I, The Scavenger Of The Universe, Found A Chat Group

Hermione raised her head when she heard someone calling her name.

“You are, the transfer student in the fifth grade?”

Because they often met in the library, and because of his identity as a transfer student, Hermione also had an impression of Shi Huang.

But soon Hermione remembered the scene she was in.

She straightened her tearful face and said in a serious tone:”Senior Shi, I have to remind you that this is the women’s bathroom and you shouldn’t come in.”

“Sorry.”

Shi Huang made up an excuse:”I thought Myrtle didn’t go to the ghost party and was crying here.”

“I just happened to have something to ask her, so I came in. I didn’t expect you to be in there.”

Knowing that Shi Huang had a legitimate reason, Hermione’s face was no longer tense, and her expression became softer.

In fact, she was just a little embarrassed because Shi Huang saw her indecent side, so she just found a reason to make trouble.

There was no malice in itself.

Shi Huang expressed his understanding of this.

Any girl would not give a good face to a boy who broke into the bathroom.

It was because Hermione was still young and easily believed Shi Huang’s reason.

“This isn’t a place to talk, and it’s dinner time, do you want to go get something to eat together?” Shi Huang suggested with a smile.

Hermione looked up at Shi Huang’s handsome face and nodded subconsciously.

The handsome guy invited her, and she even threw aside her anger against Ron during the day.

When she came to her senses, Hermione found that she had followed Shi Huang.

The little witch blushed, and in her heart she rebuked herself for being as superficial as those girls in the academy.

However, another voice seemed to emerge in her heart: But he is really handsome! Even his back is so beautiful!

Hermione shook her head, shook off those messy thoughts, and then noticed the surrounding environment

“Um, Senior Shi, this doesn’t seem to be the way to the castle hall, right?”

“Of course.” Shi Huang replied,”If we go to the hall now, we will probably only be able to eat what our classmates have left over, so let’s go to the kitchen and eat something different.”

“Oh, I see.”Hermione nodded in understanding.

Although leftovers can be eaten, and there will be food on the table that has not been eaten.

But since you can have a bite of fresh food, who would choose the former?

But then again, why didn’t she think of going to the Hogwarts kitchen before?

Since she often goes to the library to read, Hermione occasionally misses meals because she is too engrossed in reading.

In this situation, she usually relies on snacks to fill her stomach until the next meal, and she has never thought of going to the kitchen to cook.

After seeing Shi Huang open the kitchen door, Hermione suddenly felt that even if she had that idea before, it would seem difficult to find the entrance to the kitchen.

She didn’t quite understand why a good kitchen was so mysterious?

Entering the kitchen, Shi Huang first greeted some house-elves with familiar faces.

During this period, he occasionally came to the kitchen to cook, and he became more familiar with the house-elves here.

Although they all look similar, the identities of different house-elves can still be distinguished by their clothes.

After saying hello, Shi Huang asked Xing Zhi, who was the most familiar to him,”Xing Zhi, are you busy now?”

Xingzhi replied:”Not busy, Mr. Shihuang.”

The Halloween dinner upstairs has been prepared, and they really have nothing to do.

“In that case, please prepare a hot pot for us.”

It is almost November, and the weather in England is already very cold. Even indoors, you can feel the chill. In this weather, it is best to have a steaming hot pot.

“I’m happy to serve you. Please wait a moment.”

Xingzhi bowed 90 degrees and immediately turned around to get busy.

Shihuang took Hermione and found a place to sit down. Then he introduced her:”They are house-elves. I wonder if you have heard of them.”

Hermione shook her head, her eyes full of curiosity.

At this time, she was not the know-it-all lady in the future. She had only been in school for two months and might have seen the name of house-elves in a book.

But she didn’t know much about this race.

Seeing this, Shihuang gave her a brief overview of what kind of existence house-elves were in the wizarding world.

After listening to this, Hermione was not surprised to rebuke this kind of slavery.

“Howdare……”

Ahem, I made a mistake.

“It’s almost the 21st century, why does the wizarding world still have such a backward system?”

“Well, the system of the wizarding world has always been quite backward, hasn’t it?”

Shi Huang first agreed, and then explained:”But there is a reason why this system exists.”

“You have to know that in ancient times, there were many races of magical creatures that were more powerful than human wizards, and house elves were once one of them.”

“Their magic system is different from that of human wizards, and they can easily master many powerful magics.”

“For example, Hogwarts has a magic that prohibits wizards from using the magic of ‘Apparition’, you know this, right?”

Hermione nodded:”This is mentioned in”Hogwarts: A History of the School.”

Shi Huang continued:”However, house elves can ignore this magic and ‘Apparate’ in and out of Hogwarts at will.”

“Imagine if the house-elves had powerful magic and they had bad intentions towards the students of Hogwarts.”

“What will be the consequences in the end?”

Hermione’s eyes widened. She was still young and couldn’t imagine such a dark picture.

But she was also aware of the seriousness of the problem.

This reminded Hermione of another race – goblins.

They had instigated goblin rebellions many times in history, trying to overthrow the status of human wizards.

Shi Huang continued:”Human wizards have experienced countless wars and conquered countless races before finally standing at the top of the pyramid.”

“As the winner, he naturally has the right to make all the rules.”

Hermione’s heart began to waver:”But is this too cruel to the house-elves? They have been suffering from the unfair treatment of slaves.”

Shi Huang raised his hand and gestured, saying:”There has never been absolute justice in this world.”

“Before you think house-elves are pitiful, have you ever thought about how brutal the war between ancient wizards and magical creatures was?”

“I once heard a saying: We are not qualified to choose forgiveness for our ancestors.”

“Human wizard ancestors went through a war of blood and tears before they domesticated the house elves into what they are today.”

“You can’t go back in history and give them freedom just because you feel sorry for them, right?”

“Moreover, hundreds of years of slavery have made the house elves adapt to the current way of life.”

“Believe it or not, if you tell them now that you want to set them free, at least 99% of the house-elves, if not all of them, will not accept it.”
