The Strongest Badger at Hogwarts

"You mean, the poaching of fire dragons has never disappeared, and it is still very rampant?"

Hermione said with a pale face.

He thought a lot from Link's description, but it was the most terrifying thing she could think of.

"Simply hunting fire dragons can't provide such a large market. After all, fire dragons have a very low fertility rate. The reality is even worse than this, Hermione." Link said calmly, "In fact, most fire dragon materials, They are all spread from the officially established dragon farms and dragon conservation areas.

Those high-sounding dragon trainers are all good fire dragon lovers on the surface. But in fact, they peel off some of the scales and dragon skins on those fire dragons every once in a while, add blood and cut the flesh, and then sell them to specialized processing plants to make products.

In addition, they will also train fire dragons so that fire dragons can participate in some commercial activities. For example, in our Triwizard Tournament this time, the appearance fee for the four fire dragons is not low. As for how they train dragons, I can also give you an example.

Gringotts' underground treasury houses a fire dragon to guard the treasure! It's no secret, I'm sure most of you should have heard of it. This fire dragon was tamed underground by the goblins since childhood. The goblin's training method for it is to keep hacking it with a sword from a young age, while shaking a special bell. Shake it, chop it!

Over time, even if you don't cut it, just shake the bell, the fire dragon will instinctively feel pain and obey the goblin's words.

I guess the methods used by those dragon trainers are not much worse, if not as cruel as the goblins. "

Link took a deep breath and suddenly raised the volume and said:

"I know many of you want to ask me why on earth did I kill that Hungarian tree peak dragon! What I'm telling you is that the dragon asked me to do it!

Yes, I know that sounds like a quibble! But it's the truth!

I've already learned Legilimency and Sensation Charms.

Through these two magic spells, I can sense the emotions expressed by the fire dragon to the greatest extent!

At the last moment, every scale on its body, every look in its eyes is telling me!

It doesn't want to be imprisoned and abused like slaves and crops! ! "

Link's volume wasn't outrageously loud, especially for the students who had just experienced the sensation of the arena not long ago.

But at this moment, Link's words stopped in their ears, but it also had a deafening effect.

Everyone, including Hermione, who had been a little aggressive before, and the pedestrians passing by all looked at Link with dull expressions.

Emily smiled even brighter.

She took a deep look at Hermione, who still hadn't reacted, and snorted in disdain.

It wasn't until now that she had truly removed Hermione from her rival list, and had truly believed what Link had just told her in the tent.

Link really didn't like Hermione's character.

"Okay, since the misunderstanding has been resolved, let's stop wasting time and go back to the banquet!"

Emily applauded softly, and the tone of the superior and the protagonist awakened everyone.

Although she was a Slytherin, in theory, Hufflepuff shouldn't have bought her account at all.

But at this moment, everyone in Hufflepuff, including John and Cedric, nodded obediently and started walking towards Hogwarts Castle.

Hermione's expression was extremely complicated, standing there like a scarecrow.

Link's words just now made her three views almost shattered.

Harry, who came later, also heard Link's speech, and was comforting Hermione and Ron at this time.

"Miss Granger," Emily said suddenly, standing in front of Hermione, victorious, "would you like to come to our banquet?"

"Hermione, no..."

Harry was anxious to stop him. After all, they were going to hold the same celebration party in Gryffindor tonight. It was outrageous for Hermione to leave her family to attend Hufflepuff's banquet.

But before he could finish speaking, Hermione raised her head stubbornly, looked at Emily and said:

"I'm going!"

"Hehehe! Then come with us!"

Emily covered her mouth and smiled twice, then took Hermione to Hogwarts Castle.

Harry and Ron looked at each other, but in the end they could only keep up.

...

When it comes to banquets, although Gryffindor and Slytherin students can get a lot of good things off-campus by beating privately, the real best is still Hufflepuff.

This is rightfully so.

Not only is Hufflepuff House next door to the Hogwarts kitchen, but thanks to Lady Hufflepuff, the house-elves have had a special fondness for Hufflepuff students for thousands of years.

The direct result of this was that the three of Harry were stunned as soon as they entered the Hufflepuff Academy.

Because although it was afternoon, the Hufflepuff lounge had already been lined up with tables, chairs and tableware.

And after Cedric announced the official start of the celebration banquet, all kinds of delicacies appeared on those plates in an instant.

Whether it is the whole banquet process or the richness of the dishes, it is no worse than the formal banquet at Hogwarts!

"This is really... outrageous!"

Harry said blankly.

The house-elves at Hogwarts could not be invited to a private banquet in Gryffindor House, so everyone could only bring out their own hidden snacks and drinks and gather together to celebrate.

In the old days Harry thought it was fun and rich.

But compared to the exaggerated Hufflepuff celebration party in front of them, the one they held in Gryffindor was like a picnic for elementary school students when they went out for a spring outing, not a banquet at all!

"It's so hearty! Oh! Pumpkin syrup pie? Isn't this a Halloween special? Why is it here?"

Ron pointed to a large pile of pies that exuded a rich aroma and said in amazement.

"This is specially prepared for Mr. Link Foley! Because Mr. Link Foley's favorite food is pumpkin!"

A high-pitched voice suddenly sounded from Harry's feet. He looked down and saw a house-elf with a fancy graffiti pillowcase on his body and a floral sock on his head.

"Harry Potter! Nice to see you again!"

Jia Yang Xiaojing waved to Harry.

"Dobby! Why are you here!?"

Harry was astonished.

Because this house-elf named Dobby was an old friend.

The two of them first met in the second grade, when Dobby, as the house-elf of the Malfoys, came to tip Harry privately, and although it caused a lot of trouble for Harry, they got along pretty well in the end.

Moreover, Harry also played some tricks to get Lucius Malfoy to give Dobby a sock, which allowed Dobby to regain his freedom.

It is always a joy to see old friends again.

Harry's previous small emotions due to the environment were swept away in an instant, and he started chatting with Dobby.

On the other hand, Link's atmosphere looked a little strange.

Most of the people, including Link and Emily, were maintaining a very strange reluctance, listening to Hermione's speeches standing beside Link.

Well, Hermione was holding a big... medal in her hand.

Of course, now that the badge is not engraved with .. (vomit), Hermione used magic to add a letter D for the dragon in the middle of these letters, indicating that she has included the responsibility of protecting the dragon into her. of the House Elf Rights Promotion Association.

And the speech she is giving now is to tell the truth to everyone in Hufflepuff, looking forward to getting everyone's support and participation.

This is the main reason why she agreed to come to Hufflepuff to attend the banquet this time.

Link is the 'big man' member she thinks is the most likely and most promising!

At this time, Emily was no longer happy, lying on Link's back and snickered and said:

"I can't do it! Really! Haha! How can she be so cute! I'm really laughing at me! Is she stupid for reading?"

Link couldn't answer Emily's words, but he still shook his head with a wry smile, looking at Hermione who was giving a speech filled with righteous indignation.

Hermione's idea was so naive.

The profits of the fire dragon industry are extremely amazing. If there is no crushing power and a forward-looking, kind and determined ZF, it will be banned or strictly controlled.

Moreover, the fire dragon industry is also related to the vital interests of thousands of households. Even if the strict control measures are really implemented, it will cause a huge backlash from the people at the bottom.

Just like the hometown of Link's previous life, the use of plastic bags in supermarkets was completely restricted before he came.

As a result, the bottom-level response can be said to be quite….

After all, after many people are used to convenient and cheap plastic bags, it is really difficult to accept expensive and not very durable non-woven bags.

The same example is express packaging, disposable tableware and so on.

The protection of the rights and interests of house-elves is even more troublesome.

Because the enslaved people, the house-elves, were not willing to be free themselves after being brainwashed for so long.

You can't wake up someone who is pretending to be asleep!

Hermione can't even convince the person who needs to be rescued now, how can she make the current vested interests give up their interests?

Both of the above are quite complicated problems, and you can't solve them just by opening her own mouth.

What's more, Hermione's current skills are not very good.

If you want to give a speech, give it a good speech, and it is not impossible for everyone to join the association. After all, your starting point is good.

only……

Hermione's current words are full of her own resentment, and she is scolding in front of them both openly and secretly. These Hufflepuff students are cruel capitalists who exploit house-elves, and the reason is that they are the ones who direct the family to raise children just for their own selfish desires. The elves worked overtime to help them cook so much food without paying wages!

It would be strange if someone would give Hermione a good look when they were being scolded as a dog!

Link sighed and walked out a little disappointed.

He was going to go outside for a walk. After all, the banquet was basically ruined by Hermione.

With everyone's attention on Hermione, including Emily (who loves watching Hermione being hated and hated), Link easily left the Hufflepuff lounge alone. , and all the way to Snape's office.

"I thought you were having a party with the little trolls right now."

As soon as he entered the door, Snape's indifferent voice rang out.

At this time, it was very rare that he was not boiling the potion, but made a cup of coffee and drank it while sitting on the reclining chair.

"It was originally like this, but unfortunately, it was a bit of a disappointment."

Link calmly took a tube of potion from the shelf and drank it, this is the newly developed nutritional supplement for hunger, pumpkin flavored, "By the way, Emily was also attending the banquet in the Hufflepuff lounge, If she knew you said she was a troll..."

Snape's movements froze, and a circle of ripples rippled in the coffee cup in his hand.

Although it was an accidental injury, if Emily really found out, it would be troublesome.

Because Emily was actually very bad, so bad that even Snape would take revenge.

Of course, her revenge would be milder in comparison.

The most commonly used method is probably to run to Snape to cry and pretend to be pitiful, and to condemn Snape for even scolding such a cute and beautiful girl, unless Snape gave her a lot of precious potions and materials, otherwise nonstop.

Thinking of the potion he had been blackmailed by Emily in the past, Snape's expression became a little ugly, and even his attitude towards Link became worse.

"Come on! What are you doing here! What are you doing here!?"

Snape said evilly, according to past experience, this guy Link must have his own purpose.

"Hey! I'm just here to hide!" Link sighed, "Professor Snape, you've really changed! I'm your best student, how can you make such speculations about me!"

Who has changed!

It's me who has been blackmailed and used all the time!

You and Emily were so cute when they were young, how did they become so bad when they grew up!

Snape roared frantically in his heart, but after seeing Link's lost face, his expression softened a bit.

I thought to myself that maybe Link was really just here to hide from the tranquility.

Does this office hold a special place in Link's heart?

Otherwise, wouldn't the Room on Demand be a better choice to just hide from the quiet?

Thinking of this, Snape was even slightly moved.

But before he was moved for long, he heard Link say:

"Actually, there is something I really want to ask Professor Snape for your help with!"

Snape was a little confused, eh? After seeing this, Link scratched his head embarrassedly and said:

"Karkaroff, I always feel that he has a different kind of conspiracy when he comes to Hogwarts this time. Can you help me to test it?"
