Chapter 016: The Riots Caused by the "Savior" (Part I)

"Harry Potter!" Dobby's face was filled with disbelief, "I actually know Mr. Harry Potter!" ”

Poppy shouted in equal surprise, "The little master actually introduced us to Mr. Harry Potter!" ”

"Quiet!" Draco hurriedly stopped their madness, "Be happy and wait until you get home." ”

"Let's keep them incognito for now, so as not to attract the attention of the Muggles." Catherine said as the two house-elves realized their situation and disappeared from their eyes without waiting for Draco's orders.

"Can someone explain?" Harry wondered if he had been dazzled.

"I'll tell you." Catherine preemptively gave up the lead, and Draco gave up his voice to the girl in a gentlemanly manner.

"They were originally weak creatures, and in order to survive, they made a contract with wizards to help them with household chores in exchange for the protection of wizards, so they were called house-elves. With the security of survival and the changes of history, the house-elves have become a new race, and they take pride in their hard work and praise from their masters. They serve the wizard they have contracted with for the rest of their lives, and they are not freed unless their master hands them a piece of clothing. But in the idea of house-elves, this is a very shameful thing. ”

"What a strange creature!" Harry frowned, apparently still having a complete understanding of the "concept" of house-elves.

"As 'the same kind', shouldn't you feel the same way?" Draco asked, raising an eyebrow, his words causing Harry's eyes to widen immediately.

"Now is not the time to quarrel, there are less than six days left to leave school, and we have to hurry." Catherine spoke up to stop the hostility of the two boys.

Draco curled the corners of his mouth into a triumphant gesture towards Harry, who secretly swung his fist at him before looking at Catherine.

"So where are we going now?"

"I'll help you buy clothes first." Catherine said.

"Stretch out your left hand." Draco said arrogantly, tilting his head.

Seeing Catherine stretch out his hand as well, Harry did so, and then he found a small hand holding his left hand, but before he could ask aloud, his eyes went dark, and before he could understand his situation, he found that they were already standing in a strange street, and the pedestrians who came and went on the street did not show any surprise at their sudden appearance, and even the two house-elves were no longer invisible.

"This is Cress Street, a place that sells the most popular and fashionable items in the wizarding world." Catherine opened her mouth to answer his questions.

"Let's go, don't waste time." Draco urged, leading the way into the Kress club.

The price of Kress Street was definitely not affordable for ordinary wizards, let alone a freshman who had just entered the wizarding world, so Draco didn't give Harry the right to choose at all, but found an excuse to make up for his birthday present, and helped him choose a dozen popular clothes, fortunately he also listened to Catherine's advice and ordered some low-key ones, which gave Harry the illusion that they were cheaper.

And Catherine also used the same excuse to take them to the outskirts of London, a manor dedicated to the upper class of the Muggle world, and Harry, who was dazzled by its prosperity, had no idea what the girl had chosen for him, and even less that the two of them had given him a suitcase with a small space that had almost filled the suitcase with a small space given by the Cress Club.

And when the three of them had enough to play and returned to 4 Privet Road, if it weren't for Catherine and Draco's testimony, the Dursleys wouldn't have believed that the shy little handsome guy standing in front of them was Harry Potter, who had lived in their house for almost ten years.

"I've never seen anyone look like this," Draco laughed out loud as he got back to 17 Spidertail Alley, "their mouths are ready to fit into dragon eggs." ”

"You'll have to admit it," Catherine smiled, too, "that he was terrible, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to achieve such a contrast." ”

"Looks like you've done something big!" A cold tone dissipated the joy of the two children.

"Godfather!" Draco hurriedly looked at Snape, then realized that his parents were there, "Mom and Dad, why are you here?" ”

"Do you remember what time it is?" Narcissa stood up and asked angrily, "You brought Catherine back so late!" ”

"Lady Malfoy, please don't blame him." Catherine quickly explained, "Because I mentioned that I was going to Harry, I had some extra time outside of the trip. ”

"Harry?" Lucius asked, puzzled.

"Harry Potter!" Draco immediately explained excitedly, "Catherine knows where he lives, so we're going to go out with him, you don't know ......"

Draco's voice grew quieter and quieter as he noticed that the faces of his three elders had become ugly when he heard the name "Savior".

"I'm sorry, Severus!" Lucius got up and walked over to his son, "Looks like we're going to have to go home first." ”

"No." Snape made a rare polite remark, but before the Malfoys could leave, he pointed to the seat across from him, apparently ready to have a detailed conversation with Catherine.

"How did you find Harry Potter?" As soon as the Malfoys disappeared from the living room, Snape asked.

"Why can't you find it?" Catherine asked rhetorically.

"Dumbledore has made some arrangements using the protective magic that Lily has left on him," Snape thought for a moment before telling the truth, "to make sure that as long as Potter stays at his aunt's house, he won't be found by anyone with malicious intentions." ”

"I asked someone to investigate you," Catherine told the truth, "and I also looked into Lily Evans, so I found out Harry's address, but he didn't seem to be doing well. ”

"How?"

"He doesn't have anything of his own, he wears all the items his cousin has knocked out, and he has to do all the housework." With Harry's simplicity, he didn't have to spend any words on the other two children, and he kept telling everything himself.

"How dare she do that!" Snape shouted angrily.

"In a way," Catherine found Snape's anger a little overdone, "he had a worse childhood than I did." ”

"Huh?" Snape was puzzled.

"His aunt and uncle spoiled their son," Catherine explained from the perspective of a bystander, "but refused to give him even a shred of affection." ”

"What about you?" Snape suddenly stopped worrying about Harry Potter.

"At least I don't have such a stark contrast around me, and if I work hard, I can improve my life." Catherine smiled, "Anyway, it taught me how to survive safely in an unfamiliar environment." ”

"Do you think Hogwarts is unsafe?" Snape asked.

"Hogwarts has over 300 students and less than 20 staff."

"Hogwarts faculty aren't just living wizards."

"And what else?" Catherine asked.

"You'll find out when you get there." Snape abruptly shifted the subject, "Now it's time for you to go to bed." ”

Catherine frowned slightly and glared at Snape to express her displeasure, but he ignored her feelings and opened the secret door to the second floor.

"Is it necessary to be so secretive?" Catherine got up and asked, but Snape only snorted coldly in reply.

"Does Catherine know Harry Potter's address?" As soon as he returned to Malfoy Manor, Lucius asked his son.

"It should be Harry suing her. Actually, you'd have seen him the day you went shopping in Diagon Alley," Draco gestured, "the dark-haired boy who was with Hagrid." ”

"That kid who wears clothes that don't fit at all and smells of fish!" Narcissa asked in surprise.

"Yes!" Draco's expression suddenly became mysterious, "Do you know what his life is like?" ”

This pretended mysterious expression was exchanged for the Malfoys' glare, which frightened Draco into telling Harry all about it.

"Do they think of the 'savior' as a 'house elf'?" It's really a family, and even the first impression evaluation is the same.

"If you don't believe you, ask Dobby and Bobby, and they can't lie to you." Draco hurriedly pulled out the "witness".

Mr. and Mrs. Malfoy looked at the two house-elves, Bobby nodded hurriedly, and Dobby said, "Mr. Harry Potter is so pitiful!" ”

Ignoring Dobby's lamentation, the Malfoys looked at each other and fell silent until Draco couldn't stand the strange atmosphere until Lucius spoke again.

"You're going out together tomorrow?"

"Of course!" Draco nodded hurriedly, "We're all agreed." ”

"Then play those games with them."

"Those games, you mean—" Draco looked at his father in surprise.

Lucius nodded, and Draco's eyes lit up.

"I'll go get ready now!" He yelled and ran back to his room.

"Don't make it too late!" Narcissa shouted with concern, "Go to bed early!" ”

"Got it, Mom!"

Although Hagrid was the first to let Harry know that he was a wizard, this careless guy did not tell Harry in detail what the difference between the wizarding world and the Muggle world was, and it was not until the sudden appearance of Catherine and Draco that Harry really understood what kind of world the wizarding world was and how he could fit into it and become a real wizard.

And the two of them are too delicate, although Hagrid gave Harry an owl, and children do like pets, but Catherine and Draco know better what Harry needs most at the moment, what he needs is self-confidence.

So when Harry returned to his bedroom, he stood stupidly in front of the mirror, looking at his new appearance, until Penny suddenly pushed the door open.

"Aunt Penny!" Harry hurriedly turned to look at his elders, he wanted to follow Catherine's example and Draco to make himself appear more confident, but instead made himself more helpless, "What's the matter?" ”

"Don't be nervous!" Petunia softened her voice with difficulty, "I just wanted to ask you about Catherine. She smiled embarrassedly.
