The car door opened, and Kyle and several Weasleys got out.

"We're home, kids. Be careful not to forget your luggage in the car."

Mr. Weasley shouted from the driver's seat, but he himself showed no intention of getting out of the car.

His previous old Ford disappeared into the Forbidden Forest and could never be found again after Ron drove it to Hogwarts. This car was temporarily borrowed from the Ministry of Magic and he would have to return it soon.

Every time Mr. Weasley thought of this, he felt a pang of heartache. He had spent a lot of effort to transform that ordinary Ford car into its previous appearance.

Not only does it have the standard traceless expansion spell, it can also fly, become invisible, and automatically identify directions... but now it's gone without a trace.

"How about finding an excuse to beat Ron up?" Mr. Weasley thought silently on the way back to the Ministry of Magic.

"His transcript is pretty good..."

…

On the other side, as soon as the few people got out of the car, Mrs. Weasley rushed out of the house.

"Thank God you guys finally have a day off!"

She had the kettle on her waist and a big new brush in her hand, and she came straight towards Kyle.

"Kyle, you..."

At this moment, Ron suddenly looked at the house-elf following her with surprise.

"Oh, you must be Doba... Oh no, it seems to be Dobby!"

"Yes, this Mr. Weasley." Dobby said respectfully.

"It called me sir!" Ron looked a little excited.

"If you like..." Fred smiled, "We can call you that, too."

"Dear Mr. Ron Weasley, could you please move your luggage back to your room now?" George chuckled.

Ron's face flushed red.

But just as he was about to pick up his luggage, Dobby had already stacked the boxes together and carried them back to the Burrow.

"That's really convenient," Ginny exclaimed.

"yes……"

Ron also forgot about Fred and George's previous teasing and began to look forward to a life of ease and comfort.

"Convenient? I don't think so."

Mrs. Weasley muttered quietly, away from their attention.

She pulled Kyle aside and made sure Dobby was not nearby before asking expectantly, "Dear, although it may be too much to say this, can you really send Dobby away?"

"Of course, Mrs. Weasley." Kyle nodded, "But it's too late today. I will take it away tomorrow."

"That's good, that's good." Mrs. Weasley breathed a sigh of relief. "If possible, please try not to hurt it. Dobby is really a good child, but..."

She suddenly sighed and said, "Arthur's appetite has been getting smaller and smaller recently. I know he wants to eat the food I cook."

"I also tried to discuss it with Dobby, but every time he was terrified and thought he wasn't doing well enough, and he would bang his head against the table."

"I understand, Mrs. Weasley..." Kyle nodded, "Leave it to me."

While the two were talking, the others had already walked into the Burrow.

Dobby prepared a large table of cookies and desserts in advance, saying that it was for everyone to fill their stomachs before dinner.

But the table full of cookies is more than enough to be eaten as a meal.

At this rate, the Weasleys' food expenses will obviously increase significantly...

Kyle found Dobby busy in the kitchen, preparing ingredients for dinner and desserts such as pudding.

"gentlemen!"

After seeing Kyle, Dobby immediately stopped what he was doing and said, "Thank you for helping Dobby find a new job. Dobby likes it here very much."

"I'm glad you like it." Kyle said, "It just so happens that I have something to tell you. Can I invite you to my house?"

"Invite...you just said, invite!"

Dobby scratched his big ears excitedly, his whole face turned brown and red, "Dobby is willing."

"Good news."

Seeing Dobby eager to try and unable to resist wiping the floor, Kyle quickly said, "You have passed the probation period."

"Probation...period?"

Dobby looked confused, obviously not understanding what this meant.

"To put it simply, the company you just visited is not where you actually work."

Kyle gave the reason he had thought of long ago, and said the rest of the words in time before Dobby wanted to bang his head on the floor.

"You need to work for another family, but the owner there is very picky and only the best house-elves will be recognized by them."

It seems that some key words were triggered...

"Dobby can... Dobby is the best house-elf!"

Fortunately, the floor escaped damage.

"Of course, Mrs. Weasley has already told me." Kyle nodded and continued, "You have passed her test and are qualified to work there."

…

After Kyle's persuasion, Dobby quickly believed what he said.

But it insisted on finishing tonight's dinner before leaving the Weasley family, otherwise it would rather not be the "best house-elf".

Kyle had no reason to refuse. They were not leaving until tomorrow anyway, so tonight wouldn't make a difference.

Mrs. Weasley readily agreed.

After dealing with Dobby's problem, Mr. Weasley just came back, and with him were Chris and Diana.

The meeting after a year was not as warm as expected...

As soon as Diana saw Kyle, she immediately frowned and began to blame him for touching time. She also said that when he found himself going back to the past, he should write a letter home as soon as possible.

"Even if I can't receive the letter, you can tell your father... He can always find me..."

Diana narrowed her eyes. "If it weren't for Dumbledore, I wouldn't even know that you had such a wonderful time in school..."

"Are all the teachers in the school dead? I need you to solve the secret room..."

Chris lowered his head, as if he hadn't heard anything. In order to avoid being implicated, he slipped out the door quietly and hid in the Burrow.

The lecture lasted for more than half an hour, and it finally ended after Kyle repeatedly assured him that Salazar Slytherin had promised to help him smooth out the impact of the time travel.

As a Slytherin graduate, Diana had an inexplicable admiration and trust for the founder.

Just like Lockhart's admirers at the beginning of the school year, he believed everything he said.

…

I finally waited until night.

The Kyle family set off for the Burrow at the invitation of Mr. Weasley.

Dobby used up all the ingredients and turned them all into a hearty delicacy.

Mr. Weasley had to conjure up a larger dining table just to fit the plates.

Because the meal was so sumptuous, the dinner lasted nearly two hours. Ron held his stomach and slumped in his chair, unwilling to move.

This meal was almost like a party at school.

Enjoying a banquet at home... This was something he had never imagined before. No wonder so many people wanted a house-elf.

"That's great..." Ron thought.

Fred and George were also very happy. With the house-elf, Mrs. Weasley no longer had to clean their room and find the things they hid under the bed.

And Percy…house elves were notoriously quiet when doing their chores, so they wouldn't disturb him.

…

Thanks to skydod for the reward
