Dobby was really weird. The books just casually tell us slavery exists, and Harry frees one slave. Then in the next book, nobody talks about slavery at all. And then in the one after that, it turns out most elves actually like being enslaved. What the fuck.

Didn't Harry start a whole antislavery group thing?

Hermione did, and somewhere in the lore ~~she abolished it when she became minister~~ "greatly improving life for..." is how its phrased.

she abolished it when she became minister

Do you have a source for this? I can't find any mention of her abolishing any of her previous policy changes.

Prior to being elected minister, she did work for the Department for the Regulation and Control of Magical Creatures:

After leaving Hogwarts, Hermione Granger spent some years working in this Department, "where she was instrumental in greatly improving life for house-elves and their ilk"

After reading a ton of the wiki page, it appears I have misremembered.

I think I took "greatly improving life" to mean no longer slave, because otherwise we're just being lied to.
