Chapter 157 Dobby... is free!
Unlike Lupin, who was initially unsure of his magical abilities, Kane had already taken out his mantis shrimp and started taking care of it.
After waiting a few more minutes, Harry walked back into the headmaster's office with the ring of fire.
"We need to hurry. I promised Ron I'd leave with Hermione by train."
Lupin looked up again: "That doesn't make sense, does it? Even if we fly incredibly fast, we can't possibly get back before the Hogwarts Express starts."
Dumbledore slowly picked up a handful of nuts from the plate and threw them into his mouth.
As for why it's not drinking water...
He was afraid that Lupin's howling would make him spray water out.
Soon, as Dumbledore opened that huge window for them, Kane and Harry also helped Lupin make some harmless localization adjustments to his broom.
It wasn't anything else, but mainly because they were afraid Lupin wouldn't be able to keep up, so the two of them each took an iron chain, and the two of them were attached to Lupin's flying broom.
Believe it or not, although Lu Ping was poor himself, he was certainly not poor about his flying broomstick, which swept across the nine stars with maximum dazzling light.
Version. The speed is now comparable to Nimbus 2000.
The broom isn't expensive, but it's a bit too plain and not particularly comfortable. It's a pure speed broom that takes a different approach and ignores some safety and comfort.
It's like buying a broom engine and getting a wooden stick for free; it's not surprising that Lupin could afford it.
Lupin, watching Kane and Harry manipulating the chains on his broom, joked to Dumbledore, "The young Gryffindor wizards at Hogwarts these days have such a good sense of security. Back in our youth, we never thought of keeping our parents chained up on long journeys."
Dumbledore looked somewhat embarrassed: "Is it possible that they don't think that way?"
"What could that be?" Lupin asked in surprise, then quickly realized what Dumbledore meant.
As Lupin flew forward at full speed on his flying broom, he was surprised to find that his speed had not decreased at all, as if the two cumbersome brooms he was dragging behind him had no weight or air resistance.
Before he could even wonder what was going on, Kane and Harry, after confirming their safety and casting a spell to scare away the birds, slowly turned the magic door.
The next moment, Lupin finally understood what acceleration was, and not only did he understand, he also regretted it.
The broom seller had recommended that he buy a broom with a safety belt, but he felt that his flying broom skills were terrifyingly good, so he naturally refused.
But now, he feels he really needs a seatbelt!
About sixteen minutes later, Lupin, who was feeling ecstatic from the acceleration of the flying broom, could see the Malfoy Manor in the distance. The Malfoy Castle, which was neither majestic nor towering but was truly magnificent, naturally came into view of the three of them.
Kane and Harry exchanged a glance and began to slowly reduce their speed, but Lupin and his broom, who were being dragged behind them at top speed, were not so lucky.
Like a slightly loose slingshot, even though Kane and Harry were trying to control the speed, Lupin still unconsciously swung slowly forward.
Fortunately, his reflexes, honed over years in the magical world, were still incredibly sharp. He quickly pulled out his wand and used an unknown spell to gradually bring his speed under control.
The three eventually landed in a grove of trees near Malfoy Manor. Harry took out his invisibility cloak from his pocket, put it on, and prepared to go inside. Kane and Lupin, on the other hand, began to provide cover from outside Malfoy Manor.
Clearly, neither of them intended to go inside. The former, having previously kept Malfoy at an optimal anaerobic heart rate while riding a broomstick, was now directly confronting Dumbledore. According to Dumbledore, he was experiencing some PTSD, though it was unclear whether this was directed at him, Dumbledore, or his broomstick.
So it's best not to wander in there aimlessly; it's about showing consideration for the patients.
Lupin's thoughts were much simpler. He had nothing to say to his former Death Eater, and even stepping onto the grounds of Malfoy Manor made him feel nauseous.
After all, why is the grass inside the wall so green?
Who knows how much blood and money of Muggles and Muggle wizards it has been used to quench its thirst?
However, even if the two don't go inside, Harry's personal safety still needs to be guaranteed.
Kane slowly pulled a thread from his shadow and handed it to Harry, wrapping it around his neck.
"If you are in danger, you only need to hold your breath for two seconds and we will rush in to rescue you."
After Kane finished speaking, Lupin also took out his wand. Kane had already said everything, so he had nothing more to say.
But if something really goes wrong, we'll see how he handles it!
Harry nodded emphatically, pulling the invisibility cloak over his head as he thought to himself, "It feels good to have someone back me up."
Kane and Lupin, on the other hand, were leisurely sunbathing outside the manor.
Although they had made thorough preparations, to be honest, they didn't think Harry would encounter any danger.
After all, who in the entire wizarding world doesn't know that Harry is Dumbledore's sweetheart? Dumbledore scared Lucius Malfoy so badly last time, so now that Lucius sees Harry come in, his first thought is whether he has offended Dumbledore in some way again.
Then, when Harry came back to give a house-elf his freedom, Lucius truly experienced what a real-life broken window theory was like. Why would Harry need to use any tricks?
Even when Lucius was taking a bath, he would stuff a pair of underwear into Dobby's hand to quickly get rid of that treacherous house-elf and Harry, who was a summoning object that could easily attract the indescribable evil god Dumbledore.
About ten minutes later, Harry left Malfoy Manor with Dobby.
Kane and Lupin were both curious. What was Harry up to? How could he be so fast? Could Kane have really guessed right?
Harry raised an eyebrow helplessly, clearly...
Kane was absolutely right.
Lupin looked at Kane with some surprise. Seeing Kane's ability to come up with whatever came to mind, he subconsciously asked, "You'll be third year next semester. Have you thought about taking any elective courses?"
Kane shook his head: "Not yet."
"Perhaps you could try a divination class. Honestly, Kane, I think you have a talent for it," Lupin said very seriously.
"Heh, if that professor suits my taste, perhaps I really would give it a try." Kane said, glancing at the familiar elf standing behind Harry, Dobby...
"So, Dobby, what's your situation now?" he asked.
Although Dobby was standing behind Harry, he couldn't hide his excitement, gesturing wildly and shouting in a shrill voice, "Dobby...it's free!"
