"I think it's time to change the plan, at least until the end of this war, and the whole world remains the same, and the action about the liberation of the house-elves is meaningless. On the way upstairs back to the common room, Hermione said suddenly.

"You found out too?" "I didn't know until I talked to them today, after all, I didn't have any experience with them before." Hermione raised an eyebrow. "It will be a long time for such creatures, who are so absorbed in their enslavement, and even very satisfied with their present lives, to change their minds, at least not in our plans. ”

"Yes, aside from the problems of the house-elves themselves, the overall environment is not friendly. House-elves are basically concentrated in the hands of pure-blood families. The Ministry of Magic, which is mainly pure-blooded, will not pass a decree similar to the emancipation of slaves, and even if it does, there will be a lot of problems in enforcing it, and we will not be able to free the domestic elves when they themselves are not willing to be free. ”

Speaking of which, Hermione looked at Ryan for a moment, paused, and then continued, "Other than that, these house-elves basically have a monopoly on the service industry or simple manufacturing in the wizarding world. Contrary to what I thought, it didn't take away the job of a hemp wizard. I just took it for granted. Hermione admitted her previous shortcomings.

"It's not all. "Once you free them, a lot of house-elves will lose their jobs, so how will they survive?" Lane said, "and it's even worse if the free-spirited elves enter the market and take the wizard's job and cause serious antagonism." ”

"That's true, I just found out through my investigation that the vast majority of wizarding families don't abuse their house elves. After all, house-elves are their slaves and equivalent to their property. Not a few idiots will destroy their property. Therefore, the liberation of house-elves is not so imminent. That's why I gave up on this part of the project, because I realized that I was thinking wrong, and that going along that line of thought would be bad for everyone, including the house-elves. Finally, Hermione concluded.

"So, let's focus on improving our strength now. In the wizarding world, this is the only thing that decides everything. Ryan's words ended the discussion about house-elves.

Although the problem of house-elves is a little unpleasant, it is not without good news these days. For example, from the recent Daily Prophet, it can be seen that the big-mouthed Rita Skeeter has now focused his attention on the Ministry of Magic, and has finally let Hogwarts go. You don't need to watch those spicy-eyed stories that are made up.

Hagrid finished talking about the Golden Snitch in last week's Conservation Magical Creatures class, so this week he switched to a new magical animal. When he walked to the playground, everyone was worried that he was going to show those dangerous creatures in class, especially after seeing Hagrid bring out a few cardboard boxes, because the previous fried tail snails were brought out of this kind of cardboard box.

Fortunately, when Ryan got closer, he saw a group of fluffy black guys in the cardboard box, with long noses and flat front paws, like shovels, and when everyone looked at them, they also looked at their classmates with their own little eyes.

"Sniff!" How could Ryan not recognize this animal, this is the starring role of the "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them" movie in his previous life, needless to say, this is an absolute big star.

"These are sniffs," Hagrid and the others gathered together, "and they are usually seen in the mines." They love things that are shiny...... No, look. A sniffer jumped up to bite Hagrid's pocket watch chain, but Hagrid grabbed it and put it back in the box.

Legend has it that Newt Scamander, the author of Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, once had a nest of sniffers and helped him a lot during his adventures. Hagrid added some additional knowledge.

After the introduction of this magical creature. For the rest of the lesson, Hagrid asked each of them to take a sniff and look for the 100 gold leprechauns he had planted earlier in the turned over ground in front of them.

It was clear that the sniffers had been trained, and they would scurry to the classmate who let them go when they found something, and spit out the gold coins into their hands. It's not like Scamander's sniffers, and when he sees something shiny, he wants to put it in that pocket on his stomach.

In the end, Ron's sniff won the championship, and the gold coins it brought back were piled all over Ron's thighs. As a result, he was rewarded with a large piece of Duke Honey's chocolate that Hagrid gave him.

Later, in the Defence Against the Dark Arts class, Ryan was called out alone to practice with Moody, but fortunately, except for a little embarrassment, Ryan supported enough for five minutes. Naturally, after class, Moody encouraged him to become an Auror after graduation. He didn't get angry after being politely refused, but sincerely invited Ryan to sit in his office when he didn't have classes in the future, and he was willing to share his experience as an Auror with Ryan over the years.

Moody is indeed a man who has truly fought for justice all his life, and this is very respectable. But he still forgot about being an Auror, after all, Ryan didn't feel that he was the kind of person who was willing to dedicate his life to a just cause.

Since Voldemort's return, Headmaster Dumbledore has often disappeared from the school, and his old buddy Moody has been haunted with him. In the last month, Moody's has been transferred two or three times. The only good news is that judging by the expressions on the faces of the two men, they have been making good progress lately.

A week before Halloween, Ryan was reading a book in the library when he somehow received a note from Dumbledore, telling him to go to the Headmaster's office once on Saturday, with a password attached to it: Zizi Honey Candy.

"What is the Headmaster looking for you?" Hermione frowned, as an insider of Voldemort's resurrection, he thought that Dumbledore must have something to do with Ryan this time, and she was a little worried about Ryan's safety.

"Don't worry. Ryan took Hermione's hand and patted it for comfort. "Even if there is something, go with Headmaster Dumbledore, in this case, even if it is dangerous, there is Professor Dumbledore in front of him. ”

On Saturday morning, after finishing the practice and eating lunch, Ryan came to the principal's office at the allotted time. When he stepped up the stairs, he realized that there was Professor Moody in addition to Headmaster Dumbledore. The two of them were sitting across the desk drinking tea, and from their appearance they looked relaxed.

"Headmaster Dumbledore, what are you looking for me?" asked Ryan as he walked into the office.

"We've found something and need your help right now. Dumbledore said to Ryan.

"But I'm just a student, how can I help you?" Ryan was confused when he heard this request, because he didn't think that he could solve something that the two old men combined couldn't solve.

"Well, don't say that, on the one hand, some of the suggestions you made last time were good, so I'd like to hear from you. On the other hand, we need an alchemist, but there are too few people who know alchemy these days, and to ensure that the news of Voldemort's resurrection does not leak, this person needs to be reliable and inconspicuous, so we chose you. ”

"I also want to tie up all the potential people with myself to avoid causing disadvantages to his planning. Ryan sneered, after all, it was not normal for a hemp student who was helpless in the wizarding world to master alchemy, and it was inevitable that he would become the object of attention.

Fortunately, there are few cases of great achievements in some aspect after occasional adventures in the wizarding world, and Professor Dumbledore does not have much doubt in the face of the neutral discipline of alchemy, especially Ryan, as a hemp wizard, also ruled out the possibility of him getting involved with Voldemort. Therefore, although Dumbledore had the intention of wooing and using Ryan, at least it was for friendly purposes.

In short, Dumbledore's impression of Ryan was a scholar, but with the passion of a teenager, such as participating in the Triwizard Tournament this time. And he, as the division commander, needs to be guided to a certain extent to prevent Ryan from going down the wrong path. Naturally, Ryan would like to see the headmaster keep this understanding alive.

Thinking of this, Ryan said to Dumbledore, "It's a pleasure to help you, so please just ask." ”
