Reborn Harry Potter

Chapter 335 House elf rights!

When a low and deep bell came from the castle, it floated to the damp ground.

After class, the students dispersed one after another.

The Hufflepuffs walked up the stone steps to another of their lessons.

The Gryffindor students went in the other direction, walking down the gently sloping lawn to Hagrid's cabin on the edge of the Forbidden Forest.

Hagrid was standing just outside the cabin door, one hand on the collar of his huge hound, Fang.

On the ground beside his feet, there were a few open wooden boxes. Fangya whimpered and struggled to grab the collar, as if he wanted to examine the contents of the boxes carefully.As they approached, a strange chirping and clicking sound reached their ears.

"Good morning, students!" said Hagrid gruffly.

"It seems that the Slytherin students are late again, but it's okay, everyone is used to it." Hagrid will also be eccentric.

"What weird thing are we going to learn in this class?" a mocking voice said.

The Slytherin students are here, and it wasn't Draco Malfoy who spoke just now. His personality has become much more stable since last year, and he won't be firing map guns everywhere.

"Niflei, do you know?" Hagrid said calmly.

"I've never heard of it." The boy who spoke said arrogantly.

"Indeed, your little head has everything but knowledge," said Hagrid.

Come on, Hagrid ignored the purple-red face of the boy in Slytherin, looked at the other students who were listening humbly without saying a word, and started class.

Malfoy looked at the boy as if he wanted to see a fool.

"How did this kind of person survive? Seeing everyone is upset, everyone wants to say something, and they always talk with their nostrils up." Malfoy pulled Pansy's sleeve, and kept away from the man who seemed to him to be An idiot boy. .

Pansy froze for a moment, and said, "Draco, wasn't that how you used to be?"

Malfoy turned pale with shock: "Impossible, you must be slandering me, how can I be so stupid?"

Pan Xi thought for a moment and said, "It's really different. Your head is higher than his."

Malfoy: "..."

Hagrid opened several wooden boxes, revealing several animals inside.

This animal is covered with black fluff and has a long nose. It looks very gentle and non-aggressive.

Hagrid introduced: "The mud mine is a kind of animal that can dig the ground in Britain. It has a special preference for all shiny things. Therefore, the monsters like to raise the mud mine to dig out treasures deep underground. Although the mud mine Volley is not aggressive, and even likes to be close to wizards, but it will cause damage to your treasure, so don't keep it in your home. Mud Volley lives in its own lair, usually [-] inches underground, a nest Six to eight cubs were born..."

"About Nifulei, there are two special points to note..."

More than an hour later, the Care of Fantastic Beasts class ended, and Harry returned to the castle.

……

In the afternoon, Harry and Hermione had no classes, so they stayed in their cabin.

Hermione was sprawled across the table, writing her first press release.

It's about house-elves.

"The last time we saw the house-elves, Winky, made me feel that the status of house-elves was very wrong. I checked a lot of books about house-elves and found that they have no freedom at all. Their life and death are in the hands of the wizard of the family they stay in. , and working for a wizarding family all their lives, they won't get paid a penny." Hermione was shocked, it seemed so absurd.

"They are a very humble race. They have to serve their master for generations from birth, undertake all the housework, and are bound by their master. They cannot disobey their master's orders casually. If they disobey, they must be severely punished. If they want to use spells, they must obtain the master's permission. ..." Hermione has free and equal Muggle ideas, so after learning about house elves, she really couldn't accept it.

It's almost the 21st century, but slavery still exists?

Harry said, "So what do you want?"

"I want to write an article for the newspaper, stand on the side of the rights of the house-elves, and call on the wizarding world to change its attitude towards house-elves."

Harry said: "Specific measures, give them new clothes? Pay them? Can't punish them at will, etc.?"

Hermione nodded, "That's how it should be."

"Is there anything wrong?"

Harry said, "No, that's right. Although house elves were created by wizards, they have independent thinking, so they can't be treated as tools..."

"But, you're going to say but, right?" said Hermione.

Harry smiled and pinched Hermione's cheek: "However, house-elves have had no status for more than 1000 years, and no wizard would think of changing it."

"Old families with house-elves, they've had house-elves for generations, and they've never paid anything. And when you suddenly say they're going to pay house-elves, they're never going to want to."

"Then you said earlier that what I did was right." Hermione said resentfully.

"Your goal is the final result. With the enlightenment of house-elves and wizards, the future will inevitably evolve into this. It's just a slow process, and it can't be achieved overnight. There is a long way to go."

"When most of the house elves realized that they were being treated unfairly, and a few enlightened people were the leaders, their entire race began to speak out and defend their rights. At that time, it was the beginning of real change."

"Now that you realize that house-elves have been treated unfairly, take a stand in the Daily Prophet. Those pure-blood families with house-elves will definitely write articles to refute you, but that's actually a second priority. The point is that you Those who are busy running around will not appreciate your favor at all. They may even think that your suggestion is an insult to them." Harry said.

"Why do they do this? But Dobby the elf doesn't think so. He works at Hogwarts and earns money. I think he is willing to accept it."

Harry said: "Dobby is a weirdo, one in a million... It's hard to find another house-elf who pursues freedom."

"Then you want me to give up and stop doing this laborious thing?" Hermione said sullenly.

"Of course not, I just told you clearly about the setbacks you will encounter first, so as not to be depressed later."

Hermione smiled and said: "I won't be defeated so easily, besides, you also said that wizards will become more and more civilized, and it is the general trend for house elves to have status, so let me be the first leader. "

Harry said: "Don't worry, if any pure-blood wizard dares to let his dog bite you, I will... well, 360 five ways to die, let him choose whatever he wants, I am very open-minded."

Hermione said coquettishly: "We are civilized wizards, don't always fight and kill."

After the first class in the afternoon.

Zhang Qiu came back from get out of class.

The first thing she said when she entered the door was: "When I just came back, I heard something from the sixth grade students. They said that Professor Snape has become their Defense Against the Dark Arts professor!"

Hermione: "Ah this..."

Harry said: "This position that he couldn't ask for, he can be counted, I am a little looking forward to how he will teach this class, you must know that every year the professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts, in his mouth, is all Trash No. [-], Trash No. [-], Trash No. [-]..."
