Chapter 567 Preparing for and Heading to the Ministry of Magic in London

Hogwarts, kitchen.

The Hogwarts kitchen is located in the basement of the castle, connected to the Hufflepuff common room.

The kitchen door was a fruit painting. Andy found the position of a pear among the many fruits and stretched out his hand to scratch it.

"Hahaha--"

The pear in the painting laughed and then turned into a green doorknob.

"It's quite interesting..."

Andy chuckled and opened the kitchen door.

Many people don't know that there are many house elves living in the kitchens of Hogwarts. They are not only responsible for making food, but also responsible for cleaning the castle.

Otherwise, Filch alone would not be able to clear the entire castle even if he was exhausted.

It's just that no one noticed them.

Being able to handle all the housework without being discovered by anyone is the basic quality of a good house elf.

But that's not what Andy was interested in.

House elves are not subject to anti-Apparition magic and can Apparate anywhere.

Andy really didn't dare to participate in this operation without a house elf.

The kitchen is large and high.

Pots, pans and other tableware are neatly placed on the shelves along the wall, and on the other side is a huge fireplace made of bricks.

"Hello, Mr. Collins."

A house elf bowed respectfully, its nose almost touching the ground, "Can I help you?"

"You know me?" Andy asked in surprise.

This was Andy's first time in the Hogwarts kitchen, and he had never seen these house elves before.

How do they know me?

Am I already so famous?

Andy felt a little dazed for a moment.

"certainly!"

The house elf said proudly: "We know all the professors and students in the castle. When school starts, we must accurately deliver everyone's luggage to the corresponding dormitory."

"We've never made a mistake in a thousand years."

That's it...

Andy suddenly felt an indescribable feeling in his heart.

These house elves... they have lived in Hogwarts their entire lives and served Hogwarts their entire lives. But no one remembers them, and not many even know they exist.

They gave everything silently, but they cannot appear in front of people at will.

And this group of house elves are proud of it.

Andy glanced at the house elves... Their faces were respectful, and they were respectful from the bottom of their hearts. They regarded serving wizards as their greatest responsibility and honor.

What a miserable life!

Andy didn't know what the original house elves had gone through. Is it war? Or...are they originally service-oriented personalities?

But it doesn't matter anymore.

Although Andy felt sorry for them, he would not change everything rashly.

you are not a fish, how to know the joy of fish?

What's more, if the house elves are liberated, who knows if humans will have another enemy?

"I need a little help."

Andy said straight to the point: "Dumbledore has agreed. Is any of you willing to help me?"

The house elf who spoke first said, "We are happy to oblige you, Mr. Collins."

"Thank you!" Andy nodded.

"Don't ever say that!"

The house elf was suddenly frightened, "It's our honor to be able to help you."

Andy raised his eyebrows, but didn't say much.

"Come with me!" Andy said.

After leaving the kitchen, Andy used the Disillusionment Spell and took the little elf outside the castle.

"Mr. Collins, where are we going?" the house elf asked curiously.

Andy stopped and did not answer the question. Instead, he quickly pulled out his wand and whispered: "Out of body experience!"

With the house elf under control, Andy put it into the pocket of the Space Expansion Spell.

At this moment, it is already five ten in the afternoon.

There are only the last twenty minutes left before the agreed five-thirty.

Andy tidied his clothes, smoothed his hair, and then walked towards the agreed place.

"Andy, you're here!" Harry had arrived a long time ago, and when he saw Andy appearing, his face was filled with surprise.

He couldn't wait any longer.

"Um!"

Andy responded, and then said calmly: "Let's go! Let's go to the Forbidden Forest first."

"Andy, how do we get there?"

Harry followed Andy towards the Forbidden Forest and asked, "The Ministry of Magic is located in London, and ordinary transportation cannot get there quickly."

"But we can fly there on a hippogriff, I happen to know one. Or... a broomstick will do."

"What?" Andy was stunned.

What beast?

"The hippogriff."

Harry explained: "They have the head, wings and front paws of an eagle, and the back half...including the legs and tail are like a horse."

"Hagrid knows them, he's interested in them..."

Harry talked a lot and seemed a little nervous.

"All right!"

Andy said speechlessly: "We have other ways."

Soon, Andy took Harry to the Forbidden Forest.

"Harry, put your hand on my arm." Andy stretched out his arm for Harry to catch up.

"Uh... okay!" Harry was stunned when he heard this, but he didn't ask any more questions. Instead, he put his hand on Andy's arm as he was told.

As soon as the two touched, Andy immediately performed the Apparition.

Harry felt dizzy for a moment, and when he saw the surrounding environment again, the two had already arrived in an alley in London.

"You..." A middle-aged man looked at Andy and Harry who suddenly appeared with horror, and opened his mouth to scream loudly.

"Oblivion!" Andy directly pulled out his wand.

"Uh..."

Harry was a little unnatural, "Andy, is he okay?"

"No, he will just lose his memory of us." Andy explained.

Harry didn't ask any more questions, he knew this magic.

"Did we just Apparition?" Harry asked again.

"Yeah!"

Andy nodded and said, "The Ministry of Magic is just below here. There is a telephone booth a hundred meters away that can directly connect to the Ministry of Magic."

"Are we going now?" Harry asked immediately.

"Well... let's eat first."

Andy led Harry out of the alley, saying as they walked: "It's not without reason that I said we'll meet at 5:30. The Ministry of Magic employees get off work at 5:30, which is still a while away."

"When they're all gone, it will probably be around 6 o'clock. I left some time on purpose just to try some Muggle food."

"By the way!"

"Harry, do you have money? I don't have Muggle money."

Harry: "..."
