With a bang, a plate of lunch suddenly appeared on his desk. Kayson took the plate over and took a bite, picking up the knife and fork.
Chew, chew, chew, chew...
After a while, classmate Hermione began to output. "Professor, do you know? The delicacies on your plate are all made by the enslaved House-elf among Hogwarts Kitchens."
Kayson: Chew, chew, chew... chew, chew...
Chew, chew, chew... Chew, chew, chew...
"So? So?" Kayson said while chewing.
"So... Professor, we are now oppressing and exploiting these House-elf people like slaves! We eat food made by House-elf, and every inch of the castle we live in has traces of House-elf cleaning, and the poor ones don't even get wages." Hermione said solemnly.
"Hmm... so? Why do they need wages?" Kayson sighed, and he decided to have a good fight with Hermione. If she was just pestering Harry Neville before, he could join in the fun with a smile, but now Hermione has pointed the finger at himself.
One thing to say, before I was hanging up high, it felt so painful that I could not be cut by a knife, but now I have been cut by a knife...
Although it is a little late, there is still time!
We must charge. Now Hermione is no longer an ordinary Hermione. We must punch!!!
"They have worked hard and they need wages!" Hermione said.
"...Hermione, do you know the changes in human productivity? I just gave a lecture to the seventh grade some time ago." Kayson asked in return.
"I know, the seniors and sisters told us." Hermione nodded.
"In the beginning, humans practiced slash-and-burn farming. Later, humans learned animal husbandry and learned to use animal power, such as letting cattle plow the land, donkeys pulling grinders, and using carrots and fishing rods to let pigs carry people. They don't get paid, right?" Kayson responded.
"Those are animals, they are not people." Hermione replied.
"Bobby." Kayson said, and the next moment a House-elf appeared among several people with a bang.
"Hermione, do you think it's human?"
Hermione looked at Poppy and swallowed. The current situation was not that favorable to her. Even if it was good, she still wanted to be brave and did not bite the bullet and say that the House-elf in front of her was a human being.
"It is an intelligent life."
Kayson scratched his chin in embarrassment. "You can't just say that a life is intelligent when it can speak. In fact, there are many intelligent beings, such as cows. They will even shed tears when they are slaughtered in the slaughterhouse, but no one has any objection to eating beef."
Hermione is suffering. Her current experience of being only fourteen years old must be no match for that of Kayson, and the latter... obviously has no intention of letting Hermione go.
"And Hermione, you can't force your ideas on House-elf. That's a kind of arrogance, a very profound arrogance. House-elf is different from human cognition. They don't like freedom and rights. Maybe what I said is more straightforward, they are all in a state of turmoil, and they like that."
"And now, House-elf serves as a social position of service, but you forcefully liberate them. The basic service providers of this society disappear, so who will fill this gap? The wizards of Muggle-born? Or the ordinary Muggle without magic?"
"Or is it Alchemy golem? Unfortunately, they are not smart enough. Even if they are smart enough in the future... To be honest, Alchemy golem cannot provide emotional value, which is why House-elf still has a market among Pure-blood family."
"And you who have done all this will not receive blessings from either side of you. The wizards have lost their slaves, and even some wizards have been forcibly placed in the position of servants. They will definitely hate you."
"And House-elf has lost its original social status. While they hate you for making them lose their social status, a large number of House-elf have become factors of social instability that are outside the mainstream society. Ministry of Magic will definitely massacre them."
"And there is something wrong with your method. Your method has not affected normal people. Maybe I can be more explicit. You are affecting Harry, Neville, Ron, and me. We are not the slave owners of House-elf. The slave owner of House-elf is Dumbledore is Pure-blood family, such as Sirius, such as Slytherin, such as Draco Malfoy. In addition to that...Dobby, there are four House-elf."
"You did not choose to liberate House-elf, who are the real slave owners of House-elf, but you chose us, who were said to be innocent. In fact, this can be said to be a kind of... Please forgive me for being sharp, this can be seen as a kind of cowardice, because you clearly know that we will not really attack you."
"But their Slytherin Pure-blood are capable, both physically and mentally, but Sirius are not among them."
"What I want to say is that judging from what you are doing now, what you want is not really to liberate House-elf. What you need is to show your overflowing compassion and let others see your sincere sigh."
"Wow! Hermione is so caring and kind-hearted. Isn't this what Merlin is here! I love her so much!"
"But in fact, they don't think of you that way. They think you are... a fool with low emotional intelligence? Please forgive my wording."
Kayson responded while eating. He didn't have to use his brain to refute Hermione's point of view. After all, Hermione's so-called idea of liberating House-elf...
Chew, chew, chew, chew...
And Hermione looked at Kayson who was chewing with a pale face, and then looked at Harry who thought they were stupid.
Kayson was shocked when he saw Hermione's appearance. He had a strange premonition, Hermione wouldn't cry here, right?
