Here it is. I hope you all like it. Please read and review love Hermione xxx
"Come Dobby and take this blasted book while you're at it!" Lucius snapped as Harry whispered that Dobby should open it. He shrieked upon doing so as the sock fell out into his hands.
"Master has set Dobby free by giving him a sock! Master is actually kind for once!" he said as Lucius exclaimed that he had done no such thing and growling with rage when he saw it was true that Dobby did have a sock. Wondering how it could have happened he got his answer when Harry lifted his pant leg to show that he was minus one sock.
"You insolent little brat! You lost me my servant and I will not fail like the dark lord did AVADA-" he started but was promptly flung so hard against the wall he knocked unconscious by Dobby who smirked as he shoved Lucius into the nearest floo and mispronounced his address sending him god knows where. He did deserve it after all and bad men deserved to be punished.
"I is sorry but he is being a very bad man and I cannot let him win or hurt my Harry Potter sir. Are you ok?" Dobby asked as Harry looked bewildered where he stood.
"I am fine Dobby. Can you promise me you'll never try to save my life again as this year was too dangerous with what you did to me. You meant well and I know that but your actions caused more damage then they should have. It was if I'm honest at times scary" he said as Dobby burst into tears.
"But nothing is as scary as old master. You don't understand how evil he was. The bludger was an accident and had I not been so focused on stopping happy hair man from hurting you it would have been fine. I did it wrong because he was being dangerous over loving himself and I couldn't help myself. The bludger thingy was not aimed at you but at your broom. I thought without it you couldn't play games any more and would have no choice but to return home" he said as Harry stopped at that looking shocked.
"Dobby who is happy hair man?" he asked sounding worried indeed as Hagrid was always happy and rather hairy. He couldn't imagine Hagrid wanting to hurt him though but he needed to be sure none the less. He was if he was honest apprehensive about what Dobby would say to him.
"Lockyheart sir. He is wanting Harry to get hurt so he can look good and save him when it suits him to make him more famous" he said pulling on his ears in concern. Harry growled at that. Typical. It just would be Lockhart's fault that he got even more damaged in the long run. I mean he vanished the boys bones for goodness sakes and was only concerned with how good he'd look doing it too. What had Dumbledore been thinking hiring a man like that? It was more then obvious even to the likes of Ron that he'd not done the things he said in his books. Harry was just happy he was in the psych ward now where he could no longer harm anyone ever again.
"Well Dobby I didn't know that about the bludger but it's nice to know it wasn't actually aimed at me. I wouldn't have ever gone home so to speak by choice unless it was in a body bag and I mean that. The Dursley residence is hell for me and until I ever have a residence of my own nowhere will be home for me not even here. In fact here is very dangerous. At least I could do one good thing and free you from the Malfoy's who were truly awful. Have a good life!" he said as Dobby cried once more.
"Harry Potter sir is good to free me from the Malfoy family as they be doing such bad things however without a family to serve and magic to sustain me I will die. Please sir can I work for you? You are so kind and such a friend to me?" he asked perking up slightly.
"Dobby in all honesty I would love to have you working for me but I can't as I can't do magic outside school and if you were to do magic in the Dursley residence I'd be caught for underage magic and banned from ever returning to school much less the wizarding world!" he said sadly as Dobby perked up even more before looking scared he'd get in trouble confusing Harry.
"I can use a ward so you can do magic in that house without being caught. The last time I be needing you to be caught by ministry to stop you going to school. I can stop the Dursley's too if you like. No one will ever hurt my best friend Harry Potter sir!" he said adamantly as Harry smiled then a slightly sadistic smile. It would seem he needn't have worried for Harry didn't care what he'd done just that they could be stopped.
"Well if that's true you can work for me on three conditions. The first condition is that you promise me right now to never punish yourself ever again and I mean that. The second condition is that you will eat with me and wear always the best clean clothes while you work for me and the final condition is that you always tell me the truth about people should I ask for it no matter how it may make me feel ok? Even if it will truly hurt or annoy me you must tell me. Can you agree to my terms?" he asked as Dobby looked highly thoughtful.
"Yes I can sir but can you please just clean up my pillow case as we elves don't normally wear clothes and I would stand out for this reason" he said as Harry waved his wand cleaning and repairing the elf's pillow case so it looked brand new and could never get old or tear again.
"Now Dobby before we leave to go home is there anything you need to do or say?" he asked as Dobby nodded yes.
"Do you know how to protect your things as Ronny Weasley is always taking things from Master Harry's trunk when he is not there!" he said seriously as Harry smiled. Even now Dobby was still concerned for him. In fact actually t felt amazing for someone to actually care to such a degree for him as no one had ever expressed such care for him. It annoyed him that it was a house elf who did this but the fact that it happened at all was wonderful and filled him with a sense of pride in the little elf. He actually felt good for the first time in ages.
"Dobby it's alright I always tell him he can borrow things any time he needs them so don't worry about it" he said shocked when Dobby looked angry. Why did he now look angry. He looked rather scary when angry so Harry decided right there that he'd always try to do anything asked of by Dobby if not to receive that look again.
"That is not safe to do! Does that also include food and money?" he asked as Harry looked thunderous indeed. Just what in the hell was he even saying or implying?
"That does include food should there ever be any in there but that definitely does not include money and there is always money in there. Tell me Dobby has Ron ever taken anything asides from food and or school supplies from my trunk when I wasn't there? I know you've been watching and it's ok you're not in trouble you need to understand that" he said seriously leaning down to hug the elf making him perk up at once jumping from foot to foot in joy.
"Yes I have. You know me well. Ronny has taken your invisibility cloak a number of times but I don't know what he did with it just that he always took it for an hour or three and put it back again. He helped himself to three galleons a while back and he didn't put that back either!" he said seriously as Harry fumed. He had known for quite some time that the cloak was a family heirloom and whether he chose to tell anyone that or not was really not his problem. Ron had no right to take it like that. I mean who knew what he'd been doing that for.
"Ok Dobby I will go now to the feast. When I am home again we need to visit the bank and sort things out there ok? I know they have healers and I want them to treat me as I don't trust wizards would be truthful with me right now and I need the honesty they are honour bound to give me at the bank. Please seal up my stuff so no one but me can access them for now. I will ask Ron about the money and cloak later. Hopefully it's the first time he's taken money. Has Hermione ever taken anything from me?" he asked dreading the answer.
"You are most clever. We will indeed go to the bank. Ronny has taken three galleons three times from master Harry Potter sir. Hermione has taken a few books and some potions ingredients but she gave them back when hers arrived for her a little late. Enjoy your meal and I'll be there to help you should you need me. I can only talk this well as you love me if you did not like with the Malfoy's my speech would be terrible like it was with them. Also should you inquire about anything in your head you may get an answer from me in the form a note only you can read which disappears afterwards if I know the answer that is" he said as Harry fumed even more. He hugged Dobby once more and went to the feast seriously thinking things over about Ron. He hadn't asked if anyone else had been in his trunk and as he though about it a note appeared in his hand giving him the answer he needed just like Dobby had said would happen if he had the answer available to him.
Neville Longbottom put something in master Harry Potter sirs trunk for safekeeping as he was scared it would be stolen from him. He has since taken it back and didn't want you to know he'd done it as he was scared of what might happen if you did.
Dean Thomas took some sweets from you and didn't replace them.
Seamus Finnegan took Harry Potter sirs pants to wear them from time to time when master Harry Potter sir was not wearing them but he did not do so knowingly. He was cursed.
Ginevra Weasley put chocolates and flowers in Harry's trunk and took two galleons every couple of weeks this year. She's been stockpiling them and didn't spend them. I think she will use them this summer.
Albus Dumbledore searched the trunk on several occasions taking many sweets and a couple of books he didn't feel belonged in there to his office where he is keeping them from you. That is all who have entered your trunk.
He read it once more as the writing disappeared and then the note which Ron noticed.
"Harry mate what was that?" he asked sounding highly nosy. Harry looked up with an expression on his face that said are you for fucking real mate before he actually responded.
"That was just a stupid note telling me to stay away from someone nothing to worry about. Ron I want you to know if you ever need anything you can always ask me even if it's money or food or anything. I mean that ok? I just hate the thought of someone stealing from me so that's why I am saying this. Now obviously you'd never steal from me as you know how wrong that would be don't you?" he asked Ron who looked shocked. Why was Harry suddenly being weird? Of course now that he was asking he'd definitely be asking Harry for money for sure.
"Ugh yes...yeah I do indeed mate. So very wrong ugh yeah. Can I have some money please? I need like twenty galleons for something I want to buy over the summer and I know that mum will never give it to me!?" he said when Harry looked scandalized. First he was stealing from him and now here he was boldly asking for money. Had the boy no shame? I mean I know his family didn't have much but to seriously be this bold was outrageous.
"We'll see about that. I'll have to think about it because I know for a fact that someone has been stealing things from my trunk and god help the person whenever I find out who that was. I do know who it was by the way and he's not going to get away with it either mother fucker. You see Ron I always know what goes on whether people like it or not. I choose to say nothing because it suits me not to. Would you care to explain to me please where my three galleons went? I have been saving it in there because I get nothing at my damn relatives house but abuse and things so every penny counts so to speak. Please Ron just tell me why you took it? I don't even have the energy right now to care I just need to know what in the hell you were thinking?" he said looking sad instead of angry. He felt angry inside but forced himself to appear sad in the hopes that Ron would trip himself up and reveal something else. I mean everyone had been in his trunk like what the hell? Wondering if Dobby could get the books back from Dumbledore he received another note to say it was done which disappeared once again before anyone could notice it. Ron looked away and then back to Harry slight rage on his face.
"I know you have a shit life at home but you have way more money then I'll ever have and I really didn't think you'd miss it. It's just three galleons and you're overreacting as usual! I mean when or where will I ever get that money myself!" he said angrily as Harry made a choice that night that they would all play a game in his dorm because he wanted to help Neville and figured one hundred galleons to help out his dorm mates would be nothing in the grand scheme of things. Later that night he produced some blindfolds and informed them that they would be playing a guessing game where he would hand them a potions ingredient in a jar and they would have to explain how it made them feel and he'd have to guess what it was. He'd have three goes before they'd need to reveal it to him. They all agreed to play as it could be fun. In the jars were wood blocks and cores. As they played he got Dobby to photograph each of their wands and record what each person said. He then sent him away to make replicas of their wands with the ingredients they'd personally selected without knowing. By the morning all of their new wands were with them while their old ones had been snapped and banished to the house fire where they disintegrated. Everyone now had their perfect wand designed to look in every way like their old ones with a compulsion on them which would make Ollivander believe they were the ones he had sold them all. Using another compulsion Dobby had them all cast spells for a moment holding them until their power returned to normal. There was an explosion as Neville and Ron both blacked out and were sent to the hospital wing.
When they arrived Dumbledore was present getting his yearly summer check up and asked what was wrong with them. Madam Pomfrey examined both boys and gasped. "For some reason Albus a blockage on their cores was released probably by all the ambient magic they were exposed to this year. It probably chipped away at them all year until it finally disintegrated this morning knocking them out. I don't know what their cores were before now but they are now full!" she said as both boy woke in their own time Neville no longer feeling nervous. For once he could see why he'd been put in Gryffindor. Harry had decided to get everyone their own custom made wands so that things would be safer for them in the coming years at school. He didn't want any accidents like the ones Ron's broken wand had caused this year and couldn't be too sure. He had only spent one hundred galleons on the whole thing with Ollivander working overtime to get them done and believing he'd wanted to charge that much. It wasn't even a dent in his money and Harry knew that. He would now focus on dealing with Ron and Ginny's theft of his money. He could not merely let that slide and wouldn't be pressured into doing so by anyone else either. Things were about to get interesting indeed for him as this was merely the tip of the iceberg.
