"Are you?" asked Canaan, a little confused, as he pulled out his wand, after all, he didn't remember knowing wizards with house-elves, and all of them were pure-blooded or powerful wizards with prominent backgrounds.

"My former master is Teresa, and this is the letter he asked me to give you. Lucy took a white envelope out of her pocket and handed it to Canaan with both hands.

Canaan opened it and looked at it for a while, and found that Lucy was indeed given to him by Deran, and he said in the letter that Lucy was a house-elf in their family, and had nothing to do with that mysterious organization, so he could be relieved to call it. It was also the gift he promised to Canaan at that time.

Canaan smiled after reading it, he looked at the house-elf in front of him again, found that her expression was a little uneasy, and said to her gently, "Your name is Lucy, right?"

"Yes, master. Lucy lowered her head and tugged at the corner of her dress.

"Don't be afraid, I'm very easy to get along with, you don't have to be afraid of me. ”

"Well, the host is very kind and Lucy is not afraid. Lucy let go of her nervousness a little and looked up at the new owner curiously.

After that, Canaan asked Lucy some more questions, trying to dispel Lucy's anxiety. When he saw that it was not too late, he said to Lucy, "Let's go, Lucy will take you to meet the master's father and mother, and then arrange a place for Lucy to sleep." ”

"Are the owner's parents also the owner?"

"Well, the master's parents are also the masters, and you have to listen to them. ”

"Okay, I'll listen to my master. ”

......

Early the next morning, the Canaanite family gathered around the table, and the food on the table was very rich.

"Lucy, you're awesome, how can you make so much food. Helen complimented that since she had met the house-elf last night, she had found that she had a lot of things to do.

In the morning, Lucy prepared all kinds of sumptuous food in advance and cleaned the whole house. This creature is simply a friend of women.

"It was a privilege for Lucy to be able to help the host's mom. Lucy, who was standing aside, had changed into a floral dress, and she loved the new clothes Helen had chosen for her.

It is said that this dress was still worn by Canaan as a child, but Canaan has always denied that he has never had such a strange dress.

"Lucy, come and eat with us. Canaan commanded.

"Lucy can't drink and eat with her master, she can't eat until her master finishes eating. Lucy looked at Canaan with big eyes.

"But doesn't Lucy want to listen to her master, who now lets Lucy have breakfast with her, and will eat with her master in the future. Canaan's tone was a little tough.

"Lucy can't listen to the master, Lucy can't eat with the master. Lucy didn't listen to her master...", Lucy repeated, whipping herself.

"Stop, Lucy, the master doesn't want you to eat with you now, and you are not allowed to punish yourself any more. Canaan was very helpless, Lucy was really like Dobby in the movie, punishing herself at every turn, and her servility was very heavy.

"Lucy is happy to be able to serve her master. When Lucy heard Canaan's words, she immediately stopped, and then stood aside respectfully.

Canaan sighed, no wonder in the movie, Hermione broke her heart for this kind of elf, and the long-term training has made this kind of elf no longer have a sense of self-race. He decided to subtly change Lucy's opinion in the future, otherwise it might have the opposite effect.

Lincoln and Helen also shook their heads when they saw this, they had also heard Canaan talk about the habits of house-elves last night, but they didn't expect it to be so serious.

At the table, everyone was silent, and the hearty food seemed to taste like chewing wax.

Around noon, Canaan received a reply from Professor McGonagall, and he finally understood the reason for his last visit.

It turned out that the American Magic Guild reported to the British Ministry of Magic, and revealed that Canaan had a wand and had close contact with Teresa, one of the heads of the organization, suspecting that Canaan was also involved in the library attack when he went to the United States, and they wanted the British Ministry of Magic to investigate the matter thoroughly.

However, when Dumbledore learned of this, he decided that the evidence given by the American Magic Guild was not enough to conclude that Canaan was connected to the occult organization, and that Canaan was a minor wizard and could not have been involved in such an attack. He also said that Canaan's name was already on the Book of Access, and that he had a responsibility as headmaster to protect every student.

In view of this, the Ministry of Magic decided to have Professor McGonagall of Hogwarts investigate Canaan, and they used magic items to monitor them remotely, and then negotiated to punish Canaan.

However, according to the content of Professor McGonagall's reply, the Ministry of Magic did not find any anomalies in Canaan, but it will punish Canaan for violating the magic regulations and possessing wands.

Canaan, who knew the whole process, couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, if it weren't for the help of Dumbledore and Professor McGonagall this time, he was afraid that he would have been invited to the Ministry of Magic for tea, and the process probably wouldn't be as easy as a home visit.

He realized that since he had Goldfinger, he had been a little complacent, and he also looked down on the wizards of this world. This incident also made Canaan understand that without strength, no matter how famous he is, he may become a fish on the chopping board for others to slaughter.

It was only on the third day that Canaan received a letter of punishment from the Ministry of Magic.

"Dear Mr. Canaan Blaine,

In view of the fact that you have purchased a collectible wand and used it for your own magic, you will be punished as follows:

1. Collect your wand

2. A fine of 50 Galleons

3. Write a warning in your personal magic file

4. Submit a 3,000-word confession report

Please go to the Ministry of Magic within three days to deal with the matter. ”

"Okay. Canaan was a little discouraged after reading the letter, these punishments were not heavy for him, and he could get another one from Teresa after the wand was taken away.

However, he can be regarded as appearing in the field of vision of Dumbledore and the Ministry of Magic, and he needs to be more cautious in the future.

He is going to set up some anti-surveillance magic in his home to prevent him from being monitored by the Ministry of Magic like the last time. There was also a need to change the location of the laboratory, which was remote but very easy to expose.

Fortunately, now that Lucy can take him to do the illusion, it is much easier to do these things.

————

Time passed quickly, a week passed in the blink of an eye, during which Canaan also went to the Ministry of Magic to hand in his wand, fine, and report within the allotted time.

Now he is working on his elaborate anti-space device in the new laboratory, which is located underground not far from Canaan's house, and he asked Lucy to use magic to stabilize the space here, and then asked Scarda to renovate it here day and night, but with the help of magic, it was completed in just a few days.

There's a lot of space here, and the huge round sun on the ceiling is Canaanite's work, the little sun. This alchemical item emits a soft sunlight that feeds the growth of plants.

Canaan is going to build a few greenhouses here and grow some potion raw materials, which can be taken care of by Skada in normal times, so that he will not be bored.
