Just a Defense Against the Dark Arts Professor

"You actually want Professor Forrester to join your "vomiting" organization?"

When Ron talked about such things, his mouth never stopped stammering, and he stared with an expression of disbelief.

Hermione looked very angry.

"I said, it's not called vomiting! Since none of you are willing to help me promote it, then I will invite others to join me. At least Professor Forrest will not be as prejudiced as you!"

Harry and Ron looked at each other and spread their hands.

"It's not that we're biased," Harry said, "but that we don't see the point of what you're doing."

"Someone will know!" Hermione was extremely determined. "Every independent-thinking creature should not be anyone's slave! Even house elves need respect, and they need to be paid for their work!"

Fleur watched their argument with interest and had no intention of getting involved.

Soon Hermione and Harry and Ron were separated.

Harry and the others planned to visit Hagrid, while Hermione took Fleur to Sherlock's office.

"Do you want to help the house elves fight for their rights?"

After just hearing a few words, Fleur could easily deduce what Hermione wanted to do.

Hermione's eyes suddenly lit up when she heard Fleur's question. Even though she didn't really like this arrogant girl, she still didn't want to give up the opportunity to develop membership.

"Yes, as long as you work, you must be paid, and house elves are not animals. They have their own ideas and are kind and loyal. Why should they be slaves of wizards? We must help them and let them fight for their rights. , even work must be rewarding!”

However, Hermione's passionate speech did not make Fleur feel any sense of recognition, but she shook her head and said.

"If Chikley heard this, he would be so excited that he would poke you with his finger and scold you."

Hermione crossed her arms and looked at Fleur.

"Chakley? Is he your house elf? I actually never understand. Is it possible that the house elf was like this from the beginning? I checked a lot of information, but there is very little about the origin of the house elf. .Only some disgraceful history will be covered up by those who are willing to do so. House elves are obviously like this. No creature is a slave from the beginning. It must be the wizards who once did something to this race."

Only then did Fleur really start to look at Hermione seriously, realizing that she was very different from her peers.

"What you said is not wrong." Fleur raised her head and said, "But what if the means are disgraceful? I remember that you are a fourth-grade student. You have already studied the history of magic, the Goblin Rebellion, and you know how to defeat wizards. They've deprived them of the right to use wands in the future, and if you really feel aggrieved by those injustices, why don't you protest that these goblins can't use wands?"

Hermione already knew at this time that Fleur would never be her ideological companion, and even tried to break her persistence.

"Because those goblins themselves have made mistakes, not allowing them to use wands is to protect wizards and is also their punishment!"

"How do you know that the former house elves did not make mistakes? They have to serve wizards, and this is the punishment they deserve."

Fleur asked, staring at Hermione. She wouldn't mind having a debate with this interesting little girl on the way to Sherlock.

"This is not a punishment at all." Hermione said excitedly, "Slavery is slavery, don't add punishment as an excuse for slavery. Besides, even if a former house elf made a mistake, an entire tribe should not be made a slave!"

"You also have a house elf in your own family. Is he loyal to your family? Is he kind? What mistakes has he made since he was born? Do you want him to serve you for free throughout his life? And what have you done for him?

Fleur was unmoved by her words.

"They do this voluntarily. They are born to serve others, just like wizards are born to use magic."

Hermione sneered.

"Why would a creature who was born to be taught that you will be happy by serving others for free be compared with a wizard who is born with magic? Did someone teach them that labor will be paid when they first become sensible? Someone told them Should every life be free? Someone tells them that wizards and house elves are not superior and inferior, that everyone is equal?"

"They have never been exposed to correct ideas, so how can they be willing to do so? Those of you with vested interests who say you are willing to volunteer will only show your disgust!"

Fleur and Hermione could no longer talk.

The two of them have completely different ideas and concepts, and they can't talk to each other at all.

Fleur was born in a wizarding family and had long been accustomed to the existence of house elves. However, Hermione, who had received modern education since childhood and had a strong sense of justice, could not stand it.

Hermione loved Hogwarts and the colorful magical world, but in a world she loved so much, there were house elves who were so oppressed and enslaved, which made it difficult for her to pretend to be anything. None were seen.

But no one in the castle could accept her idea.

People like Fleur and Ron who come from pure-blood wizarding families will only feel that her ideas are deviant. However, some students who have received modern education like her, like Harry, do not have the same sense of urgency as Hermione and feel that house elves Being enslaved is a big deal.

What's more, every elf they had ever seen showed great joy in working for free, which made Harry think that Hermione's behavior was disturbing their normal lives. I don't understand this either.

But in fact, Hermione was deeper than each of them thought, and there was no one in the entire Hogwarts who could support her and understand her, which made her feel a strong sense of frustration.

So even if it would be a big risk to gain Sherlock's approval and support, she still had to go through it.

She needs recognition now, so that others can tell her that her thoughts are right and just, instead of being just nosy, unreasonable and annoying in the eyes of others.

Among the professors at Hogwarts, only Sherlock could give Hermione a feeling that he would identify with him.

She still remembers the words Sherlock gave her in that empty classroom last year when she and Harry Ron were having trouble.

Hermione was just thinking about one thing right now.

Professor Forrest is an upright, kind and gentle professor. He will tell himself whether what he is doing now makes any sense!
