Having escaped famine, I was accepted into Hogwarts

Just as Kane and Lupin were whispering to each other in the corner of the office, oblivious to everyone else, Harry and Dumbledore finally finished their conversation.

Dumbledore agreed to Harry's plan to rescue Dobby, but disagreed with spending money on such a pointless endeavor.

Perhaps it was Dumbledore's sudden childlike mentality at work, or perhaps he didn't approve of the behavior of mistreating house-elves, so he gave Harry a bad idea.

"The magical contract between house-elves and wizards stipulates that if a wizard personally hands over a piece of clothing, in any form, to a house-elf, it means that the house-elf has been abandoned. So perhaps you could manipulate this..."

After Dumbledore finished speaking, he looked at Harry, who was deep in thought, and decided to be blunt: "Don't you have an invisibility cloak?"

"Oh right! I have an invisibility cloak!" Harry realized, but then he quickly thought, "But I don't know where the Malfoys live?"

Dumbledore pointed to Kane and Lupin, who were quietly drinking tea and idly sipping their tea in the corner.

They both knew where the Malfoys lived.

The former had delivered a letter to the Malfoy family, and the latter had been working in the wizarding world for many years; these were essential pieces of information.

Kane and Lupin noticed Harry looking over and were naturally happy to offer any help they could.

However, now that they had a teammate, they pointed at each other and said, "I'm fine..."

The three of them looked at each other. Well, it seems that the first stop of this holiday is the Malfoys' house.

I wonder what Draco's expression would be if he accidentally saw the person who hit him and left him missing for almost a week at his house.

However, she probably won't show any expression.

Harry's plan this time is to wear an invisibility cloak and sneak around...

Just as Kane took off his magician's hat and pulled out a mantis shrimp, and Harry was about to go back to his dormitory to get a fire ring, Lupin chose to look at Dumbledore to borrow Floo Powder.

For a moment, all three people in the headmaster's office looked at Lupin, but Harry finally reacted: "So what's your plan?"

“I’ve fought Malfoy before; his magic isn’t very advanced, so we can…”

Unfortunately, Lupin was interrupted by Harry before he could finish speaking: "I think we might be able to do it in a smarter way."

"Okay, so are we going to go secretly?"

“Yes, we’ve all got our flying brooms ready… It’s me.” Kane said, suddenly pulling his mantis shrimp out of his hat, but Lupin let out a startled cry as soon as he picked up the broom.

"Wow! That Seamless Stretch Spell is really amazing. I didn't learn it until I was in fourth grade!" Lupin exclaimed in astonishment.

"A seamless stretching charm? What's that?" Kane turned around and asked, successfully making Lupin doubt his own magical abilities: "So, you bought this hat?"

Kane shook his head: "He did it himself."

Lupin nodded. If he had done it, then he hadn't made a mistake. He then said with great certainty, "Then this is the Unseen Stretching Charm. I won't mistake it. It expands a limited space to a very large size without being visible from the outside. It can be combined with the Levitation Charm or the Lightening Charm. But Professor Dumbledore, didn't you tell Kane the name of this charm?"

Dumbledore seemed to enjoy Lupin's expression: "Well, in fact, I didn't teach Kane this spell, and not only me, no one taught Kane this spell."

Now it was Lupin's turn to be surprised. Could it really not be the Seamless Stretching Charm? So it was just some kind of simple illusion?

Does Kane always have a giant flying broom on his head?

Kane, seeing Lupin's confused and distraught expression, kindly resolved his minor doubts.

"This hat is connected to the Shadow Space, which shares a space with my little pumpkin follower and a storage box I recently made. So I use this hat as a portable storage box."

Kane's explanation only made things worse; once he did, Lupin slowly took a breath...

In short... it would be better to tell him that Kane taught himself the Unseen Twist Charm without a teacher; that would be more acceptable than him teaching himself teleportation magic without a teacher.

So, are the talents of young wizards nowadays so abstract?

Am I, an old-timer from the previous generation, already out of touch with the times?

If we get discovered at the Malfoys' house, we can't be unable to beat Draco Malfoy, can we?

What kind of Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher is this?

Chapter 156 Dobby...It's free!

Unlike Lupin, who was initially unsure of his magical abilities, Kane had already taken out his mantis shrimp and started taking care of it.

After waiting a few more minutes, Harry walked back into the headmaster's office with the ring of fire.

“We need to hurry. I promised Ron that I would leave with Hermione by train.”

Lupin looked up again: "That doesn't make sense, does it? Even if we fly as fast as we can, we can't possibly get back before the Hogwarts Express starts."

Dumbledore slowly picked up a handful of nuts from the plate and threw them into his mouth.

As for why it's not drinking water...

He was afraid that Lupin's howling would make him spray water out.

Soon, as Dumbledore opened that huge window for them, Kane and Harry also helped Lupin make some harmless localization adjustments to his broom.

It wasn't anything else, but mainly because they were afraid Lupin wouldn't be able to keep up, so the two of them each took an iron chain, and the two of them were attached to Lupin's flying broom.

Believe it or not, although Lupin is poor himself, he's certainly not poor about his flying broomstick. It sweeps across nine stars, a MAX version of Radiant Light. Its speed is already comparable to the Nimbus 2000.

The broom isn't expensive, but it's a bit too plain, and the comfort level isn't particularly good. It's a broom that takes a different approach and ignores most of the safety and comfort aspects, focusing solely on speed.

It's like buying a broom engine and getting a wooden stick for free; it's not surprising that Lupin could afford it.

Lupin, watching Kane and Harry manipulating the chains on his broom, joked to Dumbledore, "The young Gryffindor wizards at Hogwarts these days have such a good sense of security. Back when we were young, we never thought of keeping our parents by our side on long journeys."

Dumbledore looked somewhat embarrassed: "Is it possible that they don't think that way?"

"What could that be?" Lupin asked in surprise, then quickly realized what Dumbledore meant.

As Lupin flew forward at full speed on his flying broom, he was surprised to find that his speed had not decreased at all, as if the two cumbersome brooms he was dragging behind him had no weight or air resistance.

Before he could even wonder what was going on, Kane and Harry, after confirming their safety and casting a spell to scare away the birds, slowly turned the magic door.

The next moment, Lupin finally understood what acceleration meant. Not only did he understand, he also regretted it.

The broom seller had recommended that he buy a broom with a safety belt, but he felt that his flying broom skills were terrifyingly good, so he naturally refused.

But now, he feels he really needs a seatbelt!

About sixteen minutes later, Lupin, who was feeling ecstatic from the acceleration of the flying broom, could see the Malfoy Manor in the distance. The Malfoy Castle, which was neither majestic nor towering but was truly magnificent, naturally came into view of the three of them.

Kane and Harry exchanged a glance and began to slowly reduce their speed, but Lupin and his broom, who were being dragged behind them at top speed, were not so lucky.

Like a slightly loose slingshot, even though Kane and Harry were trying to control their speed, Lupin still unconsciously swung slowly forward.

Fortunately, his reflexes, honed over years in the magical world, were still incredibly sharp. He quickly pulled out his wand and used an unknown spell to gradually bring his speed under control.

The three eventually landed in a grove of trees near Malfoy Manor. Harry took out his invisibility cloak from his pocket, put it on, and prepared to go inside. Kane and Lupin, on the other hand, began to provide cover from outside Malfoy Manor.

Clearly, neither of them intended to go inside. The former, having previously kept Malfoy at an optimal anaerobic heart rate while riding a broomstick, was now directly confronting Dumbledore. According to Dumbledore, he was experiencing some PTSD, though it was unclear whether this was directed at him, Dumbledore, or his broomstick.

So it's best not to wander in there aimlessly; it's about showing consideration for the patients.

Lupin's thoughts were much simpler. He had nothing to say to his former Death Eaters, and even stepping onto the grounds of Malfoy Manor made him feel disgusted.

After all, why is the grass inside the wall so green?

Who knows how much blood and money of Muggles and Muggle wizards it has been used to quench its thirst?

However, even if the two don't go inside, Harry's personal safety still needs to be guaranteed.

Kane slowly pulled a thread from his shadow and handed it to Harry, wrapping it around his neck.

"If you are in danger, you only need to hold your breath for two seconds and we will rush in to rescue you."

After Kane finished speaking, Lupin also took out his wand. Kane had already said everything, so he had nothing more to say.

But if something really goes wrong, we'll see how he handles it!

Harry nodded emphatically, pulling the invisibility cloak over his head as he thought to himself, "It feels good to have someone back me up."

Kane and Lupin, on the other hand, were leisurely sunbathing outside the manor.

Although they had made thorough preparations, to be honest, they didn't think Harry would encounter any danger.

After all, who in the entire wizarding world doesn't know that Harry is Dumbledore's favorite? Dumbledore scared Lucius Malfoy so badly last time, so now that Lucius sees Harry come in, his first thought is whether he has offended Dumbledore in some way again.

Then, when Harry came back to give a house-elf his freedom, Lucius truly experienced what the broken windows theory meant in real life. Why would Harry need to use any tricks?

Even when Lucius was taking a bath, he would stuff a pair of underwear into Dobby's hand to quickly get rid of that treacherous house-elf and Harry, who was a summoning object that could easily attract the indescribable evil god Dumbledore.

About ten minutes later, Harry left Malfoy Manor with Dobby.

Kane and Lupin were both curious. What was Harry up to? How could he be so fast? Could Kane have really guessed right?

Harry raised an eyebrow helplessly, clearly...

Kane was absolutely right.

Lupin looked at Kane with some surprise. Seeing Kane's ability to come up with whatever came to mind, he subconsciously asked, "You'll be third year next semester. Have you thought about taking any elective courses?"

Kane shook his head: "Not yet."

“Perhaps you could try a divination class. Honestly, Kane, I think you have a talent for it,” Lupin said very seriously.

"Heh, if that professor suits my taste, perhaps I really would give it a try." Kane said, glancing at the familiar elf standing behind Harry, Dobby...

“So, Dobby, what’s your situation right now?” he asked.

Although Dobby was standing behind Harry, he couldn't hide his excitement, gesturing wildly and shouting in a shrill voice, "Dobby...it's free!"

Chapter 155 Pass it on, the moon is controlled by Fu Rui.

It took Lupin another sixteen minutes to get back to Hogwarts from Malfoy Manor. He silently stared at Kane and Harry's two brooms.

He's only been away from the magical world for a total of two years, so why are flying brooms so abstract these days?

It's important to know that for wizards, flying brooms are not a primary means of transportation; they are more like horses used in polo, mainly used for Quidditch.

But playing Quidditch at this speed, wouldn't you accidentally knock some unnamed wizard to pieces?

Lupin's questions went unanswered, while Harry was already considering Dobby's future.

Dumbledore wasn't right this time; he can't be right every time.

Dobby is not a masochistic man who enjoys being dominated and beaten, but a strange house-elf who craves freedom and wages.

This rebellious thought, so blatantly opposed to other house-elves, existed openly in his mind.

Harry and Dumbledore were certainly not feudal landlords or rich people. Dobby wanted freedom, so of course they gave Dobby freedom, such as turning him from a slave in the Malfoy family into an employee of Hogwarts.
