Hogwarts: I am the White Lord

Hearing Hermione's invitation, Sebastian's mouth curled up slightly.

Good guy!

The idea has come to my head.

The girl had some political sense and knew how to bring some influential people into her club.

It’s a pity that our ideas are different, little girl.

Facing Hermione's eager gaze, Sebastian shook his head gently: "I'm sorry, Miss Granger, I don't want to join the SPEW Club."

In an instant, Hermione's expression dimmed, and her eyes changed from full of expectation to disappointment and confusion.

In Hermione's opinion, the freedom and equality of house-elves is a just cause, and every upright wizard should work for it.

She originally thought that Sebastian would understand her feelings and even become an important supporter, but his rejection hit her hard.

Ron and Harry didn't understand, and he didn't blame them.

I don't blame those Gryffindor classmates for not supporting me.

After all, they are just immature children who cannot understand the importance of this matter.

But it's a bit sad that even an open-minded wizard like Professor Swann doesn't support me.

Hermione asked in a low voice, forcing a bitter smile.

"Why, Professor Swann, do you also think that house-elves are meant to be slaves?"

"Hermione..." Ron and Harry looked at each other and wanted to say something to persuade her.

Before they could speak, Sebastian waved his hand gently and asked Hermione gently.

"Miss Granger, have you ever thought about a question?"

"In their conquest of the wizarding world, wizards defeated goblins, centaurs, mermen and many other magical creatures."

"But no race has ever been treated similarly to the house-elves."

"Logically speaking, if you want slaves, house-elves are not the best solution. After all, from the perspective of wizards' aesthetics, the appearance of house-elves is not very beautiful."

"To be honest, I'm not going to say this properly," Sebastian looked at Harry and Ron, "Among magical creatures, Veela are much prettier than elves. I'm sure you've all seen this at the Quidditch World Cup."

"Why didn't wizards choose magical creatures like Veela as slaves, but get along with them normally?"

Hearing Sebastian's suggestive words, Harry and Ron smiled awkwardly, apparently remembering the embarrassing thing they had done at the opening ceremony of the World Cup.

This question stumped Hermione at once. She frowned slightly and began to think about the answer to the question.

Yes, why?

Logically speaking, Veela are much prettier than house-elves, and if they were used as slaves, just standing there would be extremely pleasing to the eye.

What's more, as magical creatures, Veela can also use magic normally. Basically, they can do most of the things that house-elves can do.

"Professor Swan, I haven't read any relevant books and I don't understand the reasons."

Hermione shook her head in frustration. She had searched through almost all the books related to house-elves in the library, but she didn't see a reason.

"That's normal," Sebastian smiled and comforted Hermione, "Nowadays, it is basically impossible to find any books related to this in the wizarding world. I also learned from some ancient books that there was a war of genocide between us wizards and house-elves."

A war of genocide?!

Hermione's eyes widened; the blood and gore contained in this word was beyond her imagination.

Harry and Ron also looked surprised. They looked at Sebastian curiously, expecting him to give further explanation.

"Miss Granger, think about what the most notable characteristic of house-elves is. I mean, the characteristic other than hard work."

In addition to hard work...

Hermione didn't react for a moment.

Harry had some feelings about this topic, after all, he had spent more time with Jeff, and he had also heard Sirius talk about his embarrassing stories.

More importantly, in his second year, he was attacked by a house-elf named Dobby, and his arm was broken, but no one noticed it at the time.

Thinking of this, he answered aloud: "Their greatest features are their strong concealment and mobility, and their unique means of casting spells. The wizard's anti-Apparition spell cannot restrict them at all."

"That's right!" Sebastian nodded approvingly. "This feature makes them better at sneak attacks, just like the assassins among Muggles."

"In direct combat, they are no match for the wizards, so in the war of genocide they resorted to sneak attacks."

"When wizards are on guard, it is often difficult for them to succeed in sneak attacks, so they set their sights on the wizards' children."

Sebastian could foresee how crazy those wizards would become after children were attacked one after another.

This is going to wipe out the roots of wizards!

This behavior completely touched the bottom line of the wizard.

Naturally, the elves faced fierce revenge from the wizards.

Simply defeating them was not enough to satiate the hatred. With the help of magic, the slavery curse was deeply engraved in the blood of the house-elves, causing them to serve wizards for generations.

Today, the house-elves have long lost any sense of resistance. If they make a mistake, they will punish themselves without even the need for their owners to do anything.

"But..." Hermione opened her mouth and said with difficulty, "Nearly a thousand years have passed. They have been punished enough."

"I just want to help them and let them live a normal life."

"Helping others should be based on respect for others, Miss Granger." Sebastian laughed.

"Last year, when you were overwhelmed with your course load, your professors didn't force you to cancel some classes in the name of your health, right?"

"How would you feel if we really did this to you?"

this......

Hermione was speechless. If the above thing really happened, even if she could understand it, she would still be unhappy.

Sebastian said earnestly, "Self-motivated help can easily lead to dislike from the recipients."

"Since you want to help the house-elves, why don't you go to the kitchen and ask for their opinions, listen to their needs and ideas, and see what they really need?"

“Don’t hurt their feelings under the pretext of being nice to them.”

"Would you like to hear about the elves' needs and ideas?" Hermione was stunned. She had indeed never asked about the needs of the house-elves.

Could it be that I was really just flattering myself by helping the house-elf?

"Miss Granger, practice makes perfect. I'll tell you how to get to the kitchen, and you can go investigate it yourself."

Looking at Hermione who left with a heavy heart, Sebastian smiled helplessly.

A little girl full of love, her heart is good, but her methods are lacking.

I hope Hermione has a different change.

Then he waved to the next little wizard in line.

"Next!"
