For the Hogwarts Speed Drabble :)

Prompts: blue, freedom, "I think I've had enough."


"I... I think I've had enough now," Dobby stated hesitantly, puffing out his chest slightly and clinging onto the ragged and worn sock. The house elf had to stop himself from calling Lucius "Master." Freedom was weird.

Lucius could barely form words or noises. He merely stomped around angrily, made wild gestures, and kept opening his mouth just to snap it shut again.

Next to Dobby, Harry stood, and unable to help himself, snorted out laughter briefly.

"You- you- you betrayed me!" the Malfoy screamed out lividly, finally able to find words. "I'll get you back on this, Potter! You'll regret freeing my house elf!"

Dobby stepped forward, and coughed. "I- I hate you, Lucius Malfoy! You treated me like scum and I'm glad to be free!" The house elf nearly started banging his large head with the diary, but stopped himself, remembering his freedom.

"Dobby, let's go," Harry said, shooting a glance at the furious Lucius.

As the house elf followed behind his idol, his tattered old pillowcase seemed to grow a little more blue.
