Chapter 156 What kind of Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher is this?!

"Dumbledore, Lupin, Harry, you're still here?" Kane, dressed lightly with only a magician's top hat on his head, entered Dumbledore's office and saw Harry discussing something with Dumbledore, and Lupin sitting on the sofa sipping hot chocolate.

Kane sat down, and Lupin, who was sitting next to him, subconsciously felt that he was a werewolf and should stay away from ordinary, healthy, and kind little wizards, so he wanted to move to the side.

However, he was also afraid that Kane might think he was looking down on him, or that he was insecure and difficult to get along with, so he stood there awkwardly, not knowing whether to move or not.

Kane then initiated the conversation: "Why haven't you finished your hot chocolate yet?"

Lupin realized what was happening and breathed a sigh of relief: "This is the third cup."

Kane nodded. "Yes, Mr. Werewolf who likes chocolate."

Meanwhile, Harry was still discussing things with Dumbledore, and he even suggested using Galleons from the Potter family's vault to buy Dobby from the Malfoys.

However, Dumbledore still didn't think this was plausible. After all, the house-elf named Dobby was kind. Perhaps he was kind, but that didn't mean he wasn't a masochist. Maybe he was currently enjoying the insults, beatings, and domination from the Malfoy family.

"Perhaps I could have it work for Hogwarts? Hogwarts wouldn't be so harsh on house-elves. Actually, I'd prefer it to make its own choice. If it needs a client, it could be Hogwarts; if it needs freedom, that's fine too," Harry suggested.

Before Dumbledore could speak, Kane, who was sitting on the sofa, quietly whispered something to Lupin.

"To be honest, I don't quite understand Harry's approach. His money is too easy to make. If I wanted to make money, I could just catch a bunch of house-elves, walk them around in front of Harry, and sell them all."

Lupin pondered for a moment: "Unlikely. House-elves are generally the private property of individual wizarding families; there are no wild ones."

"And Harry probably just didn't want a familiar friend to be killed. If Dobby hadn't disobeyed Malfoy's orders for him beforehand, he probably wouldn't have done it."

"Hmm, I get it, I get it, it's about seeing through the surface to the essence."

Just as Kane and Lupin were whispering to each other in the corner of the office, oblivious to everyone else, Harry and Dumbledore finally finished their conversation.

Dumbledore agreed to Harry's plan to rescue Dobby, but disagreed with spending money on such a pointless endeavor.

Perhaps it was Dumbledore's sudden childlike mentality at work, or perhaps he didn't approve of the behavior of mistreating house-elves, so he gave Harry a suggestion.

"The magical contract between house-elves and wizards stipulates that if a wizard personally hands over a piece of clothing, in any form, to a house-elf, it means that the house-elf has been abandoned. So perhaps you could do something with that..."

After Dumbledore finished speaking, he looked at Harry, who was deep in thought, and bluntly stated, "Don't you have an invisibility cloak?"

"Oh right! I have an invisibility cloak!" Harry realized, but then he quickly thought, "But I don't know where the Malfoys live!"

Dumbledore pointed to Kane and Lupin, who were quietly drinking tea and idly sipping their tea in the corner.

They both knew where the Malfoys lived.

The former had delivered a letter to the Malfoy family, and the latter had been working in the wizarding world for many years; these were essential pieces of information.

Kane and Lupin noticed Harry looking over and were naturally happy to offer any help they could.

However, now that they had a teammate, they pointed at each other and said, "I'm fine..."

The three of them looked at each other. Well, it seems that the first stop of this holiday is the Malfoys' house.

I wonder what Draco's expression would be if he accidentally saw the person who hit him and left him missing for almost a week at his house.

However, she probably won't show any expression.

Harry's strategy this time is to wear an invisibility cloak and sneak around...

Just as Kane took off his magician's hat and pulled out a mantis shrimp, and Harry was about to go back to his dormitory to get a fire ring, Lupin chose to look at Dumbledore to borrow Floo Powder.

For a moment, all three people in the headmaster's office looked at Lupin, but Harry finally reacted: "So, what's your plan?"

"I've fought Malfoy before; his magic isn't very advanced, so we can..."

Unfortunately, Lupin was interrupted by Harry before he could finish speaking: "I think we might be able to do it in a smarter way."

"Okay, so we're going to go sneakily?"

"Yes, we've all got our flying brooms ready... It's me." Kane said, suddenly pulling his mantis shrimp out of his hat, but Lupin let out a startled cry as soon as he picked up the broom.

"Wow! That Seamless Stretch Spell is really amazing. I didn't learn it until I was in fourth grade!" Lupin exclaimed in astonishment.

"A seamless stretching charm? What's that?" Kane turned and asked, successfully making Lupin doubt his own magical abilities: "So, you bought this hat?"

Kane shook his head: "He did it himself."

Lupin nodded. If he had done it, then he hadn't made a mistake. He then said with great certainty, "Then this is the Seamless Expansion Charm. I can't be wrong. It expands a limited space to a very large size without being visible from the outside. It can be combined with the Levitation Charm or the Lightening Charm. But Professor Dumbledore, didn't you tell Kane the name of this charm?"

Dumbledore seemed to enjoy Lupin's expression: "Well, in fact, I didn't teach Kane this spell, and not only me, no one taught Kane this spell."

Now it was Lupin's turn to be surprised. Could it really not be the Seamless Stretching Charm? So it was just some kind of simple illusion?

Does Kane always have a giant flying broom on his head?

Kane, seeing Lupin's confused and distraught expression, kindly resolved his minor doubts.

"This hat is connected to the Shadow Space, which shares a space with my little pumpkin follower and a storage box I recently made, so I use this hat as a portable storage box."

Kane's explanation only made things worse; once he did, Lupin slowly took a breath...

In short... it would be better to tell him that Kane taught himself the Unseen Twist Charm without a teacher; that would be more acceptable than him teaching himself teleportation magic without a teacher.

So, are the talents of young wizards nowadays so abstract?

Am I, an old-timer from the previous generation, already out of touch with the times?

If we get discovered at the Malfoys' house, we can't be unable to beat Draco Malfoy, can we?
