While saying in that old voice, "Yes, yes! Mr. Diggory happens to be here too! Maybe you can sit down and eat something together, just like before!"

Upon hearing this, Harry's body suddenly stiffened.

If there was anyone he didn't want to meet in Hogwarts right now, it would definitely be Cedric who didn't run away.

"Thank you, but we just had lunch and can't eat anything else for the time being."

The elf had a disappointed look on his face after hearing this.

"But maybe a cup of black tea after dinner would be a good choice, what do you think?"

Mike turned to look at the three Harrys.

Ron nodded quickly.

"No! We don't need it!" Hermione put on a gentle look and said to the house elves, "Unlike some people, we will never enslave you!"

After saying that, he glared at Mike fiercely.

However, Hermione's good intentions did not receive the desired results.

After hearing her words, all the house elves around her cast resentful glances at her. The elderly house elf in front of Mike and others was even more angry and shaking all over.

"you you…"

Seeing the little elf looking so angry that he was about to lose his temper, Mike hurriedly said:

"Okay, stop inking. Prepare four cups of black tea for us, and then you can continue working."

Mike's tone was quite impolite, exactly like a tough commanding tone.

Hermione originally wanted to blame Mike, but what she didn't expect was that the trembling old elf who had just been angry suddenly recovered immediately after hearing Mike's order.

"As you wish! Mr. Townley!"

The old elf saluted happily to Mike, and then went to work. Before leaving, he glared at Hermione arrogantly.

"Are you crazy? Come back quickly!"

Hermione stepped forward to stop him, but was pulled back by Mike.

"Okay, don't be like this yet." Mike said, "Cedric happens to be here too, let's go to Cedric's place first and talk slowly. Don't worry, I will give you a satisfactory explanation about the house elves.

.”

Under Mike's pressure, Hermione finally calmed down.

Harry next to him was a little embarrassed when he heard this and said:

"This...this doesn't seem good, does it?"

"What's wrong with this? Don't worry. I know Cedric very well. He's not such a stingy guy."

After saying that, Mike took Hermione straight to the dining table he was familiar with.

Harry and Ron behind him saw this and could only follow him.

Not long after leaving, Mike saw Cedric sitting alone on the round table, enjoying a delicious meal.

"Cedric, long time no see!"

Hearing Mike's voice, Cedric quickly raised his head and said with a smile:

"Hey! Mike! You..."

Cedric stopped suddenly as he spoke, and the smile on his face disappeared.
