"Andy, are you going home for Christmas?" Qiu, a Chinese girl, stood behind the couch and leaned over to block Xie An's ceiling. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Xie An looked at Zhang Qiu's delicate face with some redness in surprise, a little strange that this beautiful girl suddenly cared about what she was doing, and Luna didn't ask herself like this. However, Xie An still kindly answered Qiu's question: "Go home, my mother has sent a letter to arrange for me to go back for Christmas." ”

"Oh, maybe we can go back together. Qiu squirmed and said boldly. Luna, who was sitting on the side, looked back at Qiu, who straightened up and looked at Xie An calmly.

Xie An was about to refuse, when he saw a golden owl with an envelope flying from behind Qiu like a meteor. Xie An hurriedly and kindly pulled Qiu aside, avoiding the danger of being hit by an owl.

The golden owl landed majestically on the sofa and threw the letter in its mouth to Xie An.

"The Earl's aesthetic is truly impeccable. Xie An muttered. After opening the letter, I had only read a few sentences, and my face was already gloomy.

The next morning, Xie An woke up early. When he arrived at the cafeteria, there were no students yet. On the four long tables, piles of bacon, pickled fish, and toast were pouring out of the golden plates, and cups of steaming pumpkin juice and bowls of porridge were placed on the edge of the long table.

Xie An didn't mean to sit down and eat, but took out the staff of Fusang wood: "Smash them all." ”

A red light flashed, and a delicate goblet was directly blown to pieces.

With a "poof", the surrounding space seemed to be squeezed open in an instant, and a little elf appeared in front of Xie An.

"Oh, sir, what have you done, it is forbidden to destroy the school's property. The elf grumbled, not in a very tough tone.

"Hello Elf, I'm Andrew Lee, you can call me Andrew, I want to ask you a question. Xie An asked stiffly.

"Sir, we are only responsible for the daily affairs of the castle, not for your studies, if you have any questions, you should read more books, or ask your teacher. "It seems that finding a house-elf like this has made a very bad start for Xie An.

"I wanted to ask something about house-elves. Xie An continued.

The elf observed the shattered cup that had been blown up, and carefully put the pieces together, and then cast a spell to restore the cup.

"I don't know much about the Elven Rebellion, you can ask the older elves, most of whom live in ancient families. Most of the elves who live at Hogwarts are young. The elf continued to refuse.

Xie An thought for a while, maybe his description was not clear, which made the elf misunderstood, and said directly: "I want you to help me find a house-elf, my house-elf is gone." ”

Hearing Xie An's direct description, the elf was stunned for a moment, and after a while asked, "Did you or your family give the elf clothes?"

Xie An recalled the countess's description, the previous day was normal, but the next day, the older Kvera actually disappeared. "No, sure no. Xie An replied.

The Countess questioned Victor in detail, but did not get any useful clues. The anxious Earl wanted to report the Aurors immediately, but the Countess sensed the danger and persuaded her husband to be reckless, hoping instead that Shean would find other clues through Hogwarts.

Hogwarts is said to be home to the largest number of house-elves in the UK, and if there is any conspiracy against house-elves, then the house-elves of Hogwarts will find out.

Xie An didn't tell anyone about it, according to the countess, Kevela was the elf who had lived in the Li family for generations and held a lot of the Li family's secrets. Moreover, Kwilla also holds the authority of the Gringotts vault of the Li family, and the disappearance of such a loyal and important house-elf is a great loss to the Li family.

The strange thing is that the Earl, who hurried to Gringotts, checked the Li family's treasury and found that nothing was missing, so Kwilla's disappearance would not be due to wealth. However, although the Li family has become famous in the wizarding world in recent years, it should be noted that this earl is not a knighthood in the wizarding world, and the Li family has never had any particularly powerful wizards, so there is actually no way to compare it with some ancient magic families. Despite being an old family in the Muggle world, in the wizarding world it is an upstart look.

The Li family has no secrets that can affect the wizarding world, and there are no treasures that deserve the attention of other wizards, and the Earl is an extremely sleek character, and there are no enemies. Then the only possibility is that Kwilla's disappearance may be due to his identity as an elf.

After analyzing it, the countess thought of the Hogwarts elf group, hoping that Xie An could first try to find Kwilla through these elves.

After thinking for a while, the elf asked a few more questions, and Xie An answered them one by one, and finally the elf also frowned.

"Sir, I can't help you with what you said, but if you wish, you can come with me, and I'll take you to our elders. The elf said to Xie An seriously.

"Okay, you take me there. ”

The elf elf's elf's elf's office was in a sunny corner of the castle, and Shay was sure that he had never been to this place, not even if it was in Hogwarts, and many busy elves came and went, cleaning the students' clothes, changing the sheets into new ones, polishing the gold and silver utensils, and waxing the wooden beds and tables. And he unloaded a lot of vegetables, fruits, and meat from the wagon. It seems that this is the logistics department of the whole castle.

The elf elder couldn't tell the age, Xie An could only think that it was a middle-aged elf through his voice, and after the two sides greeted him, Xie An directly said his request.

The elder paced back and forth with some difficulty, rubbing his hands together, and Xie An asked, "Isn't there a way for you to find Kwilla?"

"Not like that, sir, for it was our greatest pleasure to help our countrymen, and you see, many of our countrymen who had nowhere else to go stayed here to serve the great Hogwarts. However, Hogwarts has a rule that we can't easily interfere with the affairs of the elves outside, otherwise there will be terrible results. The middle-aged elder said embarrassedly.

It seems that Hogwarts doesn't like the elves to unite directly, and Xie An, who is used to war plots, instantly understands the elves' distress, if they want to liberate whichever elf they want, then there may be an elven rebel army at Hogwarts.

"Okay, then can you help me find where he is, I can find it myself. The Countess had already asked Victor, and the elf was frustrated that he was not good at finding people's magic and could not find Victora.

The elder looked at the portrait of Dumbledore hanging on the wall, thought for a while, and then said, "Okay, sir, you wait a minute, I'll go back for a while." ”

After half an hour, when Xie An's patience was about to reach its limit, a female elf came out from behind and gave Xie An a piece of parchment.

"When you go back, give this to Victor, and he'll use it, and this can track Victora's location. "This elf can be seen from the appearance of an old elf.

"Thank you, I'll come again to thank you once I find Kwilla. Xie An solemnly thanked.

"Andy, where have you been, I haven't seen you all morning, class is coming soon, hurry up!" Luna found Xie An and hurriedly said, grabbing a bottle of pumpkin juice and a piece of bread and handing it to Xie An.

"Luna, I was looking for you, please go and ask Professor Flitwick for leave, I have something!" Xie An took the pumpkin juice and took a sip.

"What, leave of absence?" This is a boarding school, and it seems difficult to take a leave of absence.

"Yes, I have some things to deal with, maybe I have to leave the castle, and you say I have something to leave. Xie An continued.

"Oh. Okay, but how do you get out of school, there's no train going to get you home at this time. "Luna is such a reliable friend, asking less and helping more at critical moments.

"Floo powder. Xie An raised the small pocket in his hand, which Xie An secretly ran out to the village to buy yesterday at night.

"Have you seen Qiu, help me tell her that I will borrow her broom for a few more days, and return her a better one when I come back. That's it, Luna, I'm gone. Xie An finished the bread in two or two times, drank up the pumpkin juice, and said directly.

Luna used her wand to help Xie An clean his muddy robe, asking him to be careful, and the two separated in the cafeteria.

Shea rode Autumn's comet broomstick to Hogsmeade and returned to his home on the outskirts of London with the help of the bar's fireplace. The Earl and the Lady didn't expect their son to come back in person, and the Earl wanted to take his son back to school, but the stubborn Xie An was not afraid of the Earl at all, and directly told the Countess the information he had gotten.

The countess naturally hoped that her son could go back to continue his classes, but Xie An's maverick image from childhood to adulthood made the countess worry that her son would come nonsense, so she had to discuss with the earl before allowing Xie An to act with the earl.

After Victor tossed around the parchment, a strange font appeared on it. Xie An and the Earl didn't know each other, Victor explained that this was the text of the elves, and it was an explanation of the use of parchment, and after Victor tossed it around according to the instructions, this parchment actually turned directly into a map, which clearly marked the location of Kwilla!

The two and Victor flew to a dilapidated Muggle factory on the outskirts of London on a broomstick and followed the instructions on the map, Xie An was a little puzzled, could it be that the kidnapping of Kwilla was actually a group of Muggles, but thinking of the elf's magic, Xie An denied this idea.

The Earl held the wand of the willow wood and looked nervously at the dilapidated factory in front of him, a little at a loss. You know, even the professional Aurors among wizards are very primitive when it comes to dealing with crimes!

"Dad, stay here, find a way to contact the Auror office, and Victor and I will go inside first, it looks like it's just an abandoned factory. Xie An said.

Lord Earl is just inexperienced, not stupid, where would agree to his son's adventurous plans. Hurriedly said: "Andy, you are crazy, let's inform the Aurors together, wait for them to come, you wait, I will now..."

While the two were talking, they heard a piercing scream, and Victor said excitedly, "It's Kevira." The elf immediately rushed to the place where the sound was made. Xie An immediately followed, and released the shield spell by the way.

The screams came from a room on the second floor, and the three of them had never been here, so they couldn't apparition, so they had to run up. When I got up to the second floor, I saw two wizards in black wizard robes with their backs to the staircase, and there were a total of three elves lying on the cold and dirty ground, one of which was Kwilla. When the two wizards heard the voice, they turned around and saw a burst of red light coming towards them.

"Fainted. Xie An released the spell without hesitation.

Before the two wizards could understand what was going on, one of them had been hit by Xie An's spell and flew out upside down. Another wizard hurriedly attacked Xie An, and a red light struck Xie An's shield spell, and a dull sound was heard in the void, and the Earl was pushed to a stumbling side. Xie An Yuguang saw that Lord Earl was not hit, and immediately shot out another red light: "Petrified." ”

The prepared wizard was not hit, but instead turned into a puff of black smoke and shot up into the sky, trying to escape. At this time, the Earl finally came to his senses and released a powerful spell: "All smashed." ”

Unfortunately, the enemy who turned into black smoke was bent on running, and this powerful spell did not hit the enemy, but instead hit the girder of the factory. The cement girder burst open in an instant.

Seeing that the three elves were still under the beam, Victor hurriedly phantom over, Xie An also sensed the danger, gave up aiming at the black smoke, and hurriedly released the magic: "Shield guard." ”

There was an invisible wall in the air, pushing out all the falling stones. Victor took one in one hand and brought Kvera and the other elf here, and then went back in an instant to bring the other elf with him.

The enemy that had turned into black smoke had disappeared, and the enemy who had been hit by Xie An was also gone, apparently taken away by his companions during the chaos just now. Lord Earl looked around nervously, Xie An hurriedly checked Kevira's situation and found that he was still breathing, but Xie An could not accurately judge the health status of the elf, so he had to look at Victor. Victor screamed, "They're all right, although they are injured, they all seem to be alive now." I recommend sending them to a quiet place to rest. ”

"Don't the elves have a hospital? I think we can get them to the hospital. Xie An said.

"Elves are magical creatures that don't get sick and don't need a doctor. Victor explained.

Xie An had no choice but to sigh at the primitiveness of the wizarding world again, and looked up at the Earl, who was still seriously and nervously observing the surroundings, as if a man in black would appear at any time to knock him down.

"Alright Dad, I don't think there's anything wrong with Kwilla, but it looks like he's unconscious, and I think it's time to get them to safety. Xie An said.
