In the end, Elwyn accepted Hermione's suggestion and agreed to become the president of the House-Elf Rights and Interests Promotion Association.
Although it seemed almost impossible to succeed, on second thought, Elwyn seemed to be doing this kind of stupid thing all the time.
Whether it was the Lord Voldemort or the evil gods, defeating them was much more difficult than defending the rights and interests of house-elves.
If the result was judged by a simple comparison of strength, then Elwyn should give up quickly and not struggle.
As long as he worked hard, it was not necessary to consider the final result from a practical point of view.
Elwyn and Hermione discussed for a while. Unlike Hermione, who was eager for quick results, he thought that this matter should be done step by step.
After all, this was a concept that had been passed down in the magic world for centuries, and it was unrealistic to change it in a short time.
Fortunately, as the proportion of Muggle wizards and mixed-blood wizards gradually increased, many inherent ideas were changing.
Hermione's views were not without supporters, but could represent the voice of some wizards.
What the House-Elf Rights and Interests Promotion Association needed to do now was to develop members. Elwyn helped her revise the article to win more people's understanding and approval.
Looking at Hermione's thoughts, it seemed that she had other plans, and was ready to use her own efforts to do something for the house-elf.
The next morning, the unpleasantness between Ron and Hermione was quickly reconciled.
The two of them apologized to each other, thinking that they were a little too excited last night.
In the end, Harry and Ron also paid two silver coins as a membership fee, just like Elwyn.
The dull school life continued, but the development of other little wizards to participate in the House-Elf Rights and Interests Promotion Association did not go smoothly.
Because they could not stand Hermione's continuous persuasion and fierce glare, Corin, Ginny, and Neville also paid to join, but they refused to wear the badge and participate in the various promotional activities organized by the association. Instead, they treated the whole thing as a joke.
Everyone's negative attitude didn't shake Hermione's determination to seek fair treatment for the house-elf.
It was true that they had all paid two silver cicos for the s.p. e badge, but they had done so only to silence her.
However, everyone's silver was wasted in vain. Not only did Hermione not calm down because of this, she argued even more fiercely.
She kept pestering Elwyn, Harry, and Ron. First, she asked them to wear the badge, and then she asked them to explain why others did it.
She had also developed a habit of nagging and pestering others in the Gryffindor common room every night. She would shake her piggy bank under their noses and ask them to spend money to buy badges and join the House-Elf Rights Promotion Association.
Although Hermione worked so hard, everyone was not interested in it. The few meetings that were held were basically listening to Hermione reading the articles she had written.
Not long after, the Hogwarts Magic Newspaper began to publish the articles she had written to defend the rights and interests of the house-elf.
This seemed to have worked, and readers kept writing to Hermione.
Many people thought she was crazy to have the absurd idea of paying the wages of the house-elf, but there were still a few people who supported her.
They thought that Hermione was doing the right thing. This gave Hermione great encouragement and gave her the motivation to continue.
As she often told Elwyn, this was a good start. Her badge and the House-Elf Rights Promotion Association were no longer limited to Hogwarts.
In terms of school curriculum, Moody began to use the Soul Snatch Curse on every little Wizard in the Defense Against Dark Magic class.
At present, Elwyn was the only one in the school who could completely break and defeat this curse.
After many attempts, Harry and a small number of senior students could successfully resist and not be easily controlled by the Dark Wizard.
Ron performed the worst in this regard. He had no resistance to the Soul Snatch Curse.
Perhaps because of the influence of his previous experience, he had a much greater difficulty in dealing with the curse than the others, and was easily controlled.
In the words of Professor Moody, Ron lacked strong willpower.
This made Ron very dissatisfied, and every Defense Against Dark Magic class became a kind of torture.
He complained that Moody was like a paranoid person, and it was no wonder that people were eager to kick him out of the Ministry of Magic.
From what Moody said, it seemed like someone could break into the school and attack them at any time.
However, Elwyn believed that it was necessary to learn how to resist the Soul Snatch Curse as soon as possible.
Until now, he had not found any trace of Barty Crouch Jr., who was hiding in the dark.
Either Barty Crouch Jr. had not yet arrived at Hogwarts, or the Marauder Map was not working.
The former was very likely. Keresis had said that this fellow planned to make a move during the tournament.
At that time, most of the protective spells in Hogwarts Castle would be removed, and its defense would be at its weakest.
Moreover, there would be many outsiders swarming in.
Barty Crouch Jr. might be among these people, waiting for an opportunity to make a move.
After confirming that he could not quickly find Barty Crouch Jr. through the Marauder Map, Elwyn put the matter aside.
He now focused most of his energy on the study of ancient magic, and even tried to learn the language of the merfolk.
The curriculum pressure of the third-years was obviously much more than that of the second-years. Elwyn was living a fulfilling life every day.
As for Harry, Ron, and Hermione, they were even busier. The amount of homework they had to do in the fourth years made them feel suffocated.
This was because when they entered the fifth year next year, they would have to take the OLS Ordinary Wizard Rank Examination.
In the words of Professor Meg, this was an important period for the young wizards to enter magic education, and they had to pay enough attention to it.
However, everyone's performance obviously did not satisfy the professors.
Their homework was getting harder and more demanding, which made Harry and Ron increasingly dissatisfied.
The only thing that made them feel happy was that they got high marks in divination class for their homework.
Although this sounded funny, it was one of the few pieces of good news.
In fact, Elwyn was also praised.
Professor Trelawney even read out many parts of his prophecy aloud in class, praising him for being able to bravely accept the terrible things that were about to happen.
Hagrid's Mythical Animal Protection class was still a mess, and he suggested that they go to his hut every other day to observe the fried tail conchs.
They would also record their unusual behavior as part of the "project."
These fried tail conchs grew very quickly, even though no one knew what they liked to eat.
Hagrid had already separated them into different boxes, and there were hundreds of wooden boxes that kept shaking in front of his hut.
It probably wouldn't be long before these fried tail conchs broke out of the boxes.
