HP Polar Night

Harry opened his mouth wide, staring in shock at what was happening before him.

The firelight completely reflected the appearance of the visitor. It was a little monster with skinny limbs and huge eyes. It had two big bat-like ears and a slender nose. The whole body seemed to be covered with four holes. In an old pillowcase.He looks a bit like the goblin from Gringotts, but there seems to be some differences.

"Harry Potter must get out of here!" The little monster clutched the clothes on its chest tightly, its eyes were surprisingly bright, reflecting the light of the flames.

The scorching heat of the fire hit his face, and the black smoke billowed. Harry was so choked that he bent over, and it was difficult to open his eyes.

"Ahem...cough cough...I, we have to call Agares out..." He tried to run towards the bedroom, but an invisible wall blocked him.Harry realized that it was done by the little monster in front of him, and turned to look at him.

"Dobby can't keep Harry Potter in touch with Mr. Black!"

"Why, why...cough cough..."

"Yeah, I really want to know why." A voice suddenly came from behind, and Harry realized that the barrier had disappeared. He staggered and stood upright with the help of someone who came.

Agares, holding a wand, appeared in front of his eyes. His face was expressionless, and the fire was shining in his eyes, but it seemed that there was an abyss, deep and terrifying.

The little monster, Dobby the house-elf, gasped and stared at them with wide-eyed horror.He backed up a few steps and didn't stop until he hit the leg of the sofa.

Agares waved his wand, and a few streams of clear water poured on the fire accurately, and the flames were extinguished. "The wind is sweeping." The window was pushed open by an invisible force, and a gust of wind swept in, sweeping out all the choking black smoke in the house.In a blink of an eye, only the unpleasant smell of burnt objects remained in the room.

With a snap, the lights in the room were turned on.

Under the light, the house after the fire was in a mess.

"Dobby, I order you to stand there and no magic is allowed from now on until I tell you it's okay. Do you hear me?" Agares ordered.

Dobby the house elf seemed to want to disappear in the local area very much, but he didn't dare. Being caught by Agares for betraying his master made Dobby terrified!He wants to put his ears in the oven!Wanted to smash myself in the head with a frying pan!Dobby did something wrong!Dobby will have his head cut off and hung up as a decoration!As with every house-elf who has served the Black family!

Harry saw Dobby's fear, and asked aloud, "Agares, who is he? Do you know him?"

"Dobby is a house elf who has served the ancient wizarding family for generations." In front of Harry, Agares did not directly say that the family Dobby served was Malfoy.But Harry can guess which "ancient wizarding family" Dobby is serving as long as he thinks about it.

Isn't the most direct ancient wizard family related to Agares the Malfoy family?

"He said Hogwarts was dangerous and wanted to keep me from going back to school," said Harry.

Dobby sobbed, as if he didn't want Harry to tell Agares what happened, but he didn't dare to say a word, and froze in place, as if under a petrification spell.

Agares was thoughtful, and he asked, "Who did you come here on orders from? Answer me, Dobby!"

The wizard's order is irreversible to Dobby, especially this wizard is still living in the family he serves, and has been given the right to order by the master. "Dobby... Dobby didn't follow anyone's orders... Dobby came by himself, bad Dobby! Bad Dobby!" He raised a teapot and slammed it on his head forcefully, accompanied by a huge screams.

Harry tried to stop him, but Agares said, "Stop, Dobby, I said stop!"

Dobby stopped his movements for an instant, and cautiously probed Agares' expression.

The expression on Agares' face softened a little, at least it didn't look so scary.But that doesn't mean he let go of this self-indulgent maverick who burned his own house-elf. "Where did you hear about this?"

Dobby's eyes widened, and he raised the teapot and was about to smash it on his head.

In his movement, Agares immediately understood.House-elfs punish themselves harshly only when they do something bad to their master.Which means Dobby must have gotten the news from the Malfoys.

"Stop! Dobby. Now tell me, what's the danger at Hogwarts?"

"Dobby, Dobby can't tell, sir." The elf looked at Agares pitifully, and then at Harry.

"Nothing to do with Voldemort?" Agares asked.

Dobby shuddered at the name he heard, but nodded hesitantly.

"Something about the Death Eaters?"

Harry glanced at Agares for the word.

Dobby shuddered and nodded.He looked even more frightened.

"Death Eaters are attacking Hogwarts?" Agares continued to ask, and Harry gasped at the question he asked.

But Dobby shook his head in denial.

Agares changed the direction and asked: "What danger will Hogwarts encounter? Someone must die in this danger?"

Dobby nodded.

"This time the danger is for Harry Potter?"

Dobby looked aside at Harry, but he shook his head.

"Aiming at the Muggle-born wizards in Hogwarts?" Agares said to the point.

Dobby nodded vigorously, and he finally spoke: "There is a conspiracy, there will be great danger in Hogwarts, and those who are not from wizard families will be hurt very seriously, very seriously! Mr. Dobby , Dobby can't put Harry Potter at risk, he's too important to risk..."

Harry couldn't say a word, his eyes were full of shock.

Of course he knew who were those who held different views between Muggle-born wizards and wizard-born wizards. The supporters of blood theory, especially the Death Eaters camp led by Voldemort, were mostly.In the eyes of Death Eaters, Muggle-born wizards are a stain that must be removed.This point of view started the war more than a decade ago, in which Harry's parents lost their lives.

Of course Agares knew it too, and he continued to ask, "Dumbledore can't stop this conspiracy?"

Dobby let out a sob and shook his head.

Albus Dumbledore, winner of the Order of Merlin First Class, president of the International Federation of Magicians, chief wizard of the Wizengamot, is recognized as the greatest wizard of our time.During his tenure as headmaster of Hogwarts, it was well ensured that neither Voldemort nor the Death Eaters could lay their hands on the school.Hogwarts has become truly the safest fortress.

"Is this going to happen? Or is there a possibility of being prevented?"

Dobby was startled, as if he hadn't considered the possibility of preventing this from happening.From his expression, Agares got the answer.

"Okay, I see, you go back quietly now, don't tell anyone about it. Harry Potter will return to Hogwarts safely, and you can't show up at Hogwarts without permission." In front of Harry Potter. Do you hear me, Dobby." When Agares said this, even though his tone was very gentle, Dobby seemed to have been severely beaten.

He yelled, "Dobby heard it! Dobby will do it! Dobby is going to go back and punish himself, Dobby is going to put his ears in the oven! Bad Dobby! Bad Dobby!" head, and then disappeared in place with a bang.

After watching everything in a daze, Harry swallowed, turned his head to look at Agares, and waited for the other party to answer his questions.

Agares looked at the completely damaged furniture and the living room, sighed, and said, "Harry, it seems that our summer vacation plan will end early. For the danger of Hogwarts that Dobby mentioned, I Gotta go back to the Malfoys."

"Huh? Oh, okay." Harry was slow for two seconds before he could react.Although it was a pity that this accident caused their plan to be interrupted, Harry certainly knew that the safety of Hogwarts was more important than a pleasant summer vacation.So he thoughtfully said: "I can go back to the Dursleys' house, and we can meet on the Hogwarts Express after school starts."

Agares saw the boy's sincere dislike for the Dursleys, and he said, "Or you can stay at Hermione's house for a while and go to school with her." The boy shook his head, obviously he didn't want to disturb the Grangers' house, after all Hermione is a girl.Agares said again: "Didn't Weasley always write to invite you to visit their house? You can accept their invitation."

In comparison, going to Ron's house seemed to be the best choice, and Harry was also happy to go to the Weasley's house as a guest, but he didn't want to trouble others too much.

In the end, under the persuasion of Agares, Harry complied with his will and wrote a reply to Ron, expressing that he was looking forward to visiting the Burrow, as long as the Weasleys would not find him too disturbing.The next day, Hedwig brought Ron's reply.

In the letter, Ron used various exaggerated words to express his family's welcome to Harry, and made an appointment with him to meet at King's Cross Station this afternoon. Mrs. Weasley and Ron would come to pick him up to the Burrow .

With a few hours left before the appointed time, Harry packed his luggage, put the scattered spell books and clothes in the box, and the summer homework that was almost finished - thanks to Agares Li's family brought it out, otherwise Harry really didn't know how he would complete the tasks assigned by the professors.

Because Uncle Vernon locked all his luggage in the cabinet and didn't allow him to mention anything about magic at home.Under those circumstances, it was absolutely impossible for Harry to have time to finish his homework.

Another obvious benefit of living with Agares was that Harry could effectively finish his homework in just the two or three hours before bed after a day of fun.Sometimes study assignments are moved to teatime, and Hermione joins them.The studious little witch has already done everything in the first week of summer vacation, and all the papers she is writing now are extensions of homework.

This is the best place to be surrounded by academic masters.

In the afternoon, Agares personally took Harry to the station and waited with him until Mrs. Weasley and Ron showed up.

Mrs. Weasley gave Harry a very warm welcome - a hug that was enough to take his breath away, and she seemed to have heard about Agares already. "You are Agares. I often hear Fred and the others talk about you. After they learned that Harry was with you, they always wanted to invite you to the Burrow. If you have no other plans, my child, I would like to say that you and Harry are more than welcome to visit us at the Burrow."

She had obviously forgotten the meeting with Agares at the station back then. Perhaps at that time, Agares was just a little wizard she met by chance and was being bullied by her twin sons.

This fat witch has an unusually soft and warm heart. Facing the role of such a mother, Harry always unconsciously reveals a trace of longing.

Agares declined her with a smile: "Mrs. Weasley, I also really want to visit your home. It will be a very happy and happy family. It's a pity that I need to go back to my guardian's home. If there is a chance next time, I hope you won't refuse my interruption."

Of course Mrs Weasley would not refuse.She held Harry's shoulders, and Ron, who was eager to go home, but had to stay here to listen to their greetings because his mother was still talking, said goodbye to Agares together.Later they will return to the Burrow via the Floo Network.

After watching them go, Agares summoned Dobby.The magic of the house-elf could take him anywhere he was allowed, including Malfoy Manor.
