Chapter 56 09 About the Finding of the House-Elf Dobby

Alfred Potter's birthday party was very successful. In addition to the children who came to the manor to attend the party, his old friends who had been turned into portraits also came to visit, making Potter manor The atmosphere in the lobby was very lively, everyone was talking and laughing, without feeling restrained at all.

Draco and Harry sent a birthday present that made Alfred Potter very satisfied, a portrait of a little boy that combined the features of a platinum dragon and a little black cat. Obviously, this was to tell Alfred Potter Potter and the guests, they will present more than one prospective heir for the Malfoy family and the Potter family, as well as the ancient and noble Slytherin family, combining all the advantages of the two.

Seeing the gifts brought by these two little guys, not only was Old Potter so happy that he couldn't see his eyes, even Lucius, who was always very elegant in front of people, was so excited that he almost lost his composure, not to mention that he always regarded noble etiquette as nothing. He picked up Lily, who was also very happy, and walked around in a circle, and then dragged Remus away from the Dark Lord who had already started secretly preparing the training plan for the next successor. Together with Sirius, the three The big man danced the oldest wizard dance in the hall, under the watchful eyes of everyone, his funny appearance made everyone laugh out loud, and even Severus, who always liked to slap his face, slightly raised the corners of his lips.

At noon on the second day of Alfred Potter's birthday, a group of people returned to their home from Potter Manor. As soon as they arrived at the lobby of Malfoy Manor, the little black cat grabbed Narcissa who looked dazed and ran away before he had time to rest. To the land of the house-elves.Draco shook his head and slowly followed behind them with a helpless expression.

"Dear baby Harry, come here..." As soon as Narcissa walked into the area of ​​the second basement, she regained the majesty and demeanor that a housewife should have. "What to do?"

"Mom, I'm looking for a house-elf for Gilderoy."

"Gidero?" Narcissa frowned indistinctly. Gildero never liked house-elves, no, to be more precise, since that incident, his anger towards house-elves has reached the peak. extreme.If possible, he might not allow such creatures to appear within his sphere of influence.But now he suddenly asks for an elf, which is a bit abnormal! "Baby Harry, why did you send him an elf? He..."

"It's not just a gift to him. To be precise, it's a loan to him for experiments. I heard that Gildero's new book also writes stories about elves. It's just a material." The little black cat scratched his hair, took Narcissa's hand and continued to move forward, "Actually, if Gildero hadn't asked me to ask for it, my original plan was to throw it at 12 Grimmauld Place and let Keqili clean it up .”

"It?" Narcissa raised her eyebrows, it seemed that her baby Harry already had a specific goal.

"Well, it's Dobby, Mom."

"Honey~~" Narcissa stopped, squatted slightly and looked at the little black cat, "Why did you find Dobby? That damned elf, what did it...do to you? "

"Mom, have you forgotten my dream?" The little black cat tilted its head, heard the sound of footsteps behind it, turned around and looked back, and saw the platinum dragon slowly sprinting towards it.Harry waved his hand at him, then turned his little head around and continued: "There was a house elf named Dobby in that dream, and it appeared in my dream again the night before, and he said he wanted to protect him." I, say yes...."

"A horrible thing will happen at Hogwarts." Draco added, "I think that horrible thing probably has something to do with the basilisk in the Slytherin Chamber of Secrets that my foster father said that day."

"And I've heard that he's always talking bad things about Tom, Dad, and Sev."

Draco looked at Harry's innocent and innocent look, and couldn't help but laugh.This little guy really deserves to be a descendant of pure Slytherin, and he is pretty good at pretending to be innocent.

The little black cat took a step back indiscriminately, and stepped on the feet of the smiling platinum dragon. He turned around pretending to be surprised, and looked at his little boyfriend tearfully, with a pitiful look on his face. Xi look.

"Draco~~ I'm so sorry, I stepped on you without noticing." Putting his arms around Draco's neck, the little black cat blew into the platinum dragon's ear, "Honey, be careful what you say!"

"Xiaolong, are you okay?" Narcissa looked at her precious son with concern, "Does it hurt?"

"How could it be, Mom!" Draco shook his head, enduring the pain in his feet and showing a smile that could reassure Narcissa. "I don't feel any pain at all."

"That's good." Narcissa nodded, "Are you sure you want to find Dobby? That elf's spirit is not very normal."

"Yes, Mom." The two little beans nodded.

Narcissa glanced at the two children, nodded silently, and led them down another floor.Draco keenly noticed that the air on this layer was suddenly cold to the bone, and he hugged the little black cat beside him tightly, using his own body heat to provide him with warmth.

"You two wait here, don't run around."

Narcissa stopped in her tracks and said sharply to the two little bean dings, this is the dungeon of Malfoy's house, it's eerie and terrifying, it's not something two 12-year-old children should come in.If they hadn't insisted on finding that Dobby, he wouldn't have brought them to this place.Narcissa saw them nodding obediently at her, with a gentle smile on her face, she knew in her heart that her words carried a lot of weight in Malfoy Manor, and even the master had to listen to them sometimes.

The two little beans are quite obedient. They don't like this place, so they don't even have the slightest curiosity to go shopping.

"Draco, tell me, why does Gildero dislike house-elves so much?" Harry the little black cat rubbed against the platinum dragon, then leaned his little head on Draco's shoulder . "I could feel his hatred for the house-elves, I've felt it from the first day he came to the house."

"I don't know." Draco shook his head bluntly, "However, he is also a person with a story, so he probably wouldn't mind sharing it, right?"

"It's not good to dig someone's scars and give them away. It's not kind at all." Harry said that he was not kind, but his eyes shone with great interest, as if he was saying that we should hurry up and share.

"Honey, why didn't you use Instinct on Gildero just now?"

"Draco, you are laughing at me. Gildero is not an ordinary wizard, even if he pretends to be crazy every day, but his ability is there. Use Dementor on him..." Xiao Hei The cat lowered its face, "Aren't you asking for trouble? Although I was taught by Severus and Tom, I can't resist the resistance of adult wizards!"

Draco rubbed the little black cat's hair amusedly, and just as he was about to say something, he saw his dear mother had come out of it, followed by a house elf wrapped in an iron chain.The elf had big bat-like ears, protruding green eyes the size of tennis balls, a long thin nose, and wore the dirty, tattered pillowcase Harry had seen in his dream.Harry and Draco glanced at each other, and the two little beanies pouted at the same time, how could the Malfoy family allow such a creature to exist?

"Harry Potter!" The elf's scream was very ear-piercing, and the little black cat felt that if the sound insulation of the whole manor was not very good, the scream would definitely reach the first floor. "Nice to meet you, sir, and Dobby is very honored."

"You are Dobby?" Platinum dragon raised his eyebrows, and then looked at her mother, "Mom, let's talk about it when we go back. It's cold here, and Harry's body won't be able to bear it."

"Xiaolong is right, baby Harry, go back with Xiaolong."

"Then..." The little black cat hesitated for a moment. Seeing that the elf was about to scream again, he hurriedly threw a silence spell over it. "Mom, aren't you going back?"

"You go ahead, I will follow behind, don't worry, there is a magic contract, this little elf has no courage to attack the master, understand?"

"Okay, Mom." The little black cat didn't say anything more, he and Draco held hands, and returned to the first floor the same way.

When the three people and one elf appeared in front of everyone in the living room, Gilderoy Lockhart put away his idiotic smile that he always showed in front of people, and walked in front of the elf with his original gloomy face.Dobby took a few steps back tremblingly. As a magical creature, he could always keenly sense the pressure and darkness from all around him.

"Harry, is this the elf?" Curly raised his eyebrows with white teeth, "What is that Dobby?"

"Yes, Gilderoy." Looking at Gilderoy Lockhart who had returned to his original appearance, the little black cat suddenly felt very distressed. Who would have imagined that this seemingly heartless guy would have a tragic past!He pulled the corner of Ladrako's clothes, and then smiled at the curly white teeth, "I gave it to you, just remember to return it to me after you use it up."

"no problem."

Guidero's sapphire-like eyes radiated a sinister light. He picked up the corner of the pillowcase on Dobby's body, nodded at the people in the room, and then left without looking back.Regulus originally wanted to go with him, but just as he sat up on the sofa, he was entangled by a few kid heads.The little black cat was promoted by everyone as a representative, and after talking with Regulus in a low voice, he saw little Mr. Black nodded silently after thinking for a while, and after giving a salute to Lord Dark Lord, He also went upstairs with a few little tails.

Those who stayed in the room quietly watched their leaving figures in a daze, and no one spoke to stop them. Everyone was thinking in their hearts that maybe those children could unravel Gilderoy's years-long secret. Let's get stuck.

[Small Theater: About Curly Hair and Big White Fang's Past

Regulus pushed open the door of his and Gildero's room, and saw his lover lying on the bed in a daze.He looked around again, but he didn't see the elf that was brought up by his lover.

Regulus sat next to Gilderoy, resting his head on his lap, stroking his lover's golden curly hair time after time.He knew that Gildero was the most vulnerable at this time. He must have thought of all the past, but he knew that Gildero was almost killed in the dormitory when he was in school. Nothing was known about it, including who wanted his life, and why a house-elf was being sent.

"Honey, do you want to talk about it?" Regulus looked down at his lover who was sleeping with his eyes tightly closed, "about what happened in the fourth grade. Of course, if you don't want to talk, I won't keep asking. After all, I am not the master, and I have no way or ability to untie your knot."

"Rael, don't belittle yourself at will." Gildero opened his eyes and smiled from the bottom of his heart at the only love in his life, "Your position in my heart cannot be replaced by anyone, even the master , and can’t take your place. Of course, if he wants to, he must get the consent of Remus and Lucius, and I think those two possessive people will never agree.” Seriously Without saying a few words, the funny factor in Gildero's body began to attack again. He saw Dear Rael's face darkened, and quickly added: "I'm just joking to ease the atmosphere, because I'm going to What I said, except for the master, Sif, and Lucius, no one in the entire magic world knows anymore. Of course, there are also my parents. I have already experienced their ruthlessness at that time. If we really want to investigate the cause of this incident, it may not be the house elf who came to assassinate me, nor the disinherited brother, but the model couple who were well-known in the magic world back then." Ji Dro sneered, "But how would those outsiders know that they... would treat their children like that!"

"What's going on? How could your brother be involved?" Regulus gently stroked Gildero's moist face, knowing that although he said how much he hated his parents, he was still very angry. Those who love them, this is probably the best interpretation of love begets hate.

"My brother entered Hogwarts in the same year as me. I was sorted into Slytherin, but he was sorted into Hufflepuff when he was sorted." Gilderoy raised his eyebrows, "Lockhart Although the family is not a big aristocrat, it is also in the upper middle class, and our family has been a Slytherin since the first head of the family, and it has not changed until my generation, just like the Black family and the Malfoy family. I came from a traditional snake house. But my brother went to Hufflepuff, a house known for its idiots, which annoyed my parents very much, which was a great shame at the time."

"I didn't think so, as you said just now, the Black family is also a traditional Slytherin, but didn't my brother also enter Gryffindor, which is opposite to Slytherin. My mother was just angry, but after a few days It’s all right, and I didn’t do anything to Sirius, and I still love him very much. Because my mother knows that Sirius will definitely enter Gryffindor. He has a strong spirit of adventure since he was a child, which is why Gryffindor quality."

"Gryffindor is much better than Hufflepuff, isn't it? What's more, old Mrs. Black is mentally prepared, and my parents are not prepared at all. They originally wanted to cancel it in the first grade." I don’t know who persuaded my brother’s succession to the summer vacation of the third grade. Because my brother’s grades were not very satisfactory, they announced at my 14th birthday dinner that I would replace my brother as Lockhart The heir of the family, and the only heir."

"So, he was not reconciled, so he sent a house elf to assassinate you?"

"It can be said that he is not a pure Hufflepuff. It should be said that he never was. His superficial kindness is just a disguise. I don't know how he tricked the Sorting Hat into the Hufflepuff. This point It has become a permanent mystery. Maybe I went to Hogwarts this year and tortured the broken hat, and I should get a clear answer. However, if you think about it carefully, how could he grow up in a nest of poisonous snakes? Could it be a harmless little stork? He had already planned it when he entered Hogwarts. He knew that his parents hid in the sidelines and watched with cold eyes. He knew that they had never really established the heir from the very beginning. Who knows that they are waiting to see our brothers kill each other for the position of the Patriarch. Because they know that only the powerful can lead the Lockhart family to glory. It is for this reason that my brother started training very early My own strength, I have had a house elf who only obeys him very early. That elf does not belong to the Lockhart family, but only belongs to my brother. So, when parents deprived him of his inheritance rights, when we returned When I arrived at Hogwarts, there was a scene that night. Dear Rael, if Sev and Lucius hadn’t found out that the door of my bedroom was not closed and came to check in time, I’m afraid I wouldn’t have held hands with you It's a fate of a lifetime."

"This matter, your parents..."

"It's their acquiescence, in a way."

"Your parents are really...... Whether it's you or your brother, you are all their children, how could they......" Regulus shook his head with a look of disbelief I believe, "If they are like this, they really don't deserve the name of Slytherin. Although we are insidious, vicious, and cunning, we only treat outsiders and enemies, but we really love our family members and protect them sincerely. Even at the cost of our lives. That's Salazar Slytherin's lesson, the first lesson we had on school night."

"Yes." Gildero nodded, still with that frosty expression on his face. "After my injury improved, I was accompanied by Lucius and Sif, and I went back to that cold home that I never want to go back in my life. I solemnly told them that they can find anyone to be the heir. , I will definitely not do it. Anyway, they are puppets who listen to their words, and anyone can be competent. I also said that it is meaningless if such a patriarch does not do it. At that time, the eyes of the two people were wide open. Bigger than the eyes of elves, I believe that even if they are killed, they will not believe that their most well-behaved and most obedient second son will say such earth-shattering words."

"What happened later? If I remember correctly, you followed the master at that time, right?"

"Well. Then..." Gildero raised his upper body and kissed Regulus lightly on the lips, "I saw you, fell in love with you, and started chasing you."

"Then... what about the little elf? Dead?"

"died."

"Where's your brother?"

"Dead too, with my parents. He committed suicide, before committing suicide..." Gilderoy sighed, closing his eyes again, "burned down the entire Lockhart Manor, and My parents drank pumpkin juice mixed with the water of life and death at lunch, and when the fire started, they were lying on the bed in the bedroom and fell asleep."]
