Freedom


"Winky," Hermione said to the elf listlessly dusting a table. "Winky, come here a moment."

It was nearly two in the morning, and Hermione had been up most of the night making S.P.E.W flyers.

"What do you think of this poster?"

The elf shook her head. "Winky doesn't understand. What is 'spew'?"

Hermione beamed. "It's the Society for the Promotion of Elfish Welfare. I'm going to free the house elves! Aren't you happy?"

Winky frowned. "No miss. Winky never wanted to be a free elf."

Hermione furrowed her brow. "Of course you did, Winky. You just haven't realized it yet."
