Chapter 600 House Elf Needing Wages

After Dobby was expelled by the Malfoy family, Ivan took him in. ??

He just wanted to help Dobby, and in fact, there was nothing Dobby needed to do.

At the busiest time of "Hogwarts Magic News", Ivan once asked Dobby to assist Fred and George in applying for the printing job.

After Professor Lupine took over, Dobby was free again and was mainly responsible for taking care of Ivan's daily life.

This amount of work is really nothing for a family supporter, he needs more work.

Ivan can only let him help in the kitchen and live with his companions, which is the best arrangement for him.

"Master Aiwen, do you need any food here?" Dobby screamed excitedly, "You don't need to come down in person, you just need to call, and Dobby can send it up for you at any time, you know how to summon more Than......"

As soon as he finished speaking, the house elves beside Ivan and Hermione began to get busy.

They took out all kinds of ingredients at once and prepared to give the two of them something to eat.

"No need to prepare, we don't need to eat!" Aiwen said hurriedly, looking at these house elves with a headache, "Dobby, Hermione and I just came to see how you are living here?"

"Oh, Master Aiwen is still so kind!" Dobby's big green eyes were suddenly soaked with tears, and he looked at Aiwen and Hermione tearfully, "Master Aiwen actually brought his friends to visit Dobby himself , Dobby and Winky..."

"What, Winky is here too?!" Hermione said in surprise.

After the World Cup, they never saw Winky again.

Ivan knew from Sirius that the Ministry of Magic released Shining after some investigation and found her innocent.

But she could never go back to Crouch's house, and she didn't know where she went after leaving the Ministry of Magic.

"Yes, Miss, yes, Winky also works here!" Dobby said, grabbing Ivan and Hermione's hands.

He pulled the two of them across four long wooden tables and into the inner kitchen.

In the kitchen, the tables were placed in exactly the same positions as the tables of the four colleges in the auditorium above.

Dinner was over by the moment, and there was no food on the table, but not so long ago it must have been piled high with delicacies and delivered through the ceiling to the corresponding tables above.

At this moment, there were at least three hundred elves standing in the kitchen.

When Dobby led Alvin and Hermione past them, they all laughed, bowed, and curtseyed.

They all wore the same uniform: a tea towel with the Hogwarts crest on it.

They wrapped tea towels like robes like Winky had done before.

A few minutes later, Dobby stopped in front of a brick fireplace and pointed it out to Alvin and Hermione.

"Winky, look, Miss, Master Aiwen!" he said.

Winky was sitting on a stool by the fire, and unlike Dobby, she didn't seem to wear whatever she could find.

She was wearing a neat little skirt and blouse, and a matching blue hat with two holes cut out to show her large ears.

However, Dobby's strange combination of clothes was kept spotlessly clean as if it were brand new, while Winky clearly didn't care about her own clothes, with soup-splattered blouse and a burnt spot on her skirt up.

"Winky!" said Hermione.

Seeing the two of them, Winky raised her head and trembled slightly, her lips trembled, and then burst into tears, tears rolling out of her big brown eyes and falling on her chest, and Quidditch It's the same at the World Cup.

"Oh my God," said Hermione sadly, "Winky, stop crying, please..."

But Winky cried even more fiercely, and Dobby looked up at Aiwen happily.

"Master Aiwen, would you like a cup of tea?" He asked loudly in a shrill voice, drowning out Winky's sobs.

"Okay, let's have some!" Ivan said.

He looked around at the layout of the kitchen and compared it with the castle plan he had found.

But no, everything changed beyond recognition, everything changed too much.

Hearing the conversation between Ivan and Dobby, six house elves hurried up from behind him immediately.

They carried a large silver tray with a teapot on it and Alvin and Hermione's cups.

On top of the tray, there was a jug of milk and a large plate of biscuits.

"Thanks, this looks good!" Evan said.

The elves were delighted to hear his words, bowed low, and drew back.

"Dobby, how long has Winky been here?" Hermione asked.

"Probably over a month, "Nobody wants to take her in, you know, it's hard to find a new job for an expelled house-elf, hard hard! "

After hearing this, Winky wailed even more.

Snot dripped from her nose like a squashed tomato and dripped on her chest, and she didn't want to stop it.

"Dobby originally planned to ask Master Aiwen for help, let him hire Winky like he hired Dobby, and pay her!" Dobby said sharply, "But Dobby is not sure if he should go to trouble because of this matter Great Master Irwin, Dobby knew that he was already so busy that he shouldn't be distracted by such a small matter. And he had already hired Dobby, he didn't have so much work, and he couldn't give another house-elf pay wages..."

The house-elves in the kitchen had been watching and listening to them with interest.

But at this they all looked away, as if Dobby had said something rude and embarrassing.

In their eyes, asking for payment is a very shameful behavior, which is almost an insult to the house-elf.

Aiwen persuaded Dobby not to worry about this. Although he didn't have so many jobs, he was willing to spend money to hire Winky.

But Dobby kept shaking his head. He thought it was a shameful behavior to get paid without working, which was completely unacceptable, and he would not let Ivan hire Winky.

Hermione spoke highly of Dobby's request for labor remuneration.

She even took out a quill and started to record it, and it seemed that she was going to publish it in the newspaper as a new publicity point.

A free house-elf who wanted her wages, just the kind of role model she and the House-Elf Rights Advocacy needed.

She needs to let the wizarding world know that not all house-elves are willing to be exploited and enslaved, and she needs to let wizards know what they think.

That's why the Advocacy Society was founded, to give house-elves a voice.

Hermione looked very excited. She was going to interview other elves for a while to hear their opinions. (To be continued.) 8
