Harry Potter’s Book of Sin
Chapter 316 S.E.E.S.
() Due to the fact that he hadn't slept almost all night last night, Maca seemed particularly energetic now, because he had to pour himself a sober potion to refresh himself to make sure that he could teach the little wizards normally today.
As long as he finishes the first class in the morning, he will have time to return to the office to catch up.
However, after the bell rang for the first class, Maca, who had just arrived in the corridor, was stopped by classmate Hermione who had been chased out.
"Oh, what's the matter, Hermione?"
Maca turned her head and looked at the girl chased out of the classroom.
"Maca, it will take you a while...is it okay?"
Hermione seemed to be holding something in her hand, and she looked at Maca firmly, seemingly a little nervous.
"Of course... I mean, if you are not afraid of being late for the next class?"
Before he could say anything, Hermione decisively and quickly tugged Maca's sleeve and pulled him behind the corner of the corridor.
"It only takes a few minutes..." Hermione hurriedly said, "Maca, I have something I want to give you, I hope you can accept it!"
As she said, she pulled Maca's hand forcefully again, and stuffed the small thing she had pinched in her palm into Maca's hand.
When Maca opened her hands curiously, she found that it was a not very delicate brass badge. The four letters on the badge are the most striking:
".."
Maca was stunned at the time, as if he had thought of something, but he was not quite sure.After all, things similar to this do exist in his vague memory, but the content above seems to be...
"Huh?" He thought for a while, and simply joked, "sees? What did you see?"
"It's not'seeing'!" Hermione said dissatisfiedly, "It's SEES, which means the Society for the Elfish Spirit (Society for the; of Elfish Spirit)."
"Oh?"
When Maca heard the concept of "liberation spirit", she finally showed a hint of surprise.
"I thought you would get something like a'rights promotion association'!" He stared at Hermione a few more times before saying surely.
This time, Hermione was surprised-when she encountered those house elves who worked hard every day but lived like slaves, the first thing she thought of was to improve their lives.
To make their lives better, they must readjust their status in the wizarding society.
So, what Hermione first thought was to start an advocacy organization called "Household Elf Rights Promotion Association".At this moment this concept ran out of Maca's mouth, how could Hermione not be surprised?
But the key is that an opportunity in Black’s old house and some influences from Maca made Hermione change this initial idea.
In fact, this matter has to start from the source after all...
In a certain expedition of ancient wizards, those elves who were free were completely conquered.The elves who had lost their freedom naturally became a subsidiary race of wizards and were forced to take an oath to serve for wizards for generations.
Not to mention who was right and who was wrong in the original war—because there is always no right or wrong in wars, let’s talk about the elves sworn attached first!
Obviously, in order to be able to continue to survive, the elves, after being conquered, were led by the then elven patriarch and actively obeyed the powerful wizards in despair.
And once the obedience of the weak begins, the primitive beliefs of the elves will collapse like an avalanche.
But in fact, this is just a temptation to change from a "elf" to a "housed elf".
The original elves were originally a race of magic creatures whose individual strength was never weak. They had their own talent magic, and they also possessed a powerful "reproductive ability" that other magic creatures could not match.
Although there was an active period of the "elf" race, it was far away from modern times, and there was really no trace of relevant records to follow.
But based on the above two points, it can be roughly estimated that the battle of wizards to conquer the elves at that time will never be easy.
In this way, it is conceivable why the wizarding society will “treat” house elves repeatedly.
But because of this, when the whole elves belonged to the wizard, their status was actually much higher than it is now.
Because there were records of frequent wars at that time, it was the most appropriate choice for a race like elf with good combat effectiveness to reorganize into a controllable combat force.
However, at some point in history, the elves betrayed!
Perhaps the rebellion was huge, or perhaps the rebellion was not so great, at least the modern magic world did not find much relevant information.
Everyone knows that the elves' betrayal plan completely failed, and it was that failure that caused the "elves", a race of magic creatures, to quickly reach the lowest point.
Complete freedom restrictions, complete labor escorts, and complete ideological reforms have finally made the term "house elf" born in the long river of history.
From the beginning of "the wizard transforms the elves" to the later "the previous generation of elves transform the next generation of elves", the ideological changes have gradually become ingrained and continue to the modern age.
Today, the house elves have completely lost the concept of "self". The wizard's will is their will, and everything about the wizard is their everything.
This is a long and monotonous history, and even there are many ambiguities in it, but Hermione today can understand the truth.
She wanted to understand that even if she could persuade some wizards to unite and propose to raise the social status of house elves and give them the rights they deserve, that would not be what she should do now.
Because the root of the problem lies in the house elves themselves-they have no "self".
Just as Sirius said that day:
"Anyway, the shock will definitely kill him-if you don't believe it, you can try to ask him to leave the house and see how he reacts."
Although Old Kreacher seemed a bit extreme, his wish was to nail his head on the decorative board of the Black house after death, just like his mother, and then hang it on the wall of the Black house "Guangzong Yaozu".
However, his thoughts are like a microcosm of all house elves in today's society, clearly and clearly telling a bloody reality.
Therefore, Hermione gave up the "vomiting", but further figured out "sees".
"Maca, how did you know this word? I haven't told anyone!" Hermione seemed to be a little bit embarrassed about the initial thought, because she later found out that it was too naive when she thought about it.
"I guess..." Maca smiled and said, "I roughly understand what you mean, and I will accept this badge first. Regarding your idea, I choose to support it."
"Really? That's great!" Hermione immediately put aside the shame in her heart, almost jumping for joy.
"Let’s go to class first! Don’t be late for a while... You can come and talk to me when you have time later... Go ahead!"
"Okay," Hermione nodded vigorously. After turning around and running for two steps, she turned around again and said seriously, "Thank you, Maca!"
Seeing Hermione running away from her back, Maca subconsciously stroked her chin.
"Let’s not talk about Hermione’s kindness and ideals. At least the house elves, if handled properly, will indeed become a very powerful boost..."
He couldn't help but feel itchy when he thought of the family elves on the island of Rowena.
He did not intend to disturb the peaceful life of those little guys at the beginning, but if Hermione was able to make a good sign of this "..", then he might as well use the power of those little guys to do something. ?
However, if this is not handled properly, it will become a double-edged sword-he absolutely does not want to do something that harms others and himself, so this matter needs more consideration.
While thinking about it, Maca walked along the corridor to his office. In the middle of the way, he suddenly felt a sense of fatigue pouring out of his body-the effect of the lucidum had come to an end.
He yawned greatly, then pushed open the door of the office and walked in lazily.
"There is one more lesson in the afternoon, so I have to wake up before lunch..."
Maca muttered casually, and with a bang, the office door was slightly closed roughly.
...
On the other hand, Hermione got Maca's affirmation, so she didn't even mention how happy she was.
The next section was a herbal medicine class. The smile on her face never disappeared on the way to the greenhouse.Even in the greenhouse, when Professor Sprout started the class, she still twitched her mouth slightly, as if she would laugh again in the next second.
Beside her, Harry and Ron stared at her suspiciously, staring fiercely.
"What good has happened to her?" Ron leaned into Harry's ear and whispered.
Of course Harry shrugged inexplicably, saying that he didn't know.
Only occasionally, occasionally Hermione would take her gaze away from the flowerpot and the small hand shovel, looking at them with a shining look, each time they would get goose bumps.
"Harry, I don't think it's a good thing!" Ron said to Harry with a serious face while Hermione was not paying attention, "I want to say, let's not stay in the common room for a while, just go back to the dorm!" "
At this moment, Hermione glanced at the two of them very abruptly again, that line of sight seemed to be looking at the animal to be slaughtered.
"Ron," Harry said in a low voice, decisively, "I have to admit, I will listen to you this time!"
