Promotion and salary increase start at Hogwarts

Harry almost screamed.

The little monster on the bed had two big bat-like ears and a pair of protruding green eyes as big as tennis balls.

Harry immediately thought that these were the big eyes that had looked at him over the garden hedge that morning.

They stared at each other, and Harry heard Dudley's voice coming from the hall.

"Shall I hold your clothes for you, Mr. and Mrs. Mason?"

The monster slid off the bed and bowed deeply, his slender nose touching the carpet.

Harry noticed that he was wearing something like an old pillowcase, with a few holes cut out for his arms and legs, but all patched up.

"Oh - hello." Harry said unnaturally.

"Harry Potter!" the monster screamed.

"Dobby has always wanted to see you, sir! What an honor it is!"

"Thank you - thank you."

Harry moved against the wall and sat in the chair in front of his desk.

"Who are you?"

"Dobby, sir. My name is Dobby, the house elf Dobby." said the monster.

"Is there any particular reason you're here?"

Harry always felt that this little monster came to him for no good reason. He didn't know what a house elf was, and the little monster spoke in a high-pitched voice. Harry was worried that the Dursleys would hear it.

"Oh, yes, sir,"

Dobby said eagerly, "Dobby came to tell you that Harry Potter cannot return to Hogwarts."

"Tithe what?" Harry was shocked, "But I have to go back - school starts on September 1st. This is the hope of my life. You don't know what kind of life I live here. I don't belong here. I belong to you.

The world belongs to Hogwarts."

"No, no, no!"

said Dobby sharply, shaking his head so hard that his ears crackled.

"Harry Potter must stay in a safe place. If Harry Potter returns to Hogwarts, his life will be in danger."

"Why?" Harry asked in surprise.

"There's a conspiracy, Harry Potter. The scariest things are going to happen at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry this year."

Dobby said in a low voice, suddenly shaking, "Dobby has known about this for months, sir. Harry Potter can't take any chances. He is too important, sir!"

"What terrible thing?" Harry asked immediately, "Who is planning it?"

"I can't say, Harry Potter. Dobby was allowed to remind Harry Potter, but the young master ordered Dobby not to say it."

"Little master? Who is your little master? Is it Ron?"

Harry Potter thought for a long time and felt that he was only a friend from the wizarding family in the true sense.

"No, Harry Potter, the young master does not allow Dobby to reveal his identity."

Harry Potter was a little angry. What did this little monster mean?

"alright!"

Harry shouted, "I don't know who sent you, but no one can stop me from returning to Hogwarts after school starts!"

"Dobby thinks there is no need for Harry Potter to return to Hogwarts, and there are no friends in Hogwarts who will write to Harry Potter."

Dobby said slyly.

"I think this is-"

Harry was about to defend his friend out of habit, but he quickly realized what he was doing.

"Did you intercept my letter?"

Dobby obviously didn't expect Harry to be so quick-witted. He was stunned for a moment and pulled out a thick stack of envelopes from the pillowcase he was wearing. Harry recognized Ron's flamboyant handwriting, and even a kind of scrawling, which seemed to be

Written by Hagrid, the gamekeeper at Hogwarts. Dobby blinked anxiously and looked up at Harry.

"Don't be angry Harry Potter, Dobby was hoping that if Harry Potter thought his friends had forgotten about him, Harry Potter might not want to go back to school, sir!"

Harry was not interested in reading, so he reached out to grab the letter, but Dobby jumped out of the way.

"Harry Potter must first promise Dobby not to return to Hogwarts. Oh, sir, you must not take such a risk! Say you will not go back, sir!"

"No," said Harry angrily, "give me my friend's letter!"

"Then Dobby has no other choice." The elf said sadly. "Dobby is doing this for Harry Potter's good!"

Before Harry could react, Dobby had already rushed to the door, opened it, and quickly ran down to hug him.

"No! This little monster is going to mess up the Dursleys' welcome dinner and then put the blame on me!"
