The Blood Professor at Hogwarts

Dobby had a very big smile on his face, and tears of joy filled his eyes again.

"Mr. Dracula, Dobby wants wages, just to buy enough clothes for Dobby to wear! Compared with wages, Dobby still prefers work!" Dobby said, "So, Dobby is a free little Genie, sir, all Dobby needs is a Sickle a day, and a day off every month!"

"One... Sico per day?" Dracula's eyes twitched, "Your monthly salary is less than two Galleons, and you can't even afford a beautiful dress."

How could there be such a conscientious labor force in this world? I'm afraid even black-hearted capitalists in the Muggle world would not dare to squeeze their employees like this.If they dare to find out that there is such an employee, they will probably be moved to tears...

"It doesn't matter, sir, the set of clothes that Dobby is holding is enough to wear for a long time!" Dobby said very contentedly, "Dobby has already calculated that three sets of clothes are enough to wear every year! Summer and winter One set for each, one set for spring and autumn!"

"So what you call getting dressed...is simply looking for a suit of clothes to wear, instead of wanting to change into better-looking new clothes?" Hearing Dobby's miraculous speech, Dracula became more and more helpless.

"Of course, house-elves don't need those nice clothes!" Dobby said confidently. "Dobby can wear a pillowcase for years!"

"I can't satisfy your request." Dracula shook his head, "What kind of salary is a silver a day? If this gets out, people might think that I'm that kind of stingy, evil capitalist...you make me lose face Where to put it?"

"Well, according to your conditions, replace Sico with Galleons, and the wages of one Galleon a day." He calculated a little, and changed a condition that he thought was not good, "As for rest days, you can pay with Huo Gewartz's students are the same, weekends and weekends, is this acceptable?"

"Calculation like this... seven galleons a week, two days off?" Dobby counted on his fingers for a long time, then suddenly shivered, "so much money and vacation time... this is too scary!"

"Seven Galleons a week is too much..." Dracula was silent for a moment, and then said, "Do you know, Dobby, if your salary is a little less and your holidays are deducted, you will be the same as those who are free. There's not much difference between the house-elves."

"But... Dobby was originally a free house elf..." Dobby stared at Dracula in front of him with big green eyes in a daze.

Degu stretched his hand to hold his forehead.

Free and freedom are the same word, "free", Dobby understood Dracula's free house elf as a free house elf.

"Mr. Dracula, it's not that Dobby wants to bargain, but that you gave too much!" Dobby seemed to see that Dracula had nothing to say, and explained flatteringly, "Sir... Dobby Likes freedom, but Dobby doesn't want too much freedom. Dobby prefers work!"

It would be better if Dobby didn't explain, but explaining it made Dracula completely helpless.

It can only be said that even for a progressive elf like Dobby in the magic world, it is not a matter of one day if he wants to escape the thought confinement of the house elves.

Others bargain with the boss because they want to raise wages and increase vacation time.It's better for Dobby, instead, he lowers his salary, and compresses his vacation as much as he can. If he can't achieve his idea, he will be in a hurry with you...

"Okay, the treatment is up to you." Dracula waved his hand and drove the speechless house elf out of the office, "You can go to Gryffindor's dormitory, and I will worship you Apologize to the great Harry Potter!"

……

Since the day of the first Quidditch match in November, Hogwarts has had an extra house-elf who needs a wage.

Although the wages he needs are not the same for Dracula...

Dracula directly threw a large bag of Galleons to Dobby, covering his wages for more than 20 years.

Dobby was horrified at receiving so much wealth all at once, so he returned the gold coins to Dracula.He only left two Galleons for himself, which meant that he had a month plus

Another four days' wages alone.

The house-elf is also worthy of being a good housekeeper, keeping Dracula's office in good order.

After becoming a professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts and getting such an office, Dracula never bothered to arrange and organize it. Basically, after seeing the mess inside, he used a cleaning spell to remove the dust in the office. , and then continue to let it maintain that "messy beauty".

As for the decoration in the office, Dracula did not make much modification.

He just used transfiguration to turn the curtains into thick black curtains to block out the sunlight that may come in during the day; he hung a few bats that looked like specimens but were actually alive and well at the door of the office for the office. Provide a guard to prevent someone from sneaking in.

There was not much other furniture and such—a desk, two soft armchairs, a comfortable sofa, a bookshelf with few books on it, a wine rack for wine, a A sugar rack for lollipops was added later, and there was a big bed.

And after Dobby took over the management of the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor's office, there have been earth-shaking changes here.

The desks and bookshelves have become neat and tidy, there is no wrinkle on the bed, and every corner of the office is spotless.

Dobby also deliberately added a lot of decorations to the spare space in the office with the funds Dracula gave him for purchases according to Dracula's preferences——

Such as the black gothic coffee table, the large vase carved with devil wings, the towering dark clock, the crystal lamp decorated like a moon...

After the furniture was laid, Dobby found that a corner of the office was still vacant, so he planted a few bright red flowers watered with blood.

This is a flower that came from the ancient magic world in the Himalayas. The Sanskrit name seems to be Manjusawa. When it blooms, it has no leaves. The petals are as bright red as blood, and it is stained with a coquettish temperament.

Dobby has been taking care of Malfoy Manor for a long time, and he is very good at growing flowers with magic.He thought that this kind of strange flowers fit Dracula's temperament very well, so he cultivated them well with great care.

As Dracula's new housekeeper, Dobby has been taking care of Dracula's office very carefully.

But it only took him a week to do the shopping, clean up and decorate Dracula's office.

Then Dobby was free.

In the past, he not only had to rely on his own house elf to take care of the entire huge Malfoy manor, but also accepted various accusations and various temporary orders from the Malfoy couple.

Even so, Dobby was still able to find time to sneak out and "rescue" Harry Potter from the threat of the Dark Lord...

It is conceivable how efficient his work is.

Now it was only within the scope of an office, and even with the additional work of Defense Against the Dark Arts classrooms and dueling clubs, Dobby still felt bored.

When he didn't have enough work, Dobby felt a deep sense of guilt, thinking that this kind of lazy life was not what a qualified house-elf should enjoy.

So, he slipped into the kitchen in the basement of Hogwarts Castle to help other house-elves working at Hogwarts...

"Buddy, let me tell you, I'm definitely the most successful house-elf right now!" In the Hogwarts kitchen, Dobby was washing the dishes while holding his head upright to the house-elf he just met next to him. Elf showing off.

"Why do you say that?" Buddy, the house-elf working in the kitchen, asked curiously.

"Because I'm a house-elf with my own wages!" Dobby said proudly, "I can earn 30 silver Sickles a month, which means that in less than half a year, I can buy a house-elf with my own money." Get dressed!"

"What?!" Buddy showed a terrified expression, and moved a few steps to the side, as if he didn't want to stand with Dobby, "Who is your master who can make you fall to the point of getting paid? Buddy really Shame on you!"

"Come on, Buddy, don't you want to wear a new suit?" Dobby asked. "Earning wages means we can buy clothes with our own money."

to clothes! "

Dobby's topic about buying clothes by himself finally aroused Buddy's curiosity. He suppressed the unreal feeling in his heart and asked:

"So why does your master pay you, Dobby?"

"Because Dobby has no master, Dobby is a free house-elf!" said Dobby, "Mr. Dracula hired me, and he paid me to work for him."

"Mr. Dracula is truly the greatest person I've ever met, he's willing to pay house elves and even give them vacations!"

"What?!" Buddy was shocked, his hands shook violently, and he smashed the plate on the ground, "You said you have no master, but a free house elf?!"

"And you still have a vacation? How can you be the most successful house-elf? You are clearly a shame to house-elves!"

Buddy's piercing screams caught the attention of all the house-elves in the kitchen.

The head elf in the kitchen was chopping vegetables, but when he heard Buddy's voice, his expression darkened.

Holding the bloody kitchen knife after cutting the meat, the head elf stepped forward and grabbed Dobby's arm, forcing him out of the kitchen door.

"Our Hogwarts kitchens don't need the help of a depraved house-elf like you!" he said viciously.

The kitchen door slammed shut with a bang.

After getting rid of Voldemort's problems and returning to his normal school life, the extremely boring Lord Vampire Earl recently found a new pleasure——

That is to remotely observe the actions of the house elf Dobby through the monitoring function of the Hogwarts title deed.Watching him go around preaching the beauty of freedom to other elves, guessing he'd be kicked out by his fellow house elves in a few minutes.

According to Dracula's observations, Dobby had been in the Hogwarts kitchen for quite a long time by comparison.

In order to work, this progressive house-elf went to the infirmary of Hogwarts school, the astronomy tower, the owl tower, the castle dungeon, Professor Sprout's greenhouse and other places to participate in the work of the house-elf. Hogwarts kind help.

But Dobby would often be kicked out by the house-elf supervisor on duty before he could work a day.

The fastest time for Dobby to be kicked out was achieved while cleaning the Slytherin common room - it only took him 2 minutes, and the conservative elves loyal to Slytherin College noticed him as soon as he opened his mouth No, I kicked him out immediately...

"Bang" sounded.

This is the signature sound that stands for Apparition.

Dracula looked up from the Hogwarts title deed on the desk, and looked at Dobby who looked lonely.

"Squeezed out by other house-elves?" he asked with interest.

"Other house-elves don't want to work with Dobby, they think Dobby is a fallen elf..." Dobby said sadly, wiping away tears, "They...they think house-elves without masters are Evil, unreasonable heresy."

"It's normal, after all, you are the first house elf to eat a tomato." Dracula chuckled and peeled off a blood-flavored lollipop, leaning on the soft back of the chair, "The first attempt People with new things will always be tabooed by their peers.”

"Mr. Dracula, but Dobby doesn't eat tomatoes..." Dobby wiped his eyes and said with some confusion, "And... why are elves who eat tomatoes tabooed by their peers?"

The words Dracula wanted to say stuck in his throat, and he almost swallowed the lollipop in one gulp.

"Ahem... the tomato is actually just a metaphor, it's not important." Dracula coughed up the lollipop, and looked at Dobby helplessly, "The "first person to eat a tomato" is a An idiomatic term used to describe the first person who dares to do something."

"But, is there anyone who dare not eat such a normal thing as a tomato? The first person who dares to eat a tomato shouldn't be so amazing, right?" Dobby asked in surprise.

Then, the elf seemed to think of something suddenly, and began to wipe away tears again, "Dobby knows, Mr. Dracula must also think that Dobby is a degenerate, evil house elf, so use things like tomatoes Describe Dobby..."

"..."

Dracula's words froze again.

"If you think about it so much, I'll give you a raise, Dobby!" He gritted his teeth and bit the candy into pieces with his sharp teeth, then gave Dobby a cold look, "I told you, this is just An idiom, it doesn’t have the meaning of those that have nothing!”

Dobby was so frightened that he couldn't cry immediately.

He hastily wiped his hands on the big eyeballs a few times to wipe away the tears, subconsciously wanting to dry his wet hands on his clothes.

However, he soon discovered that he was no longer wearing the dirty old pillowcase, but an exquisite small dress suit.

Dobby immediately withdrew his wet hands and put them behind his back in a daze.

"Mr. Dracula, you can scold me, but you must not give me a salary increase!" Dobby said pitifully, "The salary increase is terrible!"

Dracula rubbed his eyebrows and sighed.

"Forget it, it's embarrassing for you, after all, these sayings are not commonly used in the magic world." He explained, "In Europe, many muggles and a small number of wizards often use tomatoes as a metaphor for the first person to take action." warriors."

"In addition, as far as I know, unlike the terminology in Europe, the East prefers to use "the first to eat crabs."

people" as a description."

"Well, I'll tell you the story about the first man to eat a tomato—"

Dobby hurriedly moved a small stool and sat in front of Dracula's desk, and began to listen carefully.
