Harry Potter: Dobby & the girl

Chapter II

One evening, after all the students had retired to their dormitories, Dobby prepared for his grand declaration. He borrowed a few shiny decorations from the Great Hall: a glittery goblet here, a sparkly fork there, and even a floating feather (which he quickly returned after it started to tickle his nose). "Dobby will make a romantic setting!" he said to himself, proudly arranging the items on a small table in the common room. It looked a bit like a chaotic jewelry shop after an earthquake, but Dobby felt ready. He just needed Sarah to come. And so, he waited... and waited... until, eventually, he dozed off, dreaming of chocolate frogs and singing socks. Meanwhile, Sarah had just finished a long Quidditch practice and was wandering back to the common room, muttering about how she could have easily scored if Harry hadn't intercepted her. She entered and saw the bizarre, sparkly table filled with shiny objects. "Whoa! What's this?" she said, laughing to herself as she approached the random display. That's when Dobby, waking up with a snort, jumped out and squeaked, "Dobby has a surprise for Miss Sarah!" The loud noise startled the poor girl, sending her backward into the pile of laundry Dobby had been stacking. Clothes flew everywhere, but Sarah couldn't help but laugh. "Um, what's going on here, Dobby?" she asked, her eyes twinkling with amusement. "Dobby has prepared a surprise to tell Miss Sarah that Dobby... Dobby has feelings!" he shouted, throwing his hands dramatically in the air. "Feelings of admiration and affection!" Sarah chuckled, her laughter echoing off the walls. "Dobby, are you asking me out on a date? Because if so, I must warn you—I've only got a chocolate frog and some old Bertie Bott's Beans." "Bertie Bott's Beans? Dobby loves those! Dobby will wear his best sock!" He paused. "Wait, Dobby doesn't have a best sock—Dobby will wear all of his socks!"[6:08 AM]"What a classic house-elf move," Sarah teased, still giggling. "Okay, how about this: I'll join you for some Bertie Bott's Beans, and you can show me your favorite laundry spells." So, an impromptu date began, complete with Dobby showcasing his impressive sock-folding abilities and introducing Sarah to the magical world of laundry charms. Laughter filled the room like a charm, turning the mundane into the extraordinary. "Dobby didn't know love could feel this way!" he exclaimed after Sarah dared him to juggle three socks using magic, failing but succeeding hilariously. As the night wrapped up, Dobby, with his heart swelling with joy, finally realized: love didn't need fancy decorations or grand gestures; it simply needed a shared moment of laughter and friendship—along with some very weird wizarding snacks. And as for Sarah? She grinned widely, already imagining all the adventures a house-elf and a muggle-born witch could have together. A love story filled with odd socks, flying laundry, and laughter was just beginning at Hogwarts, thanks to one quirky house-elf named Dobby. --- And so they laughed, spun, and danced throughout the castle, proving that unexpected love—like magic—is always just around the corner. Or, in Dobby's case, behind a pile of laundry
