Vol 2 Chapter 1326: Domestic elf treasure

How could there be a house elf without a master?
Hermione asked.
Are they all expelled from their original family? Or are they themselves independent, like Dobby?

She was very excited, and Avon knew why Hermione was so excited after hearing the house elf without her master.
Be aware that although there has been no progress, she has not given up on s.p.e.w.
Hermione will not give up whenever there is an opportunity.
She promoted the legitimate rights and interests of the house elves, wrote articles in the newspapers, and persuaded the wizards to be better at the house elves. At school, they insisted on finding the elves in the kitchen every week.
Hermione did a lot of things, but the effect was very poor.
Except for Dobby, almost no house elf recognizes her philosophy.
Domestic elves don't need money and holidays, they only need work. The more work, the more happy they are. If they can't finish it, then punish them with ease, such as using a whip, ironing their hands with an iron, or directly slashing them with a knife, and then ordering them to go to work.
In the eyes of traditional domestic elves, the only way to treat their main talent is to be a good master...
They regard lifelong service as the greatest glory, especially after the Black family has created a perverted tradition. Many family elves dream of being like ancestors. After they are old, let the masters take their heads. Cut off and hang on the wall side by side with the ancestors as a decoration.
Even the family elves who are far away in France have followed the custom of learning to get this treasure.
Therefore, for the house elves, Hermione propaganda is deviant.
Over time, she became the most unpopular person in the kitchen.
When other students go to the kitchen, the house elves will take the initiative to encircle him and stuff his food into his arms.
Hermione passed, and the house elves were all hiding in the first place....pew hasn’t made any progress, but if there are a lot of house elves without masters, maybe you can change this situation, without the restraint of the master, help them. It is much easier to fight for rights and interests. At that time, you can also have many more examples to let other family elves learn.
"Don't be excited, Hermione, I may not have made it clear that these house elves still have masters in name. They are not house elves who were expelled like Dobby, but their owners are actually gone." Fred explained, "Imagine that the ancient pure blood wizard family lost their offspring for various reasons in the process of inheritance. Without family members, the family will perish, but the house elves are still there. The house elves will not loyal to the new wizard, they are like this..."
"Lost the owner's house elf?"
"Yeah, if you ask them in the past, they will be willing to tell you about their masters, all the pure-blooded wizards who have disappeared for a long time, and the ancient surnames hundreds of years ago." Fred pointed The house elf who is working in the room said, "The house elves you see now are the descendants of the house elves who lost their masters. They belong to the sorcerer family who have died."
Under the constraints of ancient covenants and magic, the house elf is a slave to the ancient and wealthy wizarding family.
The same is true of their descendants, although many of these wizarding families are no longer there, but their effectiveness still exists.
The house elves will not betray and switch to other wizards, even if their masters are gone.
This kind of situation is very common in the magic world, especially in the past years, the war between the wizards was frequent, the duel wind was prevalent, and when there was no word, someone would die, and the ancient family would be extinct. As the last member of these families, the family The elves may have been breeding for centuries.
After listening to Fred's explanation, Ai Wen thought that there was such a possibility.
He once read books about the celebrity of the wizarding family in the British region. In the past few hundred years, the number of families that have disappeared has been countless, and there are hundreds of thousands of them, even if not all families will be left. The next home raises the elf, but as long as there is one tenth, it is also a rather large number.
"I don't know when to start, these lost elves' house elves gather in the underground world of London, where they are on the edge of the magic world, they live there in obscurity." Fred said, "I heard that they The history of living there can even be traced back to the millennium."
"I first heard of the existence of such a group of house elves."
"I didn't know until recently. Their existence is only known to the house elves, but the house elves regard this as a taboo and will not easily say it." Fred said, "If not recently The werewolves and the black wizards are so fierce in the underground world that neither I nor George will know about it."
"What do the wolves want to do? Why do they occupy the territory of the house elf?" asked Ai Wen.
"Probably because of the treasures of the house elves, many of these house elves are the last members of the ancient wizarding family. When they moved to the underground world, they carried the last things of these families." Fred did not agree. Said, "I have seen some of their so-called treasures. There is not much value. The concept of house elves is different from ours. The actual value of the items they collect and use as treasures is not very high. The pure treasures of the pure-blooded wizards. Usually kept in the Gring House..."
This is true, but it is undeniable that doing so will be more or less rewarding.
However, this kind of thing sounds like only the wizards like Mundungus Fletcher will do it, and the wolves will not do this.
Greedy Werewolves? A little weird?
They have lived in the underground world for many years, and have been in peace with the house elves there. The relationship between them may be quite friendly, but they will not be able to attack them and occupy the territory of the elf.
The domestic elf just looks weak and the actual combat power is still very strong.
Ai Wen didn't understand why the wolves did this. He suddenly thought that this was related to Voldemort?
Suppose the wolf people are now obeying Voldemort's orders. Is there any secret inside?
"These house elves, did you pay George with them?" Hermione asked.
Compared with the illusory conspiracy, she is more concerned about this.
"There is no money, they don't want to accept it, as long as we provide something to eat." Fred said, "Please, Hermione, don't mention the vomiting set, it is not suitable for the house elf..."
