 House elves that want change #1 be curious, not judgmental
Becca was taking in everyone's responses to make her decision on what she wanted to support. Lainey's opinion of house elves and her love of animals made her indecisive - she wasn't really sure what to believe. But, after hearing the discussions of many of her classmates, Becca stood up and took her spot.
"Hey. My name is Becca Parker and I'm supporting house elves that want change. I think that many house elves have no idea how much different things could be, but the ones that DO realize things could be different are too afraid to stand up for themselves and flat out tell wizards, 'Hey, this isn't right!' Y'know? I think house elves should have a choice - to work for wizards if they want, or... to not. But they shouldn't be forced to and brainwashed into thinking it's what's best."
She paused to look around at the class. "Yeah, sure, they're helpful and all, but they just shouldn't be forced to do something they don't want to do. Like, if they have a horrible master they shouldn't be forced to stay and suffer! Look at goblins and house elves for a moment. They look sort of similar, right? And maybe I'm going out on a limb here, but they both talk and are capable of doing many, many things! So I say we give house elves a chance and let them choose what they want to do! House elves for change! YEEEAH!"
She thought she was cool.
