"Hi dear Xiaoman! It makes me very happy to see you again. ”

The sudden arrival from behind him made the house-elf Ding Man, who was checking the details of the dishes, almost drop the details in his hand into the broth in front of him.

The elf named Timon looked back angrily, and when he realized that it was Rick, he instantly changed his face and looked at Rick with a smile.

"Ahh It's Professor Graves, and I'm glad to see you, sober, is there anything I can do to you? ”

Watching the house-elf who sent his drunken self back to the lounge change face at the speed of light, Rick almost thought he was in Gringotts again, and the house-elves in front of him were those cunning and greedy goblins.

"I have come today for one thing that I need your help with. Please tell me if there are any new house-elves in the kitchen lately? ”

Rick came to the kitchen, not to ask the house-elves to give him an extra stove.

He was looking for the owner of the remnants of the magic he sensed at the scene of the conflict between Harry and Malfoy. It was a remnant of magic that was different from that of a human wizard who cast a spell.

As a secret Auror, Rick has a strong ability to detect and discern.

At that time, he was helping Ron expel the slugs from his body while analyzing the residual magical aura in the air. He soon figured out that it was a house elf's confusion charm.

At first, he thought it was a deliberate attempt by Snape to expel Harry.

But when he was taught by Professor McGonagall, he successfully deserted. Rick, who was distracted, suddenly recalled some of the plots in Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, where Harry in the second year not only met the basilisk, but also a "cute" house-elf who wanted to get Harry out of school with the same purpose as Snape.

Rick forgets that Dobby exists, not in harmony but in common sense.

After Ilvermorny regained the memories of his past life, he never imagined that one day he would cross half the world to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry to become a Defence Against the Dark Arts professor.

After learning from memory that he was in the wizarding world of J.K. Rowling, his first goal was to pass his final exam......

"Dear Professor Graves, as the head of the kitchen, I keep this place in order...... I have to manage one hundred and eight compatriots every day and ask them to make three meals a day for all teachers and students...... I can name every one of my compatriots ......"

Timon seems to be showing off his merits and abilities, but Rick is not here to listen to this.

"Stop, I'm just asking if you have any new house-elves, note it's this semester. All you have to do is say yes or no! ”

"Dear Professor Graves, the Hogwarts kitchen has been in the kitchen for five years in a row... Forehead! No, there are no new arrivals lately. ”

When Ding Man seemed to want to say something at length like a writer's water word count, a house-elf behind him hurriedly poked his body with his fingers, which made him realize that Rick in front of him was already a little annoyed.

"Yes, I believe your answer. I need your help with something right now, and I don't think you should say no, right? ”

In Rick's impression, Timon is not the kind of house-elf who likes to nag, could it be that he ate the red umbrella umbrella and white pole pole today, but he didn't have a lying board because of his physique?

"I'll be happy to help, my esteemed Professor Graves."

After being reminded by his assistant, Ding Manchai recalled that night, the night when he almost let his grandson have a banquet. In order to live for a few more decades, Timon graciously agreed to Rick's request.

"It's not a difficult thing to do, and in the next week, you can walk around the castle as often as you have time, and if you meet a house-elf who is not Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, help me invite him into my room. If you don't meet it, it's done. Dear Xiaoman, you should be able to help me with this. ”

At the end, Rick looked at Timon with a smile on his face.

"Yes! Be! Be! Dear Professor Graves, I'll help you with this. ”

This frightened Ding Man, and he hurriedly nodded in agreement. He hadn't forgotten the last time he saw this smile, he was forced to tear himself apart.

Ding Man didn't know what kind of sacredness the new Professor Graves was in front of him, and how he could be so cruel to the curse.

"Thank you in advance, Xiaoman! I'll go first. ”

Looking at Ding Man's frightened expression, Rick couldn't help but feel a little funny in his heart, he didn't expect that the previous illusion spell really left a shadow on the house elf's body.

That night, Rick didn't mean to cast a spell on him, but the kitchen master wanted to go to Dumbledore to complain...

"Dear Professor Graves, do you need me to bring lunch to your room?"

"No, your lunch today is tempting and delicious. I decided to go to the cafeteria in a moment..."

Seeing that Rick was leaving, Ding Man's heart hanging in his throat finally fell. But as a house-elf at Hogwarts school, he hadn't forgotten his duty (unlike someone), so he hurriedly asked Rick aloud if he needed to bring lunch to his room before he was out of the kitchen.

Professors generally eat three meals a day in their rooms. Except for special occasions, you will rarely see more than two professors eating in the cafeteria. For example, Professor McGonagall had breakfast in the cafeteria today because she had been to Hogsmeade in the morning.

In a week's time, these house-elves should be able to catch Dobby scurrying around. This house-elf seems to have undergone some changes, and it is so bold! In order to force Harry to leave Hogwarts, he dared to use the Confusion Charm on Malfoy! Using a spell on his own little master, this family is seriously violating the contract. ’

Rick was not at all surprised by the occurrence of such a serious incident that did not conform to the original book. He even had a glimmer of anticipation for what would happen next.

A butterfly flappes its wings a few times, and multiple parallel worlds can appear. And the changes he has brought to the wizarding world in the past few years are not comparable to a butterfly.

As for what to do with Dobby, Rick hasn't made a decision yet. Dobby and Snape both want to protect Harry, their intentions are good, but their methods are a bit extreme.

So grab Dobby first and talk about why he was able to break the contract and use a spell on his little master.

For! For! For!

The footsteps in the stone corridor became more and more frequent. The sounds kept Rick's attention focused on their master.

"Slow down, Augustine the Great!"

"Ahh Professor Graves!! ”
