Magical Decree #1

An official update from the Ministry of Magic, signed by Hermione Weasley, current Minister for Magic.

The house elves are officially free.  It is now unlawful to have a house elf working without adequate pay.  Any house elf in need of employment or housing or assistance in any form, may come to the Ministry.     

S.P.E.W. is a new sub-department in the Ministry that assists House-Elfs with employment, housing, and legal representation if needed.  Feel free to visit the Ministry today if you need assistance!
