Hogwarts Kryptonian.

Chapter 160 House Elves

Chatting with Malfoy, Lu Yunkai came to the auditorium, and was going to return to the lounge after dinner to continue his "research work" that he had been doing for the past two days.

Because the Quidditch Cup was canceled this year, Lu Yunkai's job as the captain of the Quidditch team was also let go.

If there is no competition, how can you train?
Ever since, his time suddenly returned to the level of abundance in the first grade.

After more time, it is easy to get bored, and if you are bored, it is easy to cause trouble. He understands this truth very well.

So he decisively "arranged" some new jobs for himself.

For example, to study what is the resurrection spell that Voldemort wants to do, and what is the origin of the snake named Nagini (About Nagini, Irene helped him ask the owner of the Magical Zoo Isabella, but even Isabella doesn't quite know what's going on)...

This arrangement, Lu Yunkai felt, was at least enough for him to "sustain" for two months. By the end of October, after the Triwizard Tournament began, he might have more interesting things to do.

"Is the chicken leg fried today?"

Lu Yunkai gnawed on the chicken leg in his hand and babbled.

It is indeed a bit too firm.

"Is there? My food is okay!" Daphne, who was sitting next to Lu Yunkai, answered, "Otherwise, you can ask the house elf?"

"Forget it, no matter how unpalatable it is, it's on the same level as Xueli, there's no need." Lu Yun smiled and shook his head.

"By the way, just after class, Blaise asked me to tell you that he has something to do with you." Daphne continued.

"...Why did he ask you to send a message to me? What about others?"

"I don't know. It seems to have something to do with the potion sales that you and his mother cooperated with. Maybe he felt embarrassed to tell you directly?" Daphne said casually, "I also think his mother is too much, last year or something There is no movement, why did I suddenly think of looking for you again today?"

"I'm curious too."

Lu Yun laughed.

In the past year, the cooperation between Lu Yunkai and Mrs. Zabini did not stop completely as Daphne thought, on the contrary, the communication did not stop much.

He had been wrangling Mrs. Zabini over the sale and rights of the communication mirror.But also because of the mirror, neither Daphne nor her son Blaise may know what kind of reluctance and tit-for-tat they have experienced between the two of them.

Even Lu Yunkai has been thinking for a while, or else he might as well rent a storefront in Diagon Alley, let Irene take care of it for him, and sell the communication mirror by himself...

Of course, just think about it.Opening a store in the wizarding world is no less troublesome than opening a store in the Muggle world. More importantly, he promised Blaise to cooperate with him, and he didn't want to break his promise.

But today Mrs. Zabini suddenly contacted herself through Blaise, what does it mean?Could it be that you want to play the emotional card through Blaise?
The brothers are still clear!This set doesn't work for me!

Just when Lu Yunkai was thinking about how to tell him about this when he saw Blaise, suddenly there was a bang bang in front of him, and two house elves appeared.

"I'm sorry, sir." A house elf in front said to Lu Yunkai: "The dinner you ate today may not be to your liking..."

"Oh! It's okay! It's okay! No need to come here to apologize!"

Seeing the sorry look on the house elf's face, Lu Yunkai shook his head quickly.

"It's like this, Shining has been in a bad mood recently, and when she does things, she's a little..." The little elf was still explaining, and then pulled another house-elf beside him who looked a little drunk.

Are Hogwarts house elves allowed to drink?

The treatment is good!
Lu Yunkai complained silently in his heart.

but……

Why does this house elf look familiar?Where have I seen it?
A sentence that made him laugh dumbfounded suddenly appeared in Lu Yunkai's mind.

How can it be!I've only seen Daphne's house-elf so far besides Shirley...and Barty Crouch's! !
right!This is the elf who helped Barty Crouch take a seat in the minister's box! !
How did it end up at Hogwarts?

"Your friend's name is Shining?" Lu Yunkai interrupted and wanted to explain that the drunken house elf wasn't not serious about his work, but just because he was hit, and asked, "What's your name?"

"My name is Dobby, sir."

"What are you doing? Do you still remember me?" The house elf named Shining squinted at Lu Yunkai.

"...Remember." Lu Yunkai nodded, "Aren't you from the Crouch family? Why did you come to Hogwarts?"

"Its former owner gave it freedom, so Winky, like Dobby, is now a free house-elf." The elf named Dobby answered.

"Oh! That's a good thing! Why is it in a bad mood?" Lu Yunkai asked curiously.

"But it doesn't think so..." Dobby glanced at Winky with a slightly puzzled look, then shook his head again.

"This... can't be forced." Lu Yunkai suddenly thought of Xueli.

He also thought about giving Xueli freedom before, but Xueli not only refused at the time, but also seemed to be scared to cry by himself...

House-elves are truly amazing creatures!
But from this point of view, this elf named Dobby is really an anomaly!

"Sir, I'm sorry, we promise that there will be no more problems with the diet tomorrow." Dobby didn't know that Lu Yunkai gave it a high score in his heart, and he still apologized instead of drunken Shining with apology.

"Well, okay." Lu Yunkai nodded, "You don't have to mind."

"Then let's go first."

After finishing speaking, Dobby bowed to Lu Yunkai with Shining, then made two bang bang bang bangs and disappeared.

"How do you know the elf of the Crouch family?" Daphne, who was planning to leave after dinner, looked at Lu Yunkai vigilantly.

"At the Quidditch World Cup, he was holding Barty Crouch's place in the minister's box, and that Crouch didn't show up for the whole game, so I was very impressed with him...why? Didn't you What did you misunderstand?"

"Really?" Daphne narrowed her eyes.

"...You!!" Lu Yunkai smiled and stretched out his hands to rub Daphne's head, "Could it be possible that you still think I know the Crouch family's daughter or something?"

"Hmph!" Daphne looked up arrogantly, "God knows!"

"Crouch has only one son, and he already died in Azkaban." Lu Yunkai shook his head with a speechless smile, "You doubt me so much, I'm very sad!"

"See you tonight." Daphne turned her head and was about to leave.

"Just admit your mistake and you won't die!" Lu Yunkai laughed out loud at being teased by Daphne.

"Brother-in-law, I really didn't blame you. How could you ask my sister to admit her mistake?" Astoria, who had been by the side all this time, came over and reminded Lu Yun, "When will she stop worrying about you? You're going to be in trouble instead, right?"

"...You're the one who talks a lot." Lu Yunkai smiled and sighed.

Well, my aunt is right.

"Hey, brother-in-law, do you have anything to do tonight?" Seeing that Lu Yunkai seemed to have accepted his "remonstrance", Astoria put on a posture of hitting a snake with a stick.

"There is something to say, and there is nothing to say, what's the matter?"

"I wrote a treatise on Potions, can you read it for me?"

"After you've finished writing, why don't you turn it in directly? Professor Snape won't say anything about your poor writing. You're a Slytherin!" Lu Yunkai was speechless.

"Why not! He often compares me to my sister in class." Astoria glanced to the side, "Even Karina said before, why my sister and your Potions are so inferior?" I'm so good at studying, but I'm always disgusted by Professor Snape in class...Brother-in-law, you can't see me being ashamed in front of her, can you?"

"...you plastic sisterhood!" Lu Yun laughed happily, "Okay, see you in the lounge later at night!"

"En! Thank you brother-in-law!!" Astoria nodded with a smile, and then ran away in a hurry.

Lu Yun smiled and sighed, then looked at the chicken leg in his hand.

Go on, it seems that there will be a lot of things tonight, so I have to save up enough energy in advance!
Neither Astoria nor Mrs. Zabini are fuel-efficient lamps!
