I was Hermione's puppy at Hogwarts

Chapter Seventeen: Abu the House-Elf

Albus Dumbledore finally calmed down the somewhat agitated Defense Against the Dark Arts Professor Demeter, and dragged his tired body back to his office.

Poor Professor Demit was accidentally trampled by a wild boar when he was looking for teaching materials in the Forbidden Forest. After this incident, he had the idea of ​​​​resigning and returning home, but was persuaded by Dumbledore - if he

It's hard to find a successor midway if you leave the job behind.

It took Dumbledore a lot of energy to appease Professor Demit. Now he just wants to go back to the office and rest. But many times, you don't get what you want...

As soon as he entered the door, Dumbledore smelled a fishy smell. Before he could find the source of the fishy smell, a golden-red shadow rushed in front of him, and at the same time, an extremely loud cry sounded:

"Albus Dumbledore!!!"

Fawkes rushed to Dumbledore angrily and wanted an explanation from Dumbledore.

"Why is that little wolf's house so luxurious and my place so simple? I also want a big house with a bathroom!"

Dumbledore:???

You're a phoenix, what kind of bathroom do you want? A phoenix is ​​a walking little sun that cleans itself and never needs a bath. Fawkes's request for a house with a bathroom seemed to Dumbledore just to be troublesome.

Dumbledore deliberately pretended not to understand Fox's words. He secretly wondered in his heart: He had never seen Fox's desire to compare before. What kind of stimulation did he receive today?

In fact, Fox's mentality is very simple. In the past, he was like Dumbledore's only son. Now, Dumbledore has a "second child"! He is no longer the only child, so he takes fairness more seriously.

Dumbledore gradually understood Fox's heart, but he could not change the status quo in a short time. Because he could not build a second house like Lovell for the time being. There were two reasons for this. On the one hand, the traceless expansion spell was not that good.

On the other hand, Fawkes was a phoenix, and Dumbledore thought it needed a cabin made of sycamore wood. In a hurry, where could he get sycamore wood?

At this moment Lovell came over.

After listening to the conversation between Dumbledore and Fawkes, Lovell discovered that there seemed to be a very simple solution.

"How about letting Fox live on the second floor of the cabin? That's also empty."

For Lovell, the first floor is completely sufficient. Even if there is a pursuit of territory, there is no need for unlimited expansion. In fact, wolves will not blindly expand their territory after obtaining sufficient food. The larger the territory, the more

The more effort you put into maintenance, the more you lose in the end.

In Lovell's view, the territory on the second floor is pure negative equity. It is annoying to leave a mark every day, so it is better to give it to Fox. In the eyes of the wolf cub, Fox is definitely a good person, because he just shared it with him

caught prey.

It has a good impression of Fox, the elegant phoenix.

Seeing that the wolf cub graciously gave up half of the house, Dumbledore breathed a sigh of relief. However, there was another obstacle: this house was not made of sycamore wood, and he didn't know if Fawkes could accept it.

"Yes." To Dumbledore's surprise, Fox agreed simply.

So, Dumbledore opened a hole on the second floor of Lovell's cabin for Fawkes to enter and exit, and he also thoughtfully moved Fawkes' sycamore branches in.

Watching Fawkes struggling to squeeze into the hut through the hole, Dumbledore felt helpless - as long as he was happy.

After solving Fawkes' problem, Dumbledore could finally rest.

Professors at Hogwarts live in the castle just like students, but they don't live in dormitories like students. Instead, they have their own single bedrooms. Generally speaking, the bedrooms are connected to the office, and only a few

exception.

Dumbledore's bedroom, like most of the staff, is located above the Headmaster's office.

After "moving" for Fox, it was time for lunch.

But Dumbledore was not in the mood to go to the Great Hall for lunch today, he planned to solve it in the office.

He snapped his fingers, and then there was an explosion in the air, and a strange-looking creature with a heavy smell of oily smoke appeared in Dumbledore's office.

Lovell had never seen such a creature: it was about three feet tall, with very slender arms and legs. In contrast, it had a very large head and a pair of eyes the size of tennis balls, and two

It has big bat-like ears. It is wrapped in a strange-looking robe, which is more like a tea towel than a robe.

As soon as this guy saw Dumbledore, he immediately bowed to him, his pointed nose touching the carpet.

From Dumbledore, Lovell learned that this strange-looking creature was called a "house elf" and was responsible for serving the teachers and students of Hogwarts, washing, cooking and cleaning for them.

Lovell looked at the house elf curiously. After noticing the wolf cub's gaze, the house elf looked towards it. After seeing the wolf cub, even though it was a wolf, the house elf still bowed to it.

, leaving the wolf cub at a loss and not knowing how to respond.

"This is Abu, the house elf of Hogwarts. If you need anything in the future, you can contact him directly. Abu, this is Lovell, he is... a guest staying here temporarily." When introducing the identity of the wolf cub,

, Dumbledore was rarely stuck.

Abu immediately bowed deeply to the wolf cub again, and assured the wolf cub in a high-pitched voice that he would take good care of the wolf cub and do his best to fulfill the wolf cub's reasonable wishes.

The wolf cub only found it novel: realizing his wish? He didn't expect the bad old man to be so generous.

"I want three, no, five grilled steaks, can you do that? Grill them tenderly and make the meat fat enough!"

"Of course, Master! Abu is at your service at any time." Abu bowed slightly, snapped his fingers, and disappeared. Within two seconds, it came back, holding a huge silver tray with steaks on it.

Still sizzling.

Wolf Cub:!

This is amazing! Since I can realize my wish...

Dumbledore saw through Lovell's thoughts immediately.

He coughed dryly and said, "Lovell, Abu is mainly responsible for providing you with three meals a day. Don't make too many outrageous requests. The house elves at Hogwarts have a heavy workload, so don't cause them any trouble."

.”

Although Abu, who was standing aside, deliberately said that he had no problem at all and that Master Lovell's request was not a burden at all, but it was Professor Dumbledore who spoke, and he had no room to comment on Professor Dumbledore's conclusion.

Dumbledore said it has a heavy burden, so it means it has a heavy burden!

"You can enjoy your lunch slowly. I'll go up and rest for a while." After the explanation, Dumbledore left the office with a smile.

He can finally rest.
