Chapter 157 The Argument with Hermione
·
Yi Yang Shi Ming Yue
The three of them walked all the way to the outside of the castle, and the treetops of the Forbidden Forest could be seen in the distance.
"So you still want to persuade me not to liberate the elves?" Hermione's tone was a little blunt, she questioned Eli, even though she had encountered opposition from Ron and Draco before, she did not do too much explain.
"No, can you listen to me first?" Eli was very cautious. He knew that Hermione had always been stubborn, and she had always had her own thoughts. Sensitive girl.
"Okay, you say," Hermione just stared into Eli's eyes.
Harry didn't know how to interrupt, and he knew that this was definitely not his time to talk.
After organizing his words well, Eli could only ask for his own words to be gentle enough. He also responded to Hermione's eyes very gently, "First of all, I support your idea of liberating elves."
Having said that, Hermione's eyes softened immediately.
Seeing the initial results, Eli continued, "However, you know, no matter what you do, you must pay attention to the method. If the method is wrong, it will backfire."
"But no matter what, someone has to stand up and form this organization!"
"I know, I know." Eli held Hermione's shoulders, "Yes, there must always be someone who stands up and speaks for the elves, but first of all, this person must be accepted by the elves."
Hermione seemed to have heard a very absurd thing, she sneered and turned her head away, "How could the elves not support me? I'm improving their status!"
"Yeah, raising your status is ultimately a good thing for them and they'll always support you"
"But maybe you don't know much about elves, they...let's just say they're terrified of accepting a salary, and if suddenly someone says they're going to be set free, they'll just think they've been abandoned"
"It's ridiculous. There are people in this world who are afraid of freedom. Eli, why do you think like those people? Don't tell me...you also have prejudice against these people?"
Hermione's eyes became intense, and then suddenly softened, and Eli could see some crystals swirling in her eye sockets.
Eli was suddenly at a loss. He knew that what Hermione was most afraid of was people's prejudice against her.
She was afraid that she would be ridiculed if she was inferior to others, so she studied desperately.
When Ron said she was meddling in Charms class, she hid in the bathroom alone and cried.
After hearing that "Mudblood" was a discriminatory term for Muggle-born wizards, she fell silent for a long time.
The reason why she is so impulsive to fight for the rights of the elves is because the elves are also discriminated against. Because they have been discriminated against, she doesn't want to see others being discriminated against again.
"Don't you also think that some races and species don't deserve status?" Hermione's voice trembled a little, and she didn't know why she was so excited all of a sudden, but when she saw Eli who was about to persuade her, she couldn't help it. Curb your emotions.
"No, you know, I definitely didn't mean that!" Eli's voice raised a lot, he was a little anxious, and he was a little afraid that Hermione might misunderstand him.
At this moment he might finally understand Snape's pain.
Snape, who loves Lily deeply, impulsively said the vicious word "Mudblood" to her. Since then, he and his beloved have passed each other forever. When he turned around, life and death were separated forever; It is eternal perdition.
"I was the one who saved you from the troll, and I was the one who saved you from Voldemort! If there is anyone who discriminates against you, it's definitely not me!"
Eli stared sharply at Hermione's eyes, even looking a little vicious.
"I...", Hermione understood, she was a little impulsive.
"We're just talking about elves, that's all, don't think too much, okay?" Eli's voice was softer than ever.
Hermione nodded with tears in her eyes and sobbed a few times.
Harry didn't know how far back to go.
Seeing that Hermione calmed down a bit, Eli continued, "Indeed, most people discriminate against elves, or dismiss them at all, but I have come into contact with elves, and they are indeed so, if Give them freedom rashly, and they will be afraid"
"Have you ever had contact with them? Have you also... hired house elves as servants?"
"Do you still remember my potion shop? Although it has not been opened recently, I still employ a group of elves. All the employees in my factory are elves, and I pay them wages."
Hermione's eyes lit up immediately, "You mean, they accepted the salary?"
"Of course, but they are a special group of elves. Some of them have been hidden for generations, and some were driven out by wizard families. Therefore, compared to other elves, they are more... free"
"They must not be the only ones, at least if there are elves who are willing to get paid, then so will the other elves!"
Hermione went wild again.
Seeing that the witch became impulsive again, Eli couldn't laugh or cry, "Yes, they will accept it one day, but it will never be a matter of a day or two. Think about it, when the elves start to fight for their own status, the magic world It’s so big, will the wizards have to give up some resources? Will there be some wizards who are unwilling to give up? Have you ever thought about how to solve these problems?”
"I think you probably shouldn't be rushing to push these propaganda right now"
"But there are always people who do these things! If they don't even do it, how will the status of elves begin to change?"
"But no one supports you now, not even the elf, it's not the time to do it now"
"Even you don't support it?"
Hermione just said this sentence lightly, but it made Eli lose his sense of control.
"I...", facing Hermione's eyes, Eli didn't know how to explain for a moment.
"I don't want your support!" Hermione suddenly shouted excitedly at Eli, then turned and ran away. At the corner, she finally couldn't help wiping away her tears.
"Heh...", Eli froze in place, he suddenly regretted that these words shouldn't have come out of his mouth!
"Eli, Hermione?"
Harry ran over from nowhere, and looked in the direction Hermione ran away puzzled.
"I just... oh...", a strong sense of loss made Eli extremely tired.
Harry wanted to comfort him, but he didn't know how to say it, so he could only pat Eli on the shoulder. At this moment, he finally looked like an older brother.
"So you still want to persuade me not to liberate the elves?" Hermione's tone was a little blunt, she questioned Eli, even though she had encountered opposition from Ron and Draco before, she did not do too much explain.
"No, can you listen to me first?" Eli was very cautious. He knew that Hermione had always been stubborn, and she had always had her own thoughts. Sensitive girl.
