Also, Sirius, concerned about Harry's safety, is returning to England with [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Buckbeak|Buckbeak]], although Harry rightly fears he may have endangered Sirius by writing to him about his scar hurting. And though Sirius' concern and devotion for his godson is commendable and shows how much he loves Harry, his decision seems rather reckless; just how Sirius can help Harry while remaining a hunted fugitive is uncertain. This all causes Harry even more stress and turmoil and could even put him at risk.
 
Finally, Hermione championingadvocating rights for [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Magic/House Elf|House-elves]] (that they actually do not want) formally begins in this chapter. Although S.P.E.W. becomes a smaller subplot in later books, Hermione continues to believe, quite correctly, that House-elves are a slave caste and should be freed. She fails to consider, however, that freedom must be carefully orchestrated if Elves are to survive and thrive without discrimination or retribution within the Wizarding world. Simply turning loose what most Wizards consider an inferior race (even more so than other non-human magical folk) would create extreme hardship, just as Winky is likely experiencing, now that she is without a master. Even the more resourceful and adaptable Dobby was unemployed until Dumbledore intervened. It would take a huge effort to realign both the general Wizarding population's attitude and the House-elves' thinking to accept House-elves as equal and free agents. Hermione should probably study how emancipated slaves fared following the American Civil War in the mid-1860s. Although former slaves were now free U.S. citizens, they struggled against severe discrimination, hatred, violence, and poverty while attempting to assimilate into a white, patriarchal-dominated society, all while lacking (and being denied) adequate education, jobs, legal rights, and other opportunities. As in the Wizard world, more than one race was discriminated against: Irish, Asians, Hispanics, Italians, etc. were routinely denied equal opportunities based solely on their ethnicity. However, much like other non-human magical folk in Wizard society, these particular ethnic groups were never enslaved, and they had functioned within their home countries as free citizens and many had at least a rudimentary education. Also, immigrants were often able to establish their own small, protective communities while gradually integrating themselves into American culture, whereas freed slaves created a sudden and rather chaotic influx into a new social order in which there was little oversight, resulting in extensive corruption, abuse, and exploitation. Over a century later, these struggles are still existent and are likely similar to what House-elves would experience.
