The notice in the foyer had a clear impact on the school—it told all students that the Tournament was no longer just what they said, but that it was coming.

Felix woke up on Friday night and early Saturday morning, pushing open the office door in his pajamas.

The corridor was pitch-black, and no light could be seen. With the help of the dim moonlight, several small figures were stacked together to form a crooked and eerie figure-they were the house-elves in the castle.

"Need help?" Felix said, approaching quietly, within two feet of them.

"what--"

A suppressed scream was choked out in his throat, and the three house-elves were about to fall. Felix hurriedly reached out and helped them. This is an interesting scene -

The house elf on top greeted respectfully, holding various cleaning tools in his hand: "Hello, Mr. Haip!"

"You too, Yunbo." Felix replied.

The house elf in the middle covered the mouth of the elf at the bottom, preventing him from screaming, and while trying to salute, Uncle Yun hurriedly patted his head and jumped down from a height. The elf in the middle followed suit. Finally, the three of them bowed together.

"I heard movement...what are you doing—cleaning up the portrait?"

Felix looked at the rag and brush in Yunbo's hand, and there was a large bottle stacked in the corner, the writing on it gleamed in the dark, it was "Mrs. Scholl Brand Universal Magic Stain Remover".

"And the armor in the castle... sir! We're going to clean them up so that guests can feel the charm of Hogwarts! Mr. Hepp!" Yunbo said.

"Well," Felix nodded, and he asked curiously, "I didn't see you holding a lamp, so you work in the dark like this?"

"We're all used to it, sir!" The little elf named Yunbo replied, proudly saying, "Our eyesight is very good, and we can see things clearly with just a little light."

"Is that so?" Felix didn't know, and the introduction about house-elves wouldn't mention these things. "But it will be more convenient if you use a magic lamp. I remember that the school purchased a large number of..."

"Yes, the kitchen has been replaced with the latest, very large magic lamp, which is bigger than Uncle Yun!" Uncle Yun stretched out his slender hand to describe the lamp in the kitchen, "The other companions are all Very interested, and Dobby—"

The elf next to him touched Uncle Yun with his arm, Uncle Yun opened his mouth and stopped talking.

"What's the matter? Dobby is also my employee, is there anything I don't know about?" Felix asked. Dobby would come over at the beginning of every month to report on the company's progress.

The little elf in the middle said respectfully, "No, sir. Dobie is... very good, and I gave some small magic lamps the size of a palm to the kitchen, which is very convenient..."

Felix smiled and said, "It's definitely not what you want to say, we can talk."

"Sir, Kaka is not a talkative little elf. The owner died ten years ago. He had no descendants, so he contributed Kaka to Hogwarts... Kaka has always served the master's family..." The one called " Kaka" the elf bowed deeply and replied.

Felix listened quietly, knowing that there must be something behind.

"Kaka is very proud, whether at the master's house or at Hogwarts... always doing his part, but, but..." Kaka's eyes widened, "Dobby! He is spreading dangerous Thoughts, some people who are not strong enough have already moved, this is not a good sign, he will bring bad luck to the entire ethnic group..."

"What did he do?" Felix asked.

Kaka lowered his head, Yun Bo interjected: "Dobby didn't do anything, he just introduced his new life, he..." The house elf hesitantly said: "He puts himself on the same level as a wizard, Speaking of who I met today... Who will I meet tomorrow, the key is that he still has some companions under his control, and he is in charge..."

"What's wrong with that? I told him to do it."

"Sir, Mr. Hepp!" said the elf named Kaka, "that is not a gift, but the beginning of bad luck, he has a power that does not belong to him, and this power continues to expand..."

Felix gave Yun Bo a look, because the tacit understanding he cultivated in the kitchen often went to the kitchen for supper, so Yun Bo understood, he pulled Kaka away, and said sharply: "Let's go first, sir, there is still work. It must be done! It must be done before dawn!"

Felix returned to the office and sat for a while when there was a knock on the door, and Uncle Yun came in through the crack of the door.

"Please sit down, Uncle Yun."

"Oh, thank you, Mr. Haipu!" Yun Bo said excitedly, and he sat down against the sofa.

A cup of tea attached to the saucer flew towards him, and even though the same scene had happened more than once, he was still very uncomfortable, and the cup and saucer made a sound.

Felix smiled and said, "Yun Bo, you know, I need a neutral perspective on the whole thing, and you are the most suitable person."

"Yes, sir," Yunbo replied, and he thought about it for a while before he said respectfully, "Kaka and Dobby, they are very different... Kaka is an old-fashioned elf who used to be only for The master serves, but the wizard has no heirs or heirs, he donated his property to Hogwarts in his will, and Kaka also came... He has always been proud of his identity."

Felix nodded.

"Kaka is traditional. Even among the more than 100 house-elves in the kitchen, he is considered an old-fashioned group, while Dobby is just the opposite. Some of his views... are very novel..."

"Accept the reward, or pursue freedom?"

Uncle Yun trembled and said tremblingly: "All, sir, all... He once said bad things about his former master, but it wasn't really bad, it all happened... But Kaka thinks he doesn't Loyalty, they had a fight..."

Felix nodded slightly, "Then what?"

"After that... Dobby didn't talk much about the past, he liked the present. Every time he came over, he would bring some gifts, and some elves accepted them, but Kaka firmly refused! There are still other elves like him. No, they are all older..."

"Dobby introduced us to life outside, his own work and work. He also said that he found some wild and wandering elves and provided them with work. They are also free like him."

When it came to freedom, Uncle Yun shivered fiercely.

Felix smiled: "I asked him to find some companions. It seems that he has done a good job."

Uncle Yun gave him a careful look and asked cautiously, "Sir, what do you think?"

"Me?" Felix shook his head, "Go with the flow, it always takes a while to observe new things, maybe it makes you uncomfortable, but after a few decades, it may become a part of the 'future world' company The backbone."

Uncle Yun looked at him in confusion.

Felix said: "Do you know Ilvermorny? Its founder, Aesop Ther, had a deep friendship with a goblin named William, and there are still many goblins working in the school today, isn't it a bit Like the house-elves at Hogwarts? The difference is that the Aesop Ther family and William's goblin family are more equal, and even have a protection treaty - the goblins protect the students."

"You know, this is a very rare thing. Goblins don't like humans very much. On the contrary, they love to play tricks on people. They have a very high ability to act alone, and have many tricks... This history is talked about by many people."

"When Ilvermorny School of Witchcraft and Wizardry was weak, it was William and his goblin family who protected the students in the school, but today, hundreds of years later, the situation is reversed, and it is Ilvermorny who protects the goblin family. , undisturbed by the outside world... and the goblins of Ilvermorny, despite their complaints, insisting that they are only fulfilling an ancient agreement, are still mysteriously haunting the school..."

...

The next day, when the students woke up, they were astonished to find that the castle was completely new, the portraits had been scrubbed clean, and the armor suddenly became shiny. Stepping on the trap in the spiral staircase, one leg got stuck in the gap.

The armor next to him panted and laughed at him, Ron punched it, and the armor spat out a few blue bubbles.

"Bah!" said Ron. "The smell of detergent!"

In the afternoon, Hermione went to the library again, and as a last resort, Harry and Ron pulled Neville to experience an underground palace adventure in classroom 7, accompanied by the young Felix Hepp.

When Harry questioned how there was a tavern in the underground palace, a group of Aurors suddenly rushed in and started a war with the dark wizard in the tavern, and the three of them ran away all the way to Chiyu.

"This is a black market in disguise, and the code on the door is the proof." Felix Hepp's memory followed behind.

They fled to a secret room full of irascible golden snitches. Without them to catch them, these golden snitches took the initiative to pounce on them. Each of them was cast with a fire spell, specifically staring at their exposed skin.

The three of them moved out of the secret room step by step, holding the Iron Armor Curse, and grinned from being scalded. The only consolation is that Felix Hepp's memory taught them the "Humanoid Charm"...

In the evening, all the selected students were called to the vice-principal's office, and Professor McGonagall spent two hours giving them etiquette training. As Harry lay in bed, he could hear Ron's sleep talk—

"Damn Snitch, stay away from me..."

The next Sunday morning, after breakfast, the students wandered around the castle like sleepwalkers, until a special bell rang and they gathered from all over to the foyer next to the castle auditorium—

"Line up! According to the academy..." Filch, wearing a moldy suit, shouted hoarsely. He suddenly grabbed a little wizard and said viciously, "You! Where's your school uniform!"

The little wizard was a little hysterical, and ran away screaming.

The students lined up in long queues by grade, and were led out of the castle by their respective deans, scanning the empty grounds excitedly.

"coming!"

The sharp-eyed student cried. The students and professors squinted their eyes, the air suddenly burned violently, a cluster of bright flames appeared, and the flames pulled out strips of slender flame tongues, forming a flower with four petals, each of which was imprinted with a kind of magic. animal.

"Cough! Is there anyone on the other side?" a voice said in the flames.

"Ai Gilbert," Dumbledore, who was standing in the front row, said gently: "The school has temporarily lifted the ban, and you can come over."

"That's good... I'm afraid I got the wrong position..." The voice disappeared.

The students stared, and for a while, a hand suddenly came out, carrying a box, and soon revealed a round, somewhat honest face, that was a young student. He wears a robe in a combination of blue and cranberry, with a golden, intricate knot tied around his chest.

When he saw the black Hogwarts students and professors, he was startled and scratched his head, "Uh, hello, my name is Byers, Byers Bach."
