In a small cottage in Hogsmeade, Alice Longbottom sat on the floor. She was bored. Her father was at work, and her baby brother was taking a nap. Her mother usually paid more attention to her, but right now she had a visitor. While Alice made her little toy horse run around, she could hear her mother and Hermione talking to each other. She was not sure what the adults were talking about.
"More and more house elves are being set free," Hermione said. "Most of them are now employed by and still live with their former masters, but it's a start."
"That makes sense," her mother said. "Most of them probably don't know how to do things like use money."
"Yeah. I feel like I need a new cause. You wouldn't have any ideas, would you?"
"I do. I believe that not only are witches and wizards not superior to muggles but that we should all stop hiding from muggles.

Her mother looked toward the door and smiled, as the door opened.
