The Magical Principles of Natural Philosophy at Hogwarts

But it didn't have the expected motivating effect.

Most house-elves look scared and silly.

Seems a bit misguided?After all, these elves only have the IQ of eight or nine-year-old children, and the panic seems to have been created too much.

"Is what you said true?" Chef Cookie was the calmest, he looked straight at Erwin.

"I guarantee it with my personality," Erwin said.

Although the basilisk has been killed, the conspiracy against Hogwarts is indeed real.

Cookie sighed, "All the elves here are absolutely loyal to Hogwarts. Our ancestors have worked here for generations. It can be said that our lives have been dedicated to this castle. But sir, we cannot violate House elf rules, not to mention that if we really need to fight, we can only swing the spatula to beat the enemy."

These house elves should not have any means of attack.

"The house elf rules require you not to harm human wizards by any means, right?" Erwin narrowed his eyes.

"Yes, sir."

"And what about the house-elves themselves?" Erwin continued unhurriedly. "There is a requirement in the code that house-elves cannot harm house-elves?"

Cookie froze, and the other house-elves stared.

Riddle suddenly let out a laugh of unknown meaning. Although he hadn't made a sound before, he had been paying attention to Erwin's every move.

"What a bunch of stupid inferior races."

Of course, only Erwin himself could hear his laughter and words.

Erwin ignored him, as long as this guy didn't show himself in front of outsiders, he could make any noise, at worst, he would cut off the supply of magic power and directly silence him.

"In other words, the rules don't require house-elves to live in peace with each other." He stared at the cookie.

Although the head chef is smarter than the other elves, but in front of Erwin...it is obviously not enough.

, so he looked a little confused, "It should be true, you mean..."

"So you can help," Erwin said of his ultimate goal. "When Dobby comes to Hogwarts again, I hope you can control him."

"Sir..." Cookie still hesitated.

"I don't want you to do anything to him, just hold him, knock him out, tie him up, or stop him from apparating. You can find him coming to Hogwarts, and there are hundreds of An elf, it shouldn't be difficult to do that. Let me know as soon as you get him under control, and I'll hand him over to Professor Dumbledore."

"gentlemen……"

"This is for Hogwarts, I hope you can agree."

"Okay..." The house elf showed a hint of helplessness on his face.

Erwin smiled, he bent down and bowed, and the elves ran away in panic, seemingly afraid to bear the etiquette of a wizard, even if the wizard was only 13 years old, "On behalf of Principal Dumbledore, I would like to express my heartfelt thanks to you." Thank you, you are the cornerstone of Hogwarts. Oh, yes, because of confidentiality, because you don't take the initiative to mention this to others."

House elves are basically incapable of lying, so Erwin can only ask them not to mention it.

The elves agreed, and the secret was kept as long as they were not asked.

Erwin left with satisfaction. He left the kitchen, closed the door, and watched the handle on the fruit painting turn back into a pear.

"Okay, just a few words and thank you without any real value, and you can let this group of poor people do things for you." Riddle said.

"What's your opinion?" Erwin asked rhetorically as he walked up the steps.

"I don't have a high opinion, I just think your hand is really beautiful. If it were me, I would never have thought of using these little guys."

"Hehe, I'll take it as you are praising me."

Although I learned a few curses from Riddle, it can only be used when I meet Dobby, but Dobby can apparate at will in Hogwarts, and Erwin is currently even with this There is no teleportation spell, and there is no chance to practice.

Mobility is completely unequal.

So it is a very good choice to entrust this task to the elves at Hogwarts. Apparation versus apparition, even if Dobby is better than the same kind, it is difficult to escape the attack of several or even dozens of elves. Chase and intercept.

Then just sit back and wait.

Back in the bedroom, Erwin also went to bed and fell asleep.

Christmas 1992 passed like this.

In the next few days, Erwin's main job was to continue to improve his proficiency in making magic awakening potions, and at the same time help Hermione restore her original image.

The feline features on her body are gradually diminishing, and her mood is gradually stabilizing. After all, cat fur does not affect her study, and staying in the dormitory for several days is nothing to her. She can bear loneliness.

It's hard for Harry and Ron, these two children are responsible for bringing meals to Hermione and helping her borrow books from the library.

Hermione even asked Erwin to teach her the Transfiguration Blocking Charm, since she couldn't find a record of the spell in the library's open resources.

It can be seen that the knowledge provided by Riddle is still very valuable.

On the sixth day, Hermione had basically recovered, but she still kept the cat ears and tail. After all, they were extra body parts, which could not be easily removed like hair.

At this time, Erwin suddenly told her a very bad news. The compound soup was used up, and the recovery process had to be suspended.

"Of course I didn't do it on purpose." In the face of Miss Nutria, oh no, it should be Miss Tanuki's round eyes now, Erwin explained very calmly: "I have tried to buy raw materials to make more But it takes time. In fact, you should thank me for being able to make you recover roughly when the dose of the necessary medicine is not enough. I have been very strict in controlling the dosage since the first day..."

"Then what should I do?" Hermione felt like she was going crazy.

"One way is to surgically remove your ears and tail..."

"Are you serious?" Hermione was even more annoyed.

She didn't believe that Erwin was capable of performing surgery on her alone.

"This is indeed a feasible solution," Erwin said with a look of serious consideration, "but I suspect that the cat ears and tail are actually some parts of your own body, and the cat ears may be formed by the deformation of part of the skull and scalp. and the tail was originally your coccyx... If it is really cut off directly, there is a possibility that it will cause unpredictable consequences."

"..."

"So I suggest you maintain the status quo. Your hair is very thick and dark. It shouldn't be a problem to cover the cat ears. And the tail is covered by a robe. You shouldn't be able to see it normally. If your roommate accidentally finds out If so, just tell them you have a special hobby."

Hermione subconsciously clenched her pink fist, and then released it again. She stared at Erwin, trying to find traces of ridicule and ridicule on his face, but no, this guy's face was flat, and he didn't look like he was joking at all.

Hermione found that she couldn't get angry for a while, "That's it." She sighed helplessly.
