Chapter 206 New Home

Mike and Professor Flitwick stayed directly at Foley Manor that day because their tea party lasted until the evening.

Although the conversation lasted a long time and most of the conversation was old news, Mike, who has an adult soul, still listened with interest.

Because the few people here are not ordinary people, Professor Flitwick will not talk about it. Uncle Mario is the patriarch of the Flitwick family. Mike can be said to have benefited a lot from their conversations.

After this day's tea party, Mike also learned more about the Foley family.

Abt's mother died in childbirth when giving birth to his sister Elaine. After that, Uncle Mario did not remarry, and because of this his sister Elaine has always blamed herself.

But Elen is the most favored among the entire Foley family, because she is not only the little princess of the Foley family, but she also looks exactly like Abt's mother.

When Mike asked about Princess Elian's appearance, Abt and Uncle Mario both praised her and praised Elian to the sky. Moreover, Uncle Mario directly stated that he would introduce Elian to Mike when she comes back. If Mike has the ability to catch Elian, he would also be willing to be Mike's father-in-law.

Of course Mike said this as a joke, but in his heart he was like a mirror.

There's a good chance Uncle Mario means it.

The Foley family had been marrying in a small circle for many years in order to keep their bloodline pure, which caused their fertility to drop drastically. Now there are only three people left in the direct line of the entire Foley family, so they are in urgent need of fresh blood from outside.

And they generally look down on Muggle-born wizards, but Mike, a little guy who has become famous recently, is very suitable to be their son-in-law.

At that time, the Foley family not only prostituted a top wizard for nothing, but also improved their genes. It was like killing two birds with one stone.

To this, Mike just wanted to say, sugar-coated bullets, I sugar-coated the bullets and hit them back, do you want me to be your son-in-law? That is impossible!

Early the next morning, Mike woke up in a guest room east of Foley Manor.

Since Mike was used to sleeping on his side, when he opened his eyes, he saw a short house elf wearing a black and white beret carefully placing a tray with hot milk and toast next to the bed. on the bedside table.

Mike's sudden awakening seemed to frighten the little guy, and he screamed and got under the bed.

Mike, who had just woken up and was still not quite awake, looked at Beta's operation in confusion. After a while, he cleared his throat and said, "Um, Beta, right?"

"Yes Master!"

A high-pitched voice came from under Mike's bed, and then a huge head appeared little by little from the bed.

"what time is it now?"

"Seven thirty-eight master!"

"Why are you here to bring me breakfast, where is the house elf in Foley Manor?"

As soon as these words came out, Beta became excited. He stood up straight and looked at Mike like a puppy that just picked up a ball and longed for praise from its owner. He said, "Those house elves are all very careless. I I couldn’t bear to worry so I took away their jobs!”

Seeing Beta almost sticking his tongue out, Mike, who had lived with Lolo for a long time, naturally understood what it meant. He stretched out his hand and gently touched Beta's smooth forehead and praised: "It's really good. Thank you."

Mike's action seemed to trigger some mechanism. Beta's big eyes were immediately filled with tears, and then it pulled its ears frantically while shouting, 'Master praised me! ’ He ran out of Mike’s room, leaving Mike confused again.

But five minutes later, Mike's door was opened again.

The person who pushed open the door was Shuke, who was holding hot water towels and other toiletries in his hands, while Beta followed his brother dejectedly. It was obvious that he had just been taught a lot.

"Master, please wash up." Beta controlled the basin to float in front of Mike with a solemn expression, and then said, "Please forgive Beta, he is really a little too naughty. I have taught him a lesson before."

"No, no, it's good like Shuke. In fact, you don't have to be too cautious." Mike said while washing, "You all know that I am a Muggle, so I am not used to doing those messy things. From now on, we We are a family, we support each other and help each other.”

To be honest, Mike's words to win people's hearts were extremely perfunctory, especially since he was washing up while saying this, so he seemed even more insincere.

Anyone with an online IQ and EQ would be able to tell that Mike was just saying polite words, but such an extremely insincere polite word made Beta moved to tears again, because his brother Beta was just here. No attacks like last time.

Even the stern Shu Ke had red eyes and was obviously very moved.

After Mike finished washing, he started to enjoy breakfast. As he was eating, he seemed to suddenly think of something. He raised his head and said to Shukbeta who was standing by: "By the way, you should all be able to apparate, right?" "

"Of course, Master."

"Then can you lead people to apparate?"

"I'm sorry, Master. Since Beta usually neglects to exercise, I am the only one who can take people with me for the time being. And with my current magic power, I can only take one person at a time."

After saying this, Beta lowered her head in frustration. For a house elf, not being able to share the worries of its master is the greatest shame.

Mike waved his hand to indicate not to pay attention and then began to think deeply.

Both house elves and goblins can use magic, but their magic system is completely different from that of wizards. Therefore, they do not need a wand to cast spells.

This does not mean that they cannot use wands. In fact, wands are like powerful magic amplifiers. Goblins have always longed to have the technology to make wands, and wizards relied on wands to defeat many magical creatures and became serfs. singing. Therefore, wizards never allowed other creatures to use wands. For this reason, goblins and wizards broke out several wars. Of course, the result was that the wizards with the blessing of wands came home victorious.

Nowadays, all wands have restrictions added when they are made to ensure that other creatures cannot use the wand.

On the other hand, because the magic system of house elves is different from that of wizards, their apparation is also different. Their apparation can even ignore the spatial restrictions of Hogwarts and can be used in Hogwarts. The reason is that the spatial restrictions of Hogwarts are aimed at humans and have no defense against magical creatures.

This is good news for Mike, because it means that his mobility in Hogwarts will be greatly enhanced in the future. If he wants to go outside the school during school, he no longer has to report. He can directly ask Shuke to take him to change. Just apparate.

After finishing breakfast, Mike dismissed Shuk and Beta, and after saying goodbye to Uncle Mario, he and Professor Flitwick returned to Godric's Hollow.

But Flitwick and Mike didn't stay too long after being teleported to Flitwick's house through the fireplace, and went straight out to find Mike's new home.

Professor Flitwick was very familiar with the entire Godric's Hollow and took Mike directly to No. 518 Godric's Hollow.

What appeared in front of Mike was a somewhat dilapidated villa. From the outside, this villa looked much larger than Professor Flitwick's home. It was a two-and-a-half-story standard English villa with a loft.

The part outside the villa near the road is surrounded by wooden fences. Due to the disrepair of these fences, a lot of the white paint painted on them has fallen off, making them look mottled.

The fenced garden was also overgrown with weeds because it had not been maintained for a long time. Mike even saw many gnomes playing happily in the grass.

Mike and Professor Flitwick looked at each other and walked towards the villa, but Professor Flitwick remained unmoved.

"Mike, this villa has a protective spell. Anyone who steps into this villa without the owner's permission will be attacked, so you have to allow me to enter the villa first."

Flitwick looked at Mike helplessly, and at this moment, Mike patted his head as if he had a sudden realization, opened the door of the villa and bowed to Flitwick, making the sign of the hotel doorman to come in.

He would have forgotten about it if he hadn't mentioned it to Mike. The villa, which was originally used as a safe house, had very strong protection and restrictions. Even a top wizard like Professor Flitwick would encounter a huge problem if he stepped into the villa rashly. Trouble.

And it also has a Muggle expulsion spell attached. Muggles without magic cannot see this villa. In their eyes, this is just a wasteland. In fact, they will not even see the wasteland, and the existence of this villa is completely zero in their eyes.

After stepping into the villa with Professor Flitwick, Mike discovered that compared to the bad appearance outside, the situation inside the villa was actually not bad.

The ground on the first floor of the villa is paved with marble with complex patterns. Since no one has taken care of it for a long time, there is a thick layer of dust on it. And when Mike swept away a large amount of dust, he miraculously discovered that the marble floor here had no trace of splicing, as if it were paved with a whole marble slab.

The floors on the second floor are dark wooden floors. Compared with the marble floors on the first floor, their condition is a bit worrying. Many places are damaged, and Mike has decided to replace them later.

The furniture in the villa is fully equipped, and because the previous owner covered them with dust-proof white cloth before leaving, the furniture is in good condition.

Overall, this is a very good villa, of course, it also has its shortcomings.

First of all, although this villa looks much larger than Flivi's home, because there is no traceless expansion spell attached to it, the actual area is much smaller than that of Flivi's home.

Secondly, because this villa was previously used as a safe house, the fireplace in the villa is just a very ordinary fireplace. It is not connected to the Ministry of Magic's floo network (a magical transportation network that links various fireplaces). Use the fireplace to teleport.

Of course, these are minor issues.

Currently, only Mike and two house elves live in this villa, so there is enough space.

The problem of Floo network is more troublesome, because applying for Floo network requires reporting to the Ministry of Magic, and the British Ministry of Magic is famous for its ink marks. It may take ten days and a half for ordinary people to apply for it.

However, Professor Flitwick has already taken this into consideration for him, so he has already asked the students from the Ministry of Magic who specialize in handling the Floo network. The installation personnel will come here to install the Floo network at the latest tomorrow.

After rejecting Professor Flitwick's request to stay and clean together and sending him away, Mike stood in the living room on the first floor of the villa and snapped his fingers:

"Shuke, Beta."

As soon as Mike finished speaking, Shuke and Beta appeared in front of him out of thin air, and both bowed to say hello to him.

"Okay, this is our home from now on." Mike looked around and said to them, "How can the new home be so dirty! Then let's start cleaning it!"

The word "our home" clearly irritated the fragile nerves of Shuke and Beta. They raised their hands and shouted "Hello" loudly before starting to clean.

Their cleaning method is very special, and they basically don't need to do it themselves. Generally, except for those particularly valuable things that they need to carefully wipe by themselves, such as cleaning the floor, they rely on magic to complete the work.

They were seen walking through the villa like phantoms, and with the waving of their arms, a strong wind blew in the villa.

The strong wind blew up all the dust on the floor and furniture, and flew out along the open door, disappearing without a trace.

They were more meticulous in dealing with the weeds and gnomes in the garden. They made throwing motions towards the garden with their hands, and then large swaths of black powder appeared out of thin air and flew towards the weeds.

As soon as it came into contact with the black powder, the originally lush weeds quickly withered, and were finally uprooted and piled aside.

Perhaps because they hadn't seen anyone for a long time, the goblins came out of the ground to check what was going on outside after discovering something strange in the garden.

Taking this opportunity, Shuke pinched dozens of goblins to death with a gentle grab of his little hand, while the remaining goblins all fled back underground.

Shuke saw this and didn't pursue it anymore. The tunnels of these goblins were very complicated. If he wanted to completely eradicate them, he had to go to Diagon Alley to buy a potion specially used to kill goblins, so he was in no hurry at this moment.

Seeing how enthusiastic they were, Mike also rolled up his sleeves and prepared to go out and help.

But as soon as he showed that he wanted to help, Shuke and Beta started banging their heads against the wall, as if we would commit suicide together if you said you wanted to work again.

Seeing this, Mike had no choice but to take back his wand. Seeing that he couldn't help here, he threw Shuke a traceless stretching spell bag containing 100 gold galleons as funds for purchasing daily items and left the villa. Arrive at Professor Flitwick's house.

And when Mike came back after dinner in the evening, he saw that the villa that was originally in a mess had changed drastically.
