenly realized, "Gabbie is absolutely right!"

What is the essence of Hogwarts?

Some say it's Gryffindor because the current headmaster and vice-headmaster are both from Gryffindor.

The headmaster's wall is adorned with pictures of headmasters who have graduated from Gryffindor.

Some say it's Slytherin, the aristocratic college of the British wizarding world. Descendants of pure-blood families often consider it an honor to enter Slytherin.

Because their parents graduated from there.

Of course, some people say it's Ravenclaw, because the young wizards who enter there are all very intelligent, and you can't do without smart people if you want to change the world.

But in Isaac's view, the wizards of Hufflepuff were followers that no leader would refuse.

This is practically the epitome of a good kid in the magical world—the most obedient, the most compliant, the most stable, and the least susceptible to pressure.

The Sorting Hat sorted the young wizards who were brave, impulsive, and capable of saying "I have an idea" on their own without needing two other wizards, all to Gryffindor.

The pure-blood wizards who prided themselves on their lineage were assigned to Slytherin.

Send the smart people to Ravenclaw.

Of course, this is not to say that smart people are bad, but that once a person is smart, they will think more, and once they think more, they will have their own ideas.

If you give the same task to a very reliable person, they will carry it out step by step. There may not be any great surprises, but there will also be no unexpected events.

Even if some issues arise, most of them are within the scope of the contingency plan.

Entrusting it to a smart person might lead to a better completion of the task due to their flashes of inspiration. However, if they cause problems, it will most likely be a problem with their "smartness."

This problem was definitely not included in the contingency plan.

In fact, Dumbledore had already demonstrated this to Isaac.

Who was he sent to "save the world"? It was Newt Scamander, the legendary Hufflepuff dropout.

"Hey, don't say that, Gabby."

If Professor Dumbledore hears you say that, it will hurt him!

"The Gryffindor prefects must be having a real headache," Isaac said, his face full of barely concealed seriousness.

"Oh? Will Dumbledore really be sad?"

Gabriel asked a question in return, and then realized that he couldn't hold back anymore, while Isaac and Cedric were also about to break down and reveal smiles like Zhou Yu.

“I will issue the instructions in my capacity as prefect, so there’s no need to worry about the upperclassmen,” Gabriel said after exchanging knowing smiles with the unfortunate Gryffindor prefect and student council president.

“Then I’ll handle the notifications for the second and third graders.” Cedric was well aware of his prestige among the Hufflepuff students.

In addition, the young wizards at Hufflepuff are not the overconfident peers they once were.

"Leave the first-year students to me; we'll be quite familiar with each other after tonight."

"Well... I can't help with the girls."

Back in the dorm, it wasn't difficult for the boys in the same grade to have a team-building activity, but Isaac was powerless to do so in the girls' dorm.

So what if he's a freshman? Even a freshman going into the girls' dormitory is considered indecent.

Chapter 72 Dormitory "Terrifying"

After Dumbledore finished speaking, all the students began to sing the Hogwarts school song, which only had lyrics and no melody.

Or rather, the ability to choose any melody greatly benefits all tone-deaf people.

It's just that my ears are suffering a bit.

Isaac's ears, after being subjected to Hogwarts-style bullying, were finally freed.

All students can now return to their dormitories.

The Hufflepuff students followed their prefect from the Great Hall to the underground kitchen, which was located in a shadowy stone recess to the right of the kitchen entrance, facing a pile of large wooden barrels.

Look, the entrances to other people's college lounges are all marked with landmarks.

Only Hufflepuff uses the kitchen as the entrance marker.

No wonder Hufflepuff's lounge has never been entered by outsiders for thousands of years.

However, Isaac really liked that the lounge was close to the kitchen.

He's at the age where he's growing, and as the saying goes, a half-grown boy can outdo his father.

After leaving Hogwarts, where else could he find a team of hundreds of skilled housekeepers, cooks, and magicians to serve him alone?

The prefect struck the barrel lid with the rhythm of Helga Hufflepuff, and the lid popped open, revealing a short, upward-sloping, earthy passage.

The young wizards slipped through the passage and walked a few steps to the Hufflepuff common room, a round, low-ceilinged, warm yellow badger den-style space.

The lounge features a bright honey yellow and black color scheme, with the tables and round doors leading to the male and female dormitories made of polished honey-colored wood.

The lush and colorful plants throughout the room perfectly complement the atmosphere: curved wooden frames adorn the walls, displaying various cacti, many of which seem to wave and sway at passersby.

Copper-bottomed flowerpots hang from the ceiling, with tendrils of ferns and ivy cascading down, brushing against your hair as you walk by.

The fireplace mantel is made of wood and carved with dancing badgers, with a portrait of the founder, Helga Hufflepuff, hanging above it—she is raising a small, double-handled gold cup to toast her students.

The room has a small round window at the bottom, level with the ground outside the castle. Looking out, you can see swaying grass and dandelions, and occasionally you can see footsteps passing by.

Even though the windows are low, the room is always filled with sunlight.

After Gabriel, representing the student management team, reminded the young wizards not to be late for class the next day, he let them disperse on their own.

Those who wish to have extra food in the kitchen can do so, while those who wish to chat in the lounge can do so.

However, the first-year wizards were all eager to see what their dormitories looked like.
