I added points to my talents at Hogwarts

Chapter 215 Dobby’s Repayment

“So, you’re free now?”

In London, in the room on the second floor of No. 11 Wimpole Street, Westminster, a handsome young man with thick black hair and bright blue eyes was looking at the domesticated child standing in front of him with a timid face. Dobby the Elf

“Yes, yes, dear Mr. Evans.”Dobby stared at his two big eyes like lightbulbs and looked at Ives pitifully – he didn’t know what he had done wrong to make Ives show such a disgusted expression.

It happened during the summer vacation Early in the morning on the first day.

At around six o’clock in the morning, Ives, who had made up his mind to have a good sleep, was pulled out of bed by Mrs. Evans.

Ina asked in a panic:”Aves , did you do those housework?”

“Housework?”The sleepy Ives had no idea what she was talking about. After some explanation, he understood the whole story.

It turned out that when Aina got up early to prepare breakfast for Rosente who was going to work, she was surprised to find , there are three neat breakfasts placed on the dining table in the living room.

Not only that, the garbage in the trash can has also been thrown away, the floor, window glass, sofa and even the dusty fireplace have been cleaned up, and even the garden The lawns inside were also neatly mowed.

This magical scene naturally reminded Aina of her son. She thought it was Ives who got up early in the morning and used magic to finish the housework, and wanted to give her a surprise secretly..

Elvis, who came downstairs in his pajamas, frowned and looked at the tidy living room. He was very sure that he had neither done any housework nor had a problem with night walks.

Looking at the fireplace without even a trace of dust, he suddenly thought One possibility.

After finding an excuse to excuse himself, he returned to the room and tentatively shouted:”Dobby? There was a snap in the air, and a little monster with bat-like ears and a slender nose suddenly appeared in front of him and shouted respectfully:”Mr. Evans, what do you want from me?””

So there was the beginning of the conversation.

Although his guess was correct, Ives was not happy at all. He said helplessly:”Now that you have regained your freedom, what are your plans next?”

“In fact, Dobby had left the Malfoy family a month ago.” When this topic was brought up, Dobby’s big eyes showed a trace of disappointment,”Dobby wants to find a job. Although Dobby likes freedom, he also likes freedom. Work!”

“But although people were willing to offer me a job, they were unwilling to pay house elves. Dobby was introduced by his acquaintance in the Hogwarts kitchen and originally wanted to try his luck with the great Mr. Dumbledore.”

“But Mr. Dumbledore did not let Dobby stay at Hogwarts, but told him that maybe the respected Mr. Evans would provide Dobby with a job!”

While Dobby was explaining, Ivis rubbed his chin and fell into thinking.

When the house elf finished speaking, he said:”In fact, I do have a job here that is vacant, and I am willing to pay you. , I just don’t know if you are willing?”

Considering that starting next semester, including electives, Ives will have to take twelve classes, and taking care of the magical animals in the box will become his burden.

Although Lu Wei and Norbert are very well-behaved, they only need to be taken care of in the morning and evening. Feeding him once was enough, but before he was about to become a busy third grade, it was undoubtedly a joy for him to be able to spread out these trivial but time-consuming chores.

When he heard that there was a job and a salary, he could Hey, tears immediately flowed from Dobby’s big eyes. He excitedly threw himself on Ives, hugged his thigh and kept shouting:”Evans, Mr. Evans, you are such a great wizard!”

Aves pushed his arm and tried to pull him off his lap. He added:”You should take a look at the work content first and then decide whether you want to stay.”

After that, he took Dobby and walked towards his box.

Along the way, Dobby, who assured Ives that he would complete the work well, slumped down the moment he saw Norberta.

“For example, if Mr. Evans wanted the fire dragon to eat Dobby,” Dobby’s legs trembled, but there was determination in his eyes,”Anyway, Dobby was able to regain his freedom because of the great Mr. Evans.……”

“who wants to eat you……”Elvis felt a little tired, wondering when Dobby could get rid of this habit of thinking randomly.

Norberta, who was resting under the shade of a tree, opened her eyes and glanced at Dobby, and snorted a little spark from the tip of her nose with disdain, as if to say that he didn’t look good with his skinny appearance.

After Ives explained the content of his work, Dobby finally returned to normal. He quickly stood at attention and promised that he would complete the task.

After confirming that Dobby wanted to stay, Ives discussed the salary issue with him.

Considering that the job was 24/7, Ives decided to give him four gold galleons per week.

But Dobby didn’t agree with anything. He thought that he only had to prepare food for a few magical animals every morning and evening. It was an easy job and completely unworthy of such a high salary.

He bargained with Ives.

In the end, Dobby’s salary was determined to be five gold galleons per month. In addition to taking care of magical animals, he also had to take on other personal tasks of Ives, including cleaning, just like a servant..

After taking Dobby to get to know Lu Wei and Ollie, Ivis returned to his room and was not sleepy at all.

“It’s finally summer vacation, but I don’t even have a chance to sleep in……”He muttered something and turned to go to the bathroom to wash up.

After breakfast, Ives returned to the box and started studying as planned.

Before leaving school, he asked Fox to bring a note to Dumbledore, asking for a book in the restricted area.——《Reconstruct Your Body”.

This is a notebook on human transfiguration.

Body Transfiguration is an extremely dangerous form of transfiguration that involves transforming the wizard himself.

When wizards cast human body transformation spells on themselves, it would be okay if the transformation failed, but it would just make the part to be transformed become weird, and they could change it back by casting a restoration spell.

However, if the person is not proficient in human body transformation, causing the magic power of the spell to remain in the human body, it will cause irreversible damage to the caster’s body.

Therefore, the book”Reconstruct Your Body” has always been placed in the restricted book section of the Hogwarts library, and is only allowed to be borrowed with the professor’s approval slip.

Ives, who had borrowed a banned book from Dumbledore once, thought of him immediately.

As expected, after receiving the note, Dumbledore asked Fox to bring him”Reconstructing Your Body”. Along with the book, there was a letter that read: In my early years, After looking through this book, the teachings in the boo

k are somewhat general. I have a friend who is very good at body transfiguration and I will ask him for a copy of the notes, but until then, don’t try it on yourself.

Although he wanted to complain about whether the friend Dumbledore was talking about was himself, Ives knew very well that the friend he was talking about was definitely Grindelwald.

In the Second Salem Case, Grindelwald used Transfiguration instead of Polyjuice Potion to disguise himself as Percival Grevy, then Director of Magical Security and Director of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement at the MACUSA. Sri Lanka.

It is unknown when Grindelwald replaced the real Percival, but it must have been no less than a year, which shows how in-depth his research on human transfiguration was.

Ives couldn’t help but look forward to Dumbledore’s promised note.

Time passed while he was reading”Reconstruct Your Body”. After an unknown amount of time, the sound of clattering footsteps came from the stairs at the entrance.

Ives was very familiar with the footsteps. He knew who they were without turning around.

“Good morning, Hermione.”He said hello

“morning.”

Hermione is wearing a sky blue dress today, and she is holding a fat ginger cat in her arms.

“Crookshanks, morning for you too.”Aves continued to greet, and received a lazily response from Crookshanks.

When we parted yesterday, Hermione finally remembered Crookshanks who was placed in a box and took him back.

Putting down the baby in his arms Letting the cat run towards the grassland, Hermione approached Ives and asked curiously:”What are you reading?”

Hearing this, Ives showed her the title of the book.

“That book about body transfiguration?”Hermione frowned and said,”Avis, you have to promise me something.”

“uh-huh?”

“If you want to try human body transformation, you must not hide it from me.”

Avis raised his hand and gently wiped it between Hermione’s frowning eyebrows, trying to smooth away all the girl’s sorrow. He affirmed:”I will.”

Hermione then smiled.

After the warm scene, as the two of them found a place to read, the cabin fell into silence again for a long time.

Listening to the rustling sound of turning books in their ears, Ivis and Hermione didn’t feel embarrassed or lonely at all, and they both liked this way of getting along.

During lunch,

Ina asked with a smile:”Hermione, has your family decided where to go this summer vacation?”

“Egypt or Norway,” Hermione replied after swallowing the food in her mouth,”Didn’t Ives tell you that we still have a few friends who want to go to Egypt to visit, but we haven’t decided yet. We’ll see the end. How many people are going?”

“Then go to Egypt! Aina made a final decision,”Whether your friends are going or not, our two families can go to Egypt together.””

“That’s great!”Hermione agreed excitedly. She moved the seat under her buttocks and moved to Elna’s side, and the two chattered about the itinerary.

Ives squinted his eyes and his eyes moved between the two. He didn’t understand at all. Why did Aina, who was opposed last night, suddenly change her mind?

……

Southwest England, Wiltshire.

A dignified lord’s mansion where the Malfoy family has lived for ten centuries. However, few people know that the Malfoy family is not actually British.

William I was the first Norman king of England and led the Norman Conquest in 1066. After being crowned king, he gave Armand Malfoy a piece of land in Wiltshire to thank Armand for handling gray matters for him.

Armand established Malfoy Manor using the land granted by William I the Conqueror. Descendants of the Malfoy family have lived here ever since.

Over the past thousand years, the Malfoy family has continued to draw wealth and power from the Muggles around them. By the time the International Statute of Secrecy was passed in 1692, the Malfoy family had fully integrated into Muggle upper class society.

Despite vehement denials for generations to come, there is ample evidence that Lucius Malfoy I was an unsuccessful suitor of Elizabeth I. Some wizarding historians believe that the Queen never entered into marriage after that because of a curse cast by a frustrated Malfoy.

The Malfoy family continued to annex surrounding Muggle lands and expand their already large estate. They also successfully dabbled in Muggle currency and assets, becoming one of the richest wizarding families in Britain.

Since the Statute of Secrecy, the Malfoy family has completely cut off ties with Muggles, labeling themselves pure-blood wizards. However, relying on past accumulation and operations, the Malfoy family is still one of the richest families in the British wizarding world.

However, this wealth reached its peak with the rise of the Dark Lord, and then declined with the defeat of the Dark Lord.

In a luxuriously decorated study room in the manor,

Lucius Malfoy picked up the cup and took a sip of the coffee inside. He looked at his son and asked:”Draco, what’s the matter?”

Draco was looking at him. Sitting next to his mother, Narcissa Malfoy, his hair was messed up by Narcissa, then carefully combed by her, over and over again.

Seeing Narcissa’s doting actions, Lucius had a headache.

Blind pampering is definitely not a good way to educate, especially in a family like theirs, not to mention that the Malfoy family now only has an only son.

However, Narcissa is particularly stubborn in this regard. As long as she is present, she will never let Lucius beat or scold her precious son.

“No, it’s nothing,” Draco hesitated,”It’s just that, wasn’t there a new flying broomstick launched in April?”

“You mean Firebolt?”Lucius’ hand holding up the cup froze.

“That’s right.”Draco’s eyes lit up. He thought he would have to explain for a long time.

Lucius slammed the cup on the table, and the coffee liquid splashed out,”Don’t even think about it!”He wanted to scold Draco angrily, but regained his composure after seeing Narcissa’s glare at him.

“I remember, in order to let you join the team last year, I donated seven Nimbus 2001 to Slytherin,” he said slowly,”You promised me that after having seven Nimbus 2001, Slytherin would Lytlin will definitely win the Quidditch Cup……”

“So what can be done? The performance of Avis’s Firebolt is too powerful.”Draco muttered dissatisfiedly.

“well……”Lucius looked at his son with hatred.

“Just buy him one.” Narcissa persuaded.

“That’s it.”With the support of his mother, Draco gradually became more and more unrestrained.

“Sissy, you also know the current situation at home.……”Lucius poured out the bitter water.

Due to the Ministry of Magic’s crackdown on illegal activities last year, he had to sell many precious dark magic items in the manor at a low price. Coupled with the failure of the plan against Dumbledore, the assets of the Malfoy family shrank a lot.

The price of the Firebolt is too expensive and cannot be afforded by the current Malfoy family.

After all, it’s just a broomstick, there’s no need to waste too much money on it
