[028] The Inspiration of the House-Elves
Carl took the initiative to get the drinks because he didn't want Hermione to see the house elf for the time being.
Perhaps in Hermione's view, the free work of the house elves is modern slavery and the exploitation and oppression of magical creatures by humans, but in fact, there are complex historical reasons behind all this.
The elves and humans are already quite complicated, and domestic elves are also a bargaining chip to balance the relationship between the two parties - in fact, these little guys are more like magic servants in a sense, with bloodlines and contracts dominating their actions.
In this case, liberating the domestic elf itself is a matter of "only satisfying one's kindness".
In this way, Hermione silently reads Carl's notes, and Carl left the eighth floor and turned to the Hogwarts kitchen located underground.
………………………………………
Household elves will not appear in front of humans on their own initiative, so many young wizards have never seen house elves once even after graduating from Hogwarts.
However, for Carl, it was not difficult to see the house elf in Hogwarts - he grew up eating Hogwarts's meal. When he was a child, he caught the house elf who delivered his meal on the spot by using a little trick.
When a house elf named Nono was responsible for delivering food to Carl, he thought Carl was asleep. He moved to the restaurant of McGonagall with a hot lunch phantom. When he wanted the phantom to move away, he was stopped by Carl who had been waiting by the side.
From then on, Carl joined the house elves online - anyway, his meal money belonged to Dumbledore, and according to the principal's authority, he could even order food from the house elves.
After a while, Carl had already learned a lot about the castle from the house elves before entering Hogwarts.
So, Hogwarts’ kitchen may be a secret for students at three academies except Hufflepuff, but Carl knew it clearly.
Just go back to the entrance of the Gryffindor lounge, start from the portrait of the fat lady, walk back along the corridor, go down the six floors, follow the marble stairs and enter the foyer. Turn left, there is a wide stone gallery. Find a painting with a silver bowl full of fruits. When scratching the pear, the pear will hilariously, then turn into a big green handle, grab it and pull the door open, and inside is the Hogwarts kitchen!
"Nono, is Nono?" Carl entered the kitchen and began to call out the name of the house elf he was familiar with. "I am Carl, and I need two cups of hot cocoa - one of which contains more sugar."
"Nuo Nuo will have to wait a while before coming back." Just as Carl wondered why Nono didn't show up, another house elf he knew spoke, "Cara is here, Mr. McGonagall, do you need two cups of hot cocoa, it's good soon."
"Oh, Kara." Carl nodded, "Do you know where Nono went--I rarely see a housewife when it's not in the kitchen."
"Nono should have gone to deliver something to Dobi." Kara answered Carl's words while searching for cocoa powder. "Dobi's careless elf forgot some of his own things here-but Kara didn't understand why Dobi has such a strange thing as 'personal belongings'."
Wait - Doby?!
Hearing the name, Carl narrowed his eyes.
If I remember correctly, Dobby should be the house elf of the Malfoy family, right?
If Dobby landed something at Hogwarts, does that mean...Dobby had been in Hogwarts for a long time?
No wonder Draco Malfoy's activities have been vacuumed for a long time. In nearly a month, Carl has not even noticed any abnormal activities he has - it turns out that Dobby has been here!
After thinking for a moment, Carl thought of Draco's use of Dobby's means - being able to perform phantom shifts in the castle of Hogwarts. This huge advantage is really useful for exploration and tracking!
So, with Dobi's help, how much will Draco know?
Now Carl has confirmed that in the 1547 world, not only does the super players have no group activities, but there are also no wall breakers on the other side - and if nothing unexpected happens, the wall breakers should be conducting the assessment of new recruits.
As a former wall breaker, Carl knew very well the significance of the fourth-level world. This is a natural assessment area and a must-have way to become a formal wall breaker. A rookie like Ron, ninety percent of them are rookies during the internship period.
And Draco... should be the person in charge of the assessment.
Draco should have known Ron's identity, but Ron may not have known Draco - this is the current situation, so if nothing unexpected happens, the person Dobby is monitoring should be Ron.
Ron has been very close to Hager before, and it is very likely that through Ron, Draco already knew how to pass the three-headed dog. Even Snape and Kilowe were staring at the door before, Dobby did it!
Dobby's news helped Carl make up for the last shortcoming, and he has finally mastered the information record of the last person to pay attention to.
Now that Dobby has left Hogwarts, Draco will go to Hager's hut to eavesdrop on himself - and accidentally leave his footprints.
When Kara handed over the hot cocoa, Carl had figured it out - he politely took the hot cocoa and left the kitchen. When he walked on the road, he was thinking about Draco.
His target is also a Philosopher's Stone? After all, if you remember correctly, the observer will also receive reward weights for the core laws of the world - Draco has no reason to let go of the Philosopher's Stone.
In other words, this battle for the Philosopher's Stone is likely to be a four-way battle?
Quirrell, Harry, Ron, Draco, they all have to get the Philosopher's Stone!
Carl, who had figured everything, finally smiled on his face - in this way, maybe his plan could be slightly changed...
Eliminating two wall breakers at once made them think it was caused by each other's pitfalls... This is so interesting.
Thinking of this, Carl returned to the house with Hot Cocoa and handed Hermione the portion of sugar according to the label.
"How are you reading the notes?" Carl sat down naturally, "Is there any inspiration?"
"Inspiration... this is hard to say." Hermione looked puzzled. "In fact, the content in this note is really complicated. If I follow the above statement, I may need to work hard to achieve results."
