I really didn't want to practice immortality at Hogwarts

Speaking of Twinkle, all the house elves surrounding Zhang Chun and the others showed an unhappy look, and Locks even coughed loudly on purpose.

Dobby led the way first, followed closely by Hermione, followed by Zhang Chun and Harry, and walked towards the corner of the kitchen.

...As for Teacher Bai and Ron, well, let’s just not talk about it.

Dobby lifted the red curtain, revealing a female house elf leaning on a barrel next to the fire.

Unlike Dobby, he was not wearing the messy clothes and socks that Dobby wore to thank Harry Potter, but was wearing a small white dress and a blue hat with one ear exposed.The hat also had two holes because of her big ears.

But Dobby's fancy dress was clean and neat, but the female house elf, Sparkle, was very slovenly. Not only were the skirts full of stains, but there was also a burnt spot.

"Hello Winky," Harry said to her.

Shining's lips trembled slightly, and then she cried.Tears burst out of her big brown eyes, flowing down her cheeks and onto her chest.

"Oh, God, what happened to her?" Hermione was surprised. She looked at Winky, "Stop crying, get rid of it, Winky, what is so sad?"

But Twinkle cried even harder.

Dobby turned back to Harry and smiled and said, "Mr. Harry Potter, would you like a cup of tea?" His voice was deliberately high and high-pitched, as if he was trying to cover up Winky's sobs.

Before Dobby could say anything, the other house elves who followed them immediately set the table for them again like magic, covered it with a brand new tablecloth, arranged the seats, and finally placed a bottle on the table. flowers.

bang bang,

A large pot of black tea with milk and three cups were placed on the table, and then a large plate of chocolate biscuits was placed on the table.

"What a... considerate service." Zhang Chun sighed.

But Hermione frowned and gave him a stern look.

The elves were quite happy. After they brought the tea, they bowed deeply and retreated behind the curtain.

Harry is Dobby's benefactor and the one who knows him best.Seeing that the house elves were all finished, he immediately asked Dobby, "How long have you been here? Dobby."

"It's only been a week, Mr. Harry Potter!" Dobby said with a smile on his face. "Dobby came specifically to visit Professor Dumbledore, sir. Thanks to him for taking him in. Did you know that after a house elf was expelled? It's really hard to find a new job. Sir, it's really hard..."

At this time, Twinkle suddenly cried even harder.Even the snot from her nose flowed onto her skirt, and she didn't even think about brushing it away.

"Dobby has been traveling around the country for two years! Sir, looking for jobs everywhere." Dobby still screamed, trying to cover up Twinkle's sobs with his own words, "Sir, do you know why it's hard to find a job? Because Dobby wants to Needing wages! But Dobby never found a job."

The house elves around them were watching their conversation with interest, but as soon as Dobby's words came out, they all frowned and walked to other places, as if they had heard some rude and embarrassing swear words.

Hermione smiled and said, "You're right, Dobby!"

"Thank you, miss." Dobby smiled and showed his teeth.But then he added, "But many wizards don't want a house elf who needs wages, miss. They said I forgot my duty as a house elf. They even slammed the door in front of me, which was very rude. .”

"That's their problem," Hermione said.

"Yes! Dobby wants wages. Dobby is a free elf!" Dobby became more and more happy as he spoke.

But the other house elves showed hostility, as if Dobby was suffering from some infectious disease.

Winky never stopped crying when Dobby spoke, and she cried even louder when Dobby said "free elf".

Dobby pointed at Winky, "Dobby also discovered that Winky had become a free elf! So Dobby simply took her to Hogwarts."

Dobby's words stirred a hornet's nest, and Winky suddenly burst into tears, tears flying out of her cheeks like a fountain.She also beat her head with two small fists, as if in great pain.

Hermione stood up quickly and tried to comfort her, but it was no use.

Dobby continued to shout in his own high-pitched voice, which was already like a quarrel, trying to cover up Winky's cries and continue his story, "Later, Dobby and Winky went through a lot of hard work and finally came to Hogwarts to visit. Professor Dumbledore. Mr. Harry Potter. And then the professor actually hired us."

Dobby shouted happily, his eyes filled with tears of emotion.

"Mr. Dumbledore said that if Dobby wanted wages, he would pay Dobby! So Dobby is now a free elf who can support himself! Not only does he get a salary of one copper coin every week, but also every month I still have a day off."

"But that's not a lot!" Hermione said suddenly.

"No, Professor Dumbledore was going to give me ten copper coins a week and one day off per week..." Dobby said, suddenly trembling, as if he was frightened by so much free time and salary. , "But Dobby took the initiative to ask for a salary cut. Because Dobby likes freedom, but doesn't like too much freedom."

Hermione frowned and turned to Winky, "How much does Professor Dumbledore pay you?"

She originally wanted to use this to make Winky stop crying.Unexpectedly, Winky suddenly jumped up, stared at Hermione with her big eyes, and became very angry.

"Even though Winky has lost his master, Winky won't get any reward!" she screamed, "Winky is not that despicable. A house elf gets paid... it's shameful!"

Hermione was confused by Twinkle's gaffe, and she looked back at Harry and Zhang Chun.

Dobby quickly explained, "Ignore her. Winky is ashamed of being fired by his master, Mr. Barty Crouch..."

When Zhang Chun heard this name, he suddenly remembered that this elf named Shining was Barty Crouch's house elf.According to the original work, she was driven away by the frustrated Barty Crouch Sr. because she accidentally let Barty Crouch Jr. escape...

So, Barty Crouch Jr. escaped in the same way?

The plot has not changed.

But it is obvious that Mr. Moody was not impersonated by him, and the plot has changed from the original plot.

Originally, Barty Crouch Jr. would sneak into Hogwarts and let Harry Potter participate in the Triwizard Tournament in preparation for eventually luring him out of the school to resurrect Voldemort.

But the current situation is that Barty Crouch Jr. did run away, but he did not pretend to be Professor Moody. So, where did he go?

Zhang Chun was a little troubled. Knowing that a person is a villain is at best a little disconcerting, but not knowing who the villain is and where the villain is hidden is the most worrying thing.

He immediately remembered the time when he returned to Hogwarts from the Owlhouse and was attacked while walking in the courtyard. That was also the negative emotion level of Barty Crouch Jr....

There are so many teachers and students in Hogwarts, where is this guy hiding?

Dobby looked at the grieving Winky and said, "Winky is still sad about leaving her original owner. Please Mr. Harry Potter and his friends don't look down on Winky because of this."

"No!" Harry said quickly, "Can Dobby now comment on your original master? Mr. Malfoy."

"...This," Dobby was stunned, with a look of horror on his face, "Dobby...can, Mr. Malfoy is actually a...bad wizard."

As soon as Dobby finished speaking, he was stunned by his own recklessness. He immediately rushed to the table, banged his head on the table as hard as he could, and shouted "Bad Dobby! Bad Dobby!"

Harry and Hermione quickly pulled him away.

"Dobby is a bad elf!" Winky stared at Dobby fiercely and shouted, "Dobby actually spoke ill of his master."

"Dobby is not a bad elf, he is no longer my master." Dobby protested.

Winky cried again, "Oh, my poor master Mr. Crouch, he can't do anything without me. He can't take care of himself without my care..."

Seeing the extremely painful expression on Shining's face, Zhang Chun sighed, thinking that this was really a loyal domestic slave. How would she be sad if she knew that Mr. Barty Crouch would die in the hands of her son in the future?
