"My God!", "Someone fell into the water!"
When the fleet passed through the middle of the lake, there was a small commotion on the lake. It seemed that some first-year students did not sit still and accidentally fell off the boat.
However, the commotion probably only lasted a few seconds, and the child who accidentally fell into the water was swept back into the boat by a torrent.
"Dennis, sit down and don't move!"
While saving people, Harry also recognized the child. He was Colin's younger brother, Dennis Creevey.
The kid probably felt that everything around him was too new, and he fell into the black lake because of the nails on his buttocks. When Harry glanced at him, this little soaked chicken was still smiling excitedly.
Well, seeing this, Harry can basically confirm his sorting house.
"Master Granger, silly Hagrid, this way! Thank God, you're finally here~"
Finally, the gate of the Hogwarts auditorium was approaching, and Harry heard Peeves' anxious call.
Chapter 580 The Sixth School Opening Ceremony, Lemons Are So Sour
"Master Granger, it's raining too much, come here quickly!"
Seeing Harry and Hagrid coming to the door with the first graders, Peeves hurriedly flew out holding an umbrella, and covered Harry's head courteously.
As for Hagrid... he always carried his umbrella with him, even when it wasn't raining.
Of course, Harry didn't really need Peeves' help to keep out the rain. As a being who completely controlled the water element, it was impossible for him to get wet.
It's just that this is Peeves' way of expressing gratitude, and Harry naturally accepted the other party's kindness.
Today, this Sao Ling was wearing a brightly colored dress and the hat that Harry gave him, and he seemed to be in a good mood.
Peeves was allowed to attend the opening ceremony for the first time in hundreds of years, of course because of Harry's mediation.
For a long time, Hogwarts' Council of Ghosts—actually, the ghosts of the four colleges—had habitually excluded Peeves when discussing topics among ghosts.
At the same time, because Peeves is too mischievous, the Ghost Council has not allowed Peeves to participate in the opening ceremony.
Of course Peeves has a lot of opinions on this, but he is most afraid of the bloody Baron of Slytherin, so he can only stare at the brightly lit auditorium every year.
But this year was different, with Harry as a guarantor for Peeves, the ghosts of the eagle, lion, and badger house had no objection to letting him attend the banquet.
The bloody Barrow complained quite a bit about this, so...he was beaten.
The true lady Gray, that is, Helena Ravenclaw, said that the enchanted knuckle made by Harry is very useful, not only beautiful and light, but also punching to the flesh, which really made her angry.
After this vent output, although Helena may not have figured it out completely, her mood is no longer as depressed as before.
The only fly in the ointment is that when she wanted to hit Barrow again to savor the feeling, the latter hid, and has not shown up until now.
At the same time, because of his abstention, Peeves finally became the guest of honor at the opening ceremony.
At this moment, he was gratefully leading Harry and Hagrid towards the depths of the auditorium, while leaving a group of first-year students in the waiting area of the branch.
This kind of behavior also caused a whisper at the same time. Among the first-year students, there are many young wizards with family background, so they have a prior understanding of the situation at Hogwarts.
Harry Granger is Hogwarts school bully and God of War. His legends are numerous, including taming the notorious Peeves.
Now it seems that this is really true.
The auditorium is still so magnificent, and it seems to be decorated for the new semester banquet. There are hundreds of candles floating above the table, shining the reflection of the plates and goblets.
Hagrid went to the teaching bench alone, while Harry and Peeves sat at the long table in Ravenclaw. It was the first time to attend the banquet, and Peeves seemed very excited, waving two extinguished candles all the time.
This kind of behavior is acquiesced by Harry. As a spirit who is born to do things, it is impossible for Peeves to become completely honest... But as long as he doesn't throw out what he is holding, Harry doesn't care about him Such dancing.
"I saw Colin's brother just now, and he accidentally fell into the lake." While waiting for the sorting, Harry told Hermione and others about the interesting things about crossing the lake before.
And the pair of brothers and protagonists in his mouth are waving to each other across the long table at the moment.
"Harry is just amazing! He just pointed like that and I flew from the lake to the boat!"
Hmm... Dennis, the kid, almost yelled so that the whole school could hear him.
"Sir, please be quiet! We are about to start sorting!" After Professor McGonagall reprimanded him with a straight face, Dennis immediately stuck out his tongue, showing an embarrassed expression.
"Oh, this kid is even more lively than Colin." Will couldn't help but find it very interesting, "He should be assigned to a college with Colin, I remember that the Weasley family seems to be all from Gryffindor How many graduates?"
"Basically, but not without exceptions." Hermione said from the side, "Parvati Patil from the Lion House, and her sister Padma is in our college."
"He will be sorted into Gryffindor...unless he has other intentions." Luna was quite certain about this.
"Yes, branching is actually a two-way choice, but it's rare for young wizards at this age to confirm with certainty where they want to go."
"That's true..." Hermione, who was once a difficult student in the sorting school, deeply agreed with Harry's words.
If she had her own inclination at that time, and could take the initiative to choose Ravenclaw when the Sorting Hat was tangled, Harry would not have to set the fire because of the hat's backlash.
Since then, year after year, they have changed a lot...
But the only thing that hasn't changed is that they are always together!
"Denis Creevey, Gryffindor!"
At this time, Professor McGonagall's voice-over came, and Colin's younger brother was indeed sorted into the Lion House.
The two brothers were chatting happily together at the moment, and occasionally glanced at Harry's side, obviously talking about topics related to him.
"Sure enough, it's Gryffindor. Your guess is quite accurate." Hermione curled her lips when she saw this, "Crazy girl, can you guess again, who is this year's Defense Against the Dark Arts professor?"
There was still a vacant seat at the teaching staff, and the new black defense professor hadn't arrived for some reason, so not only Harry and the others, but the whole school were actually very curious about who the new teacher would be.
Lupine's bizarre resignation at the end of the last school year made many students feel very sorry, because he is definitely an impeccable teacher.
Therefore, many people are praying in their hearts at this moment, at least the new teacher will not be too different from the other party.
"I do know a little bit about this," Harry said at this time, his smile had disappeared for some reason, and he said lightly for everyone, "Lupine told me that the new Defense Against the Dark Arts professor is Alastor Moody."
"Mad-Eye... is that retired Auror who went to Albania with you? Isn't he very powerful?" Wilton opened his eyes wide in surprise.
"Hmph, what's so amazing, just a nervous retired old wizard." Harry seemed to be full of resentment at the moment, "I heard that just the night before the start of school, he still nervously suspected that someone broke into his house, not only abusing magic privately, but also blowing up a dumpster."
"Alas...", "It's started again~"
Hearing Harry's remarks, Hermione and Luna looked at each other, showing helpless expressions at the same time.
It was the same last year, Harry seemed to attach great importance to the position of Professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts, and disliked the appointment of a new professor.
Even Lupine, who had a close relationship with him, was also treated by Harry rolling his eyes out of the sky.
It is no exaggeration to say that Harry and Snape, for the position of Professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts, are the two most sour lemons in Hogwarts~
Chapter 580 Seventh Elf Guarantee, Empathy
The new year's sorting is over, and Ravenclaw has naturally ushered in many new faces. When these little wizards sat down, they all looked at Harry with admiration or expectation, as if they regarded him as a well-deserved member of Eagle House. The handlebars.
But this is no wonder, after all, everyone in the school now knows that although Harry Granger behaves perversely and domineeringly, so that the Eagle Academy often deducts points because of him, as long as he is at Hogwarts, the students of the Eagle Academy Just don't mess with one.
This matter, Slytherin is now absolutely clear and cannot be more clear. Many of them have personally verified this point with their parents.
However, Harry is not completely without nemesis, and it is actually very simple for the Eagle Academy to win the Academy Cup, all they need is someone to speak.
"Hey, I'm going to take back the Academy Cup this year! Don't make trouble, or...you can go home by yourself~"
With the last sentence, Hermione controlled the volume so that only the two of them could hear, and Harry immediately nodded his head like a cat, swearing that he would never lose college points for messing around this year.
Hmm... If the bully girl threatens not to go to school with him, then Harry will really have to accept it~
Of course, the main reason is that people who play this game are more fragrant...
In the middle of the auditorium, Professor McGonagall took away the sorting hat and the small stool, and at the same time the headmaster stood up.
Dumbledore looked at all the students with a smile, and opened his arms in a welcoming gesture.
"I only have two words for you... eat!"
The empty plates on the long table were suddenly miraculously filled with food, and after cheering for a while, the students began to feast on it.
It seems that after experiencing last year's incident, Lao Deng also realized the truth that 'eating first is king'.
Otherwise, there will be another big news such as "hunting pettigrets", and these students will have to be hungry again.
But today's weather is really good. Up to now, it has been raining and there is no thunder. It seems that God is also very sorry for this group of students who have suffered a lot.
It's just that it's a bit bitter. As a special guest, the old professor Tofudi used the panoramic telescope to look at the sky outside almost every minute, and he couldn't even stop eating.
"Oh... delicious! It's really delicious, wow ha ha ha!"
Among the students, the happiest thing to eat is undoubtedly Peeves, who participated in the party for the first time in hundreds of years. As a Sao Ling, he can have a physical body, so he can naturally enjoy the pleasure of chewing.
But Harry felt that the reason why Peeves ate like a hungry ghost was to show off to Sir Nick and other ghosts who couldn't eat... because he probably couldn't taste it at all.
"Ah..." Unlike Peeves who wanted to grow a mouth more, Hermione seemed to lack interest. She just took two bites of food and only drank a glass of her favorite pumpkin juice.
"Thinking about the house-elves?" Harry could easily guess what she was struggling with.
"Yeah..." Hermione frowned and sighed softly, "Although I know this is the norm for house elves, I still feel that Hogwarts should at least be fair to them. Preparing such a banquet must be exhausting, Will they get enough rest after this? With so many people at school needing their care, they may not even have time to rest!"
"And there are those guys who don't even know Gamp's law of transformation. Would they think that the food in front of them was transformed without any effort?!"
"Most people actually ignore it," Luna said lightly from the side, "They won't care about a group that has nothing to do with them."
"How can this be irrelevant?" Hermione frowned dissatisfied, "The teachers and students of Hogwarts enjoy the labor of elves, but they treat them as if they don't exist. This kind of attitude is really inappropriate. Reasonable! There is also Mr. Crouch before, his little elf is obviously afraid of heights, but he forcibly took her to the high stands, and he didn't care how scared she was!"
"In my opinion, these house elves who have been treated harshly by others, it's better to take them all to work in my nursing home." Harry stopped Hermione's complaints, and said with a chuckle, "In my nursing home The house elves who work here, they have wages, two days off every week, can take sick leave, and those who perform well at work even have extra allowances, as well as opportunities for promotion and salary increase~”
"What did you say?" Hermione's eyes widened in astonishment, "What you said is true? But...will they be willing to accept this?"
What Harry said was undoubtedly the rights and interests that house-elves deserved in Hermione's view, but she knew very well that no wizard would be willing to provide these things.
And the house elves would never take the initiative to accept it!
So how on earth did Harry do it?
Hermione was not the only one who had such doubts. Luna and Will also stopped their knives and forks. At the same time, there were some Eagle School students around who had been paying attention to their conversation.
"Of course they won't take the initiative to accept this, but I can change the way to let them enjoy it without knowing it." Harry took a sip of the juice in hand, as if he really had a bit of a wise man in his gestures.
"For a qualified house-elf, it's best not to let others realize his existence... This is actually just a wizard's whitewashing of his neglect of house-elves. So in view of this, I stipulate that all house-elves should You have to clock in when you leave work, and you can only start work after clocking in."
"In this way, while I limit their working hours, I can also help them gradually develop the habit of 'resting without clocking in'. Therefore, when they encounter weekends without clocking in, they naturally have the same A holiday with free activities."
"After I have the clock-in records, I can calculate their wages based on their attendance and overtime. Of course, they will definitely not ask for this money, but I can help them save it first, and then pay when they change their minds. give them."
“The rest are similar operations. They have to take care of the elderly, so their own health is also very important. If they are sick, they must report in time, so that they can get sick leave; Receive praise or criticism, record these evaluations while stipulating that they are not allowed to abuse themselves, and in the end, it will naturally be converted into allowances and promotion qualifications."
"This...this system, how did you come up with it?" Hermione's mouth was so wide open that she couldn't just stuff an egg.
She never expected that Harry actually came up with an effective protection system for the rights and interests of house elves!
"It's actually very simple, you just need to think differently." Harry explained with a chuckle.
"Think of yourself as a house elf, and then think about...under what circumstances would you accept these rights, and finally put them into action, that's it~"
Chapter 580 Individual Screening, No Grouping
Encountering problems and solving them is the methodology that Harry has always adhered to.
The crux of the house elf's problems is nothing more than the word 'force'.
Because of the ideological coercion of generations of slaves, the enslaved house elves will not take the initiative to accept the protection of rights and interests that are beneficial to them.
And Harry's solution is to use this kind of coercion in a disguised form, forcing them to accept this kind of welfare by changing the statement and concealing key information.
During this period, he only needs to supplement it with subtle ideological education, and little by little, the elves in the nursing home can gradually accept and like this brand new life.
In this way, they have a high probability of becoming the next, or even the next batch of 'Dobby'.
After all, it is difficult to go from 'luxury' to frugality~
And when these 'Dobby' beliefs are strong enough, they can go out of the nursing home and go to the outside world to influence more house elves.
In the meantime, if they can enlist the help of some wizards, they may finally be able to really improve the situation of the house-elves as a group.
Of course, the process is bound to be long, but it really doesn't matter whether it drags on or simply fails.
Because in this process, Harry didn't force the house-elves to violate their creed, so the elves would only be grateful to Harry, and would not be particularly violently rebellious.
