Hogwarts Life Guide

Chapter 75 House Elves

After telling Kreacher the specific location of his dormitory, Tangning and Hermione's History of Magic class was about to begin. The two hurried to the classroom, where Professor Binns had already appeared in front of the podium.They found an empty seat in the last row that Jeffrey had reserved for them.

As soon as she sat down, Hermione started asking a hundred thousand questions, such as "Where did your house elf come from?", "What does he usually do?", "How did he get here?"...

Tangning was a little confused, "Professor Binns has started giving lectures!" he reminded, which allowed Hermione to concentrate on taking notes.

But Hermione put down her pen soon after, "I have previewed the content of this lesson, and it seems that Professor Binns has no plans to teach anything beyond that." She continued, "How did your house elf sneak into school?"

"It should be Apparition!" Tangning was not sure.

"But I've read in "Hogwarts: A School History" before that Hogwarts was enchanted to disable Apparition."

"During the Quidditch match years ago, didn't the house elf who attacked Harry use Apparition to escape? Maybe the forbidden magic in Hogwarts is ineffective against house elves!" Tangning suggested. speculation.

Hermione continued to ask quietly, "Actually, I have had a doubt for a long time, why do house elves treat us so... so... humblely?"

The answer to this question will obviously not be recorded.

"Maybe it's because he's used to being manipulated by wizards!" Tangning took over Hermione's words, "That's what happened to Kreacher. He's much better now than before."

"So will you pay Kreacher?" Hermione asked.

"Kreacher doesn't need a salary. For him, asking for payment is a shameful thing. Remember, Hermione, never mention freedom, reward, etc. in front of Kreacher. You definitely don't want to see him talking about these things. The reaction of the words." Tangning said solemnly, these are his personal words.

"What?!" Hermione screamed. She didn't expect that in this era, in wizard families, there would be slave-like existences like house elves. No, in her opinion, this was a slave.But what she didn't expect was that she would scream in class.

The students in the entire classroom looked back. Tangning saw that Hermione's ears were red, and she buried her head in her chest, almost reaching under the desk.

An unexpected scream interrupted Professor Binns's teaching, but Professor Binns remained calm and calm, fully demonstrating the steady quality of an excellent educator in the face of difficulties. He remained calm despite the collapse of the mountain and continued on. lecture……

It took a while for Hermione to calm down. When Tangning saw her raising her head, her face was still slightly red. Of course, this could also be caused by suppressing it when she lowered her head.

Hermione continued, "I guess they don't have holidays either?"

Tangning nodded, "Kreacher hates holidays. He is proud of his work."

"How could you do this!" Hermione condemned, "You are using him as a slave. This is naked exploitation!"

"But in fact, Kreacher is doing quite well now. Have you seen the clothes on him? A long time ago, he only had a dirty pillowcase on him, and I finally ordered him to put on new clothes. Moreover, Kreacher Now he lives in a big house, and no one restricts his freedom. He can go wherever he wants." Tangning tried her best to put it in a positive light. He knew Hermione's character well. If she truly understood the domestic problems of many pure-blood families, With the current situation of the elf, she will definitely be furious.

"You are quibbling!"

"But I told the truth."

Hermione finally said nothing more. After a long time, she asked Tangning, "Are the house elves in the kitchen like this too?"

"But Hogwarts ensures their safety and gives them a fairly comfortable life. And they have at least one summer break every year."

After hearing Tangning's answer, Hermione lowered her head. Tangning didn't know what she was thinking, but after class, Hermione was even more positive than Tangning. To be precise, she wanted to confirm that Kreacher was in the wizarding family. role played in.

They did not go to the Great Hall, but passed directly through the common room. Hermione came to the boys' dormitory again without hesitation. This time it was not a holiday with almost no people, at least there were several people sitting in the common room!

Opening the door to the dormitory, Tangning saw that the entire dormitory had been tidied up. When Tangning opened the door, Kreacher was still busy.

Hearing the sound of the door opening, Kreacher turned around and complained, "The house elves at Hogwarts are so unqualified that they can't even clean the little master's dormitory!"

"Okay, Kreacher. Let me introduce you, this is Hermione Granger, my best friend at Hogwarts." Tangning looked at Hermione and introduced.

On the other side, Hermione smiled sweetly, and she stretched out her hand, "Hello, Kreacher, just call me Hermione."

But Kreacher did not respond immediately. He scratched his head and said with confusion, "With all due respect, little master, Kreacher has never heard of a wizard family named Granger..."

"Kreacher, shut up!" Tangning immediately realized what Kreacher was going to say next. Isn't the reason why Mrs. Tonks doesn't like Kreacher because he is full of extreme pure-blood ideas!In the past, Kreacher could open and shut his mouth like a Mudblood, but things have changed slightly in recent years.

"Hermione is my friend, you know what to do!" Tangning continued.

But Hermione didn't understand this. She was still blaming Tangning for her attitude towards Kreacher just now.

But Kreacher immediately refuted her, "Miss Granger, even though you are the little master's friend, Kreacher still doesn't allow you to say bad things about the little master!"

Hermione had nothing to do with Kreacher, she could only glare at Tangning.But there were times when Tangning couldn't do anything about Kreacher, fearing that he would accidentally fall ill.

"Let's take a look at the book you brought first, Kreacher." Tangning changed the subject.

Kreacher opened the bag again, and he said happily, "Kreacher didn't know which book the little master wanted to find, so Kreacher brought them all!"

Tangning didn't know what to say. After hesitating for a moment, he muttered, "Well done, Kreacher."

Then, he began to carefully select books.Tangning didn't let Hermione intervene, even though the little girl was eager to give it a try.

Soon, Tangning picked out the "Pure Blood Guide". This was a once-famous book. Tangning had heard the name of this book for a long time. The Hogwarts library did not include this book. , I didn’t expect to see it here.
