Alchemy professor at Hogwarts

Chapter 126 Dobby the House-Elf

Walking out of the library, Hardy happened to see Oliver Wood calling the Gryffindor team members to quickly rush to the field for Quidditch training.

In the last semester, because of the Slytherin Chamber of Secrets and the Basilisk, there was only time for a simple ball game.

With the efforts of Harry Potter, an excellent ball seeker, Gryffindor narrowly defeated Slytherin and contributed a wonderful performance to the teachers and students of Hogwarts.

After finishing the alchemy course of the fourth grade, Hardy walked towards his lounge.

He just stood at the door, and immediately drew his wand from the wizard robe.

He heard someone in the break room whispering, "Oh my God, never seen anything like this..."

With a sound of "bang", Hardy suddenly pushed open the door, just in time to see a short green figure leaning over the magic gathering cup.

"No, Dobby is not a bad guy!"

The short green figure turned around in horror, and Hardy realized that it was a house-elf he had never seen before.

It was short, with batlike ears and a long thin nose, and protruding green eyes the size of tennis balls.

When he saw Hardy raise his wand, Dobby immediately raised his slender fingers, as if he wanted to snap his fingers to get away from here.

Creatures like house elves have extremely high magical talents and can easily do things that ordinary wizards cannot.

For example, at this moment in Hogwarts cast a magic similar to Apparition.

This is why the other party was able to break into Hardy's lounge.

Dobby's fingers were already clenching, but Hardy moved faster.

The tip of his wand flickered with blazing light, and the former's hands immediately hit the ground heavily, as if they were handcuffed with heavy handcuffs.

"Dobby is not a bad person! Dobby has no bad intentions!"

Hardy walked to the magic cup, and after confirming that Agnes was still soundly asleep, he turned around and lowered his wand, "Looking unconscious!"

The white light hit Dobby, and immediately made his big head hit the cold stone brick.

Staring at the intruder in front of him from a distance, Hardy took out the extra Christmas gift that Snape gave him from the drawer——

A bottle of powerful veritaserum.

When he opened the cork and poured the dark green liquid into Dobby's mouth, the latter slowly opened his big dull eyes, answering Hardy's questions knowingly.

After half an hour.

Hardy raised his wand, causing Dobby, who was lying on the ground, to fall onto the single chair, and his inner vigilance eased a lot.

"A house-elf who can disobey the master's order...it's rare." Hardy poured a glass of cherry juice and tasted it carefully.

According to the "forced questioning" just now, Hardy learned:
During the summer vacation of Harry's first grade, Dobby accidentally overheard the secret of his master Lucius Malfoy——

To deliver a dangerous dark magic item, Tom Riddle's diary, to Harry Potter.

After knowing that Harry would be in danger at Hogwarts, it sneaked to Privet Drive to warn Harry not to return to Hogwarts, although that resulted in Harry receiving a warning letter from the Ministry of Magic.

Later, Dobby blocked the brick walls of Nine and Three-quarters Station, which forced Harry and Ron to miss the Hogwarts Express and drive Mr. Weasley's flying car to the school.

In addition, during Harry's Quidditch match last term, Dobby also controlled the Bludger to run wild.

The purpose is to drive Harry Potter away from the dangerous Hogwarts, although Harry's arm was finally broken.

According to the other party, this time it sneaked into his room secretly to express its gratitude.

Because he destroyed Tom Riddle's diary and prevented Harry Potter from being seriously injured.

As for Dobby lingering by the magic cup, it was purely because he was surprised and curious about Agnes.

Soon, under Hardy's patient waiting, Dobby got rid of the effect of the powerful veritaserum and opened his eyes drowsily.

With a "bang", it flipped from the single chair to the ground in a panic, rolled a few times like a ball, and then curled up in the corner.

"Dobby!" Hardy sat on the chair and called the other party's name, "You can go."

Dobby walked over cautiously, staring at his big tennis ball eyes. It was wrapped in a temporary rag made of old pillowcases, with innocence written all over his eyes.

"Thank you for protecting Harry Potter," it said, "I didn't mean to hurt that..."

Raising his extremely long finger, Dobby pointed to Agnes in the magic cup, "It's so beautiful, Dobby didn't dare to look at it directly."

"Thank you, it's called Agnes." Hardy folded his hands and sat on the chair. "I know your thanks, Dobby, and now you can leave."

"No, Dobby wants you to stop my master from harming Harry Potter again."

After saying this sentence, it seemed to go crazy suddenly, and hit the wall of the room with all its strength, "Bad Dobby! Bad Dobby!"

"Boom", "Boom"...

Seeing the other party's self-abuse behavior, Hardy was obviously taken aback, but soon, he figured everything out.

As house elves, serving their master wholeheartedly is something that is engraved in their bones, and it has even become their nature.

Like Dobby, there are very few elves who can disobey their master's orders, but even so, when it disrespects its master, it will still use various methods to punish itself.

"Bad Dobby should be punished!" It beat its head hard, "Dobby's hands should be ironed!"

Seeing that the other party started hitting the cabinet after hitting the wall, Hardy had to raise his wand and lock its limbs, so that it could only struggle and wriggle on the ground like a caterpillar.

"The absolute obedience of house-elves to their masters is something worth studying."

Hardy's eyes flickered, watching Dobby gradually regain his composure, and then regain control of himself.

"Harry Potter is my student, and it is my duty as a professor to protect him." He said slowly.

Dobby knelt on the ground pitifully, and took out a stone from under the clothes that had been converted from a pillowcase, "This is Dobby's gift."

It drooped its head and put the stone on the ground, as if it was afraid that Hardy would refuse again, it immediately snapped its fingers and disappeared into the room.

Raising his wand, Hardy grasped the dark brown stone in his hand and looked at it. The tip of the wand flickered against the stone continuously, but no results were detected.

"An ordinary stone?" Hardy couldn't help being startled, and then smacked his lips.

It's really polite and affectionate.

He shook his head, put Dobby's gift on the table indifferently, and then prepared fresh berry juice from Hagrid for Agnes who had just woken up.

"Sweet Xixi..."

Agnes rolled her belly and swam comfortably in the oak barrel filled with berry juice.

After it was full, it flew onto Hardy's shoulder, and used its little head to rub the latter's cheek affectionately.

……

On a new day, Hardy went to the Forbidden Forest in his spare time and brought back some different types of branches and fine diamonds.

Before Luna came, he pressed the tip of his staff against the stone bricks, quickly drew a formation, and then knocked on the ground, causing it to emit a dazzling light.

After a while, the light dissipated, and several carving knives of different lengths and widths immediately appeared on the charred black stone bricks. They were the ring carving tools that Hardy had prepared for Luna.
