Chapter 381 House-Elf Rights
Her eyes widened, as if she was saying something sinful, "I can't believe that in a place like Hogwarts, there are more than 100 house-elves, but they are not allowed to appear on any occasion. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info"
"A lot of students don't even know that there are house-elves at Hogwarts until they graduate. It's a shame that they eat and use the labor of house-elves. All the cleaning is done by house-elves. ”
Hermione said with a look of disappointment, "Hogwarts House was supposed to be a place to educate students, a place to set an example for the wizarding world. But they let me down so much. ”
Her tone lifted again, "It's different now, because we're going to change that." The wizards must change their behavior, and they can no longer continue to cruelly abuse our magical creature friends. We need to improve the legal status of house-elves. ”
Hermione waved the badge in her hand and said in a missionary tone, "I've been researching this history in the library lately, and house-elves have been slaves for centuries, and I can't believe that no one has done anything about it. ”
Her face was filled with passionate fervor, "Since no one is going to act, then let's act, it's up to us to change the status of the house-elves, and we're going to help them fight for their rights." ”
Harry and Ron looked at each other with endless embarrassment in their eyes, and they didn't know how to comfort Hermione and dispel her unrealistic thoughts.
Hermione didn't notice their gaze, she looked very excited, "Our short-term goal is to get fair pay and a working environment for the house-elves. ”
"Our long-term goals include changing the law that prohibits house-elves from using wands, and we want to get house-elves into the Department of Magical Creatures Management and Control of the Ministry of Magic."
"Alright, stop for now, Hermione. George finally couldn't sit still, and he interrupted Hermione's speech.
He was also scorched by Hermione Ray. If we talk about the previous struggle for reasonable wages and working conditions, there is nothing wrong with these things. Changing the law on the use of wands and allowing elves to enter the Ministry of Magic are too much of a child's play.
"We need to take a long-term view of the house-elf thing. George said as he pondered his words.
"Your task now is to improve your strength so that you have more power to protect yourself in the face of Voldemort's threat. As for the house-elf matter, when the threat of Voldemort is solved, we can slowly consider these. ”
"Well, yes," Harry immediately responded.
"We don't have time for these things, and Professor Moody will teach us how to fight the Unforgivable Curse, which is not an easy task. Voldemort will be resurrected soon, and even if he has already been resurrected, we don't have time to waste fighting for the rights of house-elves. ”
"I don't think it's wise to go with a badge of vomit to fight for a right for elves that hasn't existed for hundreds of years. Ron said vaguely.
He thought Hermione's proposal was simply insane. Those house-elves are simply happy to do this, and if they didn't want to, they would have run away a long time ago.
Wizards didn't force them to be slaves, in fact, house-elves who didn't do their job well were immediately expelled, and if they were lazy for a while, they would be freed immediately.
Hermione looked at her three friends with incredible eyes, and she said in a trembling tone, "You can actually endure this, you actually feel that the status of the elves does not need to be improved, can you really ignore all this and watch all this happen?"
She looked at George with a somewhat sad look and said, "I thought that even if Harry and Ron didn't support this move, George, you would support it." ”
She had no idea at all, even George, that there was no support for her idea. She didn't understand that it was good to fight for the rights of house-elves, why everyone was so opposed, why everyone was so disgusted, this was obviously the right thing.
Watching Hermione drill the tip of the bull's horns, George also looked a little annoyed, he considered the words he used, and said in a gentle tone, "I don't know, did I tell you that there are no house-elves in my home, and we do all the housework ourselves." ”
George didn't have house-elves in his house, he didn't like house-elves, he didn't hate them, he didn't discriminate against them, he just didn't like them.
Seeing the awkward atmosphere, Harry tried to ease the atmosphere, and hurriedly said, "George said this, I remember him saying it. The use of magic in daily life is a very important control training for magic. Wizards should use magic in their daily lives and should not leave all their work to house-elves. ”
"Yes, George also gave my mother a book, A Guide to Living with Home Magic, which was very popular with witches. "My mother was so proud that when she was on the street, she could see her readers and hear them talk about the magic book. ”
Ron felt this very deeply, "She also studied the magic of life more attentively so that she could continue to update it in future book reprints, and now her housework is getting better and better." "His mother's housework is getting better and better, and recently he has been eating more.
Hearing this, Hermione's mood eased a little, and she apologized to George in a low voice, "I'm sorry, I was so excited. ”
She was a little too concerned about house-elves. In addition to the inhumane treatment of the house-elves, which makes people outrageous, it is also because she will empathize with these things.
As a wizard born into an ordinary family, she is very proud of her family. But people in the wizarding world will use her family to attack and discriminate against her, and even insult her family, which is the most unbearable thing for her.
Even so, she is also a discriminated group, and her situation is already much better than that of house-elves. It is precisely because of this that she wants to help the group that is even more miserable than her, and wants to fight for the rights of the house-elves, but sadly, all her companions have not thought of supporting her.
"It's all right," George said lightly.
"I also don't like the situation of house-elves, their bad interactions with wizards can make them seem very savage. Long-term non-use of magic and lack of training can also degrade the wizard's magical abilities. But this is not an issue that we are facing directly and need to pay attention to. ”
