At Darren's request, Dobby took him directly to the kitchen, where the Hogwarts house-elves were all there, and when Dobby led Darren to appear beside them, they were startled, but immediately bowed to him with a smile and curts. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

"So, oh, where is Twilight?" asked Darren.

"I'm here," a timid voice came from a corner, and following the prestige, Darren saw a house-elf, although it seemed to him that all house-elves looked similar and were difficult to tell, but Twinkle was easy to find, because what she was wearing was so different from the other house-elves, and the house-elves of Hogwarts were all wearing uniform clothes: a tea towel with the Hogwarts crest on it.

And Sparkle is surrounded by a rag that is so dirty that it can't be seen in its true color, like wearing a loose robe, which is quite Indian-style, but unfortunately in this environment, it only looks out of place.

"You're Twilight?" Although Darren had basically confirmed, he thought it would be better to confirm it.

"Yes," the other man drooped his ears, his big eyes like ping-pong balls half-open, looking at the ground.

"Do you know who I am?"

"You are my new master," Sparkle's lips trembled, "they say, I can no longer serve Mr. Crouch," she whimpered, and tears began to appear in her eyes, which soon welled up in her sockets and rolled down her cheeks, "Oh, my poor Mr. Crouch, what is he going to do without Sparkle? He needs me, he needs my help! I have cared for Mr. Crouch's family since birth, before me, it was my mother, and before her, it was my grandmother...... Oh, what would they have said if they had known that Twilight had left Mr. Crouch's house?, oh, shame, shame!"

"Is she always like this?" asked Dobby, looking at the sparkle of crying.

"I don't know, sir," Dobby looked at Twilight as well, "Twilight only came last night, but she's not spoken or happy. ”

If Twilight had always been like this, no wonder no one would want her, and it would be even more surprising to think of the amount of "fee" that Bagman had told Darren to claim a house-elf, the pure-blood family had it themselves, and there was no need to get such a half-crippled house-elf, and for half-breed wizards who didn't have house-elves, the cost performance was too poor.

However, based on Darren's contact with Kreacher, it would be a waste to let the house-elves do the housework like ordinary wizards, and to be honest, if it was just to do laundry, cooking, and cleaning, he would rather hire a witch like Penelope to be a maid than to raise a house-elf...... He is not short of money anyway.

As for the house-elves, their illusion shifting abilities alone are far beyond those of ordinary wizards!

"Dobby," Darren sat on a stool by the fire, "if you give a house-elf clothes and you'll free him, how can you get her to change it? He pointed to the rag on Shining's body, and he said it was the same one he wore at the Quidditch World Cup.

"You can order her to change into other clothes, and you won't free her unless you give it to her, sir," said Dobby, reaching out and touching one of the black socks on his feet, but there was a hint of happiness on his face, which seemed to be very fond of the feeling of freedom.

However, there is only one Dobby after all, and the vast majority of house-elves still want to be able to serve their masters, and now Da Lun also needs their absolute obedience to their masters, otherwise, he can't ensure safety.

"Well, that's fine," Darren said to Twilight, who was still crying, "stop," and as expected, the house-elf immediately stopped, and although she was still choking and tears were still flowing, other than that, the crying did stop.

Darren knew it would be like this, having seen him at 12 Grimmauld Place, when Kreacher grieved for Regulus, and, now he was sure that Twilight had identified himself as his new master.

However, what makes Darren curious is what if he, as the new owner, asks about the Twilight Crouch family?

“…… The old master sent the little master to Azkaban, and the hostess replaced the little master with herself, and she knew that she was going to die...... "Sure enough, the master's authority over the house-elves is absolute.

"Pretending that the hostess died, a secret funeral was held...... Use spells to control the little master...... Wear an invisibility cloak from morning till night...... A witch came to the house to find the old master, and Twilight led her into the house, but she overheard Twinkle talking to the little master, and asked the old master for trouble...... Twinkle persuaded the old master for months, and the younger master liked Quidditch, he wore an invisibility cloak and could watch the game...... When he got to the top box, Twilight sat in his seat, and the little master sat there, but!" Twinkle suddenly shouted loudly, "That bad guy, bad wizard, he lifted the invisibility cloak, and the little master was discovered! Bad Twilight didn't protect the little master, and didn't fulfill the old master's orders!" She began to hysterize again.

"Stop! Twinkle," Darren said quickly, watching the house-elf quiet down, and asked, "After that, where did you go?" He was also curious, wondering what happened to little Crouch, and did he still get together with Voldemort?

"After the little master was discovered by the bad wizard," Twinkle said slowly, her body trembling slightly, obviously very excited, "Twinkle took the little master back to the house, the little master didn't have a wand, he couldn't cast a spell, fortunately, the hostess left, the little master took it and left, Twinkle didn't know where he went, and the old master didn't come back, and then," tears began to appear in her eyes again, "The gentlemen from the Ministry of Magic came, took Sparkle to a small house, and asked the same questions as the master." ”

"Oh, did you tell them?"

"Twilight can't betray his master," Twinkle burst into tears again at hearing Darren's question, "but Twinkle couldn't help it, they cast a spell on Twinkle, and then, saying to Twilight, Mr. Crouch is no longer the master, and he can't leave the house, he must wait for someone to claim it!" she couldn't help crying.

This time, Darren didn't interrupt her, let her cry, cry for the Crouch family for the last time, from today onwards, she will serve Darren, perhaps, the future Sean family......
