Chapter 267 "House-Elf Rights Promotion Association"

Sherlock has a very free day today.

Of course, he didn't have much interest in the students' registration. He didn't even eat breakfast. He woke up early in the morning and ate some leftover cookies from yesterday.

After that, he sat at the desk and played with the four wooden boxes that imprisoned Fiddlesticks' soul.

After taking this thing from Silk's hand, Sherlock can really see its subtlety.

Obviously, these four boxes were initially refined as an alchemy tool, and later they were artificially divided into four by special means, but the separation was only superficial.

The runes on the wooden box are still a whole, but only one of the boxes is affected. If the other three boxes cannot be opened together, the creatures inside will also be unable to break free.

And after being divided into four parts, even if it was a whole before, it will now become four different individuals of Fiddlesticks. There is no way to uniformly schedule it to get out of trouble at the same time, which is tantamount to restricting its way out.

But as long as it keeps trying inside, there will always be a successful one with good luck, so Sherlock specifically mentioned this matter to Silk last night.

The method of how to completely control Fiddlesticks, which was developed by the German Department of Mysteries mentioned by Silk, is highly compatible with Sherlock.

Because the two souls are compatible, and Voldemort's remnant soul is used as a fusion agent, Sherlock, who has never come after, dare not say, but throughout the history of magic, no wizard can surpass him in terms of soul. .

So that method is impossible for other wizards, but Sherlock definitely has a chance.

It's just that this is the information from the German Department of Mysteries after all, and Silk has stayed there for more than ten years. She can't just leak these things casually, and Sherlock doesn't want to embarrass her.

If it is determined that there is no other way, he will take the initiative to talk to someone from the German Ministry of Magic with Silk.

After all, they couldn't find another wizard with such soul strength like him in the magic world, and the chance of success in the end was very high.

Just as he was stacking four wooden boxes in a row like playing with building blocks, feeling the shock from Fiddlesticks' resistance, there was a knock on the door suddenly.

Sherlock raised his eyebrows, put the wooden boxes into his pocket, and then said to the people outside the door.

"Please come in."

Hermione, who had a firm expression but showed apprehension in her eyes, bent over and walked into the office. Behind her was a witch with bright silver hair and piercing blue eyes.

Seeing Fleur, Sherlock couldn't help but twitched his lips.

He can naturally guess what this girl is looking for him for. In the letters she wrote to herself in the past, she said countless times that when she came to Hogwarts, she would let him be a tour guide and take him here. Take a good tour of the old castle.

But since the end of the summer vacation last semester, she hasn't written to herself again. Sherlock thought she had forgotten about it. After all, he didn't reply to her many letters at all.

A little girl at this age will only maintain her enthusiasm for such a period of time, and she will soon forget it after a long time of no contact.

In the end, she didn't expect that she had prepared a "surprise" for herself, and she actually came to Hogwarts through the re-hosted Triwizard Tournament this year.

Well, it's not that Sherlock doesn't want to keep his promise, it's just that the girl's vigor makes him a little worried, thinking that she will have some unreasonable thoughts.

Well, being too attractive is a sin.

Sherlock, who was sad in his heart, selectively ignored Fleur behind him for the time being, but set his eyes on Hermione.

"Is there anything you want from me, Miss Granger."

Hermione, who didn't feel a lot of embarrassment even standing in front of Professor McGonagall and Dumbledore, became nervous today for the first time under Sherlock's gaze.

She frantically took out a simple small badge from her pocket and showed it to Sherlock.

"Professor Forrest, I, I would like you to join the SPEW organization I created."

Sherlock looked at the small badge in her hand and asked with interest.

"SPEW? What's its full name? You have to introduce me to it?"

As if seeing her nervousness, Sherlock showed a gentle smile on his face, waved his hand lightly, and the two chairs that were originally placed in the corner slid out by themselves, and stopped beside Hermione and Fleur respectively.

"I'm sorry that I don't have any snacks to entertain you today. I just finished eating the leftover cookies for breakfast yesterday."

Fleur has not spoken since she entered the door except for a glance with Sherlock. She is waiting for Hermione to finish what she wants to say to Sherlock, and then see what the young professor who hasn't seen for more than a year will say. How to enlighten his students.

Should I just tell her that this matter is an absolutely impossible reality, or be gentler, and tell her what the student named Hermione is thinking about at the moment, and then reveal to her that wizards are wizards, and elves are Elf, no matter how oppressed the elf is, there is no problem for the group of wizards themselves.

As for the fact that Sherlock would agree with Hermione's ideas and agree with what she was doing now, Fleur hadn't thought about it at all.

Anyone who is a sane adult will know that it is impossible and meaningless to completely free the house-elves.

In Fleur's mind, Sherlock is certainly not a fool, but one of the smartest people in the entire magic world. She doesn't think Sherlock would say such a foolish thing.

"The full name of SPEW is "Society for the Promotion of House-Elf Rights", which is an organization for house-elves to properly belong to their rights."

When explaining her thoughts, Hermione's tone became smoother.

"Professor, you should know that in the wizarding world, house elves exist. They serve all kinds of wizarding families, places, and schools. Even Hogwarts Castle has a large number of elves working for free. Doing all kinds of jobs. They have no holidays, no pay, no private space of their own, and only obey the orders of wizards, no different from slaves in the Middle Ages."

"Although elves are not wizards, they are not even human beings, but they all have their own thoughts and consciousness. Most of them are kind and upright, and each of them has absolute loyalty to wizards. As In a civilized society, even slaves in the magic world should not exist, and this is my original intention for creating this organization!"
