Hogwarts professor in Marvel
Page 104
Although I don’t know why Lockhart would buy a house-elf on his own?
But he obviously didn't have that curiosity.
This time he gained a lot.
The lost potion ingredients alone are worth going back and studying carefully.
...........
After a while, the Goblin Can seemed to have received some information and said to Lockhart in a flattering manner: "Professor Lockhart, the Avery family is about to arrive."
"The house-elf handover ceremony will begin soon."
As he spoke, Lockhart saw a middle-aged man in a black wizard robe walking towards him from a distance, and behind him was the house-elf he had seen on the magic projection before.
Seeing this, the Goblin Can immediately came forward and Lockhart stood up from the sofa.
"Hello, Professor Lockhart, my name is Hanson Avery."
Hanson Avery was in a somewhat embarrassed state. His family was in decline, and he had no choice but to sell the house-elf that had been inherited from the family. This was a scandal for the pure-blood Avery family.
Especially since the other party was a professor at Hogwarts and his son was studying in Slytherin College, which made him feel even more embarrassed.
However, Lockhart did not think much about it. He gently shook the other person's hand very naturally, then put it down and spoke gently.
"Mr. Avery, let's begin the ceremony."
"Okay!" Hansen Avery nodded, and then ordered the timid house elf next to him: "Gold Coin, stand in the middle."
The house-elf Gold, dressed in rags, seemed to know his fate and walked unsteadily between Lockhart and Hanson Avery.
He looked at his future master Lockhart, and then looked at his current master, his eyes revealing confusion and panic.
"Gold Coin, from now on, you are no longer the house elf of the Avery family."
"Your master will be Professor Gilderoy Lockhart."
"According to the ritual, you cannot reveal any secrets about the Avery family. Other than that, all orders must be obeyed by Professor Lockhart. The Avery family has nothing to do with you anymore."
"Professor Gilderoy Lockhart will be your only master."
As he spoke, Hansen Avery handed out a pair of black socks and ordered indifferently: "Now, hand it to your current owner."
"Okay... Master." The house-elf Gold Coin looked lost, and took the black socks from his former master with trembling arms.
Then he walked towards Lockhart step by step and handed the black socks in his hand to its current owner, Gilderoy Lockhart.
Lockhart, who knew about the handover ceremony in advance, took it naturally, and then put it into another empty space extension bag with some disgust like a sock.
He was full of desire to complain about this ceremony.
When the owner gives the house-elf socks, it means freedom for the house-elf.
And when the house-elf hands the socks to others, it represents submission.
It's a bit of a joke, but this is a tradition formed by the house-elves after years of enslavement. It is engraved in their bones and has become their instinct.
One cannot help but sigh that the ancient wizards were truly ruthless, able to turn such a bizarre ritual into a tradition of house-elves.
What exactly did the house-elves do back then that angered the heavens and the people?
It actually made the ancient wizard do such a thing.
After years of deliberate cultivation, this seemingly childish behavior has become a tradition of house-elves and is engraved in their bones.
Hansen Avery let out a sigh of relief when he saw Lockhart put away his socks.
The ceremony was over, which meant that the more than 1000 gold Galleons in his pocket were finally safe. This money was a life-saving straw for the Everly family.
You know, in his family, besides him, only his son is a wizard, and all the others are Squibs, and his son is currently studying in Slytherin College.
However, when Hansen Avery thought of Lockhart's identity, he hesitated, but still said, "Professor Lockhart, my son Anthony Avery is currently studying in Slytherin College."
"Please help take care of it."
As he spoke, he reached out and a dark purple magic book appeared in his hand, which he handed to Lockhart.
"Professor Lockhart, I heard from my son that you like reading. This is a magic book inherited from our family. I'm giving it to you."
Lockhart looked at the book in front of him that was emitting slight magical fluctuations, glanced at Anthony Avery, shook his head slightly, and smiled.
"Don't worry, Mr. Avery. I think Anthony is a good kid. I will definitely take care of him if I can."
"No need for gifts."
At this point, Lockhart recalled the situation of the Avery family and spoke meaningfully.
"Maybe we'll have a chance to work together in the future!"
Chapter 125 The Reason for Eternal Slavery (Please subscribe and vote)
Lockhart's study in Hogsmeade.
A circle of sparks suddenly appeared in the dim study.
Then Lockhart took a step forward, with a dark blue ball-bird, Cooco, sitting on his shoulder, and the house-elf Gold Coin following behind.
With Lockhart's gentle wave of his hand, the entire study, including the corridor and living room outside, was lit up in an instant.
Lockhart asked directly as he looked at the gold coin in rags in front of him, sitting on the chair and placing the goo on the desk next to him.
"Gold, tell me about your current situation and the fairy magic you have mastered."
The timid Gold Coin immediately bent down and bowed deeply, then raised his head sharply and said loudly: "Master, Gold Coin was the house elf of the Avery family before."
"Now the only master is you, and your will is the lifelong pursuit of the gold coin."
"The gold coin will completely obey all the orders of its master."
Hearing this, Lockhart frowned slightly, but he also knew that this was the typical character of the house-elf, so he directly ordered: "Gold coins, don't say anymore."
"Tell me about the magic you have mastered first."
"Okay, Master." The gold coin nodded quickly, and then replied loudly: "Master, currently, I have mastered the teleportation spell, the repulsion spell, the invisibility spell..."
Hearing the series of magic spells from the gold coin, Lockhart raised his eyebrows, and after waiting for the gold coin to finish replying, he asked curiously: "Gold Coin, where did you learn magic from?"
"Master, part of it was taught to me by my mother." The gold coin replied loudly, "and part of it was something I learned naturally as I grew up."
"So what percentage of the magic do you understand yourself?" Lockhart asked with interest.
Gold Coin frowned and fiddled with his fingers. After a while, he said hesitantly, "Master, I have mastered 27 kinds of fairy magic in total, about 7% of them."
what!
Hearing the gold coin's answer, Lockhart's heart seemed to be stirred up by a thousand waves.
I immediately knew why the house-elves were so miserable.
There is no other reason, the potential is just too great.
Although 27 types of magic may not sound like a lot, ordinary little wizards can master thirty or forty of them after training.
However, the young wizards have been trained, and some of them still find it difficult to master the skills even after years of training.
House-elves, on the other hand, are born with the ability to master it.
what does this mean?
A huge threat!
To ancient wizards, even if house-elves were peaceful, their powerful potential was a sin.
But the strength is weak, that is the original sin.
Ancient wizards would not let go of any race that might threaten their status.
Especially a race that cannot defeat one's own.
Now Lockhart asked himself, if he had discovered the potential of the house-elves, he would not have left it alone.
The reason why ancient wizards did not exterminate the house-elves was probably because they saw the potential of the house-elves.
No wonder he was so cruel.
This is done entirely from the perspective of eternal slavery.
At this time, Lockhart looked at the gold coins differently, full of desire to study.
The ability to master magic is definitely related to bloodline.
But soon, he suppressed his desire for research.
He was not in a hurry. Gold Coin was his house-elf now. According to the character of the house-elf, the house-elf would never refuse any request he made.
Even if it means... suicide!
As far as he knew, the house-elf of the Black family was proud to have his head hung on the exhibition wall even before his death.
Lockhart then asked Gold a few more questions.
The truth about the gold coins was revealed one by one, and Lockhart's understanding of the gold coins became deeper and deeper.
The more I understand, the more surprised I am. This purchase was indeed a good one.
Gold Coin's fighting ability is no weaker than that of an ordinary wizard. The most important thing is his loyalty, which is beyond doubt.
His thoughts, education, and even instincts all speak of loyalty at all times - loyalty to his master.
When he thought of this, a hint of excitement flashed in Lockhart's eyes.
Looking at the gold coins in front of him, Lockhart felt more and more delighted. Then, he gently waved his wand and pointed at the rags that the gold coins were wrapped around.
In a flash, the originally gray and even somewhat dirty rag began to turn clean black, and then quickly changed and expanded, covering the entire body of the gold coin.
Finally, Gold Coin appeared in front of Lockhart wearing a black outfit, a bit like the outfit of a Gringotts goblin.
Seeing this, Lockhart nodded with satisfaction. He still had certain requirements for beauty. He really couldn't stand Gold Coin following him around in rags every day and doing things for him.
This is a potential pollution to one's own mind.
Bang bang bang!
When Jinbi looked at his neat clothes, he felt a little frightened, so he kept hitting the ground with his head, making loud bangs.
While smashing, he shouted loudly: "Master, Jinbi knows he is wrong. Don't chase him away. Jinbi will obey you in everything."
"Gold Coin doesn't want to wear this outfit anymore, he wants to wear the original one again..."
Looking at the movement of the gold coin, Lockhart frowned slightly, sighed softly, and then directly ordered: "Gold Coin, raise your head, don't move."
Hearing Lockhart's order, Gold Coin, who was smashing his head on the ground, immediately raised his head and stood still, completely respecting Lockhart's instructions.
Seeing such gold coins, Lockhart felt a little headache.
Some habits of domesticated elves are indeed very good, such as loyalty, not betraying, obeying orders, taking pride in labor and being ashamed of laziness.
But some of the traditions of their house-elves over the years have been criticized.
For example, just now he would bang his head on the ground or the wall, praying through self-harm.
This made Lockhart feel quite uncomfortable.
He wasn't a saint, but he simply felt that it would be very difficult to communicate with such a house-elf.
Just changing clothes suddenly triggered their tradition of wearing tattered clothes, so they started to hurt themselves.
If he were an outsider, he could just watch the show like eating spectators, after all, it's fun to watch the excitement, no matter how big the event.
But now it’s up to my subordinates to do what they do. How can I not have a headache?
After thinking for a while, he said in a commanding tone: "Gold Coin, you will wear this from now on. Keep it clean and don't embarrass me."
"You have to remember that I am a professor at Hogwarts. When you go out, your clothes and your behavior will affect my reputation."
"So, I order you to keep your clothes clean in the future and not bang your head on the ground or the wall at every turn." If this behavior occurs again.
Hearing Lockhart's order, Gold Coin's eyes immediately became tearful, and he shouted with gratitude: "Thank you, Master, thank you, Master..."
"As long as it is the master's order, Jinbi will do it..."
Well, in the tradition or worldview of house-elves, clean clothes mean that the owner hates them.
That's why the gold coin reacted so excitedly just now.
But Lockhart's explanation and orders.
