How to Get Along with Dobby?

For some reason, Wizet suddenly remembered something Salazar Slytherin had once said: Every action of the Guardians eventually has an impact on the magical world...

He put the parchment in his pocket. "Dobby, you just mentioned that Lucius Malfoy was a Death Eater. What was his status back then?"

Dobby stammered, "He... he is your loyal follower."

Wizet rubbed her temples, too lazy to delve into Dobby's understanding. "Just say everything you need to say at once! That's my order! And you'll need to answer me like that from now on!"

Dobby's body trembled, and he stammered on, "Malfoy Manor... is often the meeting place for those Death Eater..."

"You... often entrusted him with important tasks... and kept many things... inside the Malfoy Manor..."

He glanced furtively at Wizet and added, "Those Dark Magic Items... money and treasure... will all be moved to the Malfoy Manor..."

"So he was a core member?" Wizet murmured. Now he understood why Dumbledore had written that note.

Since they are Voldemort's right-hand men, it would be a good option to bring the Malfoy Family back on track in this way.

Based on Wizet's understanding and knowledge of Voldemort over this period, Voldemort's methods of maintaining the Death Eater were not particularly sophisticated.

In essence, it is an extreme form of oppressive rule that ensures unity and loyalty within the Death Eater through intimidation, collusion, and manipulation.

He then used killing, coercion, and torture to suppress all his opponents, which is why Voldemort remains infamous to this day.

This is the difference between Voldemort and Grindelwald: one wins people over through appeasement, while the other creates an atmosphere of extreme terror and uncertainty.

The reason why Voldemort has various nicknames is precisely because Death Eater attacks are often without warning, appearing randomly in some place in the form of Dark Mark.

The impact of this uncertainty is far-reaching, causing great anxiety and panic among the wizards involved.

Even today, wizards who lived through that era still unconsciously recall that horror and spread that terror to those around them...

Wizet snapped out of her daze and looked Dobby over again.

In his opinion, from the perspective of the positioning of House-elf, this House-elf is indeed quite special;

Dobby did not fully obey Lucius Malfoy's will, otherwise he would not have left the manor on his own for the so-called key to the Chamber of Secrets;

In addition to tipping off Harry Potter, he also used magic without permission, attempting to "protect" Harry through his own understanding and methods.

However, from another perspective, one can appreciate Dobby's uniqueness: his ability to distinguish right from wrong and good from evil, and his courage that sets him apart from his own kind.

The reason for this is that Lucius Malfoy only treated Dobby tool, an incredibly versatile household tool that could be beaten and scolded at will.

But without a doubt, Dobby also possesses intelligence and emotions, and is capable of exploiting loopholes to rebel in some way;

The way people perceive Dobby individual, and the different ways they interact with him, determine what kind of things Dobby will do.

Wizet reached out to Dobby, Dobby and instinctively backed away, his body trembling violently.

Nevertheless, Wizet grabbed Dobby's arm and pulled him back onto the stool.

Wizet let out a breath, her tone softening considerably. "Dobby, how do you see yourself? What do you like?"

Dobby gently twisted his arm, looking at Wizet with an incredulous expression, "M... Master?"

"Tell me everything without reservation," Wizet added. "What do you like? What do you feel you need?"

Dobby suddenly shuddered, and tears welled up in his eyes. "No one... no one has ever asked Dobby... what he likes... what he needs..."

He cried for a while until he felt a little embarrassed, then choked up and stopped sobbing, "Master... Master, you shouldn't be... that person whose name can't be mentioned, right?"

Seeing that Wizet remained silent, Dobby continued, "That 'person whose name can't be mentioned'... he's brutal... terrifying..."

"But you didn't do that...you even made me cry for so long...when Dobby was with the Malfoy Family, if I had nothing to do...they would make me punish myself..."

"But you're with me now," Wizet said calmly.

Tears welled up in Dobby's eyes again, but this time he calmed down Dobby, and his voice no longer trembled. "Master, I like working, but I also want to wear clothes, and I want freedom!"

really...

Wizet nodded. Dobby to ordinary House-elf, Dobby's most unique characteristic was that he longed to be a human.

Then the way of getting along becomes much simpler, and Wizet doesn't even need to make many changes.

Thinking of this, Wizet said, "From now on, don't call me 'master,' just call me by my name... Wizet, and my family, Luna and Mr. Lovegood."

Dobby nodded quickly, "Yes... Lord... Wizet..."

"You like working, you want clothes, you want freedom," Wizet said. "So you work for me, and I'll pay you a salary."

"You can buy clothes freely, and we'll also arrange vacations for you, including regular holidays and sick leave. Is that alright?"

"Lord... Wizet ..." Dobby took a deep breath, his wide eyes filled with a dreamy and bewildered look. "Am I dreaming? I wouldn't even dare to think like this in my dreams..."

Wizet continued, "But that's all there is between you and me. Because of your past behavior, I don't really trust you. That's something I need to make clear."

"These are my feelings for you, and I will tell you openly. You also need to do the same; I need you to tell me anything that involves other people."

"The example is simple. It's like Lucius Malfoy takes out the so-called key to the Chamber of Secrets, and you're worried about Harry's safety, so you're going to rescue him. You have to notify me first."

He pulled out his school uniform and placed it in front of Dobby. "If you can't do this... I know that if I give you a piece of clothing, you can gain true freedom..."

Before the words were even finished, Dobby jumped back as if he'd been electrocuted, shaking his head frantically, "No clothes! Dobby wants to work here!"

"Great Lord... Wizet! They won't treat Dobby this... They won't pay Dobby! They won't give Dobby vacations! They won't give Dobby what he wants!"

"Dobby will stay here! Dobby will prove himself! Dobby will never let the great Wizet down! Dobby promises! Dobby doesn't want the clothes!"

"Alright!" Wizet. "Welcome to work here...we should talk about salary."
