Chapter 128 House elves are all stubborn
Bale walked back to the Ravenclaw common room with a figure-footed step and humming a tune.
"Fei~na~! Do you miss me, your master?"
Bell found Fina sleeping comfortably on the sofa in a corner of the lounge.
"Ouch~!"
Fina launched a serious protest against her unscrupulous owner who disturbed her sleep.
"That's it, you miss me so much, Fina is so good!"
Ignoring Fina's resentful look, Bell held it in his arms and started to stroke it comfortably.
It’s so fun to pet a cat!
It's Sunday and there aren't many people in the lounge. Only some senior seniors had to study hard on weekends because of the upcoming wizard exam, and had no time to rest.
The little wizards in the lower grades were either sleeping in their dormitories or running outside to play in the snow.
Bell tapped the ground with his toes, and an illusion barrier surrounded him.
The images and sounds in the barrier will not be transmitted outside. No matter what Bell does in the barrier, people outside can only see him quietly petting the cat.
"Lim~!"
"Master, what are your orders?"
As always, Lim appeared in front of Bell the first time he called.
"I don't want to go to the auditorium for lunch today. Please prepare some lunch for me."
Bell ordered lazily.
"Okay, Master. Do you have any requirements for lunch?"
Lim asked respectfully.
"It's nothing, as long as there is meat to eat, you can make arrangements for the rest."
"Okay, Master."
"Also, you go to the workshop at home and get a pair of earrings. I want a women's model, a more exquisite one, one for predicting danger, and one for iron armor."
This pair of earrings was given to Senior Penello by Bell.
The senior sister was usually very good to him. She personally informed him of some of the college's arrangements. Otherwise, Bell would have been called to Professor Flitwick's office many times.
"Okay, Master, I will get it for you in the afternoon."
Lim glanced at his young master's ear and left hand.
"Do you want me to bring you some accessories?"
"……All right."
Bell thought for a while and decided to just give Hermione the few accessories except Ten Thousand Snakes. After all, who knows if anything outrageous will happen in Hogwarts in the future? It's better to let the little witch wear self-defense all the time.
"Remember that the style must be the same as before. Especially the earrings, they must be completely and 100% identical!"
After Lim's reminder, Bell suddenly remembered something very important!
The accessories he wears are matched with those of his sister. Especially the earrings, a pair carefully selected by Shanna, and then worn on Shanna and him, one on the left and the other on the right.
What if Shanna knew that he gave the jewelry to others casually. God knows how long the little girl will have a tantrum.
Just imagining the loss on his sister's face made Bell feel heartbroken.
But Bell just couldn't open his mouth to get back what he had just given to Hermione! So I can only work hard for Lim.
Bell quietly apologized to Lim in his heart.
"Okay, Master. Do you have any other instructions?"
Lim has long been accustomed to the bizarre requests his young master makes from time to time.
As a qualified housekeeper, you must be able to fulfill any wish of your master!
Bell looked at Lim strangely. I wonder if it was his imagination, but he seemed to have seen a flash of fire in Lim's eyes just now?
"One last thing. I hope you can mobilize the other house elves in Hogwarts to help me observe all the little wizards in Hogwarts to see if anyone has been acting strangely recently. Can it be done?”
Although based on the principle of respecting elders, Bell did not intend to take action against the basilisk. But that doesn't mean Bell won't do anything.
At least it would be harmless to confirm the identity of the so-called Slytherin heir and keep abreast of his movements.
"No problem, please leave it to me, Master!"
Lim immediately patted his chest and assured Bell.
The more and more difficult tasks she has, the more she can prove her worth!
Not to mention that this task is actually not that difficult.
"You may not know, Master. Ever since Master, you decided to take in a large number of house elves, the reputation of our Menethil family among the house elves has been increasing day by day. House elves working in Hogwarts, everyone We all admire you. Now that I have the opportunity to serve you, young master, I believe everyone will be very happy."
Lim proudly explained.
"Yes...really? Ha...haha..."
Hearing Lim's words, Bell felt a little embarrassed.
He obviously wanted more house elves to work for his family. As a result, when it came to Lim's mouth, it turned out that he kindly took in the house elves! ?
What a bunch of cute little guys.
"Yes, Master! Then I will prepare lunch for you first."
Lim bowed again and disappeared. Bell was left smiling awkwardly.
…
Lim moved faster than Bell expected. Before dinner, Lim appeared in front of Bell with a few accessories.
Seeing Lim in front of him, who was still panting slightly, and the magic power fluctuations in his body had obviously weakened a lot, Bell scolded him with some distress.
"Lim! You don't need to be in such a hurry. You consume so much magic power, and it's too dangerous to apparate over long distances continuously! At least you should wait until your magic power recovers before apparating back!"
"I'm so sorry, Master! Lim didn't even consider that the jewelry might be damaged due to the failure of Apparition! Lim is so brainless!"
Lim said regretfully.
"..."
(Д`)
Bell discovers that maybe the house elves are his natural enemies? At least when he was talking to other people, he had never been so shocked that he was speechless like now.
(Mainly because Bell didn’t talk to others much.)
But when he talked to the house elves, he was often criticized for doubting his life...
"Ahem...well...just realize your mistake. Forget it this time, be careful next time."
There is no way! Bell really doesn't know how to answer Lim's words!
I don’t know how many times I have said what I should have said. But Lim always said, 'Young Master is right! ’ and do the same next time.
So Bell is also very desperate!
"Yes, Master! You are so kind! You actually forgive Lim's mistakes like this! But Lim can't just forgive himself so easily! Lim will punish himself later!"
Lim said firmly as he wiped the tears from his eyes.
