Chapter 49 No. 210 Godric's Hollow
House-elves are excellent slaves. They are born with magical abilities and do not need to learn like wizards. At the same time, after thousands of years of brainwashing, they are now proud to work for their masters for free and ashamed to be abandoned by their masters.
The original house-elves were the spoils of war captured by the families who participated in the war to suppress the goblin rebellion. They became a symbol of family glory and heritage in later generations.
Therefore, any family will never sell house-elves unless they are unable to survive, so this makes house-elves a priceless and precious treasure.
Lolo was won by Professor Flitwick in a fight with others. It is said that the guy who lost Lolo was beaten half to death by the elders of the family after returning home.
Mike does not sympathize with house-elves. Falling behind will be beaten. This is the eternal truth in the world.
It must be said that Lolo's cooking skills are really good. He doesn't look like a house-elf from Britain at all. Mike and Professor Flitwick had a very pleasant meal.
After lunch, Flitwick took Mike to visit his house.
The address of this house is 210 Godric's Hollow. You read it right. It is the Godric's Hollow where Harry Potter's parents lived.
To be honest, this house does not look magical at all from the outside. It is just like an ordinary two-story building in the UK.
But if you open the door and enter it, you will find that there is a different world inside. The door that opens and closes automatically, the mop and rag that cleans by itself, the specimens whose eyes turn around...
The most exaggerated thing is that there are 46 rooms in this seemingly small house! From the guest rooms of dozens of square meters to the spell training rooms of hundreds of square meters, each room is attached with a large number of traceless telescopic spells!
Such a large amount of money shocked Mike. If this amount of work is used to make traceless telescopic bags, it may be enough to buy half of Diagon Alley.
After learning that this house was built by Professor Flitwick himself, Mike looked at him differently. You are so rich and you still go to Hogwarts to be a professor? I'm afraid it's not Shi Lezhi.
Mike had also been to Professor Flitwick's lounge at Hogwarts. Although the conditions there were also very good, they were far inferior to this "mansion".
Mike raised his doubts to Flitwick, but Professor Flitwick did not explain anything to Mike. He just laughed dryly and changed the subject.
"Don't ask these boring questions. Let's go to the magic training room. I want to take a good look at your magic level." The
magic training room in the "mansion" was more luxurious than the one inside the secret door of Professor Flitwick's office. The material on the wall was directly upgraded from anti-magic stone to obsidian.
Under Flitwick's gaze, Mike raised the black prickly pear wood wand.
"Flame!"
The blazing white flames gushed out from the tip of the wand and engulfed several dummies not far away, and the brightness of the entire training room was lowered a few points.
The quality of the dummies here was obviously much better than the dummies in the room that responded to every request. They lasted for more than ten seconds under the burning of the blazing white flames before they began to melt.
As Mike's mind moved, the pillar of fire from the tip of the wand disappeared, and groups of white fireballs the size of an adult's fist were launched.
The flying speed of these fireballs was not fast, but they could automatically adjust the flight trajectory and finally focus on the target as if they had automatic tracking.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
As the fireballs focused on the dummy, a series of explosions completely submerged the area where the dummy was located. The air waves hit Mike and Flitwick, blowing up the hems of their clothes.
Professor Flitwick was very excited and applauded repeatedly.
However, Mike's performance was not over yet.
"Wind Speed Spell! Obstacles! Blazing! Shattered into pieces! All petrified!"
Mike began to run. Under the blessing of the Wind Speed Spell, he was like a flash of lightning, moving around the training room. Spells were released from his wand one after another, and the few remaining moving targets in the training room were blown into slag. Mike, who
had completed the performance, supported his knees with his hands and gasped for breath. At this moment, he was like someone who had just been pulled out of the water, and his whole body was covered with sweat.
Professor Flitwick at the side quickly changed a glass of water and handed it to Mike: "You are definitely the most outstanding student I have ever taught! I only demonstrated the use of the Fire Charm to you once, and you have been able to achieve this level after a year of self-study! I can't believe that you have just finished the first grade this year."
"No way, it's the dean's good teaching." Mike took the cup and drank it all. "How could I, an orphan with no one to rely on, have achieved today's results without your care."
Professor Flitwick is a very emotional person. When he heard Mike's words, his eyes suddenly turned red. He stretched out his hand to touch Mike's head but found that he was too short to reach it at all. His expression became a little embarrassed again. The
hand he stretched out quietly changed direction and patted Mike's arm, and he continued to praise Mike.
And Mike continued to brag about business with Flitwick as if he didn't see Flitwick's actions just now.
Before dinner, Professor Flitwick took Mike to visit Godric's Hollow again. Not long after they walked out of the gate, the "mansion" behind them disappeared. Mike knew that this should be a kind of protective magic, and his evaluation of this "mansion" rose a few points.
Godric's Hollow is the birthplace of Godric Gryffindor, one of the four founders of Hogwarts. After the International Statute of Secrecy came into effect, it became a village where Muggles and wizards live together.
After the two have lived together for a long time, Muggles will naturally discover some secrets about wizards, so this is also the focus of the Ministry of Magic's Memory Clearing Department. Almost every Muggle resident here has been forgotten. Perhaps because of the sequelae of the Oblivion Spell, the Muggles here don't have a good memory.
At the same time, this is also the birthplace of the famous Harry Potter. It was here that Voldemort was defeated by Harry Potter when he was still a baby.
In order to commemorate the Potter family, people specially erected a bronze statue of their family in the village square.
These bronze statues are attached with Muggle-repelling spells. In the eyes of Muggles, they are just monuments commemorating World War II. But in the eyes of wizards, they are bronze statues of the Potter family.
Almost every wizard who comes to Godric's Hollow will choose to come here to bow deeply to this brave family to thank them for their contribution to the wizarding world.
The church in the village is also extraordinary. The small cemetery behind the church is the ancestral burial place of many pure-blood families.
"Those powerful wizards who were so famous during their lifetime can only be buried in this small and dilapidated cemetery after death. Death is really an equal and terrifying thing." Mike thought as he looked at the densely packed tombstones in front of him, "No wonder Voldemort was so crazy about pursuing immortality. There is great terror hidden in death."
