Chapter 290 The Underground City Of Helga

"Um... breakfast..."

Elena rubbed her eyes, holding the owl "pillow" to her chest with one hand, and sleepily got out of bed.

Even though it was already the second week after leaving the orphanage, Elena still woke up early out of habit, and her small white feet swung and grabbed her shoes next to the bed, subconsciously preparing to go to the kitchen to make breakfast.

Without touching the imaginary cold wooden floor, the soft, long-haired carpet in the common room gently brushed the feet of the small mixed Meiwa, warm and not hot, as if stepping on the meadow in the afternoon.

"Oh, now I'm at Hogwarts."

Elena yawned, murmured to herself, and looked around sleepily.

It was still early, and through the semicircular windows in the ceiling, it was still dark outside.

In the dormitory, there are dozens of soft canopy beds neatly arranged, and the warm light from the copper lamps spills onto the canopy beds covered with patchwork sheets. Because the weather was not too cold, the bed heater at the foot of the bed for people with cold feet had not been activated.

Hannah in the next bed was still curled up holding a pillow, her small face flushed and muttering dreams, like a drunk koala, making you want to gently touch her face or give her a nibble.

The Hufflepuff dormitory is recognized as the most comfortable place in the school. The close-to-nature design and the warm and insulating underground floor always allow the young badgers to fall asleep more easily than the young wizards of the tower (like the Gryffindor and Ravenclaw houses), or living at the bottom of the lake (Slytherin house).

Elena hesitated for a moment and finally didn't have the heart to interrupt Hannah's rare sleep, taking the reserve grain and ducking through the circular passage to the empty public hall, after another hour or two, this will become the liveliest and busiest place in Hogwarts, with no one.

The ceiling of the Hufflepuff common room is very low. Looking from the circular window above, you can see the grass and dandelions swaying. The magical window ensures that no matter the weather outside, the sun will always arrive promptly in the basement and bathe the entire common room in warm and comfortable morning light.

On the windowsill, there are three or four pots of interesting plants, most of which were brought by the Herbology professor, Pomona Sprout.

However, some of the plants that the Hufflepuff students planted themselves, like the "Lily" plant that Elena obtained in the Herbology class, were placed on the edge of the windowsill in the middle.

In the center of the common room is a large honey-colored wooden shelf with four or five roasting forks on the side. The coat of arms is carved on the fireplace. And above the fireplace, there is a portrait of the school's founder, Helga Hufflepuff; it's a pity that Ms. Hufflepuff in the painting has no more actions or conversations other than smiling and staring while holding a golden cup.

On the small round table in front of the fireplace, there were several open books scattered about, as if time was still there the night before, when Elena and Hannah yawned, thinking intently about how to make up a story.

Elena leaned over, picked up the borrowed books from the library one by one, stood up, and unconsciously tucked the envelope into her robe pocket, and the thick parchment folded in a box gave her a reassuring feeling.

After a night of hard work, she finally wrote an anonymous announcement with rigorous wording, threats, and temptations.

The only problem now is that she cannot act too urgently.

Like experienced hunters in the mountains, Elena also needs to patiently wait for the Lovegood family's first response, and then gradually destroy their unrealistic ideas, but giving them new hope.

Only in this way can she inadvertently show them the only path to the correct conclusion.

Elena's fingers tap the yellow and black armchairs thoughtfully, it would be better to convince Mr. Lovegood that this was his own choice after all, as she was going to want to become good friends with Luna.

But in this way, it seemed that she didn't have much to do for a short time.

"Or, take this opportunity to explore the Hufflepuff common room?"

Elena raised her head and looked around at the circular passages around the common room, her eyes hesitating.

"Hogwarts, a piece of school history," records more than just historical events. In fact, the book also mentions to some extent the common rooms of the various houses. Since Hufflepuff is the house with the most graduates, information about the Hufflepuff common room is naturally the most complete.

Just as Ravenclaw and Gryffindor have their own towers, the Hufflepuff common room cannot naturally be confined to the basement level.

In fact, the Hufflepuff common room is a complex area that extends downward, like a plant structure. Being closer to nature than any other house, the badgers seem to really have an intuition similar to badgers, and most of them have a predilection for researching and exploring caves.

Today, Elena's location is exactly the location of the main hall of the Hufflepuff common room. There are five circular passages in the main hall, one of which is the wooden barrel door that connects to the negative floor of the castle, the other two lead to the male and female dormitories, and the last two to the underground area located on the lower level.

The underground area is not dark. Fireflies born from the flames scatter like stars in each underground cave, illuminating the path of the young wizards with warm and comfortable flickers of light.

The magically transformed underground area is very large, and numerous intricate underground passages make up a vegetation system that covers almost all seasons and various regional environments. According to legend, whether they grow in wild tropical vegetation and parasitic plants, or wildflowers in the alpine area of snowy mountains, you can find the corresponding growth environment in the Hufflepuff underground area.

There are terraces and established areas set up by professors or students near each vegetation zone for collection and research. There are even plants with powerful magical properties that only bloom in specific seasons, and they are also distributed across different vegetation zones.

The older students of Hufflepuff prefer to call the underground area "The Subterranean City of Digging" because the more they look down, the more rare plants they can find, but that also means more danger.

It's a pity that since in 162, two fifth-grade students of Hufflepuff accidentally found the wild knotted vine and nearly died, the school blocked all the underground passages leading to the lower level.

Since then, no one knows how many wonderful worlds and plants are hidden in the depths of Hogwarts Castle. Students can reach the lowest position, which is the underground ice used to freeze food and plants. This is also the area that Elena most wants to reach. The collective refrigerator of the cafeteria, just thinking about it as an existence no less than heavenly.

But...

A white ball of fur frowned, looking with a small face towards the two openings of the underground area that were not far away.

She still has a little awareness of her own sense of direction, which is a bit weak. If a person ventures in haphazardly, it might be the end; she does not know where it will lead. Although theoretically, as long as she brings kitchen utensils, the underground area with abundant vegetation resources will not let her starve to death.

However, at the same time, she cannot venture alone.

Looking at the entrance of the "Subterranean City of Helga" with a distressed face, Elena swallowed hard, clenched her little fist, and vigorously shook it. Then, after forming her own team of adventurers, she must enter the lower greenhouse area to search for food, um, exploration activities.

The greatest charm of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry is that there are always countless unknown secrets to explore and discover.

Thinking of this, Elena instantly filled with energy.

However, regardless, before that, the stomach must be full.

So, today's breakfast seems to be...

Elena raised her head thoughtfully and licked her lips, exhaling a dangerous breath.
