Chapter 040: An Unbreakable Oath

Draco was caught off guard, and the broom suddenly lost control, and hurriedly grabbed Harry's team uniform, trying to borrow strength, but instead pulled him off the "Light Wheel 2000", which was pressed by the weight of the two boys and fell straight down.

"Help!" Draco exclaimed, and Catherine immediately jumped on her "Halo 2000" and rushed towards them, throwing two levitation charms at them in front of them before they slammed them to the ground, without the drag of the two boys, "Halo 2001" also asked for the fate of falling to pieces.

"Catherine! Something happened to Potter! Draco had just landed on the ground and found Harry's hand broken, and the man was unconscious.

Catherine was about to land, but the Bludger that had hurt Harry turned around and rushed towards him.

"Dare!" Catherine was furious, she jumped off the broomstick and struck the Bludger with her left fist, her weight under the effect of gravitational acceleration, plus all her strength and all her magic, and she actually blew the Bludger directly.

"Wow!" Drake stared dumbfounded at Catherine, who landed gracefully in front of him, he really didn't expect her force value to be so high.

"This idiot!" Catherine checked Harry's condition and found that he had only fainted in pain, but his right hand was still holding the Golden Snitch.

"Beep!" Mrs. Hodge blew her final whistle and Slytherin and Gryffindor were tied 150-150 again.

Harry paid the price of a broken hand, only to get things back to the point where the duel was dueling, which was the best-case scenario for Wood; But for Flint, it was not very cost-effective, after all, the odds were so great, it was still a draw, and he regretted it very much, regretting that he didn't score another goal.

Percy was glad that he had uncovered the Slytherin plot in advance, and that the backup plan had forced Gryffindor to be so dangerous, and he couldn't imagine how far things would have gotten if he hadn't intervened; Ixissi wasn't too disappointed, it's good to do it once and for all, but it can also prepare early if you force Gryffindor to expose your shortcomings in advance.

Draco was shocked by Harry's tenacity, his hands were broken, and he insisted on snatching the Golden Snitch in his hands, which made him know where he needed to improve; Ron and the others also had a change in their attitude towards Draco, after all, it was he who caught Harry and prevented Harry from falling into a serious injury.

It was the best outcome for a duel with such a big stake, neither Slytherin nor Gryffindor had much to lose, and the crowd enjoyed a good match, with Lockhart probably the only one dissatisfied.

He didn't seem to feel like he had a chance to play, so as the crowd was about to send Harry to the medical wing, Lockhart rushed in, claiming that he could easily get Harry's arm right.

"It's a simple spell, I've used it countless times...... Lockhart brawl shamelessly, spinning his wand for a "stunning" performance.

"My friend," said Catherine, who was still angry, grabbed him by the arm and threw him over the top of the crowd with an over-the-shoulder throw, "no need for a 'pillow'! ”

The boys burst into laughter, and the girls, worried about Lockhart's situation, were still laughed at Catherine's words.

"Catherine did the right thing!" In the medical wing, Madam Pomfrey happily praised the red-haired girl's actions, "If this Embroidery-Professor is really treated, I suspect Harry will have to spend the night here tonight!" She had just taken a second to catch the brunette boy's arm.

"Catherine!" Before the red-haired girl could say anything, Snape's roar suddenly came through the door, breaking the amiable atmosphere in the medical wing, and when his figure appeared in the doorway, the surrounding temperature suddenly dropped to freezing, "Follow me to the office!" ”

"Yes!" Catherine obediently left, not even daring to say goodbye to the others, her reckless search for death just now had definitely annoyed Snape completely.

"Humph!" Snape snorted coldly and strode towards his office, freezing countless critters along the way.

"I made a mistake, that's why I made amends!" As soon as she entered the Potions Professor's office, Catherine voluntarily confessed to her actions.

"So how are you going to make it up to me?" It was only after blurting out that Snape realized that the sentence was a little strange, but Catherine didn't seem to notice, so he pretended not to know.

"How about a month's supper?" Catherine asked cautiously with a wink, she knew that Snape often stayed up late to study potions, and that the temptation of a late-night snack was not small.

"One semester." Actually, Snape could have allowed the school's house-elves to do it, but Catherine made it more to his liking, and "bargaining is a Slytherin instinct." ”

"Then you're not going to use it as an excuse anymore, are you?" Catherine decided to get a guarantee.

"The next time you do it again, you just wait to be a cook for the rest of your life!" Snape sat down on the couch and smirked.

Catherine shuddered fiercely, cursing Snape for being mean.

"Godfather!" The office door suddenly opened, and Draco walked in, followed by Lucius, "Ah! Catherine! My father is looking for you! ”

Catherine looked at Lucius, but instead of speaking immediately, he closed the door and cast a precautionary detection spell before calling Dobby, who was trembling, before speaking.

"I'm so sorry for what he did," Lucius glared at him in a frightened look than he curled up on the ground, "but that's definitely not my intention. His voice was still so arrogant, without a hint of apology.

"Actually, there is nothing." Catherine smiled, "He just made me break my wand and let Ron steal his father's car and make Harry think someone was after him!" ”

Drake stared at Dobby dumbfounded, he didn't expect the famous "Flying Car Incident" to be the work of a house-elf who was waiting for his father.

"Miss Catherine," Lucius glared at the red-haired girl, his tone very cold, "you mean ......"

"What is Mr. Malfoy going to do with him?" Catherine looked at Dobby and changed the subject.

"Him!" Lucius snorted coldly, and slammed his cane into the floor, "Will spend the rest of your life in the dungeon!" Dobby instantly lost all the strength to support him, and he spread out on the ground like mud.

"Can you give it to me?" Catherine looked at Lucius with a smile, "After all, he's already a superfluous waste to you, isn't he?" Why waste food on it? ”

Both Snape and Draco looked at Catherine in shock, they didn't think she wouldn't know what Dobby's previous job was with the Malfoy family, and they didn't think she would know why Lucius had done that to Dobby.

"Do you really want him?" Lucius stared at Catherine, anger in his voice.

"I need a servant to call." Catherine did not say her name, leaving room for manoeuvre.

Silence, a very long silence.

Draco was so overwhelmed by the strange atmosphere that he didn't dare to take a breath, barely daring to even make the gesture of watching the faces of others; Snape looked at Dobby with a blank face, as if no one else existed; Lucius was nervously calculating gains and losses in his head, and at the same time had to stare at Catherine, guessing her thoughts; And Catherine, though she looked at Lucius the same, kept that gentle smile on her face throughout.

"Yes!" Lucius abruptly agreed to Catherine's request, "From this moment on—" he clenched his cane and announced loudly, "Dobby, the house-elf of the Malfoy family!" A green ray of light connected his right wrist to Dobby's chest, "It will go to Miss Catherine!" The end of the light drifted from Lucius's right wrist and wrapped around Catherine's right wrist.

"Thank you, Mr. Malfoy!" Catherine shook her right hand slightly, letting the green light fade in.

"Hopefully he'll do your bidding." Lucius smirked.

"He will!" Catherine smiled again.

"Farewell!" Lucius nodded to Snape and opened the door to leave, and Draco scrambled to catch up with his father after gesturing to Catherine for a closer chat.

"You've put so much effort into it today just to get this disobedient guy!" Snape's cold tone made Dobby, who was lying on the ground tremble, even more violently.

"Harry needs protection, an unexpected protection." Catherine took Snape's wand, handed it to him, and walked over to Dobby and crouched down, holding the dirty little hand.

"Would you like to stay with Harry instead of me?" She pleaded earnestly.

Dobby looked up at Catherine in shock, and clear tears instantly overflowed his eyes and flooded all over his face.

"I do!" Dobby screamed, unaware that Catherine had not only prevented Lucius from punishing him, but also allowed him to fulfill his wish to protect Harry Potter.

A thin, dazzling tongue of fire erupted from Snape's wand like a red, hot wire wrapped around the hands of him and Catherine.

"When Harry is in danger, when there is a real threat to his life, are you willing to stand in front of him and protect him?"

"I do!" Dobby trembled violently and screamed loudly.

A second tongue of fire erupted from the wand, intertwining with the first, forming a thin, red-glowing chain.

"Even if it costs everything you have, your life, you-" Catherine looked at Dobby with great seriousness, "will you still be willing to save Harry?" ”

"I do!" Dobby reached out to wipe away his tears, slammed himself up from the ground, and replied aloud with great excitement.

A third tongue of fire erupted from the wand, illuminating Dobby's filthy face, intertwined with the two before it, tightly wrapped around the two hands they were holding, like a rope, like a fire-breathing snake.

"I only have two last requests left—" Catherine said to Dobby with a smile as she let go of her hand.
