Chapter 268: Opinions

was accidentally caught by Hermione to "have" Shining, Darren is still quite frightened, this is really a heinous thing in her eyes......

"I didn't expect that," apparently Hermione thought the same thing, and before Darren could stand up from the entrance to the Gryffindor common room, Hermione shouted angrily, "We members of the S.P.E.W. S. House Elf Advocate actually own a house elf, or bought it from the Ministry of Magic like a slave trader." Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½ā€

"Oh, actually, it was handled by the Ministry of Magic's House-Elf Resettlement Office," Darren quickly got up from the ground and shook the pot in an effort, "I just paid the fee as specified." ā€

"With her completely unaware, without any choice, and you're still going to hide it from me, if you hadn't gone to the kitchen to find Dobby today, you wouldn't have found Twilight!" Hermione said sternly.

Darren sat down in a chair across from her and saw that Sparkle had changed her clothes, no longer wrapped in the rags she had had worn last time, wearing a neat little dress and short top, and a matching blue hat with two holes cut out to show her big ears, "Oh, the dress," he looked at Dobby.

"I had it for Twilight, she didn't have any new clothes in her clothes, she didn't know what to choose," Dobby replied, his eyes wandering between Darren and Hermione, as if he didn't know how to deal with the situation.

"Aha, you're worried about Sparkle being liberated and losing your 'house-elf'," Hermione scoffed, "Don't worry, she's already decided you're the master, and it's useless for me to give her clothes." ā€

Really...... Darren sighed, "Yes, I'm really worried about losing Twinkle because she'll do a lot of work for me, but comparatively, I'm afraid Sparkle is more afraid of losing me," he reached into his pocket, fumbled for a moment, pulled out a handkerchief, and looked at Twilight.

"No!" Twinkle let out a frightened scream and threw herself at Darren's feet, "No, master! No clothes, no clothes! She wept as Darren recalled the morning of their first meeting when he left Crouch's house, and even more terrified than she had then.

"Darren! You freak the hell out of her! Hermione jumped up from her chair and pulled Shimmer over, hugging her comfortingly, glaring at him fiercely.

Looking at Hermione, Darren was also helpless, obviously you want to liberate the house-elves, of course, he didn't plan to come to the real ......

"Alright, Twilight, don't worry, everything will be fine with me, before you want to be free......" Hearing the word "free", Twilight broke out of Hermione's arms and fell face down to the ground, thumping her little fists and screaming in pain.

"Oh, well, you're going to have a job, he's going to pay you, you see Dobby getting paid......" Seeing Hermione's efforts to change the subject, Dobby nodded, and he said to Darren, "Yes, Professor Dumbledore said that since Dobby wants to be paid, he can pay Dobby!" So, Dobby is a free elf, sir, Dobby gets a Galleon a week and a day off every month! His eyes lit up.

But Sparkle sat up violently, her two huge brown eyes glaring fiercely, and her wet face became angry.

"Twilight is a house-elf who used to have no owner, but Twinkle hasn't gotten to the point of getting paid yet!" She shrieked and shrill to say, "And the holidays!" Twinkle hasn't fallen to that point yet! Twinkle is ashamed that no one can serve! That was the scariest thing Twinkle had ever experienced! ā€

"Shame? Twinkle, listen to me! You should be ashamed of the service of the wizards, they did not pay you anything, and distributed you as if you were an object. ā€

"Oh yes, Twilight was taken from Mr. Crouch's house and can't serve them anymore," Twilight began to cry again, and Hermione, not knowing what to do, set her eyes on Darren.

Darren shrugged, "I didn't do anything, besides, according to your thoughts, I want to give her freedom, as well as salary and holidays, she should be very happy, how can she be so unhappy and cry...... Hey? "It's a little strange that Darren suddenly noticed that Twinkle wasn't crying.

"Twinkle?" Darren shouted, but there was no response, he looked carefully at the house-elf, only to find that she had passed out......

"Dobby, hurry up and get her to the medical wing, and ask Madam Pomfrey to take a look," Darren said to him, placing Twilight on Dobby's back.

"Okay," with a "bang", Dobby disappeared with a flash, and Darren let out a sigh of relief and looked at Hermione, her face a little gloomy, obviously guilty that she hadn't found out.

"Don't worry, Twinkle should be too excited to be like this, there have been too many things happening recently, her pressure has been very high, and her physical condition is not very good, I let her be with other house-elves, I also want them to take care of it conveniently."

"Why is this happening," Hermione was not as angry as she was at the beginning, but she was a little confused.

Darren poured Hermione a glass of water and put it in her hand, "Why do you think using house-elves is slavery?" ā€

"House-elves have no salary, no holidays, no rest, and the master can punish them at will, what is the difference between this and a slave?"

"Hippogriffs don't have a salary or vacation, and Hedwig, so do you Crookshan, why don't you say enslave them, and besides, we've all ridden Hippogriffs."

"They, they're not the same as house-elves," Hermione hesitated for a moment, trying to think about it, it seemed that she hadn't thought about such a question, "house-elves have intelligence, they have feelings, they feel pain, well, yes, it's no different from wizards, it's no different from people, they should have the same rights, yes, it should be!" Slowly, she cleared her mind and her eyes became firm again.

"Well, what kind of rights are you 'equal rights', specifically?"

"What?" Hermione paused for a moment, and immediately answered, "Just like the S.P.E.W. document says, we must ensure that house-elves receive reasonable wages and good working conditions, and change unreasonable laws to fully protect their rights and interests!" Wait, you must not have read those notes I gave you, right? ā€

"Well, that's well said," Darren didn't answer Hermione's question, "So, what do you think of these thoughts, the house-elves you wish to protect?" ā€
