a certain scientific harry potter

In short, Lucius' trick did not succeed, and the Grangers didn't know what happened. This is the luck of luck.

Of course, Harry wouldn't just tell his parents about it, and just let them pretend nothing happened.

As for the scourge of Lucius Malfoy, after he has a proper plan, he will naturally find an opportunity to deal with this guy.

"Dobby, how are you doing during the time we've been apart?"

After the story of Lucius temporarily changed, Harry couldn't help but start to care about Dobby's own situation.

"To be honest, it's not very good, sir..." Dobby's voice quietly became a little depressed when he mentioned his situation, "Dobby has indeed enjoyed freedom and seen a lot of things, but Dobby also knows that life like this It can't last long... But Dobby found that he couldn't find a job."

"Can't find a job?" Harry couldn't help but wonder, "Is it because you were fired by the master?"

It is indeed difficult for ordinary house elves to find a new family if they are expelled, but in Harry's view, with Dobby's ability, there should be many families who like him.

"That's not all, sir..." Dobby whispered, "There are some wizards who are willing to give Dobby a job, but in the end they couldn't negotiate because... Dobby wanted a reward."

"Remuneration?!" Harry was suddenly taken aback.

"That's right... Dobby also knows that his own thoughts must be very bad in the eyes of others... sir?"

Dobby was a little frustrated at first, but he soon realized that Harry was actually looking at him with a look of understanding and relief.

"I'm glad you can come up with such an idea, Dobby," Harry smiled and patted Dobby on the shoulder, "No matter what kind of creature it is, it has the right to be paid a fair reward for its labor, and house elves naturally No exception. So for your idea, I fully support it."

"Really? Thank you sir! Dobby knew that a person as good as sir would definitely support Dobby's ideas!"

Hearing that Haricon supported him, the elf jumped up and down happily in the room.

Seeing his happy look, Harry couldn't help showing a knowing smile.

This world is of course unequal, and even Harry is doing unequal things... such as enslaving the centaur and the freedom of the eight-eyed spider.

But for a life that can think, he can have the idea of ​​pursuing equality and yearning for freedom.

Especially house elves, since they were completely controlled by wizards, they have never had this kind of yearning, and at the same time, they even regard behaviors such as not actively working and receiving remuneration as a great shame.

Among them, the typical one Harry has seen is the house-elf in the Hogwarts kitchen.

Compared with Dobby, they are simply the other extreme.

If someone gave these house-elves a piece of clothing, they would certainly not show any gratitude, but would probably stare and yell if they wanted to punish themselves.

Therefore, the problem faced by the house-elves is not just the abuse they have received. The biggest crux of their status that cannot be changed is that they agree with this abuse from the bottom of their hearts!

"Dobby, I have an idea, do you want to think about it?" When Dobby was in high spirits, Harry suddenly suggested, "From now on, you can stay at my house. I can give you a job, The content is mainly to protect the safety of my parents. Of course, I will definitely pay you accordingly~"

"No...it's not good, sir!" Hearing that Harry was going to give him a job, Dobby's first reaction was not to be happy, but to refuse anxiously, "Dobby did these things willingly! It's because Dobby will Mr. As a friend, that's why I'm willing to stay at your husband's house to do these things... Dobby thinks that you can't ask for a reward for helping a friend."

"Dobby, I appreciate you saying that, but we are thinking completely different things." Harry shook his head, and seriously explained what he really meant to Dobby, "Working for friends is also work, according to your Willing, as long as you work, you should be paid, so of course I will pay you. What I really want to tell you is that I hope you can stay in my house all the time, not just as an elf who comes to work to make money, But as a member of the Granger family!"

"Sir, you... what do you mean?" After hearing Harry's words, Dobby was stunned for a moment.

He felt that Harry's so-called 'member of the family' should be different from what he had thought before.

"It's very simple, I am willing to provide you with a paid job, but your identity is not an elf to be summoned, but a member with equal status in the family, and no one in this family is your master. "

Harry looked into Dobby's eyes and said with a sincere smile: "When one day, you don't want to take on this job anymore, you can also do other things you are interested in. However, this is still your home, we You are welcome to stay and become our family... If possible, I even hope that you will agree to accept the same last name as mine!"

"No...that's unbelievable! Sir, did you just say...you're going to give Dobby a last name?!"

After saying this, Dobby felt that he was going crazy!

As an expelled house-elf, he thought he was deviant enough to ask for a paycheck, but Harry was a lot crazier than he was!

surname...

They've never had such a thing since their race was subjugated by wizards in ancient times and eventually named house-elves.

But Harry Granger, who Dobby has always regarded as a friend from the bottom of his heart, not only is he willing to satisfy Dobby's whimsical desire for paid work, he is even willing to make him a real family member and give him a last name!

This feeling... is like a dream.

"How about it, do you want to try it?" Harry chuckled and put his hand on Dobby's head, "Dobby Granger, I think this name is pretty good. So why don't you think about it and become a Unprecedented… elf with both pay and surname?"

"Dobby...Dobby Willing!!"

Dobi nodded his head heavily, and big tears rolled out of his eyes, dripping on the floor like broken threads, and soon a small spray appeared.

However, he didn't wipe it off. Instead, he grinned hard, revealing a smile that was uglier than crying but extremely sincere.

"Dobby... Dobby is so happy! From today, Dobby has a new name, Dobby Granger!"

Chapter 240 When you go abroad, you can meet acquaintances of acquaintances

When mentioning France, most people will immediately think of romance, artistic red wine and French cuisine.

At the same time, some famous landmarks will subconsciously come to mind, such as the Seine, the Louvre, Notre Dame, the Arc de Triomphe, the Champs Elysees and most importantly, the Eiffel Tower.

Coincidentally, the above places are all in Paris, so the Granger family's so-called trip to France is actually a trip to Paris.

But this is also something that can't be helped, who made them unable to speak the language and go to farther places at all.

"We should really learn French before we come here..."

Standing on the streets of Paris, looking at the Eiffel Tower from all angles, listening to Mr. Granger's heartfelt emotions, Harry felt like a good guy.

I don't know who said it in the previous life, but if you learn English well, you can travel all over Europe without worrying... Harry really wanted to arrest that man and throw him on the streets of Paris so that he could experience it for himself.

Perhaps out of a sense of national pride, the Grangers made the same cognitive mistake as Harry before the trip, thinking that they could travel freely in France with their fluent English.

But they never thought that they would hit a wall when they got off the plane and entered the country.

The little customs officer in charge of the security check used fluent French to make the Granger family say four (five) faces, and had to switch to English with a strong accent, and persuaded the Granger family with earnestness...

'If you really don't speak any French, you'd better not leave Paris~'

Regarding this kindness, the Granger family, to be precise, Hermione must have been quite unconvinced at first, but after walking around the streets of Paris, she had to admit that sometimes people still have to listen to persuasion.

The locals they met in Paris could basically understand English, but when these enthusiastic French people spoke, the Granger family couldn't understand what they were saying at all.

It was not until they wandered around Paris for a few days that they had a general understanding of the local life and language habits.

To put it bluntly, the overall English level in France is definitely the bottom in Europe. The average local people really seldom speak English, and even if they do, they will have a strong French accent, which makes people unable to hear it at all. clear.

And this is still in Paris, the city with the most developed tourism industry and the most foreign tourists. It is conceivable that if you continue to go deeper and try to understand some French village customs, you will definitely be making yourself guilty.

Harry reckoned that if they really left a bustling city like Paris, it might be difficult for their family to go to a roadside restaurant to order food.

"But that's good too!" A shrill voice sounded from Mr. Granger's pocket, "Dobby hasn't even turned to England much, and now he can go abroad, it's simply amazing!"

That's right, the Granger family's trip this time is a five-person trip. Since Harry has given Dobby a surname, he must be brought with him when they go out to play together...Anyway, the elf doesn't need to buy an extra ticket, Just shrunk and put it in your pocket.

Dobby was definitely the most excited during his time in Paris, because he had no way to understand this exotic style before. It can be said that every scenic spot is absolutely new to him.

This also made him more convinced that Harry kept him at Granger's house because he really wanted to accept him as a family member, and absolutely had no intention of continuing to treat him as a house elf.

"Heh, two underage wizards are actually taking their parents and house elves out together. You are really bold."

However, when the family was happily swimming in the street and discussing where to check in today, a voice suddenly floated over and everyone was startled.

The uninvited guest was an old man in a windbreaker and top hat. He looked very old, but he was still hale and hearty. Apart from his loud voice, he was also strong and burly.

And most importantly, he spoke English with a perfect Cockney accent.

"Relax, I don't mean anything malicious, I just want to remind you that there are also many wizards on the streets of Paris, and a simple shrinking spell can't hide their eyes."

While speaking, the old man raised his top hat, revealing his gray hair.

But for some reason, although he seemed to be expressing goodwill, his tone of voice always gave people a sense of calm and prestige, as if he had experienced blood and fire when he was young.

"Who are you?" Hermione stood in front of her parents with a tense expression, and she also noticed that the other party was a powerful character.

"Who am I... Do you want to guess?" A kind smile appeared on the old man's face, "Give me some hints, among the people you know, there are guys who are very familiar with me."

"Hey, it's the same as if I didn't say this reminder."

Hermione rolled her eyes speechlessly, the people she knew knew him very well, this is simply nonsense, okay~

"First of all, Dobby is a member of our family, not a house-elf. Also... I think I should call you Mr. Scamander."

However, after some speculation, Harry seemed to already know the identity of the other party.

"Oh, how did you see that?" The old man seemed a little surprised, but he didn't deny Harry's guess.

"When I visited Scamander's house, I once saw a photo of him and you in middle age. Using that photo as a reference, after the people in the photo continue to age , should be similar to your current image."

Harry explained with confidence: "Since you asked us to guess, it must not be someone who is too far away. Combining your age and accent, I finally confirmed my judgment...you should be Scamander Sir's brother."

"It's a very good guess. It's just like what he said. You are really an amazing kid." Looking at Harry who was talking in front of him, the old man smiled with satisfaction, "Let me introduce myself, I am Theseus Scamander, that Newt you knew who always wanted you as his son was my own brother."

"Sure enough..." Harry nodded lightly when he heard the words, "So you came here specially to find me?"

"That's right, but we can talk about specific matters after dinner." Theseus made a gentlemanly gift to the Granger family, "I booked a restaurant with a pretty good reputation here, Harry It is rare for you and your family to come to France, but you must let me entertain you~"

"Then thank you very much." Harry turned around and gestured to his family, and then agreed to the other party's invitation.

When it comes to things in the wizarding world, the whole family will hand over the decision-making power to Harry, which is already the consensus of the Granger family.

"Ha, that's really great!" When Theseus heard Harry agree, he happily stepped forward and gave him a warm hug.

"Cough... please, can you let go quickly?" Harry struggled to push the other person's body, his expression gradually becoming painful.

There is one thing to say, theseus Scamander's hand strength is really not ordinary~

Chapter 240 The Savior Doesn't Deserve Summer Vacation

The elderly wizard who 'met' with Harry on the streets of France, Theseus Scamander, is the brother of Newt Scamander and a powerful wizard with an extremely gorgeous resume.

He participated in the First World War, and instead of being held accountable for violating the "International Statute of Secrecy" after the war, he became a war hero in the entire British magic community.

When Newt's career had just started and he published his first book at the age of 30, Theseus had even become the head of the Auror Office of the British Ministry of Magic, and it can be said that he was definitely the leader of young wizards.

And his most legendary experience was as one of the frontline commanders who led the once sensational global wizard war, and finally defeated the dark wizard Gellert Grindelwald who was trying to rule the whole of Europe at that time!

After completely disintegrating Grindelwald's influence, Theseus' reputation in England had reached its peak, but he flatly rejected the position of Minister of Magic, moved to France instead, and made great strides all the way after restarting, finally ascending to the It has reached the pinnacle of the French magic world.

In other words, there was a time when the head of the French Ministry of Magic was an out-and-out Englishman!

Speaking of this kind of thing, no matter who will think it is a fantasy, but they just did it.

There is no doubt that Theseus Scamander is a super genius who has opened up the magic circles of Britain and France at the same time.

"That war was barely led by me, but Grindelwald was not defeated by me, otherwise I would be the greatest white wizard of our time, not Dumbledore."

Theseus seemed to be a very easy-going person. His experiences were all told during the chat with the Granger family after the meal, and he didn't seem to care too much...

By the way, this is considered a woolly easy-going, this is definitely an old Versailles, okay?

Who in a normal person would tell his past like a resume when they met for the first time!

But looking at the complacent expression on the other side, Harry didn't find it very annoying. After all, Theseus could pick up any of these experiences for a lifetime, but he did it all by himself.

And Harry could also see that the other party was only half-jokingly 'showing off' because there was a relationship between him and his brother.

"Yeah, I fully understand that Mr. Scamander, who is far away in England, does have an incomparable elder brother."

"Hahaha, you think so too, right~"

Look, this is what he was actually waiting for.

Harry: Brother-in-law, bah~

"So, what's the matter with you coming to see me this time?"

Seeing that Theseus was satisfied, Harry could finally ask him about his visit.

"I came to see you because someone knew that you came to Paris, so I wanted to see you." Speaking of business, Theseus' expression became a little embarrassed, "Of course, his real purpose is not only to see you , it’s just that you are enjoying your trip with your family now, and his request may be somewhat disappointing.”

"Disappointing...isn't it, is it possible to have a repeat of last summer vacation?"

Harry frowned in confusion, he had already understood the real purpose of Theseus' visit.

The so-called meeting him really meant that...someone wanted to keep Harry in Paris.

And that person's purpose, most likely, should be the same as last year's Scamander, to teach himself something during the holiday.

Therefore, a hard-working 'savior' like myself does not deserve to have a life like summer vacation at all.

"Son, I know this isn't fair to you, but you really don't have much time to spend right now." Seeing that Harry had already guessed his purpose, Theseus simply said, "I want to take on the responsibility of being the savior." , Your current strength is far from enough. Before the Dark Lord who is about to make a comeback is completely defeated, any form of relaxation may be a luxury for you."
