In fact, he just sneaked into the Slytherin dormitory last night.
It was only the first time for Dobby to enter the school through the main entrance of the castle.
Under Dumbledore's guidance, Dobby now finally had time to carefully look at the castle's environment, instead of being as vigilant as before to avoid being caught by other elves, especially the students who found it difficult to be caught red-handed by Hogwarts.
.
"This is Hogwarts Castle, the magical castle with the most house elves in the UK."
Dumbledore walked quickly in the empty corridor with no one around, while gently introducing Dobby behind him.
"Normally, they don't leave the Hogwarts kitchen during the day. They mostly come out to clean the house at night, look after the stove, collect the students' dirty clothes and iron them... I mean, unlike the magical family
, students rarely come into contact with house elves in Hogwarts, and you will not have to serve around students in the future."
"Yes, Professor Dumbledore, I understand."
Dobby said carefully and sharply, looking at the old wizard with reverence.
"The mistress said before that the sign of a good house elf is that you don't even know it exists, but Dobby has always been clumsy. He often cannot meet the master's requirements and always has to trouble the master to give orders."
Dumbledore was silent for a moment, then suddenly said softly.
"Hogwarts is different, Dobby, that's what your name is," he said. "In this castle, you don't need to guess other people's thoughts. If there is no clear instruction, you must not make your own decisions."
Act accordingly. Especially don't misinterpret or interpret other people's ambiguous words. There are thousands of students in Hogwarts, and you can't cater to everyone."
"Then if the little masters, I mean the students..."
Dobby raised his head in confusion, his big eyes full of confusion.
"Conflicts will also occur among students. While you are helping one party, you may hurt the other party. In today's Hogwarts, staying neutral and being a little slower is actually more important than speed.
quality.”
Dumbledore smiled gently and said unhurriedly.
"Don't worry, you can learn about these things gradually... In short, be careful with the requests made by students."
The school rules of Hogwarts have long been countless times more complicated than the original version.
After a whole school year of trying and adjusting, Dumbledore finally came to a conclusion.
Limited school rules and limited energy cannot deal with a witch who acts wantonly. She can do whatever the law prohibits. This absolutely cannot be applied to Elena. This can only be applied to ordinary students, not to the Fairy Queen or the Third Dark Lord.
.
Elena Kaslana, she should be regarded as an independent and powerful public entity.
As for the powerful and unrestricted public power, another rule applies: law prohibits it without authorization.
While talking, Dumbledore stopped behind a painting with a bowl of fruit.
"Behind this door is the Hogwarts kitchen. In the past, as long as students scratched the pear, it would laugh and turn into a doorknob. However, due to some special circumstances, it is slightly different now.
...Of course, you can teleport directly afterwards, and Hogwarts will not restrict the magic of house elves."
Dumbledore looked at Dobby meaningfully, took out his wand, tapped the edge of the frame, and spoke clearly.
"Albus Dumbledore"
A shallow light flashed around the frame, and it quietly rotated inwards.
Is this... the top magic kitchen in the UK, the holy land of house elves?
Dobby tried hard to suppress the excitement in his heart, walked in quickly, and looked around curiously.
This is a large room with a high ceiling, probably as big as several living rooms in Malfoy Manor put together. There are many gleaming copper pots and basins piled against the surrounding stone walls. There is a large brick building at the other end of the room.
Fireplace. There are four long wooden tables placed not far from the kitchen door, which correspond to the four academic tables in the auditorium above.
Before Dobby could see his surroundings clearly, dozens of house elves suddenly appeared around him.
Unlike the dirty old pillowcase that Dobby wears as "clothes", the house elves at Hogwarts can be said to be the most energetic and clean house elves that Dobby has ever seen in his life.
.
They all smiled, bowed, and curtsied. They all wore the same uniform: a tea towel with the Hogwarts crest printed on it. The tea towel seemed to have been simply processed and wrapped around their bodies like a blanket.
Three house elves hurried over from the other end of the kitchen, holding a large silver tray in their hands. Compared to the large, shiny silver tray, the food and drinks placed on it looked much shabby.
All I got was a cup of warm water and a loaf of baguette that didn't look that delicious.
"I'm sorry, Professor... the chef specifically ordered not to provide milk, snacks and other food before going to bed."
The leading house elf raised his head and looked at Dumbledore, and said respectfully in a sharp voice.
After a slight pause for a few seconds, the house elf looked behind the old man and carefully added in a soft voice.
"If you are not full after dinner and are a little hungry, I can provide you with an extra meal. The chef has not given any additional instructions on this aspect of the dishes. Professor Apokalis has occasionally..."
"Thank you, Burley...but not today"
Dumbledore touched his nose helplessly, trying to maintain his image.
As a 110-year-old wizard, he will not be as greedy as some 108-year-old guys. At least today, when welcoming new employees, Dumbledore still has to try his best to maintain Hogwart.
Principal Ci is dignified.
Besides, that white-haired dumpling is quite vindictive. Who knows if this could be a trap.
Not long ago, Dumbledore still vividly remembers the pitiful scene in which Grindelwald accidentally drank a few glasses of red wine with some spices, causing him to become paralyzed (from the petrifying potion) and allowing him to take injections at his mercy.
"This is Dobby, the house elf of the Malfoy family."
Dumbledore turned sideways and pointed at the elf next to him who was looking around curiously.
"In the next period of time, at least in years, he will join Hogwarts, work with you as a house elf at Hogwarts, and learn from the excellent experience of Hogwarts...
…Burley, I’ll leave it to you and everyone else. If the results are good, more house elves may come to Hogwarts to further their studies.”
"Advanced studies?! Excellent, excellent"
Burleigh, the house elf, was suddenly startled. He raised his head and looked at Dumbledore in disbelief. His green eyes the size of tennis balls were full of shock. He seemed to be under a tongue-stuck spell and couldn't stammer for a long time.
In one sentence.
"Yes, further education! The house elves at Hogwarts are the best, and the wizarding world obviously agrees with this."
Dumbledore smiled and nodded gently, speaking gently to the house elf.
"Now, the Ministry of Magic and various pure-blood families hope to spread the experience of Hogwarts more widely, so they have promoted such a 'House Elf Training Program', and Dobby is the first student... Burley
Sir, are you qualified? Can you show the style of Hogwarts and guide Dobby's subsequent work attentively, kindly and enthusiastically?"
"Of course! Professor Dumbledore, of course! It would be an honor!"
Burleigh, the house elf, said sharply, trying to straighten his back, with tears of excitement flashing in his big eyes.
"Burley will do his best to show Hogwarts the style it should have! Professor! Thank you so much, so, wow, your praise for us is really shameful. We still have a lot of things we haven't done well.
This place... ugh... don't worry!"
Following Dumbledore's voice, there was a commotion among the surrounding elves.
Almost all the house elves looked at Dumbledore with tears in their eyes, looking extremely excited. For them who have been serving students and cleaning the castle in the shadows all year round, this recognition can be regarded as the highest honor in their lives.
The best house elf in the wizarding world!
It's so good that other magic families will send their own elves to learn here.
This was such a high honor that even Burleigh, the head elf at Hogwarts, couldn't control himself at the first moment, let alone the other house elves present.
"Well, I believe in your abilities, so the next step will be left to you..."
Dumbledore said gently, thought for a while, and added something extra.
"Oh, by the way, Miss Chef will not be coming to the kitchen for supervision and guidance recently. She hopes that you can consolidate and sort out what you have learned during this period, and try your best to sort out a copy of Hogwarts House Elf
Code.”
The old wizard's blue eyes stared at Burley, and the little guy who was originally a little nervous gradually calmed down.
His heart suddenly became much calmer, and he was filled with energy and courage again.
"Don't worry, Professor, the Hogwarts house elves will never let you, the chef, down!"
"Very good, then... maybe this welcome is a little late..."
Dumbledore nodded with satisfaction, turned around and looked at the thin, bruised elf behind him.
"Anyway, welcome to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, Dobby."
…………
If Dobby thought that once he joined Hogwarts, he could quickly adapt to the school's rhythm, or clean and work like he did at Malfoy Manor, then he would find out the next day that he was obviously wrong.
After Halloween, classes resume at Hogwarts.
And this also means that the work of the house elves has become busy.
First of all, in the kitchen, in addition to the unified banquet of the festival, in daily life on the Hogwarts campus, according to the crop selection and harvest conditions of each college's "College Personalized Farm", the food on the table of each college
The dishes are constantly being adjusted, and the Hogwarts kitchen has even divided several different groups to share the work.
However, Dobby is different from other house elves. Under Burley's understanding, learning means mastering all the dishes.
House elves have many talent bonuses in cooking. As the "chief cook" of the Malfoy family, Dobby was originally a little confident in this aspect, but when he came into contact with the Hogwarts kitchen, he realized how ignorant he had been before.
.
A very basic pan-fried scallop is enough to prove it all.
Obviously, the qualification standards of the Hogwarts kitchen are very different from those of the Malfoy family.
At the request of the mysterious chef, no scallops that were overcooked or undercooked could be sent to the table in the kitchen front hall, and were sent to Burley and several commentators directly above the students in front of them.
The tasters would be there, deciding the fate of a dish based on their vast experience, and for the first few days, Dobby was frying scallops.
"Dobby, it's too old... This batch is too fried! It tastes like rubber!"
"Oh, hell! What the hell are you doing! Do you want someone to have diarrhea?!"
"Speed, speed up! Are you a troll? Magic, magic!"
Amidst the hellish roar, Dobby grew up at an incredible speed. He finally figured out why Master Draco would rather order the cold takeaway from school than eat what he cooked when he returned home last summer.
food.
Compared with the house elves at Hogwarts, their work attitude was no different from perfunctory.
Dobby has not forgotten his mission at Hogwarts.
In fact, in addition to the Hogwarts kitchen, Dobby also followed other house elves to clean the student dormitories these days, collect dirty clothes, iron them and wash them... Unfortunately, he temporarily
I haven't been to Slytherin yet.
The "Dark Lord's Notes from the Chamber of Secrets" stolen by Draco Malfoy is still missing.
On the other hand, Dobby has always been eager to see Harry Potter, hoping to convey a warning to the "Boy Who Lived" that the Chamber of Secrets may be opened. But in most cases, finding Harry means meeting Harry Potter at the same time.
To Master Draco.
In Dobby's eyes, Master Draco is no less dangerous than Master Lucius.
Perhaps the young master is not yet as ruthless as the master, but they are definitely biological father and son. Whether it is Master Draco or Master Lucius, these two wizards are definitely very bad, very bad dark wizards.
As a house elf serving the Malfoy family, Dobby had long heard about the terrible and evil plan from Lucius Malfoy. He attempted to awaken the man who must not even be named in Hogwarts.
Create terrible disasters.
But what Dobby never expected was that Master Draco actually took the lead and stole the magical book that could open the Hogwarts Chamber of Secrets from him. What was even worse was that the dangerous thing
