Chapter 384 The Song of SEPW! !
After the badge glowed for a second or two, a singing voice of Hermione and McGuffin came from inside the badge,
'House-elf! '
'House-elf! '
'They are obscurity, hard work! '(female)
'House-elf! '
'House-elf! '
'They're only in the kitchen, nowhere! '(male)
'No vacation, no salary! '
'Can't do this, can't do this! '
'We're not in the Middle Ages, we're not dark wizards! '
'Something has to change...'
'come on! '
'Join us! '
'SPEW! ' (McGuffin and Hermione singing loudly together from inside)
'...'
Although they were in a corner of the common room, such a 'powerful' display of 'commercial singing' immediately attracted other people's attention here.
Harry and Ron were petrified on the spot, and their heads were probably completely broken.
The MacGuffin began to slowly move the book up to cover his own face,
The badge on the chest is still flashing green light, like a Muggle bar and karaoke hall,
The piece continues with the final melody:
'SPEW! (tenor)'
'SPEW! (soprano)'
'Welcome to the House-Elf Rights Association! (chorus)'
Harry wondered how Ron felt next to him.
There are only two thoughts in his mind now,
Hermione Granger, she's gone mad at last!
——and why he himself ran away before he even started.
When Harry regained control of his body from the stupefied state, it was already too late.
They have been surrounded.
That song has started playing a second time in the common room, and it doesn't stop there.
The twenty or so badges in the box shone with colorful light, and they also began to catch everyone's ears, singing the song of 'SPE-W' loudly.
The voices overlapped and mixed with the noise of the people who gathered around to watch the excitement.
It left Harry and Ron completely bewildered.
They turned to look back at Hermione McGuffin and the others.
McGuffin had already sat at the corner of the table, covering his face with a book and pretending not to know them. Unfortunately, he forgot that the green badge on his chest was still shining and sang the song for the second time.
It can be seen that this guy is about to be driven crazy by Hermione.
This guy Hermione was obviously very satisfied with this publicity strategy, she hurriedly circled around and handed out the magic leaflet she made at some time to everyone who came close.
——On the dark green leaflet, the words 'SPE-W' are written in exquisite patterned fonts, and the fonts on it are constantly floating and shining like waves, introducing the organizational structure, vision and direction of the House-Elf Rights Promotion Association.
However, it is clear that everyone is more interested in the joke in front of them.
Locked away in the castle for days, everyone desperately needed a little fun to relax... Harry and Ron were no exception.
But when you're part of the fun, it's not fun.
Harry was even willing to hand over half of the gold in his Gringotts in exchange for him immediately turning into air and disappearing in place.
It's a pity that there is no such magic.
All he could do was put up with Fred and George singing the 'SPE-W' song at the top of their lungs while pretending to be okay and laughing with everyone.
"Why such a mess?" A familiar voice came from behind the crowd, and Percy Weasley finally arrived.
It's a pity that even he can't stop everyone from getting together to watch jokes.
Some people yelled and shouted with joy, and the applause continued.
The only consolation for Harry and Ron was that it was in the Gryffindor common room, so he wouldn't have to endure the on-the-spot taunts from DeLS Malfoy's Slytherin snakes.
Although it is estimated that this farce will soon spread throughout Hogwarts.
And McGuffin was even more unlucky, the guy who was the propaganda minister of 'SPE-W' (I don't know what's in Hermione's hands) had to move the book away from his face under Hermione's yelling, and very reluctantly pulled out two distorted smiles, facing the little wizards in the lower grades, performing his duties amidst the extremely shameful soundtrack.
Passed those leaflets to them, and continued to publicize the outline and goal vision of this newly established society according to Hermione's instructions.
Percy Weasley did his best to disperse the crowd, but it was better than nothing.
Little wizards desperately need a good time right now.
Even under the influence of McGuffin, many first-year little wizards actually handed over two Sigrams and took the badge from the box.
(Don't know what they're thinking, or... thinking it's a ticket to some kind of comedy show)
Fred and George, and Lee Jordan also paid the money with a smile on their faces, and got the badge,
However, according to McGuffin's conjecture, these guys probably saw the potential for mischief in this thing and bought it.
After a long time, the crowd dispersed slowly under Percy's urging.
Hermione happily counted the silver Sickles in the box and the few remaining badges.
"Hermione, you shouldn't be like this, the exam is coming soon, you should focus on your studies...I always think you are a very ambitious person, so many courses and homework...you should concentrate on more valuable things!"
Percy persuaded Hermione.
"That's an extremely valuable thing, working for the underdog -- that's what we should be doing."
"I did this because I didn't have enough time. As McGuffin said, although this is ridiculous, it can attract the attention of other people the most. Now what we 'SPE-W' need most is attention."
"Just such an event can attract the attention of most people in the shortest possible time. No matter what, at least they have heard of 'SPE-W' now. If anyone is interested in this or has sympathy for house elves, they will naturally join our club."
Hermione nodded proudly.
"McGuffin!" Harry punched the MacGuffin next to him in disbelief, and questioned the guy with a straight face.
Although he knew that Albert was a little crazy, he really didn't expect this guy to have such a self-destructive impulse.
However, McGuffin looked like he couldn't look back on the past.
He held his head regretfully and said:
"Hermione, I just proposed to add some light to the badge to attract the little wizard's attention! But why did you insist on pulling me to record the singing voice together, and the lyrics... Who gave you this idea!"
"Hmm! When I heard Ron singing the song 'I made money, I made money' - the song of Gallon, I suddenly figured it out."
"Only dramatic and interesting songs can attract people's attention to the maximum. That little light is not enough... As for the song, Ginny and her friend Luna wrote it for me for free after hearing what I was going to do. I felt good after listening to it, so I adopted it, and then I pulled you to sing together."
Hermione said, "But seriously, Percy, Ron, your sister Ginny's writing is really good, she's got a talent for it!"
Hearing Hermione's praise, Ginny Weasley, who was hiding on the desk not far away and secretly listening to the conversation of several people, slowly turned red. Finally, she could only rest her arms on the desk, and then buried her head in it, lowering her head not to look at them.
"By the way, Harry, it was the warm welcome you received from the house-elves in the Hogwarts kitchen that got me thinking about this trick."
"—Put the club's first recruiting display in a public place, so that the justice of our establishment of this club can be passed on to the students to the greatest extent..."
Hermione was chattering, and the McGuffins looked at each other.
All of this today is like an old saying goes:
——In an avalanche, no snowflake is innocent.
Afterwards, Hermione shook the silver Sickle in the box with joy,
rattle rattle,
She put them into a palm-sized purple velvet cloth bag with a silver chain hanging from the mouth.
Then he grabbed Ron and the others who couldn't stay here any longer and wanted to sneak away.
"Hold still! My treasurer!"
"Let me go!" Ron roared in a low voice, and finally took the cloth bag into his hands helplessly.
"Okay, everyone, sign up and register as full members."
The good start of the 'play' just made Hermione's emotions even higher. She found a copy of the parchment man from nowhere, and asked all the little wizards who took the badges to sign and become full members of the 'House Elf Promotion Association', and even asked them to pin the 'vomit' badge on their chests.
Even without thinking about it, she knew that her attempt was extremely unsuccessful.
People love the badge for entertainment, but don't make themselves part of it.
"Percy, you should get one too! As the male student president, you should lead by example and stand on the side of justice. Come and pin this badge next to your male student president badge."
Hermione's tone was as light as asking Percy to have an ice cream.
Percy's face turned green.
"I... I, by the way, Professor McGonagall has something to do with me. Does anyone of you know where the magic candies that the little wizard bought privately came from? I thought it was George and Fred who made it, but after monitoring them for a few days, I didn't find any clues. If you have any news, please let me know..."
Percy said those words, and then hurried away from Hermione.
(Ron heard this, and almost took the 'vomit' badge to his chest in order to find something to do to cover up his panic)
After a long time, when everyone calmed down and started busying with their homework again, Harry and the others finally understood why McGuffin helped Hermione organize this 'SPE-W' event despite his reluctance.
"Hermione, did you really find out about the origin of the house-elves from Professor McGonagall?" McGuffin asked Hermione.
"Oh, it's true. Since you helped me to accomplish this, I'll tell you about it as previously agreed! Actually, this won't really change the situation of the house-elves..." Hermione said.
Then, in Hermione's narration, the history of the house elves was slowly told.
-The first house-elves were born towards the end of the Roman era.
It is said that it was because of the continuous wars between various races and wizarding groups at that time that the ancient wizards at that time were eager to find an extremely cheap magic soldier.
Such soldiers have several common requirements:
One is that it is cheap and has a large population, and the other is that it has a certain combat power. It can use some special magic, but it cannot be so strong that it is dangerous to the existence of human wizards.
"Finally, some simple wisdom is needed. It is said that the stupidity of trolls and troll legions really made the wizard commanders at that time unbearable."
"In this way, only the Irish long-eared goblins living in the forests of northern Ireland's hills best met the requirements of the time. So they finally started the magic taming that lasted half a century..."
"Irish long-eared goblin... what does that have to do with Irish leprechauns?" McGuffin asked hastily when he noticed something wrong.
"The relationship between sheep and horses... maybe that's what it is," said Hermione uncertainly.
"When the wizards tamed a large number of Irish long-eared goblins with some kind of dangerous ancient magic, and signed a magic contract to tame them into qualified warriors, it was already too late. The ancient Roman Empire had collapsed at that time. Whether it was the kingdom society of Muggles or the wizarding group in it, the magic secret society had completely split up and scattered all over the world."
"Since then, wizards have gradually separated from Muggle society a little bit... Magical warfare has become a duel between individuals, small groups and small groups. The large-scale magic legion battles have disappeared."
"The originally tamed elf legion is completely useless, so the goblins at that time became the personal belongings of the wizard family in the legion at that time, passed down from generation to generation, and put the title of 'house elf' in front of the elf's name."
"And because the domesticated house-elves signed a magic contract with the wizards as an entire legion, their entire group has multiplied until now, and the entire curse has spread to the blood of each of their descendants. No house-elf can refuse any order from its master!"
"Even their thoughts and personalities have been distorted, brainwashed into the way the wizard family wants servants..."
The origin of the house-elves is known little by little in Hermione's narration.
McGuffin was more concerned about what kind of magic the house-elves were tamed at the time, and whether it could work on Wormtail, even if it was only temporarily.
But Professor McGonagall obviously wouldn't tell Hermione that.
——However, fortunately, I already know that the incident happened in the ancient Roman era. Let's see if there are any books on this in the restricted area.
McGuffin had already made up his mind.
Harry and Ron were speechless at the story.
"But, elves, don't they like to work? I thought... I've never heard of such a thing! Is this fake?" Ron said in a panic.
"It's true!" Hermione said firmly to them after finishing a Muggle research paper (on the significance of bread machines to Muggles) three or two times.
It was also the first time that Harry realized that the wizarding world was not a perfect magical paradise as he imagined.
Even if Voldemort, Death Eaters and dark wizards are removed,
The wizarding world isn't exactly a friendly society for some magical beings, for some people.
