Chapter 200： Take the house and take the servant

With excitement, Mike pushed open the wooden door and entered the room.

I saw Professor Flitwick in the room talking to the old white beard. When they saw Mike came, they stopped talking and looked over together.

"Mike, let me introduce you." Professor Flivy said with a smile. "This is the veteran of our Raven's Nest, Randall Woodcutt."

Mike nodded at Randall and greeted respectfully.

"Hehehe, what a wonderful kid." Randall couldn't see his smiling eyes. He pointed to a large sofa in the room and said, "Come on, stop standing, sit down."

Mike was also welcome, and sat down with Flitwick.

Only then did the conversation really enter the subject, and I saw Randall's little brown eyes constantly looking at Mike, and then said after a long time:

"Mike, I want to thank you on behalf of all the members of Ravenclaw College, thank you for retrieving the long-lost crown. Maybe a little wizard like you can't understand what it means to us, but we can't take it for it. Your cheap."

Randall said there was a pause. After carefully observing Mike's expression, he saw that there was nothing wrong before he said:

"So after discussion, we decided to give you two house elves."

After that, Randall stretched out his hands like chicken feet and snapped his fingers in the air, and then two house elves appeared in front of Mike.

The two house elves are very similar in height and body shape, and they are also very similar in dress. They both wear pure white pillowcases without any signs. Unlike the dirty look of the house elves in Mike's impression, the bodies of these two house elves are very clean, and even the pillowcases they wear as clothes are spotless.

And they also wore berets on their heads. The one on the left was wearing a red and black plaid pattern made of woolen cloth, and the one on the right was the same as the one on the left except that the pattern was black and white.

These two berets are very new, if Mike didn't guess wrong, they should have been given to them by their owner not long ago.

(There is an implicit contract between house elves and wizards. If a wizard wants to give freedom to the house elves he owns, he only needs to give it a piece of clothing. The clothing mentioned here includes Very wide, from a handkerchief to a tablecloth curtain.

In history, there are very few cases of voluntary termination of contract with house elves. On the one hand, wizards are unwilling to lose such a free labor; on the other hand, freedom is a sin for house elves. The gift of clothes by the owner is like exile to them. )

As soon as the two house elves appeared in the room, they bowed deeply to Mike for a long time. They directly put their huge heads on the ground, making a dull sound of the wooden floor colliding with their foreheads. .

"These are twin brothers, only 10 years old this year. The brother in the red and black hat is called Shuke, and the one in the black and white hat is Beta. From now on you will be their master."

Randall introduced the two house elves to Mike, and the two little guys immediately raised their heads and looked at Mike in surprise. In their house elves society, a house without a master The elves are the shame of all elves and should commit suicide immediately. So these two little guys were very happy after hearing that they had a new owner so soon.

"Master! I am Beta, I know everything, and I promise not to disappoint you."

The house elf in the black and white hat roared and began to show his loyalty, while Shuke beside it was calmer, not as impulsive as his brother, but bowed to Mike again.

"Well, you go down first, we still have business affairs to discuss."

Randall waved his hand and gave orders to Shuke and Beta. However, surprisingly, Shuke and Beta, who had obeyed Randall's words before, did not obey his orders. They just looked at him with questioning eyes. Mike.

Mike naturally understood what the situation was. Shuke and Beta were now their own house elves, and naturally they would not continue to obey Landerton's orders.

So Mike nodded slightly towards Shuke and Beta, which made them disappear into the room again.

Randall wasn't annoyed when he saw it, his hot temper after living for so long had long since faded, not to mention that the house elf itself was such a rigid creature, and he couldn't commit anger because of such a trivial matter.

Seeing that the two house elves had disappeared, Randall smiled and took out a piece of parchment and a bunch of copper keys from his arms and handed them to Mike.

Mike took it instinctively, and Randall explained when Mike was puzzled:

"Felius told me that you are looking for a house, right? Then this house will be given to you."

Hearing that Mike was taken aback, he was pleasantly surprised.

This is really a pillow when I dozed off. I was still considering whether to find someone to buy a room or build a new one. Now the Raven's Nest directly gave me a ready-made one.

After opening the parchment, it was a magic contract.

This magic contract is different from the one signed by Mike and Lockhart before. This is the highest level of magic contract, second only to the strongest and oldest contract magic: the unbreakable oath.

The contract clearly indicated that the location of the house was exactly the same as Professor Flivy's, in Godric Valley, except that the house number was 518 Godric Valley.

It seems that this is what Professor Flitwick and Randall were discussing before, and it is very likely that this house was chosen by Professor Flitwick in order to make Mike live closer to him. He can be there the first time.

Mike felt that a certain string in his heart had been touched. In the past two years, Professor Flitwick had been good to Mike. There was nothing to say. He was raising Mike as his own son. And Mike's heart was not made of stone, so he was naturally moved at this moment.

Taking a deep breath, Mike bowed deeply at Professor Flivy and thanked him. Although Mike didn’t say anything sensational, his thoughts were completely conveyed to Flivy’s heart. Let Flivy, a sentimental person, shed tears.

Randall on the side looked at all this with a smile, and then continued to say after Mike and Flitwick had calmed down:

"This house was originally a safe house set up by our Raven's Nest when Voldemort and the Death Eaters ravaged the United Kingdom. Now Voldemort is dead, and his Death Eaters have been scattered, so this safe house is also There is no need for it anymore, and it can be used as a gift to you.

Since it was once used as a safe house, the protection of this house is very good. It has not only set up a large number of defensive magic and basic Muggle expelling spells, but also applied concealment magic. This kind of concealed magic is not as good as the Courageous Faithful Curse, but it is also very good. Although it can't prevent a great wizard like Dumbledore, it is enough to defend against a general wizard.

As long as you sign your full name on this contract, then this house belongs to you, and you will have the highest authority for all the magic devices in it. "

After listening to Randall’s explanation, Mike immediately took out the black pear wood wand. This high-level magic contract cannot be written with ordinary pen and ink. It is the same as the magic signature of Gringotts as one of the withdrawal certificates. All need to use magic to write.

Since everyone's magical aura is different, this signature can be said to be unique and extremely difficult to imitate.

Mike used his wand as a pen, and magic as ink signed his name on the contract.

After Mike finished writing the last letter, the parchment suddenly ignited, and in a short while it turned into ashes and disappeared. And there is something more in Mike's mind, that is the specific address of a house.

This specific address is like the car navigation of Mike's previous life, marking all the paths that Mike will travel from where he is now to the house.

Slowly digesting the information that suddenly appeared in his mind, Mike said to Randall and Professor Flitwick that he was finished.

The matter is here. Mike's purpose of coming to the Raven Party today has been successfully completed, but the Raven Party is not over yet.

When Mike and the others walked out of the room and returned to the hall, there were still a steady stream of wizards coming in from the gate, and then happily ran to the exhibition stand in the center of the hall to see the crown.

As the great hero who recovered the crown, Mike naturally became a hot spot in the eyes of these people. People kept coming up to say hello to Mike, and said that if they encounter any difficulties in the future, they can go to them. They will definitely give Mike the greatest help.

Among them are high-ranking officials of the Ministry of Magic, direct members of ancient families, and many heirs and even patriarchs of new and new families that started from business. The strength of the Raven's Nest is evident from this.

From early morning until noon, the talents who came to greet Mike finally stopped. The Raven's Nest is a loose member mutual-aid organization, and its members are not strictly controlled.

So when it was almost time for dinner, although the raven party hadn't ended, most people left the hut in twos and threes and started activities.

This is actually not surprising. Although these people have a good relationship, they usually work all over the world. Now that they finally meet together, they naturally want to be happy.

Perhaps for them, the main purpose of coming to the raven party this time is not to see what Ravenclaw's crown is, but simply want to get together with long-lost friends.

Mike also received many invitations, but Mike declined all of them.

Because he had promised Uncle Mario to go to his house for dinner.

In the hall, Mike, who finally got rid of those grandfathers and uncles, let out a long sigh. This kind of entertainment made Mike feel very tired, even more tired than the previous battle with Cedric.

Abt, who had been waiting for a long time, saw that Mike had finally stopped, so he leaned forward and said, "Is it over? I'll go to the Ministry of Magic when it's over."

"Let's go, I'm ready."

Hearing that a smile appeared on Abbott’s face, he turned his head and shouted at Uncle Mario who was chatting with Flivy and others:

"Dad, Mike and I will go to the Ministry of Magic and go home before lunch!"

Uncle Mario obviously also knew about Dorfin's patents, and he was chatting with his old friends, so he waved his hand without looking back, and signaled Abbot to get out.

After receiving the response, Abbott quickly pulled Mike and ran out of the hut, fearing that Mike would be found by any uncle and aunt.

Since there are no fireplaces and other equipment in the raven hut, and the new Auror team leader Abbott naturally does not have a door key that can go directly to the Ministry of Magic, Abbott and Mike used the door key to return. In the manor of the Forli family, it was sent to the Ministry of Magic using the fireplace in the manor.

The British Ministry of Magic is located deep underground in Whitehall, central London. The entire Ministry of Magic has ten floors. It contains a large number of offices, courtrooms, and a Wisengamao court. It can be said that this is the center of rights for the entire British wizarding world. .

When Mike walked out of the fireplace, what appeared in front of him was a hall far more majestic than Gringotts.

The floor of the hall is a polished dark wood floor There are many gilded fireplaces on the walls on both sides, and countless wizards are lining up to enter the wall directly opposite Mike Leaving the Ministry of Magic in his fireplace, there was a steady stream of people walking out of the fireplace on Mike’s side.

It seems that the fireplace on Mike's side is dedicated to reaching the Ministry of Magic, while the one on the opposite side is dedicated to leaving.

Perhaps it was because Mike had stayed in the fireplace for too long, and there were many dissatisfied voices from the fireplace behind Mike. Mike looked back and realized that he was already overcrowded behind him, and he hurriedly gave way.

Abbott also laughed when he saw Mike's rare embarrassment, and introduced Mike:

"This is the main hall of the Ministry of Magic, located on the eighth floor. And that is our current Minister of Magic, Cornelius Fudge."

Looking along where Abbott was pointing, he saw a huge magical portrait hung over the crowd. This portrait depicts a rich middle-aged white man, who is now smiling and looking down at the people coming and going in the hall below him.

And directly below this portrait, but also in the middle of the entire hall is a huge fountain.

At the center of the fountain is a group of statues composed of wizards, witches, horsemen, fairies, and house elves. The tallest among them is a noble, handsome wizard, holding his wand pointing straight at the sky. Surrounding him is a beautiful witch, a horseman, a fairy and a house elf.

At this moment, the statues of horsemen, goblins and house elves are admiringly looking up at the two wizards. A stream of shining water jets sprays from the tip of the wizard’s wand, the horseman’s arrow and the house elves’ ears. A beautiful arc was drawn in mid-air, and finally fell into the pool.
