HP Polar Night

Agares looked at the broken cabinet on the ground. Peeves had already taken the opportunity to escape through the ceiling, and the ghost of Gryffindor had long since disappeared.So when Filch ran up angrily, he had no doubt that he would be seen as the chief culprit of the current situation.

Filch thought it was Peeves who made the big commotion, so when he saw Agareth Black standing at the door of the empty classroom, he froze for several seconds.He looked at the smashed cabinet in the classroom, and then at Agares with a calm expression.Finally, when Mrs. Norris swept his ankles with the tip of her tail, he came back to his senses.

"Agares Black! I caught him straight! You smashed the disappearing cabinet...you will be fired..." He looked inexplicably excited.Since the labor service in the first grade, Filch has disliked Agares and always wants to kick him out of school, so it's not surprising that he behaves like this now.

"The Vanishing Cabinet?" Agares focused on the term Filch mentioned.If he remembers correctly, the Vanishing Cabinet disappeared more than 100 years ago.Has it been at Hogwarts?

"Come with me! I have to make a note for you first, and then hand you over to the principal." Filch said enthusiastically.

Agares shrugged, followed Filch back to the office without explaining anything.

When Filch opened the door and went in, Harry's face flashed panic.Filch looked at him, then at the letter on the table that had deviated from its original position, his eyes widened in disbelief, and his pale face flushed instantly. "Have you read it?" He hurried to the table, grabbed the envelope and stuffed it into the drawer.

Harry quickly denied: "No!"

"You!" Filch looked quite annoyed, even his cheeks twitched slightly uncontrollably.But in the end he just said, "You go...don't reveal a word...I mean...I made it for a friend...no, if you didn't read it...you go..." He was a bit incoherent.

Harry hurried to the door, he didn't want Filch to remember to punish him again.But as soon as he walked to the door, he found a familiar person standing there. "Agares? Why are you here?"

Agares looked at Filch.

Filch seemed to have just remembered that there was another person behind him, and he hurriedly said, "You all go out...if I know you say a word...Potter..."

Harry shook his head hastily, indicating that he didn't know anything.

Filch slammed the door shut, leaving Agares and Harry, who somehow escaped punishment, looking at each other.

"Harry, why are you here?" Agares asked first.

Harry scratched his head, and pulled his muddy robe in some embarrassment. "Dirty floor, caught by Filch. What about you?"

Agares took out his wand and gave the opponent a clean up.The muddy water on the robe disappeared immediately, but the wrinkled feeling was not much different from before. "Peeves broke a cabinet and I happened to be passing by, and Filch thought I did it."

"Thank you... Oh, it turns out that Peeves made that voice just now. Then he saved me once, otherwise I would have to be punished for labor service." A gust of wind blew through Harry, shaking him.It's still pretty cold.

"Warm as spring." The pale yellow magic light fell on Harry's body, and in an instant, the temperature of his body rose, as warm as if he was bathed in sunlight.

"Wow, that's a pretty good spell."

"If you want to learn, I can teach you." Agares smiled.

Harry's emerald green eyes lit up: "Of course!" He hadn't been alone with Agares for 37 days, and he wanted to tell his black-haired friend a long time ago.

Agares still remembered the disappearing cabinet he saw just now, and he had to take it away before Filch or the house-elf of the castle went to clean it up.He took a look at Harry's distressed appearance—even though his robes had been cleaned, the green-eyed boy looked as if he had just been picked up from the water or a garbage dump.

"What you need now is a hot bath. I'll meet you in the dining room tomorrow morning. After breakfast, you can go for a walk by the Black Lake. If it rains, go to the library."

Although he wanted to catch up with Agares today, Harry also knew that his current appearance was not suitable for the appointment, so he had no choice but to agree to the plan.

"Are you hungry?" Agares asked, getting the boy's rightful nod. "I'll take you somewhere."

Harry followed curiously, and Agares took him in the direction of the Hufflepuff lounge—although it was also in the basement, the corridors of the Hufflepuff lounge, the potions classroom, and the Slytherin restroom The corridors of the rooms are quite different.Food is painted on the walls on both sides, and the wide stone corridor is brightly illuminated by torches, making it look very warm.

Agares stopped at one of the paintings, which showed a huge silver bowl full of fruit.

"Scratch this pear, Harry." Agares gestured to draw a green pear. Harry stepped forward in confusion, stretched out his index finger, and scratched the pear just as Agares said. Only pears.

Something magical happened, the pear squirmed and giggled, and then suddenly turned into a green doorknob.Without Agares saying anything, Harry already understood that this was the door to the kitchen.He grabbed the doorknob and pulled the door open.

It was a very large room, almost as large as the auditorium, and like the auditorium, there were four long tables here, which were empty, but Harry guessed that they were usually piled with delicious food.Every meal is sent to the auditorium above through the ceiling.

There were many scoured and gleaming copper pots and basins piled up against the surrounding walls, and at the other end was a huge fireplace with a few stools in front of it.

Nearly a hundred house elves were in the kitchen. They looked very similar to the house elf Dobby Harry had seen before, but they were much neater than Dobby in terms of clothes and expressions.When Harry and the others walked in, all the house-elves stopped what they were doing and stared at them with piercing eyes.

"This, this is..." Harry was too shocked to speak.

Agares called the house-elf closest to them. "Ike, prepare a midnight snack for us to take away." The elf who was summoned looked extremely excited, he straightened his back suddenly, and responded with a loud voice: "Yes! Mr. Black!"

The other elves who had not been summoned were not idle either, and soon, a basket full of food was placed in front of Harry.He tried to lift it up, thinking it would be heavy, but in fact the sweet elf Ick had cast a spell on the basket to make it light.

Harry looked at the basket full of food and said thank you gratefully.Unexpectedly, this sentence turned the house-elves into agitated emotions, especially Ike, who stood closest to Harry.Ick tugged at his collar—he was wearing the house-elf uniform: a tea towel with the Hogwarts crest on it.

Agares stopped the impulsive actions of the elves in time, and they couldn't hear the wizard thanking them.

"Go on with your business. Harry, let's go."

Before they went out, the house-elves bowed and looked like faithful servants to their masters.

After the kitchen door was closed, the doorknob changed back to a green pear.Harry asked suspiciously, "They're all like Dobby... er, house elves?" He had a hard time remembering how to pronounce the word.

Agares nodded: "The house-elves regard wizarding work as an honor and the only purpose of survival, but they are often somewhat lacking in controlling their emotions." He winked at Harry.

"Like that house-elf who showed up at your house during the summer vacation..." Harry obviously remembered the apartment that was burned down by Dobby, and the news that Dobby brought.

"Don't worry, presumably as long as there are no accidents, the thing Dobby said will not happen at Hogwarts." Agares saw through the boy's thoughts, rubbed his messy hair, and comforted him.

Harry felt instantly relieved.

"Okay, I won't send you up, you should go back and wash up, don't catch a cold." Agares stopped, and they were already standing at the stairs.Gryffindors' bedrooms are on the eighth floor, while Slytherins' bedrooms are in the basement.

"Good night, Agares." After waving goodbye to him, Harry walked upstairs carrying the food basket, and walked away in a short time.

In fact, saying goodbye to Harry, Agares didn't immediately go back to the Slytherin lounge, but went again to the empty classroom directly above Filch's office.Fortunately, the disappearing cabinet has not been cleared out, and it is still lying there quietly.Agares stepped forward and checked the cabinet carefully.

The cabinet is black and gold in alternating colors, in the shape of a triangular prism, and there are delicate silver patterns on the closed position of the two cabinet doors.

But at this time, the entire cabinet was smashed to pieces.

Agares tried to restore it with a few times, but he could only restore the cabinet to its original state. It was as silent as an ordinary cabinet.This is obviously not what the famous disappearing cabinet should look like.

It can only be brought back and slowly repaired.

However, Agares found to his annoyance that this cabinet could not be affected by the Shrinking Curse either. Even though most of it was broken, there was probably an unknown magic circle still working somewhere.For this reason, he had to summon the house elf of Hogwarts, that is, the Ike just now, with the help of the elf's magic, he moved the disappearing cabinet back to the dormitory.

Speaking of which, the house-elf's magical power is obviously much higher than that of the wizard, but limited by the contract with the wizard, it is guaranteed that a house-elf will never use harmful magic on the wizard he serves.Agares felt that this topic must also be very meaningful and could be included in his research.

The author has something to say:

Harry: Hello everyone, I am the official CP who is locked up in a small dark room by the future mother-in-law and does not have as many scenes as a certain cousin. Thank you for helping me speak up. The relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law is difficult to maintain. one~
