Retirement from Hogwarts

"Harry Potter is back at school," he whispered sadly. "Dobby reminded Harry Potter several times. Ah, sir, why didn't you listen to Dobby's warning? When Dobby found out that Harry Potter had not Dobby was so happy when he went to the space port to take the spaceship, but Mr. Harry Potter still showed up at school."

Harry lifted himself off the pillow and pushed Dobby's sponge away.

"What are you doing here?" he asked, "How do you know I didn't go to the space port?" Dobby's lips trembled, and Harry suddenly became suspicious.

"You went to the space port to spy on me?!" he reasoned slowly. "Did you cause the abnormal failure of the gravity transfer elevator in the space port on the news?"

"That's exactly it, sir." Dobby said, nodding desperately and flapping his two big ears. "Dobby hid nearby, waiting for Harry Potter, and then used magic to interfere with the gravity transfer ladder. Dobby had to use it afterwards. The iron burned his hand -' he showed Harry his ten long bandaged fingers - 'but Dobby didn't care, sir. Dobby thought Harry Potter was safe now. Dobby was dreaming. I never expected that Harry Potter would actually take another route to get to school!"

He was rocking back and forth, his big ugly head moving.

"Dobby was so shocked when he heard that Harry Potter had returned to Hogwarts that he burned the master's dinner! It was such a severe whipping. Dobby had never experienced it before, sir..."

Harry fell back heavily onto his pillow at Dobby's words.Then, he seemed to think of something. "Isn't that Bludger also yours?" Harry asked irritably.

Dobby wiped his big bulging eyes and said excitedly: "Harry Potter must go home! Dobby thought his Bludger would definitely make -"

"Is that Bludger really yours?!" Harry felt his anger suddenly rising. "What do you mean, do you want that Bludger to hit me to death?"

"I didn't kill you, sir, I definitely didn't kill you!" Dobby said in horror. "Dobby wanted to save Harry Potter's life! It's better to be sent home after being seriously injured than to stay here, sir. .Dobby just wants Harry Potter to be slightly injured and sent home!"

"Let me go home seriously injured? That's all?" he said irritably. "You'd better get out of my way before my bones grow, Dobby, or I'll strangle you to death."

After hearing Harry's words, Dobby smiled lightly. "Dobby is used to death threats. Dobby hears them five times a day at home."

He blew his nose with the corner of the soiled pillowcase he was wearing, looking so pathetic that Harry felt his anger subside involuntarily. "Why are you wearing that, Dobby?" he asked curiously.

"This, sir?" Dobby said, tugging at the pillowcase. "This symbolizes the house-elf's slave status. "Sir.Dobby can only be freed when his master gives him clothes to wear.The family members were careful not to give Dobby even a pair of socks, sir, because then Dobby would be free and leave their house forever. "

At this moment, Harry thought about Dobby's repeated attempts to prevent him from returning to school.

He asked angrily, "I guess you won't tell me why you want me to be sent home in pieces, right?"

"Oh, I wish Harry Potter knew!" Dobby groaned, more tears rolling onto his tattered pillowcase. "If only he knew what he means to us humble, enslaved little people in the wizarding world! Dobby has not forgotten what it was like when the devil who must not even be named was at his most powerful, sir! People treated him like We house-elves were treated like vermin, sir! Of course, they still treat Dobby that way, sir."

Dobby said as he wiped his face on the pillowcase. "But overall, since you defeated the devil who must not even be named, life has improved a lot for those of us. Harry Potter survived, the evil devil's spell was broken, It's a new beginning, sir. For those of us who thought the dark days would never end, Harry Potter shines like a beacon of hope, sir... And now, at Hogwarts, it's scary Something is about to happen, maybe it has already happened, Dobby cannot let Harry Potter stay here, because history is about to repeat itself, and the Chamber of Secrets will be opened again——"

Dobby paused at this, horrified, then grabbed Harry's pitcher from the bedside table, smashed it on his own head, and staggered away.A second later, he slowly climbed onto the bed again, his eyes facing each other, and he muttered in a low voice: "Bad Dobby, very bad, very bad Dobby..."

"So, there really is a Chamber of Secrets?" Harry whispered. "And - you say it has been opened before? Tell me, Dobby!"

Dobby the elf reached for the jug again, and Harry grabbed his skinny wrist. "But I'm not a Muggle - how could the Chamber of Secrets be dangerous to me?"

"Ah, sir, stop asking, stop questioning poor Dobby," the elf stammered, his eyes as big as bells in the darkness. "There's a conspiracy going on here, and Harry Potter must not be here while it's happening. Go home, Harry Potter. Go home. Harry Potter must have nothing to do with this, sir. Too dangerous--"

"Who is that, Dobby?" said Harry, grabbing Dobby's wrist firmly to prevent him from hitting him over the head with the pitcher. "Who opened the secret room? Who opened it last time?"

"Dobby can't say, sir, Dobby can't say, Dobby must not say!" screamed the elf. "Go home, Harry Potter, go home."

"I'm not going anywhere!" Harry said irritably. "One of my best friends is Muggle-born. If the Chamber of Secrets is really opened, she will bear the brunt-"

"Harry Potter is willing to risk his life for his friends!" Dobby groaned sadly and happily. "How noble! How brave! But he must protect himself, he must, Harry Potter must not-"

Dobby suddenly froze, his bat-like ears trembling.Harry heard it too.There were footsteps in the corridor outside.

"Dobby must go!" the elf gasped, frightened.There was only a loud cracking sound, and Harry's palm suddenly relaxed, leaving only air inside.He fell back on the bed, looking at the dark door of the ward, and the footsteps were getting closer and closer.
