Hogwarts: Voldemort, don't stop me from studying

The girl walked over and sat on the sofa.

"What are your plans for the holidays?" asked the student next to me.

Everyone started talking about homework, holidays, love triangles and other topics.

Vader, keeping the Disillusionment Charm on, looked around.

Slytherin's common room was located underground, and there was no traceless extension spell to expand the space, so it looked long and low. The walls and ceiling were made of rough stone, and it looked more like a dungeon than a common room.

The round chandelier emitted a green light, which made the room seem even darker and more eerie. Students had to light candles to do their homework.

But the fireplace and table and chairs in the lounge were exquisite, with intricate and delicate carvings that seemed out of place in a room like this.

Through the narrow window, you can vaguely see the dark green lake outside. If the sun is bright, you may be able to see the colorful creatures in the black lake, but today it is only pitch black outside.

He paused to observe for a moment, and felt a slight pulling sensation at his fingertips.

Wade walked in the direction where the force came from and entered an equally dark and damp stone corridor. There were tightly closed wooden doors on both sides of the corridor, which looked more like a prison.

Even Slytherin students wouldn't stay long in such a depressing environment. The corridor was empty, making it even more dead silent.

McGee, who was also in stealth mode, led Wade to a wooden door and stopped, saying softly, "This is the dormitory. McGee is not allowed to enter."

Vader asked, "Is he still in there?"

"Yes." McGee said.

Wade touched the door lock with his wand, heard a "click", then pushed the door open and walked in.

……

After cleaning the room, Dobby was lying under the bed, enduring hunger.

Dobby missed Crabbe and Goyle.

Although his little master hated them now, if those two were there, there would be food everywhere in the dormitory, and even if some was lost, they would not notice it at all.

He estimated the time and felt that his little master would be back soon, so he followed the command "Don't let me see you" and hid himself.

But in a small dormitory, there were very limited places to hide. Dobby couldn't shrink himself and put himself in a jar, so the only place that was spacious was under the bed, where he didn't have to fold himself up.

He counted the time, waiting for the difficult day to pass.

Suddenly, Dobby heard the door open and thought it was his master. Then he heard footsteps and realized something was wrong.

But it couldn't be found, so it still hid under the bed and didn't run out to see what was going on.

But the invaders didn't seem to think so.

The black shoes only stopped at the door for a moment, then walked straight towards the bed where he was hiding, and then stopped.

Someone squatted down and lifted the bed curtain.

"How are you--Dobby?"

Dobby's eyes widened in surprise.

He tried to jump up suddenly, but his head hit the bottom of the bed with a bang, and the pain made him cry.

"Sorry, sorry, I think I scared you."

The man took two steps back to make room for me and said, "What are you doing hiding under the bed? Come out."

Dobby hesitated for a moment, then climbed out from under the bed and stood awkwardly beside the bed, close to the green curtain hanging from the ceiling, as if this would give him a little sense of security.

Of course he knew the student in front of him.

During the summer vacation, Dobby tried to get Harry expelled from school, which got him into big trouble and led to him being locked up by his Muggle relatives.

It was this student and another adult wizard who took Harry Potter away.

Dobby sneaked into the school several times, looking for opportunities to get Harry Potter out of school, and they were often seen together.

Earlier, he had actually heard his name from his master and mistress.

Vid Grey.

He has invented many things at a young age. He is the alchemist Murray's favorite student and Dumbledore has high hopes for him.

The young master Draco Malfoy didn't like him, but he still had to buy the Friends Book he invented. He even secretly bought more than a dozen sets and collected various precious limited editions.

You can also buy a whole set of soft light badges at one time, and change to different styles every day according to your mood.

His master and mistress behaved in the same way and even bought more.

For wizard nobles who value appearance and status, going out without wearing a badge that matches their status is as embarrassing as being naked.

The difference is that they won't use it secretly while cursing the inventor.

How did Vid Grey sneak into this dormitory?

Dobby thought uneasily and looked at the other person secretly.

"I've heard Harry talk about you, Dobby." Wade said gently, "So you are the elf of the Malfoy family? Were your actions several times instructed by your master?"

"of course not!"

Dobby immediately became excited when he heard this:

"Dobby must protect Harry Potter. There is a conspiracy at Hogwarts, and Harry Potter cannot stay here until it happens! Harry Potter must go home! Weed Grey should not stop Dobby!"

One more update

Chapter 196 Free Will

Wade knew that this house-elf was a bit stubborn, so he didn't bother Dobby about Harry Potter's safety. Instead, he asked:

"I heard from Harry that you wanted to be free?"

Dobby's excited expression suddenly froze. He slowly lowered his arms, his big eyes rolling around, looking at Wade in horror.

"Don't be afraid, I won't tell Malfoy." Wade said seriously: "What I want to say is, if you really want to, then I can help you."

"Help... help Dobby?" Dobby sniffed, his voice trembling: "Why, sir? Dobby is a slave. Dobby doesn't know you, and you don't know Dobby."

"why?"

Wade smiled softly and said, "Maybe it's because you are the first house-elf I have ever seen who longs for freedom? Tell me, do you want freedom? Do you want me to help you?"

Dobby clutched the old pillowcase tightly with both hands. His body trembled slightly, and his eyes seemed to tremble as well. After a long time, he finally closed his eyes and said loudly:

"Yes!"

"Dobby longs for freedom! Dobby wants to leave their home forever!"

After he finished speaking, he seemed to be frightened by his own voice. After a moment of silence, he said cautiously and fearfully:

"But...but...the master will not let Dobby go free! Everyone in the house is very careful and won't even hand over a pair of socks to Dobby."

The conditions for a house-elf to gain freedom are both simple and difficult. As long as the master gives him clothes to wear, he can gain freedom.

But clothes thrown on the floor, thrown into the laundry basket, or just taken to be washed by him do not count. Clothes must be expressly given to him for safekeeping or given to him as a gift.

The wizard's inner thoughts determine the direction in which the magic works.

"Don't worry about that. I'll find a way." Wade asked, "Are you willing to trust me?"

Dobby looked up at him for a long moment before he said, "Yes, I believe you."

This was the first wizard who would squat down and talk to him, how could he not believe it?

Wade smiled and said, "Well, before that, please wait patiently. I don't think it will take long..."

Before he finished speaking, he suddenly heard a "gurgling" sound and couldn't help being a little surprised.

Dobby clutched his stomach pitifully.

Wade glanced at the candies and exquisite pastries on the table and understood something. He said in a normal voice, "McGee, could you please bring us some food?"

With a soft "pop" sound, a round tray appeared on the floor.

There was bread, baked potatoes, fried sausages and a large bottle of black tea on the plate.

"Thank you, McGee."

Vader pushed the plate towards Dobby and said, "Eat quickly, Malfoy may be back soon."

"Also, McGee is the elf in charge of the Slytherin common room in the castle. Although your master won't allow him to enter the dormitory, if you need help, you can ask McGee for help, or ask McGee to tell me. He will hear it."

Dobby stared at him blankly, his lips quivering, but he said nothing, and did not touch the steaming food.

"Then I shall be leaving now."

Vader stood up and said with a smile, "Goodbye, Dobby. I hope that when we meet next time, you will be a free elf."

He tapped his wand on his forehead and disappeared from the room.

Dobby heard the sound of footsteps walking out of the dormitory, the wooden door was closed, and then the sound gradually faded away.

……

"Ved Grey is going to help that house-elf gain freedom?"

McGee asked quietly as Vader emerged from the Slytherin common room and walked down the deserted corridor.

"Yes," said Vader, "as you can see, his master was very cruel to him."

"I do not like him."

After a while, McGee suddenly said, "He's weird, like an alien."

Vader asked, "Because he wants freedom?"

"He betrayed his master."

McGee thought about it and felt that this statement was a bit imprecise, so he corrected it:

"He appears to be obeying his master's orders, but in reality he is betraying him. No one will accept such a house-elf! He will become a homeless ghost and wander until he dies!"

"I will." Wade said calmly, "If I don't prepare him for a better life, I won't help him escape from his current environment."

McGee was stunned. He looked at Wade and emphasized again: "Dobby is a bad elf who would betray his master."

"Does McGee think he did something wrong?" Wade asked.
