John didn't go to ask Michelle immediately, after all, doing so would be a bit of a provocation.

So it wasn't until the weekend dinner that John told Michelle, Harry and others about his previous night's experience.

As soon as she finished listening, Michelle stood up from her seat excitedly.

"Ah! That kerosene lamp can really catch invisible people!"

John stared and said:

"How do you know Filch was using a kerosene lamp?"

"Because that's what I bought for him!"

As soon as Michelle said this, the expressions of everyone on the scene became weird.

John was speechless and choked.

He had considered many possibilities before.

But I didn't expect that even the concealment-breaking tools in Filch's hands were provided by Michelle.

Isn't this just a scam?

Michelle was completely unaware of the change in the atmosphere at the party and continued to talk excitedly:

"Filch is actually very pitiful. I heard from the seniors in the upper class that he is a squib who cannot use magic.

In order to get a little reward and a place to live, he had to work hard every day and was teased and laughed at by the students in the school.

So, when I have free time, I often help Filch clean the corridors, and then play with Mrs. Norris!

Do you know?

Although Mrs. Lorris looks thin, she feels very good to the touch.

And she is very well-behaved. I only need to give her a small dried fish and she will let me touch it for more than half an hour.

Unlike Professor McGonagall, I obviously gave her a complete set..."

"Ahem——"

John hurriedly coughed a few times and interrupted, "There is no need to talk about Professor McGonagall."

Michelle shut her mouth very obediently.

Harry next to him was obviously more interested in Filch and couldn't wait to ask:

"Squib? What is a squib?"

"That's a kind of person who comes from a wizarding family but doesn't know how to use magic. It's the exact opposite of a Muggle-born wizard."

Hagrid explained, but his mood was a little low.

He didn't like Filch, not at all.

But Filch's experience also reminded him of himself.

Unfortunately, no one at the scene paid attention to his emotions.

John directly waved his hand to stop Harry and Ron who wanted to say something more, and said:

"Okay, Michelle, I understand why Filch let me go. But the question is, why did you give him that broken kerosene lamp?"

Michelle said:

"Because there's a house elf that's been pestering Harry!"

"House elf?"

"Yes, he calls himself Dobby." Ron continued, "He pestered Harry during the summer vacation, and even caused Harry to be warned by the Ministry of Magic not to cast spells outside school!"

"In fact, he said that he was here to save me. He said that something terrible would happen at Hogwarts this year, so he didn't want me to go to Hogwarts. For this reason, he also intercepted the letter I sent to Ron.

!

I suspect he also tampered with the partition wall at King's Cross Station, and now, he may have followed him to Hogwarts!"

Harry frowned and said, "I'm not being alarmist, I always feel like someone else has been in our dormitory these past few days.

Some things, like the smelly socks I changed out of.

Obviously they were still lying under the bed when I left in the morning, but when I came back from get out of class, they were all washed and placed neatly at the head of my bed!

John, do you understand how scary this is?"

Ginny, who was sitting next to Harry, couldn't help but shiver when she heard this, staring blankly at the table full of fried chicken in front of her.

John nodded and said:

"So you gave Filch a broken kerosene lamp and wanted him to capture the house elf?"

"This is actually my own decision," Michelle said aggrievedly, "John, please don't be angry, please. I didn't know that Filch and Mrs. Lorris would use that thing to arrest you."

John didn't speak, just waved his hand to show that he didn't care.

His eyes flicked back and forth between Harry and Ginny.

Compared to Dobby, John felt that Ginny was more likely to be the 'snail girl' who broke into Harry's dormitory.

But what is Ginny's purpose?

It was her love for Harry that finally made her pervert.

Or was it the order given to her by "Tom Riddle's Diary"?

John couldn't understand something.

But at least one thing is certain.

That is, Dobby did send an early warning to Harry as in the original work, and most likely followed him to Hogwarts.

If this is the case, then things will be easy to handle.

After the party, Harry, Michelle and others happily returned to the castle after washing the dishes.

Hagrid also took Fang to patrol the Forbidden Forest.

John was the only one left in the empty cabin.

He sat at the dining table and said with an indifferent expression:

"Dobby, come out."

As soon as he finished speaking, the house elf Dobby suddenly appeared in the hut.

He looked very embarrassed, the pillowcase he was wearing was covered with filth, his eyes the size of tennis balls were filled with tears, and his body was shaking constantly with fear.

"Sha...Master Shafiq..."

As he spoke, Dobby bowed deeply to John, his slender nose touching the carpet.

John rubbed his wand, turned to look at him and said:

"I assume Mr. Malfoy didn't ask you to come, right?"

Hearing this, Duobi shivered even more.

He shook his head quickly, then jumped up unexpectedly, banged his head against the window crazily, and shouted:

"Bad Dobby! Bad Dobby!"

John was unmoved and just watched Dobby hurt himself.

Also watching the show like him was a gray mouse.

That's Ron's pet - Scabbers.

Ron regarded it as very important, almost like family.

But now, Ron had obviously finished eating and forgotten his 'family' here.

John picked up Banban, placed it on the dining table, and fed it a piece of fried chicken.

After Banban finished eating the fried chicken, Dobby's self-mutilation finally ended.

At this moment, he was lying on the ground as if dead, with a bloody hole on his forehead, and blood was constantly flowing out from it.

John took out a bottle of white essence with some disgust and poured it directly on Dobby's wound.

There was only a "chi" sound, and Dobby jumped up from the ground screaming again because of the severe pain.

"Your wound will heal in five minutes. Once it's healed, come back to work for me."

John said expressionlessly, "Do you know what you want to do?"

Dobby's face was covered with tears, snot and blood. Hearing this, he trembled and said:

"Dobby knows, Dobby will clean this place up soon."

"When I want to find you in the future, you'd better appear in front of me immediately, just like this time." John said, "Besides, go and spy on Harry Potter and Ginny Weasley for me.

, if any unusual behavior occurs between the two of them, please notify me immediately, do you understand?"

The water that Dobby had stopped flowing began to flow again.

He stared with big eyes and looked like he wanted to refuse, but in the end he nodded.

John didn't talk any more nonsense to him, just carried Scabbers and left Hagrid's hut.

Dobby is a good helper and can do many things for him.

Most importantly, as a house elf, Dobby could not disobey his orders or reveal his secrets.

John originally planned to do some more education work for Dobby.

It's a pity that the silver snake coin hanging around his neck is emitting high heat.

This was Snape calling him.
