Chapter 147 Magic: Master-Servant Contract
Dudley didn't interfere too much, he had seen Ron's unexpected rise, Malfoy's jealousy, and Harry's helplessness in protecting the house elves...
Maybe everyone didn't notice...
but......
But Dudley knew very well that there was a "problem"...
Just from the magic method of the house elf just now, it is not difficult to see!
Its magic power is very powerful...
A gesture of your hand can affect the whole "house"......
and......
The most intuitive one is the chinchilla in my arms...
Dudley knew that the "My Neighbor Totoro" in his arms had brought him an incredible viewing angle.
Originally, it was just a tentative sense to let Totoro get in touch with "magic"...
But... I didn't expect it to perform so well!
Without a doubt!
The magical talent of "My Neighbor Totoro"...
Must be very strong.
Can......
Such an exaggerated magical talent!
When facing the "house elf" that Malfoy looked down upon, he actually showed a "vigilant" look...
This made Dudley quite puzzled...
in memory!
The last time Totoro showed this "form"...
Should still be...
Confront Professor Quirrell from the Defense Against the Dark Arts class inside the "house" in Diagon Alley!
And this time compared with the last time, Totoro's level of vigilance is not much less...
Could it be that......
That one looks, short, skinny...
And the down-and-out house-elf...its real "strength" is very strong?
Or... its level of threat...
As good as Quirrell, the professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts?
Faced with doubts, Dudley wanted to find out!
but......
The "Wizard's Alchemy Codex" from Ollivander's wand shop does not say much about house-elves...
There are only a few words of chat...
[In the long river of magic history...
"Species" like elves are welcomed by wizards...
They have "magic power"...
Born with a strong magical talent....
It's a pity that these elves...
It seems that they don't know how to use "magic" to protect themselves!
This reminds me of an interesting thing...
The miners dug out of the cave, iron ore!
but......
They don't know how to turn iron ore into swords and armor...
It’s really not a good thing for this kind of elf to have magic...]
......
Recalling the records in the Wizard's Alchemy Handbook, Dudley shook his head and suppressed the desire to explore.
A lot of "accidents" happened today!
He needed to return to the Hogwarts dormitory as soon as possible for the next step of research.
"cousin......
If there is nothing else, let's go! "
Harry looked up at Dudley, who was lost in thought, with a puzzled look on his face.
He didn't know what happened to his cousin?
I was still in a state of mind just now...
Turned into thinking...
but......
The cousin who fell into thinking looks really "handsome"...
Harry felt a little envious!
Like...if... I can be as smart and mature as my cousin!
Dudley heard and looked at Harry, but he didn't say much...
keep going...
Leaving the Charms classroom!
After a turn, walk in the direction of the remaining hall.
"Ugh......
etc......"
At this moment, there was a rapid panting sound.
Dudley and Harry stopped in their tracks!
Harry turned around on his own initiative, he looked at the approaching figure trotting behind him and said in doubt:
"Ron...
How did you come! ?
Aren't you with the other little wizards in the class? "
Ron caught up panting... He pressed his hands on his knees for a long while before regaining his calm breath:
"Ugh....
Harry!
How did you leave so quickly...
I... I... almost missed you guys!
Also, don't say anything...
These young wizards in the same class were all attracted by Malfoy in Slytherin next door.
They're also very interested in the 'house-elf'..."
Harry heard this, thoughtfully said:
"So... you were abandoned?"
Ron was stunned:
"Abandoned? Harry what are you talking about?
How could I be abandoned! ? "
Ron puffed out his chest in annoyance and said:
"In my opinion...
They were totally attracted by the novelty of the creature, but this kind of thing doesn't work for me.....
I'm not going to have any sensory changes to Malfoy just because of a house-elf! "
Speaking of this, Ron curled his lips in disdain.
Dudley on the side saw this and said thoughtfully:
"so......
Do you know anything about that house elf that just showed up in class? "
Ron looked at Dudley and explained casually:
"Understood . . . not quite, but my father once told me!
'Monsters' like house elves must rely on the 'master-servant contract'...to survive in the wizarding world..."
Dudley was startled to hear this:
......
Master and servant contract! ?
......
This is a very 'magical' term. I didn't expect... In addition to magic...monsters...in the wizarding world, there is even a kind of 'contract' Products also exist.....
Ron saw that Harry was attracted by his topic!
He subconsciously scratched his red hair and continued:
"Actually, don't you be so 'envious' of Malfoy...
Generally, nobles who can keep these 'house elves' in captivity are not too happy.
Creatures like elves...
If you like freedom and don't like being "bound", even if you sign a master-servant contract...
The Ministry of Magic, where my father often works, also gets a lot of complaints from 'wizards'!
Most of these complaints are related to related cases such as theft...lost.....
In short, getting involved with these elves is definitely not a good thing! ! "
