217. Dobby's visit

This year's Christmas was a bit late to the Christmas of the year, and it was only late at noon on Christmas Eve that the future parents were late, and McCroft looked a little tired, but he brought enough gifts for his children.

Mycroft had long since known that his other half would be Lestrade, and he had already determined that Harry and the others were his own children, and of course Will.

Will completely became Mycroft's adopted son half a year ago, and at first Will returned to London because of Hannibal, and the agreement between Mycroft and him was that Will would meet Hannibal, and Mycroft had a person who should be inside and outside. When Mycroft's marriage proposal was successful, Will's problem leaked out, and they almost forgot that Will was still an orphan who had no one to adopt, because it was impossible for Hannibal and Will to be separated, and the two of them still looked like they were in love, so after thinking about it, Will's name fell on Mycroft and became Mycroft's adopted son.

However, Mycroft did not ask Harry to change his last name, and Will was still Will Graham, but sometimes Lake Will joked that his former collaborator, now the titular father, needed to change his name or add his last name to it, such as Will Holmes or Will Holmes Graham.

For this look, Mycroft just said that Will is getting more and more naïve, and he didn't think that he might have children, and having Will, the nominal adopted son, is also considered to be in the future, so it's better to change his name or something.

Anyway, Harry knew the news when he returned home half a year later, but given that Will had been raised in their home, it wasn't much of a problem for Harry to know whose adopted son he had become.

Christmas is always merry and they leave everything behind, Harry and his own David talk about the recent school and those little arguments, Loki proudly tells Lestrade that he protected Harry and Saul, two fools, and then wins the kiss of Lestrade's love.

After Loki came back, the family became a little different, and the person who liked to quarrel with his brothers the most on weekdays was Loki, and during his absence, Tony couldn't find anyone to talk to, and it did make the family a lot quieter.

Reistrade stood in front of the kitchen door and looked at Tony and Loki who were about to fight, smiled and didn't speak, Mycroft changed his coat and appeared next to Reistrade in a white shirt, and the two exchanged a kiss and looked at the bears in the living room.

"It looks like everyone is a lot more lively, and sure enough, Loki will be more lively when he comes back."

The two of them interlocked their fingers and looked at each other, Lestrade smiled and bent his eyes, to be honest, he felt the same way, everyone was indeed a lot more lively after Loki came back, Merlin and Raven were entangled in Harry's side, the two little ones spent a lot of time with Harry when they were young, and every time Harry left to go to school, the two of them would be sad for a while.

Harry still has Raven's homework in Comerlin, and their little princess is worthy of being a Lestrade, although they didn't deliberately teach Raven her homework before, but when Harry looked at Raven who was talking eloquently, he had to admit that their little sister, Princess Sapphire, was indeed a little genius.

There was a little innocence in Merlin's words, and Harry tilted his head to look at the baby bear in Merlin's arms and said with a smile: "If little Merlin goes to Hogwarts, I'm really worried that he will be bullied." ”

Merlin didn't think he would be bullied, he held the baby bear and looked up with pride, "I won't be bullied, I'm not as stupid as Harry!" ”

Harry looked at Merlin amusedly, and the little guy laughed at him for being stupid.

He pounced on Merlin and tickled Merlin, and got into a mess with Merlin.

Harry and Merlin are messing around here, Loki and Tony are already making a move, the two of them haven't fought for a long time, and this time it's purely caused by not seeing each other talk about each other for a long time. Loki is still measured when he fights with Tony, he doesn't use his magic, just fist-to-fist.

If Loki and his Hogwarts classmates fought, Thor would definitely go up to help, but anyway, Tony was also their brother, and Thor just sat on the sidelines and watched the battle by the way, discussing the two people's routines with Harold, who had the lowest force value in their family.

Two people have one thing in common when they fight is that they like to punch their faces, how to make each other ugly, sometimes the fists can't be too heavy, and the two of them will even start biting in their mouths, it should be said that they are full of routines.

Tony didn't know if he had gained some weight recently, but he suddenly flipped Loki to the ground, and he looked at Loki who was pressed under him a little proudly, "Loki, hurry up and admit defeat and I'll let go of your beautiful face." ”

After saying that, Tony also pinched Loki's face, if Loki's gender was changed, it would be like Tony was molesting the little girl.

Loki gritted his teeth, if this thing wasn't his brother, if he wasn't an ordinary person, he would have used a spell to hang people upside down outside the building, and then make his mouth no longer able to speak.

"Get up for me, Tony Lestrade, are you a pig! Why is it so heavy! It must be because of the relationship between the wide heart and the fat body, and I am looking forward to the day when you become a ball. ”

Loki was a little out of breath by Tony, who was indeed a lot fatter than before, but not yet like a ball.

Tony was really reluctant when he heard Loki's words, and moved his ass/stock, letting Loki kick his legs under him, "Loki Odinson, you have the ability to press me to the ground!" And the young master, I'm just a little chubby! ”

Loki snorted coldly and stared at Tony's little belly and said weirdly, "Oh, yes, slightly chubby." ”

Then Tony, whose self-esteem was frustrated, screamed and pounced on Loki's face and bit it, Lestrade had already gone to prepare their lunch, and came out of the kitchen when he heard the jingle sound, and by the way, he heard Loki's words, he looked at the little Tony who was pressing on Loki's body and touched his chin and said to his fiancé, "Tony is really a lot fatter." ”

"At least five pounds fatter, but it still looks pretty cute."

Lestrade looked at his fiancé and said are you sure it's really good for Tony to be so fat! Mycroft shrugged, he was fat when he was a kid anyway, wasn't he.

Hannibal and Will silently dodged, Loki and Tony had taken over the entire carpet, the two of them were very worried that they would be hurt innocently, half a year ago Hannibal made a fake identity and began to take the exams of various psychologists allowed on the Internet, and became a psychiatrist after passing the exams.

In Will's words, he was just one step ahead of his time, but this time with him looking at Hannibal, he wouldn't be the most suave-looking psychologist who was actually the most terrifying demon.

Now he has been introduced to a patient named John H. Watson, who lives in London, who has recently returned from the battlefield as a military medic and who served in the former Fifth Flame Regiment in Northumberland, and who may have had post-war syndrome, and his leg was lame due to a mental disorder.

Hannibal did not refuse this single consultation, but Watson's previous psychiatrist was not him, and Hannibal thought that he should not take Watson from the middle of the treatment, if it was really a psychological problem caused by the war, according to speculation, he was not suitable for a long-term change of psychiatrist, which would make him more impressed with his lameness. So before Hannibal began to talk to Watson, he only promised to enlighten John Watson.

They only started to contact today, and it was clear that Mr. John Watson was not very comfortable with online psychotherapy, but Hannibal told him that such psychotherapy was free of face-to-face troubles and that he could speak more freely.

Today is Christmas Eve, Watson was going to Harry's house, but Harry recently divorced her wife, plus she was drunk every day, so Watson saw it and had a headache, the two quarreled in the morning, which made Watson leave her home without any stopover, and returned to the rented house to spend Christmas Eve and Christmas alone.

As he sat in front of the computer, he thought of the business card his psychiatrist had given him earlier, and wondered if it would be rude for him to disturb the doctor on Christmas Eve, but he was bored.

He originally thought that the doctor would make an appointment to meet him, but who knew that the face-to-face conversation was all omitted, and the doctor said that it was just a good chat on the Internet, because when people look at each other face to face and talk to each other, there will be more complex psychology, and there are many simple words that will become unspeakable.

John agreed to the online treatment, but he still felt a little awkward.

He's been away from London for a few years, and he's been serving in the army in Afghanistan, and his phone and computer have become far away from his world, after his psychiatrist asked him to blog about things he had recently discovered or something he wanted to say. After two months of treatment, he had only written two blogs ten days ago, one called "Nothing" and the other "Pointless".

After that, he couldn't write a word, and often sat for a long time looking at the blank blog in front of him.

He looked at the psychiatrist named W on the other side and didn't know how to tell him his problem, and half an hour later, Dr. W took the initiative to change the topic with him, which made Watson breathe a sigh of relief for some reason.

The Dr. W asked him if he was still used to going back to London. And you can tell him a little bit about Afghanistan.

Because after changing the topic, Watson groaned/groaned, he stretched out two fingers on the keyboard and began to type down what he wanted to say, such as the emotion expressed about such a big change in London, etc., he found that this Dr. W is very talkative, probably not related to face-to-face, so Watson still likes to chat with him.

"I can recommend you a restaurant with good dishes, of course you have to eat something different on Christmas Eve, right?"

Watson smiled at the doctor who recommended him to go out for some delicious food, these hours of chatting made him feel a little relaxed, and his stomach was indeed hungry, so he accepted the doctor's advice to find the place he recommended.

Those places for good prices.

At the end, the doctor told him that maybe they could talk after the New Year, and that he could do something he wanted to do, or find friends, find people he wanted to meet.

Seeing these words, Watson pondered for a moment, he did have someone he wanted to see, but he couldn't find it.

On Christmas Eve last year, Lestrade agreed to Mycroft's marriage proposal, and this year Mycroft has already thought about marriage, although marriage seems to McCroft to be a bit cliché, but he still wants to enter the palace of marriage with Lestrade.

It's just that Lestrade refused, according to her that he was not ready to get married, there is a big difference between marriage and love, and he thought of his failed marriage......

McCroft never said that he wanted to force/force his fiancé anything, if he didn't want to, they could live like this for the rest of their lives, the two of them stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window and looked at the night scene outside, McCroft put his head on Lestrade's shoulder, he kissed Lestrade's ear and said: "Speaking of Sherlock, I have been living here, which makes me a little jealous, but fortunately, little Baby Charlie has finally taken the first step of growth." ”

Reestrade was angry and amused by Mycroft's words, but he was McCroft Holmes who had a strong desire at first, and besides, he had always lived here on weekdays, so how could he be so jealous.

"This time Sherlock finally found a reliable place to live, I still remember the place where he lived before, the place where the homeless gathered, and I really didn't believe him if he had a rich and powerful brother like you."

Lestrade is making fun of Mycroft, to be honest, if Mycroft is Sherlock's brother, it really makes Lestrade a little unconvinced, one is a little down, the other is in a luxury car in a mansion, there is really a world of difference.

"It's just that little Charlie is a little rebellious."

Sherlock looked at the two people who were talking badly about themselves and coughed heavily, they would be so crooked every Christmas Eve, as if the next second was the end of the world.

"I'm going to move after the New Year."

Sherlock came to the two of them, and he secretly glanced at Lestrade, and said to himself that only Lestrade could endure the two brothers, and if it were someone else, who would be the mediator between the two of them.

"We'll help, and by the way, let Harry show them around your new home before they go to school."

Reistrade has accepted that Sherlock is going to move away, in fact, Sherlock is like a younger brother and a bit like a child to him, Sherlock has a super high IQ, but because of his advanced antisocial personality, he is sometimes unacceptable to ordinary people, and Sherlock's clumsiness in self-care ability, so that Sherlock is sometimes still worried about whether he can really live by letting him out.

"Well, anyway, Harry will have to send me a letter in the future, and it's okay to recognize the door."

Sherlock wasn't at all worried about going out on his own, and it seemed to him better than anything else to be able to escape McCroft's control.

"The room here will always be reserved for you, and you are always welcome to come back if you want to come back."

Sherlock immediately turned away when he heard Lestrade's words, he hated such emotional words the most, and Lestrade was really as insensy as ever.

It was Sherlock's last Christmas with the Lestrades before he moved, but it wasn't all that uneventful. Harry woke up from his sleep, he heard someone talking in his ear, and when he opened his eyes and looked over, he saw a little elf standing by his bed, with big ears and round eyes, Harry immediately sat up and looked at the guy who didn't know what it was and said, "Who are you?!" ”

The elf-like species lowered its head, as if it was a little scared, "Dobby, my name is Dobby, and I'm a house-elf, the great Mr. Harry Potter. ”

Dobby didn't expect to scare Harry, he just wanted to warn Harry about something, so he risked running out tonight, he heard that Harry Potter had returned to his home, and to be honest, he had always thought that the villa he had sent his little master to last time was Harry Potter's home.

"Dobby?"

Harry frowned, house-elves, if memory serves, an enslaved race, he seems to have heard Ron say that his mother would be happy if they had a house-elf. Harry didn't know whose house-elf it was, and what he had done in his house.

Harry looked at the pillowcase-clad elf and opened his mouth, should he wake up his brothers and Sherlock by the way, and if he asked the elf to sit down, would he agree?

"Do you want to sit down, I think you have something to tell me?"

"Sit down......" Dobby's big eyes looked like tears were about to well-up in his eyes, he looked excited, but he didn't sit down, just stood there and tugged at the corners of his clothes with his dry hands, and then Dobby began to bump into the stool in Harry's room without warning, and said, "I'm here to warn Harry Potter, Harry Potter is too willful and reckless, you shouldn't go back to the wizarding world." ”

Harry heard Dobby's words and suddenly remembered the warning letter from earlier, the one that appeared in the McCroft villa half a year ago.

"You've already punished yourself, so Dobby can stop." Harry had read books about house-elves and would punish themselves if they disobeyed their master's wishes, which is why Harry hadn't stopped Dobby in the first place.

Dobby looked at Harry as he stopped to hit his head, and Harry looked into his eyes and said seriously, "You sent that letter from half a year ago, right?" ”

Dobby nodded and began to bang frantically against the stool again, just then Harry's door suddenly opened, and Harry and Dobby looked at the person standing in front of their door at the same time, Loki.

Loki seemed to be woken up, and he looked at Dobby and Harry with a blank face and said, "What is this, Harry." ”

"House-elf, Dobby."

Dobby watched Loki shrink his neck, it seemed that he was a little scared of Loki, but he didn't stop punishing himself, he was a bad elf here saying something he shouldn't say, Loki looked at Dobby who made a thumping sound and couldn't help but freeze him in place.

"It's finally quiet."

The bear children, who had been sleeping because of the movement, also got up, and Harry looked apologetically at his brothers and said, "We're here." ”

Lestrade and McCroft stood at the end and looked at the strange little thing and said, "Since we're all awake, let's talk in another place." ”

Dobby's heart is a little messy/messy, he was actually moved to the living room of Lestrade's house, he was given time by the little boy Loki Odinson just now, according to common sense the elves have powerful magic, but he found that he couldn't break free from Loki's curse, Dobby prayed to himself in his heart that his master would not find out about his absence.

Sherlock had already circled Dobby several times, and it was the first time he had seen Manager Xiao, so it was common for him to feel curious, and if it wasn't for Lestrade being there to stop him, Sherlock would probably have to carry Dobby to unravel.

"I didn't deprive him of the right to speak, so now I can ask questions."

Today, Loki did not stay in Thor's arms, but was held in the arms of Lestrade, he could see that his little angel of Loki was sleepy and in the stage of temper outburst, in order to prevent Loki from freezing all their houses, Lestrade chose to comfort Loki.

"Okay, Dobby, you can go on and talk about why you warned me not to go to Hogwarts half a year ago."

Harry knew that Dobby had done this, and Dobby was perfectly fit for the idea that he could quietly enter the Mycroft Villa.

"Because someone wants to hurt Harry Potter."

Lestrade frowned when he heard Dobby's words, someone wants to hurt their own children? What a situation it is. After seeing the change in Lestrade's feelings, Loki snapped his fingers, Dobby's body began to freeze gradually, and Loki sighed and said, "You'd better tell everything you know." ”

Dobby shook his head vigorously, he had said enough, he couldn't name his master, and he overheard it.

Loki saw Dobby shaking his head and snorted coldly, he really didn't shed tears when he saw the coffin, so don't ......

Lestrade held Loki's hand down, he shook his head, although they didn't understand the affairs of the wizarding world, but he didn't say that there should be some truth.

Lestrade gestured to Mycroft that if the house-elf named Dobby didn't want to say something, maybe Mycroft could see something. Mycroft nodded, they really had to be careful if Harry's safety was involved.

He looked Dobby up and down, this elf should not hurt Harry, but because of the peculiarity of the elf, he couldn't say something.

"You like Harry a lot, don't you? Because of his reputation in the wizarding world? ”

Mycroft asked Dobby in the affirmative, but he won a roll of his brother's eyes, and Sherlock said, "Dead fatty, you must have been short-sighted lately, and according to the habits of house-elves, if he hadn't liked Harry very much, he wouldn't have been here, on Christmas night." ”

Sherlock wanted to draw some of Dobby's blood to study it, and he thought that house-elves were amazing and a little pitiful, and they even thought it was an honor to serve their masters, and it would be a shame for them to be rewarded with clothes by their masters.

"House-elves are all found in some old wizarding families, and I think even Harry's danger is related to those old families." Sherlock observed Dobby, his eyes rolling when he heard that the old family was still in danger, but he still didn't speak.

"You must have eavesdropped on your master's conversation, and I don't think anyone would do it in front of an elf when they were plotting something."

Dobby bit his lip, the Muggle in front of him had guessed correctly, he had inadvertently overheard the conversation between the two masters and realized that they had some dangerous calculations for Harry, and he couldn't let them hurt the great Harry Potter.

"But you know where my house is, so you should have been here before, right?"

Dobby lowered his head, he had seen Harry Potter in a hurry when he sent the little master over, but because he was invisible, Harry Potter didn't see him, he knew that Harry Potter lived here at that time, and he couldn't figure out why the big master wanted to hurt the little master's friend.

"Are you...... Is the Malfoy house-elf right? ”

In fact, it is easy to guess, not many people know about the Mycroft family, especially those who are related to the wizarding world, only Draco and Weasley have come to Mycroft's villa at that time, and Draco was sent by the house elves, which can completely explain the previous problems, why the letter appeared in the McCroft's villa.

Dobby had been misled about Harry's birthday and hadn't had enough time to get to the apartment when he found out, so he left the note.

Dobby let out a piercing scream, and he was about to be whipped, as they saw that they belonged to the Malfoy family.

At this time, Lestrade was a little confused, if the elves of other families could still be reasonable, but their family had always had some dealings with the Malfoy family, and if they wanted to do Harry's detriment, they should also consider their partnership.

Mycroft shook Lestrade's hand, he thought there should be some misunderstanding here, but he couldn't let his guard down too much, Lucius Malfoy had some black history after all, who could guarantee that he would not be in contact with them when he was in second hand preparations.

"Dobby is a bad elf, Dobby is a bad elf."

Harry didn't feel too much surprise, he had this idea before, but because of the relationship between the two families at that time, he forced himself not to think about it. But judging by Lucius's attitude towards him afterwards, he didn't think that the Malfoys wanted to hurt him.

"Dobby what did you overhear?"

"I can't say, Dobby can't say, I warned Harry Potter not to go back to the wizarding world, and even wanted to force you away if you were in danger, but Harry Potter was too bent on doing it."

Dangerous? Harry twitched the corners of his mouth, the most dangerous thing he'd encountered recently was that crazy Bludger, so Dobby did that thing to force him away?

It turns out that Dobby really has something to do with it, and Dobby continues: "I wanted to warn Harry Potter, but Harry Potter and the little master were lying in the same bed/. ”

Harry covered his eyes, Loki and Thor didn't know about sleeping in the same bed with Draco, and he was speechless when he saw his brothers' gossip eyes.

In fact, he was tempted to say that things were not like that, that he was just...... Afraid of the dark.

"What did you overhear, Dobby."

This time it was Loki who asked, and he accentuated his tone, Loki had a good relationship with Draco, so he didn't believe that this matter had anything to do with Draco, that kid was not a bad person despite being tsundere and a little mischievous on weekdays.

And in Loki's opinion, Draco is very smart, and if Lucius really did something, he can't hide it from Draco.

"The host and the hostess talked about Harry Potter and ...... There's also the issue of the Dark Lord, where they mention danger, and the question of hands-on. ”

Dobby finally spoke up, and Loki's coercion on him made him have to say that now Dobby was of little use to them, and Lestrade kissed Loki's forehead and said, "You can let him go." ”

Regardless of whether there is any misunderstanding in this, they also need to cheer up, Dobby overheard it after all, so the accuracy of the news is up for debate, but if they really want to move Harry, the Lestrade family will definitely not be relentless.

Before letting go of Dobby, Sherlock pumped a tube of his blood, he wanted to study the comparison between such elves and normal human and animal blood, Sherlock also cared about this time, you must know that Sherlock is sometimes very arrogant, he has not publicly admitted that this is his home, and Lestrade is his family, but in his heart he has already admitted it countless times.

Don't want anyone to hurt his family, including the dead fat man.

After Dobby left, the Lestrade family didn't go to sleep right away, they needed to discuss this stern matter, and there was some credibility about Dobby's words.

The first problem is that Dobby overheard, and from his narration, you can feel that Dobby's hearing is intermittent and incomplete, so it is normal for him to miss something, or misunderstand the meaning.

The second is about their cooperation, there are a few people in their family who can look at people, and they don't think that Lucius will be stupid enough to stand on the opposite side of them, especially now, and they should know what Loki did before this, so Mycroft thinks that even fools know that cooperation makes more money than hostility.

After the silence fell in the house, the first to speak was Loki, who sat in Lestrade's arms.

"I don't think the Malfoys would do anything to Harry, and even if they wanted to, I think they needed to gauge what they were capable of."

Of course, Thor was on Loki's side, and the next one to speak after Loki was Hannibal, who had carefully observed the Malfoys, they were knowledgeable about current affairs, and although they didn't have much sincerity in this family relationship, they also had a lot of thought in it, and it wouldn't be good for them to tear their faces right now.

"It can't be denied that Dobby will hear the wrong thing, if I were Lucius Malfoy, I would have been prepared for both, just standing behind Harry's back, he can get more benefits, Harry is like a beacon in the wizarding world, as long as he has a reputation, he will not lose his investment in the Malfoy family."

At the end of the day, collaboration is just investment.

Harold nodded, Lucius is not only a politician but also a businessman, judging from the probability, after Loki and Harry showed their abilities, the odds of him making a move should be narrowed rather than increased.

A few small ones didn't say too much, Harry had been silent, and McCroft rarely had this kind of thought, the Dark Lord had already failed once, some people said that he was just hiding and preparing to make a comeback, but a person who had already failed once could still have a chance of winning again, and the Malfoy family, who were once Death Eaters, should also know the consequences of making a mistake in line, they wouldn't make a second mistake.

Because the second mistake may be a disaster for a family.

But they also need to be prepared with both hands.

"I also think there is a misunderstanding here."

Harry opened his mouth, the matter was a threat to his personal safety, so he thought about it for a long time, and after hearing his brothers' analysis, he decided that believing Draco once was not believing Malfoy, but trusting his friend, the little bastard.

"I trust Draco, he has a sincere approach to our dealings, not a false one."

Now everyone looked at Receptrian, who was sitting there, the head of the family, Harry's father, and they all wanted to know what Reistrid's answer was.

"We need to be prepared with both hands, and if they dare to hurt my children, I'll let them try my bullets." ”

The temporary crisis is resolved, and whether they are calculating Harry or not will have to wait for time to answer.
