“David, are you okay?”

As soon as Professor McGonagall left, Hermione squeezed away from the crowd and walked to David’s side.

“It’s alright.”

After David finished speaking, he suddenly realized that Hermione’s expressions were not quite right. Their words didn’t seem to be asking if he was injured by the fire dragon, but asking about other things?

“What’s wrong with you? Something is hiding from me?”

Harry and Ron looked at each other for a moment, and Harry pushed Ron with the hand hidden behind his back.

Ron couldn’t help but step forward and stood in front of a few people.

“Ron?” David blinked.

“Ahem.” Ron quietly struck Harry with his back, and smiled awkwardly. “This is how it happened. Soon after you left, Professor McGonagall found us, and she asked us where you were. .”

“Of course.” Ron showed a simple expression. “We were prepared to die rather than say it at first, but…”

“But how?”

“But…Professor McGonagall said you might be in danger, we told her in a hurry, and Snape accidentally heard…”

Ron said with drooping eyebrows, breathlessly.

“Anything else?” David said.

“No more.”

Harry and the others stared at the crack in the floor, looking frustrated.

Although their starting point is good, they are afraid of David being hurt, but in the final analysis, they still betrayed their friends.

Seeing them, David couldn’t help but think of the cat and raccoon in the family sitting in front of Tina after scratching the sofa, with a smile on his mouth.

“Well, I didn’t mean to blame you. Besides, she is Professor McGonagall. Few people can lie in front of her, neither can I.” David said with a smile, “And I believe you too, at the point You will surely keep secrets for me when you come.”

Harry and the others quietly breathed a sigh of relief. When they saw Snape making trouble with David, their hearts were hanging in their throats.

It was not until Professor McGonagall came forward to relieve David that they were a little relieved.

“David, what did you do before?”

Fred said, behind him, many Gryffindor students gathered around.

“Yes, how can you not tell your two powerful talents!” George pretended to be dissatisfied.

David shook his head, sighed, ignored them, but looked at the people around him: “What’s the matter with you?”

“We want to say thank you!”

Katie Bell said heartily that when David first came to school, she took David to Professor McGonagall’s office.

“If it weren’t for you, we might still be buried under the gravel!” Wood said.

“Yes, at that time I was lying on the bed reading a book, and I was looking attentively. I felt the bed sway for a while, and then I saw a big rock fall as soon as I looked up. I thought I had passed away so young. A house elf appeared in time and saved me.”

Lee Jordan recalled that scene, and now he still has lingering fears on his face.

“Your book…is it serious?”

Someone among the crowd said something quietly.

The surroundings were quiet for a while, and everyone laughed strangely.

Lee Jordan looked startled, and hurriedly said in a loud voice: “I read “Research on the Development of Modern Witchcraft”, a serious book, very serious!”

“Well, we know what you read… serious books.”

Someone squeezed their throats and said, the last few words were still dragged long.

“Who is it?” Lee Jordan’s gaze swept across the crowd, and when he moved near David, he jumped up all of a sudden, “It really is you! Fred!”

“not me……”

Fred squeezed his throat and said weirdly, and ran away with George.

“You two stop me!”

Lee Jordan squeezed away from the crowd and screamed and chased after him.

“What are they laughing at?” Looking at Fred and the laughing crowd around him, Hermione asked in a bewildered voice, “Is there anything wrong with the book? What is that? Kind of?”

The smile on David’s face instantly disappeared, and he said solemnly: “I don’t know, ghosts know what they are talking about a day.”

“Really?” Hermione raised her eyebrows and glanced suspiciously across David.

“Of course!” David said abruptly, and hurriedly broke the topic, “Will you go to the kitchen later? I haven’t eaten enough yet, and I need to thank the house elves.”

“Um… let’s go together.”

Hermione thought for a moment and said.

After the crowd dispersed, David led Hermione down the stairs leading to the basement level, to the door with the fruit plate.

After making Lizi laugh, David held the green doorknob, pushed the door and walked in.

“Oh, Mr. David Scamander, you are here.”

The house elves in the kitchen immediately stopped their work and immediately gathered in front of David. Those who came late were still on their toes so that David could see him.

David smiled and looked around, and said sincerely: “Thank you today. If it weren’t for you, there would definitely be students injured.”

After that, David bowed to the house elf from left to right, and Hermione and the others hurriedly followed.

“Oh, oh, no, no, we are just completing your task, you are our friend, you don’t have to do this!”

The house elves seemed to have exploded and became flustered, their eyes glistening with tears, and their hands and feet swaying wildly at a loss.

David has seen this behavior several times, and he has a plan to deal with it.

“Can you help me prepare a dinner? I haven’t eaten enough this afternoon.” David said with a smile.

“Of course, it will be fine soon.”

The house elf quickly calmed down upon hearing the request and quickly returned to his post.

Hermione looked around and whispered, “Are they here all the time? They make everything we eat?”

“Well, it’s almost.”

David walked to his usual place and sat down.

There was a strange look on Hermione’s face: “The students at Hogwarts don’t seem to know them?”

David tilted his head and thought for a while: “Children born in wizarding families almost know them. As for others, only Hufflepuff students know a little bit more.”

Hermione frowned: “Then they wear such clothes every day? Do they have holidays? Are they paid?”

Realizing that Hermione’s tone was not right, David took out his wand to seal the surroundings to prevent their conversation from reaching the ears of the house elves.

“Do you want to change their lives?” David asked.

“Should it not be changed?” Hermione asked back, angrily. “They work so hard every day and live in such an environment, wearing ragged pillowcases.”

“Then what do you want to do?”

“They deserve a salary, a vacation, and a life of their own, and everyone at Hogwarts should know them and be grateful to them!” Hermione said immediately.

“I think the last thing you said is good, but the first one may have been a little hasty.”

“why?”

“Have you known house elves before?” David asked.

Hermione shook her head slowly.

David said: “When my grandfather just graduated, he used to raise elves and worked in the resettlement office for two years. He did some in-depth research on them. There are still materials about them on the bookcases in my home. I I have read a lot and obtained some information from it. For the house elves, their greatest creed is to serve humanity.”

“What about Dobby?”

“He is a relatively special individual in this group.” David said, “You can’t use him to represent everyone, just like Voldemort out of a wizard, but it doesn’t mean everyone is Voldemort.”

“but……”

Seeing that Hermione’s face was still a little bit angry, David continued: “My grandfather wanted to improve their situation before intensively studying, but in the end it didn’t change much. Do you know why?”

Hermione raised her eyebrows and motioned for David to continue.

“On the one hand, it is the inherent concept of wizards. They subconsciously believe that house elves are born to serve them. Ron can testify to this.”

Ron was startled with the melon-eating expression on his face and nodded quickly.

“But this is not the key. The most important point is the inner thoughts of the house elves. They themselves think that they are the slaves of the wizards. It is their vocation to serve the wizards. If you want to change all of this, they will cruel you. I hate you, because what you say is a shame to them.”

There was a look of astonishment on Hermione’s face.

David sighed and continued: “The creed of serving wizards has been carved into their bones. If you change them on your own impulse, you will only kill them.”

“Then… shall we do nothing?” Hermione said.

“Of course not.” David said with a smile, “We can let more people know about them, and slowly and unobtrusively change people’s views on house elves, and let them treat them kindly.”

“For example, writing a novel based on their prototype, making a drama, etc., just like Lockhart, after his book was published, some people felt that vampires and werewolves were not so difficult to accept, and he was considered to have done a good job. It’s not his intention…”

“If you can become the Minister of Magic in the future, you can also include the prohibition of abuse of house elves in the regulations. Of course, this will inevitably have a lot of resistance. My grandpa failed at that time.”

David took a sigh of relief, and then said: “Now, what we can do is let the people around us respect them first, and then guide others to respect them. Remember to guide, not force, otherwise not many people will listen. your.””

“Just like today, the house elves rescued the students of Gryffindor. They will definitely have some good feelings for the house elves. If you slowly guide them, their attitude towards the house elves will be better.”

“The water flows long, you emptied the patience in people’s hearts at once, and they won’t pay attention to you.”

Hermione was sitting in the chair with her head down, dull and silent.

“When most house elves are used to treating them as equals, and if someone abuses them, they themselves will rise up and there will be more Dobbys. You guide them to see the candlelight, and they will slowly Longing for the sun to shine.”

After David finished speaking, the house elves had prepared their food and brought them to their surroundings.

David lifted the surrounding barriers, smiled and took the food and put it on the table, and said to Hermione: “The most respected way they are now is to eat all these things!”

Upon hearing David’s words, Harry, Ron, and Neville were shocked and hurriedly extended their paws to the food on the table.

Although they have eaten this afternoon, as long as the food is delicious enough, they will have another stomach, which is also a kind of magic.

Hermione stared at the steaming thing on the table for a moment, reached out and picked up a piece of pie, chewing it.

David smiled, and Harry and the others started fighting over what was on the table.

Seeing Davids eating so happily, the house elves followed and smiled.

After eating, Hermione solemnly thanked the house elves, and they became panicked again.

Seeing this scene, Hermione suddenly felt that what David said was a little bit reasonable, and she was going to go back and think about what to do.

Early the next morning, the sun had just chased the moon down.

Fred and George rushed to David’s dormitory and kept whispering in his ears.

“What’s the matter?” David said sleepily.

“It’s okay, David, you continue to sleep, we are not particularly anxious.” Fred leaned aside and whispered.

“Yes, isn’t it the eight-eyed giant spider…we are not in a hurry.” George looked at David with blank eyes.

David smiled helplessly: “You start outside when you call Ron and Harry!”

“No problem!” Fred was full of vitality in an instant and ran to Ron’s bed excitedly.

David closed his eyes and squinted for a while, then yawned, and when he got up, Fred had picked up Ron and the others and sat down.

It’s just that Harry’s head kept flaring down, very sleepy.

After washing, David led them to the girls’ bathroom.

Surprisingly, Myrtle was not there today, and I don’t know where to go wandering.

After chanting the spell and the pool began to shake, Fred and George immediately took a step forward with interest, watching its changes with wide-eyed eyes.

“This is so cool!” Fred looked at the black hole’s pipe that was exposed after the pool disappeared. “Are we going to go down here?”

“Yes, I’ll go ahead. You can wait a while and just slide down.”

David slapped Fred on the shoulder~www.mtlnovel.com~ and his feet moved forward, falling down quickly as if he was doing a slide.

Approaching the bottom, David was so proficient in letting himself fly into the air, and then he remembered and shouted loudly: “Be careful, remember to use the Levitating Charm to float after you see the exit.”

“what?”

As soon as Fred’s voice fell, there was a bang in the passage, and he plunged straight into the quagmire.

Fred lay dizzy in the mire for a while, and cheers came from behind him, and he hurriedly walked away quietly.

George followed Fred’s footsteps and hit him where he was just now.

Fred had already used a spell to remove the stains on his body. He walked up to George with a disgusted face, sighed and said, “George, you disappointed me so much…”
