The Potter Twins In The Chambers

House Elf More like Naughty Elf

Chapter 2: House Elf More Like Naughty Elf

As soon as both me and Harry reach the top of the stairs the door bell rings "Mr. and Mrs Mason! Do come in!" I roll my eyes at there false nice suck-up states there in as I open the door to our bedroom. I halt in my actions as a creature jumps up and down madly laughing on Harry's bed enjoying his fun he doesn't notice either me or my brother watching him from the door way.

Harry slowly and quietly closes the bedroom door trying not to startle him as he jumps happily on the bed with the click of the door the elf like creature snaps his head in our direction he wasn't startled like I have expected him to be instead he actually seemed ecstatic.

"Harry, Willow Potter! Such an Honour it is!" he jumps over to my bed closer towards the both of us a big grin on his face I put Gizmo down and his reaction to the strange elf in our bedroom is to go sleep on Harry's bed. Such a defender of the room there Gizmo.

"Who are you" Harry questions the elf, the elf bows in respect smiling "Dobby sir, Dobby the House elf" Dobby the house elf, I had read about House Elves from one of the books I borrowed from Hermione when we were at Hogwarts, Loyal magical creatures bound to their owners as servants for life. So the question is who is this House elf loyalty to and who is his owner?

"Not to be rude or anything, but this is not a great time for us to have a House Elf in our bedroom" Harry tries to sweetly as he actually can kick out the house elf. "Oh, oh yes sir! Dobby understands! It's just that Dobby has come to tell you... it is difficult, sir... Dobby wonders where to begin?". Dobby scratches his head in frustration as he looks up at us in question.

"Why don't you sit down" I smile at Dobby as I take a seat on my bed patting a space next to me Dobby's eyes start to water as he looks to me confused "S...sit down? S...sit down?" he wails out crying I sit back dumbstruck not really sure what happened. I only asked him to sit down with me. Harry is quick to react to Dobby's crying "Dobby shhh!" he cries louder which sets my nerves on edge cause if Dobby is too loud and any of the Dursleys or the Masons hear us, both me and Harry are going to be in major trouble. 

"I'm sorry! I didn't mean to offend you or anything Dobby" I lower my voice hoping he also gets the need to be quiet to which he does stop crying and sits down looking at me intently "Offend Dobby? Dobby has heard of your greatness Miss, but never has he been asked to sit down by a witch or wizard like an equal".

I forgot that House-elves are basically treated like slaves so to be asked to sit down for something as simple for anyone else it is a big thing for them as they are not treated as an equal maybe this whole Dobby situation has to be seen differently try and do or say things that wont offend him and to act in other words like a drama elf.

"You cant have met many decent Wizards then" Harry asks as he sits down on my bed as we both watch Dobby intently, "No, I haven't" he pauses for a second seeming like he had only just noticed what he said "that was an awful thing to say" he gets up rather quickly and then starts to bang his head on the small unit that sits in between both mine and Harrys bed repeatedly.

"Bad Dobby! Bad Dobby! Bad Dobby!"

My brother's face grows anxious as he tries to quiet and shh down the self-punishment that the house elf has created for himself, without thinking i place my hand in between Dobby's head and the unit when he pulls back to bang his head again he hits my hand smashing his head against it harshly at least he is not full-blown hitting his head on the wooden unit. I bite my lip as he keeps going not realizing the unit is now a little softer than before "Bad Dobby!"

Dobby soon realizes and pulls back away looking at my now red hand from the harsh knocks from his head, he looks up at me full of tears in his eyes "Dobby please stop and please be quiet. Are you all right?" I rub my now red hand as I look down at the small House Elf "Dobby had to punish himself, Miss, he almost spoke ill of his family and now has hurt you, Miss." Dobby looks angry with himself as I give him a comforting smile "I'm fine, but Your family?" I question as Dobby just stares at my hand.
