Chapter 181: Continue to teach Hermione how to do things
The Muggle Studies professor's office was silent, except for the rustle of Hermione writing in her notebook.
Zhang Xu drank tea while watching Hermione record what she had just said.
Scholars don't give up any opportunity to learn, and Hermione did.
As for what path Hermione will take in the future, Zhang Xu has some expectations.
With his own wisdom and the energy of the Weasley family, it is not surprising that Hermione Weasley may be able to "dare to change the sun and the moon into a new sky" in the future.
As the initiator, Zhang Xu felt that he had kicked the wheel of history again.
Since you kicked it, let's just kick it a few more times, such an opportunity is rare, don't kick it in vain.
It's not a big deal to watch the excitement, and it's not a big deal to drink the wedding wine and the groom eloped, which is the current Zhang Xu.
After Hermione finished taking notes, she looked up at Zhang Xu, and she noticed that Zhang Xu looked at her strangely.
After seeing that Hermione had finished recording, Professor Zhang continued to give her a lesson.
Before Zhang Xu could speak, Hermione asked him a question.
"Zhang, why don't you help the house-elves?" Hermione asked.
Zhang Xu thought for a while and said, "First, I won't stay in the UK for long. After graduating from Hogwarts, I'm going back to China, and I still have my career back home. And the task of liberating the house-elves takes a long time. ”
"Second, I am not as pure as you and can selflessly contribute to the house-elves. If I were to lead this matter, maybe I would be in the position of the third Dark Lord. ”
Hermione listened to Zhang Xu's words, and suddenly didn't know what to say.
Next, Zhang Xu continued to teach Hermione.
"I just told you about the importance of house-elves to break out of the cage and awaken new ideas. I'm going to tell you what to do after that. Zhang Xu said solemnly, "The next action is the most important, if it is successful, then the house-elves will be free and equal, if it fails, the house-elves will fall further into the abyss, and even become extinct." ”
Hearing Zhang Xu say it so seriously, Hermione also became serious.
"After the emancipation of the minds of the house-elves, there will be two ways to go when fighting for their own rights and interests." Zhang Xu said.
"One is violent revolution, the other is non-violent resistance."
"Both paths require house-elves to stand up and fight."
"Since you want to be free, if you want it, you can speak, if you don't say you want it, how will people know that you really want it? Although you look at everyone very sincerely, you still have to tell everyone what you want, it is impossible for you to say that you want everyone not to give it to you, you say that you don't want everyone to give it to you, everyone has to be reasonable! ”
"Only when the whole magical society knows that the house-elves want to be free will everyone start to solve this problem."
"But the struggle for freedom is also about ways and means."
"Why is Gringotts, such an important institution, in the hands of goblins? Because that's what the goblins paid for with their blood. The Goblin Rebellion, which was described in the History of Magic class, gave the goblins the right to speak to human wizards on an equal footing. You know, even now, wizards are very discriminatory against goblins. ”
"But I don't recommend this approach because you're not good at it at all."
"So I suggest you choose a non-violent way to fight for the rights of the house-elves."
It would be so embarrassing for Hermione to play with her wand and get out of her swing.
After Hermione digested what Zhang Xu had just said, Zhang Xu continued to teach Hermione a lesson.
"You should know Professor Martin Luther King Jr. in the United States, right?" Zhang Xu asked.
"You know, he's the leader of the black civil rights movement in the United States." Hermione replied.
"You should know about the black American movement that emerged in the fifties and continued to fight for the rights of African Americans through nonviolent protests in the fifties and seventies." Zhang Xu asked again.
Hermione nodded.
"I think you can take a closer look at the movement." Zhang Xu said, "This campaign has a good guiding effect on your actions. ”
Speaking of this, such a picture appeared in Zhang Xu's mind.
In Diagon Alley, Hermione stands on a high platform and shouts "Today, I have a dream" to the wizards and house-elves below, and the house-elves in the audience shout "House-elves will never be slaves".
It's a beautiful picture.
"I would like to remind you of one more important point." "Professor Martin Luther King Jr. has found that most of the discrimination is caused by economic inequality. Economic rights are the essence and the root cause, and citizenship rights are just decorations. Only by allowing the house-elves to have an equal voice in the economy can it be regarded as their true equal liberation. ”
Zhang Xu stopped here, and if he went deeper, Hermione wouldn't figure it out for a while.
It was only as she grew older and more experienced that Hermione became more aware of what she was facing and what to do next.
A fifteen-year-old girl can form a house-elf rights promotion association because of the justice in her heart, even if her actions are very immature, Zhang Xu still admires it very much.
Zhang Xu taught Hermione these things and helped her secondary, the main reason was to let her do the preliminary theoretical work with peace of mind in the past few years, and not to come to her own trouble.
"So, these are ...... for Hagrid and for giants," Hermione asked Zhang Xu.
"It's useless." Zhang Xu interrupted Hermione with a shake of his head.
"Purebred giants are very violent and aggressive. They're not the same as Hagrid. "Although giants can cultivate the same sense of good and evil as humans from an early age, they lack the intelligence to learn how to control their inner desire for violence and destruction." ”
"Just like the Dementors, the giants bring almost all of their negative effects to humans, so there's no way to whitewash them."
"You know, I've always been very unkind to see Hagrid. It may make you uncomfortable as Hagrid's friend, but I still have to say that because in his mind, the giant's recklessness, stubbornness, and self-care for others are still half of it. ”
"Don't be in a hurry to refute," Zhang Xu stopped Hermione from speaking, "Do you remember what Professor Lupin did in the first Defence Against the Dark Arts class when he was in third year, and he asked you to deal with the Boggart, who didn't actually hurt you. As for Hagrid, the first lesson was about the Hippogriff with a dangerous level of 'XXXX'. This year, he opted for the dangerous and illegal fried tail snails. And the reason he chose these magical beasts was simply because he liked them. Is this what a professor should do? ”
Rita Skeeter's essay wasn't all fabricated out of thin air, and Hagrid had problems with it herself, which made it resonate with some students. If you put these things on Professor McGonagall, Professor Flitwick, and Professor Sprout, who would believe it? ”
"At this time, as Hagrid's friends, you should take this opportunity to help Hagrid correct his shortcomings, which is what friends should do."
After listening to Zhang Xu's words, Hermione felt very reasonable for a while, and she couldn't refute it.
