"Okay! Dobby, I never thought you could be so capable?!"
Lucius Malfoy narrowed his eyes and spoke softly, his voice seemed to be squeezed out from between his teeth.
Not far in front of him, the house elf Dobby stood there in panic, with hopeless and helpless fear on his face. Every word Mr. Malfoy said made his body tremble.
"Little master, little master...Dobby can't disobey the little master's orders..."
Dobby was trembling all over and whispered humbly.
"Damn vile thing!"
boom!
Lucius Malfoy stood up and kicked him several meters away.
The house elf's painful screams echoed in the living room, but this did not ease Lucius's anger at all.
On the contrary, the expression on Lucius Malfoy's face became a bit more ferocious.
The middle-aged man's handsome face was almost distorted, and his eyes were filled with frightening anger. He stepped heavily on Dobby's fingers with his boots, grinding them back and forth, gnashing his teeth and roaring viciously.
"How dare you - how dare - you actually led Draco into my collection room - do you know who left that book?! If Draco is harmed in the slightest, I swear to
You chop it into pieces bit by bit - I dare not let Narcissa know that Draco went to Hogwarts with the Dark Lord's belongings from his student days - "
"The worst thing is, if the Ministry of Magic takes it from Draco... No! I won't allow it!"
Lucius Malfoy kicked Dobby away and walked around the living room several times upset.
Since the fall of Voldemort, Lucius has tried his best to erase the history of the Death Eaters, allowing the Malfoy family to return to the ranks of famous and promising pure-blood wizarding families.
If people discovered that there was some connection between Draco and the "Dark Lord"...
According to the current strictness of the Ministry of Magic, at least one Malfoy will be sent to the Wizarding Prison of Azkaban - it makes no difference whether this person is Draco or himself - this will completely ruin Draco's life.
A bright future.
No matter what, Draco must not be exposed to those darkness.
Lucius Malfoy stamped his feet on the floor and looked at Dobby with a livid face.
"Go to Hogwarts now and get that book back from Draco!"
"Yes Master."
The house elf replied tremblingly.
…………
Hogwarts kitchen.
"Kenaz(fire)——"
The bright light of fire flashed in the air.
With the blessing of the ancient runes "" and the magic power of the three-headed dog Lu Wei, Elena can now freely summon a high temperature of 3,000 degrees Celsius. Most metals in daily life will melt directly at this temperature.
When paper touches it, it will directly sublimate into gas at ultra-high temperatures before melting and burning.
Ghosts cannot touch physical things. The translucent [World] main card in Nick's hand is actually an "accessory" condensed by his own will, which means that he accepted this new contract.
According to ancient Eastern customs, Elena chose to burn the "world" directly to complete the final ritual.
It was only then that the shock appeared on Dumbledore's face.
"As a chef, it makes sense to master some basic fire making and temperature control skills, right?"
As if anticipating Dumbledore's question, Elena dispersed the smoke and dust in the air and said with a smile.
"Don't worry, Mr. Professor, I won't abuse this power——"
"..."
Dumbledore's eyes followed the wisp of smoke for a few seconds and fell into silence.
Unknowingly, this little witch's magical destructive power gradually emerged. If she was given some time to prepare, she should be able to burn down any undefended city just like Grindelwald, right?
The most disturbing thing is that, just like before, everything happened under his attention.
"So, Miss Kaslana, what are your specific plans for the next step?"
Nick, who was almost headless, put away the [World] card in his hand and looked at Elena curiously.
"The first step? Of course, is to comprehensively strengthen the security of Hogwarts -"
Elena replied without hesitation, waving her wand gently in mid-air, and the shadow of the castle appeared.
"The news of the ghost dinner will attract a large number of 'guests', in order to ensure the future teaching of Hogwarts and the research work in the college's urban area - it is an important project outside the castle to study magic and the intersection of science," Elena saw
He glanced at Nick, added, and continued, "Therefore, we have to recruit a special patrol team around the school."
"Inspection team? Is it similar to the Rangers team..."
The almost headless Nick nodded thoughtfully, which is understandable.
In the magical world, ghosts have always been a troublesome problem - it is difficult for the law to restrict the behavior of ghosts. Maybe a small number of ghosts will politely write letters to ask, but a larger group of guys are more accustomed to wandering their own way.
.
"There may be some problems, and Connelly may not let go."
Dumbledore temporarily put aside his uneasiness, frowned, and thought seriously.
"Not to mention that the control of ghosts has always been fully coordinated by the Ministry of Magic. The most important thing is that this is different from the regular recruitment of teaching staff in the school. If Hogwarts establishes a patrol team, it is very likely that the Auror Office will first be attracted.
Opposition - expulsion, persuasion of ghosts all require a certain amount of combat ability, and this is an extremely sensitive matter."
"It's very simple. If the patrol team is all ghosts, there will be no problem. Is that so, Miss Kaslana?"
Nick, who was almost headless, waved his hand indifferently and said in a firm tone.
"If I guess correctly, you should be planning to directly invite the 'Headless Horseman' to settle in the castle and become the ghost patrol team of Hogwarts, responsible for dealing with the possible wave of ghosts and subsequent security, right?"
"Well, the ghost can patrol around the clock, which is a huge advantage."
Elena nodded calmly, turned to look at Dumbledore and explained.
"Mr. Patrick has a very cheerful personality. I think the Headless Horseman will be quite popular in Hogwarts. With the gradual development of the area around the castle, the school also needs a full-time early warning team. On the other hand,
There shouldn't be much objection from the Ministry of Magic. There is a proverb in the ancient East - the dead are the most important."
"Ghost Patrol Team, this is indeed a good way to deal with ghosts..."
Nico Flamel raised his eyebrows with interest and asked curiously.
"In addition to ghosts, if wizards and magical creatures break into Hogwarts in the future, do you plan to continue to set up more patrol teams? This is just the beginning, and Hogwarts will only become more attractive to the outside world.
Come bigger."
As a magical treasure that can turn stones into gold and achieve immortality, the magic stone is no less tempting than ghost dishes.
If it weren't for the strength of Nico Flamel and Dumbledore, many wizards might have chosen to take the risk and break into Hogwarts - and as time goes by, this kind of problem will happen sooner or later.
.
"That's not necessary..."
Elena smiled and waved her hands, and Little Dermao swayed from side to side proudly.
"In fact, we can select some outstanding students among the students to form the 'Hogwarts Disciplinary Committee' to maintain discipline and order - you should have heard of the minor conflicts at the last public trial on the Quidditch pitch...
"
"When adult wizards face adults, well, I mean students who cooperate tacitly, they can't get any advantage at all."
Elena paused for half a second and corrected her statement without changing her expression.
Although she and Grindelwald were indeed trained according to military standards, this kind of thing must not be admitted.
Whether it is a three-three system, a five-person team, or a large-scale magic confrontation... let alone those wizards who have neglected their studies after graduation, even the Aurors of the Ministry of Magic may be killed by a wave of focused fire. The only thing that can
The only way to crack this tactic is to rely on top combat power. Unfortunately, top combat power is also the strongest part of Hogwarts.
"Besides, there are nearly a thousand house elves in Hogwarts."
Elena said meaningfully, opening her arms and looking around at the cooking stations.
"Compared to wizards, they have unique advantages in fast spell casting, precise magic, and street fighting. Before the students have fully grown up, house elves can temporarily fill some of the vacancies in this area..."
"You're going to train a house elf? That's absolutely not okay!"
At this moment, Nico Flamel frowned and said firmly.
"What if it is aimed at non-human beings, magical animals? Non-aggressive, expulsion, warning... I generally understand what the problem you are worried about, but in my opinion, this does not constitute a sufficient threat and
reason."
Elena shrugged her shoulders and said disapprovingly.
"At least in today's Hogwarts, it's impossible for them to have any bad intentions."
Just like the difference in strength between wizards and wizards, there is also a difference in strength between house elves.
Perhaps in terms of phantom movement, object manipulation, and household magic, house elves that can successfully survive to adulthood generally have quite good strength, but this does not mean that each of them has extremely strong combat abilities.
If we must make a comparison, Dobby's combat power in the original book is equivalent to the house elf version of Snape.
Even if they are not the top group, they are at least the "hero units" that can touch the ceiling.
Unfortunately, because she has changed so many plots, there is currently no way to contact this special "twenty-five-year-old" house elf of the Malfoy family in advance, and we can only wait for Draco to inherit the family business and consider it separately.
.
"I don't think there is any problem with the Ghost Patrol Team and the Student Conduct Committee..."
Nico Flamel said calmly, paused for half a second, and then shook his head.
"However, I don't agree with the house elves - in fact, I think even for now, their participation is a bit too high. In the long run, this may be an extremely dangerous risk."
Nico Flamel still adheres to his idea, and there has never been an elf in his laboratory.
Even though Nico knew in his heart that having a house elf would be of great help to him and his wife in their daily lives and experiments, the couple still adhered to the ancient tradition for so many years.
However, no non-human being is allowed to participate in any field of magic research.
"Okay, what's your opinion, Professor Dumbledore?"
Elena turned her head and looked at Albus Dumbledore sitting on the other side.
Due to the special nature of the Philosopher's Stone, she was not particularly surprised: if the house elves were allowed to master this knowledge, then humans would most likely fall into a tragic war - which would even be more terrifying than a biochemical laboratory in the non-magical world.
.
However, she didn't think Nico's concerns applied to the rapidly developing Hogwarts.
Let alone a house elf, even a wizard needs a lot of energy, and only the best can barely participate in the civilizational transformation process of [Science-Magic], but only she knows the future potential.
Compared with the possible risks, the labor force of house elves is too tempting.
As the Goblin Queen of Gringotts Wizarding Bank, Elena is very aware of an extremely fatal and critical loophole in the "Red Ghost" theory in the magical world - the fastest way to eliminate exploitation is not moral evolution, but the transfer of objects of exploitation.
.
There are nearly a thousand house elves in Hogwarts who are just doing cooking and cleaning, which is too wasteful.
Fortunately, this is Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, not Flamel's alchemy laboratory.
"As for the ghost patrol, you can let Sir Nicholas try to invite them first."
Dumbledore pondered for a few seconds, then said softly after considering it.
"If Mr. Patrick and others are willing to stay, then the subsequent arrangements and work will not be a problem - the Ministry of Magic will not care too much about this, and the reason for the 'ghost dishes' is also very good. Except for Miss Kaslana,
The other three potion professors can also organize and improve the theory in this area... This is a very reasonable thing."
"As for the Hogwarts Student Conduct Committee, this will continue to be piloted on a small scale for the time being..."
Dumbledore glanced at Elena, smiled calmly, and said.
"Miss Hannah Abbott, Miss Hermione Granger, and Miss Luna Lovegood, I think these three ladies can serve as early pilots respectively. At the end of the semester, they will be led by the dean and professor.
We judge the effectiveness of the pilot - for specific standards, I will temporarily consider mainly referring to the number of conflicts and the resolution of emergencies this semester."
