Cruelly abusing an intelligent species and deriving pleasure from the violence.
No matter where in the world this kind of behavior is placed, it is a pathological behavior that is not welcomed by civilized society.
To be more precise, except for a few people with psychological distortions or childhood shadows, most wizards do not hold any obvious malice towards magical creatures. They do not deliberately abuse magical species, but... do not regard them as "and
Human beings are creatures with sensitive emotions."
Wizards rarely care about the feelings of other non-human races, and their attitude is often just indifference.
This attitude has nothing to do with kindness and nothing to do with wisdom.
Among them, the most representative one is undoubtedly the elf whose racial name has been changed to "house elf".
As conquerors in ancient times, wizards for generations have domesticated elves and instilled slave ideas in them for generations.
What wizards deprive are not just the freedom, money, and fairness of house elves, but everything. The deprivation of elves by wizards is no longer at the level of personal morality, but the entire wizard class has oppressed elves in the long history. No.
The young wizard will use the "voluntary" will of the house elves as a reason, but the essence of the problem is that this "voluntary" is the "original sin" accumulated by the wizarding community for thousands of years.
What house elves are deprived of is not just the individual treatment of a certain elf, but everything:
All self-existence as a highly intelligent race.
House elves no longer have anything of their own; they are just a part of wizarding life.
All their thoughts, emotions, and lifestyles are all dependent on the wizard, and their individual emotions and rationality are completely ignored and forgotten by the wizard.
In the eyes of most wizards, a "house elf" is an overall concept that is born to obey wizards unconditionally.
"So, you really don't want to consider the proposal I just made? Professor."
Elena stood in front of the fireplace, turning her head to look at Dumbledore sitting behind the desk, making one last attempt at persuasion.
"Products involving wizards will have a certain impact on the existing non-magical market. This requires communication and the content of the discussion is quite complicated. In addition to the supervision and review of the wizarding world, the response plan for the Muggle government also needs to be discussed.
In fact, as I mentioned just now, in the early stages of magic industrialization, we can temporarily start with the production and consumption power of the magic world..."
"For example, is it similar to ordering house elves to enter the free market as independent individuals?"
Dumbledore shook his head and refused firmly.
"They are very different from the Goblins of Gringotts. If you really let go and let you promote this idea, it may be okay in the short term, but over time it will be hard to say. Compared to the uncertainties in the future,
Trouble', I would rather solve the difficulties that are clearly visible to me."
"Actually, why don't you think about it? Even if there is trouble, it will take a long time."
Elena blinked, like a filial little granddaughter, looking at the old wizard with a long white beard with concern.
"You are already 111 years old this year. I just hope that you can take care of your body and don't think about things that are too far away..."
"..."
Dumbledore couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth.
It was because he was afraid of trouble that he sent the girl to Nurmengard Castle in the first place, thinking that the old man would temper her temper.
Who would have known that in less than a week, Grindelwald would have sent back an "enhanced version" of the witch, and by the way, he had openly summoned the saints in Salzburg, almost triggering the Third Wizarding War... Now that I think about it,
, it might have been easier if we had started fighting directly.
"Okay, do you really want me to express my concerns so clearly? Miss Kaslana"
Dumbledore let out a long sigh and said quietly, "You plan to liberate the house elves, right? Those seemingly philistine rhetoric cannot cover up your kind, noble and at the same time extremely naive ideals... I believe,
You will gradually prove that giving house elves more freedom can create more benefits, but in fact that is not the real cause and effect, just like everything you did in the former Soviet Union..."
"Oh, please spare me, Professor Dumbledore"
Elena raised her eyebrows, shook her head with disgust, and said with a chuckle.
"To be honest, I would rather you regard me as the mercenary Fairy Queen, the dangerous and cruel Dark Lord... than to become the stupid, naive and disgusting saint you call me. I just feel that the work of house elves has not reached its maximum saturation.
Degree, profit, nothing more.”
"As one of the vested interests in the future new world, I have no reason to betray my own class."
Elena glanced at the old wizard with a strange expression, raised her finger and shook it from side to side, and said seriously.
"Besides, house elves are different from goblins. In the people of the former Soviet Union, elves neither desire freedom nor need money."
"In terms of revenue ratio, their biggest advantage is that what house elves create is not residual value, but profits that can be cashed out in full directly. As for the requirements of forced consumption, it is just another way of saying "squeeze"
…”
"Hogwarts is the place with the most elves in the wizarding world. I have no reason to lower my quality of life, don't you think?"
Elena waved her hand and poured out the last bit of Floo powder from the small basin beside the fireplace.
During this period, they were teleporting through the Hogwarts fireplace quite frequently, and it seemed that they would have to consider replenishing more supplies in the future.
She sprinkled Floo powder on the flames and watched as the flames instantly turned green.
"Well, have a nice weekend and my work is over."
As the flames rose, her figure quickly disappeared into the Hogwarts principal's office.
…………
Hufflepuff common room, Elena's bedroom.
There was no one in the luxurious and warm room, and a few sets of girls' clothes were scattered randomly on the soft big bed.
The sound of rushing water and the sporadic chattering and joking sounds of girls could be heard from the gap in the ajar bathroom door.
"Phew, I almost got trapped in it again..."
Elena emerged from the flames, patted her chest gently, and let out a long breath.
In the wizarding world, few people can hide their true thoughts in front of Dumbledore and Grindelwald.
Not to mention using some vague words to induce them to make choices like Elena just did. As time went by, it became more and more difficult for her to hide herself in front of the two old people. If it weren't for the long-standing mindset of the magic world, she almost
It was exposed.
The problem of house elves must be solved. It is a debt that lasts for thousands of years.
Slavery may bring benefits in the short term, but when the process of capitalization begins, it will inevitably evolve into a terrifying monster that eats people.
As Marx said: Capital is afraid of no profit or too little profit, just like nature is afraid of a vacuum.
As long as there is enough profit, capital will become bold. If there is 10% profit, capital will be used everywhere; if there is 20% profit, capital will be active; if there is 50% profit, capital will take risks.
; For the sake of 100% profit, capital dares to trample all human laws; with more than 300% profit, capital dares to commit any crime...
However, in the magical world where non-human intelligent creatures exist, wizards have another way to have a particularly high return rate:
Enslaving other races, or bloody oppression of those beings who wander outside human law.
The only way to curb this potential danger is to fundamentally and completely abolish slavery before the evil idea spreads.
As the person who took the initiative to open the door to the world of "magic capital", Elena believes that it is necessary and obligatory for her to close the door to hell that may burst out at any time, otherwise she may really become the biggest executioner in the civilized world.
.
However, liberating house elves is much more difficult than controlling Gringotts.
At least in the original book, Hermione's naive plan for the "House Elf Welfare Association" and her naive attempts eliminated some mistakes for Elena in advance.
She left the woolen fabrics she knitted in the common room, thinking that this would allow the house elves to accidentally get a piece of clothing while cleaning, thereby freeing the house elves in Hogwarts.
But the house elves regarded Hermione's behavior as an insult and even refused to clean the Gryffindor common room because of it.
From Elena's perspective, liberating house elves has never been simply a matter of granting freedom and reward.
What wizards have taken over thousands of years cannot be returned overnight through coercive policies.
The deep-rooted slave mentality of house elves is one of the reasons. More importantly, the elves lack not only freedom and wealth.
What they lack is a complete set of independent survival models. If they want to form spontaneous claims for rights, even if it is just a small beginning like Dobby, then they must be allowed to occupy an independent living space and a certain society in the wizarding world.
value.
"It seems that we still have to find a way to start with Dobby..."
Elena untied the wizard's robe and threw it on the bed, with all kinds of thoughts floating and colliding in her mind.
The big snake in the secret room is gone, and the plot in the original work has long been torn to pieces by her.
However, this does not mean that the plot in the original work has completely lost its effect.
After a little study of Dobby's mental journey, as well as the important nodes and factors that convinced Harry Potter to convince the elf, Elena still has a way to recreate the events one to one. She can even create a 120
% or even 200% effect, and when "Free Dobby" leaves the Malfoy family, there will be a lot more room for her to display her skills as the head chef of Hogwarts.
The only problem is how to shoot these "performances" and how to choose actors and scripts...
Elena kicked off the pleated skirt and calf socks at her feet, opened the bathroom door and walked in.
"You're back? Why did this meeting take so long?"
Noticing the noise near the door, Hermione, who was rubbing bubbles on Luna's back, turned her head and glanced at the flat-chested white-haired dwarf.
Her eyes fell on the little stupid hair dangling lazily on Elena's head, with a wary look on her face.
"And...you're not thinking of any bad ideas again, are you?"
"You say"
Elena whispered thoughtfully.
"Elf Queen or Elf Princess, which of these two titles is more pleasant?"
