The two of them were very busy.

That night, Andy stayed outside the castle until very late.

When he came back, he was empty-handed, and no one knew what he had done.

Harry and his friends waited in the castle hall until midnight, but Andy didn't come back, so they had to go back to the common room to sleep.

The next day, Harry and his friends found Andy and asked, "What happened last night? Why didn't we three see you after waiting for so long? You didn't come back?"

Andy was surprised.

He had the Sky-Shaping Seat, which could turn into flowing water to hide himself, and he also knew two secret passages to and from Hogsmeade that the Weasley twins told him. How could Harry and his friends find this?

With these means, Andy couldn't be caught for night wandering.

Harry realized that he had asked a stupid question, blushing and asked: "What do you want to say when Shangfeng contacted you?"

Andy: "Hey, Shangfeng won't let me say it, so I decided to keep it a secret."

Hermione said suddenly: "I always feel that it's not a good thing for you two to meet. What conspiracy are you doing?"

Andy: "You know it's a conspiracy, how can I tell you."

"Damn it!"

Andy asked: "Have you gone to find the house-elf named Winky? What did she say?"

Hermione fought back: "Keep it a secret! I won't tell you!"

Harry said anxiously: "Winky didn't say anything. Even if she was kicked out of the Crouch family, she still felt that she should remain loyal to Crouch."

Hermione got angry when she mentioned this: "This is simply treating house-elves as slaves! They don't care about their rights at all!"

Ron was surprised: "Have you not given up your 'vomiting' yet?"

Influenced by Dobby, the house-elf who fought for his freedom, Hermione announced the establishment of a house-elf rights protection organization a few months ago.

The abbreviation of this organization is s.p.e.w, which means the same as the word vomit.

Few supporters of Hermione responded. Currently, this organization only has her, Harry and Ron as the management.

There is also another Gryffindor student, Neville Longbottom, who was forced to join because he couldn't persuade her.

Hermione said angrily: "That's not vomiting! I don't understand why you can't realize that house-elves are essentially equal to us, and they have their own rights!"

Andy: "Because your demands are inconsistent with the public's perception. Hermione, like me, grew up in a family without magic. For us, the existence of house-elves violates our values."

"But for traditional wizard families, house-elves have been part of this world since they were born, and it is not a mistake that needs to be corrected."

"The concept of the magic world is that house-elves are servants of wizards."

"This point Just like the attitude towards pure-blood wizards and half-blood wizards, at the beginning, pure-blood wizards discriminated against half-blood wizards and called them mudbloods, such as Malfoy. "

"Only when there are enough half-blood wizards and they have the right to speak, will the public's concept begin to change gradually."

"You want to change all this, but others don't have enough interests to drive you, so of course you won't get support."

"Let me ask you, now there is a alien who doesn't keep pets, he thinks your pet offends his three views, and asks you to give up your pet unconditionally without giving you any compensation, will you pay attention to him?"

Hermione was silent after hearing this.

Andy's perspective is clearer than hers. She didn't consider why everyone didn't support her at all, but just wanted to help the house-elves unilaterally.

As a result, even the house-elves didn't like her approach.

This has nothing to do with right or wrong. Not many people in the real world care about right or wrong.

Most people are selfish, and no one wants to let the house-elves, who were originally regarded as property, escape from the control of their own family.

If you want them to support you, you must tie the interests of both parties together.

When the benefits of liberating the house-elves far exceed the benefits of tying them up at home, then there will be no need for Hermione to preach, and every wizard will consciously begin to demand more rights for the house-elves.

And this is an extremely long process.

Hermione said in a muffled voice: "I will think about it again, thank you, Andy..."

...

In June, Ludo Bagman finally called on the warriors of the Triwizard Tournament again, which was much later than the original time.

At night, the four warriors came to the Quidditch field.

If

When Harry and Cedric were cleaning the stands, the stadium still looked like something, but now it has completely changed.

In the center of the stadium, countless low walls made of hedges were erected, densely packed, crisscrossed, forming a maze.

Ludo Bagman smiled and said, "How about it! In a while, Hagrid will make them twenty feet tall!"

"Sorry, we temporarily increased the difficulty. Originally, you could know the content of the game a month in advance, but we decided not to do so now. You only have less than two weeks!"

"A maze?" Fleur said in surprise.

Ludo Bagman nodded proudly.

Harry asked, "What are we going to do? Is this the third task?"

"That's right!" Ludo Bagman said, "You will decide the order of entry based on your previous points. There will be many tests in the maze. Generally speaking, it involves many aspects, so I can't reveal them one by one."

"The way to decide the winner is very simple. Whoever finds the Goblet of Fire placed in the maze first will be the champion!"

Hearing that the order is determined by points, Fleur shrugged at Andy indifferently.

She ranked last in points and didn't think she could win at all.

With Andy's speed, when the official competition starts, Andy will probably get the Goblet of Fire before she has time to enter the maze.

"Okay, that's it. If there are no problems, let's go back to the castle."

Ludo Bagman announced the disbandment.

Krum stopped Andy immediately: "Can you come with me?"

Andy: "What's wrong?"

Krum: "It's about Hermione... Hermione."

Andy suddenly realized that he hadn't given up yet.

Andy suddenly asked: "Do you have a house elf at home?"

"Yes, what's wrong? Old Drew has served my family for many years."

Krum was stunned. Why did he suddenly ask this?

Andy: "After he dies, do you plan to cut off his head and hang it on the wall of your house?"

This is the tradition of house elves, to show their status and prove that they can continue to serve the master's family after death.

Many ancient wizard families, including the Black family, do this with their house elves.

"Yes." Krum nodded.

"It's okay, let's go." Andy said hello to Harry and Fleur, and followed Krum away.

Poor Krum, I guess he won't be able to catch up with Hermione in this life.

Krum was puzzled and took Andy around the Quidditch field and walked towards the edge of the Forbidden Forest.
