Christmas is over, but holiday homework still needs to be completed!

The next day, after Sigrid completed her study progress for the day, she considered going to the library to look for books about house elves.

Most people are not interested in studying this lower race that has served wizards for generations, so there are very few books about elves in the library.

It took Sigrid a lot of effort to find a book that was already gathering dust - "Fantastic Races: House Elves"

After opening it and flipping through it carefully, I found that this book is still very valuable for research. It contains information about the origin and evolution of elves, the reasons for surrendering to wizards, the servile education and their values ​​​​that are instilled at birth.

After reading it, she even felt chills running down her spine. If the wizards were conquered in ancient wars, would they also be instilled with the concept of servility from birth - serving the master for life as the greatest honor? Expulsion or release as shame.

Their family also has a house elf. Dori, who has been with her since birth, is dedicated and loyal, just like her family...

Sigrid is the same as all the wizards in the family who have elves. In their understanding, the elves are tools to serve them. No one cares about whether they have holidays or whether they are paid.

Sigrid suddenly admired Hermione Granger, who was determined to liberate the house elves, and began to worry that if Hermione really succeeded in awakening the house elves, it would trigger another war between wizards and elves. , so will their ordinary wizards be the opponents of house elves?

On second thought, I felt that my worries were too unfounded. How could the concepts that have been instilled for generations be liberated all of a sudden?

Even if the sky falls, there will still be tall people holding her up. She is worried that it is too early, and she will not apply for the position of Minister of Magic anyway.

In order to learn more about house elves, Sigrid had no choice but to go to Hermione. In the entire Hogwarts, there should be no wizard who knows more about house elves than Hermione.

"Sigrid, are you also interested in changing the unfair treatment of house elves?" Finally, she had a classmate who cared about the rights of elves as much as she did. Hermione's smile almost reached the corners of her eyes.

Sigrid thought about it for a while, "Do you know about the school's house elves?"

Hermione attached great importance to this future member who was about to join the "House Elves Promotion Association" and immediately told Sigrid everything she knew.

"I can't believe that such oppression and exploitation exists even in the great Hogwarts!"

"Hundreds of elves cook and clean the school silently at Hogwarts. They are as low-key as invisible people. They don't have a day off throughout the year, not a single galleon, and they can even live in a dark and damp basement plywood. …”

"It's disappointing. There is only one elf in Hogwarts who fought for his own rights and received a meager salary of 1 Galleons a week and one day's holiday a month -"

"What - what?" Sigrid immediately grasped the breakthrough, "Who is it?"

"Dobby, he is Harry's friend, an elf who longs for freedom."

An outlier?

Sigrid kept this somewhat familiar name in mind.

"Sigrid, would you consider joining us? Let's fight for the rights of elves together, and you can be the second in command." Hermione looked forward to it.

Sigrid forced a smile out of embarrassment and said, "Consider...consider."

Change injustice? She doesn't have such lofty ambitions yet...

Sigrid thought about it all night and settled on Dobby. At noon the next day, she went to the hidden kitchen again, alone.

No way, considering that the Weasley brothers basically offended all the elves here two days ago.

"Beautiful lady, why are you here? Do you need me to help you with anything?" The first elf who noticed her came over with a smile on his face.

The already ugly elves became even uglier when they smiled...

"I'm looking for Dobby." Sigrid said.

Hearing Dobby's name, the elf in front of him hesitated and glanced at the long table in the second row of the kitchen and said cautiously, "There, Dobby is an elf who was abandoned by his master. Next to him is the elf who was also fired. of sparkling.”

For an elf, the most serious punishment is to be abandoned by its master, which is even more terrifying than execution.

Sigrid paid no attention to her reminder and walked towards the isolated Dobby and Winky.

The elf stood in front of her, preventing her from going to Dobby. "Miss, you shouldn't go looking for him, it's too dangerous."

Sigrid ordered impatiently, "Go back to your work now and don't disturb me."

The elf didn't dare to stop her anymore, and could only look at the two foreigners, Dobby and Winky, with disgust and disgust.

"Hello, miss, how can I serve you?" Although Winky tried her best to smile, there were still tears of grievance on her face. She was not having a good life at Hogwarts.

"Miss, don't blame Winky for being rude, I'll serve you!" Dobby looked at Sigrid pleadingly.

"I'm here to help you, Dobby!" Sigrid smiled at him.

"The beautiful lady actually asked Dobby for help. Dobby will do his best." Dobby looked at her flattered.

"I heard that you are also Harry's friend? Harry is a brave and sincere friend, right!" In order to make Dobby trust her, Sigrid chose to start with Harry Potter.

Her boyfriend, who has been rumored for two years, should be considered a friend.

Ok?

Next, Sigrid listened patiently as Dobby used all the beautiful words to praise Harry Potter for a full ten minutes, and she nodded in agreement from time to time.

It wasn't until Shining next to him couldn't help but pull his clothes from behind that he reluctantly shut up.

Only then did Sigrid speak.

"I know from Harry that you are an elf with ideas, so I want to ask you for help!"

"Do you know the Weasley twins? They are also Harry's friends. They especially need people like you to work for them now."

"I'm very sorry, Miss Stewart, Dobby has found a job at Hogwarts." Dobby bowed apologetically.

"You should find a more suitable job. Instead of staying in the kitchen and doing housework silently, go to Weasley's Joke Shop and be a decent butler. Only in this way can more wizards and your tribe see it - you can also work with We live the same life."

Seeing Dobby's hesitation, Sigrid continued to add fuel to the fire.

"The elves at Hogwarts don't welcome you, do they? Winky looks to be in a very bad state..."

Dobby looked at Winky worriedly. They were indeed hated and ostracized by all the elves at Hogwarts. Winky had wanted to die to apologize for being fired. During her time at Hogwarts, she looked even worse... …

Maybe it would be better if I could leave Hogwarts!

"Thank you for your kindness, but we have already signed a contract with Dumbledore!" Dobby was heartbroken, but he was grateful to Dumbledore for taking them in during the most difficult time.

"If the great Principal Dumbledore knew that you had a better place to go, he would definitely bless you!" Sigrid was persuasive.

She had a hunch that she had reached a corner of Hogwarts.

The next day, Dobby secretly came to see her in private.

He told Sigrid that Dumbledore was happy that they had found better jobs and that they could leave at any time.

Fred and George are busy with another thing. They have just signed up for the Apparition course together. They will be 17 years old in April and have met the conditions to learn Apparition.

The course is taught by staff from the Ministry of Magic and requires a 12-week course and a tuition fee of 12 galleons. If successful, they will be able to use Apparition after graduating from sixth grade.

An extra course means they are busier, so when they saw two elves, a boy and a girl, at the agreed place in the evening, the Weasley brothers were so surprised that they couldn't believe it!

It only took 2 days, how did she do it? ? ?

"These two are your future bosses, Fred Weasley and George Weasley!"

"This is Dobby the elf and his good friend Winky"

Sigrid introduced with a smile.

Things went smoothly after that. Dobby's requirements were really not high. He just wanted to get a salary through labor like an ordinary wizard, without having to surround his master every day, and to have his own life.

This kind of idea is simply wishful thinking for their race and some ancient feudal families, and deserves death. But here, they were not surprised at all by his request, and they all nodded in agreement.

In the end, Dobby received a salary of 2 Galleons a week and one day off per month. What moved him most was that he could wear a suit, run the store on behalf of the Weasley brothers, and do business on an equal footing with ordinary wizards.

But Shining still firmly refused to take a penny of salary, and would be grateful as long as it could give her a place to live.

The Weasley brothers were so happy that they, in a rare act of generosity, insisted on giving Dobby a one-gallon weekly salary increase.

Two loyal and smart employees for only 2 galleons a week. Is there any better deal than this?

After agreeing to take them to see the store tomorrow, the two elves snapped their fingers and disappeared.

After the elf left, the Weasley brothers looked at Sigrid who had been watching with admiration.

"Sigrid, your wife is so amazing!" Fred wished he could have a French kiss that lasted for only 5 minutes. However, considering that there was George next to him who was staring at the two of them indifferently, he could only kiss them reservedly. Take a bite.

George was used to being abused by this couple. "How on earth did you do that? That's so cool!"

"It's very simple, read more books!" Sigrid pointed her head with her index finger.

At this time, Sigrid did not forget to remind the Weasley brothers of the importance of studying, but the two of them obviously failed Sigrid's good intentions and started bickering again.

"Do you understand? Read more books!" Fred put his arm around his girlfriend's shoulders, raised his eyebrows and looked at George with a smirk to emphasize.

"I think she means you! Right, Sigrid?" George shot back.

Seeing both of them looking at her, Sigrid pushed away the clingy Fred and said honestly, "You two are each other!"

After Sigrid said goodbye to them, George half-jokingly said to Fred, "Come on, brother, marry her home as soon as possible! We need a strong boss lady for our 97 branches in the future."

"Don't worry, I'm more anxious than you!" Fred became more motivated. He set a goal for himself: to have a deposit of 1 gold galleons before graduation, to become a promising boss, and to have an industrial chain with stable supply.

Only in this way could he have the confidence to enter Stewart's house and propose.

Come on, Fred! Try to get engaged to Sigrid before graduation.

How could he go about his career with peace of mind while leaving his beautiful girlfriend alone in the "wolf's den".
