The Trinity of Harry Potter

Chapter 172 House Elf

Celebrating is a tiring activity.

After the celebration, people have to face the garbage on the floor, the messy room, dragging their exhausted bodies to clean up, and they can't recover for several days.

Kano feels the same way.

Although years of training have made him physically strong, last night's activities still made him feel a little tired.

Maybe it's an illusion when entering a new stage of life?

"…pain."

Fleur twisted twice, half-opened her eyes and muttered.

"Ah? Where does it hurt?"

Kano, who was thinking about life, was drawn back by the smooth touch, and nervously picked up Fleur.

Only then did Furong wake up completely and looked at Kano pitifully: "My whole body hurts."

"Don't you feel any pain?"

Kano shook his head blankly: "Should I be in pain?"

"How can you not feel pain? It's so unfair!" Fleur patted Kano twice in dissatisfaction.

The two of them practiced on the question of whether it hurt or not in a scientific spirit for nearly two hours, and finally stopped due to hunger.

Kreacher had received Fleur's orders and would definitely not be back today. Kano was ordered by Fleur to make breakfast.

When Kano closed the door, he heard Fleur laughing softly hiding under the quilt.

This woman is crazy.

Kano sighed in his heart, but he couldn't help but laugh.

Kano and Fleur skipped class for the first time in their lives. When Gabrielle woke up, she found that her sister had given her to her best friend to take care of her, and she had been rubbed like a big doll for a whole day.

When the two of them appeared in front of her, Gabri complained angrily to her brother-in-law. Kano listened to Gabri's complaints with a guilty conscience. Fleur next to her was smiling and her little hands were always on the soft flesh of his waist.

Rotate up.

The two parted in front of the Beauxbatons carriage, and Carnot saw Madame Maxime's stern gaze projected from a window.

"Kano, you are finally back!"

As soon as Kano returned to the common room, Hermione hurried up, followed by two boys who seemed to be relieved.

"What's wrong? What's the big deal?" Kano was also startled.

"House elves, there are so many house elves in Hogwarts!" Hermione screamed, "This is forced labor!"

Kano said oh, it seemed that the child finally discovered who was responsible for the cooking and cleaning work in the castle.

Hermione thought this was evil and inhumane, so she established the House Elf Rights Promotion Association, determined to liberate all house elves and let them work for money and get days off.

"I'm the president, Harry is the secretary, and Ron is the treasurer." Hermione pointed at the two boys in turn, with demented smiles on their faces like "It's so fun to play house."

"Would you like to join in?"

Kano touched his chin and felt that he should pour some cold water on Hermione.

He snapped his fingers, and Dobby appeared in front of everyone with a snap.

He was wearing the gloves given by Kano on his hands, and he was wearing a set of colorful knitted clothes.

"Mr. Black, you called me?" His big eyes swept around, "Mr. Harry Potter, you are here too. It's great to see you in good health!"

"Dobby, Miss Granger wants to ask you some questions, can you answer her truthfully?" Kano gestured for him to turn to Hermione.

"Of course, Dobby is absolutely honest!"

Kano took the two boys to sit aside, spoke to them in a low voice, and watched Hermione and Dobby chatting from a distance.

"Do you want to know where house elves came from?"

With these words as a prelude, Kano began to tell the news he received from Kreacher.

House elves are not man-made magical creatures, but elves generated by the house itself. Their instinct is to maintain the cleanliness of the house itself.

Although house elves are divided into male and female, they have no ability to reproduce on their own.

When the previous house elf gets old and frail, the house will automatically give birth to the next house elf.

Of course, this is also conditional. The house must be spacious enough, luxurious, old, and most importantly, someone must live in it for a long time, unconsciously escaping magic.

"No wonder we don't have house elves in our family." Ron touched his head, "Our house is too dilapidated."

"Is this where the... character of house elves comes from?" Harry felt that they were indeed pitiful.

"Yes, it's not so much servility as it is their instinct. House elves are born to be loyal to the people in the family who provided magic when they were conceived, and they will also clean up the house like an obsessive-compulsive disorder." Kano said helplessly.

arrive.

"Of course, some elves can surpass their own instincts to a certain extent."

The three boys looked at Dobby who was dancing happily. He was mistreated by the Malfoy family and eventually developed a strong rebellious mentality.

In fact, the magical abilities of house elves are also deeply related to their origins.

Kano once asked Kreacher that since he was able to apparate back from the cave for the first time, why didn't Regulus just apparate and take him there when he wanted to find the cave again?

Kreacher couldn't explain clearly, but he just told Kano that there was a difference between "going home" and leaving.

Combined with the performance in the original book that Dobby was able to apparate in the dungeon of Malfoy Manor, as if he were in a deserted place, Kano came up with a conjecture.

House elves have a deep connection with their houses, and no matter where they are or what magical restrictions they have, they can always "come home".

Likewise, in the house where he was born, he can ignore all magical restrictions and appear in any corner of the house.

But in places that have nothing to do with "home", there is no difference between their apparation ability and that of wizards.

Hermione was still talking to Dobby enthusiastically: "You can judge the Malfoy family, they are no longer your masters."

Dobby's face was tangled: "I am a free elf, and the Malfoy...family...is very, very bad..."

Dobby screamed and rushed towards the chair. Kano grabbed him and stopped him from hitting his head until it bled.

"Calm down, Dobby."

Dobby defended in shame: "I'm just... not used to it yet, I need to adapt."

"I understand, you are a free elf, go back and rest." Kano comforted him and put him on the ground to stand firm.

Dobby saluted everyone and disappeared again.

After Hermione finished talking to Dobby and heard the news about Kano, she couldn't help but feel a little confused.

"They can't actually be considered independent creatures?"

"Yes, attachment and service are their instincts." Kano nodded and admitted, "That's why they love work and hate rest and wages, because these conflict with their instincts."

"Are you giving up?"

Hermione thought for a while, then shook her head.

"Although their nature is like this, they still have their own emotions. I really can't treat them as tools like scissors and rulers."

"At least I want to make their living conditions better."

"If there are house elves like Dobby, they can get my help immediately."

"Even if it's just one."

Kano smiled and took out a small bag: "If you think so, then this is my membership fee."

"Leave it to you, President."
