Mrs. J.K., Your world, your puppets, my old guy in Harry's head. Mr. Lucas can't claim shit here… I think. Like always, I do this for my own amusement, for free even.

Previous:

A good letter, even when I say so myself… I am perfect. Oh shut up.

5 The list.

Harry groaned: "Have fun he said? When am I supposed to do that? This list is longer than aunt Petunia's chores list. Right, I am going to do as he suggests, and only do the ones I want.

Let's see… all the House Black stuff can wait until the Will is read, next… I am due in Gringotts today, I might as well go over my accounts.

The Girls and the date… I have never been to a theme park. Maybe the Chessington World of Adventures, the kids in school always were bragging about it, even Dudley, I had to stay with Mrs. Fig that day, listening to her cat stories. How do I get there and back? It is not that we can take a portkey, taking a cab will cost me an arm and a leg… public transport with three purebloods? That could be fun, I know! The knight bus. I have to give an address within walking distance from the park. Problem solved."

Good reasoning of my Padawan, the Star Wars trilogy still is the better choice IMO.

Harry pondered over the elf's question: "What is next… Dobby? Oh Dobby, can you tell me if this makes sense? If hostile wizards visit our house, can you take the firewood they bring along?"

Dobby looked at Harry with big eyes: "Master Hary is speaking about those sticks they carry all the time?"

"Yes, Dobby, I mean elves are allowed to gather firewood right? These people probably want to start a fire at our home, so taking the firewood they bring and putting it in the fireplace is only doing your job isn't it?"

Dobby thought for a bit: "Master Harry is right, house elves be taken care of the fireplaces. Those hostile wizards have dirty clothes, Master Harry? Dobby can clean it for them."

"Good thinking Dobby! But before you clean the clothes, you have to remove all the trinkets, like portkeys and potions and stuff. It could damage the robes. Winky? Ah, Winky, did you follow my discussion with Dobby?"

Winky was puzzled: "Master wants Winky to fight bad Wizards?"

Harry shook his head: "No, but I was thinking, gathering firewood and cleaning clothes is a house elf's normal duty isn't it? So if you do that inside the wards you are then just doing your job. Elves can stay invisible during the job yes?"

Slowly Winky nodded: "Inside the wards is the job of elves to keep everything clean, Master. Winky could gather firewood and clean clothes inside the wards."

"That would be great Winky, if hostile Wizards keep that firewood, they would just make our home dirty, or damage it. Now, if you wait a bit, I write a note, oh, can you bring two vials for a memory?… here Winky can you deliver it to Benny, the head elf from House Bones? Tell him the second one is for House Abbot. Tell him it is important."

I have to say my Padawan is impressing me so far, he included the house elves in the defense of the home. I am curious about what he comes up with next.
