Drink Black Tea Calmly at Hogwarts

Hermione, who was holding Zhang Xu, said to him anxiously: "Come to the kitchen with me, something happened to Dobby."

When Zhang Xu heard that something happened to Dobby, his heart skipped a beat.

After saying goodbye to the three professors, Zhang Xu followed Hermione into the kitchen.

Walking into the kitchen, Zhang Xu saw a house elf tied into a rice dumpling and placed on a table. The house elf's head was also tied with a thick bandage.

"I had to tie up Dobby, otherwise I couldn't stop him from hurting himself." Hermione whispered to Zhang Xu, "I know your house burned down, but it was not his fault."

Zhang Xu sighed and said: "I'm not stupid enough to put the responsibility of Death Eaters on Dobby. After all, this was a fire caused by arson by Death Eaters, not an accident like Dobby forgetting to turn off the oven." .”

Walking to the table, Zhang Xu saw Dobby's eyes looking blankly at the ceiling, and his eyes were bloodshot.

Dobby, who heard the footsteps, turned around and saw Zhang Xu. His whole body immediately began to squirm violently, like a leech that had been sprinkled with salt.

Zhang Xu spent a lot of effort to comfort Dobby, who was crawling to the fireplace in an attempt to burn himself to apologize to Zhang Xu, and untied the rope from his body and let him sit on the chair next to the table.

Zhang Xu took out a piece of parchment from the treasure bag and placed it in front of Dobby.

Zhang Xu said to Dobby: "Dobby, this is the labor contract signed between you and me."

After Dobby glanced at his signature at the bottom of the parchment, he said in a low voice: "Yes, Mr. Zhang."

Zhang Xu pointed to the labor contract and said to Dobby: "Look at the 'disclaimer clause' in the second 'work content and location'.

"

Dobby picked up the parchment, looked at the clauses on it with his big, round eyes, and read it word by word: "During the period of work, Party B shall encounter force majeure (such as earthquakes, fires not caused by Party B, Party B will not bear any responsibility for damage to the workplace caused by natural disasters, wars, wizard attacks, etc."

After Dobby finished reading, he raised his head and looked at Zhang Xu in shock.

"Dobby, have you never read the contents of this labor contract?" Zhang Xu frowned and said, "I remember I gave you three days to go to Professor Dumbledore or Harry Understand the contents of the contract.”

Looking at Dobby's face, Zhang Xu realized that the house elf could actually make such colorful expressions on his face.

Zhang Xu knew what Dobby was thinking. Although he was a house elf who was at the forefront of the trend of the times, some traditional house elf ideas still deeply influenced him.

For a slave, if something his master ordered him to take care of is damaged, whether it is caused by the slave or not, the slave will definitely be the one to take the blame.

As for contract workers, you should check what the contract says. If something breaks, see if it counts as force majeure. The train was trampled by Godzilla, and the conductor couldn't be asked to pay for it.

At this point, Dobby couldn't wrap his head around it.

"However, this labor contract will be terminated now." Zhang Xu sighed and said to Dobby.

When Dobby heard that he was about to be fired, he stared at Zhang Xu with big eyes and asked in disbelief: "What happened...Did Dobby do anything wrong?"

Zhang Xu felt that if he didn't explain clearly quickly, Dobby would cry.

Zhang Xu continued pointing to the contract and said: "It is already clear in the contract that your working location is my villa in Hogsmeade. Now that the villa has been burned down, there is no way to work there, so this contract has been terminated."

Zhang Xu signed a contract with Dobby to hire him as a housekeeper in the villa. In addition, Zhang Xu asked Dobby to either ask Dobby for help or to do odd jobs for Dobby.

So Zhang Xu followed the rules and settled this year's salary with Dobby.

Half an hour later, Zhang Xu promised that he would re-hire Dobby when he rebuilt the villa. Only then did Dobby, who was unemployed (?) and crying on the table, calm down.

After comforting Dobby again, Zhang Xu asked him to prepare some lunch for himself. He has missed meals since he came back from "biu" in France.

Dobby is still an employee of Hogwarts, so it makes sense for him to cook for Professor Zhang.

Hermione, who was sitting aside, watched the entire exchange between Zhang Xu and Dobby. Only then did she realize that Zhang Xu and Dobby had signed a labor contract early in the morning.

Hermione pointed to the labor contract still on the table and asked Zhang Xu, "Do you still need this contract?"

"No need." Zhang Xu shook his head and said, "This contract has been terminated and is no longer needed."

"Then I'll do it." Hermione said as she picked up the piece of parchment. "This should be the first labor contract signed between wizards and house elves. It has extraordinary historical significance."

Watching Hermione put away the parchment, Zhang Xu's face felt a little cramped.

After Hermione collected the contract, she found Zhang Xu looking at her and asked curiously: "What's wrong?"

Zhang Xu said to Hermione seriously: "I can think of many years later, Professor Binns told the students in the History of Magic class, 'In 1994, the then agent of the Muggle Studies class at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry The professor, Mr. Zhang Xu, and the house elf Dobby signed the first labor contract between wizards and house elves in history.' Then the students took notes drowsily in their seats, while complaining about Zhang in their hearts. Why did the professor show up at the exam center again?"

After listening to Zhang Xu's words, Hermione laughed so much that she leaned on the table. At this time, Dobby, who came over with a plate of sandwiches and two glasses of pumpkin juice, looked at Hermione confused, wondering why she was laughing so hard.

Zhang Xu picked up a piece of sandwich and said to Hermione: "This kind of thing is really possible. You know, Harry Potter almost became a test center for the history of magic class. It was just the year when the textbooks were being revised, Binns The professor became a ghost. In order to take care of him, Professor Dumbledore continued to use the old textbooks. However, the textbooks will definitely be updated in the future. As Harry's friend, you may also become a test center that will account for at least one point. "

After Zhang Xu finished speaking, while Hermione was laughing so hard, he finished all the sandwiches on the table, leaving only a glass of pumpkin juice and an empty plate for her.

"I'm leaving first. You know I have a lot of things to do." After Zhang Xu said that, he stood up and left, without giving Hermione the slightest chance to ask him about the burning of his villa.

After Zhang Xu left the kitchen, he returned to the dormitory of Yingyuan, and as expected, he was surrounded by a group of Yingyuan students.
