In the "Crooked Horned Beast" column, Mr. Lovegood described the discovery of the century in a style that Elwyn was familiar with.
Apart from the beginning of the article that mentioned the home of the "House-Elf", the whole article was about the relationship between the Crooked Horned Beast and the ancient House-Elf, which had no practical significance. Based on Elwyn's understanding of Luna and Mr. Lovegood, it was more likely that they had made a mistake than finding the real Crooked Beast!
After all, this kind of thing had happened many times in the past.
For example, about half a year ago, Mr. Lovegood announced that he had found the footprints of the Crooked Beast, but it turned out to be the footprints of the Evasive Bird.
For a long time, apart from writing articles and doing weird experiments, Mr. Lovegood's favorite thing was to take Luna around the world, looking for traces of those illusory creatures. The two of them had been to many places, and they were all places that were inaccessible, such as virgin forests, snow-capped mountains, or ancient magic ruins.
In these fantastical trips, they had also collected and brought back a lot of "travel souvenirs."
The main reason why these souvenirs could be brought back was because, in Mr. Lovegood's opinion, they could prove the existence of those illusory creatures.
However, his ideas were basically proven to be wrong and ridiculous.
Whether it was the Crooked Beast or anything else, they were all imaginary things that did not exist.
In general, after a long period of persistent searching, Mr. Lovegood found a lot of worthless junk. Just like Mr. Weasley liked to search for all industrial products related to Muggle, even if those things were meaningless, Mr. Lovegood found almost the same thing, most of them were worthless.
If it was not because of the mention of the home of the House-Elf, this article was completely worthless garbage in Elwyn's opinion.
Reading this kind of thing was simply a waste of time.
"What did it say?" Hermione asked, coming over to read the article with Elwyn.
"The report didn't say the exact whereabouts of the House-Elf's home …" Elwyn said, tapping his fingers on the page.
At the spot where he tapped, there was a picture of a strange creature carved on a large piece of pale yellow rock. It was the "Curved Horned Beast" that Mr. Lovegood mentioned in this article, but to be honest, it looked more like a genetically mutated horned camel.
But putting aside the Curved Horned Beast, the style of the drawing on the stone slab was quite in line with the characteristics of house-elves.
Perhaps, it really was a relic left behind by an ancient house-elf.
The slate must be in Mr. Lovegood's hands now. No matter how he got it, he must know more or less where the slate is. In addition, he mentioned the "Homestead of the House-Elf" at the beginning of the article. He may have been there and found the relic left by the ancient House-Elf.
As for the fact that the article did not specify the exact location of the homestead of the house-elf, it was easy to explain.
With such an important discovery, Mr. Lovegood would definitely continue to explore the area to find more clues about the Curved Horned Beast.
"What is this? From the photo, it looks like a child's graffiti, "Hermione said.
"No, this was drawn by a house-elf. If you've seen Dobby's drawings, you'll find that they're actually very similar."
"Bad drawings always have something in common. Even if this is the style of a house-elf," Hermione said, "it doesn't mean anything …"
"It doesn't matter. We can ask Mr. Lovegood himself about all the questions in this article," Elwyn said.
Compared to staying here and carrying out a pointless search, there was no loss in talking to Mr. Lovegood and Luna.
At the same time, they could also remind them to be careful and not go on like this! Recently, Mr. Lovegood had been publicly publishing articles against Lord Voldemort and the Ministry of Magic in "Dissent". It would be naive to expect the Death Eaters to do nothing and tolerate this kind of behavior.
It was not too late to remind them now. Otherwise, if something really happened, it would be too late.
"That's settled. We'll talk to Luna's father after lunch. I remember Luna's house is near the Burrow. It's easy to find. "
"But Sirius reminded us not to go out for the time being!"
"If we're fast enough, he won't know anything. Besides, it's better to find something to do than to stay in this old house. Especially with Harry's current condition, it's really worrying. I think Luna's house is not being monitored yet. We can find a way to let Harry … "
Before Elwyn could finish his words, they heard a high-pitched and sharp voice. "Harry Potter!"
The house-elf, Dobby, woke up. He forced open his tennis ball-sized bulging eyes and looked at them with tears.
He was the one who shouted just now.
"Oh, yes, Dobby, it's great that you're awake. I mean, are you okay? "
Elwyn said as he touched Elaine with his toes.
"I'm sorry, Dobby, I shouldn't have used those books just now …" Elaine said immediately.
In order to make herself look more sincere in apologizing, she kept blinking her eyes, as if she was trying hard to cry.
"Harry Potter!" Dobby repeated.
"You're confused, Dobby. I'm Elaine, not Harry, Elaine!"
"No, Harry Potter, young master Elwyn, Harry Potter!" Dobby kept shouting Harry's name.
"Harry is lying upstairs!" Elaine said in confusion. She looked at the house-elf and turned back to look at Elwyn.
"Dobby, what's wrong with Harry?" Elwyn asked. Dobby's situation didn't seem right.
"Harry Potter is in danger. It's all Dobby's fault. Young master Elwyn must go save Harry Potter. You must hurry. Go save Harry Potter now."
"Don't worry, Dobby. Speak clearly. Did Harry leave this house?"
Dobby nodded, his protruding eyes widening even more.
"That's impossible. If Harry left, we'd definitely know," Hermione said. "We can't use Apparition here anymore."
"It's the house-elf's magic. Dobby can take Harry away." Elwyn's heart sank. He should have thought of this, but everyone overlooked it. Everyone ignored the house-elf's magic and thought it was dispensable. "Dobby, where did you take him?"
The house-elf Dobby shivered, as if he didn't dare say that name.
