Hogwarts: Atypical Slytherin

Dobby's emotions are so changeable. Even when he is alone, he will scream in surprise or cry in surprise because of such little things. Nini has never seen such a thing in her short life. Noisy little elf.

Why does he have time to calm down?

This elf who always smiled gently and gently had a rare feeling of doubting his own views. If we say that wizards are not all bad - at least in the process of her work, she encountered contacts who were dismissive of her, and wizards who treated her politely and equally. Not all wizards were the same. Then the house elves are naturally different: in her perception, house elves should be reliable, stable, and gentle.

She had never seen an elf scream so much.

"Perhaps it was for this reason that he was kicked out by his master." She muttered unconsciously.

"Dobby was not kicked out!" Dobby's ears were much better than she thought. Of course, if you don't want people to hear bad things about you, the best way is not to say them out loud.

"Dobby was rescued from the evil forces by Harry Potter!"

"Harry Potter?" Nini has heard of this name. He is a great man. According to wizards, he is omnipotent and once saved the world.

It seems that Dobby also had a tragic experience. The lucky elf didn't choose to be loyal to his savior?

Nini felt strange: "Since he rescued you, why don't you become his elf?"

"You seem to like him."

"Dobby only belongs to himself!" Even though he was happily rolling on the soft little bed he had never owned, Dobby still expressed his unique opinion, "Harry Potter is my friend, and I am also Harry Potter's friend."

"Oh, oh, is that so..."

"You are not an elf belonging to Albert." Dobby made it clear, "You are an 'employee', I know this word."

"you!"

"Is not it?"

It is true that there is only a labor relationship between them, but this relationship is closer than anyone's employment relationship. She knows many unknown secrets of Miss Albert, can learn about the process of their work operation, and even does it herself. process therein.

"Of course this is different." Nini became more confident again, "This is completely different."

"You are an employee, Dobby," she said. "I am something closer than an employee."

"Then you are also friends." Dobby said, "Can the identities of friends and employees exist at the same time?"

"I think, maybe?" Nini thought that she might be able to agree on this point.

"So what are your plans after that, Dobby?"

"What's the plan?" Dobby's eyes widened in surprise again, "What's the plan?"

"You found a job and became a free elf, and then what? What are you going to do?"

This sentence was first asked by Nini's "boss". No one asks a house elf what it thinks of the future. They just need to serve their master at any time and enjoy doing so for the rest of their lives. That's enough.

"But there are also shifts when there are many elves." The lady asked puzzledly, "What about the other time? You must always find something to do, or think of some fun that can make you happy."

"Just like dogs can also develop the fun of hunting for themselves, and the fun of playing with dogs, there is always something that makes them happy. If people are more functional, they must expose themselves to deeper fun. This You won’t feel tired and bored, right?”

"What to do?" Dobby repeated. "What to do?"

Nini regretted it. Because Dobby began to repeat this sentence over and over again, and began to repeat it tirelessly while cleaning the manor.

He seemed very interested in the topic.
