In this Hogwarts without a savior

Jon looked at Dobby with a strange expression on his face.

"Observation? Is it an aboveboard observation or a sneaky observation?"

Dobby finally exposed his face completely from behind the leaves, and said proudly.

"The master asked Dobby to observe Mr. Green secretly, but of course Dobby would not do this. Dobby knows that Dumbledore and Green are great wizards. Dobby has no way to disobey the task assigned to me by the master, but he can also Tell Mr Green about it!"

After Dobby finished saying this, his proud face suddenly turned ferocious, and he began to hit the tree trunk with his head in a self-harming manner, while screaming non-stop.

"Bad elf! Dobby is a bad elf!"

It didn't seem like he couldn't restrain this self-harming behavior, it's just that his instinctive slave mentality made him subconsciously unable to accept any behavior that betrayed his master.

Jon looked at Dobby, who hugged the tree trunk with both hands after hitting his forehead a few times, and stopped breathing, and couldn't help but think of its deeds in the original book.

The house-elf from the Malfoy family was a complete oddity among elves.

Although he also has the most basic master-servant concept between elves and wizards, this concept is under his own concept of good and evil.

That is to say, he was serving the Malfoy family, but he did not agree with what the Malfoy family did. In addition, the attitude of the Malfoy family towards elves could be said to be harsh, which made this elf He is a different kind, he doesn't like his master at all, it can even be said to hate him.

It's just that in the original book, Dobby admires Harry Potter, because he knows that Harry Potter defeated the Dark Lord and regards him as a hero.

And now at this time when there is no more Harry Potter, Dobby naturally has no object of worship, but he still respects Dumbledore and has a good impression of Jon.

So he said that he took advantage of Malfoy's order and told what he had observed, which is highly credible.

If another house elf came here, Jon would definitely be on guard. Of course, normal people would not let house elves do this kind of behavior.

"Can we come down and talk?"

Jon invited him.

It was getting dark at this time, and it was not long before the curfew started at the castle. There were no students from Hogwarts Castle on the side of the Black Lake, and only Jon was left empty.

Dobby readily accepted this, and he climbed down from the tree trunk, and came to Jon.

"How long have you been watching me from that tree?"

"Today is the first day, Mr. Green!" Dobby said, "The master just called Dobby out of the house yesterday, and the task was just assigned this morning."

"In other words, since I came to the Black Lake in the afternoon, where have you been?"

"Yes!"

Hearing his answer, Jon understood why Lucius was relieved to let Dobby spy on him.

House elves are a special magical race. Even without a wand, they can use their fingers to use magic that is completely different from wizards. If Dobby wants to hide, it will be really difficult for Jon to find him, unless he is like himself now. Come out of the tree, want Jon to find out.

Dobby seemed to realize that Jon might be minding that he had been peeping all afternoon, so he hurriedly waved his hand and said.

"But Dobby didn't intend to keep observing Mr. Green from the tree. There are many classmates of the little master in the castle by the lake. Dobby can't appear in front of them, otherwise the little master will definitely know about it."

"Of course I don't blame you for this, Dobby, and don't call me Mr. Green, just call me Jon."

Jon said casually, and then sat down on the grass.

And Dobby looked at him blankly, as if he had heard something shocking.

"Mr. Green, sir, let Dobby call his name!"

Hearing that he subconsciously raised the volume, Jon couldn't help but say.

"Don't get too excited, okay, Dobby, it's just a name, maybe it's really shocking to a bad wizard like your master, but you know, I'm a respectful, civilized and respectful person. A good wizard of quality, that's why you are willing to help me, isn't it? So don't be too surprised."

Dobby obviously listened to what Jon said. He tried his best to breathe calmly, and he seemed to have calmed down a lot, but his big eyes were still looking at Jon excitedly.

"Okay, okay, Joe, Jon!"

"Yes, that's it. Just call me Jon. Since you are willing to help me, even at the expense of disobeying your master's orders, then we are friends, aren't we? So I can call you Dobby, and of course you can call me too." Jon. Sit down, Dobby, may I ask you something about your master?"

Dobby seemed to have put in a lot of effort, and finally sat down opposite Jon, but even if he was sitting on the grass, he still looked so cramped.

"There are some things I can't say about the master. The elf has no way to betray his master unless he is abandoned."

Jon thought for a moment, then suddenly said with a smile.

"But it is reasonable for the elf to hide some things for the master, right? Then we can do this. I will ask you some questions that only need to be answered yes or no. Of course you have to lie to me in order to protect the master's secret, right? ?”

Dobby's face was blank for a few seconds at first, as if he didn't understand what Jon said, but soon his smart brain reacted, and he nodded his head vigorously immediately.

"Yes! Dobby is trying to hide the master's password, so he can't tell the truth to Jon!"

After confirming the next communication mode with Dobby, Jon quickly asked the first thing.

"Dobby's master asked Dobby to come to Hogwarts to observe Jon. Did Dobby's master know about it?"

The next moment, Dobby shook his head like a rattle, that movement was very natural, without the slightest sense of guilt.

"No! Master Dobby's master doesn't know about it!"

That is to know.

Jon knew in his heart that there were still a large number of house elves in Hogwarts castle. The elves here were supposed to be loyal to the castle, but after Voldemort became the headmaster, they were not the real house elves of the castle. Master, then he will definitely let all the elves here be loyal to him, otherwise it will definitely be a hidden danger.

And now that Dobby suddenly appeared in the castle, Voldemort could not have known about it, or Lucius didn't have the guts not to report to Voldemort.

In other words, after the first game, it was not Malfoy and his son who wanted to observe and peep at him, but Voldemort?
"After Dobby came to Hogwarts, he has no other task except to observe me, right?"

Dobby nodded happily.

"Yes, no more, Dobby's only mission is to observe Jon!"

Jon tapped his chin with his fingers, and continued to ask in thought.

"The person who gave Dobby other tasks is the master of Dobby's master, right?"

"Correct!"

Hearing this answer, Jon frowned involuntarily.

Not Voldemort?
Then it's just Lucius, what else can he ask Dobby to do?
Thinking in his heart, Jon continued to ask tentatively.

"Dobby still has a mission to protect the little master?"

"no!"

"Are these two tasks the only ones on Dobby?"

"Yes!"

"Any other tasks?" Jon couldn't guess now.

Dobby is a house elf of the Malfoy family, so Lucius should have asked him to observe him, and Voldemort agreed by the way, and it must have been Lucius' private order to Dobby to protect Draco secretly.

What else would they have Dobby do?
Voldemort should have nothing more to say. With such a haughty character, he can't even look down on the bastards, so how could he entrust some important things to the house elves.

Besides, even if he really needed the elves to do something for him, there were so many candidates in Hogwarts Castle that there was no need to borrow the Malfoys' extravagance.

That is, it can only be that Lucius has other things to arrange for Dobby.

When Jon was thinking, he raised his head and happened to meet Dobby's big bright eyes. He could feel that Dobby was looking at him expectantly.

Suddenly Jon had a thought, and he asked.

"Dobby still has a mission related to me, and it was Dobby's master who ordered him to do it?"

"wrong!"

Dobby said firmly.

This made Jon more sure of something.

"Dobby's master asked Dobby to see if he could find a chance to meet me quietly, but he didn't allow Dobby to meet me, nor did he tell Dobby why he did this?"

"no!"

Dobby answered louder, more agitated and excited.

At this time, Jon finally figured out what kind of mission Dobby was shouldering.

After talking about these things, he couldn't help showing a sneer in his heart, but he didn't express it on his face, but expressed his gratitude to Dobby from the bottom of his heart.

"Thank you for telling me this, Dobby."

"You're welcome, Dobby didn't do anything, Dobby just lied to Jon." Dobby said without any guilt in his heart, because it was only now that he told the truth, and he was indeed cheating before. jon.

A deception that every elf knows well.

After understanding some of the filth in Lucius' heart from Dobby, Jon stood up from the grass again.

"It's getting late, I'm going back to the carriage, Dobby, don't hide what happened today, if your master asks, then tell him what I did this afternoon, but the conversation we just had To hide."

"Understood! Dobby knows that he can't disobey his master's orders, but he can tell him some things later for his own good!"

"Yes, that's right, that's it."

Jon praised that Dobby was indeed different from the house elves he had seen before.

"Then goodbye, Jon, Dobby is going back too."

After Dobby finished speaking, he disappeared into the air in front of Jon.

Of course the house elves can use apparation freely within the scope of the school, but the anti-apparition here also restricts their magic, so that although they can teleport freely, they can't do anything about it. Take others with you.

Coupled with the fact that all the elves in the castle are loyal to Voldemort himself, it is equivalent to eliminating the possibility that Dumbledore and the others will take advantage of the loophole of the house elves.

In fact, privately, Jon felt that the reason why Voldemort became so wary of the magic of the house elves might have something to do with the betrayal he experienced.

A pure-blood young man surnamed Black whom he once trusted very much used the house-elf's magic to set a trap for him on an extremely crucial matter.

And now Voldemort, who has recovered the split soul in the Horcrux, must have discovered this trap, so he can basically guess who did it and how it was done.

He has already made a mistake on one thing, so a smart person like him will definitely not make a second mistake.

After Dobby left, Jon did not continue to stay by the Black Lake.

He went straight back to the horse farm that was still parked on the edge of the Forbidden Forest, and walked directly towards Dumbledore's office after entering the carriage.

Knocking on the door and walking in, he said to Dumbledore with a sarcastic smile on his face.

"Professor, we haven't won a complete victory yet, some people can't bear it anymore."

Hermione's dormitory. After reaching an agreement with Hermione at the beginning, Mrs. Gray kept her promise and never left the carriage.

And Hermione didn't hide from her that she had conducted a search in the castle, but she didn't say exactly what she was looking for.

"That is to say, you didn't find anything at all? Well, I think I really shouldn't doubt you, Miss Granger! But I have to ask some, to prevent someone from taking me for a fool!"

Mrs. Gray looked very angry, she seemed to be dissatisfied with Hermione's mouth for nothing.

"Did you get nothing, or did you just make a promise to me at the beginning to perfunctory, in fact, you didn't want to help me find that crown at all!"

Facing her questioning, Hermione's face didn't change, she just said calmly.

"I seldom make promises to people, Ms. Gray. Since I promised you at the beginning, I will try my best to do it. You don't have to doubt it. I really didn't lie. There was indeed no one in the castle when I entered the castle. Find what you asked me to find."

"But I heard a clue from another person who said he once saw a diadem in the headmaster's office at Hogwarts Castle."
