The Hermione family sent Bruce to the Leaky Cauldron, but declined his invitation because it was getting late. After seeing off Hermione's family www.biquge.info, Bruce pushed the door and walked into the Leaky Cauldron, but what he didn't expect was that there was an extra "resident" in the bar.

Although the Leaky Cauldron Bar is open until 12 o'clock, most of the guests who come in at night are accommodations, so the first floor is almost completely empty after dinner. But when Bruce walks into the bar, he finds that Dobby is still delivering food.

To his surprise, Dobby's guest turned out to be a house-elf. It seems that this is still a very important guest to Dobby, and the table in front of her is full of sumptuous things, but Dobby is not very concerned about these delicacies, and his expression is very melancholy.

"Oh! Bruce, you're back! Dobby said happily when he saw Bruce standing in the doorway.

Bruce walked over and glanced at the melancholy house-elf and smiled, "Good evening, Dobby!" Is this your friend? ”

"She ......" Dobby looked at the house-elf with a hesitant look in his eyes, Dobby didn't want to hide anything from his friend, but he was afraid that telling Bruce would be opposed by him.

Seeing this, Bruce said, "I can see you're struggling, Dobby." I won't force it if I don't want to, but I want you to tell me that I see your friend in need of help. ”

Dobby thought for a moment and told Bruce what had happened. It turns out that this is a female house-elf who is a servant of the Crouch family, the house-elf of the slain Barty Crouch.

Her name is Twilight, and like the other house-elves, Twinkle's ancestors have been serving the Crouch family. But she was not, for her master, Mr. Crouch, had given her a dress.

Originally, Bruce also guessed that Twilight was a house-elf who was expelled by his owner, but he didn't expect her story to be so twisty, and what he didn't expect was that Twilight's story was the answer to what he had experienced this semester.

Through Dobby's narration, Bruce learns that Barty Crouch Jr. is still alive because Barty Crouch's wife volunteered to die in place of her son. Although Barty Crouch said in court that he would kill his relatives in righteousness, family affection still prevailed over reason.

He used his power to get his son out of action, but Barty Crouch still had a sense of justice in his heart, so he locked his son in his home in the hope that he would not be involved in the evil events, and ordered the house-elf, also known as Twilight, to watch over Barty.

But he underestimated the obedience of the house-elves so much that Twilight couldn't disobey the orders of the little master. Barty Jr. also managed to escape his father's control through Twinkle and continued to work for Voldemort, because Barty Jr. only escaped when his father left home, so Barty Crouch did not find out what his son did for more than ten years.

The complete exposure of this incident was the World Cup attack, through the flash of help Barty Jr. and his party successfully came to the world venue to carry out the attack. But because of Bruce's "incurrence", Barty Jr. and his party could not escape in time, and Barty Crouch, who rushed to help, recognized his son.

Little Barty also knew that his father recognized him, so he never went back, and Twinkle was "expelled" for failing to take a good look at the little master. This is a disgrace to any house-elf except Dobby, so Twilight decides to find a way to get herself back into the Crouch family. So he found his little master, Barty Jr., who had become Moody's.

And Barty Jr. also made Twilight his accomplice through deception, signing up for Bruce and Harry, and Harry's cheek grass are her masterpieces, and Sparkle has no use value after completing them. Barty Jr. wouldn't let her stay either, as it would reveal his identity.

But what everyone didn't expect was that Dobby and Twilight knew each other, and it was even more coincidental that the day Barty Jr. drove Twinkle away was the Christmas Ball, and Dobby was invited to Hogwarts, where he met the expelled Twilight and brought him back to the Leaky Cauldron.

However, Dobby also knew how serious Twilight was doing, so he didn't tell anyone about it, and only told Mr. Tom that Twilight was his friend.

When Bruce almost didn't cry after listening to Dobby's story, he said with a smile, "Fuck it, it's like this again!" The answer is around, but I didn't find it. ”

If Bruce had been able to find out that Dobby's goodbye that day, after asking about it, it might not be the "sight" it is now.

Dobby didn't understand what Bruce meant, thinking he was angry and hurriedly said, "I'm sorry, Bruce!" Dobby didn't mean to hide it from you, please forgive Dobby for being selfish. ”

Bruce said, "No, no, Dobby! You misunderstood me, I don't blame you. It's just that it would be nice to spot Sparkle sooner. ”

Dobby sighed and said, "yes! If Dobby had told Bruce earlier, Twilight wouldn't have been like this. Bruce, you've got to help Twilight. ”

"Huh?" Bruce asked curiously, "What do you mean?" What happened to Twilight? ”

Dobby explains, "Twilight doesn't like freedom! ”

Bruce nodded in realisation and said, "Does Twilight want to go back to his master?" ”

"Yes!" Dobby said helplessly: "Dobby has explained to her how beautiful freedom is......"

"Humph!" At this time, Twinkle shouted angrily: "Dobby is wrong, freedom is a shame!" It's a shame that Twinkle was abandoned by her master! ”

After saying that, he began to cry, and Dobby panicked and hurriedly said, "Don't cry, Twinkle!" This will affect other guests, please. ”

Dobby tells Bruce that Mr. Tom does not refuse Twilight, and that although Twilight is reluctant to work for the bar, Tom allows Twinkle to stay for the time being, but only on the condition that it does not affect the other guests, and that Mr. Tom knows how noisy the expelled house-elves are.

"Bruce, please help Twilight! Dobby didn't want her to be so miserable. Dobby pleaded.

Bruce is very willing to help, but the "persistence" of the house-elves has been hidden in the blood for thousands of years, otherwise Fujin would have succeeded a long time ago.

As Twilight's mood gradually stabilized, Bruce had a solution, he came to Twinkle's side and said, "Twinkle, if you can get you back to your master's house, are you willing to do anything." ”

Hearing this, Shining immediately became energetic, and his whole body trembled with excitement and said, "Of course, Shining can even die." Twilight had heard Dobby say that Bruce was very clever and that you must have a way to get Twilight back to his master. ”

Bruce smiled bitterly in his heart: "Barty Crouch is dead, and Barty Jr. is imprisoned in Azkaban again, even if he can go back, what's the use." ”

"I do have a solution." Bruce said.

Twinkle hurriedly asked, "What's the solution?" ”

Bruce laughed, "My solution will take a long time, and you know how strong your pact with humans is. ”

Twinkle hurriedly said, "Twinkle is willing to wait, as long as you want." ”

Bruce said, "Well, five years! I will definitely let you return to the master in five years. May I? ”

"If you can go back to Twinkle and be willing to wait ten years, Bruce! Thank you so much! Twinkle said excitedly.

Bruce said, "But you must promise me a few conditions during these five years, and only if you promise me can I help you." ”

Twinkle immediately said, "Twinkle is willing." ”

Bruce nodded and said, "Well, you stay with Dobby and work for the Leaky Cauldron in the meantime, and Mr. Tom will pay you." I know you won't accept it, but I ask you to accept it, and of course you can give Dobby to keep it for you. Also, you have to listen to Dobby while not returning to the Crouch family, is that okay? ”

She was disgusted by the pay, but she agreed to Bruce's offer in order to return to her master. As for Twinkle, Bruce can only use deception now, hoping that Twinkle can feel the preciousness of freedom in five years.

At this time, Dobby asked in frustration, "Bruce, do you really have a way to get Flashy back?" ”

Bruce was stunned for a moment, then said, "Of course, but I can also keep her from going back." ”

"Really?" Dobby asked delightedly.

Bruce could tell that Dobby liked Twinkle, so he said this ambiguous thing. Although Dobby has now gained and is beginning to get used to freedom, he still can't help but obey his friends and those who value him. Bruce was afraid that Dobby would expose his lies, so he could only hide it from the two of them.

Dobby and Twilight are both happy, and after dinner with Bruce, they return to their respective rooms. Bruce was also a little tired, and after cleaning up, he went back to his room to sleep, and just as he was about to go to bed, Jack called out of the window.

"Wow!"

Bruce looked towards the window, and an owl landed in front of the window with a letter in his mouth.

"Hedwig!" Bruce walked over and opened the window, Hedwig had a letter from Harry in her mouth, and Hedwig flew away after Bruce fed her a slice of bread.

Bruce opened Harry's letter, in which Harry said that the three of them were going to London tomorrow. Bruce laughed as he looked at the letter in his hand, he could understand why Harry couldn't wait to write to them as soon as he got home.

Harry had been in the Dursley family since he was a child, and until he entered Hogwarts, he had no freedom to speak of, and lived his daily life like a servant. Even when it comes to Hogwarts, the summer vacation is spent in the house every year, and even how to go out at the beginning of the school year is a problem.

But now it was different, and after Sirius's friendly communication with the Dursleys, Harry was free to come and go, and it was only natural for Harry to be eager to fulfill this hard-won right.

Bruce smiled and said, "This guy! Even if you are free, there is no need to be in such a hurry! ”
