On a Saturday morning in December.

Everyone gets up lazily and slowly, and then finds that the whole of Hogwarts is starting to drop leaflets.

The leaflet disappeared when it hit the ground, and then fell again from a height of several meters until someone reached out to catch it.

The content of the leaflet is to introduce a house elf, the house elf in the picture is wearing a decent brand new suit, although it looks a little weird, but I have to say that compared to those house elves who are wearing tattered clothes and dirty on their bodies, it is much more high-end and atmospheric.

Dobby, a house-elf, receives a one-hour hire-hire job.

Do you want to prepare a good dinner for your parents? Do you want to set up a romantic environment to confess to your girlfriend? Are you still struggling with how to clean the house?Goblins are flooded again?......

It only takes twenty copper nats to let Dobby do all the household work for you.

High work efficiency, one hour of cleaning can be worth a week's work of a wizard, is the best choice for you to be a delicate wizard.

Book as fast as possible, on a first-come, first-served basis.

Unsurprisingly, this wave of publicity caused a small wave of heated discussions at Hogwarts.

After all, there are only a few families with house-elves, and many wizards have never used house-elves.

While most wizards are incredulous about house-elves charging for a job, it's very, very cheap to think of as twenty copper nats.

A Hogsmeade would have hired Dobby for three hours with just a glass of Butterbeer, which is a price for conscience.

There are quite a few wizards who are tempted, and when the first user appears, the format becomes unstoppable.

It was a first-year student, and she cautiously walked up to Hermione and asked, "Can I have the house-elves come to my house this Christmas and prepare dinner?"

Hermione finally waited for the first person to ask, and she smiled, "Of course, please fill in the address......"

The little girl nervously wrote down the address of her home on a form, and then handed Hermione a silver sico.

"Well, I'm looking for you nine copper nats......"

The little girl waved her hand hurriedly and said, "No need, just take it as a tip, it's not much anyway." ”

I didn't expect it to be a Flori.

Wizards followed.

"There are ghouls in my grandmother's attic, and they can't stop screaming all day long, and my grandma can't help Dobby get rid of them?"

"Can ......"

"Can ......"

"Can ......"

After a busy moment, Hermione handed Dobby a compiled schedule.

"It's a week's schedule, and over the course of the week, it's a few Galleons more than Hogwarts. ”

Dobby was grateful: "Thank you, Miss Granger, I'm so happy to get me so many jobs, those house-elves will definitely be jealous of me." ”

Hermione: "Uh, okay. ”

"I'll help you this first time, and then stick a piece of parchment outside the auditorium, draw a form, and let interested wizards fill in the information by themselves for each day of the week, and then you can do the work yourself. ”

"Okay, thank you, Miss Granger. Dobby bowed vigorously.

......

On Thursday in a transfiguration class.

Professor McGonagall's annoyed voice crackled through the classroom like a whip, "Weasley, Thomas!

The lesson is almost over.

The assignments have been handed in: Professor McGonagall has asked to turn the guinea fowl into guinea pigs, and now the strange creatures barely known as "guinea pigs" are locked up in a large cage on Professor McGonagall's podium.

And the homework on the blackboard, they have also copied in the notebook: try to give an example of how the Transfiguration Charm must be adjusted when transmuting across species.

At any moment when the bell rings at any moment, even if Professor McGonagall seems to be about to say something, some people are absent-minded.

Ron and Dean Harry were wands in hand, praising swordsmanship in the back row of the classroom, undistracted.

When Professor McGonagall called their names, the startled two quickly lowered their wands and sat down.

"That's naïve!" Professor McGonagall glanced at them angrily.

"Everybody heard me clearly, I'm just going to say this once, the Christmas Ball is coming...... This is a traditional part of the Triwizard Tournament and a great opportunity for us to socialize with foreign guests. Yes, the dance is only open to students in Year 4 and above, but you can invite a junior student if you wish. ”

In an instant, all the girls in the class looked at Harry.

The two silly girls, Lavender Brown and Parvati Patil, dared to stare at Harry, and Hermione glared at them, and immediately the two of them remembered the pain Hermione had caused them in divination—Hermione had crushed their godlike Professor Trelawney, and they quickly looked away.

Professor McGonagall continued: "Put on your prepared gowns, the ball will take place in the Great Hall at eight o'clock on Christmas night and end at twelve o'clock at midnight. ”

Professor McGonagall looked at the class and said with great difficulty, "The Santa Ball is undoubtedly an opportunity for us to relax......

Harry smiled, and it was so hard for the stern, stern Professor McGonagall to say something like that.

"But!" Professor McGonagall said sharply, stern and natural, "but that doesn't mean that Hogwarts will relax its requirements for your behavior, we have foreign guests present, and if any of the Gryffindor students disgrace the school in any way, he will definitely be punished......"

"Jingle Bell ......"

The bell rang for the end of class, and everyone was talking about the Christmas dance, while stuffing books into their school bags, and then throwing them over their shoulders, and the classroom was busy.

"Harry, stay for a moment, I have something to tell you. Professor McGonagall shouted.

Professor McGonagall and the rest of the class walked away, saying, "Harry, the students at the prom may or may not have a partner, but the warriors must have a partner. ”

She looked at Hermione, who was sitting quietly on the side, and said, "You must have a goal." ”

"Ah, there is. Harry was going to start working on multiple choice questions again.

"Can a person have more than one partner?" asked Harry.

Professor McGonagall looked at him suspiciously, as if thinking he was joking.

She said coldly: "Of course not, that's your dance partner, of course there can only be one." ”

"Dance partner?" Harry's eyes widened, "You mean you want to dance?" I thought it was just a dance party with a female partner arm in arm, eating cheese pie, eating beef curry, New Orleans okra bisque, English cheesecake, pumpkin porridge, butterbeer......"

Professor McGonagall's face twitched, "You've got it all, but it's about the ball." ”

Harry's face was shy, "Dear Headmaster, can I not participate? ”

"No, if you're not feeling well, go to Madam Pomfrey for some medicine. You have to dance, and traditionally, the ball is performed by the warriors and their partners. ”

Professor McGonagall said, "Don't you know how to dance? Won't you?"

"Hah, how is that possible. Harry laughed.

"That's good, that's it. Professor McGonagall finished and left the classroom.
