time at hogwarts

"He said he wanted to help me." Harry looked suspicious of life.

"But he almost killed me, caused me to lose the Golden Snitch, made me violate school rules and almost got expelled on the first day of school, and intercepted the letters you sent me during the summer vacation. I don't know if he understands Meaning of the word help.”

"We should tell the professors about this." Hermione gave her immediate suggestion.

"I agree. Who knows what dangerous actions he will make next." Ron also agreed with some fear.

"Wait." Before Magos could speak, Harry interrupted Hermione's suggestion, "Actually, he also said other things, about Kang."

"Con?" Hermione and Ron asked in surprise.Magos also showed a surprised expression when his heart moved.

"Yes, Con," Harry said, glancing at the curtain again to make sure no one pulled them to the corner and whispered softly, "Dobby said that he saw Principal Dumbledore and professors secretly greeting a person this morning. A very old wizard."

"Secret greeting?"

"Yes, Dobby said that Professor Snape and Professor McGonagall dispersed the surrounding students and teachers. No one except them and Dobby knew that there was now an additional wizard in the school."

"Maybe it's something else. We all know that Principal Dumbledore is very powerful and very busy." Hermione said hesitantly.

"I don't know what Dobby was thinking at the time. He followed the principal and the others into the principal's office and heard them say..."

"Dobby is so strong? He followed the principal and professors like this without being discovered?" Magos couldn't help but question.

Harry was silent for a moment and was stunned. He looked at Magos in confusion and didn't know how to answer. When he first heard Dobby say this, he didn't even think about Dobby's ability to eavesdrop. Completely attracted by his words.Now that Magos asked him this question, he suddenly realized that according to the series of things Dobby had done before, it seemed perfectly normal to say that this was a lie to him.After all, isn't his purpose just to get him out of Hogwarts?

Hermione and Ron also thought of this, and their originally nervous emotions became complicated.

"Dobby never lied to anyone, especially to Harry Potter." A slightly angry voice sounded from not far away from them.Magos and the others were startled and quickly turned around to look over.

They saw a crumpled humanoid creature less than half their height showing an angry expression towards them.Magos was stunned for a moment, and then immediately thought that this must be Dobby. He looked similar to the house elf pictures he had seen before, and had a pair of protruding green eyes that looked like two tennis balls in the eye frames. That way, it looks a bit scary, with two big bat-like ears, a pencil-like slender nose, and very slender limbs.

"House elf?" Ron looked strangely at the sudden appearance of Dobby.

"Dobby?" Harry called. "Have you always been here?"

"Yes, Mr. Potter, Dobby has been protecting Mr. Potter." Hearing Harry's voice, Dobby instantly changed from angry to serious.

"Use the Bludger to protect him?" Hermione asked bluntly, pointing her wand at Dobby.

"No, no, Dobby doesn't want this, and Dobby doesn't want Harry Potter to get hurt." As soon as Dobby heard Hermione's words, he suddenly screamed uncontrollably, and at the same time, he walked to the bed and banged the foot of the bed hard with his head. .

"Dong dong dong..."

"Bad Dobby, Dobby, Dobby doesn't want this either. Dobby can't hurt Harry Potter."

"Dobby stop, Dobby stop." Harry walked over quickly and took hold of his thin arm.

Hermione was a little frightened by Dobby's actions, and slowly put down her wand, feeling a little at a loss when she saw his self-mutilation.

"That's what house elves are like. They serve the noble wizards loyally, and they will be punished for any overstepping actions or thoughts." Ron explained somewhat unsurprisingly.

"Is it just that he is an elf from Hogwarts? They rarely appear in front of people. They think this is an offense to us."

Hermione opened her mouth in surprise after hearing Ron's words, "Why do they think that?"

"Who knows, it's always been like this anyway. Everyone is used to it, and so are they." Ron spread his hands and said that this was normal operation.

This abnormal outlook on life is a bit too exciting for a little girl who lives in a peaceful world where everyone is equal and human rights are respected.

"This is ridiculous." Hermione looked at Ron with the eyes of a primitive person, "Why is this kind of thing still happening now?"

Ron was stunned by what she said. Is it ridiculous?Isn't this normal?House elves serve wizards and do household chores. This has always been the case, right?

Hermione didn't care what Ron thought. The way she looked at Dobby now revealed immense sympathy and pity.Just now I thought the enemy hadn't noticed, but now I realized what Dobby was wearing?Is this clothes?This is obviously an old pillowcase that even a homeless man wouldn't take a second look at. It's dirty and torn. He actually uses this as clothing?And the obvious scars on his body can be seen through the gap.

"Do you see what he is wearing? There are so many obvious injuries. This is abuse. Doesn't the Ministry of Magic care?"

"The Ministry of Magic also has many house elves, and they don't think there's anything wrong with it." Ron's matter-of-fact attitude made Hermione angry, and she angrily picked up the book at hand and threw it at it.

"Thank you, thank you Ms. Granger." Dobby looked touched.

"But please don't embarrass Mr. Weasley for me. He is right. We house elves have always been treated like pests and we will not feel uncomfortable about this."

"What about you? If you don't feel bad, why should you thank me?"

"I'm bad Dobby, bad Dobby." Dobby paused, broke away from Harry's hand, and continued to bang his head on the corner of the bed.

Although Magos also sympathized with the house elves' plight, he knew that except for Dobby, who yearned for freedom in front of him, the others could be described as angry at him and sad at his misfortune.They have been completely trained to be treated like livestock by their owners.

"We will talk about the house elves later. Now is not the time to discuss this. Since Dobby has appeared, it means that he did not deceive Harry. Is Principal Dumbledore really the wizard he invited for Kang?"

Hermione opened her mouth to speak, but knowing that Kang's news was important, she glared at Ron and stopped talking.

"Dobby," Magos said softly, "if you really want to help Harry you should stop punishing him now."

Dobby slowly stopped banging his head, looked back and saw Harry nodding, and then stopped completely.

"I'm sorry we misunderstood you just now."

"Apologise?" Dobby's big dark eyes suddenly lit up, "Does Mr. Weasley think so too?" He looked at Ron at the end with some caution.

Ron was looked at by four pairs of sudden eyes, especially those with a strong warning tone.

"Uh, yes. We're sorry." Ron said insincerely.

Dobby jumped up excitedly, "Dobby, Dobby is so happy to get an apology from the Weasley family, and Mr. Potter, you are so kind to Dobby. Wow." "At the end of the sentence, I couldn't help but cover my big eyes with my dirty hands, and tears flowed from my fingers.
