"I think the plan should be changed. At least until the end of this war, and the entire world has not changed and remains in its original condition, there is no point in liberating the house elves." He went upstairs and returned to the common room.
Hermione suddenly said on the way.
"You also discovered it?" "I found out after we talked today. After all, I have never had any experience with them before." Hermione raised her eyebrows. "I am accustomed to this kind of whole-hearted servitude, and I am even very satisfied with my current life.
It will take a long time for living creatures to change their minds, at least in our plans there is simply no such time and energy."
"Yes, in addition to the problems of house elves themselves, the overall environment is not friendly. House elves are basically concentrated in the hands of pure-blood families. The Ministry of Magic, which is dominated by pure blood, will never pass a decree similar to the emancipation of slaves, even if
There will also be a lot of problems in enforcing the law, and we can't free the house elves when they themselves don't want to be free."
At this point, Hermione looked at Ryan, paused, and then continued: "In addition, these house elves basically monopolize the service industry or simple manufacturing industry in the wizarding world. It is different from what I imagined.
It didn't take away jobs from marrow wizards. I just took it for granted." Hermione admitted her previous shortcomings.
"It's not just that." Ryan said: "Once you liberate them, many house elves will lose their jobs, so how will they survive? And after the free elves enter the market, if they take the jobs of wizards, it will cause serious conflicts.
That would be even worse."
"Indeed, I just found out through investigation that most wizarding families do not abuse their house elves. After all, house elves are their slaves and equivalent to their property. Not many idiots will destroy their own.
Property. Therefore, liberating the house elves is not so imminent. This is why I gave up this part of the plan, because I found that I thought wrong at the time, and following that line of thinking will not be good for everyone, including the house elves."
Finally Hermione concluded.
"So, let's focus on improving our strength now. In the wizarding world, this is the only thing that determines everything." Ryan ended the discussion about house elves with these words.
Although the problem of house elves is a bit unpleasant, there is not no good news these days. For example, from the recent "Daily Prophet", we can see that the big-mouthed Rita Skeeter has now focused her attention.
Now that we are at the Ministry of Magic, we have finally let go of Hogwarts. You don’t need to read those spooky stories made up.
Hagrid finished teaching about the Golden Snitch in Care of Magical Creatures last week, so this week he changed to a new magical creature. When we walked to the playground, everyone was worried that he would show those dangerous creatures again in class, especially
All kinds of uneasiness reached its peak after seeing Hagrid bring out several cartons, because the previous blast-ended skrewts were brought out in this kind of cartons.
Fortunately, after getting closer, Ryan saw a group of fluffy black guys in the cardboard box. They had long noses and flat front paws, like shovels. When everyone looked at them, they also used their little eyes.
Look at the classmates.
"Sniff sniff!" How could Ryan not recognize this animal? This was the star of the movie "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them" in his previous life. Needless to say, he was an absolute big star.
"These are Nifflers," Hagrid and other students gathered around and said, "They can usually be seen in mines. They like shiny things... No, look." A Niffler suddenly jumped up and thought.
Biting Hagrid's pocket watch chain, but Hagrid grabbed it and put it back in the box.
"It is said that Newt Scamander, the author of the book "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them", once raised a litter of Sniffers and helped him a lot during his adventures." Hagrid added some additional information to everyone.
Knowledge.
After introducing this magical creature, Hagrid spent the rest of the class asking each of them to take a Niffler and search for the 100 leprechaun gold coins he had buried in the plowed land in front of them.
It's obvious that these sniffers have been trained. After finding something, they will rush to the classmate who let them go and spit the gold coins into their hands. It's not like Scamander's batch of sniffers.
When I see something shiny, I want to put it in the pocket on my stomach.
In the end, Ron's Niffler won the championship, and the gold coins it brought back were piled all over Ron's thighs. Therefore, it also received a large piece of Honeydukes chocolate given to him by Hagrid as a reward.
Later, in the Defense Against the Dark Arts class, Ryan was called out to spar with Moody alone. Fortunately, except for being a little embarrassed, Ryan lasted for five minutes. Naturally, after class, Moody encouraged him to become an Auror after graduation. After being declined,
He was not angry, but sincerely invited Ryan to come and sit in his office when there were no classes in the future. He was willing to share his experience as an Auror with Ryan over the years.
Moody is indeed a person who has truly fought for justice all his life, which is worthy of respect. But forget about him being an Auror. After all, Ryan doesn't think he is the kind of person who is willing to devote his life to the cause of justice.
Since Voldemort returned, Principal Dumbledore has often disappeared from the school, and with him is his old buddy Moody. In the past month, Moody has changed classes two or three times. The only
The good news is that judging from the expressions of the two people, their progress has been very good recently.
A week before Halloween, Ryan received a note from Dumbledore inexplicably when he was reading in the library, asking him to go to the principal's office on Saturday, with the password: sizzling honey candy.
"Why is the principal looking for you?" Hermione frowned. As an insider of Voldemort's resurrection, he felt that Dumbledore must have something to do with Ryan this time. She was a little worried about Ryan's safety.
"Don't worry." Ryan took Hermione's hand and patted it to express comfort. "Even if something happens, I will go with Principal Dumbledore. In this case, even if there is danger, Professor Dumbledore will be there to block him."
After finishing practice and eating lunch on Saturday morning, Ryan arrived at the principal's office at the designated time. When he stepped on the stairs, he discovered that in addition to Principal Dumbledore, there was Professor Moody. The two of them were separated by the desk.
Sitting and drinking tea, they looked very relaxed.
"Principal Dumbledore, what do you want from me?" Ryan asked after walking into the office.
"We found something and now we need your help." Dumbledore said to Ryan.
"But I'm just a student! How can I help you?" Ryan was confused when he heard this request, because he didn't think he could solve the problem that two old men who were nearly two hundred years old together couldn't solve it.
"Hey, don't say that. On the one hand, some of the suggestions you made last time were very good, so I hope to listen to your suggestions. On the other hand, we need an alchemist, but there are too many people who know alchemy now.
Less, and to ensure that the news of Voldemort's resurrection does not leak out, this person must be reliable and unremarkable, so we chose you."
"Also, I want to tie people with potential to me to avoid any disadvantages to his plans." Ryan said, after all, a helpless student in the magical world can master the art of alchemy itself.
This is not normal, and it is inevitable to become the object of attention.
Fortunately, there are rare cases of great achievements in some aspects after occasional encounters in the wizarding world, but there are still some. Professor Dumbledore does not have much doubt about a neutral subject such as alchemy, especially Ryan, as a marrow wizard.
This raised the possibility that he and Voldemort might get together. So although Dumbledore had intentions of wooing and using Ryan, at least it was for friendly purposes.
In short, Dumbledore's impression of Ryan is that he is a scholar, but he also has the passion of a young man, such as participating in the Triwizard Tournament this time. As a teacher, he needs to provide certain guidance to prevent Ryan from getting too far.
On the crooked road, Ryan naturally hopes that the principal can maintain this understanding.
Thinking of this, Ryan said to Dumbledore: "I'm glad I can help you, so please feel free to ask me."
