Zoe's POV
We were now inside the Great Hall, eating our supper, yet harry and Ron were no where to be seen. What if Dobby really did made sure that Harry doesn't go to Hogwarts? I reckon Ron wasn't in the plan but since the both of them are always together he wasn't able to ride the train as well.
"What will happen? If Harry and Ron don't show up at all?" Ginny asked, worried.
"Harry and Ron would repeat second year I guess.." Hermione said, and the look on her face showed that she hoped that wouldn't happen.
"I've had a talk with Draco about house elves," I said, and their attention was on me, "he said that they had more than one house elf, but there was one particular house elf that followed Mr. Malfoy, Draco said this elf probably knows everything about his master."
"Did you get to ask the name?" Hermione asked.
"Yes.. But before he could tell me the house elf's name, Pansy came barging in the compartment." I said and she had a look of disappointment. I feel dissapointed as well, I mean if Pansy didn't come and ruined our conversation then I would finally figure out what's the name of the bloody house elf.
Professor Dumbledore has now told us to go to our dormitories for a good night sleep, since classes start tomorrow. So we stood up and followed Percy. I'm going to sleep in the Gryffindor dorm because I missed the warmth it gave me, the feeling that I'm always welcome. It's just warm and bright and welcoming. If you don't know it yet, I'm a Slythindor, half Slytherin, half Gryffindor, first of my kind. This means that I get to sleep in two dorms, I can relax on two common rooms and I give both houses points if a professor gives me one.
Don't get me wrong, I love to sleep in the Slytherin dormitories because we all have our own bedroom! You've got a Queen-sized bed, silky warm blankets and soft pillows. If you compare both dormitories I'd say that Slytherin dormitories are cold, but cozy, you don't get to interact with a lot of dorm mates because they either go outside or stay in their rooms, doing Salazar knows what.
Anyway, as we entered the Gryffindor common room, my eyes were wide in surprise as I saw Harry and Ron on the couch.
"Are you seeing what I'm seeing?" Ginny asked, not looking away at the both of them
I nodded and I saw in my peripheral view that Hermione did as well. I walked towards them, Ginny and Hermione following behind, and stopped in front of Harry and Ron.
"Hi." the both of them said.
"Where. on. Earth. have. you. both. been?!" Hermione asked while hitting them with a large pillow. I had to look up and cough to stop myself from laughing as both boys had a look of pain.
"I'll leave you guys.. I'm sleepy." Ginny said and dashed her way to the girls' bedroom.
I shook my head and sat beside Harry as Hermione sat beside Ron.
"You've got some explaining to do." I said and looked at them
"We didn't get in the platform." Harry simply said.
"And why is that?" Hermione asked.
"The entrance was blocked. Harry and I dashed from platforms 9 and 10 but it was solid as rock! We both crashed on the floor and everyone was looking at us!" Ron said, his ears red in embarassment.
"AHA!" I shouted as I stood up. It was as if a light bulb lighted on top of my head. As I faced the three of them, I gave them a smile.
"I have a suspicion that Dobby has something to do with this."
"Dobby? Wait.. You know Dobby?" Harry asked as he stood up as well.
"Yes... I saw him wandering in your front yard and discovered that Dobby is the reason why you haven't received any letters from Ron and Hermione and also the reason why we haven't talked at all this summer." I said and he nodded eagerly.
"Exactly! I saw Dobby in my bedroom the night before you rescued me. He was warning me about Voldemort coming back."
As Harry said Voldemorts name, Ron shuddered. I sighed. They still fear Voldemort's name.
"That's what Dobby also told me when I almost strangled him to death."
"Strangled him to death?!" Harry asked unbelievingly.
"I said almost. Plus, I won't kill Dobby, the poor thing receives too much punishment! I only did that so that he could talk." I said defensively.
"What we're trying to figure out here is WHO is Dobby's master." Hermione said
"Wait... wait.. wait a second.." Ron said as he stood up and looked at us in confusion
"Who the bloody hell is Dobby? What are you lot talking about?"
Harry took a deep breath and explained to Ron everything until finally, our red-haired best friend nodded in understanding.
"We have a suspicion that Mr. Malfoy is Dobby's master, but we're still not sure about that." Hermione said
"Yes.. and do not worry, I'm already interrogating Draco." I added.
"Alright. So we shall investigate about Dobby's master. We'll eventually figure out who this person is." Harry said with a determined face. The three of us nodded in agreement.
"It's already late.. Why don't we just go to our bedrooms and sleep? Classes are beginning early tomorrow and I don't want to be late." Hermione said
I nodded in agreement and made a lazy wave before running to our bedroom.
Tomorrow is a start of another beginning and I hope that this school year wouldn't bring more problems in our lives.
