Days wandering around Hogwarts

Chapter 515: Relationship

Charles: "Why give it to Gabrielle?"

Dobby: "Isn't Miss Gabrielle Delacour Miss Delacour?"

Charles: "Why didn't you think of Miss Fleur Delacour?"

Dobby: "Miss Fleur Delacour is in Hogwarts Castle, and the boss is also in Hogwarts Castle. Normally, the boss will give her the Valentine's Day gift himself."

Charles: "Haven't you ever thought that I'm too busy and asked you for help?"

Dobby: "Dobby thought about it, but when Dobby saw that the gift was an ordinary cup, Dobby thought that no one would give such a gift on Valentine's Day, so Dobby thought it was a gift from the boss to Miss Gabrielle Delacour."

What Dobby said made a lot of sense, and Charles was speechless.

"Forget it." Charles shook his head. "Help me find a way to get rid of this."

In Alchemy class, Professor Delacour often demonstrated some new findings from magazines, and today was no exception.

This time they configured a bubble gum-like thing that would climb up along the stirring rod. Charles was not careful when he was demonstrating the experiment, and now his right hand is shaped like Doraemon.

He had eaten dinner with his left hand today, which was inconvenient, and Harry almost had to feed him.

This bubble gum has high magic resistance and physical resistance. It cannot be removed by ordinary spells, cannot be cut by a knife, and is not affected by fire.

I didn't dare try the Lihuo Curse, for fear that I would become too skilled at it.

Dobby snapped his fingers a few times, but there was no response.

Charles had no choice but to go to the Potions classroom.

Snape was making some extra money, and when he saw Charles come in, he asked expressionlessly, "What's up?"

Charles raised his right hand and asked, "Professor, can you help me cut off this piece of bubble gum?"

Snape glanced at the ball in Charles' right hand and almost laughed. Then he said, "I can give you a bottle of shrinking potion to make your body smaller."

Charles immediately shook his head and said, "No, there are too many students' pets in Hogwarts. It's too dangerous."

He thought that if he became smaller, not only Crookshanks but also Laifu would be able to deal with him.

So he said, "Why don't you try the Shadowless Sword and see if you can cut it off."

Snape frowned slightly and looked straight into his eyes, as if asking him with his eyes why he knew this.

Charles pointed to the bookshelf by the wall and said, "I saw it before when I was flipping through an old textbook. I knew it was written by you from the handwriting. I think the spell should be able to cut it open."

He remembered that the Shadowless Divine Sword had dark magic properties and should be able to cut through this strange bubble gum.

Snape's expression eased a little, and he said, "Put your hand over here."

Charles stretched out his right hand, and Snape cast a spell on the large ball of bubble gum.

The effect of Shenfeng Wuying was quite good, and the sphere was cut into a cube in just a few strokes.

What followed required delicate manipulation, but Snape hadn't thought about that when he was tinkering with the spell, and Charles still suffered a slight injury on the back of his hand.

Fortunately, the curse was removed and medicine was applied in time, so no scars were left.

During this time, Charles said to Snape: "Professor, you know, there is a spell that is very similar to yours."

Snape looked at him, said nothing, and waited for what to say next.

Charles continued, "But the spell is not about cutting things, but about an invisible leg kicking people."

Snape didn't want to talk.

Charles continued, "I think your spell is pretty good. If you use it skillfully, you can use it to cut potatoes."

Snape looked at him coldly for a long time, and finally said: "You look like a potato to me."

When Charles returned to Gryffindor Tower, he unexpectedly found Fleur in the downstairs corridor with a bottle of wine in her hand.

"Did you wash it off?" Furong saw that the ball was gone from Charles' right hand. "Father is really a fool. He hid all the alcohol-containing potions in the classroom in advance."

Charles was puzzled and asked, "What alcohol?" Furong said in surprise, "The bubble gum in your hand will melt when it comes into contact with alcohol. It's written at the end of the magazine article. Didn't you see it?"

Charles' face suddenly darkened, and he really didn't read the following content at that time.

"Thank you." He looked at the bottle of wine in Furong's hand, "Since there is wine, let's not waste it. Let's go have a drink together?"

Furong shook her head and said, "No, you're not old enough to drink yet."

Charles was helpless. This matter would not weigh more than 400 grams if not weighed, but it would weigh more than 1,000 pounds if weighed.

"Let's talk about it when you can drink." Furong left after saying this.

Hermione poked her head out from the shadows and said regretfully, "You two haven't spoken for a few days. I thought something was going to happen tonight and made me wait here for so long."

Charles saw her holding a tall pile of books, and it seemed that she was hiding to watch the fun on her way back from the library.

Hermione continued, "I can't believe you forgot to give Fleur a present on Valentine's Day."

Charles sighed and said helplessly: "I was busy at the time, so I asked Dobby to give the gift to Miss Delacour."

"That idiot Dobby thought I would deliver it in person at the castle, so he gave it to Gabrielle."

Hermione was also speechless.

She motioned to Charles and said, "Go to that empty room. I have something to tell you."

Charles pushed open the empty room and turned on the light inside.

Hermione put the book on an empty table, sat down beside it, and asked Charles, "Does your company still hire house elves?"

Charles was curious at first why she asked this, but soon remembered a house elf and asked, "Are you talking about Winky?"

Hermione nodded and said, "She is working at Hogwarts now, but she is in a bad mental state and is drunk all the time. The house elves around her all... hate her."

Charles nodded and said, "I've heard about that."

The house-elves at Hogwarts couldn't stand an alcoholic house-elf, which was a sign of extreme depravity.

They contacted Dobby and wanted to send Winky to the "Fallen Elf Club".

But Winky is different from those wandering elves. She has a history of being fired. According to Dobby, her three generations will not be able to work at Farbatten Castle and the Dancing Grass Restaurant.

Hermione asked Charles, "Can she come work for you?"

Charles hesitated for a moment, then said after thinking for a moment: "Dobby will be in charge of recruiting working elves. I will not interfere."

Hermione became crestfallen when she heard this.

Seeing her like this, Charles was afraid that she had gone to find Dobby.

Sure enough, Hermione said, "I asked Harry to invite Dobby. But when he heard it was about Winky, he immediately refused."

"Can you please tell Dobby? He will definitely listen to you."

Charles saw that this was indeed the case. He did not expect that Hermione would use connections, so he said, "It's ok for others, but since you came to me, I naturally cannot treat you as 'someone else'."

"I can help you make an appointment with Dobby. It will be during the next Hogsmeade week. You will have a chance to convince Dobby."

Hermione immediately laughed and said quickly, "Thank you, I will go find Dobby on time."

Charles sighed in his heart and said, "It's a good thing that you are willing to help Shanshan. What's more important is that Shanshan herself is willing to change and accept your help."

"So I suggest you have a good talk with her first."

Hermione nodded thoughtfully.

Seeing her like this, Charles asked worriedly, "You haven't talked to Shanshan, have you?"

He was speechless when he saw Hermione nod slightly. This girl was a little wishful in doing things.

Charles said, "How about this, you should talk to Winky first, and come back to me when you are ready, and I will talk to Dobby."
