……

Not long after, Mrs. Hodge blew her whistle again, and the players from both teams mounted their flying brooms, pushed off with their legs, and soared into the air once more.

Once both sides were in position, Mrs. Hodge tossed the Quaffle into the air, signaling the continuation of the match.

The game continued, and the attacks from the roaming ball also continued.

Even though Harry kept swinging his flying broomstick, flashing through the rain like lightning, he still couldn't shake off the wandering ball.

The Gryffindor team seemed to have changed their strategy, with Fred and George handling the normal ball movement without offering any assistance to Harry.

In this situation, Gryffindor finally managed to throw a ball with difficulty, scoring ten points.

……

Since the ball is still attacking, it means Dumbledore hasn't dealt with the spellcaster yet.

Vizette glanced down at the Marauder's Map every now and then and noticed that the black line was still lingering on the Quidditch pitch.

However, the black line's movements were extremely unpredictable, sometimes appearing on the northern viewing platform and sometimes on the southern platform...

He took out the bookmark to check, and soon a new line of writing appeared on the bookmark.

The spellcaster was a house-elf, but not from Hogwarts. He was likely acting under orders and did not leave in any way.

Besides being skilled at caring for people and performing various daily chores, house-elves also possess an extremely magical ability to apparition.

The area where Hogwarts is located, along with Hogsmeade Village, is actually protected by anti-Apparition magic.

However, house-elves' Apparition is unique; they can escape the restrictions of Anti-Apparition magic and move freely throughout the area.

"Is it difficult to restrict movement? That is indeed a problem." Vizet frowned slightly, pondering a solution.

Now that we've determined the other party is a house-elf, the danger level isn't that high.

Dumbledore also mentioned that the house-elf was acting under orders, which, to some extent, reduced the possibility of him leaving...

Chapter 164 Dobby Faints from Fright

A house-elf that appears and disappears without a trace; it's best to catch him now, otherwise he could cause too many problems.

Thinking of this, Vizette wrote a line on the bookmark: "Headmaster Dumbledore, lure the house-elves over to the area below the Eastern Spectator Stand. I'll try to deal with him."

Dumbledore's reply was quick and simple: "Okay!"

Vizette put the bookmark back in his pocket, and before he could say anything, Luna blurted out, "I'll go with you."

“Okay!” Vizet’s answer was simple, and she and Luna went to the edge of the stands.

Luna glanced down at the stands, her eyes sparkling, "I'm ready!"

“Me too!” Veze nodded, looked at Luna, gripped his wand tightly, and fell to the ground in unison.

In mid-air, amidst the whistling sound of the surrounding air, Vizet and Luna simultaneously raised their wands.

At the same time they approached the ground, they uttered the same incantation.

"Lawei asa!"

When Vizette was teaching Luna the Ancient Magic: Levitation Spell, the two of them were in the Pensieve, trying to slow each other's fall by chanting spells in this way.

However, due to the impact of the attack, they were unable to attempt to cast the Ancient Magic: Levitation Charm on each other in reality.

Just as they practiced in the Pensieve, a gentle force appeared around them, slowing their descent.

Amid Luna's bell-like laughter, the two of them slowly descended to the ground like dandelions.

They went to the open space below the viewing platform, and while waiting for the house-pockets to arrive, Vizette explained what had just happened.

Luna tilted her head, her long, pale blonde hair falling over her shoulders. "I heard Ginny mention... a house-elf named Dobby who's always causing trouble for Harry."

"It seems that it was because of Dobby that Harry was put in solitary confinement by his uncle when he was at his uncle's house. My mother told me that house-elves are very simple magical creatures."

"Maybe he really does mean well for Harry, but he won't..."

Before Luna could finish speaking, two crisp sounds suddenly came from not far away.

A shrill voice rang out, "You wicked house-elf, why are you stopping me from saving Harry Potter!"

“You are hurting Hogwarts’ children! You are the bad house-elf!” another shrill voice immediately retorted.

The two house-elves faced each other, one wearing a dirty, tattered pillowcase, the other wrapped in a clean tea towel.

It was obvious that the house-elf wearing the tattered pillowcase was Dobby.

Dobby was not only dressed in tattered clothes, but he also seemed to be injured. His thin, long fingers, like tree branches, were wrapped in thick bandages, and there were even traces of blood.

He glanced in the direction of the Quidditch pitch, gritted his teeth, and stretched out his finger, from which a magical wave immediately flew out.

"Lawei asa!"

"Knox!"

Luna and Vizet worked together seamlessly, raising their wands simultaneously.

Luna cast Ancient Magic: Levitation Spell, pulling Dobby into the air and briefly controlling him.

Vizette cast Ancient Magic: Improved Lights Out Spell (Beginner), and a huge black bubble with a diameter of ten meters appeared, instantly enveloping Dobby.

Almost instantly, a bulge appeared on the perfectly round bubble, as if something was breaking through the bubble's limitations.

It's Apparition, a house-elf.

As Vizette had anticipated, ancient magical powers could suppress the Apparitions of house-elves.

He also noticed that the bulges were becoming increasingly sharp, and Dobby could break free of the large bubble at any moment.

The large bubble's restrictive effect was good, and it could also protect the Devil's Web, so he simply continued to provide ancient magic power for "Ancient Magic: Improved Lights Out Spell (Beginner)".

With the word "beginner" gone, the effects of Ancient Magic: Improved Lights Out Spell are further enhanced.

If Vizet doesn't take active control, the bubble could easily expand tenfold.

However, to avoid attracting attention, he simply doubled the size of the bubble and quickly entered it, facing Dobby who was trying to break free.

He cast Ancient Magic: Self-Shaping (Devil's Web State), and countless devil's webs flew out, completely binding Dobby, who was trying to escape, like a silkworm cocoon.

Luna also stepped into the big bubble. "The bouncy ball is normal now. Harry caught the Golden Snitch."

“Hmm.” Vizzet nodded and said loudly, “Your name is Dobby, right? Why did you attack Harry? And that giant snake… did you release it?”

Dobby shrieked, "I didn't attack Harry Potter! I was saving him! Hogwarts is too dangerous!"

A voice came from outside the house-elf of Hogwarts, protesting, "Hogwarts is not dangerous at all! It's the safest place in the world!"

Dumbledore's voice came from outside the giant bubble, "Vizet? Are you in there?"

"You are him! You are him! Dobby actually..." Dobby seemed to have heard something terrifying, and his head tilted to the side, his eyes rolled back, and he fainted.

Luna was extremely puzzled. "He seems afraid of you? But why?"

“I don’t know either.” Vizet said, somewhat amused. “But it’s fine this way… We’ll leave the rest to Headmaster Dumbledore.”

He released the devil's net, used transformation magic to create a net, put Dobby inside, and tied him up securely.

After doing all this, he and Luna stepped out of the giant bubble, simultaneously shrinking its size so that it just covered Dobby's entire body, thus restricting the house-elves' Apparition ability.

Only Dumbledore was outside; the house-elf had already left.

"The wonders of ancient magic..." Dumbledore sighed. "What's the situation now?"

Vizette truthfully stated, "He has fainted, and I can only use this magical energy field to restrain him."

"He's passed out?" Dumbledore asked, somewhat surprised. "I think I just heard his voice."

Vizette coughed lightly. "I don't know either... I just heard him shout something, and then he fainted."

“In that case… let’s take them back to the headmaster’s office first!” Dumbledore took out two candies and gave them to Vizet and Luna. “As for what to do with them… that is another question.”

"He seems to have some connection with Harry...why don't we ask Harry for details?" Vizette suggested.

……

Vizette escorted Luna back to the common room and then took Bubble to the principal's office.

To his surprise, Snape was already in the headmaster's office, holding a bottle of clear potion.

After a moment's thought, Wizette easily determined, "Professor Snape, is this Truth Potion?"

“Yes…” Snape’s voice carried a hint of amusement, “Give the house-elves a little, and give Poot a lot more, so they’ll all tell the truth.”

Chapter 165 The Malfoys' House-Elves

"It's you!" Harry appeared in the doorway, his right fist clenched tightly, glaring angrily at Snape.

Snape didn't look into Harry's eyes, but instead looked at Harry's left hand, a mocking smile twisting at the corner of his mouth.

“The famous Potter…” he said coldly and sharply, “even your prized broom-catching skills… couldn’t save your fragile little body?”

Harry's face flushed red, and he gritted his teeth, spitting out the words, "I defeated Slytherin!"

When Vizzet looked at Harry's hands, he noticed that Harry's left arm, along with his hand, looked strange. It seemed to have no bones or joints, and was like a rubber tube that was swaying gently.

Harry protested, "Professor Lockhart did it!"
