Chapter 333: Flickering Dobby
In the village of St. Cachpol, an old-fashioned dark green car staggers to the door of the Burrow.
The door opens, and Kyle and a few of the Weasleys step down.
"When you get home, children, be careful not to leave your luggage in the car."
Mr. Weasley shouted from the driver's seat, but he didn't mean to get out of the car.
The old Ford he had been driving to Hogwarts by Ron had disappeared into the Forbidden Forest and had been borrowed from the Ministry of Magic for a while, and he would have to return it later.
Every time he thought about it, Mr. Weasley felt a pang of distress, but it took a lot of thought for him to transform the ordinary Ford car into what it had been.
Not only does it have a standard traceless expansion spell, but it can also fly, be invisible, and automatically identify directions...... As a result, now it is gone.
"Why don't you find an excuse to beat Ron up?" On the way back to the Ministry of Magic, Mr. Weasley thought silently.
"He's got a good palmare......
……
On the other side, as soon as the group got out of the car, Mrs. Weasley rushed out of the house.
"Thank goodness you're finally on vacation!"
With the kettle on her waist and a large brand new brush in her hand, she headed straight for Kyle.
"Kyle, you ......"
At this moment, Ron suddenly looked in surprise at the house-elf following behind her.
"Oh, you must be Doba...... Oh no, it seems to be Dobby! ”
"Yes, Mr. Weasley." Dobby said respectfully.
"It's called me sir!" Ron looked a little excited.
"If you like...... Fred laughed, "we can call you that, too." ”
"Dear Mr. Ron Weasley, may you carry your luggage back to your room now?" George chuckled.
Ron's face flushed.
But just as he was about to pick up his luggage, Dobby had already stacked the boxes together and carried them back to the Burrow.
"It's so convenient." Ginny sighed.
"yes......"
Ron also forgot about Fred and George's previous ridicule, and began to look forward to the life of the future clothes to reach out and eat.
"Convenient? I don't think so. ”
Where they hadn't noticed, Mrs. Weasley muttered quietly.
She pulled Kyle aside and made sure Dobby wasn't nearby before asking, "Honey, it's too much, but can you really send Dobby away?" ”
"Of course, Mrs. Weasley." Kyle nodded, "But it's too late today, tomorrow, I'll take it away." ”
"That's good, that's good." Mrs. Weasley breathed a sigh of relief, "If you can, try not to hurt it, Dobby is really a good kid, but ......"
She suddenly sighed, "Arthur's appetite has been getting smaller and smaller lately, and I know that he wants to eat the food I cooked. ”
"I've tried talking to Dobby, too, but every time it's honestly scared, thinking it's not good enough, and banging its head on the table."
"I understand, Mrs. Weasley......" Kyle nodded, "leave it to me." ”
As the two spoke, the others had already entered the Burrow.
Dobby prepared a large table of cookies and desserts in advance, saying that he wanted everyone to cushion their stomachs before dinner.
But the table full of biscuits is more than enough to eat even for a meal.
If this continues, the cost of food for the Weasleys will obviously go up a lot......
Kyle finds Dobby busy in the kitchen, preparing ingredients for dinner, as well as desserts like pudding.
"Sir!"
After meeting Kyle, Dobby immediately stopped what he was doing, "Thank you for helping Dobby find a new job, Dobby loves it here." ”
"If you like it, it's fine." Kyle said, "I have something I want to tell you, can I invite you to my house?" ”
"Invite...... You just said, invite! ”
Dobby clutched his big ears excitedly, and his whole face turned brownish-red, "Dobby is willing." ”
Kyle then takes Dobby back to his house.
"Good news."
Looking at Dobby, who was eager to try and couldn't help but wipe the floor, Kyle hurriedly said, "You've passed the probationary period." ”
"Trial...... Time limit? ”
Dobby was a little dazed, clearly not understanding what this meant.
"To put it simply, that one isn't where you really work."
Kyle gives the reason he'd thought of a long time ago, and says the rest of the word just in time before Dobby tries to hit his head on the floor.
"You need to go to another home for work, but the owners there are picky, and only the best house-elves get their approval."
What keyword seems to have been triggered......
"Dobby can ...... Dobby is the best house-elf! ”
Thankfully, the floor escaped.
"Of course, Mrs. Weasley has told me." Kyle nodded and continued, "You passed her test and are qualified to go there to work. ”
……
After Kyle's fooling, Dobby quickly believes his words.
But it insisted that he wouldn't leave the Weasley house until he had cooked dinner for the day, or he would rather not be the "best house-elf".
Kyle had no reason to refuse, they wouldn't be leaving tomorrow anyway, not just tonight.
Mrs. Weasley readily agreed.
After dealing with Dobby, Mr. Weasley just returned, with Chris and Diana.
The meeting after a year is not as warm as expected......
As soon as Diana saw Kyle, she immediately straightened her face and began to reproach him for not touching the time, and said that she should write home as soon as she found out that she was back in the past.
"Even if I don't get the letter, you can tell your father...... He always finds my ......"
Diana squinted, "If it weren't for Dumbledore, I wouldn't even know you had such a wonderful time at school......"
"Are all the teachers in the school dead, and you need to solve that secret room ......?"
Chris lowered his head as if he hadn't heard anything, and in order to avoid being harmed by the pond fish, he quietly slipped out the door and ran to the Burrow to hide.
The lecture lasted for more than half an hour, and it was not until Kyle repeatedly assured him that Salazar Slytherin had promised to help him smooth out the effects of that time travel.
As a Slytherin graduate, Diana had an inexplicable admiration and trust for the founder.
Like those admirers of Lockhart at the beginning of the school year, he believed everything he said.
……
I finally waited until the evening.
At the invitation of Mr. Weasley, the Kyle family sets off for the Burrow.
Dobby used up all the ingredients and turned them all into hearty treats.
Mr. Weasley had to improvise a larger dining table to reluctantly put the plates down.
The dinner lasted nearly two hours before it ended, and Ron clutched his stomach and slumped in his chair.
The meal was almost the same as a banquet at school.
Enjoy the treatment of a banquet at home...... This was something he had never thought of before, and no wonder so many people wanted a house-elf.
"That's nice......" Ron thought.
Fred and George were also happy that with the house-elves, Mrs. Weasley would no longer have to go into their room to clean and find the things they had hidden under the bed.
And Percy ...... House-elves are notoriously quiet when doing housework and don't disturb him.
