"I think we should change the plan. At least before the end of this war, as long as the whole world does not change and remains as it is, there is no point in liberating the house-elves." Hermione said suddenly on the way upstairs to the common room.
"You discovered it, too?" "I only found out after talking to them today. After all, I have never had any experience with them before." Hermione raised her eyebrows. "It will take a long time to change the minds of creatures who are accustomed to slavery and are even very satisfied with their current lives. At least we don't have the time and energy to do so in our plan."
"Yes, in addition to the problems of the house-elves themselves, the overall environment is not friendly. House-elves are basically concentrated in the hands of pure-blood families. The Ministry of Magic, which is mainly composed of pure-bloods, will never pass a decree like the emancipation of slaves. Even if it is passed, there will be a lot of problems in law enforcement. We can't liberate the house-elves when they themselves don't want to be free."
At this point Hermione looked at Ryan, paused and then continued: "In addition, these house-elves basically monopolize the service industry or simple manufacturing industry in the wizarding world. Contrary to what I imagined, this did not take away the jobs of Muggle wizards. I just took it for granted at the time." Hermione admitted her previous shortcomings.
"Not only that." Ryan said, "Once you free them, many house elves will lose their jobs. How can they survive? And it would be even worse if free elves entered the market and snatched wizards' jobs, causing serious confrontation."
"That's true. I just found through investigation that most wizarding families do not abuse their house-elves. After all, house-elves are their slaves, which is equivalent to their property. Few idiots will destroy their own property. Therefore, liberating the house-elves is not so urgent. That's why I gave up this part of the plan, because I found that I was wrong at the time. Following that idea would not be good for everyone, including the house-elves." Hermione concluded.
"So, let's focus on increasing our strength now. This is the only thing that determines everything in the wizarding world." Ryan ended the discussion about house-elves with these words.
Although the issue of house elves is somewhat unpleasant, there is also good news these days. For example, from the recent Daily Prophet, we can see that the big-mouthed Rita Skeeter has now focused her attention on the Ministry of Magic and finally let Hogwarts go. Everyone doesn't need to read those made-up eye-catching stories.
Last week in Care of Magical Creatures, Hagrid finished teaching the Golden Snitch, so this week he changed to a new magical creature. When they walked to the playground, everyone was worried that he would show dangerous creatures again in class, especially when they saw Hagrid carrying out several cardboard boxes, because the previous blasting-end skrewts were brought out in such cardboard boxes.
Fortunately, after approaching, Ryan saw that there was a group of furry black guys in the cardboard box. They had long noses and flat front paws like shovels. When everyone looked at them, they also looked at their classmates with their little eyes.
"Sniff!" How could Ryan not recognize this animal? It was the lead actor in the previous life's movie "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them". Needless to say, it was an absolute big star.
"These are Nifflers," said Hagrid as the other students gathered together. "They can usually be seen underground in mines. They like shiny things... Look, look." A Niffler suddenly jumped up and tried to bite Hagrid's pocket watch chain, but Hagrid grabbed it and put it back in the box.
"It is said that Newt Scamander, the author of the book "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them", once raised a litter of Sniffers and helped him a lot during his adventures." Hagrid added some additional information to everyone Knowledge.
After introducing the magical creatures, Hagrid spent the rest of the class asking each of them to take a Niffler and search the turned earth in front of them for 100 leprechaun coins that he had buried earlier.
It was obvious that these sniffers were trained, and after finding something, they would rush to the classmate who released them and spit the gold coins into their hands. They were not like Scamander's sniffers who wanted to put anything shiny into the pocket on their stomachs.
In the end, Ron's Niffler won the championship, and the gold coins it brought back filled Ron's thighs. As a result, it also received a large piece of Honeydukes chocolate from Hagrid as a reward.
In the subsequent Defense Against the Dark Arts class, Ryan was called out to practice with Moody. Fortunately, Ryan managed to hold on for five minutes, except for being a little embarrassed. Naturally, after class, Moody encouraged him to become an Auror after graduation. He was not angry after being rejected, but sincerely invited Ryan to sit in his office more often when he had no classes in the future. He was willing to share his experience as an Auror with Ryan. Moody was indeed a person who truly fought for justice all his life, which was very respectable. But forget about him becoming an Auror. After all, Ryan didn't think he was the kind of person who was willing to dedicate his life to the cause of justice.
Since Voldemort came back, Headmaster Dumbledore often disappeared from the school, and his old friend Moody also appeared and disappeared with him. In the past month, Moody has changed classes two or three times. The only good news is that from the expressions of the two people, their progress has been very good recently.
A week before Halloween, Ryan inexplicably received a note from Dumbledore while reading in the library, asking him to go to the principal's office on Saturday, with a password attached: Zizi Honey Candy.
"What does the headmaster want to see you for?" Hermione frowned. As someone who knew about Voldemort's resurrection, she felt that Dumbledore must have something to do with Ryan this time. She was a little worried about Ryan's safety.
"Don't worry." Ryan took Hermione's hand and patted it to comfort her. "Even if something happens, we will go with Headmaster Dumbledore. In this case, even if there is danger, Professor Dumbledore will be there to block it."
On Saturday morning, after finishing practice and having lunch, Ryan came to the principal's office at the appointed time. When he stepped onto the stairs, he found that in addition to Principal Dumbledore, there was also Professor Moody. The two were sitting across the desk drinking tea, and from their appearance, they looked very relaxed.
"Principal Dumbledore, what can I do for you?" Ryan asked after walking into the office.
"We have discovered something and now we need your help," Dumbledore said to Ryan.
"But I'm just a student! How can I help you?" Ryan was confused when he heard this request, because he didn't think he could solve a problem that two old men who were almost two hundred years old in total couldn't solve.
"Hey, don't say that. On the one hand, some of the suggestions you made last time were very good, so I hope to listen to your suggestions. On the other hand, we need an alchemist, but there are too few people who know alchemy now. In order to ensure that the news of Voldemort's resurrection does not leak out, this person must be reliable and inconspicuous, so we chose you."
"Also, he wants to tie all the people with potential to himself to avoid any adverse factors in his plan." Ryan complained in his heart. After all, it is not normal for a Muggle student who has no one to rely on in the magic world to master alchemy, so it is inevitable that he will become the focus of attention.
Fortunately, there are still some cases in the wizarding world where people occasionally make great achievements in some areas after encountering a strange encounter. Professor Dumbledore did not have much doubt about alchemy, a neutral subject. In particular, Ryan, as a Muggle-born wizard, ruled out the possibility that he was involved with Voldemort. So although Dumbledore wanted to win over Ryan, at least it was for friendly purposes.
In short, Dumbledore's impression of Ryan is that he is a scholar, but he also has the passion of a teenager, such as participating in the Triwizard Tournament this time. As a teacher, he needs to provide some guidance to prevent Ryan from going astray. Ryan naturally hopes that the headmaster can maintain this understanding.
Thinking of this, Ryan said to Dumbledore: "I'm glad to be of help to you, so please just give me your orders."
