[HP] Blast! Word Small Universe

The life of the holiday began, and after Jane stayed in the house for three full days, she found that such days were not acceptable.She had to get out, or she might get moldy inside the house.In particular, TV programs can no longer attract her attention at all. She feels that no matter how many things she watches on TV, she might as well try them herself. For example, she saw how to make pizza on TV.

Now she spends more time improving her quality of life, perhaps because she is bored enough and idle enough.Apart from playing with the flowers and plants in the garden, she can't find much entertainment. After all, she is still a child, only a 12-year-old child. After being a guest at the police station last year, she knew a child In the human world, there are actually many restrictions.This couldn't help but make her envious of those little fallen angels or little angels in hell and heaven. Those little guys don't have so many restrictions in heaven and hell, and they can go to any place.But then again, there is still no child in the world who has lived thousands or hundreds of years.

John Lewis① is the nearest department store to Manila Road. Jane spent almost a morning shopping around the entire mall from top to bottom.She found that the world of Muggles is actually more colorful than the world of wizards, because in the world of wizards, it is impossible for you to find such a large department store with such a complete variety, but department stores in the Muggle world can do arrive.

She bought a bunch of things in the department store, including food and everything she needed to buy, and even bought four or five sets of clothes, all spring, summer, autumn and winter.When she left the mall with her bags, she had to find a taxi②.

When she returned to the house, Jane ran three times carrying those big and small bags before moving all those things home.

Perhaps it was because shopping vented her inner loneliness, so at dinner, she happily hummed a song and gave herself a seafood pizza according to the catering program on the TV.

Not long after dinner, she received a letter from Harry. The letter was delivered by a snow-white owl named Hedwig. She knew it was Harry's owl in the last semester. up.

She opened the letter Harry had written her—

Dear Jane, I wish you all the best.After leaving Hogwarts, I feel that the whole vacation time is extremely slow. I can't wait to go back to school. I think you should be the same as me.Just last night, I encountered a very strange thing.A house-elf named Dobby showed up on Privet Drive, where my uncle and aunt lived, and warned me not to go back to school.I think this is so ridiculous, Hogwarts is my only hope, how can I leave there.But Dobby said someone was trying to kill me, but he wouldn't tell me who it was.

Specifically I don't think I can say too much in the letter, if we meet next time, I think I will tell you all that happened last night.

Jane put away the letter paper, feeling a little strange about it.Although she didn't know what a house-elf was, she didn't think the warning from the house-elf named Dobby was groundless.After all, no one would be so bored as to go to someone's house to warn someone of the danger.

But the problem is, Harry's letter says that the house elf can't tell Harry who is going against him.That said, the house-elf seemed to know a lot, but he couldn't say it because of certain conditions.

So here's the question - what's holding Dobby's mouth in check?Let him come to tell but can't tell all the secrets.

While thinking about the problem, Jane walked towards the study on the second floor.

She opened the door of the study, and all kinds of books were placed on one wall.

These books were obtained for her by Raphael before she left. Originally, these bookshelves were filled with biographies of famous Muggles, but now Raphael replaced them with some books commonly used by wizards.Everything from herbs to magic spells.

Jane pulled out a book "Teaching You About House-Elves" from the bookshelf, and then returned to her bedroom with the book in her hand.

Putting the book and letter on her bed, Jane was not in a hurry to uncover the mystery of the house-elves, but ran to the bathroom to take a shower, then changed into pajamas, and then leaned lazily on the Open the pages of the book by the bed.

By the time she closed the book, the hour hand of the alarm clock by the bed had already pointed to 11, and she probably already knew what a house-elf was.Although she hasn't finished reading the whole book, she feels that the problem that bothered her before can almost be solved.

The book told her in the first few chapters that house-elves were a race conquered by wizards in ancient wars.Every slave must receive servile training as soon as it is born, and must serve its master for generations.They do all the housework and are bound by their masters.House elves cannot disobey their master's orders casually, and must punish themselves if they disobey.For house-elves, their highest right is to obey the orders of their masters.They have to work hard all their lives, and they will not be free until their master hands them a piece of clothing.But the problem is that all house-elves regard freedom as a symbol of shame, so no house-elves have ever tried to break free from the slavery of wizards.

Jane has always thought that hellhounds are the most obedient animals in the world, because they will die without a master.But she thinks that hellhounds don't have intelligence, they only know how to obey orders, which is completely understandable.But what makes her feel unbelievable now is that there are actually more magical species than hellhounds in the world-house elves.They are intelligent, but love to be enslaved!

The corner of her mouth twitched, and Jane couldn't understand the thoughts of those house elves.

But this also tells us that the house elf Dobby who came to warn Harry must have come behind his master's back, and maybe his master wanted to harm Harry.That's why Dobby keeps silent when asked deeper questions.But then again, since the house-elf was completely obedient to his master, there was no reason for Dobby to come and warn Harry.

Dobby's appearance, whether or not he revealed the identity of that person to Harry, was a kind of betrayal in itself.

Unless, Dobby's master made him appear on purpose.

The author has something to say:

Taxi: One night in the early spring of 1907, Aaron, a boy from a rich family, went to watch an opera on Broadway in New York with his girlfriend.When the game was over, he went to call for a carriage and asked the driver how much it would cost.Even though it was only half a mile away from the theater, the coachman actually asked for fares, 10 times more than usual.Aaron felt that it was too outrageous, so he argued with the coachman, and was knocked down by the coachman.After Aaron recovered from his injury, in order to avenge the coachman, he imagined using a car to squeeze the straddle carriage.Later, he invited a friend who repaired clocks and watches to design a meter, and named the taxi "Taxi-car", which is the origin of "Taxi" (taxi), which is now common all over the world. On October 1907, 10, "taxi" appeared on the streets of New York for the first time.
