"Thank you. It's an old family recipe."

Argyle is perplexed by the wizard's question. "Why would a house elf want or need to do things like that? Argyle is perfectly happy working in the kitchens here at Hogwarts."

Argyle also listens to the answers the Ministry lady gives to the children's questions. "Argyle does not know for sure, but most house elves are happy with their families. The professors and students here are Argyle's family. Argyle loves them, so Argyle has no need for the Ministry Lady. Children do not understand that Dobby's story is the exception to the rule and not the norm."

If malnutrition, lack of warmth, no dental help and, as far as she could tell, lack of education weren't indicators enough, then they should have another parameters for judging. Wonders if it is... beatings.

"Please do." Ethan nodded, "Thank you for the refreshments. Everyone may help themselves and I do hope you are listening to Georgi... Ms Mayes. If anyone has any questions for her at all relating to house elves, or questions for the elves, now is the time to ask."

"I just would like to hear their ancient history, if they may?" she turned her eyes to the house-elves, waiting for one of them to respond.

"You will have to ask Master Truebridge about that. Argyle is a guest professor in Master Truebridge's class. Argyle cannot discuss things Master Truebridge does not want discussed. Argyle is also not sure if House Elves' History is also History of Magic. Master Truebridge?"
