Chapter 289 The Wizard's House-Elf Hakimi Muggle

Chapter 289 The Wizard's House-Elf Hakimi Muggle

The house-elves arrived quickly.

They didn't even need to go through the Ministry of Magic's censorship mechanism; after being notified, they simply teleported directly into the elf's office.

Wizards were not worried about this defensive loophole because the natural dependence of house-elves on humans gave them complete trust.

These are the rules of the game.

House-elves must be dependent on humans, obey commands, and offer complete loyalty.

Wizards must also place unwavering trust in the loyalty of house-elves.

Both are indispensable.

This cooperative mechanism makes everything harmonious.

Freedom is not something every living being desires. Humans cannot impose their own understanding of life on other living beings; that would only lead to chaos.

For example, the number of bacteria in the human body is almost equal to the number of human cells, a ratio of 1:1. If these bacteria were to crave freedom, the human body would instantly disintegrate.

Needless to say, the rebellion of intestinal bacteria alone is enough to make the most powerful wizard of the time have diarrhea for forty-nine days before finally passing gas.

But Lockhart still took precautions.

The fairy who died unjustly was assigned to manage these house-elves. As the darling of the earth, she naturally possessed the ability to control these natural creatures, as long as they received the earth's call.

Of course, the Fairy of the Wrongfully Killed also had a trick up her sleeve, namely the Ghost Ship's ability to forcibly lock life into the river of time.

But having lived with Lockhart for a long time, she had become much gentler and intended to give these house-elves a chance, avoiding their use unless absolutely necessary.

The three employees in the fairy office were unaware that the wrongfully killed fairy was a dark magic creature.

Previously, wizards might have had some unique sensitivity to dark magical creatures, but now that the wronged fairy has connected with Lockhart through blood magic, she has begun to exhibit extremely strong biological characteristics, and ordinary wizards no longer have the ability to distinguish her life form.

Lockhart took her to the Ministry of Magic to register with Umbridge, thus giving her an identity and officially registering her as a member of the elf office.

This kind of thing is very common in the Ministry of Magic. Many bigwigs recruit assistants to help with their affairs. That's how Umbridge got her position, as did Kingsley, and later Percy.

Those in power bring pragmatists to the Ministry of Magic, which is also a special mechanism for injecting vitality into the Ministry.

So, after the old man in the office explained the "wartime regulations" to the house-elves, the wronged fairy officially took over Lockhart's duties, began to lecture the house-elves, and made arrangements for their future.

The house-elves were very excited; they wanted to have work, because it was their reason for being.

Only by integrating into noble and wealthy families or powerful forces can their possessions be guaranteed and continue.

Three office staff members also came over to assist.

The old man was responsible for supplementing the Ministry of Magic's regulations and past practices, as well as some "standard procedures" that were not recorded on paper.

The middle-aged man with clear vision was in charge of organizing the files, constantly rummaging through numerous cabinets to find documents as a reference for the wrongfully murdered fairy.

The plump woman was unfamiliar with the rules of procedure and the files, but she was very knowledgeable about the various departments of the Ministry of Magic and had deep relationships with many of the employees who handled the tasks. She knew how to flexibly advance the completion of tasks.

Of course, she would sometimes sneak over to see what her idol was doing.

While helping to search for information, I passed Lockhart's desk and found him writing with his head down. Upon closer inspection, I saw that one of the documents was titled "Where Are the Dark Creatures 2".

wow~

My idol's new book!

She glanced at the manuscript paper excitedly.

In the magical world, any name containing "spirit" or "fairy" is undoubtedly related to nature.

From the perspective of the Dark Magic Creature Defense system, these magical creatures are products of the magical interaction between humans and nature, such as house-elves, brown fairies, and garden fairies.

(And those with "monster" or "god" in their names are all products of human-to-human interaction, such as Dementors and Aladdin's lamp.)

On this chain, those closer to nature possess more biological characteristics and are generally called magical creatures or fantastic beasts. Those closer to humanity possess more magical characteristics, as those at the extreme often possess dark powers and are called dark magic creatures.

Interestingly, in real-life situations, magical creatures that lean towards nature naturally gravitate towards humans, while dark magical creatures that lean towards humans naturally gravitate towards nature.

This unique evolution contains the secret of the interplay of life between shamans and nature.

In Defense Against the Dark Arts, this knowledge is categorized under the content of Dark Magic Creature Breeding.

The key to so-called "nurturing" lies in this "evolution of vitality".

The plump woman didn't quite understand.

This is, after all, Lockhart's first draft, and he will focus more on the construction of magical theory. He will consider the reading experience and the reading threshold when he revises the manuscript.

He would write down any ideas he had about certain people or events.

For example, watching the interaction between the wizard, the dark magic creature, and the house-elves.

He didn't stay in the elf's office for long.

He left the Ministry of Magic, leaving the other friends behind to help the wrongfully murdered fairy.

He had some ideas.

Hakimi seems to offer a fascinating perspective on the unique relationship between house-elves and wizards, and on the connection between blood magic and the concept of "home."

He has to try something.

Lockhart first returned to the ghost ship, then went to the second floor again, and suddenly found that the name "Little Elf's Office" appeared on the sixth door.

He opened the door and saw the wronged fairy directing office staff and house-elves to do their jobs.

Without observing for long, he moved some of the things he had previously stored in fairy tale books to his room, opened the fourth door to go to Hakimi's training base to capture a Hakimi, and then opened the first door to return to Hogwarts.

Open the fairy tale book, turn to the last few pages, and look at the stories that appear on them.

Those were stories brimming with life, because there was a genuine involvement of individual will, making them truly captivating.

There are many characters in fairy tales these days.

Bella is one, as is Ms. Mary, who is involved in influencing and interfering.

The werewolves that Lyle sent were among them.

There were also the dark wizards and Muggle mercenaries under Voldemort whom Crabbe and his men had captured. Some of them were simply caught up in fate and had not done anything particularly evil. Lockhart helped them erase some of their memories and then threw them out. The rest were villains who would be executed no matter where they were placed.

He felt no qualms about inviting these people to participate in his magical research.

With a gentle tap of the wand on the fairy tale book, a Muggle mercenary was pulled into a story scene. With the application of memory magic, the fairy tale book quickly constructed a lifelike environment based on the person's memories.

"Go."

Lockhart gently patted Hakimi beside him, gesturing for it to step into the fairy tale book and participate in the scene.

Then, Mary was summoned, and the power of time was mobilized to speed up the fairytale adventure experienced by the Muggle mercenary and Hakimi.

I continued to sense the subtle magical shifts between them.

He opened his notebook, placed it next to the fairy tale book, and began writing line after line of notes.

-

Daily life status: When neither Muggles nor Hakimi experience emotional fluctuations, their magical changes are 0.

Daily Life Situation: Muggles search for food to feed Hakimi. Hakimi's emotions fluctuate, and his magic changes accordingly. The "social" relationship between Hakimi and the Muggles creates a vibrant magical power. Magical Adventure Situation: Hakimi is trained by the Muggles, learns to steal, and acquires a sum of money. The Muggles' emotions fluctuate, and their magic changes again. — [Reflection] Based on reflections on kinship magic, when beings gather in a "family" state, their magical power will influence each other. —

Inside the fairy tale book.

Manhattan, an affluent neighborhood, late at night.

"Damn it, let's go!" The Muggle, carrying a backpack in one hand and grabbing Hakimi in the other, ran quickly into the dark alley.

They were trying to avoid the woman who came out of the house holding a shotgun.

"Meow~~" Hakimi's eyes revealed a sinister and fierce look in the shadows.

"Good boy! It's not time yet!" The Muggle gently comforted Hakimi, licked his lips, and looked greedily at the woman's graceful figure, who was only wearing a thin nightgown. He then glanced at the money exposed in the backpack next to his feet and suddenly felt that he wanted more than just money.

His eyes darted around, and he lowered his head to ask Hakimi in a low voice, "Do you have a way of taking her gun?"

Hakimi nodded.

"Great!"

They waited and waited until the woman searched everywhere but found no trace of them and returned to the house.

Only then did they emerge from the shadows.

"My master's happiness depends on you!" The Muggle gently placed Hakimi on the ground and watched with anticipation as it quickly climbed up the rainwater pipe to the second-floor window and went inside.
