Dobby and The Sorting Hat

Pre-Finale

Dobby apologized to Sorting Hat and apperated away. Harry Potter and Cho were still in the Hospital Wing. Dobby turned his back to the two, pretending to clean. He dusted the same spot over and over again, listening.

"Harry..." Dobby heard her sniff. "I have something to tell you."

"What is it?" There was uncertainty in his voice. Dobby felt his heart swell.

"B-before Cedric died, he-"

"Oh, so this is about Cedric now?" Harry Potter's voice was sharp and cold. "I couldn't stop it, okay?" He was a troubled boy. Dobby liked it that way. It made the, seem more mysterious.

"No Harry! Will you listen to me for once?" She sighed and calmed herself down. "Before he died, he told me a secret." Dobby held on to her every word. This was his key to get Harry Potter to fall in love with him. "Cedric's name wasn't actually Cedric."

"What does that have to do with anything?" He was clearly confused.

"It has to do with everything! His name was Edward."

"And?"

"He sparkles in the sun. He often came back with blood covering his mouth. He shared his secret with me, and now I will carry his legacy on."

Harry walked behind her, looking in the distance dramatically. "I know what you are. Say it. Say it out loud."

"Harry-"

"Say it!" He shouted, startling her.

"I-I'm a..." She took a breath. "I'm a bedazzled leech."

Harry Potter pulled back, disgusted. "How dare you talk to me you bedazzled leech? You're an abomination. Get out of my sight!" He put his hands on his hips.

"But Harry-"

"Go! I don't want to see you anymore! I'm in love with Draco anyway!" Dobby silently cheered as she ran out of the room crying. Now that Cho was out of the way, Dobby could make his move.

Draco and Hermione appeared out of nowhere. "And we're in love with each other!", Before Dobby could make sense of what was happening, the doors slammed open dramatically.

"Where is that house elf?" Her high-pitched voice could rival a house elf's. Her fat toes were squished into pink high heels. Dobby knew who she was. Knowing he couldn't hide for long, Dobby stepped out of the shadows.

"It was Dobby, Delores." Dobby hung his head.

Umbridge's eyes filled with tears. "How dare you fall in love with someone off limits? A secret romance? Behind my back?" Dobby's chest tightened as he thought of his love for Harry Potter. Had someone found out? "You hurt my best friend, Dobby. For that you are going to pay!" She pointed her wand at him.

"Who is your best friend? Cornelius Fudge? Dobby would never hurt anyone, Professor. You have the wrong house elf!" Harry Potter came to his rescue, but it was too late. Dobby needed to pay for the things he did, hurting Sorting Hat and splitting up Harry Potter and Cho Chang.

"Cornelius Fudge? My best friend? He just another one of those guys trying to get my attention. But Sorting Hat? He knows. He understands me." Dobby felt her words going through him. He should have stayed with Sorting Hat. His place was not with Harry Potter. "That house elf broke his heart! I bet it was to go after you. Have you seen his goo-goo eyes?"

Harry Potter looked at him with shock and disgust, just like he did with Cho. That seemed like ages ago. Dobby clenched his fists and forced his tears back. "Dobby wanted to stay with Sorting Hat, but-"

Umbridge laughed. "Men, always making excuses." The door slammed open yet again to reveal One Direction looking around. Harry had his shirt off. A stereotypical teenage white girl with startling blue orbs, Ugg boots, and a Starbucks drink slipped and he offered her a hand.

"Need some help, love?"

She blushed. "Just by looking at you I've fallen in love and I am somehow impregnated by Niall even though we just met."

Harry turned away. "How dare you?" He sighed and ran a hand through his luscious locks. "I forgive you. Let's run away from the press and go to an island in the middle of the ocean where the only source of food are Wild Starbucks stores!"

The girl held her baby in one arm and Harry's hand in another. They skipped off into the sunset, looking joyful. The rest of the band members slowly faded into the background. Louis lit up and floated in the air. "Remember, Simba. Remember." Then, they all disappeared.

As if on cue, Sorting Hat hopped into the room. "Oh, Dobby! I'm sorry for telling Delores about us! Will you forgive me?"

Dobby ran into Sorting Hat's nonexistent arms. "Of course I will!" The audience that showed up in all the chaos awwwwed and they, too skipped happily into the sunset.
