House-elves seem to have unique magical magic, such as Dobby, who is able to apparition with a single finger without any chanting movements, and in heavily protected Hogwarts. This is probably difficult for Dumbledore to do without open clearance.

So although Brandi didn't understand what kind of magic it needed to be able to spot enemies without looking back, considering that the elves might really have such abilities, Carve's words still made him nervous.

Brandy squinted his eyes tremblingly, trying not to look down, and with one hand grasping the edge of the flying carpet, he slowly turned, searching the dark night sky behind them—they had now risen more than a mile to a height of nowhere, and there was nothing to see on the ground, except for a few scattered spots of light, perhaps a small village or something, and the vast land was painted in the cold moonlight. Not far overhead, a few clouds floated lazily, slowly and methodically past them, as if they could reach them as soon as they stood up and stretched out their hands.

There was nothing out of the ordinary, and he couldn't hear anything in his ears except the muffled snort of his friends as they sneezed and the cold wind that blew by.

"Where are they?" Brandi struggled to spit out a few words between his teeth, feeling his teeth chatter.

"Kaf, Carf doesn't know!" The elf shook his head in fear, "Kafu just heard his master angry, and he ordered the guards of the clan to come and arrest us. ”

"Huh? Can you hear me? Brandi turned around in surprise and choked on a cold breath as soon as he opened his mouth. Is Mr. Patil talking? It's already miles away from the manor! ”

Hearing Mr. Patil's name, it instinctively wanted to reach out and cover its ears, but the result was that the flying carpet, which had been flying smoothly, suddenly swayed from side to side, and Brandy, who had been trying to restrain his fear of heights, turned blue in the face.

"Master occasionally uses such great magic, Master Brandy." It took a moment for Carf to come to her senses in a panic, grabbing a corner of the flying carpet and rebalancing.

"That magic can directly transmit what the master says to all the servants and guards who have established a magical connection with the master. But it is usually used only in a very urgent situation...... And just now, the master used magic to order his servants to take action and pursue us. He wanted to bring 'Little Miss' back safely at all costs. ”

"Huh, safe?" Ron and Harry were sitting at the back of the flying carpet trying to move their frozen hands and feet, and snorted coldly. "If the silly girl goes back like this, she will definitely be recited the Oblivion Curse. I've never seen a guy as selfish and cold-blooded as Mr. Petyer, who simply has—"

"Please don't...... Please don't speak ill of your master, sir! ”

Kave's voice became a little sharper, but it still looked like it was lacking in confidence and cowering. "The master actually loves the eldest lady very much, and he specially transferred me out of the kitchen to serve the eldest lady for this purpose. This kind of treatment is not even a little lady whose owner has watched grow up. ”

Ron glared, and was about to say something, but Hermione got ahead of him. Hermione had been holding Parvati in her arms, and the Cloak of Invisibility was useless in this kind of flying against the wind, so she had to put it in her backpack early. After hearing Carf's words, Hermione frowned.

"Kaf, you say you're the exclusive elf who takes care of Parvati? I remember the book saying that the exclusive elf will not follow the orders of anyone other than the head of the house and the target. She looked up and down suspiciously, "Then why do you listen to Padma so much?" Even for the sake of her plan, she did not hesitate to disobey Mr. Petyer's orders and help us escape, not to mention, she would even leave the manor to show us the way!? Was it just because Padma died for her sister? ”

This sentence produced an incomparably explosive reaction, and Carf suddenly let out an extremely high-pitched scream, clutching her head in pain, and her thin body trembled violently. The flying carpet lost control and began to sway around like a drunk drunk on fake wine, swooping headlong to the ground.

Everyone screamed in unison.

"Don't be like this! Stop it! Harry roared, his hands gripping the plush of the flying carpet tightly, his whole body reflexively lowering his body, trying to fit the flying carpet like Quidditch training.

But there was no response, and Carve's current state was extremely similar to the extreme panic when she disobeyed her master's orders, she was constantly beating her head, and her whole body was twitching violently. I couldn't calm down for a while.

"Quick, who's going to fly the carpet!" Harry yelled, "Brandy, you've been sitting on this thing with Luna for the summer!" Come here and help! ”

"You'd better not count on me! This situation is too embarrassing for me, vomit~" Brandi closed his eyes angrily, and the smooth flight was bearable, but now the weightlessness like a roller coaster was obviously challenging his endurance, and the scenery in front of him was rotating, and it was visibly magnified with the naked eye. "I'm afraid of heights!"

"But then we're going to fall to our deaths, think of a way!" The village below was getting bigger, and Hermione could already see the low gray buildings, the cobweb-like dense wires, and the flickering streetlights, and she sat in the center of the flying carpet, clutching Parvati's body and screaming, her face not showing a trace of blood in horror. "That's right! Carf is treating you like a master, Brandi! Command it! ”

"What?"

"Hurry, we're going to hit the bell tower!"

The dark walls were getting closer, and they could barely make out the pattern on the bronze bell—Muggles screaming in horror could be heard below.

"Kaf! I order you, give me the flying carpet to be lifted properly!! ”

————

In an instant, there was a sudden upward force, and everyone fell heavily on the flying carpet, and even their heartbeats stopped. The flying carpet came to an abrupt halt as it fell to the ground, brushed past the side of the roof of the bell tower in extreme thrills, and rose up again little by little.

The people who escaped death breathed a long sigh of relief, and in just over a minute, everyone's underwear was soaked with cold sweat.

"What a hell of a life!" Confirming that he was still alive, Ron exasperated and shouted, "What the hell is wrong with it!" We almost crashed into a couple of pies! ”

"You can't blame Carf, Ron." Hermione clutched her chest, panting violently. "It just couldn't control its actions, and if it weren't for Brandy's orders to it, we'd really be dead!"

"But why is it Brandi......" Harry leaned limply on the blanket, turning his head to look at Brandi, who had been lying half-dead on the edge of the flying carpet and vomiting. How could he order the elves of the Petyr family, who didn't even know Kaf a few hours ago! ”

"I think it's better to ask the person directly." After a while, Brandi finally emptied all the inventory in his stomach, shook his head, took a deep breath, and got up, looking at the elf who was bound by his own orders and instinctively controlling the flying carpet, whose head was covered in blood from his fingernails.

"Carf, calm down and answer me, what the hell is going on?"

…………

Carf's cheeks shook violently, and large tears slid down her face. "Kaf, Carf is a very good house-elf, so... So...... Carve wants to listen to the eldest lady and the younger lady. ”

"What?" Brandi was stunned for a moment, then he turned his head to look at Parvati in Hermione's arms. "Parvati and Padma? The two of them told you to do my bidding? ”

"Yes, Master Brandy." Carve sobbed, trembling. "Yesterday afternoon, the eldest lady found Kafu before the duel, and asked her to swear to abide by what she was going to say next—the eldest lady wanted me to be obedient, and not to look for her or cry after she left... If a gentleman named Brandy comes to the manor one day looking for the eldest lady, I should listen to him later, give him the eldest lady's letter, and go with him. As she spoke, Carf cried even more sadly.

Everyone stared at Carf in shock, and Brandi opened his mouth wide as he felt his throat clog. Parvati didn't know that he and Padma had such a rescue plan, and she thought that Brandi didn't know anything about her......

"Well, what about the letter that Parvati wants you to give me?" Holding back the emotions that were tumbling inside him, he stretched out his hand to Kaf.

But Kraft's ears fluttered, and she shook her head desperately.

"The letter was burned by the young lady."

"Huh?"

Carve gave a long sniff and looked at Brandy's face in dismay. "At that time, the duel had not yet begun, and as soon as the eldest lady left, the younger lady came—she said that she had a way to keep the eldest lady from leaving, but as a price, I must obey her orders unconditionally during this time."

"Kaf, Carf doesn't want the eldest lady to leave." Cafu said pitifully, with tears in her voice. So Carve told the eldest lady what she had said, and gave her the letter to Brandy's master—and the little lady burned it with just one glance, and I didn't have time to stop it. She also said, 'Only an incorrigibly stupid sister would make such a boring decision, and I went to great lengths to trick Brandi into ...... for us.'"

At this, Carf stopped, and cautiously glanced up at Brandy's eyes, but to its bewilderment, the gentleman in front of him, who was supposed to have been deceived, actually had a helpless smile in his eyes.

"Master Brandi?" It said apprehensively.

Brandi curled the corners of his mouth and exchanged a look with his companions. Such ruthless use and criticism is really in line with Padma's perennial personality. But she probably didn't expect it herself, not only did she not need any coercion and temptation at all, but Brandi was not the only friend who was willing to spend money for their sisters......

"It's okay, Carve, you go on." Brandi said. "We already know about Parvati knocking out Pavati and swapping identities later, but what exactly does she want to do. I don't think she went to the trouble of making this plan, just to trade her sister's life for one-"

At this moment, Harry interrupted Brandi's question with a solemn expression, and he just pointed his hand back without saying a word.

Seventeen or eighteen heavily cloaked figures appeared dozens of feet behind them on broomsticks, wands like a row of swords glowing with cold light, pointing at the people on the flying carpet.

At some point, they caught up.
