The Malfoy Family's House-elf

"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 Wizet 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!"

"Ah...of course! I completely understand!" Snape's sneer deepened, his eyes gleaming with malice. "The great Potter loves this..."

"You like to shift all the blame onto others... Should I call all the students of Hogwarts to sing ' Amazing Grace ' for you, to mourn the bone you just lost?"

Harry emphasized again, "I defeated Slytherin!"

Snape curled his lip and asked coldly, "Then can you beat Ravenclaw?"

Harry opened his mouth but was speechless for a moment, not knowing what to say.

Wizet pursed her lips and turned her attention to the black bubbles.

Just then, Dobby's voice suddenly came from inside the bubble, "Harry Potter! Run! You'll be killed!"

"Dobby?" Harry exclaimed in surprise. "Who will kill me? Snape?"

Snape raised an eyebrow. "Disrespect for the professor, five points deducted from Gryffindor."

"I seem to be late..." Dumbledore appeared in the doorway, looked at Harry and asked, "This House-elf named Dobby seems to know you quite well?"

"We're not familiar with each other at all!" Harry shook his head repeatedly, angrily saying, "If it weren't for him... I wouldn't have been warned by the Ministry of Magic!"

Dobby spoke again from inside the bubble, his voice filled with sorrow, "Dobby is saving Harry Potter! The great the Chosen One... Harry Potter... Why are you at the school?"

Dobby had reminded Harry Potter several times... why he wouldn't listen to the warnings to dodge, why he wouldn't go home even though he had missed the train?

"So it was you who did it!" Harry's eyes widened in disbelief. "It's because of you that I had to spend the whole afternoon with Snape!"

Dobby was still rambling on, "This is the last resort... Why do we have to do this? Dobby had to burn his own fingers..."

Snape raised his eyebrows and hissed like a viper striking its tongue, "Disrespecting the professor again, Gryffindor be docked another deduction..."

"Ahem!" Before Snape could finish speaking, Dumbledore quickly coughed twice. "Harry, ask Dobby why he did this. Is there anyone who would commit a crime at school?"

Harry suppressed his anger, nodded, and asked, "Dobby, tell me! Why did you do this?"

"Harry Potter knew perfectly well..." Dobby sounded like he was sobbing, his tone somewhat mournful.

"A terrible thing has happened... history is repeating itself... the Chamber of Secrets has been opened..."

A strange clattering sound rang out, and his voice became muffled, "Dobby can't say these things! Bad Dobby! Very, very bad Dobby!"

Perhaps affected by the sound of the collision, Harry's tone softened, "Who wants to harm me? Was it Malfoy?"

"Dobby ... Malfoy?" Snape suddenly spoke up. "Wizet, I want to see what this House-elf looks like."

Wizet nodded, controlling the bubble to shrink it slightly, revealing Dobby's head.

Dobby was restrained by ropes, blood trickling from the corner of his mouth, seemingly from hitting his body with his chin.

"He's Lucius's House-elf; I've seen him a few times." Snape frowned. "But... he shouldn't... I'll go get Draco!"

He left with a single sentence and quickly walked out of the Headmaster's Office, his black robe billowing in the wind.

"It really was Malfoy who tried to get me!" Harry gasped. "The Bludger attacked me... wasn't that your doing too?! You wanted Malfoy to win!"

"Harry Potter ...stop asking poor Dobby!" Dobby groaned. "I can't say these things...or I'll have to punish myself..."

Before he finished speaking, he tilted his head back and slammed his chin hard against his chest.

Wizet flicked her wand, then tied Dobby's head with a rope, intertwining it with the rope binding his body.

Dobby was almost bound like a mummy before he finally calmed down and looked at Wizet with terrified eyes.

"Terrible... so terrifying! Exactly the same! Completely identical..." He didn't finish his sentence before collapsing into unconsciousness.

"He... actually thinks Wizet is... scary?" Harry murmured, as if he had heard the most outrageous nonsense in the world. "Has he been brainwashed by Malfoy, and is he out of his mind?"

Dumbledore waved his hand. "He's just an unusual House-elf, with such a strong will."

While Snape was still away, Wizet made some attempts.

He asked tentatively, "Headmaster Dumbledore, should we give him the Veritaserum? Despite my strong will, I feel it's unlikely to work."

Magical creature like House-elf usually prioritize their owner's commands, which greatly reduces the effectiveness of Veritaserum.

"This is a last resort..." Dumbledore murmured. "If the regular Veritaserum doesn't work, Severus can concoct a special Veritaserum."

"Then we might have to adjust the amount of the Demiguise Feather use..." Wizet nodded, "And it'll need to sit for a month... that's a long time..."

Hearing Dumbledore and Wizet's conversation, Harry opened his mouth, "What are you talking about? What Veritaserum?"

"A kind of Potions ...it's quite complicated to explain." Wizet smiled and said, "If you want to know more, you can borrow a book called ' Moste Potente Potions ', on page 234."

"Moste Potente Potions!" Harry seemed startled and instinctively took two steps back.

"Have a seat for a while!" Dumbledore pulled out a chair. "In a little while, I'll take you to find Poppy."

Harry nodded and sat obediently on the stool. "Thank you..."

"Headmaster Dumbledore, I can try to extract his memories..." Wizet began, "After all, Dobby mentioned the Chamber of Secrets ..."

"He definitely knows something. Using the Memory Extraction Charm can, to some extent, circumvent the master's orders."

Dumbledore cautioned, "The memories of Magical creature can be quite chaotic, and extracting them won't be easy."

"I'll try to find a 'fulcrum'," Wizet said with a smile. "It's also a preparation for...breaking the Obliviation Charm later, isn't it?"
