Chapter 534 You Are Going in the Wrong Direction

Firenze's words had a great impact on Hermione. She couldn't say a word of the words she had prepared before.

"So do you understand?" Kyle turned to look at her and said:

"In the eyes of the centaurs, we who wear clothes are always punishing ourselves in the most severe way...Isn't this exactly the same as your view of house-elves?"

"No, these are two different things." Hermione shook her head, trying to overturn Kyle's view, "What I mean is that centaurs have nothing to do with us. Not liking to wear clothes is just their habit, right...but house-elves are one of us, and they are also in school."

"There is no difference, it's just that you don't want to admit it."

Kyle said, "I have seen centaurs in the explorer team in Romania. They are the same. They didn't change their habits or force their teammates to accept their ideas just because their teammates are wizards. They get along well with each other."

"No...I don't think this is different..." Hermione stammered, but didn't know how to refute.

She missed Harry and Ron a little bit. At least if they were here, they might be able to say a few words for her... Oh, no, Ron had also laughed at her badge, so he might not help even if he was here.

"What are you talking about?" Hagrid asked in a daze.

Although he participated in the whole process, and even Firenze was called by him, he didn't understand what these people were saying at all.

Centaurs, clothes, house elves... He completely understood what this meant, but he was confused.

"It's like this..." Qiu walked over and explained the general situation to Hagrid.

On the other side, Kyle looked at Hermione with a tangled face and continued:

"There is one more thing I must tell you, Hermione.

"You may not realize that your action of rushing into the kitchen to persuade the house elves to ask for wages is, to some extent, equivalent to a centaur rushing into the castle and asking everyone to take off their clothes.

"This kind of request is the biggest insult to them, no doubt about it. To be honest, I'm surprised that the house-elves didn't beat you out."

"It was almost..." Hermione was silent for a moment, and then whispered in an almost imperceptible voice: "When I left, I saw a house-elf go to get a spatula and firewood..."

"Then they are quite restrained, and they can wait until you are about to leave before they want to take action." Kyle shrugged and said, "Anyway, if a centaur comes to persuade me not to wear clothes, he will definitely stay in the school hospital for a while."

"Puff."

Cedric couldn't help laughing out loud... The centaur persuaded everyone not to wear clothes, this scene is so interesting, just thinking about it is funny.

As a result, the next second, he was stepped hard by Qiu who came back.

"By the way, what about Dobby."

At this time, Hermione seemed to suddenly think of something and regained some confidence.

"Dobby, the house elf who blocked the platform entrance in the second year, causing Harry and Ron to miss the train in time, asked the wizard to pay him.

"This shows that house elves don't completely like slave labor, they just haven't realized it yet."

"I don't deny... but this is just an exception." Kyle said, "This situation also exists among wizards. Remember, during the Quidditch World Cup, there was a wizard who liked to let the healthy breeze blow on his butt."

Cedric laughed again.

He also remembered that the wizard was only wearing a not-so-long printed pajamas at the time, and he was unwilling to change into pants.

"And speaking of Dobby..."

Kyle thought for a while, "He lived very happily with Newt Scamander. Half of his weekly salary of ten Galleons was used to buy various magical animal snacks, and the other half was given to Nifflers... and this was all voluntary. Sometimes when Newt stopped him, he would buy secretly.

There was also one day off a week, Dobby also took the Galleons to go out to buy things, and then changed into his own clothes and continued to work. "For Dobby, what he needs is never those Galleons, but to be able to work more freely... Hard work can be rewarded, and he can refuse things he doesn't like, that's all.

And other than rewards, Hogwarts has already done everything else.

"Yes." Cedric said, "If you still go to the kitchen often, you will find that they are always happy. Sometimes I just want to get some cookies, but when I come out, I find that I am holding enough snacks for a week.

I have to say that they are sometimes too enthusiastic.

Hermione was silent, her face became paler, biting her lips, and the whole person was depressed to the extreme.

The centaur's idea had a great impact on her. She once doubted whether she was really wrong to do this, but the obsession in her heart kept denying this idea.

Hermione's heart was very confused and at a loss.

"Again, you are going in the wrong direction. "

As if he had seen through her thoughts, Kyle looked in the direction where Firenze left and said, "What you should do most is to find a way to change the attitude of most people towards house-elves, rather than forcing them to pay wages.

I know a very old house-elf. Because the original owner treated him very well, he always remembered and was grateful. "

"You mean, I didn't do anything wrong?" Hermione raised her head and said excitedly.

"If you don't rush into the kitchen again and ask them for wages." Kyle said with a smile, "If there is a next time, you will probably be the first person kicked out of the kitchen."

"Then what should I do?" Hermione asked quickly: "How about handing out leaflets, or writing a letter to the Daily Prophet."

"I have no control over this." Kyle spread his hands, "After all, it is your decision, and it must be implemented by you. I have to hurry up and prepare for the second project of the competition. I am very busy."

"Then if I no longer ask for wages for the house elves, will you buy the badge?" Hermione didn't seem to give up yet.

"This..."

Kyle thought about the badge that said "vomiting" and then reached out to touch his pocket, "What a coincidence, I came out in a hurry today and didn't bring any money.

So be it, next time, I will definitely buy it next time. "

Kangna next to him glanced at him.

It’s not like she didn’t know that Kyle’s belongings were basically stored in his suitcase, so how could he not have any money with him.

Of course, she wouldn't say this out loud.

After a while, Hermione was ready to go back, but she didn't have the confidence she had when she came. She just lowered her head and walked forward silently, not knowing what she was thinking.

"Oh, right."

At this time, Kyle suddenly stopped her, "Although I can't help, I can give you a suggestion.

If you have time, you can go to the school library and read more books about house elves to give yourself a more comprehensive and in-depth understanding of them.

"At least you should be familiar with their history and their characters. Only in this way can you better persuade others.

"Instead of like before, all the decisions were...I think...I think...this is not going to work."
