A Hogwarts dissertation guide

"I'm so sorry for letting you see this, sir and miss!" an elf nearby said sharply, shaking his head, looking very ashamed, "I really hope you don't judge all of us based on Twinkle, sir and miss!"

"She's not happy!" Hermione said anxiously, "Why don't you try to make her happy, but instead cover her up?"

"I'm sorry, my lady," said the house-elf, bowing deeply again, "but a house-elf has no right not to be happy when there is work to do and a master to serve."

"Oh, my God!" Hermione shouted, "What you think is completely wrong. Even if you are house elves, you still need to pay attention to your feelings. At the very least, you should be able to have fun at work and maintain your mood. Pleasures, such as the eight-hour working day, vacations, travel..."

"Please say no more, Miss Granger," Dobby mumbled, looking very frightened.The cheerful smiles disappeared from the faces of the house elves in the kitchen.They suddenly looked at Hermione with strange eyes, as if they thought she was crazy and dangerous.

"I've brought you something to eat!" an elf at Harry's elbow said sharply, then stuffed a large piece of ham, a dozen cakes and several fruits into Harry's arms, "Goodbye! "

The house elves gathered around Harry, Ron and Hermione, and began to drive them out of the kitchen with many small hands pushing on their lower backs.

"Thank you for the socks, Harry Potter!" Dobby cried pitifully on the hearth rug, standing next to Winky, who was covered by the tablecloth.

"Can't you just keep your mouth shut, Hermione?" Ron said angrily after the kitchen door slammed shut behind them. "Now they don't want us here anymore! We can't get out of Winky Telling more about Crouch!"

"Come on, you don't care about this!" Hermione said helplessly, "You just want to come down here to get some food! Why do you turn a blind eye to a group in the wizarding world that has been oppressed? Could it be that you have long been Are you used to this kind of thing?"

"Hermione, you have to understand that for house elves, work is the happiest thing, and all human rights and welfare for wizards are the most painful things for them." Ron rarely had a clear mind. Said, "Even if their whereabouts are discovered, they will regard it as a shame. If you want them to be happy, the most important thing you should do is enjoy their work and make them feel useful."

"Slave education." Hermione said angrily, "I can't believe there is still such a situation in the wizarding world."

"This isn't the first time you know about this, is it?" Harry asked in surprise. After all, Hermione knew about house elves as early as two years ago.

"Well, I knew it a long time ago - I mean I've never talked to them about this." Hermione said a little evasively, "I always thought they were protected by labor laws... I want to ask the teacher, this What’s going on.”

"You won't get a second answer." Ron shrugged and said nonchalantly, picking up a finger biscuit and stuffing it into his mouth, "This is a matter of course in the entire wizarding world, except for a certain scary guy. "

"Floody - mysterious man?" Harry asked in astonishment.Hermione's eyes flickered but she didn't speak.

"Oh, yes, when he was at the highest power, he was surrounded by giants, elves, dementors, and of course goblins." Ron muttered, "But he didn't really care about those people. Power, he just wants them to serve.”

"I know," Harry said.

Hermione's eyes were evasive and she didn't answer. In her opinion, Tom Riddle was a very charming wizard, not only powerful, but also very knowledgeable.His views on many things are much more mature than those of Harry and Ron, rather than superficial.

After breakfast the next day, they were about to leave for Hagrid's cabin for the Care of Magical Creatures class, but Hagrid told them that they had finished teaching about unicorns. At this moment, he was standing outside the cabin waiting for the students, with his feet at his feet. There were some open cardboard boxes that they had never seen before.

.Harry's heart sank as soon as he saw the cardboard box - another brood of Blast-Ended Skrewts had hatched, right? ——But when I got closer and looked into the box, I found that there were many furry black guys inside, with long noses and flat front paws, like shovels, which was very strange.They looked up and blinked at the class, seemingly confused by the attention of so many people.

"These are snuffers," said Hagrid and his classmates, who gathered together, "you can usually see them in mines. They like shiny things...here, look."

A Niffler suddenly jumped up and tried to bite the watch off Pansy Parkinson's wrist.Pansy screamed and backed away.

"Very useful little treasure detectors," Hagrid said happily, "We can have fun with them today. Do you see that there?" He pointed to the large area of ​​newly opened land, where Harry found the Owls. The window of the shack saw the place where he was digging, "I buried a few gold coins. Whoever picks and digs out the most gold coins, I will give a prize. You take off all the valuable things on your body, and then pick one Sniff, get ready, let 'em go."

Harry took off his watch and stuffed it into his pocket. It had stopped and he was only wearing it out of habit.Then he picked one and sniffed it.It put its long nose into Harry's ear and sniffed enthusiastically.This little thing is quite affectionate with people.

This was truly the most fun Care of Magical Creatures lesson they had ever had.Xiu Xiu burrowed in and out of the field, just like in water. Each one hurried to the classmate who let them go and spat the gold coins into their hands.Ron's harvest was particularly large, and his lap was soon filled with gold coins.

"Can I buy them as pets, Hagrid?" Ron asked excitedly, when his Niffler dived into the soil again, splattering his robes.

"Your mother won't be happy, Ron." Hagrid said with a smile, "Smell these animals, they will destroy the house. Well, I think they are almost done." He walked on the ground Walking back and forth, the Sniffers were still digging in and out of the soil, "I only buried 100 gold coins."

Hermione led Niffle and Pansy to look for gold coins in the grass. It was obvious that they were very interested in cute pets like Niffler, even if they were not as beautiful as unicorns.
