Hufflepuff never works overtime

The little lion frowned and grabbed the bed sheet beside him, "I did see that Mrs. Orest seemed to be saying something to me, but I couldn't hear the specific content..." She suddenly thought of her behavior, It should be regarded as infringing on the relics of my friend's mother, so I hurriedly said apologetically, "I'm sorry, I stole your things without permission."

"It's okay," Faith stroked the lowered lion's head with her upper hand. In fact, she was not only not angry, but even had an inexplicable joy at sharing her secret with Hermione—maybe this is a child's desire to confide, " If it wasn't for the fear of scaring you, I've always wanted to talk to you, God knows those secrets are overwhelming me..."

"I'm not a coward like Doris, as long as you explain it well, I will definitely believe you..." The feeling of being needed made Hermione feel refreshed. Foot friends in school.

When Faise heard this, she just smiled noncommittally. You must know that the incident in the fourth grade was because Hermione was too shocked at the time, and finally had to let the rabbi perform forgetting on her, and it ended.

The little lion didn't care what Faise was laughing at, she threw Faise on the bed, sat on her body triumphantly, and pretended to threaten fiercely, "Hmph, now you've fallen into my hands, but You have to tell me everything you have been hiding from me!"

The author's words:

Decided not to name chapters except for chapters with special plots... I really don't have any talent for naming

Chapter No.17

The two little witches had originally planned to have a long talk all night, but it was a pity that after their bodies secreted adrenaline frenziedly throughout the afternoon, sleepiness eventually overwhelmed their short-lived excitement.

I don't know who closed their eyes first, but when the rabbi came to turn off the light, the two of them were already sleeping on the bed.

The next day, Faise was awakened by a miserable scream.

Regardless of the fact that she hadn't washed yet, she limped to grab her wand and was about to rush downstairs.

"What's the matter, Hermione? Rabbi? What's going on!"

As soon as Faise reached the stairs, what she saw was the rabbi's terrified face. Hermione forced it to the fireplace. If the house-elf hadn't engraved the etiquette towards wizards in his bones, Faise believed that it would have died sooner or later. The Apparition Phantom fled in place.

"Little master, God bless you for finally waking up!" The rabbi shouted excitedly as soon as he saw Faith, "Come and stop Miss Granger... she, her, her"

"Hermione, what are you doing?" Faise was very helpless at the scene in front of her. Although she really wanted to turn around and wash up before watching the farce, for the sake of the rabbi's little heart, she still took Hermione. The hand holding the coat was pressed down, blocking in front of his elf.

"Face, I'm sorry to wake you up." Hermione also seemed a little flustered. She didn't know why she just hoped that the rabbi would not catch a cold, but it suddenly screamed and ran around the whole house.

"Because it's a bit cold this morning, I want her to put on more clothes. I tried to calm her down, but no matter what I say, she doesn't want to listen..." The little lion opened his round eyes and looked very worried. Innocent, on the other hand, when the rabbi heard her words, tears almost overflowed from his big eyes.

Faith scratched her messy blond hair. For a moment, she didn't know how to explain to Hermione that the nature of house-elves is like this-they are proud of their work and labor, and ashamed of their reward and rest. To get a piece of clothing in their hands is, from their traditional point of view, to be expelled from the house by the owner.

"Is Miss Granger dissatisfied with the rabbi?" The rabbi poked his head out from behind Faise sobbing, and it kept hitting itself on the head with its hands as punishment for dissatisfying the guests. "Bad rabbi, bad rabbi!"

Seeing this scene, Hermione panicked even more. She hurriedly squatted down to stop the rabbi from hurting herself, and looked up at Faith helplessly, "I didn't... I just wanted to put a dress on her..."

"I know, I know," Faith felt extremely tired from the two guys' cross-server chat, she first comforted the rabbi, "Hermione has been living in the Muggle world, so she really just wants to care about you, There is no malice, and she will not do this again after I explain it to her."

The rabbi finally stopped crying after hearing Faise's words. It pulled its big ears and looked at Hermione timidly. When it saw the clothes in her hands, it shrank back behind the little master, "The rabbi knows Now, the rabbi is going to prepare brunch for the two ladies." After speaking, he disappeared in place.

"Let me wash up first, okay Hermione?" Faith pointed to the upstairs with a wry smile. She knew that if she wanted to talk about this matter with Hermione, it would probably take a lot of experience—Miss Granger might I can't quite accept the habits of house-elves and their treatment in the wizarding world, "I also have to go and see if I'm still used to living in Xixiu."

"I can help in the kitchen," Hermione said subconsciously, noticing the troubled look in Faise's eyes, she shrugged her shoulders, "or read "A History of Magic" that I didn't finish yesterday."

"That sounds like a good idea," Faith nodded, and returned to the second floor with Hermione's support. "Don't think too much about it. You didn't mean it, and the rabbi won't blame you."

"Well, go quickly." Hermione waved her hand. She knew that she was still unfamiliar with the wizarding world. Reading more books now would help her better integrate into future campus life.

"First of all, Hermione, have you seen the introduction of house elves/Houseelf/creatures in the book?" After both of them sat down at the dining table, Faith, who had finished grooming, asked Hermione consciously. asked before.

"It is mentioned in "Hogwarts: A School History" that they are responsible for the food and cleaning of the school," Hermione frowned and recalled, and she suddenly remembered something, and asked, "But I remember "History of Magic" " mentioned that there were several goblin rebellions /GoblinRebellions/ in the 17th and 18th centuries, because they wanted to compete with wizards for the right to use wands, and the goblins in the illustrations look a bit like rabbis."

"They are similar in size, but in fact they are completely different species." Faith squeezed a lot of honey on her muffin, and took a mouthful with satisfaction. "The rabbi is a father from the Greengrass family— ——that is, my grandfather’s house, which was brought to the Muggle world. The number of house elves is very rare. They are generally servants of old and wealthy families. They will be loyal to their masters all their lives and undertake all housework. House elf clothes, they'll think you're trying to drive them away."

"Take care of all the housework? It doesn't sound fair to them..." Hermione was a little puzzled, "If they can't get clothes from the master, they can buy some clothes themselves... Clothing stores don't sell them to them." ?"

"Only if they have money," Faith stuffed a piece of muffin covered in honey into her mouth, showing a happy expression, and seeing Hermione's increasingly puzzled eyes continued to explain, "House-elves like work and hate work." Salary and holidays, my mother tried to give the rabbi some salary before, and it really couldn't refuse, but in the end all the money was used to buy snacks for me..."

"No salary and no rest?!" Hermione's exclamation made the rabbi put the freshly made sausage on the plates of the two of them, and slipped back into the kitchen.

Hermione realized that she hadn't controlled the volume again, she lowered her voice and asked, "This is simply abuse... won't they resist? Like those goblins."

"But that's their nature," Faith didn't think deeply about this issue. After all, the rabbi was in charge of the family's finances after her mother died, and she could even be said to have been taken care of by it. Any dissatisfaction or request, she will definitely be willing to meet it.

"They don't feel comfortable if you force them to go on vacation or pay them, and our family loves the rabbi - it's fair to say the family couldn't function without him."

"It's my honor to serve you, my little master!" The rabbi leaned out from the kitchen, touching his big ears shyly.

Hermione was obviously not satisfied with this explanation, she ravaged her muffin with a knife and fork sullenly, "But I still think it's like taking advantage of their nature..."

"Maybe you can set up a house elf protection association in the future, like the Animal Protection Association." Faith jokingly suggested, but she obviously didn't notice the glowing eyes of the lion cub after hearing this.

"Chi..." Xixiu was coiled into a small ball on Feisi's shoulder, but she was still soundly asleep, and was not disturbed by their discussion at all.

The author's words:

It seems to be a dispute between Faith and Hermione's opinions, but in fact the worst thing is the rabbi, who was almost sent away by the little lion early in the morning

Chapter 18

Just when Hermione was about to continue discussing this topic, the phone in the living room rang suddenly. Faith swallowed the last bite of the muffin and wiped her mouth quickly. The rabbi had already taken the extension to the dining table before her. side.

"Thank you" Although she was used to the meticulous care of the rabbi, it was obviously not a good time.

Noticing that Hermione was staring at her more sharply, Faise quickly took the phone and put it to her ear, "Hi, this is Orest, what can I do?"

"Ah~ little Faith, may I ask if Hermione is by your side?" Mrs. Granger's gentle voice came from the microphone.

"Yes, I will pick her up instead."

Faith handed the phone to Hermione, and mouthed to her that it was Mrs. Granger. The little lion quickly answered the phone, "Mom?"

"I said I would come back by myself today," Hermione subconsciously coquettishly to Mrs. Granger, realizing that Faise was sitting across from her looking at her, she turned around a little embarrassedly, "I can Take good care of yourself, don't cause trouble to Faise, I can take care of her more or less..."

In order to leave some private space for the little lion, Faith took her and Hermione's dinner plate into the kitchen. The rabbi hurriedly snatched the dirty plate from her when she saw this scene. It was really frightened by Hermione's words today. up.

"Just come Rabbi." The elf's big blue eyes were full of vigilance, for fear that his little master would be brainwashed by Miss Granger and would deprive him of the right to do housework. "You are going to the living room to watch TV for a while The rabbi is going to prepare drinks for you and Miss Granger."

"Okay." Seeing the rabbi's pleading eyes, Faith could only nod her head helplessly, and slowly moved to the sofa in the living room to sit down.

"I'm not dreaming...it's true, Faise can use magic too, and she has an elf at home!"

"I remember what the professor said, Mom..." Hermione's voice came intermittently, and Faith felt that she might have been talking for a long time, "...I didn't want to show off, the situation was urgent at that time, so I... ..."

Thinking that Hermione was on the phone, Faise felt that she might disturb her by turning on the TV now, so she picked up the warm milk and took a sip, watching the little lion pacing back and forth while talking on the phone, round and round, Her eyelids drooped gradually.

Although she had just woken up not long ago, she had no desire to resist the intrusion of tiredness. Faise carefully moved the sniffling sleep on her shoulder to the sofa, and lay down on the sunny side, closing her eyes. .

I hope that I can spend every day leisurely in my new school.

"Face, Fay, wake up."

After Hermione hung up the phone, she hurried to the sofa where Faith was sleeping soundly. Thinking of Mrs. Granger's last words, she licked her lips uneasily.

"Hmm...Hermione in a minute...call me when the teacher comes."

Faith held the lion cub's messy hands in her arms, her mouth was not controlled by her brain, and she muttered some incoherent words.

Hermione scratched her wool roll with her free hand and decided to tell the truth, "Face, I have some bad news for you."

"Well... I'm listening," Faise tried to open her eyelids, the sun was warming her, and she really wanted to go back to sleep in a second.

"My mother heard about what happened yesterday, and she was very worried about you, so she decided to take you to live with me for a few days," Hermione looked at Faise's frowning and confused eyes, and tugged at her. clothes, "I'm sorry I slipped my tongue..."

She couldn't hold back for a while on the phone, and she revealed that Faise is also a wizard. What's even more regrettable is that the little lion is really not good at concealing and lying...

Without waiting for Mrs. Granger to ask a few more questions, she self-consciously revealed the two people's adventure yesterday, and learned that Faith was injured and lived alone—in fact, there was a house-elf taking care of her. She, Mrs. Granger decisively ordered Hermione to 'catch' her back home.

In fact, there is nothing wrong with it, so that the rabbi can have a few days off, and they can also study together.

The villain in Hermione tried to excuse herself, and almost convinced herself, but Faise on the sofa had a less clear expression, "Hermione..."

Faith let go of her hand and sighed, sat up straight up, startled the sleeping Niffler, and realized that Twoleg didn't mean to wake her up, so she went back to sleep with her tail in her arms.

"It's not that I don't want to go to your house, it's just..." Faise frowned and said, "It's too sudden, I have to discuss it with the rabbi, and I can't bring Xixiu to your house together."

"I was wrong." Hermione squatted halfway on the side of the sofa, resting her chin on the sofa and looking up at the other party. "You don't know that sometimes I just can't control my mouth... and my mother's nagging is really real. too terrifying."

Speaking of this, the two little guys, who had obviously experienced hardships, shuddered together.

Although Faith knew that the Grangers had been very worried and took good care of themselves—every time they used all kinds of excuses to ask Hermione to bring her something, but when she thought about the next few days, she would be under their noses. In life, Faith inevitably felt a little uncomfortable, not only because she felt that she would trouble the other party, but also because she sometimes couldn't suppress the envy and loneliness that emerged from the bottom of her heart when she watched their interaction with Hermione.

Perhaps it was to take care of her own mood, but in fact they were all very restrained in front of her, but it was this kind of differential treatment that made Faise feel even more at a loss.

She finally made up her mind to refuse this time, but when she saw the expectant little lion, the words she wanted to refuse were blocked in her throat. She couldn't open her mouth no matter what, and finally could only sigh deeply In one breath, "Would you like to help me pack my luggage?"

"Yeah! Of course!"

Although the book in her hand was too heavy for her to hold, Hermione still stared at the bookshelf intently, trying not to miss any one she was interested in, "Feise, what do you mean by this old edition of "House?" Will Gewartz: A School History differ from my family's?"

"Well... I don't think you'll be able to finish reading this before school starts." Faith was arranging the clothes to be taken away, when she looked up and saw a pile of books wrapped in woolen rolls talking to herself——Hermione's The entire upper body was almost blocked by the book, and it was really shocking.

"Me? Of course not." The little lion's tone was very firm, "It's us! I bet you must not have prepared for the sorting exam at all. I don't want you to be sorted into some strange college because of your poor grades. "

"My God..." Faith is now very grateful that she used the special Muggle suitcase for visiting Granger's house, preventing the possibility of the lion cub moving the entire closet there, and she handed Hermione to My own books filled every void in the suitcase.

Hermione handed the last book to Faise, shook her sore arm, and said with a smile on her face, "Don't forget to bring your glasses and stationery, I believe the next few days will be very fulfilling of."

"Yeah..." Faith sat on the suitcase, trying to make it yield with her own weight, gritted her teeth while struggling with the buckle, "I'm really looking forward to it!"

The author's words:

The personalities of the two are actually very complementary, both in terms of advantages and disadvantages.

Chapter 19

Faith could hardly forget the lightning-struck look on the house-elf's face the day she told the rabbi that she was going to stay at Hermione's for a while, so she gave it a little vacation.

If she hadn't realized that something was wrong in time, and calmed down the rabbi's excited emotions by doing housework, preparing school supplies, and taking care of Niffler, Faith felt that it might really think that she was abandoned by the little master and do something wrong. Reasonable things come.

The days at Granger's house were much easier than she expected, mainly because the Grangers had to be busy with work in the clinic during the day, and they had to prepare dinner when they got home—the other housework was done by the two little guys during the day up.

Hermione originally wanted to bring her little friends to study from scratch, but when she found that her understanding and attempts in the magical world were far inferior to Faise, Miss Xueba fell into a huge panic.

In addition to previewing all the textbooks, she even took Faise to finish reading "The Great Discovery of Modern Magic" and "The Rise and Fall of Black Magic". It's the same thing.

Although Hermione was also very interested in "Modern History of Magic" and "Important Magical Events of the Twentieth Century"—two extra-curricular books she carefully selected from Lihen Bookstore, but unfortunately, Faith was unexpectedly interested in them. resist.

Although Hermione remembered that she had seen exactly the same books on the bookshelf of Orest's house, in order to respect her little friend's choice, she decided to wait for Faith to read it alone when she got home.

Faith's injury actually healed within a few days, but she stayed for a full week longer under Mrs. Granger's kindness. When the rabbi heard the news, his sharp wailing almost made the neighbors Called the police.

A pair of dragonhide gloves and a standard-sized pewter cauldron were not ready for Fayse's Hogwarts start-to-school items, as some shops in Diagon Alley forbade house-elfs from buying items individually.

Faith originally wanted to ask the rabbi to take her to Diagon Alley after returning home. After all, she had never been to that rumored most important street in the wizarding world, so she could take this opportunity to broaden her horizons.

According to Hermione's memories, the cobblestone-paved streets were bustling with wizards in robes, bookstores, owl shops, and clothing stores were full of beautiful things, and the level of prosperity was even comparable to that of Oxford Street in London.

However, this plan was broken by the kindness of the Grangers. When they learned of this, they made a special trip to Diagon Alley to buy all of Faise's school items according to the standard for Hermione.

It was also for this reason that when Mrs. Granger asked herself if she could stay for a few more days and take care of Hermione instead of her - the little lion expressed deep protest against this statement, and Faith couldn't refuse at all.

After reading most of the books brought from Orest's house—the content of two books is beyond the current knowledge level of the two little guys, Hermione, who has nothing to do, starts to practice the magic in the textbook. While Faith was still there, grab the other party and teach me a few more spells.

"I can't believe you didn't bring your wand!"

Hermione glared angrily at someone sitting next to her doing nothing. She seriously suspected that Faise just wanted to avoid practice, so she didn't bring her wand.

"I didn't know that I would need a part-time tutor when I came to recuperate..."

Faith looked at the glass that was gradually transformed into a turtle after being cast by Hermione, and tilted her head, "Not bad, isn't it?"

"Except for the fact that its shell is transparent," Hermione frowned and poked her own work with her fingers. After confirming that the shell was transparent and not simply missing, she handed her wand to Faith. "Please, do it again"

Faith nodded patiently, took Hermione's wand, "It's the same with yours anyway."

"Mr. Ollivander who sold me the wand said that the wand will choose its own owner," Hermione watched Faise skillfully use her wand to restore the turtle on the table, and re-demonstrated the correct way to herself , "But I think you use it more smoothly than me..."

Discouraged, the lion cub pressed a finger on the tortoise's body, making its paws swipe on the table, but its body could not be moved.

Seeing Hermione's shocked face, Faise rubbed her fingers over the exquisite pattern on the wooden wand of grape vines, and comforted her, "In order to prepare a birthday present for you, I started to ask the rabbi for advice in March. Yes, if you practice a lot, you will naturally master some tricks."

"That's right," Hermione raised the bracelet in front of her eyes. Although there was no sunlight, she could still observe the light flowing in the gemstone. Faith mentioned that she would give her a new gift after the last incident, but was rejected. She declined without thinking.

You must know that even if this bracelet does not have the ability to bring luck to people like the rumored Felicity Potion, it is still the wish of my friend, and it can be regarded as an inducement for the two to confess their identities to each other.
