war and peace

The author has something to say: RoomInRoom (RoomInRoom)

Harry was attacked by Death Eaters on his birthday night.

Why did Lily's spell not work?Why were the Death Eaters punished for this?

The heartbeat in the first grade turned into a confession in the second grade.

But what kind of cruel reality awaits Harry under the chamber of secrets?

The elf saw Harry, slid off the bed, and bowed to him.Harry came back to his senses and said before him: "I said...can you please lower the volume a little? My uncle and aunt are entertaining guests downstairs."

The house-elf covered his mouth. "Harry Potter, the Harry Potter Dobby always wanted to see, he said 'please' to Dobby!" It was emotional, and its green eyes the size of tennis balls filled with tears.

"Oh...is your name Dobby?" Harry found a chair and sat down, secretly glad that Dobby listened to him and didn't scream like last time. "Sit down... what do you want me to do?" He pointed to the bed.

"Sit—sit!" Dobby sobbed. "No wizard ever said 'sit' to Dobby like an equal..."

Harry felt that he had one head and two big ones.He grabbed the tissue box from the table, handed it to Dobby, and said in a low voice, "Shhhhhh, now."

The house-elf looked at him tearfully, and held the box in his arms: "No wizard ever tried to comfort a weeping Dobby... oh, sir..." It blew its nose, and Harry was glad it remembered in time Please keep your voice down.

"Can we talk now?" he asked. "Beforehand, you are not allowed to hit a wall or something... you are not allowed to punish yourself... Of course, I have no right to order you to do anything..."

"No," the house-elf looked at him gratefully, "Dobby is willing to obey Harry Potter...how noble you are..." It took out another piece of paper and wiped its tears, "Dobby today Here, I want to tell Harry Potter something..."

Harry was annoyed.Won't let him go back to Hogwarts again?Come on, he doesn't want to hit the wall again at King's Cross.

"Dobby wants to say that Harry Potter should hurry back to Hogwarts."

……What?Harry was taken aback. "But...why? Hogwarts hasn't started yet..."

Dobby shook his head vigorously, popping his big ears.It reacted immediately and covered it with two dry hands: "Harry Potter should stay in a safe place, not in danger, we can't lose him..."

"That is to say... I will be in danger staying here?" Harry asked tentatively, he felt as if he heard something.

The house-elf was shaking. "There is a conspiracy," it lowered its voice, "Dobby has known for two months...Harry Potter must leave here immediately, terrible things may happen at any time..."

There was a sudden sound of glass shattering downstairs, and it sounded like a window had been broken.His aunt's family seemed to have taken care of the big client just now, but now they dropped their knives and forks (they fell on the floor or on the table with a crisp sound), and Aunt Petunia screamed.Uncle Vernon cursed loudly, and then there was the sound of the door opening, and they seemed to be out to see which bad boy had broken their polished glass.

Harry figured he didn't have to ask Dobby what the horror was.There was a dark shadow approaching from far and near, and Harry didn't think it could be a dark cloud.He quickly stood up and leaned against the wall, grabbed the wand hidden in his baggy clothes, and moved towards the door of the room step by step. "Go, go, now!" he called to Dobby, reaching for the ceiling light switch on the wall and pressing it.The room was suddenly dark, and Harry noticed that the street lights outside had also gone out at some point.

The house-elf seemed stunned. "It's now..." it murmured, "They're doing it..."

Harry stared intently at the window, listening to what was going on below.The black shadow was getting closer and closer, and under the faint starlight, it looked like something black and smoky.Harry ducked down, trying not to make any noise, into the shadow cast by the bookcase.The black smoke slowly condensed not far from the window, revealing three figures in black robes and masks.

"Is it the... room on the second floor?" A male voice confirmed doubtfully, "There is no light... slept?" Due to the distance, they lowered their voices again, and Harry could only hear some words intermittently.

"That's...better," said the much lower, husky voice of the larger man in the middle, who Harry thought was Walton McNeill, who he had heard discussing the execution of Buckbeak in the same tone. , "Although he... is a boy, he can save effort... a little."

"Then hurry up, Crabbe and Goyle, those two idiots can't delay those Muggles much time." The last one urged, "Let's hurry up, if Potter resists, the Department for the Prohibition of Misuse of Magic will find him Defensive spells, he's underage..." He spoke in a crisp, quick, bureaucratic tone, presumably from the Ministry of Magic, and Harry heard it all very clearly.

"If you miss, then..." the first person added.The three nodded to each other, and then dispersed.Two people approached the window of his room from both sides, and the other disappeared, and Harry had a bad feeling that he must have gone around to the other side, preparing to block the door.

He suddenly felt a cold finger on the back of his neck and almost screamed.When he looked back, he found that Dobby ran between behind him and the wall at some point. "Get out of here!" Harry growled in a low voice, anxiously.

"Dobby can't just sit and watch Harry Potter fall into their hands," the house-elf whispered to him. "Dobby is going to help him..."

The windowpane disappeared without a sound.Harry put his hand over its mouth and watched helplessly as the little Death Eater entered.His black robe slid soundlessly on the ground, and a red light shot out from the tip of his wand, shooting directly at the bulging quilt on the bed.At Hogwarts, no matter how messy the bed was, the house-elf would clean it up. Harry basically didn't do much, but he didn't expect this to buy him a little time now.

The quilt was motionless.The little Death Eater obviously felt that his spell had worked, and he bent down and reached for it.Harry looked at the door not far from him, and said silently to the figure behind him: "Dizzy!" Then he took advantage of the moment when he fell down and quickly ran to the door, not forgetting to put the Dobby embraced them together.The Death Eater passed out on the bed, and the bed board made a dull sound.

His red stun spell clearly caught McNeil's attention. "Travers!" he yelled, striding in and sending a green light toward Harry's old hiding place. "What's the matter with you?" McNeill turned the fainted Death Eater over, and saw his staring eyes clearly.Taking advantage of this opportunity, Harry cast another Stunning Charm, but was detected, and McNeill dodged.

"We underestimated that boy..." Harry heard McNeill mutter.His new position had been exposed by his unsuccessful spell, and the big Death Eater put down his companion and walked towards him. "A silent spell, eh?" He raised his wand.

Before Harry could say the Iron Armor Charm, the green light seemed to hit an invisible wall in the air and bounced to the other side.Dudley's toy shelf was blown to pieces, and a plastic car wheel gurgled toward Harry.

McNeil himself was shocked to take two steps back.He covered his chest, and his voice was full of disbelief: "...This is impossible..." He suddenly found a pair of round eyes staring at him like light bulbs, "What is that?"

Harry realized he was talking about Dobby.It was the one who made the shot just now, and its eyes seemed to have a spotlight effect like the taillights of a car. "You are not allowed to hurt Harry Potter," Dobby broke free from Harry's hand holding it, and took a few steps forward, "You are not allowed to hurt Harry Potter in front of Dobby!" Its voice was very high-pitched, Almost shouted angrily at the end.

"...A house-elf? I seem to have seen it somewhere..." McNeill's expression changed from confusion to resentment. "You belong to the Malfoy family... I knew that he would not be willing to give up his favor in front of the Dark Lord! This coward!" He laughed loudly, "How dare you send such a lowly creature Come!"

"You are not allowed to insult Dobby (Master)!" Harry and Dobby shouted at the same time.The house-elf heard Harry's words and gave him a grateful look back.McNeill took the opportunity to sneak attack, but Harry shouted first: "There are many obstacles!"

McNeil bounced off the spell again.Dobby turned around abruptly, protecting Harry behind him, and staring closely at the struggling Death Eaters: "The master didn't tell Dobby to do this... Dobby just came to warn him..."

"This is the first time I've heard of house elves who don't obey their master's orders. It seems that Lucius' tutor is very good..." McNeill showed a ferocious smile, obviously he didn't believe Lucius Malfoy at all. Dobby hadn't been assigned to mess him up. "Very well, I will report the truth to the Dark Lord, and this time I will make him unable to hold his head up in front of the Dark Lord forever!"

Dobby showed a look of fear: "No, Dobby can't punish the master...it's all Dobby's fault..." Harry grabbed it in a hurry, now is not a good time to hit the wardrobe.

At this moment, the door of the room he had been leaning against slammed, the door frame shattered, and the smoke and dust scattered.A black robe stood at the door, and several binding curses came out without any explanation: "Quickly imprison!"

Harry and Dobby, who was still struggling, were bundled together and fell to the ground, his face and hands burning with splinters of planks.McNeill, who was trying to stand up, did the same, but he immediately burst out laughing: "Nott, I still wonder where you went! Untie it for me, you came too timely!"

The man named Nott walked in. "McNeil," he said while lifting the binding spell on his companion, "I've been waiting outside." He turned his head and looked at Harry and Dobby who were tightly bound, with a very disgusted tone: "A The house elves also want to stop the Death Eaters..."

Harry wanted to say something angrily, but Nott's hands and feet were faster than him, and he immediately said two more tongue-and-throat spells. "The Savior seems to have a few brushes, huh?" He bent down and took the wand that Harry dropped when he fell from the ground: "I'll keep this for now."

"You're still so foolproof." McNeil had already stood up, with a smug smile on his face.

"That's a must, the Ministry is full of eyeliners of the Order of the Phoenix." Nott dragged Harry and Dobby up with the rope: "Let's go down, Crabbe and Goyle seem to be torturing those Muggles." He said Shaking his head in disapproval, "Leave as soon as possible, the more time it takes, the greater the chance of being discovered. Wake Travers up, I think he needs to practice his Stunning Spell well."

McNeill nodded.He walked over and said something, a white light flashed, and the Death Eater who had been stunned by Harry earlier woke up.Nott walked ahead, he floated Harry and Dobby in the middle, McNeil and Travers watched from behind, and the group went downstairs, through the hall, and out into the garden.

The Dursleys and the Masons were floating in midair, face down, staring in horror at the distance between themselves and the ground, seemingly screaming.But nothing could be heard, and they might have been put under the Locktongue Charm, Harry guessed.Standing below were two tall, fat Death Eaters, laughing maniacally.

"Look at these Muggles, it's ridiculous..." One of them said to Nott the leader, "They don't believe we broke the glass with magic..." His wand pointed at Uncle Vernon, "Then let Let him experience for himself whether there is such a thing as magic..." He swiped down sharply, Uncle Vernon's purple face twisted in pain, and a bloody streak appeared on his well-buttoned white shirt long mouth.Dudley's eyes widened and his mouth opened and closed as if to call Dad.Aunt Petunia rolled her eyes and passed out.

Harry was tightly bound, and no sound could come out of his mouth.His eyes rolled wildly, they couldn't do that to Muggles... and suddenly he felt Dobby's long, thin fingers take his hand behind his back, and let go.

It loosened the rope.
