Harry Potter and the Attack of the Squibs

Chapter 65: House Elf Liberator

But Malfoy wouldn't come back here before everything was ready, and he wouldn't say anything to Myrtle when he came back.

She was too enthusiastic.

Several people walked out of the bathroom together, and Lu Ke was still waiting for them outside.

"So your sin was that poor ghost?"

Johanna glanced at Lu Ke.

Lu Ke smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Probably because... I have a good relationship with Bloody Barro."

Johanna and Harry behind her looked at Lu Ke blankly.

Lu Ke shook his head: "Bloody Baron doesn't like those ghosts who play mischief, especially Peeves and Myrtle."

Johanna shook her head helplessly: "Is the interpersonal relationship between ghosts so complicated?"

Lu Ke could only smile helplessly.

They returned to the hall, had breakfast, and told Lu Ke what they found in the bathroom.

Lu Ke nodded and took a deep breath.

All preparations are completed.

He knew that he was dealing with a basilisk, found a way to enter the secret room, and knew how to defeat the basilisk.

All that was left was to find a rooster.

Of course, defeating the legendary basilisk in this way feels very ordinary and not legendary enough, but it doesn't matter.

Lu Ke knew that some things would definitely change.

"What we need most right now is a live rooster."

Lu Ke had already had breakfast, so now he is the only one who hasn't eaten: "I can go to the kitchen and have a look. Otherwise...if I can't find it, I have to find another way."

Harry looked at Lu Ke curiously: "Can we find someone else to send it to us?"

Lu Ke fell into silence.

He glanced at Johanna: "Does Hogwarts allow living things to be sent into the school? I have never received such a thing. I am not sure..."

Johanna sighed: "Of course not."

Lu Ke was silent for a moment: "Then... maybe we should think of a backup plan."

Hermione looked helpless: "But that's a basilisk. Apart from the crow of the rooster, almost nothing can pose a threat to it. And have you noticed? Its size increases with age. If this basilisk If it is really left by Slytherin, then it is a super terrifying behemoth!”

Lu Ke nodded silently.

This is why Dumbledore sent Fawkes the Phoenix and gave Harry the Sword of Gryffindor.

A Hogwarts headmaster wants to protect his students, no matter what he does.

So Lu Ke felt that he wouldn't gain anything in the kitchen this time.

"Be prepared for the worst..." Lu Ke shook his head: "And..."

"Don't act alone in school, pay attention to safety."

Harry and several others had different expressions, but Johanna had already hugged Hermione: "Yes, you should all understand, don't forget, the secret room has its owner."

Harry glanced at Lu Ke: "That person must be a super dangerous dark wizard, right?"

Lu Ke nodded: "You don't have to worry about him, I will find a way."

Harry nodded: "Your friend in the kitchen is the house elf?"

Lu Ke nodded: "Why do you ask this suddenly?"

Harry smiled: "I think Dobby is like them. You and the house elves are friends. Can you find a way to persuade Dobby?"

Lu Ke nodded: "This is a good idea, but I'm afraid I can't do it. If you know house elves, you will understand how special Dobby is."

Ron and Malfoy on the side looked surprised.

"More than?"

"House elf?"

Ron saw Malfoy's expression and wisely remained silent, letting Malfoy speak.

"How do you know about my house elf?"

Lu Ke glanced at Harry, then turned to face Malfoy: "We met occasionally."

Malfoy looked at Lu Ke in surprise: "What happened?"

Lu Ke shook his head: "Nothing."

Malfoy was silent for a moment, then nodded: "That's right...my father and mother didn't give him any orders, so nothing will happen."

Harry looked at Malfoy curiously: "So, what exactly is a house elf?"

Ron glanced at Malfoy, then shook his head: "The kind of servants only found in pure-blood families with money and history. They are particularly powerful and obedient."

Hermione glanced at Ron: "Servant? That must be expensive, right?"

Malfoy and Ron both looked confused: "Expensive?"

Hermione nodded: "Of course the wages of good servants are expensive. Didn't you say that only rich pure-blood families have them?"

Malfoy shook his head: "We never give money to house elves. Besides, they have no use for it. Everything they have is ours."

Hermione showed an obvious look of disgust: "So just like everything in the wizarding world, even ancient slavery has been preserved here, which is really disgusting!"

Malfoy, who was scolded severely by Hermione, looked confused: "What did I do? What is slavery?"

Hermione glared at Lu Ke: "Let you Slytherin top students tell you!"

With that she stood up and turned towards the Gryffindor table.

Johanna sighed, stood up and followed.

The two girls were sitting at the Gryffindor long table. Johanna sat next to Hermione to comfort him. At the Slytherin long table, the three boys looked at Lu Ke with blank expressions.

Lu Ke sighed: "Harry, you should know."

Harry nodded: "But I didn't know house elves were slaves."

Ron and Malfoy were still confused: "What is a slave?"

Lu Ke let out a long sigh.

He had known that Hermione would explode, but he didn't expect it to be so unexpected.

Regarding the treatment of house elves, Lu Ke felt that the big problem was not with wizards.

Just look at the house elves at Hogwarts. Their stubbornness and strength make it impossible for house elves to be changed.

Outliers like Dobby are definitely short-lived.

"Okay, please remember to apologize to Hermione seriously, and tell her that you had no idea that the house elves were in such a bad situation before, and that you are willing to do what you can to help the house elves in the future."

"Don't say anything like it's not your fault, got it?"

The three Harrys didn't actually understand, but since Lu Ke said so, they took note of it and followed it.

After class in the afternoon, Lu Ke went to the kitchen.

He was a little surprised that Johanna disappeared after class just now, and he didn't know where she went.
