The horned woman's anger shocked the two of them. Fred was the first to react. He pulled Anna and ran. The two of them ran up the stairs as the woman muttered loudly.
Spiders, frogs, shriveled skulls — the standard items of Overturn Alley. Anna immediately saw the unique frog shop, the frogs' eyes were looking at them.
Fred's face was a little red. Perhaps it was due to the shock of his age, or perhaps he was just tired from running. "I-I-I … don't know where this place is …"
"This way." Anna remembered that the frog shop was not far from Gringotts and Diagon Alley's main street.
The two of them ran as fast as they could, and it didn't take long for them to reach Diagon Alley 92.
"George!" The moment they entered, they saw George lying on a small sofa. Fred ran over to check his breathing.
George woke up in a daze, pushing away Fred's hand that was about to touch his nostrils. "What happened?" He looked at the two covered in dust. "What did I miss?"
"You fainted, do you remember what happened?" Anna was curious as to why George would appear at the door.
"I was pulling the toilet door handle, it was dark, I couldn't see anything. I could only hear your movements, then nothing else?
Maybe I fainted at that time … "
"That's it?" Fred was surprised. "You didn't hear anything?
You didn't hear any incantations? "
"No … The only strange thing was that I heard the sound of someone uncorking the barrel of Butter Beer. It was a very clear 'pa' sound."
Anna took Mr. Mighty from the table and put it on her shoulder. She was thinking about what weapon could take someone down with a 'pa' sound. Suddenly, she heard —
"Pa!"
The sound of a cork being uncorked came from a shelf. The three of them looked over and saw a small figure appear from behind the shelf. It had thin arms and legs, bat-like sharp ears, and a pair of blue eyes that were the size of tennis balls.
It was wearing a pillowcase, and it looked very awkward.
"A house elf?" George was surprised. "I thought that places with house elves would be clean!"
"Wow!
Were you the one who knocked my brother out just now? "Fred asked the house elf loudly.
The shriveled figure walked out, looking very nervous and guilty. His shrill voice sounded, "Dudu didn't want to do this, Dudu didn't want to do this … Dudu only wanted to scare you away …"
"Then why did you give us a flashlight?"
Dudu glanced at Fred. "I'm sorry, sir. Dudu wanted to throw the flashlight at you …"
"Hey!" the twins shouted.
"Then why did you stop attacking?" Anna stared at Dudu. "Or why didn't you come into the bedroom to catch us?"
"Without Master's permission, Dudu can't enter the bedroom … Master told Dudu not to let others know the secret of the house …" The elf wiped her tears. "But Mr. Keyhole told Dudu that the secret has already been known … Oh … bad Dudu … failed to complete Master's task …"
Dudu takes out a rope. Anna thinks that it is going to kill her, but she sees that it is trying to strangle her.
"Your master is Bollen Geliard?"
Anna is at a loss. "I'm Anna Lawrence, his great-granddaughter. I'm not 'others'." Anna introduced the twins. "This is Fred and this is George. They are my friends, not 'others' either."
"Miss Lena's daughter!
The last time I saw Miss Lena, she was still a little girl! "
The rope hanging around Dudu's neck looks a little funny. It looks at Anna with an emotional expression. "The same curly hair, green eyes … Oh!
This necklace!
Dudu should have known … Yes!
Of course, Miss Anna and her friends are not 'others'. Dudu is happy to serve you! "

"Can you add a few more windows here?"
George is a little curious. He wants to know how the elf is going to cast a spell. The Weasley family does not have a house elf, but George may be disappointed. Dudu has no intention of using magic.
"Oh!
Of course! "
Dudu is very happy. It walks to the keyhole Anna used to enter Diagon Alley 92 for the first time and knocks twice on the wall. "Mr. Keyhole, please change the window back."
"Tsk." Mr. Keyhole makes a sound of dissatisfaction, but still starts to move. Anna sees some wall tiles rotate to the sides like the entrance to Diagon Alley, creating a hole. Light spills in, and Anna can see the fine dust in the air of the room. After a slight noise, the window grows out from the bricks below the hole.
It's really magical.
