The Free Elf
Chapter 1
HERE LIES DOBBY A FREE ELF
Annoying, Frustrating, Difficult & Weird. These are all terms that I would associate with Dobby. He was also generous, kind, loyal & overwhelmingly passionate about keeping people safe. If you were good to him he would be good to you.
When he was in service he served as the Malfoys house elf. It was June 1993 when Harry Potter helped to free him. It was quite a long drama and the story went around the school like wild fire. A fellow Gryffindor, and friend was taken into the Chamber of Secrets. Led by my father or perhaps a memory is more precise.
DUMBLEDORE: When the Governors learned that Arthur Weasley’s daughter was taken into the chamber they saw fit to summon me back.
LUCIUS: Ridiculous
DUMBLEDORE: Curiously, Lucius, several of them were under the impression that you would curse their families if they did not agree to suspend me in the first place.
LUCIUS: How dare you.
DUMBLEDORE: I beg your pardon?
LUCIUS: My sole concern has always been and will always be the welfare of this school, and of course its students. (pause) The culprit has been identified I presume?
DUMBLEDORE: Oh Yes.
LUCIUS: And? Who was it?
DUMBLEDORE: Voldemort
LUCIUS: Ah
DUMBLEDORE: Only this time he chose to act through somebody else, by means of this.
LUCIUS: I see
DOBBY: Hmm Hmm!!!
DUMBLEDORE: Fortunately, our young Mr Potter discovered it. One hopes that no more of Lord Voldemort’s old
school things should find their way into innocent hands. The consequences for the one reasonable would be severe.
LUCIUS: Well, let us hope that Mr Potter will always be around to save the day.
HARRY: Don’t worry I will be.
LUCIUS: Dumbledore, Come Dobby! we’re leaving.
DOBBY: Ahh!!! Ohh!!!
HARRY: Umm Sir, I wonder if I could have that? Mr Malfoy! Mr Malfoy! I have something of yours.
LUCIUS: Mine? I don’t know what you’re talking about!
HARRY: Oh, I think you do Sir. I think you slipped the diary into Ginny Weasley’s cauldron that day at Diagon Alley?
LUCIUS: You do, do you? Why don’t you prove it? Come Dobby.
HARRY: Open it!
DOBBY: Master has given Dobby a sock!
LUCIUS: What? I didn’t gi-
DOBBY: Master has presented Dobby with clothes! Dobby is FREE!!!
LUCIUS: You lost me my SERVANT!!!
DOBBY: You shall not harm Harry Potter!!!
