"It's hard to believe that there is such a phenomenon as house-elves in the UK!" Coming out of the Hogwarts kitchen, Hermione excitedly said, "You know what, house-elves are being treated very unfairly! ”

"They're all slaves! No pay! No breaks! There is no freedom! They have nothing! Even, they will be hysterical at the mention of the name of the owner! Hermione was referring to Dobby's statement that Malfoy was a "very bad dark wizard", and then he rushed to the nearest table and slammed his head into it, while Dobby was still yelling, "Bad Dobby!" Bad Dobby! ”

"I mean, house-elves are happy in their hearts, aren't they?" Ron said, "When house-elves serve us, they are happy, and they like to be called around, ......."

"It's people like you, Ron," Hermione said vehemently, "to maintain this rotten and unreasonable system because you're too lazy!" ”

Hermione is right, Darren has always believed that laziness is the biggest driving force for the progress of human society, otherwise, human beings are still fighting with beasts with big sticks, maybe it is because of convenient magic and the existence of house-elves that wizards have lost the motivation to move forward, this is still because the number of house-elves is too small, only pure-blood families can have it, otherwise, I am afraid that wizards will become a group of fat pigs, and it may not be......

However, there are still a lot of things to do at the moment, and I really can't take care of the housekeeper and raise the elf, because the next day Penelope came to the news, after the research of investment experts, it is more troublesome than expected to complete his investment plan, because to maximize the benefits, it takes a lot of financial leverage, and now all countries still have requirements for financial institutions, and I don't want to greatly relax financial supervision later, so if you want to meet the requirements, you can only complete it through multiple cross-border transfers, which requires more time and financing costs have risen significantly, so that Darren had to invest more money and energy.

As a result, Darren originally wanted to talk to Hagrid about Rita and ran out of time, so he asked Hermione to pull Harry and Ron to do it, hoping that they could convince Hagrid not to have any more contact with the crazy woman, otherwise, Hagrid would definitely get himself and Dumbledore into trouble.

And, as if he wasn't busy enough, at dinner on Thursday, Penelope told him the news that now as long as she needs to teach Darren at Hogwarts, she will find a restaurant in London to eat and then return to Hogwarts, just to enjoy the skills of those star chefs, and also to increase Penelo's understanding of human society, after all, experience can stimulate emotions, and many things must be experienced before they can be experienced.

Also, this is the time when Penelope gives Darren a briefing on the school, "Today in the Transfiguration class, Professor McGonagall said that there is a ball at Christmas, which is a traditional part of the Triwizard Tournament and a great opportunity for students to socialize with foreign guests, and the ball is only open to students from the fourth grade and above, but if you wish, you can invite a junior student. ”

"The Ball?" Darren frowned again, he noticed that when he had dinner with Penelope recently, he always heard worrying news, "But I don't have time, I'm just halfway done, and I've invested nearly twice as much money as expected, those guys are very difficult to deal with, and the whole project starts before Christmas, and I have to be there then." ”

"Hmph," Penelope smiled, and took a sip of soda, "I'm afraid your plans are going to change, and after class, Professor McGonagall left me behind and told me that, according to tradition, the ball is held by warriors and their dance partners, so I, you, must have my own partner, a partner for the Santa ball." ”

"Oh my God!" Darren had no appetite at all, "In other words, I have to attend this prom, and I have to dance with people!" But I've never danced. ”

"By the way, the dance is to be dressed in a gown, and it will be held in the auditorium at eight o'clock on Christmas night, and it will end at twelve o'clock at midnight, four hours, and I'm afraid you won't let me do it for you."

"Oh, I wish you could, yes," Darren looked at Penelope with sudden hope.

"No way!" Penelope simply refused, "That's your glorious moment, you have to attend!" ”

"And," she said, looking at Darren playfully, "who will you ask to be your partner?" You don't want me to dance in the auditorium with her in your arms, she will definitely be unhappy, this kind of thing can't be hidden, believe me, a woman's intuition is accurate in this regard. ”

"Oh......"

Penelope pouted, "By the way, seriously, who would you ask to be your dance partner?" I guess it must be Hermione, a very smart girl, I heard about her when I was at school, "Darren has asked Hermione to cover for Penelope these days, and they must have become more acquainted."

Darren didn't intend to deny this, and nodded, "Well, it's her, anyway, with my identity, I don't know a few girls at Hogwarts, she's the most suitable." ”

Hearing Darren say "identity", the light in Penelope's eyes dimmed for a moment, but for a moment, looking at Darren, "If," she said slowly, "I mean, if I haven't left school, will you invite me?" ”

？！ Darren looked at Penelope in surprise, the other party's big eyes radiated a beautiful light, a smile on his face, and his fingers tuffled the curls next to his shoulder.

By taking a cup of soda, Darren calmed down his inexplicably accelerated heartbeat, "Of course, it's a pity that I don't have this honor!" "Indeed, with Penelope's appearance, being a dance partner is definitely a very suitable choice.

"Hehe, you guy, you're so much better than that nerd, he's not as good at talking as you are," Penelope laughed, but sighed, his face full of wist.

"Okay, I've told you everything today, you can prepare yourself, I suggest you hurry up and practice dancing, otherwise it's not good to step on your dance partner, your body is very strong, it will hurt a lot."

“？ How do you know, oh, compound potion......" Hearing Penelope's words, Darren suddenly realized that after all this time, I'm afraid she already knows everything about herself! With this compound decoction, he will never let others become his appearance in the future, especially women!
