Harry Potter’s Defense Professor

Hermione took out a box at this time. Although Lockhart had already seen the plot, he still didn't need to react immediately, "Vomit? What do you mean, Hermione."

"It's not vomiting, it's S.P.E.W, the House Elf Rights Promotion Association." Hermione seemed to be numb to the explanation.

"Professor, if you are willing to join, then the popularity of this association will be greatly improved." Hermione looked at Lockhart expectantly.

Lockhart was really annoyed. When I was reading the original book, I thought Hermione was cute at this point, but it gave Lockhart a headache and rubbed his eyebrows: "Hermione, don't make trouble, I have a little boy at home. Elf, I don't think he can't be without him at all. You have studied history, the elves have their status today after they lost the war with wizards, and it is a gift to not exterminate them."

"Among the thousands of years of wizards, house-elves can be said to have always been wizard property and slaves. They're so used to their identity that they won't thank you for what you do."

"But Professor, haven't you considered their feelings? They have no personal freedom! No vacations! No life and health! Old age! Shouldn't we do something to them? They don't even have clothes!" Looking at Lockhart with a look of disbelief, as if a little strange.

Lockhart was helpless, and summoned his own elf, "Jim, this lady has some opinions on elf, you can talk to her."

"This beautiful lady, do you need anything? Jim is delighted to serve the master's friend!"

"Uh...Jim, don't you want better treatment or freedom?" Hermione asked cautiously.

Jim's expression immediately changed to horror, as if Hermione was some kind of wild beast, and hid behind Lockhart, "Master, this bad woman, wants Jim to do bad things! Jim will not betray Master!"

Lockhart waved Jim away without waiting for Jim to continue to show his loyalty, and Harry and Ron seemed to be laughing happily beside him.

"Understood, Hermione. The concept of elves won't change just because you really like them." Lockhart said earnestly, "If you really want to, maybe you can spread some kindness to elves through public opinion. the idea that people's situation will only change when they accept the idea that being kind to house-elves is a moral, noble gesture."

Lockhart continued: "At that time, if you propose that the elves should have benefits, there will be no such resistance."

"Sounds reasonable, Professor, I see." Hermione pondered for a while, then happily ran away.

"My God, Professor, you're so cool, Hermione is annoying us to death, you coaxed her away with a few words." Ron seemed to admire Lockhart a little too.

"Okay, take away the trash, I'll continue watching here." Lockhart didn't want to continue talking nonsense, watching the Goblet of Fire was serious business.

"Professor, you are superfluous, who would think of such a stupid way to harm Harry." Ron disagreed.
