Settle at Hogwarts

"Tabor, from now on you can view all the books in the manor. In addition, you can also use all the materials. I just hope you can help your uncle in the future, okay?"

Tabor's eyes suddenly lit up. Since he could get the books he wanted directly, why should he refuse?As for future help, there is nothing wrong with helping the uncle and the Prince family as long as it does not harm one's own interests.

"Of course I have no problem, it's just my uncle..."

"It's okay, you don't have to worry about him, it's settled." After Liya made the final decision, she took Tabor to chat about other things, and the afternoon passed quickly.

At night, Tabor was lying on his bed. The room was very warm, but he had a rare insomnia.It's like in Hogwarts and Hogsmeade Village, there is a steady stream of nutrients nourishing the body and soul every day, and it stops after leaving.Although it's not uncomfortable, I always feel like something is missing.

"Artifact, are you still asleep?"

Tabor just asked casually, and the voice of the artifact's remnants did not appear in his mind.Although after many years of baptism with the artifact, he could already feel the divine power flowing through his body, but he still could not find where the fragment of the artifact was located in his body.

Perhaps for gods and artifacts, a few years is just a blink of an eye.

Tabor turned over and suddenly felt that this was not bad. Although he had the assistance of divine power, all the knowledge was recorded in his mind. Even if the artifact fragment was completely scrapped one day, he would still be able to maintain his current status. Life.

Unable to sleep, Tabor simply sat up, picked up the wand from the pillow, lit the oil lamp in the room, and then summoned a book, thinking it was to kill the boring time. Anyway, with his current physique, he could It won't be a problem if you don't sleep at night.

In fact, it's not that Tabor likes reading very much, but it's just that apart from reading, there seems to be no other evening entertainment suitable for him in the wizarding world.

Time passed very quickly, and in a blink of an eye, the sky began to turn a fish belly white. Tabor moved his somewhat stiff body, washed his face, put on a new robe, and then walked out of the room.

"Young master, you are up. Do you want breakfast?"

Looking at Keke who suddenly appeared in front of him and was almost kicked away, Tabor couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth.

"Okay, help me take it to the restaurant. By the way, are grandma and the others up?"

"Little master, your grandparents have already gotten up, but they all had breakfast in their rooms. As for your uncle, he went out early in the morning."

Tabor nodded. Although he felt that Keke seemed to be too attentive to him today, he didn't think much about it and walked to the dining table alone to sit down.

Koko happened to walk to the restaurant with a large tray, and took down a cup of steaming milk, two slices of fried golden bread, a large plate of potato salad, and two slices of steaming milk. Oily steak.

"Little master, these are breakfasts specially prepared by Koko for little master. If the little master doesn't have enough, there are many more in the kitchen."

"Koko, what happened today? You seem to be a little different."

When Keke heard Tabor's question, her eyes were filled with tears: "The little master discovered that something is wrong with Keke. Bad Keke, the little master actually cares about Keke so much..."

Tabor rubbed his sore forehead and tried to sound serious: "Okay, Keke, I order you to stop and tell me what exactly happened."

"Koko, Koko heard that the old master wanted to give little Master Tabor a house elf for Christmas. They said that it would be inconvenient for little Master Tabor to come in and out of the school in the future, and the owl couldn't carry too many things. Keke wants to follow the little master, but the old master is interested in Duoduo. Bad Keke, how can Keke question the decisions of the masters? "

Tabor was a little surprised by his grandfather's idea. The year he first came to Prince Manor with his parents, his grandmother gave him the power to summon and order Koko to do things.But Koko is still an elf belonging to the Prince family.Even the title is just an honorific with blurred boundaries.

Later, the name of the master only made Tabor think that his grandfather might have the intention to bring him or his father's branch back into the family.

Tabor suddenly thought of a book he had seen in Prince's library, and that book mentioned house elves.

According to the description in the book, creatures like house elves did not exist from the beginning. They were creatures domesticated or created by powerful wizards. They attached themselves to wizards and could survive on the manors left by wizards.Their magic power is powerful, but that power does not come from their short bodies, but is provided more by the families to which they are attached.

Tabor stared at Koko for a long time, but did not find any connection between the magic power on it and the Prince Manor.Just take a look and pass.Until today, I suddenly heard that my grandfather wanted to give away a house elf, and I immediately thought of that book.

"Koko, why does grandpa suddenly want to send an elf away? You know, you are very capable."

Adhering to the good habit of asking questions when you don't understand, since house elves don't know how to lie anyway, Tubbo simply asked the doubts in his heart.

"The little master praised Keke!" Keke was so excited that he almost fainted, but he still said, "Whenever a little master is born in the wizard family we serve, a new elf may appear. My mother gave birth to me and my sister at that time. But when the family was stronger, it was possible to give birth to more elves. My sister had Duoduo and Bibi."

Tabor nodded slightly and continued to listen to Keke's story while eating breakfast.

"When we serve in a wizarding family, we can get more powerful magic and a longer lifespan, but the old master feels that there are too many elves in the family. My sister used to spend most of her time helping in the potion shop in Diagon Alley. Bibi takes care of little master Erin, and neither Duoduo nor Keke want to become useless elves, that’s really scary!”

Tabor barely understood what Koko meant, and then he realized that elves need to rely on wizards to survive. There is not even one elf in Axel Manor, and there are three wizards. Naturally, it is a favorite in the eyes of elves. .

Thinking about it this way, if the number of members in a family decreases, will the number of house elves also gradually decrease?
