Master Druid at Hogwarts

Chapter 452 Anecdotes About House-Elves

Ever since Fish had kissed herself in class that day, Hermione had found herself in the limelight again...the last time she was so noticed was when she drank Polyjuice Potion and turned half-human, half-cat.

Now she is walking on the road, not only the classmates often point at her, even the professor will show a meaningful smile from time to time when he sees her, Dumbledore even directly called her Hermione jokingly Miss McGonagall.

However, the target Hermione expected didn't happen very much, that is, there were occasional yin and yang from the Slytherin girls. Although the girls from the other three houses were envious, they didn't behave much differently from before.

The identity of Hermione's girlfriend has long been known by everyone. On the one hand, the most important thing is... Hermione's "generosity" during this period.

As long as there are cats to masturbate, many people don't really care about who Fisher's girlfriend is, that is, there are still a few who are unwilling to give up and continue to be hostile to Hermione, but that is no longer a threat to Miss Know-it-All up.

So although it was embarrassing to kiss Fish in full view at the beginning, judging from the results, it was actually very good... At least some of the rivals gave up their hearts.

Under the heavy academic environment, the time soon came to October.Fish still celebrated Professor McGonagall's birthday this year, but this time, no one from Gryffindor College was dispatched like last time.

Because Professor McGonagall told Fish in advance not to make the birthday party so exaggerated, so Fish finally pulled Hermione and celebrated Professor McGonagall's birthday with a group of elves in the kitchen...

Professor McGonagall, who had already experienced it once, was still very happy, but that was all. He was very moved by the group of elves in the kitchen who were called by Fish to eat together.

Even Dobby, who is a little afraid of Fish, and Winky, who is often drunk, have tearful expressions, and a group of elves are praising the three of Fish in high-pitched voices... If it wasn't for Fei, who had a headache from the quarrel, Xu made a sound to stop it, God knows how long they can praise.

"Minerva, can I take a moment of your time? I have something I want to ask you."

When the three of them finished the celebration and left the kitchen to go back, Hermione hesitated for a while, then stopped Professor McGonagall.

"Of course, dear."

Professor McGonagall, who was in a good mood, responded with a smile. At the same time, she was also a little curious, "What do you want to ask? Is it a matter of study?"

Although it was such a question, Professor McGonagall thought that this possibility was not high, because Hermione would never be so hesitant to ask questions about her studies, nor would she delay asking herself so late.

"No, it's about the house-elves."

Hermione shook her head. Although she had been exposed to house-elves early because of Fish and was used to the fact that they worked for wizards, she still stayed in Muggle society during the holidays.

With the increase of age and the influence of living environment, Hermione's views on slavery and human rights issues are still in line with the mainstream of Muggle society at this stage.

It's just because Fish and Professor McGonagall also have Comey in their family, and she also understands that the wizarding society and the Muggle society have different ideas on many things, so she has never delved into this issue.

But tonight she accidentally learned about Winky and Dobby's experience, and she couldn't suppress the sense of justice in her heart anymore.

"The usual treatment of the house elves seems...too bad?"

Because there are house elves in Professor McGonagall's family, Hermione's words are relatively restrained.

"I see."

Professor McGonagall smiled knowingly.

Although there are not many wizards like Hermione, there will always be a few of them every once in a while, and although most of them are Muggle-born, there will occasionally be one or two outliers in the wizarding community, and after so many years After all, they actually made some progress.

And Professor McGonagall also knows that people like Hermione can easily do bad things with good intentions if they are not properly guided.

So she patiently explained to Hermione: "There are actually many reasons why house elves have such a situation. First of all, their nature is to like to work, just like you like to read books, and Fish is mischievous..."

"Fisch doesn't like to be mischievous!"

Mao Mao, who was suddenly named, protested angrily.

However, Professor McGonagall ignored him and continued to say to himself: "Well, my statement is not accurate. Their attitude towards work is not just a hobby, but closer to an instinct. It is precisely because This strange nature, the ancient wizards will cultivate them as assistants and servants."

"But... that's not a reason to squeeze them."

Hermione retorted naively, "Muggles abolished slavery many years ago."

"Of course, in fact, there were wizards like you who fought for the rights of house-elves a long time ago, and even the Ministry of Magic issued guidelines for the rights of house-elves."

Professor McGonagall pressed her palm, signaling Hermione to be calm.

"It's just that because of the character of the house-elves and their long-standing habits, this guideline cannot be enforced, and those ancient pure-blood families don't take it seriously. And the persecution of Muggle wizards, which caused this work to come to a standstill for a while."

She looked at Hermione softly, and said to her seriously: "If you want to improve the living environment of the house elves, the best way is to become an official of the Ministry of Magic in the future, and fundamentally change the concept of the wizarding community. If so, treating them kindly is enough."

Hermione was silent for a while, then nodded slowly and said, "I see, thank you, Minerva."

"What the hell are you talking about? Why can't Fish understand?"

(ˇˇ)
Mao Mao finally waited until the two of them finished talking, and immediately asked dissatisfied.

"What we're talking about is that Dobby and Winky's previous owners were not nice to them, so they need to be treated kindly."

Professor McGonagall also knew that Mao Mao couldn't understand too complicated explanations, so she simplified what she and Hermione talked about and told Fish.

"Although what you said is similar to what Fish heard...but I don't know why, I always feel that Minerva, you are fooling Fish..."

(ˇˇ)
The sharp cat stared into Professor McGonagall's eyes and said seriously.

But soon Fish shook his head, "Forget it, Fish is not interested anyway, meow."

What kind of house elf rights, it sounds like trouble, if you are fooled, you will be fooled, anyway, it is not the first time that Professor McGonagall has been fooled.

After voluntarily skipping this topic, Fish turned to invite Professor McGonagall: "Minerva, do you want to patrol the territory with Fish?"

Professor McGonagall smiled and glanced at the embarrassed Hermione, then shook his head and said, "I won't, you and Hermione go shopping, remember to go back early, there is still class tomorrow."

"If it wasn't for signing up for that competition, Fish wouldn't have to work so hard! You guys gave Fish so much homework!"

(`ω)
Talking about this incident, Maomao became angry. He made a face at Professor McGonagall, and then dragged Hermione away.

　Although it is not intended for Hermione to form "vomiting" like the original book, if she does not mention it at all, it does not fit Hermione's own character, so here I ask Professor McGonagall to give her a little guidance, so that she should not be like the original book. Thankless.

　　In addition, the Ministry of Magic's guidelines for the rights of house elves are not made up by me, they are official settings.

　　It comes from the Wizard's Ordinary Magic and Basic Aptitude Test (WOMBAT). This test is actually an official tool to see how much fans know about the original work. The topics in it are basically the content of the original work and the official settings.

　　——Here is the topic——

　　In your opinion, which of the following wizarding laws is most in need of change?
　　a. Monitor all magical families for underage magic (currently not possible)
　　b. The ban on leprechauns holding wands (should be lifted)
　　c. Reclassification of centaurs and mermaids (their ideas should be considered)
　　d. Guidelines on the rights and interests of house elves (need to be enforced)
　　e. Define "tricking Muggles" (need to be appropriately loose)
