Chapter 14 - House elfs

Hermione POV

Snapes dark mark burned in class yesterday. Its never done that before.

Voldemort was calling him.

I wonder why?

I've never really liked Proffessor Snape.

He has a mysterious way about him.

It was 10 to 6 and i was sitting in the common room writing a paper on werewolfs. I had already wrote 2000 words and only had 300 to go.

Alice walked in and slumped down on to a chair, "Morning".

"Morning Alice," I replied, "Whats up with you being up at this time?

"Couldn't sleep. My scar was hurting."

I looked at Alice with pity. Her scar was hurting alot recently.

I could tell it really hurt.

I streched i had finnished my paper. I looked over at Alice.

She was fast asleep. I smiled and got up and pulled a blanket out.

I threw it over her small body. Her black hair was hanging in tangles around her shoulders.

I opened the portrait and walked out.

The corridors were empty. It was 20 past 6 after all.

I went down the stairs to the kitchen to see the house elfs.

I hated the way house elfs were treated.

They were made to act like SLAVES!

Some say they like it.

How can they!!

I wouldn't like to be a slave. I don't think any one would.

So why should we treat house elfs any different!

I stroaked the pear on the portrait and let my self in.

The kitchen was busy with the hundreds of house elfs working.

Stiring, pouring, mixing, baking.

The kitchen was a flurry of activity.

The house elfs spotted me. The immediatly came over to me offering me food.

I took a crossiant to be polite.

I cleared my throat.

"Hello all you little house elfs!"

The elfs looked starteled.

"Emm could i please speak to you," I pointed to a little femail elf, "Over here?"

The elfs nodded and scurried back to their work.

The little elf creaped up behind me.

"Miss how could i help you today?"

I sat down on a stool.

"I am going to ask you a few questions. Do you like working?"

"Yes miss i do," she answered.

"Do you see yourself as a slave?"

"No miss. I like to help people."

I nodded at the little elf, "Don't you want to be free?"

The little elf looked shocked. I continued, "Wouldn't you want to be paid and go where you like?"

The elf stood up, "I'm sorry miss but are you going to free me? I don't want to be freed! I like working here!"

"I think it would be best if you left now," a male house elf told me pushing me out.

More house elfs helped him.

"I'm sorry little elf!" I cried as i was pushed out the door.

The little elf was crying hystericaly.

I was so sorry.

I walked in to the great hall.

Ron and Alice were at the table.

Alice ran over to me, "Hermione!" she greeted me, " Do you want to hear the good news or bad news first?"

"Emm good news?" I asked.

"Well our first Hogsmead visit is tommorow! Its going to be great!"

I grined with Alice and Ron, "Ok well whats the bad news?"

Alice gulped, "I have a detention with Snape. Tonight at 7."

"How..." I started.

"I don't know," She replied, "I can't think of any reason at all."
