HP: By the lake of Snake Garden, flowers bloom on the other side

Licoris thought she wouldn't do this, but she didn't expect that she would still insist on herself.

"S-P-E-W?" Lycoris took out a dark green badge from the box Hermione was holding and read out the letters one by one.

"Yes, the House Elf Rights Promotion Association." Hermione nodded and motioned for Lycoris to follow her.

Lycoris followed her into the Hunger Club's round table room.

"I have something to discuss with you!" Hermione looked at Licoris with great interest. She felt that Licoris would understand and support her.

Lycoris knew what she wanted to do when she saw the badge, free the house elves.

So naive.

Lycoris sat next to Hermione with an expressionless expression, watching her pour out the badge.

The existence of goblins is already very distressing.

From the rebellious behavior causing various consequences, to the aggravation of the little wizard's learning tasks in the history of magic books.

Goblins are too independent and will rebel whenever something happens.

She wants to free the house elves?

Do you think you're better than Helga Hufflepuff?

"The House Elf Rights Promotion Association was just founded by me. Together with Harry, we are now two members." Hermione was a little embarrassed when she said that her association only had two members, "But It doesn't matter, as long as you agree to let the Hunger Club members join, there will be many of us. I think..."

"It does matter." Lycoris said directly, interrupting Hermione's tirade.

"What?" Hermione didn't react for a moment.

"I said it does matter! I won't participate, and I also really mind if you recruit people for your promotion association in my charity club." Lycoris raised her eyes and looked directly at her, refusing outright.

"Licoris! Don't be in a hurry to reject me! I haven't finished speaking yet!" Hermione saw that she rejected him, which was a bit unexpected.

She must not know how significant this matter is!

As long as I make it clear, she will definitely agree.

Hermione was afraid that Lycoris would get up and leave, so she begged and said, "Can you just listen to me?"

Licolis knew Hermione's stubborn personality, and since there was nothing important to do now, she would simply give up on her here.

To prevent her from bringing in private goods during class at the Good Hungry Club.

"Go ahead." Lycoris looked at Hermione and gave her enough time.

"Elves have been slaves for centuries, but no one has ever thought of freeing them.

"The short-term goal of our promotion association: to ensure that every house elf receives wages and a good working environment. This includes decent clothes and a working environment where no one is beaten or scolded.

"The long-term goal is to amend the strict prohibition on the use of wands by elves and recognize the status of elves - including allowing elves to enter the Department of Magical Creatures." Hermione took out a piece of parchment full of words from the inside of her robe pocket. , "The first thing now is to attract members - two silver coins can give one badge, and the membership fee can be used to publicize the unfair treatment of house elves and the meaning of the existence of our rights promotion association."

"Are you done?" Lycoris said slowly after Hermione finally stopped, "It's my turn now."

"You say it, you say it." Hermione nodded, wondering if Lycoris would change her mind and support her.

"Your 'House Elf Rights Promotion Association' involves three parties," Licolis made an "OK" gesture and began to explain, "the elves themselves, the oppressor, and the beneficiary."

"Let's talk about the beneficiaries first. House elves are 'domestic'. Have you ever thought about those families who are willing to pay extra to get the services they should have?" Lycoris looked at Hermione and clicked casually with her wand. "If nothing else, there is no place with more house elves than Hogwarts. Do you think Principal Dumbledore will take the initiative to pay gold galleons as an elf's salary? If an elf earns one gold a year Galleons, just a few hundred more Galleons every year, who pays for this? Hogwarts is not a for-profit organization, and mainly relies on funding from the Ministry of Magic. The money is not enough, so why don't you voluntarily pay Galleons every semester?"

Lycoris said at the end, approaching Hermione, "Your family can afford this additional expense, do you think Ron Weasley's family can afford it?"

Hermione was stopped by Licoris's question and pursed her lips, "You can give me less, and Silver is fine too."

"Okay, even if it's possible." Licoris didn't bother her about what to do if the student was an orphan, and continued, "Let's talk about the oppressor. In fact, I think the oppressor is the beneficiary, but the beneficiary is not It’s not necessarily oppressive.”

Hermione looked at Licolis and listened to her carefully.

"We students are the beneficiaries. The elves clean Hogwarts and provide us with food, clean clothes and other services.

"If you do what you said and cancel the elf's work arrangements, who should do these things? The little wizard himself? I won't tell you if there are some who can't do housework. Should those who can do it just do these every day? I have twelve doors. Courses, where is the time?

"Then, the principal must hire someone. Do you think wizards will do this? Or do you want a squib like Filch to take on these chores in life?" Lycoris curled her lips and smiled, but there was no smile. Reaching the bottom of his eyes, "The situation of the elves in Hogwarts is already very good. Who will do the various affairs undertaken by the elves of the big families?"

Hermione was stopped by Licoris' question, and she understood what Licoris meant.

Things are always there, and someone has to do them. If there are no elves to do it, a wizard needs to do it.

A capable wizard doesn't bother to do it, but a squib can't do it if he wants to.

"Are elves really irreplaceable?" Hermione asked herself, "Elves should also be free."

"Then have you asked the elf what he thinks?" Lycoris stood up and leaned on the round table, looking down at Hermione, "You set short-term goals and long-term goals regardless of other people's wishes and what you think is good for the elf. , have you asked the elf himself?"

"Have you asked... the elf himself?" Hermione raised her head and spoke with difficulty, "Who doesn't like freedom?"

Yes, who doesn’t like freedom.

"Canaries" and "domestic cats" who have not tasted the taste of freedom do not have the ability to "survive in the wild."

"Go and ask the elf for the answer, and then convince me." Lycoris looked at Hermione and said seriously, "Before that, I don't want you to do it without the consent of the president of my Good Hungry Club. My members become your members."

"Okay...ok." Hermione looked ugly and nodded reluctantly.
