My Hogwarts has a serious problem.

Chapter 65. Kira (Seeking recommendations)

When Lynn rushed to Ian's side, Ian had just been struck by a stun spell and was lying on the ground, unable to get up.

The "person" who attacked him was a short, ugly humanoid creature with pointed ears, large eyes, wrinkled and loose skin, and wrapped in a tattered sheet!

This creature looks very similar to a fairy, but there are many subtle differences.

Lynn knew more about the magical world than Ian, and he immediately recognized it as an old, terribly aged house-elf.

Now, the house-elf is facing away from Lynn, grabbing Ian's arm as if to Apparate him away.

"stop!"

Lynn drew his wand.

The old house-elf shuddered violently as if startled by Lynn's voice.

He slowly turned around, his expression extremely sad, his two eyes, as big as billiard balls, brimming with tears.

"The little...the little master told Kira to stop, and Kira stopped."

Lynn was startled when he heard how it addressed him.

He was still holding his wand, slowly approaching the house-elf named Kira.

"Who is your little master?" he asked in a deep voice.

Kira knelt on the ground, holding her large head in her hands, and cried out in uncontrollable sobs.

"It's Lynn Bellock! Lynn Bellock is Kira's young master!"

Kira's title basically confirms one thing: at least one of his parents is from a pure-blood family, and an extremely ancient one at that.

Only a family like this would keep house-elves as pets.

After Lynn appeared, Kira seemed to have completely given up on the idea of ​​continuing to attack Ian or escaping. It knelt on the ground and kept crying.

"Were you the one who attacked Hubert and Raphael?" Lynn had already reached the strange creature's side, still on high alert, pointing his wand at its large head from above.

"They're insulting your bloodline!" Kira suddenly screamed. "How dare they use such disgusting, vile, and despicable words to address you! And this person! They all deserve to die!"

Its voice suddenly lowered again, and it sobbed softly, "But Kira dares not kill them. If he kills them, Dumbledore will find out that Kira is doing bad things, and he will make things difficult for the young master..."

Lynn's heart sank, and he asked.

"Does Professor Dumbledore know about your relationship with me?"

"Kira doesn't know if Dumbledore knows, but Kira guesses he does!" Kira clearly harbored inexplicable hatred for Dumbledore, gritting her teeth as she spoke his name.

Lynn stared intently at him and spoke.

"You call me 'young master,' so who is your former master? Or rather, which family do you work for?"

Kira was trembling slightly all over, and suddenly went berserk, banging her head against the ground repeatedly!

"Kira can't tell! The old master ordered Kira not to tell the young master about this! Kira disobeyed the young master's orders! Kira is guilty! Kira is a bad elf!"

It wasn't putting on a show for Lynn; it was hitting very hard, and in just a few blows, the skin on its forehead was broken, and dark red blood flowed down its large head.

Lynn's face turned grim. Just as he was about to stop Kira from harming herself, the old house-elf suddenly stopped on its own and then disappeared before Lynn's eyes with a "snap".

Behind Lynn, a series of hurried footsteps sounded, and Cedric came running up, panting heavily.

He followed behind Lynn the whole time. This was something the three of them had planned beforehand. Ian was in the open, while Lynn was hiding in the shadows. If anything unexpected happened, Lynn would quickly show up to help. He was confident that he could hold his own against even an adult wizard. At this moment, Cedric, who was also hiding behind Lynn, would immediately find a professor after hearing the commotion.

But since Lynn hadn't fought Kira, and Cedric hadn't heard any noise from behind, and Ian and Lynn hadn't continued back along the planned route, he ran over to check on them.

Looking at Ian lying unconscious on the ground and the remaining bloodstains, Cedric stared wide-eyed and asked.

"What happened?"

Lynn's feelings were complicated. He shook his head and said.

"Let's use the antidote to wake Ian first."

Cedric used the dispelling spell to wake Ian from his coma. As soon as he woke up, he rubbed his still groggy head and asked...

"What kind of creature is that? It looks a bit like a Gringotts goblin."

"They are house-elves, servants of wizards," Lynn replied.

"House-elves?" Cedric looked incredulous. "You mean these attacks were all done by house-elves?"

Lynn nodded.

"This is outrageous! I'd rather believe Professor Fox is the real culprit!"

Lynn didn't think it was outrageous at all; it was precisely because of the house-elves' loyalty to wizards that they were capable of doing anything.

He suddenly remembered many things, which explained why the food served to him had become more to his liking since the start of the semester.

It turned out that someone had been looking after him in the Hogwarts kitchen.

However, there are still some problems.

His conflicts with Raphael and Ian all took place in the castle, but his initial conflict with Hubert occurred in the Slytherin boys' dormitory.

How did Kira know? Did it have spies around it?

"What do we do now? Should we report this to the professor?" Ian asked.

They all turned to look at Lynn, who pondered for a moment before finally shaking his head.

"Let's wait a moment, there are some things I need to clarify."

Ian and Cedric exchanged a glance. They could both tell that Lynn seemed to be in a bad mood, so they said no more and went back to their respective lounges.

Lynn kept thinking about what Kira had said on his way back.

It is now certain that Lynn's predecessor was not a Muggle orphan at all, but came from a long-established pure-blood family. It is not hard to tell from Kira's tone that this family also had a grudge against Dumbledore.

Kira guessed that Dumbledore already knew about the relationship between it and Lynn, and Lynn also felt that the old bee couldn't possibly not know.

Considering Dumbledore's previous attitude towards him, Lynn was unsure of his thoughts.

He even suspected—no, not suspected—that Dumbledore must already know about his meeting with Kira.

So what should he do next?

Lynn hesitated as he pondered.

Should we... take the initiative to confess to the old bee and try to get leniency?

Just then, a system notification sounded in his mind that the mission was complete.
