But Hermione was undoubtedly intrigued by Dobby.

"Since when did you start to feel that the master's words are not necessarily to be absolutely obeyed by you, and that you should sometimes make decisions for your own life?"

Dobby was a little stranger to Hermione, but because she was Harry's friend, he didn't refuse to communicate.

"Dobby's old master treats Dobby very badly. As long as he is not happy, Dobby will punish him." When he said this, Dobby's eyes were full of fear, "Sometimes Dobby is clearly right. , but punish yourself, because that's the only way to make the old master happy."

"At that time Dobby was thinking, why Dobby is doing this even though he is not wrong, the master Dobby serves, he, he... is an evil bad wizard!"

He seemed to have exhausted all his strength before saying this sentence, and then he seemed to be unable to control himself, banging his big head on the table frantically.

"Bad Dobby! Bad Dobby!"

Fortunately, Hermione pulled him directly, preventing him from self-harm.

"Thank you, Harry's friend." Dobby breathed heavily. "Dobby still needs practice, he still needs practice."

And after hearing his words, Winky screamed immediately, she was furious.

"You should be ashamed of yourself! Not a practice! Dobby! You commented on your master like that!"

"He's not my master anymore!" Dobby said in disbelief, "Dobby doesn't have a master now, he's just working for Dumbledore!"

"You're a bad elf." Winky whimpered, with tears in her eyes, "I can't imagine how Mr. Crouch would live without me, the mistress is long gone, and he has no one to take care of him, Alone at home and lonely, woo woo woo..."

Hermione looked thoughtful at Winky's current state. She didn't say anything bad about Crouch in front of her, but asked tentatively.

"Can I know, how did you live when you were young? Did you receive education?"

But Winky was already in deep sadness. She didn't answer Hermione's question, but Dobby, who was on the side, said.

"Elves don't have their own schools. We are generally educated by our parents after we are born, and we don't need to study the magic of elves. Basically, as long as we reach the age, we will learn it naturally."

In front of Dobby, Hermione didn't have to be so careful.

"So what did your parents teach you?"

Dobby recalled.

"They would teach me how to better serve the owner's family, my mom taught me her cooking skills, my dad taught me how to better garden, and they would tell me how to To make the master happy, what are the taboos of the elf."

"They just gave you this?" Hermione's eyes were filled with pity, but she didn't show it.

"Otherwise, what else could there be?" Dobby didn't feel how pitiful he was. "Their lifelong ideal is that after their death, the master will cut off their heads and hang them on the wall to show, that is a small The highest glory of elves, and in the end, they did get their wish, compared to many, they are all elves that are very popular with their owners."

"If Dobby had your own child in the future, would you still educate him like this?" Hermione asked cautiously.

It seemed that Dobby had never thought about something so far-reaching, but after Hermione asked, he hesitated for a moment, and finally shook his big head.

"Dobby will tell his children the benefits of freedom! Pixies don't have to be slaves to any wizard! We love to work, but also to get paid! It's...this is... ."

He struggled for a long time and didn't say what the reason was, but Hermione added this sentence to him with a serious face. Valley

"This is the power of every intelligent life!"

Dobby looked happy.

"You're right, I remember your name, Hermione, this is the power of intelligent life!"

Dobby chatted with them a lot later, and he was excitedly talking about how he planned to spend the wages he earned.

He puffed out his bare chest and said he was going to buy himself a jumper.

Although Ron was not interested in Hermione's previous so-called liberation of house-elves, he liked Dobby's assertive elf very much.

He offered to give Dobby the sweater his mother knitted him, and Mrs. Weasley knitted a new one for her children every Christmas.

Dobby was pretty happy, saying that when he said he could make Ron's sweater a little smaller so it would fit his size.

They chatted for two hours before Harry and the three finally got out of the kitchen to leave.

The house-elves enthusiastically stuffed their pockets with all kinds of snacks, and curtseyed respectfully to send them away.

Before leaving, Hermione took one last deep look at the elves, and Dobby, who was happily returning to work.

"I don't need to think about how to free these house-elves anymore."

Both Ron and Harry looked at her in shock.

"You figured it out?"

"You finally see that these little elves like to work?"

Hermione shook her head, a relaxed smile on her face.

"Because they don't need me, I am a wizard and a vested interest served by them. From the wizard level, to help them obtain equal status, even if they succeed in the end, it is not firm."

"To gain real respect and equality requires their own internal efforts. Only freedom obtained from the bottom up is true freedom, and some of them have already had this idea."

"Dobby~lightnovelpub.net~ He is the first, but definitely not the last, his awakened thoughts will affect his descendants, and his descendants will affect more elves, with him The presence of elves is more important than the existence of wizards like me."

Harry and Ron looked at each other, Hermione said a long speech, but they didn't understand it.

However, neither of them went into the meaning of these words. Anyway, as long as Hermione didn't insist on bringing the elf to rebel, such a ridiculous idea, it would be a good thing for them.

The three of them walked into the corridor of the castle, and when they were returning to the Gryffindor lounge, they suddenly realized that it was snowing heavily outside the castle.

"Hey, it turns out it's almost Christmas!" Ron said excitedly.

Harry shrugged.

"I'm curious how we will spend Christmas this year."
