He said he wanted to help me. Harry had a skeptical look on his face.

"But he almost killed me, lost my Golden Snitch, made me almost expelled for violating school rules on the first day of school, and intercepted the letters you sent me during the summer vacation. I don't even understand whether he understands the meaning of the word help. ”

"We should tell the professors about it." Hermione was the first to give her advice.

"I agree. Who knows what kind of dangerous move he will make next time. Ron also seconded with some fear.

"Wait." Before Magos could speak, Harry interrupted Hermione's offer, "Actually, he said something else, about Kang. ”

"Kang?" Hermione and Ron asked, surprised. McGoss's heart moved, and he showed a surprised expression.

"Yes, Kang," said Harry, looking at the curtain again to make sure no one had pulled them into a corner, "Dobby said he had seen Headmaster Dumbledore and the professors secretly greet an elderly wizard in the morning. ”

"Secret greeting?"

"Yes, Dobby said that Professor Snape and Professor McGonagall dispersed the students and faculty around them. No one other than them and Dobby knew that there was now an extra wizard in the school. ”

"Maybe it's something else, we all know that Headmaster Dumbledore is powerful and busy." Hermione said hesitantly.

"I don't know what Dobby was thinking at the time, but he followed the headmaster into the headmaster's room and heard them say..."

"Dobby is so strong? He followed the president and the professors like this without being discovered? McGoth couldn't help but question.

Harry was silent and stunned, he looked at Magos a little blankly, and he didn't know how to answer, when he first heard Dobby say this, he didn't think about whether Dobby had the ability to eavesdrop, and he was completely attracted by his words. Now that he was asked by McGoss, he suddenly realized that according to the series of things Dobby had done before, it seemed normal to say that this was a lie to him. After all, wasn't his purpose to get him out of Hogwarts?

Hermione and Ron thought of this, and their already somewhat nervous emotions became complicated.

"Dobby never lied, especially to Harry Potter." A shrill voice with a slight anger rang out from not far from them. McGoth and the others were startled and quickly turned to look over.

I saw a crumpled humanoid creature that was no more than half of them looking at them with an angry expression. McGoth was stunned for a moment, and then it instantly occurred to him that this should be Dobby, he looked similar to the pictures of house-elves he had seen before, with a pair of prominent green eyes that felt like two tennis balls in the eye frame, and looked a little crazy, as well as two large bat-like ears, a pencil-like slender nose, and very slender limbs.

"House-elves?" Ron looked at Dobby who suddenly appeared a little strangely.

"Dobby?" Harry called. "You've always been here?"

"Yes, Mr. Potter, Dobby has been protecting him." Hearing Harry's voice, Dobby instantly changed from anger to seriousness.

"Do you want to protect him with a Bludger?" Hermione asked unceremoniously, pointing her wand at Dobby.

"No, no, Dobby doesn't want that, and Dobby doesn't want Harry Potter to be harmed." As soon as Dobby heard Hermione's words, he suddenly screamed uncontrollably as he walked to the side of the bed and pounded his head on the foot of the bed.

"Knock Knock Knock ......"

"Bad Dobby, Dobby, Dobby doesn't want to do this, Dobby can't hurt Harry Potter."

"Dobby stop, Dobby stop." Harry walked over briskly and grabbed his thin arm.

Hermione, a little frightened by Dobby's actions, slowly lowered her wand, and watched him self-harm, a little overwhelmed.

"This is the case with house-elves, who serve noble wizards faithfully and are punished for any transgression or thought." Ron had some strange explanations.

"It's just that he's a Hogwarts elf, they rarely appear in front of people, and they think it's an offense to us."

Hermione opened her mouth in surprise at Ron's words, "Why do they think so?" ”

"Who knows, it's always been like this anyway, everyone is used to it, and so are they." Ron said it was normal operation.

This abnormal view is a bit too radical for a little girl who lives in a peaceful world where everyone is equal and human rights are spoken.

"It's ridiculous." Hermione looked at Ron with the look of a primitive, "Why is this still happening?" ”

Ron was stunned by what she said, is it ridiculous? Isn't this a normal thing? House-elves serve wizards and do housework, it's always been like this, right?

Hermione didn't care what Ron was thinking, the way she looked at Dobby now revealed immense sympathy and pity. I just thought it was the enemy who didn't pay attention, but now I found out what Dobby was wearing? Is this the clothes? This is obviously an old pillowcase that even a homeless man won't look at twice, dirty and torn, and he actually uses this as clothing? And through the breach, you can still see the obvious scars on his body.

"What do you see he wearing? There are so many visible scars, it's abuse. Doesn't the Ministry of Magic care? ”

"The Ministry of Magic also has a lot of elves, and they don't think there's anything wrong with it." Ron's natural attitude angered Hermione, and she angrily picked up the book in her hand and smashed it over.

"Thank you, thank you, Ms. Granger." Dobby was moved.

"But please don't feel sorry for me, Mr. Weasley, he's right, we house-elves have always been treated like pests, and we don't feel bad about that."

"What about you, don't feel bad, why do you thank me."

"I... Bad Dobi, Bad Dobi. Dobby paused, broke free of Harry's hand, and continued to bang his head on the corner of the bed.

Although McGoth is also sympathetic to the plight of the house-elf, he knows that except for the Dobby in front of him, who yearns for freedom, everything else can be described as angry and unhappy. They have been completely trained to allow their masters to treat them like domestic animals.

"We'll talk about the house-elves later, now is not the time to discuss this, since Dobby has appeared, it means that he shouldn't have deceived Harry, is Headmaster Dumbledore really the wizard he hired for Kang?"

Hermione opened her mouth to speak, but she also knew that Kang's news was important, and glared at Ron and stopped talking.

"Dobby," McGoth whispered, "if you really want to help Harry, you should stop the punishment now. ”

Dobby slowly stopped knocking on his head, and when he looked back to see Harry nodding his head, he stopped completely.

"I'm sorry we misunderstood you."

"Apologize?" Dobby's big dim eyes suddenly lit up, "Does Mr. Weasley think so too?" He looked cautiously at the end of Ron.

Ron was stared at by four pairs of sudden eyes, especially with a strong sense of warning.

"Uh, yes. We're sorry. Ron said insincerely.

Dobby jumped up excitedly, "Dobby, Dobby is so happy to get an apology from the Weasleys, and Mr. Potter, you guys are so good to Dobby." Whining. In the end, I couldn't help but cover my big eyes with my dirty hands, and tears flowed from my fingers.
