"Cope you are right that Dobby after being freed, still searched for work at Hogwarts and assisting Harry. But one thing that has just come to me is that you said he could have traveled and raised awareness of House Elves. But really that would be nearly impossible at this time period. Because if you remember what state the Ministry and Wizarding World was at the time. Minister of Magic, Cornelious Fudge, didn't believe Harry potter or Albus Dumbledore about Voldemort's obvious return, and more he didn't even care about Goblin squabbles or centaur riots that were very important at the time. Today Dobby may have had a chance to do what you said, but today's Ministry is much more understanding and there are lots of people that are willing to help the cause." Chris said taking a breath after long speech.

Jack didn't feel like arguing with Anna again--because duh, he'd lose. He had given it a shot, though. And that was all that mattered. Instead, he turned to Chris, who was also against his stance, and cleared his throat once more.

"While it is definitely true that today's Ministry is more understand, Prefect Potter, wouldn't that mean that, if house elves WERE unhappy with the way things were being run, that they would stand up for themselves now? As you said, we have a much more tolerant Ministry than we ever had during Dobby's time--and therefore, the House Elves would have no fear of coming out and taking a stand. But because none of them have stepped forward to speak on behalf of their rights, I think that leads us to believe that House Elves are not unhappy with their current conditions."

"And while it is also true that there are undoubtly people out there who mistreat house elves," Jack continued, "It is also true that classes, such as our History of Magic class, are teaching us about the history of these creatures and therefore teaching us tolerance. House elves are now serving a generation that has been taught to treat them with kindness, therefore making their lives much more enjoyable. Serving is and most likely always WILL be a joy for the elves, and the more people we have who treat them with kindness in return, the more they'll enjoy their jobs."
