Chapter 50: I Can Be Confined Again! ヽ(▽)ノ
Under the house elf's superb magic, Fish's dormitory quickly returned to its original state.
Ron and others looked at each other, then shrugged at each other, and put away the wands that were of no use.
They still knew Komi, the house elf. He often brought Fish back from his night wanderings in the middle of the night. The harsh sound produced when he Apparated woke up Harry and the others more than once or twice.
"If you need anything, call Comey's name! I will hear you!"
After finishing tidying up the room, Comey bowed deeply to Harry Potter and others and said in a sharp voice, before he started to disapparate and left the dormitory.
"Awesome! I've always wanted a house elf!"
Ron waved his arms excitedly. As the only purebloods in the dormitory, he and Neville would have a deeper understanding of house elves.
And unlike the Longbottom family, the Weasley family doesn't even have a house elf.
In fact, Ron was quite puzzled at first. Although his family was poor, they could still afford to raise house elves. After all, these little guys had very low needs for themselves and did not consume much resources at all.
But whenever Ron asked this question, their parents always changed the subject and talked about him.
Later, he learned the reason from his brothers.
Although house elves do not need to be paid a salary and have very low requirements for food and accommodation, the actual stock is very limited, and they are basically controlled by those ancient pure-blood families.
Hogwarts will have so many house elves, mainly the legacies left by the Big Four, previous principals and even professors. There are also a few elves who are homeless for various reasons and were given to them by Hogwarts. Take in.
Although Arthur and Molly both came from ancient pure-blood families, they eloped from their families and did not inherit house elves from their families.
Although Komi doesn't really belong to him now, Ron is already very happy to be able to occasionally use the house elves in school.
"If mother knew about it, she would definitely envy me!" Ron grinned almost to his ears. "She has always hoped to have a house elf to help us iron our clothes."
However, Ron's joy did not resonate with others.
Longbottom, who also belongs to the "honorable twenty-eight pure-blood families", naturally has house elves. Although the Longbottom family elves were inherited by Neville's uncle, Neville was also a house elf. Those who have taken care of them for a while naturally don’t think it’s a big deal.
Dean, Seamus and Harry, on the other hand, have no concept of house elves. In fact, many ordinary wizards have never seen a house elf several times in their lives. Their understanding of elves comes more from Books like A History of Magic.
As for Fish...does it make any difference to him whether he has a house-elf or not?
After Ron was having fun for a while, he noticed that everyone else looked calm. He quickly pretended to cough twice to cover up his embarrassment, and quickly changed the topic, "Fish, you know? Harry and I They all joined Gryffindor... Ouch!"
In the middle of Ron's words, he was interrupted by Harry's concealed kick. Then he realized that Fish had been unhappy for the past two days because he couldn't ride a broom and an owl. Now he was talking about Quidditch. How could it be? Aren't you stimulating Fei Xu?
In fact, Fish had almost forgotten about this matter at this time. Anyway, there were so many fun things in school. Even if he couldn't fly, he could usually climb to high places, so the flying broomstick was not actually a priority in Fish's heart. How high.
"Meow?"(●ω●)
Fish, who was sitting cross-legged on his bed, playing with a few Gobstones, raised his head, glanced at Ron, and tilted his head in confusion.
"What did you and Scarhead join?"
"Uh... that..." Ron choked twice and casually used his only strong point as an excuse, "We joined the Gryffindor Wizarding Chess Club! Right, Harry?"
"Huh? Oh! Yes, that's right!"
Harry nodded quickly and cooperated.
"Wizard's chess?"
Fei Xu recalled it, and he still had an impression of this thing. A group of very verbose little chess pieces became much better behaved after being beaten by him.
But Fisch is not good at things like playing chess. He doesn't understand the rules at all. Why can some chess pieces only move diagonally while others can only move straight? And why do both sides take turns moving the pieces?
In Fish's opinion, as long as you are fast, you can move as many steps as you want and move however you want.
So after hearing Ron introduce the rules of wizard chess before, he quickly lost interest.
"It's boring, meow."
Fish lowered his head again and continued to pick up the high cloth stones scattered on the bed.
Of course he didn't understand the rules of Gobstone, but they were small round balls. In Fish's eyes, this thing was much more interesting than Wizard Chess.
After pulling the Gobushi for a while, Fish transformed back into his cat form, then quickly climbed along the pillar hanging the curtain beside the bed to the top of the bed and lay down on it.
Harry and others could only see Fish's four little paws sticking out from the edge of the bed, and his tail that flicked from time to time, showing its tip playfully and then quickly retracting it.
Recently, Firth fell in love with the feeling of resting and sleeping on the top of the bed... although he didn't sleep in the dormitory most of the time.
When Firth calmed down, the whole dormitory naturally became quiet. Harry and others, who were exhausted today, took this opportunity to take a good rest.
It was not until dinner time that they heard that Firth had visited the common rooms of the other three colleges today.
However, this kind of thing was not difficult to understand for Firth, so the Gryffindor students did not take it to heart after being surprised for a while.
Only the twins wanted to ask Firth how to enter the Slytherin common room after knowing this.
Unfortunately, Firth didn't even remember the password of his own dormitory, let alone Slytherin.
And when he went to the Slytherin common room, he stayed on Malfoy and Crabbe's shoulders all the time, and did not leave scent marks on the road, so he couldn't even tell the specific location.
The twins couldn't ask a reason, and finally had to give up helplessly.
Just as George and Fred kept telling Fish that they must remember the location and password of the Slytherin common room next time, Professor McGonagall, who had finished dinner, walked over to them.
"Minerva!" ●ω●
Fish rushed over immediately, hugged her arm and rubbed it, which made all the little wizards envious.
Professor McGonagall touched Fish's little head, and a smile flashed across her face. She kept a serious face and looked at the twins, "Tonight at nine o'clock, still in the hallway, your detention is not over yet."
"Great! You can be detained again tonight!" ヽ(▽)ノ
Fish, who had a deep misunderstanding of the word "detention", raised his hands and cheered.
George and Fred: "..."

Recommendation ticket monthly ticket
Arthur and Molly eloped, and their attitude towards house elves, are all mentioned in the original text.
Molly's family name is Prewett, which is also one of the 28 families. However, the original text only mentions that her two brothers were killed by Death Eaters, and no one else was mentioned. The same is true for Arthur. It seems that he is the only branch of the Weasley family left. I guess they are all dead.
After all, one of the characteristics of the Weasley family is that they value family affection. Even if they elope, they should still have some contact after so many years. It is unlikely that they will never see each other again.
And the original text also said that elopement was a trend at that time.
I think this "trend" has a subtext. The so-called elopement is actually a disguised means of preserving bloodline to prevent the whole family from being dragged into the war at that time.
Of course, it may also be that Rowling did not think so much...

Frozen Chi tastes good, I recommend it.
There is a party tonight, and I probably can't write. I have added a little bit of drafts with great difficulty...
