missing space; shift the House-elf exposition to G.P. because we still haven't seen Dobby and Winky

As they leave the classroom, Hermione notices Neville is extremely shaken. Professor Moody approaches and takes Neville aside. He also asks if Harry is all right, and says that Harry has to know (the implication being that he should know about the curse that killed his parents). Moody then takes Neville to his office for a cup of tea, while Hermione and Ron wonder what that is about. When they return to the common room after dinner, Neville is reading a book Professor Moody gave him titled, ''Magical Mediterranean Water-Plants and Their Properties'', and says [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Pomona Sprout|Professor Sprout]] told Moody that he is adept at [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Magic/Herbology|Herbology]].
 
Harry and Ron start their [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Magic/Divination|Divination]] homework, but as usual, it is too confusing, and they revert to inventing their own predictions. Harry notices [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Fred and George Weasley|Fred and George]] working on a parchment. George, scratching out a line, says, "No, that sounds like we're accusing him. Got to be careful." But Harry's homework is more important, so he returns to his fabrication. As they finish, Hermione returns from the library with the beginnings of an organization she calls [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Major Events/S.P.E.W.|S.P.E.W.: the Society for the Promotion of Elfish Welfare]]. She lays out how the society will work and coerces Harry and Ron into being officers. [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Hedwig|Hedwig]] appears at the window with a message from [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Sirius Black|Sirius Black]]. Sirius writes that Harry's painful scar, coupled with other things he has heard, concerns him, and he is returning to England. Harry frets, convinced he has summoned Sirius into danger. If Sirius is captured, Harry could never forgive himself. A peeved Harry shoos away the hungry Hedwig, who angrily flies off to the Owlery to find something to eat.

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 advocating rights for [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Magic/House Elf|House-elves]] (that they actually do not want) formally begins in this chapter. We can expect to see S.P.E.W. appear in later books.
Finally, Hermione advocating 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.▼

{{Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Intermediate Spoiler}}
 
Harry and the other students are unaware that Neville Longbottom's parents, [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Frank Longbottom|Frank]] and [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Alice Longbottom|Alice]], are permanently committed to [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Places/St. Mungo's Hospital for Magical Maladies and Injuries|St. Mungo's Hospital]]. When we and Harry learn this later, it is also revealed that Moody was present at the Death Eaters' trial, and thus knows that they tortured the Longbottoms into insanity using the Cruciatus curse. This sheds some light on these occurrences, as it is meant to; we suddenly understand why Neville became so upset while watching the curse demonstration and why Moody apparently took such pains to comfort him. In the final chapter, however, it is revealed that [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Barty Crouch Jr.|Barty Crouch, Jr.]] has been impersonating the real Professor Moody by using Polyjuice Potion. He was among the four Death Eaters sentenced to Azkaban for torturing the Longbottoms to insanity using the Cruciatus Curse. It may seem that Crouch (as Moody) is showing compassion to one whose parents he drove insane, though that is actually keeping in character with what the real Moody probably would have done under the same circumstances. And while Crouch giving Neville the Herbology book seems like yet another magnanimous gesture to help boost Neville's low self-esteem, it is actually because the book contains information that Crouch wants passed on to Harry to help him win the Tournament, thus leading Harry into Voldemort's trap. Crouch likely orchestatedorchestrated the Cruciatus demonstration hoping it would upset the sensitive Neville, solely to give Crouch an opportunity to present him the Herbology book without his motives appearing suspicious. This extreme deviousness illustrates, upon reflection, something unsavory about Crouch's character in particular, and perhaps Death Eaters in general. Also, Barty's comment that Snape and Karkaroff are "old acquaintances," may not only be truthful, implying that he knew them as fellow Death Eaters, but it also demonstrates a rather perverse sense of humor. Considering that Snape and Karkaroff betrayed Voldemort, Barty's sarcastic comment could have the same double-entendre implication as what the real Alastor Moody would mean had he said it.
 
The Twins are writing to [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Ludovic Bagman|Ludo Bagman]]. This subplot runs throughout the year, as Ludo welshes on paying the Twins their winnings. Ludo clearly fears his other debtors, the [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Magic/Goblin|Goblins]], far more than the Twins, knowing the Goblins can inflict serious injury if they are unpaid; when Ludo's debts finally go completely sour at the book's end, he goes into hiding, leaving the Twins and the Goblins without being paid.
