Chapter 125: Humility in the Dark

"This is a house elf?" exclaimed, Hermione. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

The ugly, dirty, mouse-like creatures in front of her had apparently broken the girl's perception, and Hermione didn't pay much attention to Dobby, their attention was focused on magic.

However, when a group of little things that are similar to Dobby's clothes look at you with confused eyes.

That kind of spiritual shock is really unavoidable.

Ugliness, this is the most basic characteristic of house-elves, and you can't imagine what these little things have gone through.

The thick smoke stained the walls black, and their bodies were about to turn the same color as the smoke.

Among the countless pairs of eyes, there is not a trace of brilliance, because they can't see sunlight all year round, which makes their eyes a little degenerate, and cloudy and yellow.

Because of the bright light, every house-elf who opened their eyes and looked at the door was half-narrowed, and it took them a little more time to get used to the sudden light.

"They're so pathetic...... Hermione couldn't bear to look at the little things in front of her, closed her eyes, and grabbed Vanlin's hand with one hand.

"Let's ask!" Van Lin gently pinched Hermione, signaling for the girl to reassure her, then nodded at Harry.

"Excuse me......" Before Fan Lin could finish his words, he was interrupted by the behavior of the group of house-elves in front of him.

It seemed that they had adapted to the light, or perhaps they had heard the words of the wizard, but their dull nerves had finally given them instructions on how a house-elf should behave.

"Wait a minute, ladies and gentlemen, the meal will be ready soon!" an old house-elf bowed deeply to the four of them.

The other elves also seemed to react, and they all stopped what they were doing, bowed to the four of them separately and ignored them.

The lights were lit and the torches on the wall lit up.

Only then did the four of them get a complete picture of the interior of the kitchen, a rectangular wooden table with two dim candles lit on it.

An elf who had just gotten up from the ground didn't know that he had gotten a clean rag from there, and was now vigorously wiping the tables and chairs that hadn't been touched for a long time.

Van Lin also saw a particularly old elf who was lighting a fire and set his clothes on fire.

Normally they can't go wrong, but perhaps today's unexpected visitor broke the silence of the elves' lives, and it had been a long time since they had served a wizard with their own hands.

Fan Lin hurriedly used his magic power to condense a water ball and extinguish the flames on the elf's body!

But the little elf knelt in front of Van Lin in fear, as if he thought that because of his mistake, the four wizards in front of him were going to kill them.

He knelt on the ground and kept begging Van Lin not to kill him, no matter how good Fan Lin tried to persuade him, the old house elf did not stop his pleading.

"Please, you didn't do anything wrong......"

"Don't kill me...... I beg you...... Old Gis will not make mistakes, but I beg you to ......" said the little elf, and bean-sized tears flowed from his dim eyes, looking pitiful.

"Old Thor, stand up for me. Harry's face suddenly turned hideous, and he said viciously to Gais, "If you don't go to work like this, I'll kill you!"

The three of them looked at Harry in shock, they couldn't figure out what had driven Harry to say such a thing.

"Yes, sir!" the elf Gaith seemed to be frightened, and got up from the ground in a panic, as if they were afraid of death, but they were just afraid that they had done something wrong, and as for death or something, it might just be a reason to plead.

"Don't look at me like that......" Harry panicked, "I just want him to stop doing this, at least it's useful, isn't it?"

"Hey, bro, how did you come up with that. Ron suddenly realized, "Maybe we can do this to Dobby." ”

"Actually," said Harry, somewhat helplessly, "I've already done it, but alas, Dobby is an outlier. ”

Harbby gestured back and forth with his hands, as if Dobby was right in front of him, "He was there, and I threatened him with death, but Dobby told me he was going to be threatened like that at least five times a day." ”

"Maybe we should find a way to get Dobby out of the Malfoy family, who doesn't take Dobby's service at all, and maybe I can introduce Dobby to old Vitol, where at least he can live comfortably and have new clothes to wear. ”

"That's a good suggestion, Van Lin!" said Hermione, quietly pulling her hand out of Van Lin's, which made the girl's face redden.

"There is also a very important question of how we can free an enslaved house-elf, and the lives of these house-elves in front of us must be improved. Hermione said righteously, she didn't understand why there was such a thing as enslaving house-elves when there was magic in the wizarding world, everything was so convenient.

"Forget it, Hermione!" Ron said nonchalantly, "it's impossible, no wizard cares about these house-elves, and if you do, they're going to think they're doing something wrong and punish themselves." ”

"How could it be. Hermione couldn't believe Ron's words.

"Can you give it a try?" Ron spread his hands, motioning for Hermione to do it.

"Just try!" Hermione said stubbornly, putting one hand to her mouth as she cleared her throat vigorously as she looked at the busy house-elf in front of her.

"You ...... Listen to me," Hermione said, a little reluctantly.

Hearing Hermione's words, all the house-elves stopped what they were doing and looked at Hermione blankly. They didn't understand what these sudden wizards were thinking.

"Listen...... Stop your work and come to me, I'm going to give you a good cleaning. And......" Hermione really didn't know what house-elves needed, "you should protest to Dumbledore and ask him to allow you to get out of here and go out for more walks, during the day, not at night!

Hermione was finally finished, satisfied with what she had just said, though she didn't know what she was saying, and she wasn't good at speaking.

After a while, the nervous elf finally understood what Hermione meant.

Hermione's words were like a giant tear gas canister that exploded in the cold and gloomy Hogwarts kitchen.

All the elves knelt in their nearest positions, and they cried and begged Hermione to let them go.
