On the other side, as soon as the few people got out of the car, Mrs. Weasley rushed out of the house.
"Thank God you guys finally have a day off!"
She had the kettle on her waist and a big new brush in her hand, and she came straight towards Kyle.
"Kyle, you..."
At this moment, Ron suddenly looked at the house-elf following her with surprise.
"Oh, you must be Doba... Oh no, it seems to be Dobby!"
"Yes, this Mr. Weasley." Dobby said respectfully.
"It called me sir!" Ron looked a little excited.
"If you like..." Fred smiled, "We can call you that, too."
"Dear Mr. Ron Weasley, could you please move your luggage back to your room now?" George chuckled.
Ron's face flushed red.
But just as he was about to pick up his luggage, Dobby had already stacked the boxes together and carried them back to the Burrow.
"That's really convenient," Ginny exclaimed.
"yes……"
Ron also forgot about Fred and George's previous teasing and began to look forward to a life of ease and comfort.
"Convenient? I don't think so."
Mrs. Weasley muttered quietly, away from their attention.
She pulled Kyle aside and made sure Dobby was not nearby before asking expectantly, "Dear, although it may be too much to say this, can you really send Dobby away?"
"Of course, Mrs. Weasley." Kyle nodded, "But it's too late today. I will take it away tomorrow."
"That's good, that's good." Mrs. Weasley breathed a sigh of relief. "If possible, please try not to hurt it. Dobby is really a good child, but..."
She suddenly sighed and said, "Arthur's appetite has been getting smaller and smaller recently. I know he wants to eat the food I cook."
"I also tried to discuss it with Dobby, but every time he was terrified and thought he wasn't doing well enough, and he would bang his head against the table."
"I understand, Mrs. Weasley..." Kyle nodded, "Leave it to me."
While the two were talking, the others had already walked into the Burrow.
Dobby prepared a large table of cookies and desserts in advance, saying that it was for everyone to fill their stomachs before dinner.
But the table full of cookies is more than enough to be eaten as a meal.
At this rate, the Weasleys' food expenses will obviously increase significantly...
Kyle found Dobby busy in the kitchen, preparing ingredients for dinner and desserts such as pudding.
"gentlemen!"
After seeing Kyle, Dobby immediately stopped what he was doing and said, "Thank you for helping Dobby find a new job. Dobby likes it here very much."
"I'm glad you like it." Kyle said, "It just so happens that I have something to tell you. Can I invite you to my house?"
"Invite...you just said, invite!"
Dobby scratched his big ears excitedly, his whole face turned brown and red, "Dobby is willing."
Afterwards, Kyle took Dobby back to his home.
"Good news."
Seeing Dobby eager to try and unable to resist wiping the floor, Kyle quickly said, "You have passed the probation period."
"Probation...period?"
Dobby looked confused, obviously not understanding what this meant.
"To put it simply, the company you just visited is not where you actually work."
Kyle gave the reason he had thought of long ago, and said the rest of the words in time before Dobby wanted to bang his head on the floor.
"You need to work for another family, but the owner there is very picky and only the best house-elves will be recognized by them."
It seems that some key words were triggered...
"Dobby can... Dobby is the best house-elf!"
Fortunately, the floor escaped damage.
"Of course, Mrs. Weasley has already told me." Kyle nodded and continued, "You have passed her test and are qualified to work there."
……
After Kyle's persuasion, Dobby quickly believed what he said.
But it insisted on finishing tonight's dinner before leaving the Weasley family, otherwise it would rather not be the "best house-elf".
Kyle had no reason to refuse. They were not leaving until tomorrow anyway, so tonight wouldn't make a difference.
Mrs. Weasley readily agreed.
After dealing with Dobby's problem, Mr. Weasley just came back, and with him were Chris and Diana.
The meeting after a year was not as warm as expected...
As soon as Diana saw Kyle, she immediately frowned and began to blame him for touching time. She also said that when he found himself going back to the past, he should write a letter home as soon as possible.
"Even if I can't receive the letter, you can tell your father... He can always find me..."
Diana narrowed her eyes. "If it weren't for Dumbledore, I wouldn't even know that you had such a wonderful time in school..."
"Are all the teachers in the school dead? I need you to solve the secret room..."
Chris lowered his head, as if he hadn't heard anything. In order to avoid being implicated, he slipped out the door quietly and hid in the Burrow.
The lecture lasted for more than half an hour, and it finally ended after Kyle repeatedly assured him that Salazar Slytherin had promised to help him smooth out the impact of the time travel.
As a Slytherin graduate, Diana had an inexplicable admiration and trust for the founder.
Just like Lockhart's admirers at the beginning of the school year, he believed everything he said.
……
I finally waited until night.
The Kyle family set off for the Burrow at the invitation of Mr. Weasley.
Dobby used up all the ingredients and turned them all into a hearty delicacy.
Mr. Weasley had to conjure up a larger dining table just to fit the plates.
Because the meal was so sumptuous, the dinner lasted nearly two hours. Ron held his stomach and slumped in his chair, unwilling to move.
This meal was almost like a party at school.
Enjoying a banquet at home... This was something he had never imagined before. No wonder so many people wanted a house-elf.
"That's great..." Ron thought.
Fred and George were also very happy. With the house-elf, Mrs. Weasley no longer had to clean their room and find the things they hid under the bed.
And Percy…house elves were notoriously quiet when doing their chores, so they wouldn't disturb him.
……
Thanks to skydod for the reward

Chapter 335: Newt the Loser
Dorset, a lush forest.
This place is sparsely populated, with only a beautiful wooden house in the middle of the forest, where lives Newt Scamander, a famous magical animal expert in the wizarding world.
In the early morning, a burst of explosions broke the tranquility of the forest.
On a tree not far away, an evil bird poked its head out, and several strange-looking beetles crawled out from several tree holes and lined up to crawl into another tree hole.
Dobby looked around nervously. When he first arrived here, he inexplicably felt a sense of danger. The trembling feeling made him subconsciously want to escape from here and run far away.
Fortunately, that feeling disappeared very quickly, as if it had never appeared.
Kyle walked it down a cobblestone path, knocked on the door and entered the cabin.
Newt and Tina had received the news in advance and were waiting in the room.
"Dear, is this the house-elf you mentioned in the letter?" Tina looked at the two of them and asked.
"Hello, ma'am, my name is Dobby, and I'm a free house-elf." Dobby bowed.
"Hello, Dobby, nice to meet you." Tina smiled.
Dobby was so excited by this that he bowed so quickly that his long nose almost touched the floor.
Tina didn't object to Kyle bringing a house-elf.
Just like he said in the letter, Newt is really old and it would be nice to have an extra helper.
But Newt himself doesn't think so.
He felt that he was fully capable of taking care of those magical animals and didn't need any help at all.
Unfortunately, he has no say in this family, and Tina never asked for his opinion from beginning to end.
Look, he is still sulking beside me... although this is also useless.
The atmosphere of the first meeting was quite harmonious. Tina stood up and walked in front of Dobby.
"I agree to hire you. Your job is to take care of some difficult magical animals."
"No problem. Dobby has taken care of cruppies and peacocks before."
A crup?
Peacock?
Tina raised an eyebrow and glanced at Kyle, "Didn't you tell it anything before?"
