Chapter 450： 23 things to know about house elves

Ever since Fish kissed her in class that day, Hermione found herself once again becoming a man of the school... The last time she was in the limelight was when she drank Potion and turned into a half-man, half-cat.

Now that she is walking on the road, not only are the classmates often pointing at her, even the professor will show a meaningful smile from time to time when she sees her, and Dumbledore even jokingly calls her Hermione. Miss McGonagall.

However, the target that Hermione expected didn't appear much, that is, there were occasional yin and yang from Slytherin girls. Although the girls from the other three academies were envious, they did not behave much different from before.

The identity of Hermione's girlfriend has been known to everyone for a long time. The most important thing is... Hermione's "generousness" during this period of time.

As long as there is a cat to play with, many people don't really care who Fisher's girlfriend is, that is to say, there are still a few unwilling people who continue to hostile to Hermione, but that is no longer a threat to Miss Know-it-all. .

So it was shy of kissing with Fei Xu in front of everyone's eyes, but from the results, it was actually pretty good... At least some of the rivals gave up.

Under the heavy academic environment, the time has come to October... This year, Fish still celebrated the birthday of Professor McGonagall, but this time, no one from the whole Gryffindor House was dispatched like last time.

Because Professor McGonagall told Fish in advance that he should stop making the birthday party so exaggerated, Fish finally pulled Hermione and celebrated Professor McGonagall's birthday with a group of elves in the kitchen...

Professor McGonagall, who had already had one experience, was still very happy, but that's all, he was very moved by the group of elves in the kitchen who were called to dinner by Fish.

Even Dobby, who is a little afraid of Fisch, and Winky, who is often drunk, have teary expressions on their faces, and a group of elves screeched and praised Fisch and the three... Xu made a sound to stop it, God knows how long they can praise.

"Minerva, can I take your time? I have something to ask you."

When the three of them finished the celebration and left the kitchen and walked back, Hermione hesitated for a while, and then stopped Professor McGonagall.

"Of course, dear."

Professor McGonagall, who was in a good mood, responded with a smile. At the same time, she was also a little curious, "What do you want to ask? Is it a matter of study?"

Although it was such a question, Professor McGonagall thought it was not very likely, because Hermione really wanted to ask questions about her studies, and she would never hesitate to ask herself so late.

"No, it's about the house-elves."

Hermione shook her head. Although she had been in touch with house-elves early on because of Fish, and was used to them working for wizards, she still stayed in Muggle society during her vacation.

With the increase of age and the influence of living environment, Hermione's views on slavery and human rights issues are still in line with the mainstream of Muggle society at this stage.

It's just because Fish and Professor McGonagall also have Comey in their home, and she also understands that the wizarding society and the Muggle society have different concepts on many things, so she hasn't delved into this issue.

But tonight she unexpectedly learned about the experiences of Winky and Dobby, and she could no longer suppress the sense of justice in her heart.

"The usual treatment of house-elves seems... bad?"

Because there are house-elves in Professor McGonagall's house, Hermione's words are more restrained.

"I see."

Professor McGonagall smiled knowingly.

Although there are not many wizards like Hermione, there are always a few of them every once in a while, and although most of them are Muggle-born, there are occasionally one or two outliers in the wizarding community, and for so many years Down, they actually made some progress.

And Professor McGonagall also knew that people like Hermione could easily do bad things with good intentions if they were not guided well.

So she explained to Hermione patiently: "House-elves can have such a situation, in fact, there are many aspects. First of all, their nature is to like to work, just like you like to read, Fish is mischievous..."

"Fix doesn't like being naughty!"

?(?`'?)?

Cat Mao, who was suddenly named, protested angrily.

However, Professor McGonagall ignored him and continued to say to himself: "Well, my statement is not accurate, their attitude towards work is not just a category of hobbies, but closer to an instinct, and it is precisely because It is this strange nature that ancient wizards cultivated into assistants and servants."

"But... that's not a reason to squeeze them."

Hermione retorted naively: "Muggles abolished slavery many years ago."

"Of course, actually, wizards like you have fought for the rights of house-elves long ago, and even the Ministry of Magic has issued guidelines for the rights of house-elves."

Professor McGonagall squeezed her palm, signaling Hermione to take it easy.

"It's just that this guideline cannot be enforced because of the nature of the house-elves and their long-standing habits, and the old pure-blood families don't take it seriously. And the persecution of Muggle wizards brought this work to a standstill for a while."

She looked at Hermione softly and said to her seriously: "If you want to improve the living environment of house-elves, the best way is to become an official of the Ministry of Magic in the future, and fundamentally change the concept of the wizarding community. It is enough to be kind to them.”

Hermione was silent for a while, then nodded slowly: "I see, thank you, Minerva."

"What the **** are you talking about? Why can't Miao Feixu understand?"

(??ˇ?ˇ??)

Mao Mao finally waited until the two ended their conversation, and immediately asked in dissatisfaction.

"We're talking about Dobby and Winky's previous owners who didn't treat them well, so they need to be treated well."

Professor McGonagall also knew that Maomao couldn't understand the too complicated explanation, so she simplified what she and Hermione talked about and told Fish.

"Although what you said is similar to what Feishu heard...but I don't know why, I always feel that Minerva, you are fooling Feixu..."

(??ˇ?ˇ??)

The keen cat stared into Professor McGonagall's eyes and said seriously.

But soon Fei Xu shook his head Forget it, Fei Xu was not interested anyway. "

What kind of house elf rights, sounds like a lot of trouble, if you are fooled, you will be fooled. Anyway, it is not the first time that Professor McGonagall has been fooled.

After voluntarily skipping this topic, Fishh turned to Professor McGonagall and asked, "Minerva, want to patrol the territory with Fish?"

Professor McGonagall smiled and glanced at the embarrassed Hermione, shook her head and said, "I can't, you and Hermione go for a walk, remember to go back early, there will be class tomorrow."

"If it wasn't for signing up for that competition, Feixu wouldn't have to work so hard at all! You guys actually gave Feixu so much homework!"

?(?`'?)?

Talking about this, the cat got angry, he made a face at Professor McGonagall, and then dragged Hermione away.
