When Draco saw his father come to see him, he was very, very, very happy.

Even if the reason is to check the safety of Hogwarts.

That means Dad cares about him, doesn't it?

The meeting place is the principal's office, which is not difficult to guess.After all, Lucius appeared as a school manager.

After Draco went in, he found that besides his father and Dumbledore, the savior Potter was also there.

— This is rather strange.Even if Potter participated in the siege and suppression of the basilisk, it was only as a helper, so why should he appear?

But Draco greeted him with his usual face, then walked to his father and sat down.

"Oh, Mr. Malfoy." Dumbledore smiled, pushed a plate at hand, and suggested, "Would you like some cockroach skewers?"

Draco glanced at the black object moving around on the plate, and shook his head sullenly in refusal.

Dumbledore seemed a little regretful, picked up one, and stuffed it into his mouth: "This is a specialty of Hogsmeade."

Draco saw Dumbledore put the thing that looked like a cockroach into his mouth, with the two whiskers still hanging out of his mouth, swinging back and forth as he spoke, his stomach felt sick, as if the next I'm about to spit out everything I ate at lunch in seconds.

He turned his head away quickly, not looking at Dumbledore, and it happened that he also saw Potter's livid face.It seems... also disgusted.

Draco seemed to feel better about having someone who was going through it with him.But he still rubbed against his father.

Hmph, even if you feel better, let Dad know that he is disgusted!Let Daddy clean up that old bee!

"Dumbledore, although the matter of petrification seems to be resolved and the basilisk was killed, you have to tell me, or all the school managers, who is controlling the basilisk?" Lucius spoke very Slow, with a long ending, and a slightly raised chin, looking like an aristocrat.

Dumbledore took out a notebook with a black hole in the middle from the drawer, staring at Lucius: "Look, this is the tool to control the basilisk."

"Dumbledore, are you kidding me? You just took the book and thought it was all right?"

"Of course. Like last time, Voldemort used this notebook to control others, thereby controlling the basilisk to make trouble in Hogwarts." Dumbledore looked calm, but kept his eyes on Lucius, "Very good plan , didn't you? If it hadn't been for Harry—and Granger to find the entrance, and this notebook is near that entrance, no one would have known it would be like this."

Lucius didn't speak, he suddenly became expressionless, as if wearing a mask.

For a while, the room was silent.

"Since this is the case, we will continue to privately search for those who are bewildered and controlled by this notebook." Finally, it was Dumbledore who broke the silence.

After walking out of the principal's office, Draco saw Dobby waiting outside the door with drooping ears, and when he saw them come out, he obviously became much more emotional.And, this uptick was especially evident after seeing Potter.

Draco glanced at Potter without leaving a trace, but he was a little puzzled.When did Dobby know Potter?

Before Lucius could speak, Potter called out first: "Dobby!"

Draco saw his father's eyes froze, turned to face Potter, and asked, "Savior Potter...how did you know that this house elf belonging to the Malfoy family is called Dobby?"

Potter was also obviously taken aback, and opened his mouth, trying to explain something.Draco suddenly remembered that during the summer vacation, Alberta had said that there was a strange house-elf in his house who would talk to himself in the corner with several letters in his hand.Could it be... Dobby?

Draco thought about this, and suddenly interposed between his father and Potter, he imagined what Alberta would do if he encountered such a thing.Then he said: "Father, Dobby doesn't know many secrets, and he worships the savior, why not lend it to the savior?"

Lucius naturally understood the relationship between borrowing and giving.Although lending to the savior is equivalent to giving it to the savior, Dobby's ownership still belongs to the Malfoy family, and Malfoy's orders are still obeyed.If he wanted to know the current situation of the savior, he called Dobby directly, but Dobby would not have the guts and ability to disobey his master's order.

Lucius looked at Draco for a few seconds, then glanced at Dobby who was standing aside with his head down, and said, "Dobby, I will lend you to the savior Potter, and your right to use it will be transferred to Potter. "

Dobby seemed to have won so much glory, and started to cry, and said: "My kind master asked me to take care of Harry Potter! Dobby belongs to Harry Potter!"

Draco didn't want to stay there anymore, turned around and left.And his father Lucius walked behind him.

When he was about to reach the cellar, Lucius put his hand on Draco's shoulder, walked up to the position next to him, and asked him, "How did you know that Dobby had the idea of ​​betraying Malfoy?"

Draco thought for a while, and said exactly what Alberta said during the summer vacation, and at the end, he added: "Thinking about it now, the letter Dobby held in his hand at that time was very important. Probably all Potter's."

"Whether it's that Potter's or not, at least... Dobby's ownership is still in Malfoy's hands, it's just the right to use it. If it really betrays and lets others know the secrets of the Malfoy family, even if it's not very important, It's also very troublesome." After speaking, Lucius' words were full of gloom.

Draco also thought of this situation, as if a boulder was pressed against his chest, he was a little out of breath.The education he received since he was a child is that house elves are born with noble families, they are attached to the nobles, they are proud of executing orders, they are loyal and will never betray.But now, there is a different kind, Dobby worships Potter and can even resist the slavishness from his blood.How could this not make Draco angry!

"Okay, Draco, don't think about it too much. You have to work hard for the final exam this semester. I'll go to Severus first, you go back to the dormitory."

After listening to Draco finish the matter, several people fell into deep thought.If house-elf rebellion is no longer an exception, how can nobles like them who have several house-elves keep their family secrets from being known to others?Especially for a person like Potter who has a high reputation in the magic world, what would happen if another traitor like Dobby appeared, and Potter or Dumbledore asked him about family secrets?

It's just unimaginable...

"Is this just a very rare existence? I don't think any of the house elves in Hogwarts have this kind of thing." While they were thinking, Alberta said calmly, "But what can't be ignored is that Well, the magic used by house-elves is different from the magic used by us wizards, and they can even come and go freely in Hogwarts, where disapparation is forbidden. It would be a good help if... we could use this."

"That's true." Neil first agreed.

This topic seemed to have been gently brushed aside, but everyone present knew it and kept it in their hearts.

After a while, the mandrake matured, and those petrified returned to normal.Although during the brewing of the potion, Professor Snape was really not in a good mood.

"Oh, Your Highness, I suspect that it's because the dean has to put aside his research on the potion materials of the basilisk and boil the mandrake recovery potion, which makes the dean not in a good mood." Beside Alberta, pouted.

Alberta was stunned for a moment, and then remembered the news that all the useful potion materials on the basilisk were scoured by the head of the basilisk after killing the basilisk.But she soon turned her attention to other things: "Brace, don't dwell on your girlfriends, look at you, the history of magic paper is full of mistakes."

Blaise looked at the circled mistakes and burst into tears: "Your Highness, please forgive me! Who can write a thesis on the history of magic as perfectly as you! Professor Binns will not read it so carefully. !"

Pan Xi said coolly: "Brace, if you continue like this, be careful to get a D (bad) in the history of magic."

"Hey, Pansy, don't curse me!"

"I don't have this bloodline, the curse can't come."

"...Pancy, your tone is so scary QAQ"

The author has something to say: Today is a little less, so here are a few photos of Lucius, um, from his youth:

The one on the front is a bit effeminate, sorry QAQ
