Chapter 366: A house elf in the kitchen!

December 1994 arrived.
At the same time came the gusty wind and rain and snow. Although there is always cold wind in the castle in winter, it is undoubtedly much better than Demstrand's big boat parked on the lake.
At least the castle had hot fires and thick walls.
The ghostly big ship swayed in the storm, and the black sails fluttered and danced in the dark night sky.
However, Demstrand School is located in the cold north, and they may have adapted to this temperature.
Hagrid arranged an after-school assignment in the magical creature protection class to let them take care of an animal called fried snail.
This animal is very ugly, with a thick gray protective layer, powerful legs that have been swaying indiscriminately, a tail that is constantly exploding, and their thorns and suction cups.
What dislikes students most is the nature of fried snails: as long as they are in a pile, they must kill each other, and eventually only one of the most powerful is left, which makes the care of students more difficult.
At the time, a large box of small fried snails that Hagrid had brought, now only ten survived, and each one grew into a two-meter-long monster.
Watching the students get a little bit injured from the burnt pumpkin seedlings on the side and grab the blasted snail back into the box, Hagrid said unintentionally: "Although it is a bit hard, this thing is very useful."
...
one night.
Hermione rushed to the table suddenly, pulling Harry away.
She said excitedly: "Harry, I found it, come with me soon."
"What happened?" Harry asked.
"You'll know when you get there, but I finally found it."
Zhang Qiu shook his head helplessly and continued to have dinner with Astoria.
When Harry and Hermione passed the bright library, Victor Krum was there again. Six or seven girls were hiding next to the row of bookshelves, looking at Krum, whispering whether to ask him to sign. But when they saw Harry who was running with their arms dragged, they ran out in surprise, looking for Harry to sign.
Viktor Krum also noticed Hermione, but when she saw Harry beside her, she couldn't help but sigh.
Hermione pulled Harry into a corridor, when they went down six floors and were following the marble staircase into the hallway below.
At the bottom of the stairs, she turned left and hurried towards a door.
This is a remote place, and Harry has not been here before.
He followed Hermione to the next stone steps. The following is not a dim and gloomy imagination, like the kind of underground passage leading to Snape's underground classroom.
On the contrary, they came to a wide stone corridor, the torches lit brightly around them, decorated with pleasant pictures everywhere, mainly painted with various foods.
One of them is a huge silver bowl full of fruits.
Hermione stood in front of the picture of the big fruit bowl, and she extended her index finger and gently scratched the big green pear. Pear wriggled, smiling silly, and suddenly protruded from the painting, distorted into a large green door handle.
Hermione grabbed it and twisted it, and a door appeared on the wall.
Then he walked in, and Harry followed her.
He already guessed this was Hogwarts.
Inside the door is a large room with a high ceiling, as large as the auditorium above. There are many clean and shiny copper pots and pots stacked around the stone wall. There is a large brick fireplace at the other end of the room.
Four long wooden tables were placed in the room and walked into the kitchen. These tables are placed exactly the same as the four college tables in the auditorium above.
More than one hundred elves were busy in the kitchen, and when they saw a wizard coming in, they all smiled, bowed, and bowed their knees. They all wore the same uniform: a tea towel with the Hogwarts logo on it. , They wrapped the tea towel as a robe.
A small thing rushed towards Harry from the center of the room, and screamed: "Mr. Potter! Mr. Potter!"
But when the master of the voice was about to rush to Harry, the figure stopped violently, because it knew that Mr. Potter had always disliked being too close to him.
Harry prepared to lift his feet and put them down: "Dobby."
Dobby said excitedly: "It's me, Dobby has been looking forward to it, looking forward to seeing Mr. Potter again!"
Dobby's big green ping-pong eyes contained tears of joy. He and Harry remembered exactly the same. The pencil-like slender nose, the pair of bat-like ears, and the long fingers and feet are still the same, but the clothes are very different.
When Dobby worked at Malfoy's house, he wore the dirty old pillowcase all year round.
Now, his wearing is really the strangest combination Harry has ever seen. It is more exaggerated than the wizards in the World Cup who want to disguise as Muggles.
It has a teapot warmer on its head, a bunch of colorful badges on it, a tie with a horseshoe pattern on its naked chest, and a pair of children's football shorts underneath. Only unmatched socks.
Hermione is holding a camera everywhere to take pictures of elves working in the kitchen.
Hermione said sympathetically: "I want to use these real work situations to explain to others how hard these domestic elves are. At that time, there will be people in our "Prohibition on cruel abuse of our magical creature friends and improvement of their legal status". joined."
Harry said, "You haven't given up yet."
Hermione has been pulling people around for a long time, but except for Malfoy who was forced to join Harry's obscene powers, the others immediately hid as soon as they heard Hermione's elf rights united front, even George Frey The two German inventors who have been studying new gadgets all day and looking for someone to experiment, see Hermione walking around.
Hermione said dissatisfiedly: "Look at them, three times a day to prepare food for the teachers and students of Hogwarts, day after day, year after year. But there is no salary, which is too unfair!"
"Dobby, don't you say that Shining is here too? Where is she? I'm going to write an essay on the change of her two identities, which may attract the attention of the silent house elves."
"Miss Granger, she is here, you come with me." Dobby hurriedly led the way.
Dobby stopped in front of the brick fireplace and showed Hermione.
"Shiny, look, Miss Granger!" he said.
Shining sat on a stool by the fire. She is different from Dolby. She doesn't wear any clothes at all. She wears a neat little skirt and blouse~EbookFREE.me~ also wears a matching blue hat on her head. A hole revealing her two big ears.
But, Dobby, who loved the clothes he wore, loved them and was spotlessly clean, as if they were brand new, and Shimmer didn’t care what she was wearing. Her short coat was covered with soup stains and there was a spot on her skirt Scorched.
"Hello, shining." Hermione said.
Shimmering lips shivered, and then burst into tears, tears rolling out of her big brown eyes and spilled on her chest, her crying personality was exactly the same as in the Quidditch World Cup.
Hermione said with a headache: "Sparkle, don't cry."
But Shining cried even more fiercely.
"If you cry again, I will punish you to put your arm in the fireplace to roast." Harry said.
A blink of an eye stopped crying and looked at Harry in fear.
