Two days later, Mr. Weasley picked Harry out.

However, the communication between the two sides was not very good, and according to Harry's uncle Dursley, Harry had ruined an important business for him.

That's the rig project he's been talking about for a long time, and it's also about whether he can be promoted and raised, become a general manager, become a CEO, and marry again...... Ahem, the hope of reaching the pinnacle of life.

But Harry ...... Unexpectedly, daringly, the sin was so unforgivable that he would have made an afternoon of pudding cake, which was thrown from the ceiling, and ruined the Masons.

Later, an owl was found, causing Mrs. Mason, who was allergic to birds, to leave angrily.

According to Mr. Weasley's account, he was terrified that if Dursley was a wizard, he might have given Harry an Arvada for his life.

Mr. Weasley discussed there for a long time, but the other party just wouldn't let him go.

It wasn't until lunchtime that Mr. and Mrs. Dursley thought that he was going to eat any longer;

Or maybe the two of them were afraid that the neighbors would find out that there was a strange person in the house, and they wouldn't have to see Harry for a month...... Anyway, for all sorts of reasons, they finally agreed to let Mr. Weasley take Harry.

"I didn't!"

Sitting in William's small courtyard, Harry pleaded loudly.

Soon, Harry told them about Dobby, the warning it had given him.

After he finished speaking, the courtyard was heavy for a long time.

"Very suspicious." Fred said.

"Obviously very strange," echoed George, "and he won't even tell you who's planning this?" ”

"I don't think he can say." Harry said, "I said that every time he was about to confide something, he banged his head against the wall. ”

"House-elves can't tell anyone about their master without their master's permission." William explained. "He'll punish himself."

Fred and George looked at each other. "That's right, he clearly disobeyed his master's orders and went to inform Harry...... This is completely inconsistent with the character of the elf. ”

"What, you think he's lying to me?" Harry said.

"Well," said Fred, "let's put it this way—house-elves are also very good at magic, but they are generally not allowed to use magic without the permission of their masters, let alone run away to reveal their master's secrets.

I think Dobby was sent to stop you from going back to Hogwarts, and someone was trying to trick you by saying those things on purpose. ”

George asked, "Do you have any enemies at school?" ”

"Yes." Harry and Ron immediately said in unison.

"Draco. Malfoy," Harry explained, "he hated me. ”

William's eyelids lifted slightly, and he drank a cup of tea, and Malfoy would probably be heartbroken to hear Harry say such things.

"In fact, it's easy to find out whose house elf Dobby is." William said.

"What a method." Several people looked at William.

"Just go to the Hogwarts kitchen and ask." William shrugged.

"There are a lot of house-elves in the kitchens of Hogwarts, and these elves often communicate with each other, learn from each other, and compete in cleaning skills.

There will always be those who know Dobby. ”

"That's right!" Fred clapped his palms.

Harry also nodded eagerly, as he should have told everyone, things were much simpler all of a sudden.

"What? Hogwarts also has a large number of house-elves? Hermione frowned.

She suddenly discovers that Dobby's house-elf is not what she knows.

The Nicols were always humble and courteous, well-dressed and wands.

But Harry's description of Dobby seems to be miserable.

And now she had heard that Hogwarts also had a large number of house-elves.

She'd never seen it before.

Fred wondered, "Of course, there are more than a hundred of them at Hogwarts, and all of our luggage is that they moved to the dormitory." There are also a variety of meals for dinner. ”

"I haven't seen any of them!" Hermione said.

"They rarely leave the kitchen during the day." George said, "Come out at night and clean up...... Take care of the stove or something...... You shouldn't have seen them.

The mark of a good house-elf is that you don't even know he exists, and my mom always wanted one. ”

Hermione frowned. "So, do they get paid?"

"Do they have a holiday? And - do they have sick leave, pensions, all kinds of everything? ”

Ron laughed, he laughed so hard.

"Don't be funny, Hermione, house-elves don't need sick days and pensions.

They just need to work, and they love to serve wizards. ”

"!" Hermione said angrily, "I've seen a lot of house-elves in Nicol's manor, and they all have various vacations.

Mercury even asked us to give him a good review, which was related to his year-end bonus, and I wrote him a lot of reviews.

Isn't it, William? ”

William was quick to tell the elves of the Nicol family.

"However, they have gold in their house, and although the Philosopher's Stone is gone now, Nicolame doesn't care." Ron muttered.

Dumbledore had already spread the word about the destruction of the Philosopher's Stone, and perhaps it would be a hundred years before everyone would find out that Nicolame was lying.

Harry obviously didn't want them to continue arguing, and he interrupted, "Let's not discuss this matter for now, we're going to play in Stoat Mountain, can you go?" ”

"Don't go!" Hermione spread out the textbook in front of her, "We're going to study." ”

Harry looked at the four strange combinations lying on the small table.

William was holding a thick book with strange words written on the cover, which he couldn't read anyway.

Hermione was reading the Potions textbook, and judging by her progress, she was already finishing her second year.

Anne was honestly writing Hermione's assignment.

The girl named Luna was holding a magazine, but she had taken it upside down.

"O Merlin! Is this summer vacation? Harry muttered inwardly, too.

No! No, if he continues to stay here, he will feel guilty, guilty of wasting his summer vacation.

Apparently, several others thought the same way, and the twin brothers got up to say goodbye.

After the group had left, Hermione picked up William's teacup and drank the water in one gulp.

She said angrily: "This is slave labor, this is naked exploitation. ”

"That's not entirely true, Hermione." William closed the book.

"You've just heard about Dobby's situation, all kinds of punishments, which are common in large families.

But that's not the case at Hogwarts, I've seen house-elves in the kitchen, and they're so happy that they don't even want to go to wizarding homes. ”

"But ......"

"You know[.] How many years did it take for Dawn to remove the servility of the elves in the house? ”

Hermione shook her head.

"Six hundred years."

"A house-elf has a lifespan of two hundred years, and it took Nicol almost three generations to remove the servility of the elves from his estate.

Do you feel like you have that much time? ”

"However, we can spread the word that it is better for the elves and improve their lives." Hermione said seriously.

William shook his head and said softly, "History tells us that top-down reforms never succeed easily.

Power is not given by those who are superior, but by those who are inferior...... Take the initiative to fight for it! ”
