Witcher at Hogwarts

Chapter 80: Conversation in the office

Hermione blushed, and Ron was still a little dizzy because of the influence of the Axifa seal, and was helped by Harry to sit on the sofa.

Ethan first expressed warm congratulations on Hermione's success in mastering the seal. Hermione's ears were a little red when she was happy. Harry knew that Hermione would only do this when she was extremely happy.

Ron, on the other hand, was still staring blankly at the front, and it seemed that he had not been freed from the influence of the Aksipha seal.

Ethan beckoned Pippi to get a big cup of hot chocolate for Ron, who was still in a daze.

Hermione looked curiously at this grotesque house-elf, a creature she had never seen before.

Pippi walked towards Ron with a big cup of hot chocolate milk, but Ron was still sitting on the sofa without any indication to pick it up. Seeing this, Hermione hurried over and took the cup from Pippi and handed it to Luo. Yep.

Perhaps it was the sweet smell of chocolate milk that stimulated Ron. Ron finally reacted while holding the hot chocolate milk. He picked up the cup and drank the whole cup of chocolate milk.

The chocolate milk finally brought Ron back to his senses. He looked around blankly, "What happened just now? Did I take a nap?" Ron licked the milk foam at the corner of his mouth and said suspiciously.

"It's nothing, it's just that my seal was successfully cast." Hermione's face was a little red.

"That's great, congratulations." Ron showed a silly smile.

This made Hermione even more embarrassed. In order to change the subject, she had to ask Ethan about Pippi.

"Professor Ethan, who is that... Mr. just now?"

"That's Pippi, the house elf. He often comes to take care of my diet." Ethan explained to Hermione with a smile.

Now Hermione was even more puzzled. "You mean he lives at Hogwarts? I've never seen him before."

"Good elves will try their best to downplay their existence and not appear in front of their masters, so it's normal for you not to see them." Ron interjected. He finally felt that he had some knowledge that surpassed Hermione's, so he hurriedly took it. Come out and start showing off.

"Master?" Hermione's eyes widened when she heard the word. "What is a master? Are they slaves?" Hermione opened her mouth in surprise and asked in confusion.

"Of course, it's always been like this. The house-elves serve wizards. As far as I know, there are many in our school kitchen. They make the meals we eat every day." Ron sat down. On the sofa, he scratched his stomach nonchalantly.

"So the food we eat has always been the product of slave labor?" Hermione screamed, she couldn't imagine that there would still be slaves in this era, which completely subverted her world view.

"Do they have wages? Do they have vacations?" Hermione asked eagerly.

"Of course not, I'm pretty sure they don't need these things." Ron said casually, which inadvertently touched Hermione's inverse scales.

"How can you be sure! You're not a house-elf!" Hermione yelled in a sharp voice.

Ron was taken aback by Hermione, and raised his hand quickly, "Okay, okay, I was wrong, I was wrong."

Hermione completely ignored that it was in Ethan's office, biting her fingers, walking around the anxious office.

"This is very unreasonable! House-elves are treated very unfairly! They are all slaves!" Hermione said to the three people in the office.

"Does Professor Dumbledore know about this?" Hermione asked with her last hope.

"I think he knows." Ethan's words shattered Hermione's final fantasy. "The relationship between house-elves and wizards was like this a long time ago, and I don't think even Dumbledore could change it."

Hermione sat down on the chair in frustration, her eyes were a little red, and the house-elf incident had shocked her greatly, and the joy of complimenting from Ethan had long since disappeared.

This made Ron a little confused. Having lived in the wizarding world since he was a child, he really couldn't understand Hermione's current emotions.

Silly Potter also doesn't know what it means. He just doesn't understand why the three of them are here to inquire about Professor Ethan's publication in the newspaper, why are they now inexplicably turned to discussing the freedom of house-elves.

"Don't be sad, Hermione. If you find something wrong, you can still correct it by your own efforts. I believe that with your efforts, more and more people will agree with this point of view." Ethan comforted Hermione. .

Hearing that Hermione's eyes quickly lit up, Hermione's low mood just now was, in the final analysis, the feeling of powerlessness caused by the sudden blow.

Now that Ethan pointed out the goal of her struggle, Hermione was quickly excited.

He even immediately began to conceive of specific ways to "rescue" house-elves.

Hermione, who was thinking about the future, suddenly felt someone poking her in the back, and when she turned around, she found that Harry was giving her a constant wink.

At first, Hermione was a little puzzled, but she quickly realized that she came here with "business".

Hermione rolled her eyes and said, "Professor Ethan, we read today's Daily Prophet, and it wrote a lot of... negative news about you."

"The reporter from the Daily Prophet is a very good man with words." Speaking of this Ethan frowned slightly, even though she didn't say anything, Rita Skeeter still used the words skillfully and completely misunderstood. the nature of things.

"Then what happened last night, Professor Ethan." Harry was so curious that he couldn't help asking.

"No big problem." Ethan curled his lips, "The dark wizard in Knockturn Alley tried to kidnap an Auror, and I had a little friction with them after I rescued that Auror~www.novelmt.com~ That's how it is."

Hermione shrank her head, and from that photo, it really didn't look like a small friction.

Ron and Harry kept nodding when they heard it. Ron had already become a big fan of Professor Ethan. In fact, no matter how Ethan explained the matter, Ron would believe it.

Seeing that Ethan didn't intend to tell the truth, Hermione couldn't continue to ask, "Then Professor Ethan, let's say goodbye first." Hermione stood up and said goodbye politely to Ethan, and brought Harry and Luo Eun left Ethan's office.

"Have you seen the pile of gold coins on Professor Ethan's desk? It's really cool." As soon as he left Ethan's office, Ron couldn't wait to sigh.

"Could it be that Professor Ethan and Snape went to rob Diagon Alley yesterday?" Harry speculated with wide-open brains.

Hermione and Ron rolled their eyes almost at the same time when they heard this: "God Harry, Professor Ethan is a professor at Hogwarts, there is absolutely no way he could do this!"

After the two of them talked, Harry also felt that his guess was a bit absurd, and hurriedly stuck out his tongue.

"I probably already know how that money came from." Hermione put on a confident look.

"How come?" Harry and Ron looked at Hermione curiously.

"I've read in books that the venom of the eight-eyed giant spider is very valuable. Professor Ethan killed a lot of eight-eyed giant spiders in front of him. He should have sold all the venom." Hermione analyzed plausibly.

There was an incomparable desire in Ron's eyes. There were many children in the Weasley family. As a child in the middle, his pocket money was never enough.

Now that he knew that a witcher was such a lucrative profession, Ron suddenly wanted to be a witcher.
