The Reform and Opening of the Magic World [Comprehensive British and American]

Harry didn't tell anyone about Hagrid's meal here, but the food on the Gryffindor table in the lobby was automatically less.This is not the first time that this kind of thing has happened. No matter what the students do not go to the hall to eat, the food on the table will be reduced accordingly, as if someone is secretly watching their every move, but even in the school The students with the highest grades never noticed any living things nearby.

"What you said is true, and they can also apparate in school..." Hermione thought thoughtfully after hearing Huang Die bring up this topic.

"Not only at school, even if my parents closed Malfoy Manor, these elves seem to be able to come and go freely, and there seems to be a unique way of connection between them." Draco disapproved while eating grilled chicken wings Said.

As far as the elves in that school are concerned, they seem to know everything that goes on inside Hogwarts, but they won't reveal anything unless someone asks, and students have no authority to inquire about these secrets.

There used to be students who wanted to find out the internal structure of Hogwarts and asked them, but the elf would rather smash his head against the wall than say a word. In the end, the student who caused trouble was expelled, and the school also had Related to the ban, elves rarely appear in front of students nowadays.

From a certain point of view, a house elf with such a magical talent and a magical talent no less than that of an ordinary wizard is really a terrifying existence.Moreover, it seems that they are more convenient to use magic than humans, even without systematic training, they can still exert great power.Just like Dobby, the house elf who used to serve the Malfoys who was with Dumbledore now, he was even able to face the Death Eaters, and made a big difference when Voldemort attacked on the front line. credit.

"You say that, why do I suddenly feel a little scary." Ron rubbed his goosebumps on his arm. Although his mother always wanted to raise house elves, but now that he heard about it, he felt that the corpse upstairs Ghosts are much cuter than this thing.He didn't want to be stared at by a pair of eyes when he was doing anything in his private space.

Hearing what Ron said, Draco twitched the corner of his mouth and said, "What's the matter, they are house elves."

"What do you mean they are house elves, they have the same thoughts as us, and they are all equal intelligent beings." Hermione, who has been working hard to promote the house elf protection law, couldn't bear to hear Draco's tone. Live corrected.

"No, house-elves are different from wizards. They are born to serve wizards." Seeing Hermione standing up, Draco stretched out his hand and made a lion, as if her disheveled hair was about to explode into a lion. Silenced, and said: "No one will care whether the house-elf has thoughts or not. Except for you, all the wizards in the UK will be the same as me. Your naive idea of ​​liberating the elves is impossible to realize, because there is no one. People will agree, they won't even care."

Draco's words directly hit Hermione's sore spot. Although there are indeed people who support her, most people still think her behavior is ridiculous, and there are many people who support her, but they vote with a playful attitude .

"Dobby belongs to your family, right?" Hermione glanced at the little junior sister who was silently bowing her head and eating meat, then turned her head and asked back.

Draco stifled, blushing and said: "He doesn't count, that's a traitor, my father has driven him away! I heard that he couldn't find a job at all before, no one would hire a house elf who asked for wages ..." It's just an elf, who actually wants to be treated like a human.

"Now he works at Hogwarts, with a salary of one Galleon a month and one day off." The junior sister said while grilling meat, holding ten meat skewers in one hand, and twisting the bamboo sticks with her thumbs Gently turn it, bake it evenly on the fire, put it on a large dinner plate after roasting, and Harry can take two skewers of meat in one bite.

"Dobby was just an accident, the elves all regarded him as a different kind, and the elves in our family felt that his existence was ashamed..."

Seeing that Draco was a little anxious, Hermione seemed to have opened up the two veins of Ren and Du, and said: "One Dobby will appear, which means that there will be more in the future. Blacks are also brainwashed into thinking that they are born to be White people serve, but more and more people realize that they are no worse than white people. Now that the house-elves have begun to realize this, can you guarantee that they and their descendants will not start to yearn for a free life , especially when there is more than this catalyst. And when they can realize that they are no worse than wizards, things have reached a very bad point. Instead, let's do something proactively, not because they start hating wizards Then passively change."

Draco was obviously very dissatisfied, but he couldn't find anything to refute for a while.

Ron liked seeing Draco speechless like this the most, so he deliberately elbowed him and said, "This is how you surrender, young master Malfoy?"

Draco gave him a blank look, and said: "You don't understand anything at all. Those elves said that they are proud to serve me." He felt that he was more reasonable, and he ate a mouthful of chicken triumphantly, and said: "Oh I forgot that some poor families... don’t have house-elves, after all, they need to prepare a lot of money.” As the richest pure-blood family present, Draco found a long-lost sense of superiority, but after finishing speaking After that, he immediately subconsciously looked at his class enemy Junior Sister, and found that she was staring at the chicken wings in his hand.

Draco quickly gnawed all the chicken wings in his hand, threw the chicken bones into the fire, and said to his junior sister: "What are you looking at, if you want to eat, roast it yourself."

The little junior sister looked at him even more strangely, and said: "It's not that I want to eat it, I just found that the feathers of the chicken wings you ate just now were not plucked..."

"..." The pampered young master Malfoy covered his mouth and ran behind the tree to vomit.

Hermione, who was also eating chicken wings, turned her head to the little junior sister and said, "You are mistaken, using magic to remove hair will leave no residue."

The little junior sister picked up a chicken wing and said, "It's really clean, I was wrong."

Even so, Draco can't eat chicken wings anymore, and every time he sees them, he can't help but see their fluffy appearance in his mind.Ron ate it happily, not only did he have no psychological shadow at all, but he also ran to Draco with the chicken wings, and every time he ate it, he smacked his mouth very loudly.

When we were arguing endlessly about the house-elves here, Harry still remembered the business. After he had finished his meal, he wiped his hands and said, "Uncle Hagrid, Harry has something to ask about this time. I hope you can give me some pointers." Then, he took out the golden egg from under the junior sister's skirt, and said, "This is the clue for the second match."

"That's not okay Harry, I can't help you cheat." Hagrid blinked mischievously, then took the golden egg from Harry's hand and said, "Can you go to the house and help me get some salt? First help you collect it."

Harry was taken aback, obviously not understanding what Hagrid meant, and he said, "Don't worry, Uncle Shi. In this second match, he didn't say that the clues cannot be helped by foreign aid." After explaining, he honestly went to Hagrid. He was looking for salt in his room, and after a while he came out and said, "Uncle Shi, where is your salt, sorry for Harry's incompetence, I didn't find it."

"...you don't need to look for it," said Hagrid. There was a big jar of salt beside him.

Harry agreed, walked over and sat opposite Hagrid, glanced at his side, raised his eyebrows, and said pleasantly, "Uncle, this salt is right at your hand."

"……I know."

Hagrid opened the golden egg under Harry's watchful eyes, and the piercing sound reappeared, choking the group of people who were arguing in full swing. When Harry saw it, he quickly apologized: "I'm sorry, I was negligent. , I forgot that the sound is very harsh."

"No, it's very familiar..." Hagrid didn't remember it for a while, he patted his forehead, and said, "I remember it shouldn't be this voice, what is it, please wait a moment, let me Think about it..."

"Uncle, please." Harry said hastily, seeing that Hagrid had closed his eyes and meditated, he got up and walked to the fire to sit down, and began to help his junior sister barbecue.Perhaps it was because the second game finally had a breakthrough, and he was in a good mood. While grilling meat, he sang a song: "For a while, the time flows slowly, flowing into the moonlight and rippling slightly..." For Expressing his love for the song, he also changed it to an English version.

Draco's face suddenly pulled down, Ron and Hermione laughed out loud, the younger junior sister turned to look at Draco, and said, "Listen, it's the lotus pond you contracted."

"Shut up, you!" Draco never thought that he had the same taste as Harry.

Harry sang beautifully here, and said intoxicated, "I'm like a fish in your lotus pond, just to watch the bright moonlight with you..."

"That's right! Fish!" Hagrid suddenly jumped up, pointed at Harry and said, "That's right, I got it, mermaid!"

The pointed Mermaid Harry was stunned.

The others were also silent for a second.

After a long time, Ron was the first to break the silence and said, "How can there be such a fat mermaid..."

Draco nodded: "Could it be a piranha?"
