Lucius Malfoy stood dumbfounded, staring at Dobby, the house-elf. His hands were shaking with rage—he suddenly reached into his trouser pocket. Dobby held up its slender fingers......

"If I were you, Lucius."

Mr. Malfoy's movements froze. Dumbledore's soft voice came from behind Hermione and Dobby. "If I were you, I probably wouldn't be going to be rough with the current Headmaster of Hogwarts right under his nose."

"But they have caused me to lose my servant, Albus!"

At this time, his pale face finally had a bloody color, the blood color that was angered. "Your student just teamed up to cheat on me, you can see it!"

"Yes...... I see it. Dumbledore said calmly, "I saw two children making innocuous jokes in my office, trying to make me sweat hot, and then see what color of pajamas I was wearing under the robe I wore when I got up in a hurry to meet guests." In fact I was angry, really. Playing tricks on the headmaster is a very serious act. At the very least, Gryffindor will deduct 10 ......"

The magic was churning, Brandi almost didn't laugh, and the spell came to an abrupt end. He covered his mouth, holding back the twisted muscles on his cheeks that were constantly trying to twitch, and looked at him in surprise and amusement. I set the fire just to see an old man's pajamas?

This reason is ...... I guess I was trying to disgust Mr. Malfoy.

He really didn't know that Dumbledore had such a bad side. But if you think about it, whoever is kicked out of school will be more or less angry.

In fact, Mr. Malfoy was indeed disgusted, his expression was as uncomfortable as eating a fat and juicy fly, and his face was blue and white, and it took him a long time to swallow the breath he was holding back. "Patton, I can dismiss it, but this mud-"

He saw Dumbledore's face change, and he changed his words stupidly. "This mean girl made me give up my domestic servant, and she needs to pay for it."

"I didn't!" Hermione said, "I just didn't reach out to pick it up because I didn't want to. It was you who lifted the coat and handed it to Dobby. If you don't believe me, there are many witnesses in this room! ”

She pointed to the portraits of the principals in the room. "They can all attest to that."

The portraits in the room nodded their heads with smiles like melon-eating crowds on their faces.

"But then I was just because Dumbledore took out the journal, and I didn't pay attention at all—hmm!" He argued, and suddenly thought of the key to it, and he calmed down.

"I get Albus, that's good." He looked at Dumbledore with indignant eyes, and his tone returned to his old unpleasant emphasis. "I remember, this little trick of yours!" As he spoke, he glared at them one last time in anger and disappeared into the doorway without looking back.

"Dobby is free!" The elf screamed with a piercing screech, turned to look at Brandi and Hermione, and a big smile broke into their ugly brown-red faces. "Harry Potter's friends liberate Dobby!"

Well, Harry's friend...... That's really awkward to hear.

"You can't wear Dobby, but this coat should be good for a quilt - now that you're free, where are you going to go?" Looking at Dobby's ridiculous appearance of trying to put his coat on his body, Brandi said in embarrassment. "Although I also want to abduct you to my house to help my mother with housework......"

"Can I?!" Dobby stopped, its eyes widening and a look of ecstasy on its face.

"Obviously not." Hermione replied for Brandy, "His Muggle neighbors would think there's a nest of aliens living next door." You probably can't get a job in any Muggle family......"

At this point, Dumbledore cleared his throat.

"Actually, your name is Dobby? I mean, if you don't mind...... Hogwarts is more than happy to offer you a job, and I've talked to the kitchen several times about asking for more staff. ”

Dobby hesitated for a moment, then said cautiously. "That'...... Can Dobby be a little bit and mention the issue of treatment? ”

"Oh?" Dumbledore looked surprised, he looked at Dobby with interest, who was a little trembling, and then smiled. "Of course, we can talk about this in detail when the matter is over here—then, could you please go to the kitchen to report first?" Just be warned, it's best not to do this in front of your colleagues, they'll be upset. ”

Dobby let out a loud choked sound in his throat, nodded his head, hugged Brandi and Hermione, and disappeared with a thud.

…………

"I have to mention, Miss Granger......" After watching Dobby leave, Dumbledore took a piece of cream mint candy from the drawer and threw it into his mouth, sighing contentedly, "It's really hard to play this kind of comparison without prior communication, and don't test my imagination in the future." Alright, so you guys come over this time-"

Hermione hurriedly gave Brandi a look, and the latter opened his mouth in a heart.

"Professor, we actually want to ask a question......

"Alright, alright... I know... In fact, I expected you to come and ask me, but I didn't expect it to be at this time. Dumbledore seemed to know what they were asking in the morning, and he waved his hand to conjure up two chairs for them to sit down. He yawned and began to brew himself a steaming cup of tea.

"Miss Granger. Unfortunately, this was left to Barton. ”

"Why?" Hermione froze.

Dumbledore picked up his teacup.

"Because of all the people who know the Seven Seals, Mr. Barton is the only one who can pass the detection spell in this exchange unharmed." "After all, it's rare for schools to have exchanges like this, especially since this one was the work of the Caro siblings, who were one of Voldemort's subordinates anyway." In order to ensure the safety of the two schools, the Ministry of Magic will naturally be extra cautious about this event...... As far as I know, in order to make sure that the people on the list are actually compliant, the Ministry of Magic will use detection magic on the officially active list to identify their lies - anyone who doesn't meet the requirements for the school grade, or who tries to use Polyjuice Potion to impersonate someone else to infiltrate the exchange students will be recognized. ”

Wait a minute, polygraph? Do I still have this murderous ability?

Brandi was confused for a moment, and then suddenly it dawned on her.

"Then why is Brandi okay? He's not eligible either. Hermione said.

Dumbledore's tea-drinking movements paused, and his expression became very surprised.

"Didn't Mr. Barton tell you?"

"What did you say?" Hermione turned her head and looked at Brandi curiously.

Brandi looked confused.

Huh? yes, I don't think I've ever told anyone about my soul - Hermione, they don't even know I have a dead soul in my head.

Oh my God! It's no wonder that after Carona said that I like Akihari last time, everyone took it seriously......

Brandi patted his head in annoyance, and pulled Hermione to explain, but at this moment, Dumbledore preemptively spoke.

"Because during the summer of my first year, Barton studied Occlumency with me for a while—it was a secluded, but miraculous spell for this kind of detection magic, I think you'd have seen it in the books, Miss Granger. Although he may not have learned it well enough to fully resist Carlo's regents, it shouldn't be a problem to deal with such a simple age recognition spell. ”

…… Forehead...... Professor? Brandi looked at him in surprise.

When did you learn any Occlumency with him?

Dumbledore gave him a deep look and shook his head at him slightly. For some reason, Brandi seemed to see a faint glimmer of joy in his eyes. He looked ...... Don't really want Hermione to know about it?

Is it because it's too strange even in the wizarding world?

Looking at the frustrated Hermione, Brandi thought to himself for a moment, and finally gave up the idea of explaining it to his friends—he decided to find a chance to learn about the laws of the wizarding world first, and see if he would be sentenced to Azkaban for excessive defense and murder as an infant.

So, under Dumbledore's cover-up, this matter was confused in this way.

………… Until lunchtime, Hermione's mood wasn't too good.

"Okay, okay, it's okay, even if I go, it's not a big deal, just stay there for half a semester." Brandi sat down next to her amusefully and brought her a piece of beef short ribs. "Thank you for your concern."

"Who said I cared about you! Nerds! Hermione blushed suddenly, raised her head and was about to retort, but then she didn't know what she thought, and she fell down in a languid, and the knife and fork in her hand poked the small chops on the plate for a while. Alas, this is a big problem. ”

Just as Brandi was about to ask her what the hell was in trouble, a thick wad of paper with neat sheets drawn on it came from Ron on the other side.

"Pass it over there." Ron said, "The third-year elective schedule, Professor McGonagall said was going to be taken back tonight. ”

Brandi then knew it was time for them to choose a third-grade program. Brandi wasn't particularly interested in this kind of thing, after all, everyone else except for a college bully would probably sign up for the same class, and he could just sit back and wait for Harry Ron or Parvati to figure it out - but for now, it was good news, it had a completely different meaning to Hermione, and she immediately put aside her teenage worries and began to focus on the list of new courses.

"Divination, magic traps, Muggle studies, magical creatures...... Oh, that's true. Hermione muttered as she marked the list. Can't schools give a timetable that covers all the courses? ”

"Oh my God, Hermione, can you learn it?" Brandi looked worriedly at her speeding autograph, and then at her blank form. "You also chose Muggle studies? Are you going to attend a class or a class......"

"It's not a loss anyway." Hermione smuggled and signed the form, "Maybe Muggles would be interesting from a wizard's point of view, and I could use them for fun." ”

Probably can think of lectures as a pastime, and only Hermione can do it.

"I just want to give up Potions class." Harry and Ron also came over, "Now I see Snape and my head hurts - I mean it hurts in every sense of the word. ”

"No way, the previous classes were all compulsory, otherwise I would probably have thrown away all the classes except for charms and shapeshifts. I think we'll be able to choose these courses...... Brandi, come with us? ”

Brandi simply took Ron's class schedule and drew it on top of herself. "Where's the silly girl? This guy didn't choose it by himself. ”

"Surely not—Lavender said she was hurried away by Professor McGonagall as soon as class was out of class today, but I left her a timetable and would give it to her later."

But they waited left and right, but it was not Parvati who was waiting.

Professor McGonagall walked up to them, her expression grim.

"Patil is gone." "Their parents just came over and went through the formalities of taking a leave of absence — she left this for you," she said succinctly. ”

She stretched out her hand, her hair ringed in the palm of her hand, glowing with a lonely silver light.
