Chapter 920: Assist

"Sparkling?"

Harry repeated with confused eyes.

"The house elf who was driven away by Crouch at the World Cup." Hermione didn't even bother to use the honorific statement. It shows how dissatisfied she is with Crouch's approach. "I was reading the Daily Prophet today when I was collecting intelligence. , I found out that Sirius mentioned Crouch’s house elf to prove that Barty Crouch Jr. is still alive. To be honest, I’m a little worried about Shining’s situation..."

"Why are you worried..." Ron was interrupted by Hermione before he could finish.

"When I passed by, I found that the poor house elf had completely collapsed."

Hermione felt sorry for Shining and felt worthless for her.

"Didn't she have been expelled from the house by Crouch?" Ron was even more confused.

"Sparkling still can't forget the man. Anyway, you follow me first." Hermione led the two to the kitchen below the auditorium.

"Then what are you asking Albert for?" Ron didn't forget that Hermione wanted to ask Albert for help at first.

"Dobby told me that Albert is very popular with house elves, and maybe he can help solve Shining's problem."

Because of the domestic elf Liberation Front, Hermione is now almost one of the most unpopular among the house elves. Although they did not drive her out of the kitchen, Hermione can feel that the house elves dislike it. look.

"Albert is very popular with house elves?" Harry thought the house elves were very warm to everyone.

"Yes, it's very popular." Hermione nodded and said, "Albert is very friendly to the house elves. Every Christmas holiday he gives the house elves some Christmas gifts, so many house elves are there for him."

"Give the house elves a Christmas present?"

Although Harry had done it himself, he still felt that Albert was a little... hypocritical.

"Albert has a cat, and sometimes the house elves will take care of it..." Hermione said to herself, "I heard from Dobby that the house elves would help Albert cook the supper alone and send it to the dormitory. Of course, Albert has no prejudice against house elves, and is quite friendly, as caring as he treats his relatives. The Christmas gift is just to express gratitude to the house elves for their usual care."

Hermione really admires Albert. Most wizards never take the house elves seriously. There are very few that can do Albert's. He is even willing to patiently help Hermione write about house elves. Touching stories of living in harmony with wizards to promote friendly relations between the two parties.

The two looked at each other, and to be honest, Albert's treatment at the house-elf made them envious.

"By the way, Albert gave Dobby a job," Hermione said suddenly. Except for Dumbledore, he was the first to do this, knowing that almost no wizard is willing to do this.

"He hired Dobby?" Harry and Ron were surprised.

"What did he hire Dobby for?"

"That guy is really weird," Ron murmured.

"It seems that opening a store in the future requires manpower and can take care of Fred, George and Lee Jordan's lives." Hermione had already learned the whole thing from Dobby, although Albert's salary made Hermione not Too satisfied, but he is at least willing to give Dobby a job, which is a good start.

Some things need to be done step by step, and nothing can be anxious.

"He has everything ready."

Harry thought it was a lot like Albert's way of doing things. Everything was prepared in advance, it was not like a Gryffindor.

At least, many Gryffindor students will not consider these issues in advance.

"Believe me, if Anderson were pure blood, he would have become the object of countless pure blood pursuit, admiration, and envy." Ron seemed to think of something, and laughed at himself: "Even if Malfoy sees it, he will have to bow his head. The flattering type, then, with his abilities and the reputation of pure blood, he will definitely become the Minister of Magic within ten years and become another legend in the magic world."

(The Minister of Magic is elected once every seven years and can be re-elected)

Harry and Hermione looked at Ron in a bit of astonishment.

"Don't look at me like that, Albert is more famous in the magical world than you think." Ron murmured, "It's so famous that even a guy like Malfoy can't help him, even his mother admires him. Fred and George used Albert to persuade our family."

"Does the magic world reject Muggle wizards?" Harry asked suddenly.

"My dad just likes Muggles and hasn't been promoted." Ron murmured. "Although he doesn't care about it, Percy does. That guy is ambitious."

"No matter where it is, it is not uncommon to exclude such situations."

Hermione pushed open the door of the kitchen and took Harry and Ron into the kitchen again. This was the second time they had come to Hogwarts' kitchen.

"Long time no see sir." Dobby hugged Harry tightly.

"Thank you for the Christmas present." Harry barely squeezed a smile on his face, he was still not used to the enthusiasm of house elves.

"How is Sparkle now?" Hermione asked anxiously.

"Not so good. She has been emotionally broken since she learned about Mr. Crouch's death. Recently, she has been crying and drinking. She has not been able to adapt to her identity." Dobby screamed.

"Is it because Sirius forced Sparkle to tell about Barty Crouch Jr.?" Hermione asked warily.

"Hermione?" Harry frowned.

"No, Mr. Black hasn't found Shining before." Dobby shook his head. "However, Professor Dumbledore called Shining over to ask something a while ago."

"Dumbledore?"

The three looked at each other, and followed Dobby to visit Shining. The surrounding house elves avoided them, as if Dobby had some terrible infectious disease.

"She looks okay now." Ron observed Shining for a while and said.

"I just took a tranquilizer for Shining." Dobby said helplessly: "When Mr. Anderson came here for supper with his partner a few days ago, he happened to notice Shining's situation and gave me a large bottle. Tranquilizers and euphorias are sometimes given to Shining when she is emotionally down."

Harry looked at the house elf, and then at Hermione, for a moment and a half, he didn't know what to do. He had no idea what to do.

"Can you use the Forgotten Curse, Hermione, do you know that spell?" Harry took Hermione to the side and muttered softly, "I remember Lockhart was very good at this spell. Maybe we can make Shining forget something that isn't. Very pleasant memory."

"No, although I know the principle of the Forgotten Curse, but..."

Hermione had actually thought about using the Forgetting Curse to make Shining forget Crouch's things, but she felt that she couldn't make her own decisions about this kind of things, otherwise something bad might happen.

Of course, she can't do that.

This is actually the reason why Hermione wanted to find Albert. Perhaps Albert’s charm requires only gentle touches of her shiny head, and then a word to the house elf: If there is nowhere to go, you can come to my house.

Maybe, all the problems can be solved.

In Hermione's opinion, Albert was willing to hire Dobby, and it would certainly not be a problem to accept another house-elf. This is good for both parties. Following Albert, Shining's life will definitely be much better in the future.

"Spark, would you like to follow Albert?"

After hesitating for a long time, Hermione came to Shine and asked in a low voice, "If you want, I'll help you ask Albert. After he graduates from school, he will definitely be willing to have a famous house elf help take care of his daily life. "

Shining raised her head and looked at Hermione in disbelief. Her expression looked a little twisted. She seemed to want to cry, but she couldn't.

"This is a good idea. Mr. Anderson is a good man, and he is still a great stare. He is very good to everyone. He will definitely become a great wizard like Dumbledore in the future." Dobby also thought of Hermione's proposal. Very good, they can all work for Mr. Anderson by then.

"No, Shining don't want it, Shining doesn't want to, Shining will never betray her master." The house elf shook his head frantically.

"Mr. Crouch is no longer your master. He drove you away." Dobby reminded shrillly. "And, he is dead, killed by Peter Pettigrew."

"Shut up Dobby." Shining covered her ears and curled up.

"Do you want to go back to Barty Crouch Jr.?" Harry asked back. "I know Barty Jr. is still alive. He even took my wand and released the Dark Mark at the World Cup. , Now that he has returned to his master, do you plan to follow Voldemort in the future?"

The atmosphere in the kitchen suddenly became very weird, and even a small range of chaos appeared. The name Voldemort still had a strong deterrent to the house elves.

"Harry..."

Under the uneasy gaze of the house-elf, Hermione forcibly pulled Harry out of the kitchen.

"You shouldn't be mentioning the names of mysterious people, you frightened them all." Hermione looked at Harry reproachfully, as if he had done something very excessive just now.

"Is Barty Crouch Jr. really alive?" Ron asked suddenly.

"It seems alive, I heard Sirius say that Barty Jr. is hiding, as if trying to resurrect Voldemort." Harry murmured.

Ron trembled all over, gritted his teeth and said, "Harry, can you not mention this name."

"Don't be like Ron."

Harry finally reluctantly compromised under Ron's gaze.

"Oh, okay." He spread his hands. "They are looking for Barty Crouch Jr., Sirius said that if he can catch Peter, he should be able to find out the specific whereabouts of Barty Crouch Jr. ."

"Can't you ask Anderson for divination?" Ron asked confusedly: "With Anderson's ability, I think he might have a way to find out where Barty Crouch Jr. is hiding. After all, he used to divination for Sirius. Peter's clues will all come true, although they didn't come in handy."

"Don't be too superstitious about Weasley."

Moody, who just came out of the hall, said to the three of them: “If that thing really works, many things in this world can be made easy. Even Dumbledore doesn’t believe in it because he usually doesn’t believe it. allow."

"Is that so?" Harry murmured suspiciously, "But, Anderson is really accurate, even though he charges a lot of gallons for every divination."

Harry didn't know what the other fortunetellers were doing, but Albert Anderson's fortunetelling was indeed very accurate.

As for Professor Trelawney, although the professor had made several predictions, Harry still thought she was a liar from the bottom of his heart.

"I have also heard that he can divination. If Mr. Anderson is really so good, I should suggest Dumbledore to find him for divination." Moody murmured, "At least, don't worry about not finding Peter and Peter Barty Crouch Jr.."

Moody limped away on crutches, looking at this posture as if he was going to talk to Dumbledore about it.

"That...Professor Moody."

Hermione hesitated for a moment, or stepped forward and said, "Can you help me ask Professor Dumbledore and tell him that the house elf Shining has collapsed because of Mr. Crouch's death. The question is whether he can use the Forgetting Curse to help Shining. Forget those unpleasant memories."

Moody stopped, turned his head and stared at Hermione with the potion for a moment, and said in a low voice, "To be honest, this is not a pleasant topic, especially the manipulation of other people's memories. Such things generally make wizards taboo. .If you can’t do that, it’s best not to do that, and if you want to erase the important memory of other individuals in the house elves’ heads, you also need a very powerful forgetting spell. Once used, it will cause the house elves’ brains. Permanent damage."

Hermione's face became unusually pale, and the corners of her mouth twitched and said, "I didn't know it would be like this."

"You need to learn a lot, and I suggest you focus on helping Potter pass the second project." Moody looked up at Harry and said, "The situation is getting a little weird now, you better Learn more ways to protect yourself, don’t go to the battlefield unprepared, it’s easy to lose your life. It’s hard for me to imagine that Dumbledore didn’t teach you these things.”

Under the gaze of the three, Moody limped away with a cane.

"I don't think it's a good idea for you to ask Professor Moody for help." Ron murmured.

Harry also agreed with Ron. Moody's was obviously more interested in the capture of the dark wizard. If she was asked to find out the whereabouts of Barty Jr., Moody would definitely do that.

However, the three of them didn't know that their conversation just now caused a wave of waves in Moody's heart.

Divination?

To be honest, ~www.NovelMTL.com~ Little Batty actually doesn't believe in this deceptive thing.

Even if Barty Jr. got an excellent result in o·w·ls divination back then. No, maybe it was because he got an excellent grade in the divination exam that he knew better what divination was like.

There are actually very few real fortune-tellers, very few, and many of them are liars. Even if they are not liars, their abilities are usually very limited, unable to divination accurate things, and basically get some mysterious and inexplicable things.

Of course, Anderson is really evil, and there must be a reason why Potter and Weasley admire him so much.

That guy is really a scourge.

Little Batty felt that he had to be more vigilant, lest he was exposed because of the divination that day, although he felt that this kind of thing might be extreme.

Sometimes he really wanted to kill that mudblood.

In fact, Barty Jr. was really right.

If Albert wants, Barty Jr. has overturned.
