"Dobby really gave money, Dobby knew that he had to pay for things...... In order to make it more convenient for the boss, Dobby also helped him put Yinxike directly into the cash box in the drawer! ”

"Oh, I guess you should put the money in the hands of the boss, or at least somewhere else he can see."

"Hermione, I don't think it matters anymore, it's ...... Dobby, would you wear socks? And also has its own Yinxike? ”

"Isn't that hood the most problematic? It looks like a thief wears it no matter how you look at it......"

Maca watched as Hermione, Ron, and Harry gathered around Dobby, the house-elf, and you and I asked, all of them looking curious. Not for anything else, just because Dobby is really an outlier among the house-elves.

All right! Maybe he shouldn't be called a "house-keel" now, because he seems to be free now?

"Dobby, I remember when you were brought back to Malfoy Manor by Lucius, right? Why are you here now? What happened to the Malfoys again? Maca waved her hand at the group, and then asked Dobby, "I don't think it's possible for Lady Malfoy to give you freedom, right?" ”

Lucius is still locked up in the Ministry of Magic - he didn't even participate in the escape, as if forgotten by everyone; Draco has been at Hogwarts lately, living a depressed life.

If Malfoy Manor still had an owner, it would be Draco's mother, Lady Malfoy.

"Oh! Sir, do you know Dobby's old owner? When Dobby heard this, he suddenly showed a sad expression, and his big bat-like ears drooped down in distress, "Since the master was taken away, the house has become empty...... Poor lady, couldn't sleep all night long. Probably because Madame was not careful enough, she handed Dobby some of the coats that needed to be changed, instead of handing them to the maid as usual. All right...... Since the Dark Lord arrived, the maids were gone, so how could she leave her change of clothes to a group of people who didn't exist? ”

"And you're leaving?" Maca thought for a moment and said, "You know you're different from other house-elves, and you've always wanted to get a more 'valuable' job......"

"No, no, Dobby didn't leave." The elf tugged at his ears and shook his head vigorously again, "There is no one in the family at all, if Dobby is also gone, how will the lady live?" But...... But ......"

"But what?" Hermione asked hurriedly.

Just listening to Dobby's few words, it can almost outline a particularly bleak family scene. In this case, even Ron, who has always been disgusted with the Malfoy family, is difficult to gloat for a while.

"Madame is gone," Dobby said miserably, with a crying voice, "Dobby didn't even notice when she was gone, and all at once she was gone—she disappeared from the house!" Dobby doesn't know what to do, but Dobby can't just stay at home and wait...... Dobby told himself that he should come out and look for it. ”

"As far as I know, the Malfoys don't take care of you, huh? Is it worth it for you to run out and find it alone? What's more, you're all free now! Maca glanced at Dobby's ragged clothes, which were obviously made from old clothes, but they were still a decent set of clothes.

You know, house-elves don't wear clothes all their lives, they only wrap a pillowcase around their bodies, and they just tie a few knots and hang them on their bodies so that they don't fall off.

For every house-elf, being given clothes by their master's house is equivalent to giving them freedom. Not to mention whether the house-elves with deep-rooted ideas of enslavement can accept it, at least Dobi still likes freedom very much.

"The old master didn't ...... Dobby" Dobby was about to say something, but in a blink of an eye, he realized that he had said something he shouldn't have said, and he looked a little panicked, "No, no—bad Dobby!" The old owner was very nice to Dobby, had food and shelter, and a lot of work to do every day - how could Dobby speak ill of the master? ”

"Do you call this 'good for you'?" Hermione muttered, "I don't think so......"

However, Dobby was obviously not very interested in Hermione's words, although he was indeed different from other house-elves, but the idea of house-elves for generations also set a yardstick for him. At least when it comes to "working for wizards", which is close to a mission, he is not resistant.

“…… In short, Dobby has to find Madame, otherwise if the master and the little master go home, they will be very anxious if they can't find Madame! ”

After spending a long time with a specific group of people, there will always be some inexplicable feelings. Even the silent people in the United States who have been imprisoned and abused are no exception to this, let alone the current Dobby.

"So you almost starved to death?" Maca glanced at Aberforth, but the other party didn't mean to react at all, still looking down at the book.

Dumbledore once joked that he wasn't sure that his brother was literate, which was obviously a joke.

"Dobby can't just take other people's food, Dobby can't be a bad guy—" the elf said with a wrinkled face, "You shouldn't be filling your stomach if you don't work." ”

Maca nodded casually, but her mind had drifted elsewhere. Judging by Dobby's words, Malfoy Manor should be in a state of no one right now. As for where Draco's mother had gone, it was hard to say.

Of course, it doesn't seem to have much to do with him. Even Lucius Malfoy, he just promised Draco to try to get it for him, and it depends on the situation how to do it!

For the elf Dobby, who suddenly appeared, Maca was just curious. He didn't ask anything after that, just watched Hermione and the others talk around the elf.

However, Luna didn't have much interest in this elf, she preferred those more strange and mysterious magical creatures, such as house-elves, but she didn't care so much.

She seemed to pay more attention to the portrait on the wall than to Dobby, and she had been staring at the girl walking by the woods in the painting from the moment she had been staring, and her eyes had not taken off for a moment.

Probably finally noticing Luna's pure gaze, Ariana turned around and walked slowly to Luna towards the frame.

Ariana doesn't talk much, and Luna doesn't talk much. The two looked at each other in different worlds across the canvas, silently looking at each other.

Maca looked at these two girls from different eras and saw some pretty obvious similarities between them. Their eyes are equally ethereal and pure, and they are also very demure under normal circumstances.

"Aberforth, I suddenly have a question," Maka stood behind Aberforth and suddenly whispered, "You say, could your brother have gone to find Ariana?" ”

"Huh?" Aberforth, who had not had a big reaction, finally raised his head again after hearing his cold topic, "What do you think of?" ”

"I don't seem to have mentioned it to you before - your brother actually went to a place," Maca said quietly, "it's very close to 'death', very close......"

"Impossible!" Aberforth pursed his lips, but did not continue.

Maca knew that Aberforth had never forgiven his brother, because he had been blaming him, and the reason was Ariana, the sister who had accidentally died in the chaos.

Perhaps Aberforth knew that Dumbledore was equally guilty about his sister's death, but Aberforth, who loved his sister, would never admit it.

Judging by all of Dumbledore's actions and thoughts, Maca didn't think that the other party would use his sister Ariana as his motivation and goal on his magical journey. But Dumbledore's "selfishness" at the beginning made him have to agree with his sudden guess now.

Will Albus Dumbledore, who has always made it his mission to spread great love, act for selfish reasons? Today's Maca really doesn't dare to deny it easily.

Maca thought for a moment, simply pulled out a chair and sat down at the small table, watching Hermione and Luna's every move, and secretly fell into her own thoughts.

Leisure time always passes a little quickly. Counting the time spent crowding through the streets before, it didn't take long for me to figure out where to fill my stomach that was gradually empty.

During this conversation, Dobby became familiar with everyone, and Hermione even made an appointment with him to come back and walk around the streets with him when she had time.

As for the goal of liberating the house-elves, she really spares no effort!

"Let's go! Go and squeeze three brooms, there will always be a seat. Maca beckoned to everyone, "Think about what you want to eat first, and you can eat what you want to eat as quickly as possible in a while!" ”

"I warn you! Don't mention any other bars here! Aberforth glared at him and said in a gruff voice.

"Come on!" Maca spread her hands, "Who told you that the food here is terrible?" If you want me to say, it's time for you to improve the recipe, or a lot more than that can help—"

"Get out!" Aberforth glared at him again in annoyance.

After lunch and shopping, it's time for Maca to head back to Hogwarts. Professor McGonagall was a very strict and punctual person, and he didn't want to be late if he wasn't careful.

After saying goodbye to Dobby, the group covered their noses and hurried through the utility room in the back, and then made their way to the Three Broomsticks bar on the other side of the village.
