The Alchemist of Harry Potter

"Twinkle?"

Harry repeated with confused eyes.

"The house elf who was kicked out by Crouch at the World Cup." Hermione didn't even bother to use the honorific, which showed how dissatisfied she was with Crouch's actions. "I was looking through the Daily Prophet today to collect information. , the house elf who discovered that Sirius had mentioned Crouch proved that Barty Crouch Jr. was still alive. To be honest, I was a little worried about Winky's situation..."

"Why are you worried..." Ron was interrupted by Hermione before he finished speaking.

"When I went over, I found the poor house elf completely devastated."

Hermione sympathized with Winky and felt unworthy of her.

"Hasn't she been expelled from home by Crouch?" Ron was even more confused.

"Twinkle still can't forget that man. Anyway, you come with me first." Hermione led the two of them to the kitchen below the auditorium.

"Then what are you doing with Albert?" Ron had not forgotten that Hermione originally wanted to ask Albert for help.

"Dobby told me that Albert is very popular among house elves, and maybe he can help solve Winky's problem."

Because of the House Elf Liberation Front, Hermione is now almost one of the most unpopular people among the house elves. Although they did not drive her out of the kitchen, Hermione can feel the disgust of the house elves. look.

"Albert is very popular with the house elves?" Harry felt that the house elves were very welcoming to everyone.

"Yes, very popular." Hermione nodded and said, "Albert is very friendly to the house elves. He gives the house elves some Christmas gifts every Christmas holiday, so many house elves work for him."

"A Christmas present for the house elves?"

Although Harry had done it himself, he still felt that Albert was a bit...hypocritical.

"Albert has a cat, and sometimes the house elves will help take care of it..." Hermione said to herself, "I heard from Dobby that the house elves would help Albert cook midnight snacks alone and deliver them to the dormitory. Of course, Albert has no prejudice against house elves and is quite friendly. He loves and cares for them just like his family members. The Christmas gift is just a way of expressing his gratitude to the house elves for their usual care."

Hermione really admired Albert. Most wizards never took house elves seriously. There were very few people who could do what Albert did. He was even willing to patiently help Hermione write a book about house elves. Touching stories of harmonious coexistence with wizards to promote friendly relations between the two parties.

The two looked at each other, honestly speaking, they were envious of Albert's treatment from the house elves.

"By the way, Albert also gave Dobby a job." Hermione said suddenly. Apart from Dumbledore, he was the first to do so, and few wizards were willing to do so.

"He hired Dobby?" Harry and Ron were both surprised.

"What did he hire Dobby for?"

"That guy is indeed a weirdo," Ron muttered.

"It seems that we will need manpower to open a store in the future, and we can also take care of the lives of Fred, George and Lee Jordan." Hermione had already learned the whole thing from Dobby, although the salary given by Albert did not allow Hermione to Too satisfying, but he was at least willing to give Dobby a job, which was a good start.

Some things need to be done step by step, and nothing can be rushed.

"He has prepared everything."

Harry felt that this was very similar to Albert's style of doing things. He would prepare everything in advance, which was not like a Gryffindor at all.

At least, not many Gryffindors would consider thinking about these issues in advance.

"Believe me, if Anderson was a pureblood, he would have become the object of countless purebloods' pursuit, admiration, and envy." Ron seemed to have remembered something, and laughed at himself: "He is the kind of person who would have to bow his head even if he saw Malfoy. The type to please, and with his ability and pure-blood reputation, he will definitely become the Minister of Magic within ten years and become another legend in the wizarding world."

(The Minister of Magic is elected once every seven years and can be re-elected)

Harry and Hermione looked at Ron in astonishment.

"Don't look at me like this. Albert is more famous in the wizarding world than you think." Ron muttered. "He is so famous that even guys like Malfoy can't do anything to him. Even his mother admires him. Fred and George used Albert to convince our family.”

"Does the wizarding world reject Muggle wizards?" Harry suddenly asked.

"My dad just likes Muggles and has never been promoted." Ron muttered. "Although he doesn't care, Percy does. That guy is very ambitious."

"Significance is not uncommon anywhere."

Hermione opened the kitchen door and led Harry and Ron into the kitchen again. This was their second time in the Hogwarts kitchen.

"Long time no see sir." Dobby hugged Harry tightly.

"Thank you for the Christmas gift." Harry forced a smile on his face. He was still not used to the enthusiasm of the house elves.

"How is Winky now?" Hermione asked anxiously.

"It's not good. She has had an emotional breakdown since she found out about Mr. Crouch's death. She has been crying and drinking lately. She still can't adapt to her identity." Dobby said sharply.

"Is it because Sirius forced Winky to tell the story about Barty Crouch Jr.?" Hermione asked warily.

"Hermione?" Harry frowned.

"No, Mr. Black has never come to see Winky." Dobby shook his head and said, "However, Professor Dumbledore called Winky over a while ago to ask some questions."

"Dumbledore?"

The three of them looked at each other and followed Dobby to visit Winky. The house elves around them avoided them, as if Dobby had some terrible infectious disease.

"She looks fine now." Ron observed Winky and said.

"I just gave Winky a sedative." Dobby said helplessly: "When Mr. Anderson and his friends came here for supper a few days ago, he happened to notice Winky's condition and gave me a large bottle of it. Tranquilizers and euphorics are sometimes given to her when she has a breakdown."

Harry looked at the house elf and then at Hermione. He didn't know what to do for a moment. He had no good solution at all.

"Can you use the Forgetting Charm, Hermione? Do you know that spell?" Harry pulled Hermione to the side and muttered softly, "I remember Lockhart is very good at this spell. Maybe we can make Winky forget something that is not Very pleasant memory.”

"No, although I know the principle of the Forgetting Curse, but..."

Hermione had actually thought about using a forgetting spell to make Winky forget about Crouch, but she felt that she couldn't make the decision on her own, otherwise something bad might happen.

Of course, she couldn't do this.

This is actually the reason why Hermione wants to find Albert. Maybe Albert's charm only requires gently touching Winky's head and saying to the house elf: If you have nowhere to go, you can come to my house.

Maybe it can solve all the problems.

From Hermione's point of view, Albert is willing to hire Dobby, and it will definitely not be a problem to accept another house elf. This matter is beneficial to both parties. With Albert, Winky's future life will definitely be much better.

"Twinkle, are you willing to follow Albert?"

Hermione hesitated for a long time, then came to Winky and asked in a low voice, "If you are willing, I will ask Albert for you. After he graduates from school, he will definitely be willing to have a famous house elf help take care of his daily life. "

Winky raised her head and looked at Hermione with disbelief. Her expression seemed a little distorted. She seemed to want to cry, but couldn't.

"This is a good idea. Mr. Anderson is a good man, and he is also a very great person. He is very kind to everyone. He will definitely become a great wizard like Dumbledore in the future." Dobby also felt that Hermione's proposal Very cool, then they can all work for Mr. Anderson.

"No, Winky doesn't want it, Winky doesn't want it, Winky will never betray her master." The house elf shook his head crazily.

"Mr. Crouch is no longer your master. He drove you away." Dobby reminded sharply, "And, he is dead, killed by Peter Pettigrew."

"Shut up Dobby." Winky covered her ears and curled up.

"Do you want to go back to Barty Crouch Jr.?" Harry asked, "I know Barty Crouch Jr. is still alive. He even took away my wand during the World Cup and released the Dark Mark. , now that he has returned to his master, do you plan to follow Voldemort in the future?"

The atmosphere in the kitchen suddenly became very strange, and there was even a small area of ​​chaos. The name Voldemort was still a strong deterrent to the house elves.

"Harry..."

Under the anxious gaze of the house elf, Hermione forcibly pulled Harry out of the kitchen.

"You shouldn't have mentioned You-Know-Who's name, you scared them all." Hermione looked at Harry reproachfully, as if he had just done something very outrageous.

"Is Barty Crouch Jr. really still alive?" Ron suddenly asked.

"It seems to be alive. I heard from Sirius that Barty Jr. is hiding and seems to be trying to resurrect Voldemort." Harry muttered.

Ron shook his whole body and gritted his teeth and said, "Harry, can you please stop mentioning this name."

"Don't do that Ron."

Under Ron's gaze, Harry finally gave in reluctantly.

"Oh, okay." He spread his hands and said, "They are looking for Barty Crouch Jr., and Sirius said that if they can catch Peter, they should be able to find out the specific whereabouts of Barty Crouch Jr. .”

"Can't you ask Anderson for divination?" Ron asked confusedly: "With Anderson's ability, I think he might be able to find out where Barty Crouch Jr. is hiding. After all, he originally gave Sirius divination. All of Peter’s clues came true, although they were not used.”

"Don't be too superstitious about divination Weasley."

Moody, who had just come out of the hall, said to the three people: "If that thing really works, many things in this world will become very easy. Even Dumbledore actually doesn't believe in that thing, because he usually doesn't." allow."

"Is that so?" Harry murmured doubtfully, "But Anderson is really accurate, even though he charges a large sum of galleons for every divination."

Harry didn't know much about other fortune tellers, but Albert Anderson's fortune telling was indeed accurate.

As for Professor Trelawney, although the professor had made several prophecies, Harry still believed from the bottom of his heart that she was a liar.

"I have also heard that he can do divination. If Mr. Anderson is really that good, I should suggest Dumbledore to ask him for divination." Moody muttered, "At least, there is no need to worry about finding Peter Pettigrew and Peter Pettigrew. Barty Crouch Jr.”

Moody limped away on crutches, looking like he was going to talk to Dumbledore about the matter.

"That...Professor Moody."

Hermione hesitated for a moment, then stepped forward and said, "Can you ask Professor Dumbledore for me? Just tell him that the house elf Winky had an emotional breakdown because of Mr. Crouch's death. The question is whether the Forgetting Curse can be used to help Winky." Forget those bad memories.”

Moody stopped, turned his head and stared at Hermione for a moment with the potion, and whispered: "To be honest, this is not a pleasant topic, especially tampering with other people's memories. This kind of thing is generally taboo for wizards. . If you can avoid doing that, it's best not to do that. Also, if you want to erase important memories about other people in the house elf's head, you also need a very powerful forgetting spell. Once used, it will cause damage to the house elf's brain. Permanent damage.”

Hermione's face became extremely pale, the corners of her mouth trembled and she said, "I didn't know it would be like this."

"You still have a lot to learn, and I suggest you focus on helping Potter pass the second project." Moody looked up at Harry and said, "The situation is getting a little weird now, you'd better Learn more ways to protect yourself, and don't go into battle unprepared, as you can easily lose your life. It's hard for me to imagine that Dumbledore didn't teach you these things."

As the three watched, Moody limped away on crutches.

"I don't think it's a good idea for you to ask Professor Moody for help," Ron muttered.

Harry also agreed with Ron's words. Moody was obviously more interested in catching the dark wizard. If he could learn the whereabouts of Barty Jr. by questioning Winky, Moody would definitely do that.

However, the three of them didn't know that their conversation just now made Moody feel a wave of emotion.

Divination?

To be honest, little Barty actually didn't believe this lie.

Even if little Barty got an excellent grade in O.W.LS divination that year. Find Shuyuan www.zhaｏshuyuan.comｍ No, maybe it was because he got an excellent score in the divination exam that he knew better what divination was like.

There are actually very few real diviners, very few, and most of them are liars. Even if they are not liars, their abilities are usually very limited and they cannot divine accurate things. What they get are basically some mysterious and inexplicable things.

Of course, Anderson is really evil, and there must be a reason why Potter and Weasley admire him so much.

That guy is really a scourge.

Little Barty felt that he needed to be more vigilant, lest he be exposed because of the divination that day, although he felt that such a thing might be extreme.

Sometimes he really wanted to kill the mudblood.

In fact, Barty Jr. was right.

If Albert wanted it, Barty Jr. rolled over.
