I tried waiting the rest of the day, pacing back and forth in the commons. I eventually got bored with myself and wandered aimlessly around the castle.

As I climbed up stairs, turned corners, and walked down corridors, I eventually came to stand in front of a painting of fruit.

Unlike the other magical paintings around the school, this one looked very non-magical. I ran the tips of my fingers across the canvas and traced the fruit. When I reached the pear and started tracing it, it giggled.

Wait... What?

As I stared at the painting and it swung open to reveal elves of all sorts running through a room.

A kitchen I think.

When I walked through, a lot of the elves ran up to me. They all held out plates if food, from treacle tarts to strawberry shortcake.

Yumm!

"Hello miss!" It the elf who was holding the shortcake. He had large green eyes and long ears. "I is Dobby! Would miss be liking some cake?"

Awww! He's so nice!

"Yes please! Thank you Dobby! Would you like some too?" I asked kindly.

Dobby's eyes grew wide and he shook his head, leading me over to a table in the corner. "Dobby is not allowed to eat with miss. Good house elves are below wizards and witches!"

I thought for a second. "What if you didn't eat then? What if you just sat with me and we talked while I ate?"

Dobby thought for a minute. "Dobby thinks that miss is very smart and kind. Miss reminds Dobby of his friend Harry Potter."

I brightened as we sat down. Dobby barely came up to the middle of my waist next to me on the bench. "Do you know Harry too, Dobby?"

"Yes miss! Dobby does! Dobby saved Harry Potter last year from the heir of Slytherin! Harry Potter freed Dobby from the Malfoy's last year!"

"Really? What happened? I wasn't exactly what you would call 'awake' last year..."

Dobby looked at me awkwardly. "What does miss mean by awake?"

"You tell me about your story and I'll tell you about mine. How about that Dobby?"

"Dobby would like that, miss."

So while I snacked on delicious strawberry shortcake, Dobby told my about the things that had happened from when he showed up second year to present date. When he was done I told him about the curse I was put under, and how I had been asleep all this time.

When I finally noticed the time, I jumped up. It was already time for me to get ready! I had less than an hour to get ready for emotional crap.

"Thank you so much Dobby, but I must be going now. I have to get ready for the feast." I told him frantically.

Crap. I'm already behind schedule!

"Not to worry miss! Dobby will help you!" Dobby snapped his fingers. I felt all the grime and dirt, from earlier when I walked around the grounds, recede from my body. There was the soft rustle of fabric moving and I looked down to see that my uniform had appeared on my body.

"Thanks Dobby!" I genuinely smiled for the first time since I woke up. He smiled back.

"Excuse us miss, but we's don't know miss's name." A squeaky voice came from behind me. I turned around to see a small elf, with wide green eyes and smaller ears than Dobby had.
