Childhood Friend (A Harry Potter Fan-Fiction) Book 2 Harry Potter X Male OC

Chapter 11: Dobby

Harry fidgets in the dark, half-asleep, then his eyelids flutter slowly open. After a while he bolts up.

"Leon!" Harry screamed

"Hey" I said laughing taking off his invisible cloak and sitting it in a chair

"What are you doing!?"

"At first I was sneaking into the kitchen for pudding, but then I thought madam pomfrey has the best pudding"

"You can't be here!"

"To late I am."

Then a creature appeared.

"Ah!" I jumped on Harry's bed

"Dobby!"

"Harry Potter came back to school. Dobby warned him. Harry Potter should have listened to Dobby."

"Harry what did you do now?" I said looking at Harry

"Leon Elliott"

"Uh...yes...sir? Right sir?"

"Sir? Nobody called Dobby a sir before"

"You are one? Right."

"I like you." Dobby turned back to Harry Potter

"Harry Potter should have gone back home when he missed the train." Dobby continued

"How does he know about that?" I asked

"It was you! You stopped the barrier from letting Leon, Ron and me through!"

"Harry chill out!"

"Indeed yes, sir. Dobby hid and watched for Harry Potter and Leon Elliott and sealed the gateway." Dobby admits

"You nearly got us expelled!"

"Maybe if you let me drive, we wouldn't have been in the situation." I said folding my arms

"At least you would be away from here. Harry Potter, Leon Elliott must go home! Dobby through the Bludger would be enough to make Leon Elliott and Harry Potter see-"

"Your Bludger? You made that Bludger chase after us?"

"I would have thought the Malfoy's did it?" I said shrugging

"Dobby feels most aggrieved, sir." Dobby said waggling his hands. "Dobby had to iron his hands..."

"Why would you do that to yourself?" I asked concerned

"You'd better clear off before my bones come back, Dobby, or I might strangle you!" Harry and held him back with my one arm

"Harry! Harry! Stop!"

Dobby smiled weakly.
"Dobby is used to death threats, sir. Dobby gets them five times a day at home."

"That's...awful." I said letting go of Harry

"I don't suppose you could tell me why you're trying to kill us?" Harry asked angry

"Not kill you, sir, never kill you guys!" Dobby remembers how it was before Harry Potter and Leon Elliott triumphed over He Who Must Not Be Named. We house elves were treated like vermin, sir. Of course, Dobby is still treated like vermin..." Dobby said honking his nose on a filthy piece for fabric that he wears.

"Why do you wear that thing, Dobby?" I asked

"This, sir? 'Tis a mark of the house elf's enslavement. Dobby can only be freed if his master presents him with clothes. The family is careful not to pass Dobby so much as a sock, sir, for then he would be free to leave their house forever." Dobby ears quiver and he starts to whisper.

"Terrible things are about to happen at Hogwarts! Leon Elliott, Harry Potter must not stay here now that history is to repeat itself!"

"Repeat itself? You mean, this has happened before?" Harry asked

Dobby seizes the Skele-Gro, beats himself about the head. I tried grabbing the Skele-Gro from him.

"Tell me, Dobby? When did this happen before? Who's doing it now?" Harry asked

"Just tell him, sir." I said struggling to get it out his grip.

"Dobby cannot say, sir. Dobby only wants Leon Elliott and Harry Potter to be safe."

"No, Dobby! Tell me! Who is it?" Harry demanded

Out of nowhere Dobby is gone and I have the skele-gro in my hands. Shadows flicker beyond the curtain encircling Harry's bed. Harry slumps down...peering through a slit in the curtains. I grabbed the invisible cloak and put it on quickly. Dumbledore was in a nightcap, Professor McGonagall was in a tartan robe, heave a small statue onto a empty bed. Seconds later, Madam Pomfrey bustles in.

"What happened?" Madam Pomfrey asked concerned

"There's been another attack." Dumbledore answered

Madam Pomfrey gasped.

"Perhaps he managed to get a picture of his attacker..." Professor McGonagall suggested

Dumbledore opens a camera, a jet of steam hissed forth.

"What does this mean, Albus?" Professor McGonagall says

"It means our students are in great danger, Minerva. Mr. Creevey was fortunate. If not for this..." Dumbledore answered holding up the camera. "He would surely be dead."

"What should I tell the staff, Albus?" Professor McGonagall asked

"Tell them the truth. Tell them Hogwarts is no longer safe. Tell them it's as we feared. The Chamber of Secrets is indeed open again."
