The lights in the Muggle Studies professor's office were brighter than those of the other professors.

Because Professor Zhang is not used to writing under the light of candles, he simply got a few lighting fixtures in his office that are similar to fluorescent lamps.

As a wizard with full lighting skills, this is a piece of cake for Zhang Xu.

At the same time, with a trace of smoke wafting from the aromatherapy burner beside the desk, the air in the office is filled with a faint scent of sandalwood.

On the window sill of the office, there is a large pot of daffodils that occupies the entire window sill. On the shelf by the fireplace, there are pots of succulents. On both sides of the door, there are two pots of orange trees pruned into a cylindrical shape with a height of one person. On the right side of Zhang Xu's seat is a tall fortune tree.

Sitting in such an office, Hermione didn't feel a little depressing like sitting in the dimly lit offices of other professors, but felt extremely relaxed.

Zhang Xu poured Hermione a cup of tea, and then said to her, "I want to talk to you about something about the House Elf Rights Promotion Association."

Hermione had seen Hogwarts house-elves in the kitchen in her first year, but she had always assumed that house-elves were Hogwarts employees.

It wasn't until she met Winky in the box of the Quidditch World Cup stadium in the summer of 1994 that Hermione knew the status and situation of house elves in the magical society.

When Zhang Xu and Hermione were living in the Burrow in the last week of summer vacation, Hermione wanted to discuss with Zhang Xu about house-elves. Zhang Xu, who didn't want to get involved at the time, would change the topic every time.

As soon as the school year started, Hermione founded the "House-Elf Rights Promotion Association".

After Hermione chatted with Dobby in the kitchen and learned that Zhang Xu also hired Dobby, she tried to get Zhang Xu to join the club many times, but Zhang Xu refused every time.

It was only recently that Hermione started fooling Gabriel, which gave Zhang Xu the idea of ​​helping this small organization with problematic working methods.

Hearing Zhang Xu talking about the House-Elf Rights Promotion Association, Hermione's eyes became serious.

"First of all, I want to know, what is the ultimate goal of the House-Elf Rights Promotion Association?" Zhang Xu asked.

"Stop cruelty to house-elves and improve their legal status.

' replied Hermione.

"So, how did you do it?" Zhang Xu asked again.

"Find a way to dress the house-elves and give them freedom," Hermione replied.

"Throwing clothes won't save the house elf." Zhang Xu shook his head and said.

"But..." Hermione was about to argue when she was interrupted by Zhang Xu's hand.

"If you want to talk about national liberation and independence - let's look at the house elves as a nation first - there is no nation in the world that has more successful experience than our Chinese nation." Zhang Xu said, "As a friend , I need to tell you a little revolutionary experience."

Hermione nodded, took out her notebook and quill, and was about to start taking notes.

Zhang Xu also organized the language.

"Does the clothes you give the house elves have any effect?" Zhang Xu asked.

Hermione thought about it, and finally shook her head helplessly and said, "No. Except for Dobby, the other house-elves are terribly afraid of those clothes."

"Most house-elves are used to their jobs, and they seem to like it very much. The house-elves think it's an insult to you for what you do. Do you know why? ?” Zhang Xu asked again.

Hermione shook her head dejectedly.

"Do you know about house elves? Have you investigated the history and current situation of house elves?" Zhang Xu asked again.

Hermione was about to nod, but she suddenly realized that she didn't know any other house-elves except Dobby. As for the history of the house-elves, she was even more blindsided. Finally she shook her head helplessly.

Looking at Hermione shaking his head, Zhang Xu just smiled helplessly in his heart.

It's not Hermione's fault. It's a problem with British education. Hermione never learned that "studying medicine can't save Chinese people" when she was a child, and she was not taught this in British schools.

So when Hermione faced the question of how to start a revolution, the books she had read in the past could not provide her with any useful help.

In the textbooks of Huaxia in the 1990s and before, from elementary school to high school, in Chinese, history, and political classes, the method of revolution has been subtly taught to students.

"If you haven't investigated the house elf issue clearly, stop your right to speak on the house elf issue," Zhang Xu said.

"Don't you think it's too barbaric?" Hermione said unconvinced.

"It's not barbaric at all." Zhang Xu shook his head and said, "Since you haven't investigated the actual situation and historical situation of house-elves, and you don't know what's going on, you must be talking nonsense with your eyes closed when you talk about house-elves. If it can’t solve the problem, then why not stop your right to speak?”

"Investigation is to solve the problem." Zhang Xu continued, "Can't you solve the problem of the house elves? Then you should investigate the current situation and history of this problem. There is a solution to the house-elf problem."

"All conclusions come from the end of the investigation situation, not the beginning. Only fools do not conduct investigations by themselves, but just think hard about 'finding a way'. You must know that this is something that can't be thought of. way. In other words, this is bound to produce wrong ways and wrong ideas.”

"So the first thing you have to do is not to directly give clothes to the house elves, but to investigate them, find out what they think, find out their current situation, find out their history, etc. Only if you find out all these, You'll know what to do next."

After Zhang Xu finished speaking, he drank the tea in his cup in one go.

Hermione listened and wrote it down in her notebook.

Then, Zhang Xu started the next content.

"Next, let's talk about how to solve the problem about house elves." Zhang Xu said while pouring tea for himself.

"Liberating the house elves doesn't mean simply giving them a piece of clothing and giving them freedom to complete the task," Zhang Xu said.

"Any weak house elves, no matter how powerful their magic is, can only be used as materials and spectators for a meaningless show. So your first priority is to change their spirits."

"We have an old saying that mud cannot support a wall. If a nation does not have freedom and the will to resist oppression, then the freedom you give them is not real freedom."

"Only when more house elves realize the value of freedom—for example, like Dobby—they will spontaneously rise up to resist, make their own voices, and make their demands."

"There has never been a savior, nor a fairy emperor! To create the happiness of mankind, we all depend on ourselves!"

"More than 120 years ago, the French revolutionaries made this truth known to everyone."

"What you have to do is not to give them freedom like a savior, but to awaken their yearning for freedom in their hearts."

As Zhang Xu went deeper, Hermione realized that what she had done before was really too young and naive.

Some of the most basic problems, before she was pointed out by Zhang Xu, she didn't realize the existence of the problem.
