The Fruit of Surgery

"You actually?" Malfoy glared at Dumbledore, then immediately turned around and prepared to leave. When he saw that the hometown elf Dobby blocked his way, he immediately hit him hard with the cane in his hand, and then walked out of the door angrily.

"Mr. Malfoy." After Malfoy walked out of the room, Shen Fei caught up with Malfoy with the diary, "This should be something you forgot." Shen Fei handed the diary over.

"This is not mine, my thing." Although Malfoy said so, he still took the diary and handed it to the hometown elf Dobby on the side.

After that, he glared at Shen Fei fiercely, and then turned around and left. Malfoy was very unhappy with Shen Fei, the so-called Muggle Studies teacher. Originally, the teacher of this course was just a decoration, but now there has been a lot of changes in this aspect in the English magic world.

This aspect is still thanks to Grindelwald. Before Shen Fei left, he gave Grindelwald a lot of suggestions, one of which was about the problem of newspapers in the magic world. The Daily Prophet was considered to be an official of the Ministry of Magic, so it was not easy to act for the time being.

However, the magic world is not just the Daily Prophet. There are also magazines like The Quibbler. It would not be difficult for Grindelwald to start a new media organization. However, since there is The Quibbler, there is no need to go far away.

In addition, The Quibbler was originally in trouble because its content was always contrary to the mainstream. Grindelwald's move just saved the magazine. Later, the magazine was expanded to mainly report changes in the world of ordinary people, some entertainment content, and serialized novels.

Although it is still not comparable to the Daily Prophet, it has improved a lot compared to the past. After all, there are so many people in the magic world, and there are always people who like these.

In addition to this, Gilderoy, the current professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts at Hogwarts, is also an object that can be used. Although Gilderoy is a liar and his stories are all stolen from other people by magic, he has now become a best-selling novelist in the magic world. Even the Weasleys and Hermione like his books very much. It is entirely possible to promote some ideas through his books.

"Open it and take a look." Dobby took the diary, looked at Shen Fei, and was about to leave with Malfoy, but Shen Fei immediately reminded him to open the diary. After opening the diary, Dobby saw a sock inside, and his expression looked a little excited.

"What are you doing?" Malfoy, who had walked a few steps, felt that the house elf behind him had not caught up, and immediately stopped.

"The master gave me clothes, and Dobby is free." Dobby said to Malfoy holding the very thin sock in the diary.

Compared with Harry taking off his socks and putting them in the diary, Shen Fei's operation is more secure, because Harry's socks are too thick. If Malfoy pays a little attention, he will not only fail to save Dobby, but will hurt him. However, Shen Fei's socks are very thin. Not to mention that the diary is now very dirty, even if it is a normal diary, it may be missed if you don't pay attention.

For Malfoy, even if this diary belongs to Voldemort, he will definitely not take such a dirty diary by himself. Giving it to the elf Dobby can be said to be a sure thing.

"You made me lose a servant." Seeing the socks in Dobby's hand, Malfoy's face changed immediately, and then he pulled out the magic wand from his cane. Home elves are very expensive in the magic world. Except for pure-blood nobles, ordinary wizard families can't afford them. Didn't you see that the Weasley family has no house elves?

The role of house elves is very huge. Because of their talents, most house elves have strong magic power and can use Apparition at will. That is, the Ministry of Magic stipulates that house elves cannot have magic wands, otherwise ordinary magicians may not be able to beat house elves.

Hogwarts has hundreds of house elves, mainly used in the kitchen, Hogwarts' medicine garden, vegetable garden, cultivated land and other places. It is precisely because of these house elves that when Hogwarts students eat, they can just order food here and the food will come there. At the same time, Hogwarts does not need to worry about food, because those things are grown by elves.

It is because of this that almost all magic schools have a large number of house elves.

To purchase a house-elf, one must register with the Ministry of Magic, where there is an institution that specializes in training house-elves. In the past, the humans in the wizarding world had to go through a very difficult war to defeat these powerful elves and take them as slaves.

However, even so, not all elves are slaves. For example, the elves in Gringotts have a place on an equal footing with humans. Except for not being able to own a wand, all other rights are the same.

Now, although some people have proposed to change the attitude towards these elves because the status of house-elves is too low, and even if possible, let them have the same rights as humans, including Hermione, but not many people pay attention to such words.

Just kidding, letting go of the control of these elves, wouldn’t that mean repeating the same mistakes? These people, including Hermione, only saw the pity of house-elves, but did not see their strength.

The reason why the house-elves are like this now is the result of generations of taming.

There are not many records about the war of house-elves in the wizarding world. Perhaps it is too long ago. However, it is known that there were already house-elves when Hogwarts was founded.

"Expelliarmus." Just as Malfoy pointed his magic wand at Shen Fei and walked slowly over, Grindelwald, who appeared at some point, knocked the magic wand out of Malfoy's hand.

It must be said that Grindelwald's magic control is very powerful. This attack only knocked the magic wand away, and did not cause Malfoy any harm. If it were replaced by an ordinary magician, I am afraid that Malfoy himself would be knocked away.

The so-called Expelliarmus is actually just a shock wave emitted by magic, which is similar to fainting. In other words, if the strength in the hand is strong enough in theory, the weapon can be held. Of course, it is only in theory, because Expelliarmus has vibration in addition to shock waves.

"You guys." Malfoy picked up his magic wand and glared at Shen Fei and Grindelwald hatefully. He left without looking back. Under such circumstances, it was impossible for him to let Dobby go back, even if he reported it to the Ministry of Magic.
