Chapter 110: Lili
During the holiday, Hogwarts was very cold and cheerless. No students were running around, and no noisy people.
The huge castle gave people a lonely and quiet feeling.
Coven went all the way to Headmaster's room, and Dumbledore was already waiting. After all, they had contacted each other in advance.
"Good morning, Mr. Headmaster."
Coven greeted him politely after entering the house.
Dumbledore saw this and nodded with a smile. "You too, Little Coven."
After that, Dumbledore deliberately observed Coven's whole body. Looking at the high-end premium clothes all over his body, he couldn't help but continue to laugh. "The Weasley family wrote to me about you. It's hard to believe that you actually made so much gold Galleon with your friends."
"I only expected to make a lot of money back then." Coven responded with some 'Versailles'. However, I didn't expect that we would earn so much in the end. Everyone actually got five million gold.
"Sharing is a virtue, but you have to try to control it and maintain a good mentality," Dumbledore said, looking very satisfied.
"I will," Coven answered without any resistance. After all, he had lived a rich life before he crossed over, so he did not have the heart of a nouveau riche and did not value money.
Not intending to continue this topic, Dumbledore said, "Then, let's decide the candidate for the' secret keeper '."
Saying this, Dumbledore took out a scroll from the drawer, then loosened his hand, and the scroll automatically floated in front of Coven.
When Coven took the scroll, Dumbledore said, "On it is the personal contract of all the elves in Hogwarts. Choose one of them."
"Yes, Mr. Headmaster." Coven did not open the scroll, but said directly, "In fact, I already have a candidate. It is..."
"That's enough!" Dumbledore suddenly interrupted and then said kindly, "You don't have to tell me or anyone else who you chose. The fewer people who know the identity of the ' secret keeper ', the better."
Coven heard this and nodded.
Next, under Dumbledore's guidance, Coven entered the lounge next to him and made his choice of raising the elves.
Just like what Coven had just said, he already had a candidate in his heart. It was the elf named Lili.
Every time he went to the kitchen, Lili would serve him meticulously. Moreover, Lili was one of the most powerful elves among all the elves.
According to Dumbledore's method, Coven opened the scroll and used his wand to point at Lili's name, silently chanting a contract spell.
The next moment, the house-elf Lili suddenly appeared in front of Coven with a blank look on her face.
However, after seeing Coven, Lili immediately became happy and immediately asked, "Mr. Quinn! What do you need to do for summoning Lili over?"
"It's like this."
Immediately, Coven transferred the contract and told the other party about the secret keeper.
After hearing this, Lili was already moved to tears. Bean-sized tears kept falling from his eyes, and he cried out, "Great! Lili has a master! Master actually trusts Lili so much! Lili is actually fortunate enough to be a secret protector of Master!"
Little Elf Lili cried and cried as she rejoiced. She continuously clenched her fists and knocked them on her forehead, as if to verify if she was dreaming.
Seeing this, Coven hurriedly opened her mouth to stop Lili's self-mutilation. "Stop, Lili! Listen to me!"
"Yes! Master, please instruct Lili to do anything!"
Seeing that the other party had completely executed his orders and stopped self-mutilation, Coven continued, "There are some things that I have to say in advance."
Lili immediately put on an exhausted look and solemnly nodded, "Master, please speak!"
"It's like this. You elves have a custom that you can't accept Master's gift, right?"
"Yes, Master!"
"But I need to prepare some clothes for you in advance." Coven said, " I like clean and tidy servants, so I need to stipulate your future attire. In this way, can it be considered as removing the contract between us?"
"No, no, no! No, Master!" Lili shook his head violently and said urgently, "As long as Master does not give me a gift for no reason, it does not mean that the contract is lifted!"
"Very good," Coven nodded in satisfaction.
Next, Coven asked Lili for the size of the clothing and prepared to go to the clothing store in Diagon Alley to customize a batch of clothes.
Then, Coven warned, "There's one more thing."
"Please instruct me, Master!" Lili couldn't wait to work for his master, Coven, so her expression was full of hope.
"When I was in school, I needed you to still work in Hogwarts and wear the clothes you are wearing." In order to muddle through the possible investigation, Coven arranged to Lili, "You only need to go home every week to clean up the house. You can come home with me during the holidays."
"Yes! Lili will listen to Master!"
"Also, don't show any abnormalities when working in Hogwarts." Coven continued to warn, "To prevent other elves from seeing anything, you have to maintain your previous working condition. Can you do it?"
Hearing this, Lili immediately nodded, "I can! Lili promises to do it!"
"Very good. Go back to the kitchen first and wait for me to summon you." Coven smiled and reached out his hand, gently stroking Lili's little head.
Lili had a look of enjoyment like a pet. She shrank her neck and closed her eyes with a smile.
When Coven retracted his hand, Lili looked reluctant. Under Coven's urging, she instantly disappeared and returned to the kitchen.
Coven walked out of the lounge and returned the contract scroll to Dumbledore.
"Have you arranged everything?" Dumbledore asked.
"Yes, Mr. Headmaster." Coven replied, "Then I'll go back first and prepare to add Secret Charm to the house."
"Okay." Dumbledore smiled kindly. "Then see you at school. If you have any difficulties, write to me at any time."
"Thank you, Mr. Headmaster, then goodbye."
In Dumbledore's response, Coven left the office and walked all the way out of Hogwarts. He got into the carriage and returned home.
More than ten minutes later, Coven got off at the door of the 'Wonderful House' door and turned the carriage back into stone. Then he opened his mouth and called, "Lili!"
Sou!
A slight air-breaking sound was heard. Under the influence of the agreement, the little elf Lili instantly appeared in front of Coven.
"Master! Lili is waiting for your orders!"
Coven raised his hand and pointed at the 'Wonderful House'. "Go, give the house, including the entire courtyard 'Fidelius Charm'."
"I will obey your orders!"
Lili bowed in a very serious manner and respectfully asked, "Master, please give the wand to Lili."
Coven took out the wand and handed it over.
Lili respectfully took the wand with both hands and turned around solemnly to face the courtyard...
