Hogwarts Gymnastics Professor

Chapter 76 The Slavish Thoughts of the House-Elves
The master has already given you a job, and you still want to ask him for money.

This sentence, which Lockhart heard was illogical and hilarious to death, was the true thoughts and behavioral logic of most elves that he had learned after talking with the house elves in the Hogwarts kitchen many times .

In addition, Lockhart also found that almost all house-elves have a very, very serious pleaser personality.

The house-elf habitually offered to apologize.Whenever a problem arises, no matter what the reason, no matter who is at fault or right, house-elves are in the habit of first apologizing and then punishing themselves.

House-elves are used to pandering to others, have no principles of their own, and don't know how to say no.No matter what order you give them, even if they know it is wrong, they will still try their best to complete it.If they don't get it done, they punish themselves.

House elves are afraid of causing trouble to others, and always bear it in silence.They are unwilling to tell others when they are wronged or even injured, they just want not to cause trouble to others.

House-elves have low self-esteem and are afraid of negative judgment from others.Once they feel dissatisfaction with others, even if they are right, they will punish themselves crazily.

This peculiar logic of behavior is superimposed with the extreme flattering personality, which together creates the slavish thinking of the house-elf.

But it wasn't enough to know that. What Lockhart wanted to know was the origin of the house-elf mindset.

Hogwarts does not have many books related to history, which seems to be intentional. Fortunately, Sirius said that the Black family has the most abundant historical materials about house elves in the UK. To be precise, the Black family is the first in history. A family of wizards who use house-elves as slaves.

For this reason, Lockhart, under the leadership of Sirius, once again came to the ancestral house of the Black family. He did not pay much attention to the endless harassment of the house-elf Kreacher. Lockhart separated dozens of shadow clones and spent a week reading carefully. Finished all the history books in the Black family's collection.

Finally, Lockhart figured out the origin of the house-elf's servility.

The elves were a cooperative when they first joined House Black, perhaps centuries ago.The powerful Black family provides shelter for the elves, and the elves are responsible for the housekeeping issues of the Black family.

As a result, the elves have a strange perception that the Black family and the elves are a community of interests, and the stronger the Black family is, the safer the elves will be.

Later, some elves wanted to break away from the Black family, and they even went to war with the Black family for this.

At the price of promising to donate a few elf cubs to each pure-blood family in the future, the Black family united with all other pure-blood families to ban the elves in the magical society.

The elves who left the Black family were unable to get work to support themselves, and lived a very miserable fate, while staying in the Black family, life was barely passable.

It's a pity that these elves in the pure blood family don't know that their life is still decent, it's all because there are rebels outside, and the wizards need to prevent them from going the same way.

Slowly, more and more elves chose to compromise with the wizard, and there were no elves who left the wizard to fight for independent resistance.

As a result, the elf became a house elf, and since then, he has no independent consciousness, and was given to other pure-blood wizard families by the Black family as an item.

The elves have become complete slaves, and unconditional obedience has gradually become their instinct after being screened and cultivated from generation to generation.

The Black family's method of domesticating elves into slaves is simply textbook-level, and the experience of elves gradually becoming slaves also reminded Lockhart of a sentence.

After we leave, they will build schools and hospitals for you, and raise your wages. This is not because of their conscience, nor because they have become good people, but because we have been here.

The history of elves as slaves is simply the reverse version of this statement.

The obedient house-elf helped the wizard eliminate the free elves who dared to resist, thinking that this would make his life better, but he didn't know that he personally lifted the last restriction of the wizards' enslaving the elves.

After Lockhart came to this conclusion, he immediately found Dobby and Hermione.

At present, the three of them are the only three members of the League. Harry, Ron and Neville's ideological awareness is far from enough to become a member of the League, and they still need to learn a lot.

Lockhart convened a meeting of Dobby and Hermione, his colleagues.

At the meeting, the three members of the Tongmenghui listened to the results of Lockhart's recent research report, and after discussion, they came to the following conclusions.

The biggest problem with house-elves right now is servile thinking.Therefore, if we want to liberate the house-elves, we must first get rid of the old ideas of the elves who are conservative, content with the status quo, and timid, and establish a new concept for them to reform and innovate, strive for the first place, and dare to dare to think.

The servile thinking of house-elves comes from their fear of living independently without wizards, so Hermione and Lockhart colleagues must first try to create suitable jobs for house-elves to ensure that they can survive independently without wizards.

Dobby and his colleagues must develop the spirit of coming from the house elves and going to the house elves.Go to the Hogwarts kitchen more often to listen to the opinions of the first-line house elves. You can't talk about it on paper and make mistakes that you don't want to pay attention to.

After the meeting, both Hermione and Dobby started to act directly, while Lockhart exchanged places with the shadow clone, found Sirius in Azkaban who was studying in class, and then came to Black's old house together again .

This old house hides one of Voldemort's Horcruxes - Slytherin's locket.

This Horcrux was another important factor in Dumbledore's death.

It was hidden by Voldemort in a cave on an isolated island very far from Hogwarts. In the cave, Voldemort put the locket into the bottom of a glass container, and then poured some spells into the container to make people drink it. There will be a potion that feels like life is worse than death. Only after drinking the potion can you get the locket.

Under Dumbledore's order, Harry urged Dumbledore to drink up the potions that made him die, causing Dumbledore to fall into extreme weakness.

In the end Dumbledore persuaded Snape to kill himself "to save an old man from pain and disgrace", and that "the boy's soul was not yet completely ruined, and he did not wish to tear it apart for his sake".

This behavior also successfully misled Voldemort, allowing Voldemort to use Harry's old wand to cast a spell on Harry in the final battle, which finally led to Voldemort's defeat.

But in fact, there is a very ironic place here.The "locket" that Dumbledore gave his life for was dropped by Sirius' younger brother Regulus at the beginning and placed in Black's old house.

And it was Lockhart's purpose.
