A Genius in a Second to Remember Love? The Internet provides you with exciting novels to read.
Elwyn could not remember how he walked out of the office. He only knew that his back was drenched in cold sweat.
Dumbledore was too scary. He might not have any malicious intentions, but it did not feel good to have no secrets to speak of.
Elwyn made up his mind. He must learn the Brain Occlusion as soon as possible.
At that moment, there was no one else in the school corridor other than him, but it was very lively.
No one knew who leaked the news, but all the portraits were discussing what had happened in the secret room, and it was almost the same as the real situation. After seeing Elwyn, every portrait stopped him curiously, hoping that he could tell them how he and Harry defeated the snake monster.
Elwyn did not pay attention to these portraits, and walked straight to the school hospital.
The next second, there was a bang. Dobby, the house-elf, suddenly appeared in front of him.
"Sir, Dobby is free. Harry Potter freed Dobby. He asked his master to give Dobby a sock. He is greater than Dobby ever knew!" The elf said in a shrill voice. His eyes were wide open and filled with tears.
"Congratulations, Dobby!" Elwyn said softly. He saw that Dobby was wearing Harry's sticky sock on his right foot.
"Thank you!" Dobby's throat made a very loud choking sound. "Sir, Dobby heard from Miss Hermione Granger that you have something to talk to Dobby about?"
"I do have something to ask you." Elwyn nodded, and quickly asked, "Dobby, now that you are free, what are your plans?"
"Dobby has thought about it, sir! Dobby likes freedom, but he also likes to work. Dobby needs a job, and he needs to work to get paid, "the elf said, and suddenly became a little disappointed." But it will be very difficult, sir! I am afraid that people will not be willing to pay Dobby. This is not in line with the quality of a house-elf. "
Dobby's voice became lower and lower, and there was not a trace of the joy he had at the beginning.
"In fact, I have a job that suits you, and I'm willing to pay you. I just don't know if you're willing to take it."
Elwyn had it all figured out. The printing of the Hogwarts Magic Newspaper was getting bigger and bigger, and the few of them would not be able to keep up with it. Also, it was almost summer vacation, and he could not use magic freely like he did now. He needed the help of a professional wizard or an intelligent magical creature, and Dobby just happened to meet all the requirements.
A house-elf might not be able to write articles, edit manuscripts, or review manuscripts, but it was completely competent in other aspects such as news gathering, newspaper printing, and so on.
Hearing that Elwyn was willing to spend money to hire him, Dobby was so excited that he burst into tears. He stretched out his arms and hugged Elwyn's waist tightly. In Dobby's eyes, Elwyn's image was instantly upgraded from Harry Potter's great friend to someone as great as Harry Potter.
Just like that, Dobby became the first full-time employee of the Hogwarts Magic Newspaper.
Considering the huge workload, Elwyn had originally planned to give him ten gold coins a week and a holiday on the weekends. But Dobby would not agree no matter what. He thought that having so much wealth and leisure time was very scary. He bargained with Elwyn, and the final salary was set at four gold coins a month and a day off.
In addition, Dobby also took on other personal services for Elwyn, like a servant. If Malfoy knew about this, he would probably faint from anger.
After settling Dobby's matter, Elwyn went to the school hospital. With the help of Madam Pomfrey's sleeping potion, he had a good night's sleep.
It was not until the next morning that he woke up.
The bed next to Lockhart was already empty. According to Ron, he had been transferred to St. Mungo's Magic Hospital in the morning due to serious injuries caused by the Amnesia Curse.
It was said that Dumbledore had just come to see them. Everyone saw that Elwyn was sleeping, so they did not wake him up. Looking at Harry's expression, Elwyn knew that Dumbledore must have talked to him alone. How could he describe this expression? It could only be said that the brainwashing was very successful.
Other than that, Ron had completely returned to normal. He was no longer as depressed as before.
The three of them ate the lunch specially prepared by Madam Pomfrey. Ron told them about how he was controlled by Tom Liddell. Harry told him about the two battles that happened in the common lounge and the secret room in detail.
As soon as Harry finished, Hermione, Corin, and Ginny walked into the ward.
They brought good news and bad news. The good news was that during breakfast, Dumbledore added 200 points to each of them. This allowed Gryffindor Academy to rise from the bottom to first place. It seemed that this year's School Cup would still belong to them.
The bad news was that because of the secret room, the school announced that they had cancelled this year's Quidditch competition and final exams. This made Harry and Hermione very depressed. This was indeed very bad news for the two of them.
The few of them chatted for a while. Just as Elwyn was about to tell them about the secret treasure left behind by the Big Four, he suddenly saw Ron's pet rat Spotty come over. He stopped abruptly. He could not let Peter Pettigrew know about this.
"Why did you stop, Elwyn!" Ron said curiously. "What did you find in Slytherin's statue?"
"Something related to the snake monster. It's not a big deal." Elwyn glanced at Spotty and decided to keep the matter a secret for the time being.
When it was almost dinner time, Cornel Foggy came to school with the Special Contribution Award and Hagrid's pardon. Elwyn asked Corin to take a few photos of them, especially telling Ron to put Spotty in an obvious position.
Filch then carefully took the trophy to the prize room for safekeeping. Elwyn combined the photos just now and the picture of the snake monster taken by Corin in the common room to write an article about the secret room.
In addition to being the headline of the latest issue of the Hogwarts Magic Newspaper, the Daily Prophet would also be very interested in it.
If Foggy brought the newspaper into Azkaban and showed it to Sirius Black, it would be even more interesting! It wouldn't be long before the Ministry of Magic would be busy with Blake's prison break.
The rest of the semester was spent in a dazzling sunshine.
The Hogwarts returned to normal, with only a few small changes. The Defense Against Dark Magic class was canceled, Lucius Malfoy was expelled from the school board, and Draco no longer walked around the school with his head held high as if he was the owner. On the contrary, he now had a gloomy face all day, as if his heart was filled with resentment.
After the Mandrake Grass matured, the students who had been petrified recovered smoothly. The Hogwarts Magic Newspaper also returned to its peak sales before the secret room. Elwyn had to worry about finding a new selling point to replace Lockhart's novel.
The section on the character's style was now replaced by an introduction to Hagrid. As an excellent supplement to the secret room incident, everyone was very interested in his experiences over the years.
As for the novel section, Elwyn finally decided to write it himself. He borrowed Lockhart's complete works from Hermione, imitated his style, and wrote a book called Me and the Basilisk in the Hogwarts. It was an unexpected success, and many fans wrote to him every day.
Fortunately, Elwyn found Dobby for help, or he would have been very busy.
In the blink of an eye, the semester was over, and they had to take the Hogwarts express train home.
Elwyn, Harry, Ron, Hermione, Corin, Fred, George, and Ginny occupied a separate compartment. They made full use of the last few hours allowed to use magic before the holidays. They played wizard cards, and Fred and George set off their last few painstakingly plucked fireworks.
Ginny told them that Percy and Ravenclaw's prefect, Penello, were secretly dating. She saw them kissing in an empty classroom on Halloween night, which surprised everyone. However, this also explained why Elwyn always felt that Ginny was hiding something from him, and why Percy was so abnormal and sad after Penello was petrified, and why he kept running to the school's hospital.
The Hogwarts express train gradually slowed down. Harry wrote down the Dursleys' phone number for them, but Elwyn doubted that Harry's aunt and uncle would be willing to receive a call from a wizard.
Just as Harry said to Ron, if they heard that Harry had almost died many times, but had actually escaped death, they would definitely be furious!
