Hogwarts Life Guide

"The Pure-Blood Guide" was published anonymously in the 30s. The book named 28 pure-blood families living in the United Kingdom, among which Abbot, Black, Lestrange, Malfoy, and Weasley were all on the list. , which made many pure-blood families who were not on the list very dissatisfied at the time.

Simply put, this is a controversial book, but it does list the pureblood families that are well-known in British wizarding circles.

Apart from this book, Tangning didn't find any useful books. What Kreacher brought was either a book like "How to Identify Purebloods and Muggles" or a dark magic book that was still emitting black mist. Tangning didn't even touch the book.

"Okay, Kreacher." Tangning only placed the "Pureblood Guide" next to her and put all the other books into her bag. "You can go back. Be careful when you put the books away!"

Kreacher helped Tangning put the book away and put the bag on his body again. He bowed deeply to Tangning. Under the weight of the black bag, his head was pressed almost to the ground. He said, "Little master." Kreacher is here if needed!"

After that, Kreacher disappeared directly.

Tangning was already used to this. He picked up the "Pureblood Guide" and planned to check out what items in it might be related to Slytherin.

Then he suddenly remembered that he was not alone. Hermione beside him seemed to have been motionless for a long time. Looking back, Tangning found that the little girl was staring at him angrily!All it takes is one tooth to turn into a little lion.

"It's not that I didn't let you read those books on purpose. The main reason is that black magic books are too dangerous for us at this age." Tangning thought Hermione was angry about this, but he was obviously wrong.

"I didn't expect you to do such a thing!" Hermione's eyes widened, and she started to grit her teeth.

"what?"

"You actually... don't feel guilty at all about the fact that you enslaved a house elf..."

Tang Ning "???"

……

After spending a long time talking, Tangning finally got Hermione to stop worrying about Kreacher.This was only temporary, because not long after, Hermione began to seek Tangning's opinion - "What do you think we can do to change the situation of the house elves?"

"Although we really don't want to hurt you, there is nothing we can do." Tangning said helplessly, "House elves have been tamed by wizards for thousands of years, just like Kreacher. I tried to change his mind when I was a child. But... you know how it turns out."

Then Tang Ning noticed that the little girl lowered her head, rubbed her clothes with her fingers, and remained silent for a while - this gave Tang Ning an obvious signal that the little girl was unhappy.

"Well, if you want, you can try to submit an article to the Daily Prophet or Wizarding Weekly and write down your thoughts. They are the most influential newspapers and magazines in the UK. But I guess No wizard would give his house-elves freedom, and few elves would want freedom..."

"You must be one of these wizards who don't want to give the elves freedom!" Hermione said angrily.

"This is different!" Tangning immediately defended, "Strictly speaking, Kreacher doesn't really belong to me. I don't have such a big right to decide whether Kreacher will stay or go."

"But you can indeed give him freedom!" Hermione looked like she hated iron, "and you are not willing to fight for his freedom!"

Okay, I'm starting to get confused again.

Tangning cleared her throat and said, "You should know that the master can free the house elf by giving him any piece of clothing. This involves an ancient magical contract. But can you understand that even if I Kreacher wouldn't accept clothes if they were given to him. Do you know how Kreacher put on the blue cloth robe? When I didn't know how to free house elves, I once gave Kreacher a clean robe. Clothes, he used to wear a rag that was worn so that the shape could not be seen clearly. But when Kreacher saw the pair I gave him, he burst into tears, not because he was moved, but because he thought I I don’t want him anymore…”

"Finally, I can only tell Kreacher my order - let him dress himself up with new clothes. Of course, he brought the clothes himself."

Tangning still had something to say. A free house elf in the magical world was very dangerous. Not all wizards were good men and women.Just think about what a house elf can do, which is worth more than a fire dragon.

To be honest, Tangning was indeed willing to give Kreacher his freedom if he needed it. After all, Kreacher had been with him throughout his childhood in this world.But this doesn't mean that Tangning doesn't want a house elf to work for him. He has also thought about finding a house elf when he reaches adulthood to reduce Kreacher's work burden!

"...but there must be pay and holidays!" Hermione said firmly.

"Kreacher should be on paid vacation now, right? Hermione..."

"Hmph, I'm going to write the manuscript now!" Hermione left, but after a while she came back and said, "I'll lend you your Jinx to deliver the manuscript to me later." Her tone was still a bit stiff.

"No problem." Tangning agreed.

……

After Hermione left again, Tangning opened the "Pureblood Guide". Tangning was sure that the author of this book was definitely a guy who knew a lot about pureblood families. For example, the book introduced the Gaunt family. The bloodline is pure and consanguineous marriages have occurred for generations.The Gaunt family is an outstanding representative of the pure-blood family, but members of this family are often violent...

This sentence instantly attracted Tangning's attention. Among the 28 pure-blood families he had reviewed, none of them had been closely related to each other for generations like the Gunter family.Even like Weasley, Muggles appear from time to time in the huge family. Weasley should be the most open-minded among the 28 families in treating Muggles.Tangning was also a little confused as to why the anonymous author, who was obviously leaning towards pure-blood ideas, would put Weasley into these 28 pure-blood families until he once again saw Weasley teasing Percy in the common room. Twins, he finally guessed an idea that he thought was reliable - there is strength in numbers. Weasley is the family with the most children among the 28 families. No family can compare with them. For pure-blood families, the most The important thing is not the pure bloodline, but the continuous inheritance.

After coming up with this answer, Tangning realized that she had gone off topic. The key to the problem now was to find someone in the school with the surname Gunter or someone who could be related to Gunter.

There were so many students at Hogwarts that Tangning didn't know, which meant that Tangning needed to get a list of students from Professor McGonagall.
