The Extraordinary Apothecary at Hogwarts

Nearly half of their floppy ears were round, which is why Professor Snape always used the words "your elf" when referring to Dooto later.

Dudu was fascinated by the ears of these elves, and Professor Dumbledore ordered her to follow. She didn't explain the reason, but now she understood where her appearance that was incompatible with the elves at Hogwarts came from.

She was sent to the school kitchen before she could remember, and now she's back where she was born.

Another cluster of light fluttered towards them, like a dandelion seed, with a hint of black in the white.

"I'm sorry, you have guests, but Deimos didn't prepare in advance. Deimos will go back and make arrangements." Then he lowered his voice very low, and while quietly retreating, he muttered the following words to himself.

"Miss was young and inexperienced and easy to trust others. She didn't realize that her actions would bring disaster to the resources accumulated by her ancestors. Mr. Albert broke the rules and brought outsiders in more than once, so his daughter followed him. , Bad habit! Another person who knows the secret is untrustworthy! It is getting more and more dangerous, and Deimos must immediately report it to the hostess to snuff out the signs of danger."

Dudu's ears stood up like two big trumpets, and she could hear every word of Deimos's fragments, and her new intimacy with this elder elf who also had round ears was shattered.

She blushed in anger, and grabbed Sissy's hand to say something, but she saw Sissy gestured to her for silence.

"Wait a minute, Demos, I don't remember ever allowing you to leave." Sissy stopped him coldly.

She also heard what Demos said clearly, and she could get a few pieces of information from it:

There is a high probability that the hostess he is talking about is the portrait of Ms. Helena, because no hostess has appeared in the past hundred years, and she can only be the most prestigious at present.

And the elf calls Albert Mr. instead of master, which shows that her father is not recognized, lacks magical ability or wisdom required to pass the answer, and even entering her own house will be difficult.

In addition, Professor Dumbledore came, but did not tell Ms. Helena in advance that Professor Snape would come with him.

Of course the headmaster knew what the polite and correct course of action was, unless his perfectly rational mind hadn't considered asking Professor Snape to take time out to accompany him at all, but had more important arrangements for him - to jointly collect Horcruxes based on the existing information.

After the white light fell to the ground and dissipated with the wind, Snape caught a glimpse of Sissy's real sullenness that he had never shown in front of him.

But he said nothing, just watched quietly with folded arms, his frowning glance causing all the elves to bow their heads hastily.

She didn't say a word because she was not a student here. If she handled it for her, it would only make these domestic servants think that she was young and lacked courage and lacked leadership skills.

Of course he has confidence in the students he brings out with his own hands.

Sissy walked slowly in front of the elves, and turned their heads facing the ground back one by one.

If you are new in office, you can't do without three fires.

"Listen, you are responsible for the rest of the absent, because I just want to say it once. This is my teacher, who is of unique importance to me. From now on, you must give the highest courtesy, understand? "

After speaking, she casually summoned a small bottle of potion from the package and squeezed it with her fingertips. The poison in the delicate container was not sinister, but unabashedly arrogant.

Its color and smell are clearly clamoring: I am very poisonous, and I am innocent!

"If this kind of inappropriate speech and behavior occurs again, making me think that you have not shown the necessary respect to my teacher and me, don't worry, I have some good ways to let you remember the lesson."

She said so with a smile.

A drop of viscous venom drew a fork on the ground as she lightly danced the wand. Right in front of Deimos's toes, the white feather grass immediately withered and turned yellow, thick black bubbles burst out from the ground, corroding a few inches before it stopped.

A few timid elves, such as Anek, were already trembling all over, and their legs were shaking like butterflies caught in a spider's web, desperately flapping their wings.

There was a mixture of surprise and faint excitement in Dudu's wide eyes, because she thought that using this potion to deal with the garbage left by Quirrell would relieve her hatred more than using her clothes to wipe the toilet.

Sissy paid attention to their different reactions, and had a preliminary understanding of the personalities of these elves.

"However, my rewards and punishments are justified, so you don't need to worry." She bent down to comfort Anek first.

"It's the first offense, I won't go into it this time, just remember not to be an example."

The second half of the sentence is aimed at Deimos, killing chickens to make an example to monkeys, and punishing them with small punishments, without causing any substantial harm.

House elves must obey orders, but they can also find loopholes in the master's instructions, and do bad things at key links.

If you want them to obey orders completely, deterrence is essential, in addition to that, of course - "painting a big cake".

"You all know the current situation of the family, I am here to change the status quo. You just thought I was best at astronomy? No, I am good at every subject.

I am here to absorb the wisdom of my ancestors in different fields, so that all their achievements can be carried forward here;

It is also to find clues, so that I will pour poison into the throats of the enemies of the murdered family in the near future, so that their intestines will be pierced.For my relatives who died in vain, and for the masters you once loyal to seek justice! "

Their undeserved master...

The old elf, who had stood upright when he was threatened with poison enough to kill them a hundred times, now couldn't help but lose his composure and burst into tears.

Their thoughts may be a little pedantic, and their lack of contact with the outside world, narrow and limited vision and information acquisition also make them temporarily unclear about Dumbledore and Professor Snape's kindness to family members, but they have nothing to do with their loyalty to the family false.

"You can do far more than clean the house and cook the dishes for the family because every piece of information you provide has the potential to advance our common purpose and restore the family to greatness. I need your help."

Dudu followed the other elves and nodded, but suddenly remembered that she couldn't help at all, so he went back into the backpack in frustration, and closed the zipper by himself.

"Let's go." Snape straddled the backpack containing Tootoo and Libo on one shoulder, and squeezed the annoying buzzing chocolate frog card with his hands under the black robe.

"Okay, professor." Sissy raised her head and smiled, and then told the elves who were still immersed in their own emotional fluctuations, "Lead the way to the alchemy room."
