Chapter 94 House Elves and Goblins (First order requested: 320)

At this moment, Lockhart was on his way back to his office.

Although he was a little disappointed with Dumbledore's performance just now, he could understand it.

After all, he is the headmaster of Hogwarts, the White Devil who has defeated the Dark Lord twice.

It is indeed a bit unrealistic to try to convince the other party with just a few words.

Now even Voldemort's Horcruxes need to be boiled.

Let alone a living person.

Hey, finding a high-quality worker is not easy no matter where you are in the world.

Lockhart was on his way downstairs.

suddenly!

He saw two familiar figures approaching.

Well, it seems they are the Weasley twins.

"Professor, good afternoon."

George and Fred greeted Lockhart in unison.

"George, Fred, don't you have lunch? Why are you coming from the Hufflepuff common room?"

Looking at the direction they were walking in, Lockhart asked curiously.

The twins looked at each other, with a smile on their faces, and said, "Professor, we went to the kitchen just now and have already had lunch."

Hearing the replies from the two men, Lockhart was thoughtful.

He seemed to have some impression that the Hogwarts kitchen seemed to have a group of house elves in it.

After thinking for a while, Lockhart asked: "George, Fred, where is the kitchen?"

The twins looked at each other, and George next to him said somewhat flatteringly: "Professor, tell you if there is any reward?"

Frege, who was next to him, also flattered: "Professor, you are so handsome and rich, you will definitely not be stingy."

"Yes, I heard that Professor Lockhart is the most arrogant professor in Hogwarts."

"Also wrote seven best-selling books."

"."

Lockhart looked at the two of them, listening to the two of them picking him up and praising him, as if he couldn't stop talking without giving him a reward, and the corners of his eyes twitched slightly.

After pondering for a while, he said lightly: "I seem to remember your night last night."

Before Lockhart could finish his words, he immediately changed his words:

"Professor, the kitchen is just down the corridor from the Hufflepuff common room."

"Yes, there is a portrait of a pear over there. Just pick it and you can go in."

"Professor, I still have something to do here. I'll leave first."

With that said, the two of them ran towards the Gryffindor lounge without waiting for Lockhart to reply.

Watching the two people leaving, Lockhart walked towards the Hufflepuff lounge with a smile on his face.

Huh, little guy, I still can’t deal with you two.

Soon, before walking too far, Lockhart saw the images of pears mentioned by the two living treasures. He stepped forward and tried to give them a few clicks.

He took two steps back, and as the image of the pear shook, a door appeared in front of Lockhart.

After pushing the door open, Lockhart saw a large number of house elves inside, busy cooking.

"Professor Lockhart, is there anything we need Harvey to do?"

Lockhart looked down at the wide-eyed house elf with floppy ears and a clean cloth provided by Hogwarts.

"Harvey, I would like to ask, can you send some food to my office regularly every day?" Lockhart asked.

"Of course, Professor." The house elf, Harvey nodded quickly after hearing this.

"Professor, when will Harvey be delivered on time?"

"Just send it to the office in the morning and evening. There is no need for it at noon."

After hearing this, Harvey nodded quickly: "Okay, Professor, is there anything else that Harvey needs to do?"

Seeing this, Lockhart nodded with satisfaction and asked casually, "By the way, Harvey, I'm a little curious, how did you come to Hogwarts?"

After hearing this, Harvey hit his head with his hand and said with pride: "Professor, some of us were donated to Hogwarts by the previous owner, and some of them were born in Hogwarts."

"Being able to serve Hogwarts is the happiest thing we can do."

"If there is anything you need, just ask and Harvey will do it."

Seeing the enthusiasm on Harvey's face, he didn't have any other thoughts in his heart, as if he was willing to give his life for Hogwarts.

Lockhart suddenly recalled the history of house elves he had read in the book, and felt a chill.

In the wizarding world, the fate of losers is usually cruel.

Then, Lockhart shook his head slightly, suppressed this thought in his heart, and asked curiously: "Harvey, does Hogwarts provide you with a salary?"

"Salary?" Harvey asked with some confusion, then showed some hatred and shouted loudly.

"Harvey doesn't need a salary, and the house elves at Hogwarts never need a salary."

"It is our honor to serve Hogwarts."

As he spoke, his head kept hitting the ground with banging sounds, as if he was ashamed that Lockhart mentioned salary.

"Okay, Harvey, stand up and don't hit yourself on the head."

Lockhart, who knew the characteristics of house elves, gave the order directly.

"Okay, Professor."

After hearing Lockhart's order, although Harvey's face was filled with an expression of hatred, he still subconsciously stood up.

Seeing this, Lockhart couldn't help but sigh, the ancient wizard was really cruel.

Wei Wei sighed and asked directly: "Harvey, how is your learning ability?"

Then Lockhart added: "If I gave you a recipe, how long would it take you to learn it?"

Hearing Lockhart's question, Harvey replied loudly: "Professor, Harvey has a strong learning ability."

"What do you want to eat, Professor? Give me a recipe and Harvey can make it in a day at most."

"So, house elves' learning abilities are not too bad."

Lockhart thought to himself.

He remembered that goblins and house elves looked similar and were distantly related by blood.

Based on this reasoning, there shouldn't be much difference in their magical properties?

In this case, if you get the refining method of gold galleons later, then

Lockhart kept thinking in his mind and smiled at Harvey.

Then

Lockhart handed over a thick cookbook of world-famous dishes, and said with a smile: "Harvey, from now on, my food will be cooked according to the recipe every day."

"There are some foods that I have circled above. Make these first and let me taste them first."

"Okay, Professor, I will complete the task according to your instructions." Harvey nodded excitedly when he saw the thick cookbook in front of him.

It is an honor for every house elf to serve the professors of Hogwarts.

The more difficult the task, the happier they are.

Lockhart nodded with satisfaction.

Well, this is to test their learning ability. Only if they have a certain learning ability can they participate in the subsequent plans.

It has nothing to do with enjoying food.

Afterwards, Lockhart briefly chatted for a few words, then left the kitchen and walked to his office.
