The Magical Principles of Natural Philosophy at Hogwarts

Brother La’s classmate fell straight down.

It's tragic to say that ever since Erwin asked for his powerful Oblivion Curse technique from Lockhart, he used it on Malfoy twice in a row.

After all, the little wizard's magic power is very weak and his soul is not strong, so it is not difficult to modify his memory. This time, just erase the memory of Malfoy for more than ten minutes, and no modification is required, so it should not be like

Last time it caused a storm.

Erwin turned to look at Dobby, "How does it feel to be free?"

Dobby looked at him timidly and didn't reply.

Logically speaking, he should be grateful to the young man in front of him, but he felt afraid.

This may be because of the other party's overly decisive behavior.

"You are no longer loyal to the Malfoy family. Now you should be able to tell me what you know about this family? Even if it is just for... revenge?" Erwin asked again.

He was indeed a little surprised by this house elf's attitude, but he didn't really care. He didn't need this little thing to be grateful to him.

Dobby nodded.

"Very good." Erwin looked at the cookies and pancake pan again, "Can you please take him back to the kitchen? I'll be there later."

Pancake Pan hesitated to speak, but Cookie glared at him to signal him to stop talking nonsense.

With a snap, the three house elves apparated away.

"Is it over like this? This gifting process is too outrageous," Melanie said.

She has merit. Without her help, Erwin would not be able to think of a way to let Brother Yan come alone. Although he is young and has little knowledge, Brother Yan is still very cautious. He took the initiative to find Erwin last time.

Irvine was in trouble, so he also hired a seventh-grade prefect as a thug to ensure nothing went wrong.

So Erwin doesn't mind chatting more with Melanie now, "Outrageous? It doesn't count, because there is no substantial power to force Dobby to be a slave. He is free, but before he didn't

He thinks he is free, and only after going through such a formal process can he feel that he has gained 'freedom'."

"This is a bit convoluted."

"Are you going around it? Magic is idealism, and the world changes due to will." Erwin shrugged, "What Dobby needs to get rid of is just the shackles of cognition."

"Does that mean that all house elves can get rid of their status as slaves in this way? Their magical abilities are generally stronger than ordinary wizards. Will there be an elf rebellion by then?" Melanie said, with a smile on her face.

Bringing up a bit of a bad smile.

As a vampire, she is of course afraid of chaos in the world.

"Slaves who are suffering from hunger and cold, and elves who are unwilling to suffer?" Erwin answered in an operatic accent, then shook his head, "Unfortunately, the possibility of this happening is very slim."

"Didn't you say that there is no coercive force forcing house elves to become slaves?" Melanie tilted her head.

"First of all, I'm just saying that this is the case with Dobby. I'm not sure if the other house elves are affected by some kind of curse or contract." Erwin said very slowly, "Secondly, even if there is really no kind of coercion,

Even with the strength of the house elves, it is impossible for a house elf to gather a crowd to rebel."

He began to pace, "If you get in touch with the elves in the kitchen, you will realize that they are a pure slave race, proud of labor and service, and ashamed of betraying their masters. Freedom is the thing they fear most.

Dobby is just a special case, the kind of morally corrupt individual that occasionally appears in a tribe. If it were not for the name of the principal, there is no way that cookies and pancakes could have helped me make him betray his master."

He paused, "So I think the people who cultivated the species of house elves are really clever. The power of the curse will fade over time, and there are loopholes in the soul contract, and it is difficult to pass it on to the next generation. Only the soul

Shackles, strong, stable and efficient."

He slowly walked to the door, "Speaking of freedom, what is the definition of freedom? Is it the ability to do what you want? Since house elves volunteer to serve wizards and get happiness from it, liberate them in the name of freedom.

Doesn’t it itself violate the concept of freedom?”

Melanie curled her lips in disdain. Just as she was about to find a loophole in this sophistry, Erwin suddenly opened the door. Standing at the door was a stunned and completely unresponsive blonde.

girl.

"Eavesdropping is not a good habit, Miss Luna Lovegood. Have you ever heard the saying, curiosity will kill the cat?"

Erwin kept a polite smile, but the wand was already pointed at the other party, and a push that was not too violent but not gentle was generated, pushing Luna into the classroom, and the door was immediately closed.

The Marauder's Map has been spread out on the table. Erwin intended to use it to observe whether there were other people approaching the vacant classroom to ensure that the plan for Brother Yan was secret enough and no accidents would happen. And his

Some pre-arrangements had an effect. Just now, he noticed that the dot representing Luna Lovegood was outside the classroom.

She must have passed by on the way, because Erwin didn't see her name before he attacked Malfoy, and he didn't know whether she was lucky or unlucky.

Erwin deliberately talked so much about house elves to attract this eavesdropper.

Luna was fixed to a chair by the force that she could not break free from. Erwin maintained the direction given by the kinetic energy with his left hand and pointed the wand at her with his right hand. This girl's facial features were very strange, but when combined together, they turned out to be surprisingly strong.

Pleasant to the eyes.

The blue and bronze badges on her school uniform are from Ravenclaw House.

Luna, who was in a controlled state, was still calm, "I didn't eavesdrop on purpose, please don't use the Forgetting Curse on me." She said quickly and loudly.

"You actually know that I can use the Forgetting Curse?" Erwin pretended to be helpless and shook his head, "Then I really have to use the Forgetting Curse on you."

Luna's face froze.

Melanie on the side burst out laughing.

Erwin's eyes shifted to the little girl's busty chest. There was nothing special about it. He was looking at a brooch with some magic letters engraved on it.

With a thought, the clasp of the brooch was untied and flew into Erwin's hand.

With Erwin's current level of magic writing, it only takes a few simple steps to identify its effect. This brooch is of course a magic item, but its function is very simple, and it only holds a low-level detection spell.

Just enough to break the silencing spell Erwin placed in this classroom.

What a coincidence.
