Chapter Seventy-Seven: Information on the Blackfish (Subscription Request, Support)

Of course, this teleportation magic also has some drawbacks, after all, it is a product of thousands of years ago.

It does not teleport to the kitchen other than objects that have been placed in the halls of the cafeteria, or objects that have been newly added by the president's professors and cast spells. Some of the items left behind by the students will be sent to the kitchen hall as garbage.

As a result, every once in a while, house-elves would need to deliver items left behind by these students to the Hogwarts Castle Keeper's office.

The previous administrators were better people, and they would return the lost items to the students one by one.

But the current administrator is Filch, who can't stand the fact that he is a squib, and when he sees students who can use spells, he feels jealous in his heart. That's the biggest reason he hates students.

Whenever he sees a lost item from a house-elf, Filch never takes the initiative to return the student's lost belongings. Only if the student takes the initiative to find him and he is in a happy mood today will he return the lost property to the other party.

After watching this short and strange creature disappear, Hermione's surprised face turned to Arthur, and her red lips opened slightly and asked suspiciously, "What kind of creature is it?" ”

"They are house-elves, and they are magically intelligent creatures like the goblins of Gringotts and the centaurs of the Forbidden Forest."

Recalling that Hermione would establish the House-Elf Rights Promotion Association and the Liberation Front many years later because the house-elves were slaves of wizards, Arthur simply explained.

As a born-again man, Arthur's 'if he is not of my kindred, his heart will be different' has been deeply ingrained in his mind. Regarding the attitude of house-elves, he is the same as other wizards.

Even if it was another alien race, if it threatened the status of the human race, if it was exterminated by a wizard or reduced to slavery like a house elf, he would not have any sympathy.

But Hermione was different, a man with an orthodox British education, with the idea that all life was equal in his heart.

Install the latest version. 】

She believes that house-elves should not be treated so unfairly and should not be slaves to wizards. In the fourth grade, he founded the Association for the Promotion of the Rights and Interests of House-Elves, a student organization, to fight for the rights of house-elves.

J.K. Rowling said that Hermione's establishment of the Liberation Front after graduation to liberate the house-elves was the first political trick she showed in her political career.

When love is mixed with other things, it is not love.

If Hermione knew now that house-elves were slaves of wizards, what about her founding the House-Elf Advocates Association three years ahead of schedule?

It sounds funny, but Arthur's sixth sense tells him that this will get him into big trouble in the future.

"Hmm... So why haven't we seen them before? Why didn't I see them in a school history? Hermione asked again.

As someone who had read Hogwarts: A History of the School three times, she remembered that there was not a single sentence in the book about the presence of house-elves at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. This made her very confused.

"Their main job is to help us prepare three meals a day. and helping us move our luggage to the dormitory when the new students enter the school, and so on. As for your second question, I think you should ask the professors about them. ”

"Well, I always thought that the professors conjured the food for us with magic." Hermione thought for a moment and sighed.

She never thought that Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry would have such magical creatures as a group of obscure house-elves. In the kitchen, where few people come, they work hard and pay silently.

"Magically conjured food? I don't think there's such magic yet... The kind of food that is conjured out of thin air is basically a transfiguration or a teleportation of food from other places to you.

"The latter is okay and can be eaten normally. The former will not work when you eat the inside of the stomach. It would be terrible if the caster disabled Transfiguration. ”

"You can never imagine what becomes of the food you eat. Mouse? Toad? Cockroach? Centipede? Spider? Or poop..."

Arthur couldn't help but laugh when he heard Hermione's innocent speech.

"Oops! Don't say it, it's disgusting. ”

When Hermione heard about rats and other disgusting animals, she felt a little sick in her stomach and felt the urge to vomit. Hurriedly stopped Arthur from continuing.

Watch Hermione's reaction. Arthur smiled and stopped talking.

Let Hermione stop asking about house-elves, his goal has been accomplished.

The dimly lit corridor fell silent again, and in a few moments, Rocky emerged from the dark kitchen passage, holding a package that was a huge thing for him.

"Miss Granger. Is this your package? Rocky handed the package to Hermione and asked very politely.

"Yes, thank you so much."

Hermione looked at the very conspicuous Blotted bookstore mark above the package. Her heart was tight, and she was afraid that Arthur would find out the secret of the package, so she hurriedly took the package from Rocky's hand, and then quickly put it into her arms and covered it with a student wizard robe.

If Arthur had found out that he had secretly bought his new book, Hermione would have felt like she would have died on the spot.

"Thank you, Rocky." Arthur saw that the package Lodge had taken out was Hermione's missing, and thanked Rocky.

"It's a pleasure to help Miss Granger find the package." Rocky bowed again.

When he looked up again, he turned his gaze to Hermione's body and asked.

"Do you need to check if you've lost anything?"

When Hermione heard this, she instantly panicked and shouted again and again, "No! No! The packaging is intact and there will be no stuff. ”

It contained Arthur's new book. It would be a shame if he saw it. Hermione sighed inwardly.

"Let's go, Arthur, I have class in the afternoon, it's time to go."

With that, Hermione wanted to leave here with Arthur.

"Wait, Mr. Pendragon. There's something I'd like to report to you. ”

Seeing that Arthur and the others were leaving, Rocky hurriedly said, glancing at Hermione again.

"Is that what happened... Got eyebrows? Arthur was slightly stunned and hurriedly asked.

"Yes, Mr. Pendragon."

"It's okay, you can say it."

Headmaster Dumbledore, Professor Sylvanus Kettleburn, and Potions Professor Snape also knew about the Sheep's Horn Blackfish.

Arthur didn't keep it a secret, so it didn't matter if Hermione knew.

"Mr. Pendragon. I inquired about a house-elf named Kreacher who knew where the croissants were. I talked to him about it and asked him to help me catch a croissant fish for me, or to tell me where it was, but he didn't want to... Say that he will never go there for the rest of his life, and he will not reveal any information about that place. ”

Rocky said cautiously as he rolled his fingers around his chest.

Arthur's mission was not completed. He blamed himself for being afraid that Arthur would be angry.
