Chapter 136 Ride?
Sensing that the strange house-elf in front of him didn't mean any harm, Harry put away the Batarang, then stared at him silently for a few seconds - he was wearing only an old pillowcase, with holes in his arms and legs. a few holes.
Although the detailed introduction of the house-elf in the book made Harry uncomfortable-any Muggle-born wizard who had not lived in an early wizarding family and received such subtle influence would be the same.
This is a system that is more irreversible than slavery - working in a wizard's family until death, always agreeing and obeying any order of the master, disobeying, even if you just think about it in your heart, you must punish yourself.
But this is another culture after all, and there will naturally be "culture shock" when facing a new culture. *
Just like if the Justice League goes on a mission in the universe and encounters an alien culture that is different from the mainstream values of the earth, it will definitely not interfere-even if it is not possible to "accept" the house elf culture at present, Harley still Will choose "understanding" and "respect".
This vague background knowledge about house-elves can prompt Harry to use an attitude towards Dobby in front of him-for example, a wizard had better not ask house-elves to sit, otherwise they will be forced to punish themselves .They are a very emotional little creature.
"About your warning that I can't compete tomorrow, although I really want to ask why directly." Harry said slowly, carefully picking out neutral words, "But, I have a hunch that you can't tell me. Right? "
Dobby stared wide-eyed, and tears began to fill his eyes, "Harry Potter is indeed as great as the legends say! As smart as he is!"
"Calm down." Harry sighed, "What can you tell me?"
"Dobby really wants to tell Harry Potter! But Dobby...can't!" The elf shook his head vigorously, with a pained expression, and slapped his ears, "Dobby can only say... Tomorrow's game, there is a conspiracy! Dobby only found out about it yesterday, and he came to inform Harry Potter today! As punishment for betraying his master - Dobby has already stuffed his head into the oven ! Dobby wants to protect Harry Potter! She's so great, we can't lose her!"
This made Harry spin around, but she also knew that she probably couldn't ask anything - including who his master was, unless she wanted to see a house-elf spilling blood on her boudoir tonight.
It's just "dangerous", she will naturally act cautiously tomorrow.Moreover, she lived to be 13 years old, when is there no danger?
If her worry about her own life guides all her life, then she might as well ask Uncle Bruce to lock herself in the mansion and not go out.
"Okay, I promise you." Harry shrugged and said to Dobby in a nonchalant tone, "I won't play tomorrow."
Of course she would not do something so sorry to her teammates, but this is the shamelessness of humans compared to house elves-humans will lie.
Dobby really believed it, and froze on the spot, with tears still hanging on his pointed nose, "Really?! Oh——Harry Potter! Dobby is so happy! Dobby will smile and knock himself unconscious against the wall when he goes back Up!"
This scene...hall couldn't help showing a distorted expression, and was about to tell Dobby not to bump into himself, but he disappeared on the spot with a satisfied face in the next second...
Harry could only bless him silently in her heart.
***************
The morning sun hits the face, and it doesn't bring any good mood to Damian who is flying the plane—even though Joe, the co-pilot, closed his eyes and was intoxicated, absorbing the solar energy with all his heart.
It's annoying that Harley even invited Joe.Besides, can't Joe fly?Why not fly by yourself?
"Why don't we go together?" asked Jo foolishly, with innocent blue eyes.
Because right now what I actually want the most is to slip you a kryptonite so you can't go because you're "ill" so Harley can just be "alone" with me?
Damian could only vent these words silently in his heart.
"Come on," Damian said impassively, nodding to the co-pilot's position, "Don't touch anything in the plane!"
"You can't even touch the seat belt?"
Joe must be pulling the strings!
Damian glared at him fiercely, "Yes, you don't need a seat belt anyway, and you won't die if you throw it out."
Joe curled his lips, and followed his father's instructions, fastened his seat belt like a qualified good baby - Damian must be joking.
As expected by Damian, Joe was rambling all the way, very excited——
"Hey, aren't you excited? We're going to watch Harley play! Is this equivalent to our football World Cup? Or the Super Bowl?"
"At that time, the [-] spectators around you will all be wizards! Are you really not afraid at all, Damian? Don't worry, Harry and I will protect you!"
"I don't know if the wizards are allowed to take pictures! I brought Dad's camera! I have to buy a lot of souvenirs, but I don't have the wizard's currency, but Harry will definitely buy it for me!"
Damian responded silently all the way, and Ren Qiao played with his own - it would be good if he didn't eject him, and the button was right at hand.
The plane arrived at Dartmoor smoothly, and stopped at a place specially arranged by wizards for non-wizard audiences. It is said that invisibility spells are used here. Damian saw many common family cars, as well as a helicopter—it seems that he did not Not the only non-wizard family members flying in.
Joe had bounced off the plane, almost floating.
After cumbersome security checks and check-ins, and being forced to endure a kilt-clad and Egyptian cloak waving at them with a stick, Damian and Joe finally made it into the so-called players' camp.
Along the way, Joe kept exaggerating his hopes that only the Man of Steel could twist his neck like this without cervical spondylosis; although Damian was also a little curious, he still showed his due reserve.
These wizards seem to have been asked to use as little magic as possible. Damian saw some families scrambling to set up tents, and some stared at matches with suspicious expressions, while quietly taking out The wand casts a small spell or two.
There are also many wizards who wear weird clothes that they think are normal-for example, a wizard who is at least 50 years old is now wearing a pink women's pajamas, turning a blind eye to the magic officials who are trying to make him change clothes.
In this comparison, he and Joe are really not the most conspicuous.
Damian had already seen Harry in the crowd from a distance. The girl was turning her back to him, discussing something nervously with a group of people.
Damian noticed that Professor Snape, whom he already knew, was also in the group.
The boy subconsciously took a deep breath and felt his heart beat faster. He straightened his collar.
Although he really wanted to pluck his hair, the extra little Qiao beside him had already shouted——
"Harry! Here we come!"
The girl turned her head, her expression was solemn for a second, but she was immediately lit up with a smile when she saw Damian.
Surely not because of seeing Joe!Damian is confident about that.
Damian unconsciously quickened his pace and went to meet him, but he was still not as fast as Xiao Qiao who had superpowers...
"Are you all right?" asked Jo earnestly. "I just heard you say there's trouble."
By the way, this little mixed-race Superman also has super hearing...
Harry was looking at Damian with bright eyes, and was about to say something, but was interrupted by Joe's question.
She smiles regretfully at Damian, who nods (despite wanting to kick Joe badly).
The girl turned to face Joe, and frowned, "We are going to play soon, at two o'clock in the afternoon. But my team uniform was torn, I don't know what kind of magic I used, and I can't restore it at all. And, We have a whole team of brooms that are broken too."
"Our team leader—Professor Smith is coordinating urgently to see if we can borrow a few from the national team, even if it is a model that has been eliminated. Because we didn't bring our own, it is already very difficult to make a broom for the No-Maj Aircraft hidden."
Harley sighed, and continued, "But as for the team uniform, even if I borrow it, the name on the back is not mine. But it doesn't matter. It's good to be able to play."
"Opponent strike?" Damian narrowed his eyes, "Who is your opponent? England?"
"A team member went to inquire about it." Harry pointed to a boy, who raised two fingers and greeted Damian briefly, "but it shouldn't be...Mr. The head of the Athletic Division - seriously, has flashback checked the wands of all the members of the Hogwarts team, not them. Professor Snape also coordinated, so the results of this check cannot be unfair."
"It's not a big deal." Damian snorted, took out his wallet, and threw it to Harry. "What's the most advanced model now? Go buy one temporarily."
Harry stuffed the wallet back to Damian, and smiled helplessly, "It's not that easy, I'm not familiar with England, and I don't even know where to buy a broom. And I have to go to the British Wizarding Bank to change money." , it’s definitely too late—wizard stores don’t accept No-Maj credit cards, even if you have a black card.”
Damian looked at the Potions Professor who was silent at the side, and Snape, who felt Little Wayne's gaze, raised an eyebrow.
This brat expects me to run to Diagon Alley now and buy a broom for Potter girl?Think too much!
"Since it's broken, don't play." Snape coldly repeated his point of view all along.
"Professor Smith and the team members must not eat me."
"Actually...a house elf came to me last night and warned me not to play." Harry paused, and whispered to Professor Snape, "I suspect he did it."
It's too unfair to his team members, and the little elf doesn't seem to be easy to cheat!
"House-elf? What's it like?" Snape asked.
Harry briefly described it.
"All house-elves are what you describe," Snape was very helpless. "I can only guess that he is male, and he is not very old. Do you see any family emblems on him?"
Harry shook his head.
"If it doesn't violate the rules, I don't mind being ridden by you at all." Joe raised his hand to intervene.
What I said...is ambiguous.
Harry, Damian, and even Professor Snape all contorted their faces, looking at him with strange eyes, and Damian's face turned black even more.
"That's not what I meant!" Joe suddenly realized, his ears turned red, "It's not that Harry can really ride me... no, use me?"
It got worse and worse!
"Take me as a broom!" There is no ambiguity now!
"Shut up." Damian said coldly.
The author has something to say:
*Dobby won't engage in Bludger incidents anymore.
*Cultureshock culture shock is also translated into "culture shock".
Harley's approach is different from Hermione's direct "agitation for liberation", and it does not mean that the author has any disagreement or disgust with Hermione's approach.Nuha and Hermione have different personalities.
The reason why Harley chose this approach, as mentioned in the article, was inspired by the way the Justice League treats alien culture.
*Reviewing Ha 2, I found a detail. When Dobby informed the male Ha on Privet Drive, one of the words "some mana Dumbledore doesn't... no decent wizard will..."
So Dobby knew about Horcruxes? ! emmmmm...
