Chapter 85: The Escaped House Elf

"Okay, Hermione!" Fan Lin stood up at the right time.

"I think Harry and Ron must have learned a lesson." Harry and Ron nodded cooperatively. "Don't dwell on the problem between the two of them today. Professor McGonagall has already punished them, and isn't it the best outcome if they return to school safely?"

"You should be really lucky that you were not kicked back home from Hogwarts by Professor McGonagall." Hermione looked at the two of them angrily.

"Yes, we know we were wrong." When Hermione showed signs of relenting, both of them were happy and hurriedly admitted their mistake.

"Really, do you know how dangerous it is? An underage wizard drove a flying car over London. You should really thank Dumbledore, otherwise you two should be there now You will be called to the Ministry of Magic for lectures."

"No way..." Ron smiled awkwardly.

"No?" Hermione looked very angry, "Do you know how many laws you have violated? I guess people from the Ministry of Magic must have had contact with Dumbledore."

"Ron, Hermione is right..." Harry looked at the confused Ron and said with shame, "I received a letter from the Ministry of Magic during the holidays, that's why Dursley Lock up the couple."

"Oh, right." Ron's nerves were quite out of control. "Harry, you haven't told me what happened to you to receive a letter from the Ministry of Magic."

"Please." Hermione shook her head speechlessly, "I really lost to you. You focused all your attention on eating, didn't you?"

"...Uh, I did...didn't hear it." Ron shrank his head, looking very aggrieved.

But everyone seemed to be used to Ron's appearance, at least no one sympathized with him.

"I'm talking to you, Ron." Harry looked at Ron seriously.

"A crazy house elf named Dobby came to my house during the holidays. He was so weird."

"Then what?" Speaking of house elves, Fan Lin couldn't help but think of old Vitor.

"He kept yelling that he wanted to punish himself, banging his head against the wall crazily, saying that Dobby was a bad elf. In order to stop him, I cast a petrification spell on him."

"Well, a very smart choice." Fan Lin nodded approvingly. Harry's strength has obviously improved a lot, and he can think of the petrification spell and release it immediately.

Suddenly, Fan Lin felt that two cold lights next to him were constantly shooting at him, making Fan Lin very uncomfortable. Then he remembered that Hermione was still sitting next to him, and how stupid what he had just said was.

After laughing twice, Fan Lin motioned for Harry to continue.

"Because of this, I received a letter from the Ministry of Magic, saying that I had violated regulations." Harry spread his hands, which also made him very speechless.

"You still feel very proud, don't you?" Hermione couldn't find a trace of guilt on Harry's face.

"Okay, Hermione, there's nothing we can do about it. We can't subdue a house elf without magic. Besides, wouldn't it be worse to be discovered by Muggles?" Fan Lin quickly smoothed things over.

"Compared to this, I am more curious about why the house elf came to find you, Harry." Hermione nodded, agreeing with Fan Lin's words, and continued to ask: "You know, house elves are all ancient A servant only owned by the magic family. Or, what family does your father belong to?"

"I don't know. Dobby is a house elf who secretly escaped from another family, but he has never said who his master is."

"Sneaking away?" Fan Lin looked at Harry in disbelief. Regarding house elves, Fan Lin's impression was still that of the humble and humble old Vitor.

This creature, so humble to the core, never looked like it could sneak away. At least old Vitor of the Fanlin family never said he was running away.

"Yes, he sneaked out. He also told me that he would not let me come to Hogwarts this year. He said that there was an extremely evil conspiracy to launch in Hogwarts. He also threatened me and took you away Write me a letter."

"threaten?"

Fan Lin only felt that what Harry said completely subverted his sense of house elves.

"No, Dobby did not threaten Harry Potter. Dobby was trying to protect Harry Potter."

A very sharp voice suddenly came from a corner.

"Dobby?" Harry called in surprise.

"Is this the house elf that threatens you?" Fan Lin looked at the ragged house elf in front of him.

This is very different from old Vitor. Dobby's clothes are very shabby, and his two big eyes protrude outward. From Dobby's face, it can be seen that Dobby is still a young elf, but he is still miserable. There is a wound at the corner of his eye that has not yet healed. It seems that he has been beaten severely.

"Dobby's words are all for the good of Harry Potter. Dobby must protect Harry Potter, because Harry Potter is a brave man, and of course, you, Mr. Fanlin Elle."

"Me?" Fan Lin pointed at himself in surprise.

"That's right, it's you, Mr. Fanlin Aier." Dobby bowed humbly. However, this action caused Dobby to feel a lot of pain.

Fanlin guessed that Dobby's waist and abdomen also had wounds from the beating.

"Mr. Fanlin Elle, like Harry Potter, you escaped from that man's hands and successfully prevented that man's resurrection. Dobby has the obligation to protect you."

"Why? How did you know about this?" Fan Lin stared at Dobby with his eyes. Regarding Voldemort, Dumbledore personally issued an order to block the news.

But the house elf named Dobby in front of him clearly knew what happened that night.

"This is not a secret at all for house elves, but Dobby has never leaked the news. Otherwise, Dobby will definitely punish himself severely."

As Dobby spoke, his hands kept stirring in front of him, which made Dobby look very aggrieved.

"Punish yourself? You don't need to do that at all." Hermione looked at the ugly and pitiful little creature in front of her, feeling very unbearable.

But Dobby ignored Hermione and continued to say to Fanlin: "Dobby looked for you during his vacation, sir, but it's a pity that Dobby didn't find you, otherwise Dobby would have stopped you. Haha. Lippert comes to Hogwarts this year."

"Dobby..." Harry said at a loss: "But why do you have to stop me and Fan Lin from coming to Hogwarts? You know, we belong here, and I think you and I It’s very clear.” (To be continued)
