"Terry! Fight with me! ”

In the dueling club, Harry, who had been standing in the ring, watched Terry defeat Seamus, and hurried to Terry's front and issued an invitation to the duel.

Terry rushed out of the ring beaming with joy, only to be stopped by Harry and barely stop the car and crash into his arms.

But hearing that Harry wanted to challenge himself, Terry was a little embarrassed, he still had an appointment, and he couldn't waste any more time!

"I'm sorry, Harry. I've played all three games today. I still have something to do, I'll go first! See you in astronomy class! ”

"Uh, okay... Slow down!! ”

Looking at Terry's back as he hurriedly ran, Harry touched his hair in confusion.

This Terry used to make appointments with him often, and even duel with him every day for five days for a while.

I don't know what's going on lately, but every time I don't have a class in the morning, I disappear without a trace......

"Harry! What are you in a daze? Anything interesting? ”

Ron walked up behind Harry, and he put his arm around Harry and looked in the direction Harry's gaze was. Tilting his head from side to side, trying to find the target that caught Harry's attention.

"It's nothing, it's just that I wonder what Terry has been doing lately, and every time I want to duel with him, he refuses."

Harry withdrew his gaze at Ron as he approached, and then voiced his doubts.

When he was watching Terry's duel just now, he found that Terry's moves and defenses were very different from before, and his dueling style had become different. But he also said a specific thing or two, so he wanted to fight Terry and experience it for himself.

"Harry, maybe it's because he thinks you're too strong, after all, you've won eight in a row, and he doesn't dare to duel you. Let's go, George, they've brought a lot of good food from Hogsmeade, let's get over there! ”

Ron was unimpressed by Terry's rejection of Harry's invitation to a duel. He felt that Harry was too strong, and Terry was afraid that he would lose to Harry, so he refused.

He patted Harry on the shoulder, signaling that it was time to join up with George.

Ever since he helped Rick with some odd jobs, he has his own pocket money.

It was an open house in Hogsmeade, and Ron asked George early in the morning to buy him some tasty snacks, such as Duke Honey's Candy Store's latest Beechbee Wonder Fruit and his favorite chocolate monster frog.

You have to collect all the cards this year!

This was Ron's next goal with his new wand.

Harry shook his head, he still had a duel match to go. "I still have a duel left to complete today. You go first! ”

"Well, I'll wait for you, a duel is still very fast." Ron resisted the temptation to tear down the chocolate frog and decided to stay and wait for Harry.

......

In a corner outside Hogwarts Castle, Rick is fed fresh chicken to several cats of different colors.

A delicate voice with a hint of sharpness sounded from behind him.

"Professor Graves! Are you available? ”

Rick didn't look back, he already knew who was coming. "Xiaoman, do you need any help?"

"Professor Graves, they went to collect food in the Forbidden Forest and haven't been back for a day. I'm worried about their safety, so I'd like to ask you to go into the Forbidden Forest and help us bring them back. ”

Xiao Man folded his hands, his long bat-like ears drooped down, and his egg-sized eyes were already full of tears. Yaya is his sister, and she has been working at Hogwarts for a year, and the fungus and mushrooms in the Hogwarts canteen are collected by Yaya every day in the Forbidden Forest.

As a house-elf, Yaya is very young, but her magical attainments have reached the level of an adult wizard.

Even though there are many powerful and dangerous magical creatures in the Forbidden Forest, it is still safe for Yaya to escape.

But this time, Yaya has not come back for a day, which makes Xiaoman, who is an elder brother, feel strongly uneasy in his heart.

Hearing that a house-elf was missing, Rick, who was stroking the back of a black kitten, paused, which caused the kitten to be a little dissatisfied, and rubbed his body against Rick's hand.

"Meow~"

Placing the remaining pieces of chicken in the white cat bowl, Rick placed the clingy black kitten beside his mother, and under its reluctant gaze, stood up and looked back at Xiaoman.

"Hmm... Did you tell Headmaster Dumbledore about this? ”

"No, Professor Graves! Headmaster Dumbledore, he's in Geneva for a meeting today. Now the only wizard in Hogwarts Castle who can help us is Graves to teach you. So...... Please help us! ”

Xiao Man's eyes flickered, and tears were already dripping down the sides of his emaciated cheeks onto the withered grass beneath his feet.

“...... You go back and wait for news. ”

The house elf race is seen by wizards as a magical creature, a servant to be called upon at will, a kind of tradable slave.

Their status was so low that no wizard cared about their life or death, except for the merchants who sold house-elves.

For example, the behavior of house-elves is supervised by the Department of Magical Creatures Management and Control of the Ministry of Magic, which proves that wizards have never treated house-elves as intelligent beings who can be treated fairly.

'People treat us house-elves like pests. ’

One of the most influential dialogues in Rick's past life memories is that of Dobby, the house-elf, as he recounts their plight.

"Professor! Are you promising to help us? ”

Xiao Man didn't understand Rick's words, and he wiped the tears from his face with the worn-out thing that looked like a grandmother's footcloth, and confirmed to Rick.

"Well, I'll help you. Rest assured! She is a very intelligent house-elf, I have seen, and I don't think her life is in danger. ”

"Woo woo woo, thank you so much. Professor Graves! I... I..."

Xiaoman choked up a little and gasped for breath, because he was too emotional.

"Okay, I'll find someone first, he is very familiar with the Forbidden Forest and has his help. I think I'll be able to find Yaya soon! ”

Looking at Xiao Man, who was still crying, Rick shook his head helplessly. Ignoring the weeping house-elf, he headed for Hagrid's hut.

At this point in time, Hagrid shouldn't be drunk, right?!

Rick shook his head quickly, trying to dismiss the thought.

Although the magic of house-elves is very weak in the eyes of wizards, the magic in them is very strong.

Ordinary dark creatures can't control a house-elf who wants to escape, and this time Yaya's disappearance may be a means of the dark wizard.
