The Rise of Malfoy at Hogwarts

　　 With this harvest, Xie Lin was in a good mood and didn't rush to leave. He stood there and chatted with Uncle Gu.

　　 "Uncle Gu, I don't know if I would take the liberty to ask, how did the elves at Hogwarts choose the elders?" Schelling asked politely.

Uncle Gu didn’t panic about Schelling’s politeness like other elves, but replied in a very normal tone: "Don’t worry, sir, your question will not be presumptuous at all. There is actually no position among the elves. In terms of level, the position of elder is not used to manage other elves. This is actually a rule set by the ancestors of our tribe back then..."

"Your ancestors? Could it be..." Schelling remembered the history of Hogwarts he had read. When Hogwarts was founded, Roina Ravenclaw was in charge of the interior design of the castle; Racha Slytherin is responsible for recruiting professors, teaching assistants and other employees; Godric Gryffindor is responsible for calming down the intelligent creatures living around the castle, such as horsemen and mermaids, to prevent them from disturbing Hogwarts; Hull Ja Hufflepuff is responsible for the daily maintenance of the castle, such as cleaning and sanitation, purchasing raw materials, kitchen operations and so on.

(Note: Hogwarts also had a glorious period. At that time, the number of employees and students was not as scarce as described in the original book. McGonagall was an assistant teacher before becoming a professor. In the original book, he enrolled in 1991. The number of students dropped to 41-80 because of the war launched by Voldemort. The increase in mortality and the decline in fertility led to the shrinking of the wizarding population in Britain. This book is set as follows: the number of students in the 1990s is 600, the pre-Voldemort era Number of people 1,000)

(Note: On October 16, 2000, the publishing house held a web chat between Rowling and fans. Rowling said that Hogwarts had 1,000 students, but this clearly did not match the description in the book. In July 2005 On the 16th, when Rowling announced the manuscript of the "initial list of forty people", she admitted that she was not good at mathematics during an interview, and changed the arguing that the number of students at Hogwarts was 600. The author rationalized the second setting to 90 The sharp decline in enrollment in the decade)

　　 Hufflepuff obtained the allegiance of a house elf by chance, and later with the help of that house elf, he found more house elf.

　　 Hufflepuff pityed these house elves for their brutal and inhuman slave treatment in the Middle Ages, and brought them all to Hogwarts and gave them a safe place to shelter. Although Hufflepuff did not try to liberate the house elves like the later Hermione in the original book, she did the greatest thing possible at the time and gave the house elves the best work and living environment, so she was well raised by the house The veneration of the elves.

　　 Schelling suspected that the first house elf to follow Hufflepuff was the so-called ancestor of Uncle Gu.

　　 Schelling’s guess was quickly confirmed by Gu Bo.

"Yes, our ancestor was the first elf to follow Master Hufflepuff, the great Hockchi. That is, he established the rule of appointing elders. Before each elder dies, he must appoint the next one. Heir, this elf who inherits the position of elder will inherit the secrets of our house elf. Hufflepuff’s saucepan is one of them."

"Uncle Gu, I have no intention of asking about the secrets of your race. But I was just curious to ask, where was Hockchi? The deeds of Hockchi are recorded in Hogwarts: A School History. He helped He Chipach cut off the Demon Tree Soul Eater and finally opened a greenhouse for cultivating herbs, but the school history said nothing about his final destination."

　　 Uncle Gu fell silent.

　　 Gu Jing Wubo on his old face, even with Schelling's observation power, there is nothing unusual.

　　 "Uncle Gu, did I ask questions that shouldn't be asked? If I don't answer them, I'm just curious to ask, I don't have to know." Xie Lin felt a little embarrassed and said hurriedly.

　　 "Fate!" Gu Bo sighed.

　　 Xie Lin didn't dare to interrupt Gu Bo's thoughts, and waited quietly for him to speak.

　　 "In all these years, you are the first person to ask where the great Hockchie is, and you are not a Hufflepuff..."

Uncle Gu's gaze flickered faintly, and he slowly said, "Well, since you have solved the test left by Master Hufflepuff, and asked where Master Hookch went, I will tell you... "

　　 "Our house elves are actually one of the branches of the elves..."

　　 Schelling was not surprised by this.

　　 After the magic history class that day, he already knew that the elves were from the ancient elves that were passed down from the ancient times. The ancient elves, like ancient dragons and ancient giants, have disappeared in the long river of history.

The descendants of the ancient elves are numerous and diverse. The house elves that spread all over Europe are just one of them. The evil elves that haunt the Black Forest in Germany are also one of the elves. Others include the Irish dwarfs and the clouds in Africa. Yumbo, Tanuki from the East, etc., strictly speaking, they all belong to the Elvish Creature.

"In ancient times, in order to avoid war, our oldest ancestors, the ancient elves, opened up a secret realm as a shelter for descendants, but as descendants of the elves, many of them were unwilling to hide in the secret realm for a lifetime. They are full of longing and yearning for the outside world, so some sneaked out of the secret realm, so there are now evil spirits, dwarfs, Yunbo, civet cat people and us..."

"With the help of Master Hufflepuff, Master Hufflepuff successfully found a way to return to the secret realm. Therefore, all the house elves in Hogwarts will return to the elves on their own once they reach the age of declining old age. My ancestral land, and greet death there. It is me, after a few years, after appointing my next elder, will return to the elven ancestral land."

　　 So, is this the biggest secret that house elves have been passed down from generation to generation? It turned out that the secret realm of the ancient elves has been preserved to this day.

　　 If the greedy wizards knew it, it would be worth it, and they would definitely attack and abduct more elves as slaves. No wonder the house elves keep secrets about this.

　　 Sherring immediately noticed something was wrong, and Ravenclaw's test of selecting heirs was so complicated. To find the crown, repair the crown, activate the crown, and then read through a large collection of books. There is no reason that Hufflepuff, who is also the founder of the Big Four, will leave such a simple test-just need to crack a Gurunis magic talisman.

Although the 　　Ru Nigu writings are indifferent, if only to decipher a single symbol, there must be many professors who can do it, and there must be many genius students who can do it in the past thousand years.

　　 Schelling couldn’t help wondering, could it be that Hufflepuff’s real test was actually in the ancestral land of the elves? And this crucible is just a cover, and it can be regarded as part of the test. If the students are satisfied with this, they will miss the real test.

　　 So the question is, how do I enter the ancestral land of the elves?

　　 The elves may know, but they will definitely keep this secret to the wizard.

　　 Separation, mental hypnosis, and soul control may be able to set the secrets out, but Schelling never wanted to do this anymore. His previous experience of sinking into black magic left him lingering, he finally got out of the influence of black magic, and he didn't want to fall into it again.

　　 Back in the bedroom, he summoned Dobby to his eyes.

　　 Dobby has been following him for the longest time. Dobby watched him grow up since he was a child and said that it is impossible to have no feelings in him.

　　 All this has changed after he got the soul chapter of "Abatel". He studied soul magic and found its overbearing place.

During the summer vacation, before meeting Voldemort for the first time, he used to do an experiment on Dobby, casting a soul magic that was still not proficient at the time, and planting an "unresistible" in Dobby's mind. The hint also made Dobby surrender to himself.

　　 probably started at that time, my mentality began to expand.

　　 can freely control the feelings of other people's wishes and thoughts, how can I say, it is really-cool!

　　 The feeling of being above everything else is so fascinating that people can't extricate themselves from it.

　　 I once hesitated, fell into self-doubt, and once fell into anxiety due to the rapid growth of soul magic, but what happened to Meredith happened by accident. Annoyance and guilt, which drove his determination to pursue strength, made him let go of caution and guard, and go further and further on the road of black magic...

Seeing Dobby's fanatical and absolutely loyal eyes, remembering the various pasts between himself and Dobby during his childhood, and remembering what he did to him, Schelling sighed and said softly: "Dobby, I am sorry for you... …"

　　 Dobby was a little unclear, so she just stood stupidly, waiting for Schelling's order.

　　Who knows, but what was waiting for came, Schelling raised his wand and said to him: "The soul is as before!"

　　 Dobby shook his heavy head. The whole person was swaying, and one of his weights was unstable, so he sat down on the ground.

　　 "How are you feeling, Dobby?" Xie Lin asked softly.

　　 "Dobby is okay," Dobby was still trying to adjust to the drowsiness in his head. He pointed to his head and said, "It's just a little dizzy here..."

"I have to apologize to you, Dobby," Schelling thought for a while, and decided to recruit from the ground. "I used some magic on you before, and it may have some influence on your mind, but I just solved it for you. ..."

"Master doesn't need to apologize to Dobby," Dobby widened his eyes. "Dobby actually knows that Dobby was able to be free in the first place. Although Harry Potter did it, the little master, you also secretly did not know. Be less, and then you give Dobby a job. Dobby is very grateful to you. In Dobby's heart, he always regards the little master as the real master..."

　　 House elves are a very special species, and their loyalty is not entirely in accordance with the ancient family contract. For example, Kreacher can only be loyal to certain people in the family, and choose falsehood and conspiracy to others who belong to the same family.

　　 When the house-raising elf is not really surrendering, it will do everything possible to find the language loopholes in the orders given by the nominal master. They can even secretly do some things that can be harmful to the owner without violating the owner's order, although they must punish themselves severely afterwards.

　　 There is only one way to win house elves' true loyalty, and that is to treat them kindly. Sirius in the original book died indirectly after making this mistake.

　　 Dobby said these words now, undoubtedly showing his true feelings for Schelling deep in his heart.

Schelling shook his head, "Dobby, I have been taken care of by you since I was a child, and I never forgot the things you were punished by Kakaro to help me cover up~www.wuxiaspot.com~ to get you back. Freedom is what I should do for you...As for working for you, after all, I am just using you to do things for me..."

　　 "No!" Dobby said loudly, "In Dobby's heart, the little master is a good friend of Dobby. It is Dobby's happiest and most proud thing to be able to help little master do things!"

　　 Schelling's gaze suddenly became sharp, "Dobby, do you really think so? Don't you feel angry at all when I was casting a spell on you?"

　　 "Dobby doesn't know," Dobby shook his head stubbornly, "but Dobby knows, little master, you will definitely not harm Dobby!"

　　 "Innocent!" Xie Lin sneered, his tone suddenly cold, "Then, if I cast a spell on you again, what are you going to do?"

　　 "Dobby believes the little master won't do this!" Dobby raised his chest and said without fear.

　　Dobby...you guy...

you are silly……

　　 But you are so cute...

　　 Xie Lin sighed, closed his eyes, and said quietly after a while: "Thank you, Dobby. Thank you so much."

　　 "Dobby, I need your help-note that this is a request, not an order, you can choose to refuse, I will never blame you..."

　　 "Little Master, please say," Dobby said firmly, "Dobby will do his best to help you."

　　 Schelling told Dobby about the inheritance of Hufflepuff and asked Dobby to take himself to the ancestral land of the elves. Xie Lin solemnly promised that this time he was really just for the inheritance of Hufflepuff, and he had no pretense for the other elven races living in the elven ancestral land.

　　 Dobby did not hesitate, patted his chest and agreed.
