Chapter 269: Substitute Teacher (Part II)

Luke recognized it as an elf at a glance. And judging from the tattered pillowcase worn by the other party, this should be the Dobby who has a lot of ink in the original book.

A free pokemon. Of course, it's not free yet.

"Do you have anything to do with me?"

Luke generously stepped forward to ask Dobby's meaning, if the other party's target was not himself, then he would choose to leave the moment he appeared, instead of hiding his head and waiting for Luke to come forward.

Dobby saw Luke come forward, looked at the young man with a serious expression every time his master mentioned it, swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and said respectfully: "Dobby heard about the situation here!" Dobby would like to thank Master Gaunt for saving Harry Potter! ”

As he spoke, he gave Luke a deep bow.

In terms of tone and behavior. Dobby's thanks are genuine. But in terms of position and qualifications, it seems that there is no need for him to do so. Thank Luke for Harry...... It's a little hard to tell who you are.

But...... Given that it was a very peculiar elf, Luke wouldn't bother with any of them.

"There's no need to be thankful, Harry is my friend. It was only natural for me to protect him. ”

Luke doesn't accept Dobby's thanks. He knew best in his heart that although he had good intentions towards Harry, it was also true that he had used Harry as bait. He didn't expect Dumbledore to understand or thank anyone. Even to Harry himself, his attitude was the same.

He didn't save Harry, he just let Harry complete a dangerous mission without knowing it. He did not think that such an act was to be thanked. Of course, whether others are grateful or not is not something he can control.

For example, after he finished speaking, Dobby's face still had a grateful look. Luke's perception of Dobby is mediocre, although elves are generally a bit neurotic. But Dobby was going too far to 'help' Harry out of danger.

Luke thinks such a guy ...... It's good to stay away.

At this point, Luke suddenly felt a little awkward.

"How did you know Harry was out of danger?"

Luke had an answer in his mind, but he still wanted to confirm it from Dobby, so that there was no other information that he hadn't obtained. After all, you can't take it for granted.

"Dobby went to see Harry Potter before. Harry Potter says the matter has been settled, and it was Master Gaunt who helped solve it! ”

When Dobby faced Luke, he felt that his aura was somewhat similar to that of Lucius Malfoy, and he didn't dare to relax as much as he did in front of Harry. Therefore, when he answered, his attitude was polite and polite, although he was a little timid, but after all, he was not speechless.

Luke didn't have any other expressions, this answer was the first answer he expected, and it was also the most likely answer, and there was no unexpected plot unfolding.

He wasn't very interested in the information Dobby could provide. After all, he knew long ago why Dobby knew about Harry's disaster.

Lucius wanted to get rid of the Horcrux pot. After all, Arthur Weiss came to chase too closely. If this thing is really found, then the Malfoy family will have to shed its skin if it doesn't die. Although it is said that the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, if Lucius is shedding a layer of skin, then he really has to be prepared for a serious injury.

In addition, if you are ready to bet on Luke, then you have to quickly throw this hot potato out. Others don't know if he doesn't know that the last two bloodlines of the Gaunt family died directly or indirectly at the hands of Voldemort. There is only one Luke in the current Gaunt family. It was almost inevitable that Luke would take revenge.

Moreover, Luke was not yet at this point to ask Lucius to hand over such a big handle himself.

The mutual trust between the two sides has only just begun, and there is still a long way to go before comprehensive cooperation.

"Are you okay? If you don't have one, you can go first. ”

Luke is cold about Dobby, who can't provide information. He didn't expect to rebel against Dobby and let him provide him with information about the Malfoy family.

It's just a joke. The biggest characteristic of elves is loyalty. Even Dobby, a little elf who is a hundred pounds up and down and ninety-nine pounds is an anti-bone elf.

They are either limited by years of domestication, or limited by the contract they were forced to sign when they were defeated, in short, it takes so much time and effort to rebel against such things that there is no need to try at all.

In order to avoid Dobby's headbutt-grabbing in front of him, he chose not to ask about the Malfoy family, so as not to embarrass Dobby.

But Dobby didn't follow his original idea and just left. Instead, he stood here with a twisted face, looking embarrassed to say something.

"If you have any questions, just tell me quickly."

Luke didn't bother to wait for Dobby to say what he wanted.

"Yes...... That's right, Dobby hopes...... Hopefully, it will be important for Dobby to be able to leave the Malfoy family and find a job of his own, and Harry Potter says that Dobby will come to Master Gaunt for help, and that you might help Dobby. ”

Dobby's first half of the sentence looked very tangled. And after making up his mind, he spoke very quickly, without any pause, as if he didn't have the courage to finish this passage as soon as he stopped. And in fact, it is.

After saying this, Dobby turned his body to the pillar behind him, closed his eyes, looked annoyed, and began to bang against the pillar with self-reproach.

"Bad Dobby! Bad Dobby! Bad Dobby! ”

However, before he could hit him a few times, Luke waved his wand and fixed him in place, saving him from continuing to hurt himself.

And then......

Then Luke started to have a headache.

It's not that he doesn't want to help. It's really hard to help.

Although he didn't like to raise such a slave-like elf. The original elves of his own family were also buried by him in the woods where the Gaunt hut was located. But he couldn't do much for these struggling elves on his own initiative.

It's like Ron treats elves the same way he thinks they love work and hate being lazy. Whether it's a wizard or an elf, a large part of their ideas are fixed. It doesn't even make sense that only a few elves like Dobby are starting to awaken.

Because now Dobby can't even find fellow travelers among his own compatriots. Almost all of the elves treat him as an outlier.

And all that aside...... Wouldn't he seem stupid when he went to trouble Lucius for something like Dobby's elf?

The importance of elves to a family cannot be overstated. In other countries, wizard nobles generally leave things to their wizard servants. And their most trusted assistant is also the elf around them. Although their elves are also considered slaves, they are often treated well and are real henchmen.

What elves can grasp is often the most core secret of a family. Because few families will rest assured that their elves are not at ease. There may have been before, but now there are really not many such families. After all, after so many years, elves have indeed become a recognized creature with no special ability to resist and extremely loyal to their masters. It is regarded by many families as the most suitable tool for transmitting private information.

Of course, there is also a family that is not very wealthy, or whose manpower is too scarce, and will use them as servants. But the role of the elf is definitely more than just a servant.

As far as Luke knew, there was a good chance that Dobby wouldn't really know much about the Malfoy family. Because the Malfoys are the few elves who can't trust their own family.

This time, though, Lucius's distrust was correct. Because Dobby really isn't a trustworthy helper. In comparison, even the elves of the Crouch family and the elves of the Blake family are a different kind of elves.

"I can't help you, Dobby."

Luke calmly gave Dobby a response that would make him feel very disappointed.

Dobby's big eyes rippled with water, and his ears drooped weakly. It looks quite pitiful. But Luke didn't relent, and he wasn't suitable for mixing in this kind of thing.

"I'm not going to tell Malfoy about you, but if you're bent on leaving, then ask Harry for help. He might be able to give you some ideas. ”

Luke said in a calm tone, "If you have your wish, I don't mind giving you a job." But detachment...... I can't help you with that. ”

The Malfoys were already inclined to turn against him, and there was no need for him to clash with Lucius over an elf at this time. Although if he proposed, then Lucius might not have lost face, but there was no need to use face for this kind of thing.

If Harry can help Dobby find a way out, then he can help arrange work. But if he can't find it, then he can't help it. After all, the position of the Malfoy family is similar to his. Instead of in the original book, Lucius and Harry were hostile to each other.

Of course, a more important point...... After all, in the current notion of the wizarding world, elves are the private property of a wizarding family. They chose to release it. If you force it, it really doesn't make sense.

Even, as a member of the aristocracy, Luke's ability to choose not to report it when facing such a rebellious elf is already the greatest kindness.

Dobby was helpless in the face of such a situation. He could only nod his head, snap his fingers in frustration, and then disappear in place.

Luke looked at his departing figure, shook his head silently, and then silently made a note in his mind for Harry. Net to find him some unreasonable trouble.

He then continued in the direction of Professor McGonagall's office.

As a result, when he walked to Professor McGonagall's office, he happened to see Professor McGonagall opening the door to his office.

"Professor!"

He greeted Professor McGonagall from a distance, a big smile on his face.

When Professor McGonagall saw Luke, she was relieved at first, and then her expression became a little strange.

"You come in first."

With that, he opened the office door and walked in first.

Luke could tell that Professor McGonagall's expression and mood were slightly amiss, but he couldn't tell what was wrong, so he scratched his head. I didn't mention vigilance or anything, just a little confused.

Closing the office door and looking at Professor McGonagall, who was staring at him in his chair, Luke asked a little strangely, "Is there anything on my face?" ”

Of course, this was just a joke, and he knew it wouldn't be that way. So he also began to analyze this matter.

First of all, if Professor McGonagall had come from there, it was obviously impossible for her to come back from class. And it's not time for class to end now...... The principal's office?

Yes, Headmaster's Office, Dumbledore must have been in trouble for me. But what's the trouble? Makes Professor McGonagall look like that. You can't just throw me to France or the United States as an exchange student, right?

This idea is indeed quite plausible when you think about it. After all, instead of putting Luke by his side, give yourself a headache. It's better to communicate and give other people a headache. This is completely understandable.

And although Luke can do things, he can often solve them by himself. Others are just a little tired.

Of course, Luke never imagined that he would hear an even more outrageous way to deal with himself today.

Professor McGonagall pursed her lips, curled the complicated look on her face, and asked in a formal and serious manner, "Are you already planning to clean up Lockhart?" ”

Luke nodded: "We'll get it done as soon as possible, after all, let him find out that something is wrong, and if he runs, he will lose a lot." ”

There is no loss in terms of costs, but a significant loss in terms of benefits.

Luke continued to look at Professor McGonagall, and he didn't believe that Dumbledore could do anything to break his defense.

Professor McGonagall took a deep breath, then stared at Luke and said, "You know, the Defence Against the Dark Arts class at Hogwarts has always been short of teachers. It has to be changed every year. This year, I finally found Lockhart. ”

Luke's heart tightened, he wouldn't let him find someone to be the professor of Defence Against the Dark Arts...... It's not that it's impossible, but it's really not possible to find someone from the United States to transfer people, and there is always no major problem.

But......

"Dumbledore said, you should be the professor of the Defence Against the Dark Arts class for the rest of this time."

"Give you a salary and all the benefits you deserve."

Luke:...... Be a Professor????
