Solstice nodded, Mr. Weasley couldn't find it, and Dobby didn't know where.

So now there is no way to act directly.

"Just wait and see now." Xia Zhi smiled.

"Waiting for what?" Harry didn't understand, what was there to wait for.

Xia Zhi smiled and said, "Let's wait and see if Lucius Malfoy will be stupid."

Dobby has now left the Malfoy house, and 780 Lucius, if he is smart enough, should realize that Dobby has probably heard all of his plots.

If the summer solstice was Malfoy, it would never go according to the original plan, and even if the original plan was still sticking to it, Dobby would have to be removed.

Of course, if it were Xia Zhi who planned some shady conspiracy, he would never let anyone know.

Not even the closest people.

"Of course, I'll send a letter to Professor Dumbledore to tell him about it when I get back. We'll just be prepared then."

"Well, that's the only way to go now." Harry nodded helplessly. "Be careful when Lucius Malfoy touches Ginny's books. I didn't think there was such a person! In order to get revenge on Mr. Weasley, he planned to mix such a dangerous black magic item into gold. Ginny brought Ginny to school in Ni's textbook!"

Dobby had already told Harry and Solstice of everything he had overheard.

So Harry knew that Lucius Malfoy wanted to avenge Mr. Weasley's search of his home, so he planned to find a way to get Ginny Weasley to bring the diary into the school.

If his plans work out, Ginny will definitely not end well (ahbj).

"If I'm not mistaken, next semester's Defence Against the Dark Arts textbooks will be expensive. I think Harry, you should be able to send Ginny a set to thank the Weasleys for their kindness to you." said inadvertently.

Harry's eyes lit up. "Yeah, then I'll be able to exchange the old books in Ginny's hand with dark magic books mixed in. But...why don't we just tell Mr. Weasley about it directly? We don't seem to need to be so sneaky. of."

"If Mr. Weasley knew about this, as a father who loves his children so much. He would surely have rushed to Malfoy Manor to break Lucius' nose. I support him in doing so. , if it were me, I might be more excited than him." Xia Zhi explained to Harry patiently.

"However, Lucius Malfoy hasn't actually started yet. Dobby's words alone are not proof at all, and Mr. Weasley may get into trouble because of this. And Mr. Weasley is making such a scene, we think It's not that easy to get that diary. That diary, for us, is very important."

There was another reason Xia Zhi didn't say. He didn't want more people to know about the existence of the diary. Maybe it would be useful to keep it in the future. After all, as long as it got into his hands, he could destroy the diary at any time.

Harry nodded gloomily. "Well, if Mr. Weasley gets a shock, we'll never get that diary again."

"Never get it?" The corner of Xia Zhi's mouth rose slightly. "That's not true. I just try to work within the rules. Professor Dumbledore wants me to. If it can't be done within the rules..." Maybe give him an Imperius Curse at your door, or maybe just pierce your heart curse?

Summer Solstice thought that Mr. Lucius Malfoy must be familiar with this spell.

However, if I transformed into that socket jerk and suddenly appeared in front of Lucius Malfoy, would he immediately be scared to pee?

It seems not impossible, because the summer solstice detected through the soul fragments, Voldemort's remnant soul has now returned to the Albanian forest, and knows nothing about the outside world.

Maybe that would be fun?The corners of Xia Zhi's mouth could not help but rise slightly.

Harry was horrified when he saw Xia Zhi's happy smile. The last time he saw Xia Zhi smile like this, he was being chased by a stone jeep...

"Dobby, you are a free elf now, so what are your plans in the future?" Xia Zhi asked Dobby.

When Dobby heard this question, he couldn't help being stunned, "Yes... Dobby is free, but where should Dobby go? Or Dobby should find a job! But... Few people would be willing to give A fired elf for a job! They'd much rather serve them for free."

Dobby couldn't help muttering to himself that he was going to find a job, though, and maybe meet a kind wizard who would pay him a salary.

"I have a job here, I wonder if Dobby would like you or not?" Xia Zhi said.

"What's the job?" Dobby was immediately excited.

"I recently settled in a new home where Dobby can work for me."

Dobby's interest immediately dropped, "But... Dobby finally became a free elf, I don't want... I don't want to..."

Dobby thinks Xiazhi wants him to be the house-elf of Xiazhi's family, but Dobby doesn't want to lose his hard-won freedom.

"Of course you are a free elf, because I am hiring you, not enslaving you." Xia Zhi said seriously.

"I am willing to pay you 25 gallons per week, and every Saturday and Sunday are your holidays. During work, you will have room and board, and you will have one week's paid annual leave every year. It's easy to work, and there are still holidays. Hearty staff meals, lots of benefits on a first-come, first-served basis." The tempting voice of the Xia Solstice kept reaching Dobby's ears.

"Mr. Summer Solstice is willing to pay Dobby 25 Galleons for a week? And also give Dobby a vacation? Oh..." Dobby was moved to tears.

He had been living a life inferior to pigs and dogs at the Malfoys.

If it was another house-elf, it would be fine, but Dobby is a unique house-elf.

He has a very strong sense of autonomy, and in this group, he is destined to be a special one.

So when he heard that Xiazhi was willing to hire him at such a generous price, his excitement was indescribable.

The position of the Summer Solstice in his mind immediately became second only to Harry Potter.

"Of course! And at my house, you can live in a spacious room, not a cupboard!" Xia Zhi continued.

ps: I have been suffering from low back pain recently. I will see more about the situation tomorrow.

Chapter XNUMX Hermione: Summer Solstice!I had no idea you were such a person!

"Oh! Dobby's... room?" Dobby looked in disbelief. "Doesn't need to live in a cupboard anymore?"

Perhaps, he is the first house-elf in history to have his own room.

"Of course! Dobby, you remember, you are my employee, not a slave, you don't need to be so careful in front of me." Xia Zhi continued, "Oh, by the way, my employees are all very beautiful. Oh work clothes. Of course, a full set of work clothes, including hat, gloves, socks, and small leather shoes."

When Dobby hears about clothes.Little stars have begun to appear in his eyes.

At this time, the status of the summer solstice has even caught up with the status of Harry Potter in his heart.

"Well, I am your boss, and you are my employee. At the same time, we are also friends. So of course I can send you clothes." Xia Zhi said seriously, "When the time comes, you can also use your own salary to bring you clothes. Dress yourself up and throw away that dirty pillowcase. You're a free elf now, and you don't need this slave sign anymore."

Dobby widened his eyes, immersed in his longing for a better future.

"So, Dobby, would you like to come and work with me?"

"Oh...of course! Of course Dobby would. It's just...~just the salary..."

"Is it because the salary is not enough? Then I will give you more." Xiazhi, who has countless wealth, is extremely self-willed.

"Oh! No no no! Dobby... Dobby doesn't think he deserves the salary... Dobby only needs one nut a week." Dobby said pitifully.

Twenty hardware Galleons a week's salary, terrified it.

"I refuse." Xia Zhi said, "I'm a big boss. If others find out that I pay so little to my employees, wouldn't I be embarrassed."

In the end, Dobby could only shiver, and happily accepted the invitation of the summer solstice.

Harry looked dumbfounded on the side.

He thought he was already rich, but he didn't expect Xia Zhi to be richer than him.

Although he was willing to hire Dobby, he wouldn't give Twenty Hardware Galleons for a week.

"Xiazhi, where did you get so much money?" Harry asked curiously, he knew that Xiazhi was an orphan, and he didn't even know who his parents were.

So Xia Zhi is different from himself, he may not have parents who can leave him a golden mountain.

"Remember my big snake, Nagini?"

Harry nodded.

"An ounce of her venom is worth 500 Galleons! I've saved several buckets!"

Harry: ...

Xia Zhi had already prepared a handsome little suit, a pair of white gloves, a nice hat, and a pair of shiny little leather shoes.

Dobby excitedly changed into this outfit, and suddenly changed into an elf.

"Well, yes, you are going to be our housekeeper in the future, a good housekeeper, how can you get a good outfit for less." Xia Zhi nodded.

"Dobby! You're so handsome!" Harry exclaimed sincerely.

After all, people rely on clothes, and horses rely on saddles. After Dobby put on this new outfit, his spirit and energy changed immediately.

Dobby was almost overjoyed to hear Harry compliment him.

"Don't cry, you will stain your new clothes." Xia Zhi said leisurely on the side.

Dobby stopped crying immediately, "Dobby doesn't cry, and Dobby won't cry in the future." Saying this, he puffed out his little chest.

"Harry, then let's go first, you must come to my house, you know that Ron lives near my house. You can also visit his house anytime!"

After hearing this, Harry wanted to move to Xiazhi's house immediately. Although the Dursleys treated him a lot better, but getting along with them was not as happy as getting along with his own friends.

But thinking that I have to live at my aunt's house for more than two weeks before I can go to the Xia solstice house, I can't help but feel a little sad.

"Don't be lazy at home. When you come to my place, I want to be assessed." Xia Zhi said and dragged Dobby away.

Leave Harry alone at the Dursleys, messed up in the wind.

"Assessment?" Harry swallowed hard. "It shouldn't be life-threatening...probably?"

……

When Xia Solstice brought Dobby back to the door, he felt that his head was a little big.

Because he heard Cassandra and Hermione arguing at the door.

"I can't believe that house-elves are being treated so unfairly! They're like slaves to wizards!"

"But they like it, and if you give them a raise, they'll see it as an insult to them."

"Every creature with an independent mind should not be a slave to anyone. Even house-elves need to be respected and paid for their work!"

"If Caffey heard what you said, he would definitely spit at you..."

"Is that the house elf from your family? But I really don't understand! No race was born to be slaves to other races."

0 ・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・

"You should have checked the information, Hermione, they are a race that was defeated by wizards, and then received slave education from generation to generation, so they became what they are today."

"So we should liberate them, shouldn't we? We should give them their own rights."

"But, Hermione, we'll never wake someone who's pretending to be asleep. They now think it's a pleasure to work for their master for free."

"If we don't do anything, then of course they take it for granted to serve wizards. Because they are born with that education."

"Hermione, your idea is impossible to succeed. You stand in the position of the house-elves and speak for them with the human mind. But you ignore the vested interests, and they will not agree with you. idea."

...................... 0

"So, are you also one of those vested interests?"
