Chapter 335: Domestic elf rights!

When a low and thick bell came from the castle and floated to the damp ground.
After class, the students dispersed.
Hufflepuff students walked up the stone steps to another class.
The students of Gryffindor went in the other direction. They walked slowly downhill to the Hagrid cabin on the edge of the forbidden forest.
Hagrid was standing outside the door of the cabin, holding one of his huge hounds' teeth in one hand.
On the ground at his feet were a few open wooden boxes, teeth whining, and he was struggling to win his neck ring, as if he wanted to investigate the contents of the box carefully. When they approached, a very strange chirping sound came into their ears.
"Good morning, students!" Hagrid said gruffly.
"It seems that Slytherin's classmates are late again, but it's okay, everyone is used to it, right." Hagrid would also be angry.
"What weird things are we going to learn in this class?" said a mocking voice.
The students of Slytherin are here. It wasn’t Draco Malfoy who spoke just now. His character has become more stable since last year, and he won’t shoot maps everywhere.
"Nui Fulei, you know?" Hagrid said calmly.
"I haven't heard of it," the talking boy said arrogantly.
"Indeed, you have everything in your little head except knowledge," Hagrid said.
Say it, Hagrid ignored the purple face of the Slytherin boy and looked at the other students who didn't say anything with an open mind and began to take classes.
Malfoy looked at the boy's eyes and wanted to look like a fool.
"How did this kind of person survive? It doesn't matter who sees it, everybody wants to say a word, and his nose is always nostril." Malfoy pulled Pansy's sleeve, and moved away from the one who seemed to him indifferently. A dumb boy. .
Pansy froze for a moment and said, "Draco, haven't you been like this before?"
Malfoy was shocked: "Impossible, you must be slandering me, how can I have this idiot?"
Pansy thought for a while and said, "It's different. Your head is higher than him."
Malfoy: "..."
Hagrid opened several wooden boxes, revealing several animals inside.
The animal is covered with black fluff and has a long nose, which looks very gentle and non-aggressive.
Hagrid said: "The Mud Thunder is a kind of burrowing animal in Britain, and it has a special preference for everything that shines. Therefore, the monsters like to raise the Mud Thunder to dig deep treasures. Although the mud Fu Lei is not aggressive and even likes to be close to the wizard, but it will cause damage to your treasure, so don’t keep it at home. Ni Fu Lei lives in his nest, generally twenty inches underground, in a nest Six to eight cubs..."
"There are two special notes about Mu Fu Lei..."
After more than an hour, the magical animal protection class ended and Harry returned to the castle.
...
In the afternoon, Harry and Hermione had no class and stayed in their cabin.
Hermione was lying on the table, writing the first press release of her life.
It's a topic about house elves.
"The house elves we saw last time were shining, which made me feel that the status of house elves was not right. I checked many books about house elves and found that they did not have any freedom, and life and death were in the hands of the wizards of the family they were staying with. And, for a lifetime of work for the wizarding family, they won’t get a penny.
Hermione was shocked, and it seemed so absurd.
"They are a very humble race. From birth, they must serve the master for generations, take care of all household chores, and be bound by the master. …" Hermione had free and equal Muggle thoughts, so after understanding the house elves, she couldn't accept it.
It's almost the 21st century, and even slavery still exists?
Harry said, "So what do you want?"
"I'm going to write an article in the newspaper and stand on the side of the house elf's rights and call on the magic world to change its attitude towards house elf.
Harry said: "Specific measures to give them new clothes? Pay? Can't you punish them at will?"
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, but they have independent thinking, then they can't be treated as tools..."
"But, you have to say but right?" Hermione said.
Harry smiled and squeezed Hermione's face: "However, the fact that the house elf has no status has continued for more than a thousand years, and no wizard will think about changing it."
"Those ancient families with house-elves, they have called house-elves from generation to generation without paying anything. But you suddenly said that they have to pay the house-elves wages, and they will never want to."
"Then you said that I was right." Hermione said bitterly.
"Your goal is the result of the final realization. With the wisdom of the house elves and wizards, the future will inevitably evolve into this, but this is a slow process. It is impossible to accomplish it overnight. It is a long way to go."
"When most house elves realized that they were being treated unfairly, and then there were a few awakeners as leaders, their entire race began to speak up and defend their rights. At that time, it was the beginning of real change."
"Now that you realize that the house elves are unfair, you have to show your position in the Daily Prophet. Those pure-blood families with house elves must publish articles to refute you. In fact, this is the second one~EbookFREE.me ~The point is that you are busy with this, but you won't get your feelings at all. They might even think that your suggestion is an insult to them." Harry said.
"How are they like this? But Elf Dobby doesn't think so. It works at Hogwarts and earns money. I think it's willing to accept it."
Harry said: "Dobby is a wonderful flower, there is nothing in it... It would be harder to find another house-elf who pursues freedom."
"Then you want me to give up, and stop doing this laborious thing?" Hermione sullenly said.
"Of course not. I'm just telling you the frustrations you will encounter first, so as not to be depressed later."
Hermione laughed: "I won't be knocked down in such a simple way, and you also said that the wizard will become more and more civilized, and it is the general trend for domestic elves to have a status. Then let me be the first leader. "
Harry said: "Relax, if a pure-blood wizard dares to let his dog bite you, I will... well, 365 deaths, let him choose whatever he wants. I'm open-minded."
Hermione snorted: "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 sentence she entered the door was: "When I first came back, I heard the sixth graders talking about something. They said that Professor Snape became their black magic defense class professor!"
Hermione: "Ah this..."
Harry said: "He can get the job he wanted, and I'm a little bit expecting how he will teach this course. Knowing that every year the professor of black magic defense class, in his mouth, are all Waste No. 1, Waste No. 2, Waste No. 3..."
