His Little Princess

Chapter IV: Raindrops

Ebony ran from Draco's room, crystal tears spilling down her face. Ebony kept running until she came to an old broom closet, she pulled open the rusty door and threw herself inside, knocking over an old Nimbus 2001 in the process. This broom closet had been Ebony's safe haven for as long as she could remember, even though she had never mounted a broom in her whole life, in fear of what her father would do to her. The smell of wood, straw, and broom polish calmed her nerves and the steady stream of tears and gulps of air dissolved into soft splashes of raindrops and small hiccups. 

"Why..." Ebony muttered to herself, " Why did I think he would understand....why did I think anyone would understand?" She knew she was crazy, but a small part of her wished someone would answer her in that tiny broom closet. When no one did, she burst into another fit of tears. Suddenly the closet door creaked open and there stood a frightened looking Teepey, holding what seemed to be, an umbrella. When Teepey saw who was on the other side of the door, she dropped her weapon and began to hit herself in the nose. 

"Bad Teepey! Spying on the mistress! Should! Have! Minded! Own! Business!" She screamed at herself as she began to pull on her ears. 

"Whoa Whoa Whoa!" Ebony cried as she grabbed Teepey's hands and pulled them away from her ears, " There's no need to hurt yourself, I'm not angry...in fact, you should be angry at me! I probably scared you half to death with all my loud um..moaning." Teepey looked at Ebony with wide eyes.

" Teepey is still very sorry......would mistress like some of Teepey's pumpkin bread? " 

Ebony pondered on this for a moment. "Why yes... that sounds lovely." 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

As Ebony ate her pumpkin bread Teepey stared at her, as if waiting for another task to be bestowed upon her. 

"Teepey, are you sure you don't want to sit down and have some pumpkin bread as well?" Ebony asked as she finished her second slice. 

Teepey shook her head, " No no mistress, Teepey has to be ready in case you is wanting another thing done." 

Ebony cracked a small smile, " Teepey, that's very sweet but I promise you I need nothing else done.... and you don't have to call me "mistress" when we're alone." 

Teepey's eyes widened at the very thought but she suddenly shook her head and looked down at the floor. 

" A few years ago there hads been another house elfs. His name was Dobby.  Dobby had always dreamed of freedom... and he would tell Teepey all about what Dobby was going to do when Dobby was a free elf.  Teepey love....thought very highly of Dobby. Then one day Teepey woke up and Dobby was gone....." Teepey shuddered, like she was going to burst into tears, "So now, Teepey prefers to be good house elf, and follow rules....so she does not end up like Dobby...."  The two sat in uncomfortable silence for about three minutes before Teepey "heard" Lucius Malfoy calling and rushed off to go find him.
