Chapter 268 Identification
Hermione explained her thoughts clearly, and Sherlock listened carefully.

After she finished all her words, the office fell silent.

Fleur leaned back in her chair, folded her hands on her chest, interested in how Sherlock spoke.

Hermione became even more cramped again, her breathing became slightly short, and she looked at Sherlock nervously.

The expression on Sherlock's face did not change from the beginning to the end. After Hermione's words fell and the eyes of the two girls focused on him, he showed an expression of admiration.

"From the perspective of all intelligent life, this is a very good idea! Miss Granger."

His affirmation stunned Fleur, and it stunned Hermione.

"You, you, are you praising me? Professor."

Hermione asked in a trembling voice.

Sherlock stared into her eyes, looked at her without hesitation, and said with a very serious expression.

"Your idea is very good. It is correct and upright. It is something worthy of recognition."

Hermione covered her face, her body trembling like she was about to cry.

Ever since she proposed to let the house-elves be independent, everything around her was full of opposition. Even her two closest friends, classmates in the dormitory, Hagrid and other professors told her this without hesitation. It is an impossible and meaningless thing.

Sherlock's affirmation is very important to her!

"Speaking out for oppression and seeking liberation for the enslaved, there is nothing more right in this world, Hermione."

Sherlock's voice was calm, like the sea breeze calming the waves, causing Hermione, who had red eyes, to put down her hands covering her face, and quietly listened to him continue.

"No matter in what era, what kind of country, as long as you stand on the standpoint of all intelligent creatures, anyone who is willing to do this can be called a hero, but you know why when you proposed this idea, Will there be so many obstacles around you?"

Hermione sniffled and nodded vigorously.

"I know, Harry thinks that the house elves like to serve wizards themselves, and this kind of slavery is what they like to do. But in fact, he doesn't understand that the so-called liking for this kind of thinking is instilled in them by wizards. And Adults who really understand these things feel that elves are not human beings and have no value in being liberated. Only by letting them serve wizards all the time will it benefit the entire wizarding community."

"But all the truths have told me since I was a child that it is wrong to enslave a thinking life. Any life with self-awareness should not be divided. The books have always told us what justice is, but adults But they keep talking about my interests. I don’t want to do this, justice needs to be done by someone, even if it’s only me.”

"But everyone says I'm wrong." Hermione's voice was tearful.

"Because your stand is much higher than others, no one will be as generous as you, most people will only consider things from the standpoint of their own group, and those who oppose you are standing on the standpoint of wizards , it looks like you're doing something wrong, Hermione."

Sherlock's voice didn't stop.

"There has never been peace in true liberation. How many obstacles you encounter now, the house elves will encounter the same when they truly seek freedom in the future, and it will even be hundreds or thousands of times bigger. And the consequences of this There will only be one, like a goblin rebellion, to start a war in the wizarding world."

Hermione froze, she spoke hastily.

"There must be a peaceful way, as long as wizards are willing to pay the house-elves for their work in the future, everything will be fine after that"

"These are just ideal pictures in your imagination, Hermione." Sherlock interrupted her calmly, "You are a smart and diligent student, you should have read a lot of history of Muggles and history of magic, Reading history makes people wise, no matter in the history of civilized society, if the oppressed want to truly gain their own rights, they must need a war."

"Only by war can we gain real benefits, and only with enough force can we protect the status and respect we have won. Your current thoughts are actually the trigger for the war between elves and wizards in the future. For all wizards who really see clearly Of course, they will completely reject your idea, because no one wants to see such a war, a war that is of no benefit to the group of wizards, whether it is victory or defeat."

Hermione sat on the chair with blank eyes, she said unconsciously.

"So, what I want to do now is still wrong?"

Sherlock folded his arms and placed them on the desk.

"It depends on where you want to put yourself, Hermione. I can't make a decision for you. You have to think about it yourself. I can only put your choice on different levels." Tell you clearly. Similarly, my affirmation of you is not false, you are doing a righteous thing, but justice is never absolute. "

"A hero in one country may be a heinous villain in another country. This is the situation you are facing now. Whether you choose to stand on the side of the wizard or the side of the house elf."

There was silence in the office, and Hermione stared at the ceiling absently, not knowing what she was thinking about.

Sherlock stood up and patted her on the shoulder.

"You can go back and think about it for yourself, Hermione. What is your real thinking, what kind of justice is it, and who is it for? If there is anything you can't figure out, you can ask me again, I can't I know everything, but I should be able to give you some advice and hints."

Hermione finally left Sherlock's office. She didn't fully get the result she wanted, but she didn't get completely rejected as before.

Sherlock told her a lot of things no one had told her before, enough to keep her thinking for days.

After Hermione left, Fleur spoke to Sherlock for the first time.

"Why don't you tell her directly that it's wrong, and you still say so much in a roundabout way?" Fu Rong asked puzzled.

Sherlock poured himself a cup of tea, he had talked a lot and his mouth was dry now.

"Hermione is very smart, she just walked into a dead end in thinking now, and she needs my acknowledgment, then I will give her the acknowledgment she wants, a total negation is no way for a person to accept his own mistakes of."
