Witcher at Hogwarts

Hermione blushed deeply, but Ron was still a little dizzy due to the influence of the Yaksi Sign, and was helped by Harry to sit on the sofa.

Ethan first expressed warm congratulations to Hermione for successfully mastering the seal. Hermione's ears were a little red with joy. Harry knew that Hermione would only be like this when she was extremely happy.

Ron, on the other hand, was still looking ahead blankly, seemingly not yet freed from the influence of the Yaksi Seal.

Ethan asked Pippi to get a large cup of hot chocolate for Ron, who was still in a daze.

Hermione looked at this strange-looking house elf curiously. She had never seen such a creature before.

Pippi walked towards Ron with a big cup of hot chocolate milk, but Ron was still sitting on the sofa without any sign of picking it up. Upon seeing this, Hermione quickly walked over and took the cup from Pippi and handed it to Ron. kindness.

Perhaps it was the sweet smell of chocolate milk that stimulated Ron. Ron finally reacted to the hot chocolate milk. He picked up the cup and drank the entire cup of chocolate milk.

The chocolate milk finally brought Ron back to his senses. He looked around blankly, "What happened just now? Did I take a nap?" Ron said doubtfully as he licked the foam from the corner of his mouth.

"It's nothing, it's just that my seal was cast successfully." Hermione's face turned red.

"That's great, congratulations." Ron showed a silly smile.

This made Hermione even more embarrassed. In order to change the subject, she had to ask Ethan about Pippi.

"Professor Ethan, who was that gentleman just now?"

"That's the house elf Pippi. He often comes to take care of my daily life." Ethan explained to Hermione with a smile.

Now Hermione was even more confused, "Do you mean he lives in Hogwarts? I have never seen him before."

"Good elves will try their best to downplay their existence and not appear in front of their masters, so it's normal for you not to see them." Ron interjected. He finally felt that some of his knowledge surpassed Hermione's, so he hurriedly took the Come out and start showing off.

"Master?" Hermione's eyes widened when she heard the word, "What do you mean by master? Are they slaves?" Hermione opened her mouth in surprise and asked in confusion.

"Of course, it has always been like this. House elves serve wizards. As far as I know, there are many kitchens in our school. They cook the meals we eat every day." Ron sat down On the sofa, I scratched my belly nonchalantly.

"So the food we eat has always been the product of slave labor?" Hermione screamed. She couldn't imagine that slaves still existed in this era. This completely subverted her worldview.

"Do they get paid? Do they get holidays?" Hermione asked eagerly.

"Of course not. I'm pretty sure they don't need these things." Ron said casually, which inadvertently touched Hermione's back.

"How can you be sure! You're not a house elf!" Hermione shouted in a high-pitched voice.

Ron was startled by Hermione and quickly raised his hand, "Okay, okay, I was wrong, I was wrong."

Hermione completely ignored that she was in Ethan's office. She bit her finger and walked around the office anxiously.

"This is very unreasonable! House elves are treated very unfairly! They are completely slaves!" Hermione said to the three people in the office.

"Does Professor Dumbledore know about this?" Hermione asked with her last hope.

"I think he knows." Ethan's words broke Hermione's last fantasy. "The relationship between house elves and wizards has been like this a long time ago. I don't think even Dumbledore can change this situation."

Hermione sat on the chair in frustration, her eyes were a little red, the house elf incident had given her a great shock, and the joy she had just received from Ethan's praise had long since disappeared.

This left Ron a little confused. Having lived in the wizarding world since he was a child, he really couldn't understand Hermione's current mood.

Silly Potter didn't know what to say. He just didn't understand why the three of them were here to inquire about Professor Ethan's newspaper. Why would they now inexplicably discuss the freedom of house elves?

"Don't be sad, Hermione. If you find something wrong, you can still correct it with your own efforts. I believe that as long as you work hard, more and more people will agree with this point of view." Ethan comforted Hermione. .

Hearing that Hermione's eyes lit up quickly, Hermione's low mood just now was ultimately the feeling of powerlessness caused by the sudden blow.

Now that Ethan had pointed out the goal of her struggle, Hermione quickly became inspired.

He even immediately began to think of specific ways to "rescue" the house elves.

Hermione, who was thinking about the future, suddenly felt someone poking her back. When she turned around, she realized that Harry was winking at her.

Hermione was a little confused at first, but soon realized that she was here with "business".

Hermione rolled her eyes and said, "Professor Ethan, we read today's Daily Prophet, and it contains a lot of negative news about you."

"The reporter from the Daily Prophet is very good at playing with words." Speaking of this, Ethan frowned slightly. Although he didn't say anything, Rita Skeeter cleverly used words to completely misunderstand. The essence of the matter.

"So what happened last night, Professor Ethan." Harry was so curious that he couldn't help but ask.

"There's no big problem." Ethan curled his lips, "The dark wizard in Knockturn Alley tried to kidnap an Auror. After I rescued the Auror, I had some minor friction with them. That's what happened."

Hermione shrank her head. Judging from the photo, it didn't really look like a small friction.

Ron and Harry kept nodding after hearing this. Ron had already become a big fan of Professor Ethan. In fact, no matter how Ethan explained this matter, Ron would believe it.

Seeing that Ethan was not going to tell the truth, Hermione couldn't continue to ask, "Then Professor Ethan, let's take our leave first." Hermione stood up and said goodbye politely to Ethan, and took Harry and Ron with her. En left Ethan's office.

"Have you seen the pile of gold coins on Professor Ethan's desk? It's really cool." Ron couldn't wait to sigh as soon as he left Ethan's office.

"Could it be that Professor Ethan and Snape went to rob Diagon Alley yesterday?" Harry speculated wildly.

Hermione and Ron rolled their eyes almost at the same time when they heard this: "Oh my god Harry, Professor Ethan is a professor at Hogwarts, there is absolutely no way he would do this!"

After the two talked about it, Harry also felt that his guess was a bit ridiculous and quickly stuck out his tongue.

"I probably already know where the money came from." Hermione said confidently.

"How did you come here?" Harry and Ron looked at Hermione curiously.

"I have read in books that the venom of Acromantulas is very valuable. Professor Ethan killed many Acromantulas before, so he must have sold all the venom." Hermione analyzed plausibly.

Ron's eyes showed incomparable longing. There were many Weasley children, and as a child caught in the middle, he never had enough pocket money.

Now that he knew that being a witcher was such a lucrative profession, Ron suddenly wanted to become a witcher.
