Homecoming from Hogwarts

Hagrid just said it carelessly, but Harry's eyelids twitched and he immediately looked at Hermione,
"is it okay?"

"what?"

Hermione was stunned by Harry's confused question and asked without knowing why.

Most people will underestimate the power of house elves, but this prejudice will never appear on Harry. He knows very well how wonderful the magic of house elves is. At the beginning of the second year of school, Dobby used its magic to block King's Cross station and the door to the wizarding world, but he and Ron had nothing to do. Moreover, Dobby easily overthrew Malfoy's father. If during the game, Hermione could lead her loyal elf Go, that will greatly increase your chances of winning!

"I mean, asking Dom to participate in the Triwizard Tournament with you, is this allowed by the regulations?"

Harry asked expectantly.

"Take Dom to participate in the competition? Impossible, Harry, Crouch made it clear that we cannot accept help from anyone. In the competition, the only thing we can rely on is our own wand."

Hermione stared at Tom and asked in surprise.She instinctively wanted to refute it, but in the end, her delicate eyebrows were raised.And her appearance made Harry beam with joy,
"That is to say, there is no explicit prohibition, right? Dom is a house elf, not a wizard. Besides, it belongs to you, doesn't it?"

"Can you do Tom, Master Granger?"

The little guy stood up straight, apparently trying to look stronger.
"Dom is willing to accompany Master Granger to participate in the competition, and Dom wants to help Master Granger!"

Dongmu tilted his head, his tennis ball-sized eyes flashing with pleading.

Hagrid didn't expect Harry to take his unintentional words seriously. He looked at Dom and blinked, his expression a bit hesitant.

"no--"

I have to say that Harry's proposal is a bit tempting. If he has a helper during the competition, no matter what challenge he faces, the pressure he will bear will definitely be much less. However, Hermione looked weak and knew that her thighs were so tight. Gao Dongmu took a deep breath and decisively refused.

"I can't do this, Harry, it's too mean!"

Hermione said firmly. She saw that Harry still wanted to fight for it, so she said again,
"You have seen the past competition events, Harry, they are too dangerous. Dom is still a child, he is not even one year old. I can't involve him in it knowing that I will face danger, and , Dom does not belong to me, it is free, and there is no need for it to risk its life for me!"

"Dom belongs to Master Granger, and Master Granger gave Dom clothes!"

Dom grabbed the vest that was modified from Hermione's robe and said eagerly,

"Dom wants to help Master Granger win the game!"

"Stop talking, Dongmu--"

Hermione covered her lips. Her front teeth always hurt a little.

"If you really want to support me, then cheer for me during the game!"

Can cheers be understood to mean that you can help?
Dongmu blinked his eyes and stopped talking.

Hermione's refusal made Hagrid feel relieved. He had been getting along with Dom for a while, and I have to say that the house elf was indeed a good helper. Moreover, it could also chat with him during patrols and at night. This A little bit, Yaya can't do it.

"Don't worry, Hermione -"

Hagrid looked out the window shrewdly and whispered in a low voice,

"Professor Blaine has blocked the news, Hermione. No one knows the specific events of the first competition except him and Dumbledore, but if they want to transport something into Hogwarts, I always You can get the news."

Harry and Hermione stared at Hagrid with a shy smile, speechless for a moment.
Hagrid vaguely reminded him that he would help Hermione get information, which made Harry feel good. If they could know what they were going to deal with in advance, then they could always think of a way to deal with it. However, Hermione seemed very hesitant. After all, , to her, the competition is like an exam, it is a sacred thing, and cheating in the exam is something she cannot imagine.

Harry and Hagrid tried their best to persuade Hermione to completely change her mind, but by the time they left Hagrid's hut, Hermione was finally not so repelled by the matter.

Although after Hagrid's persuasion, Harry was no longer so angry with Ron, neither he nor Hermione wanted to see Ron so soon. The two of them had dinner at Hagrid's place and stayed there until daybreak. It was completely dark, and it was unlikely that there would be anyone in the auditorium before he walked towards the castle. "Oh, how on earth did you get your front teeth to look like this?"

In the school hospital, Madam Pomfrey said while checking Hermione's teeth.

"I was thinking about the competition, madam, and I didn't pay attention to step on those disappearing stair traps and fell-" Hermione said pitifully, "My teeth can be repaired, right? My father is a dentist. , if he discovers that my teeth are crooked during Christmas vacation, he will definitely let me wear braces."

Standing nearby, Harry looked at Madam Pomfrey nervously, feeling full of guilt. Regardless of whether it was him or Ron, Hermione was injured in the dispute between them.

Madam Pomfrey was experienced and she could tell at a glance that Hermione's tooth had been injured for a while. However, she was a competent doctor and never cared much about the strange reasons why little wizards injured themselves.

"Who are you looking down on, Miss Granger -"

Madam Pomfrey said angrily,
"With just a cup of chocolate milk, I can make your teeth return to their original state, or even better. Please, Potter, please wait outside the curtain for a while. You should have some discernment——"

It's just a tooth repair, there's nothing to avoid - Harry thought angrily.

However, he still obeyed the instructions obediently and waited at the door. In fact, Madam Pomfrey spent enough time for him to drink a bucket of chocolate milk. He heard Hermione and Madam Pomfrey whispering from behind the curtain. The muttering voice didn't know what it was saying.

It wasn't until half an hour later that Hermione came out from behind the curtain, and pursed her lips tightly to prevent Harry from seeing what her teeth had become.

"Come on, Harry, let's go back--"

Seeing that Harry didn't interfere, Hermione herself breathed a sigh of relief. In fact, she did take the opportunity to let Madam Pomfrey do a little more work on her front teeth. This was mainly because in the gym class before, Malfoy and Pa That 'whimsical' badge that Kanamori and the others created
Moreover, according to Professor Brain, this competition will be broadcast in real time in many places, just like the live broadcast of Muggle sports events.

Now, they were preparing to return to the dormitory, and Harry became worried again, because going back to the dormitory meant that he had to meet Ron again, and they had just had a fight this afternoon, which was unprecedented, although Hagrid reminds them to stay calm but it's not going to be easy at all!

"Did we forget something?"

Hermione also had her own thoughts. The two of them climbed up the stairs absentmindedly and slowly returned to the Gryffindor Tower and in front of the common room. While the Fat Lady was waiting for him to say the password, Hermione suddenly He woke up.

"what?"

Harry asked subconsciously, and then, a cold flash of electricity flashed through his mind, and he immediately got goosebumps all over his body.

"Oh, Professor Blaine!"

In front of the portrait of the Fat Lady, two screams of despair and terror came to mind.

"What time is it, Harry!"

The two of them turned around and ran. They made full use of the speed and agility they had developed in physical education class. When Hermione ran down the stairs, she even climbed over the guardrail of the stairs like a parkour athlete.

"Nine o'clock!"

In a panic, Harry took the time to glance at the watch given to him by Professor Blaine on his wrist, and he shouted desperately,
"It's over, Hermione. Will Professor Blaine think that we want to resist his punishment? What will he do? He will use the same method against George in the next PE class!"

"do not ask me!"

Hermione jumped over a guardrail again, she collapsed and shouted,
"I do not know anything!"

"If you two don't come-"

Ten minutes later, the two panting people finally arrived at Professor Blaine's office and knocked on the office door with anxiety.

Amosta was sitting in his seat, staring at a large gift box on the desk in front of him. When he saw Harry and Hermione running in carelessly, sweating profusely, he smiled unkindly,
"I'm going to arrest someone in the Gryffindor dormitory." (End of Chapter)
