Hi! Badger here! So I found this awesome post on tumblr about House elves being student savers. I found it on hiddenhogwarts. I couldn't resist, I had to make a small story. Not sure if I'll expand on this. So, I don't know if I should put this or not but I will anyways. Trigger warning: vague mentions of self harm.
Zippy the house elf was cleaning the Hufflepuff third year dormitories when she saw a plastic box under Mister Finchys bed. Zippy grabbed the box to clean it, but when she grabbed it it opened and out fell numerous pins, razors, etc. Zippy looked up and yelled to Giggle, "Giggle, Giggle, look at what Zippy's be finding under Mister Finchys bed!"
Giggle sighed in exasperation at the over emotional elf. "Giggle is being sure it is nothing for Zippy to be conc-"
The elf stopped as she saw the contents of the box. Zippy's eyes filled with tears. "What is Mister Finchy doing with the hurty things?" She wailed.
Giggle made a distressed noise as she remembered a young girl named Alice Firden being taken to St. Mungos for harming herself with the same types of objects. "It is being nothing for Zippys to be worryings abouts. Let Giggles take care of Mister Finchy."
Zippy sniffed and popped away to clean the common room. Giggle put the hurty things back in box and took the box to the trash, not that that would stop the young boy. Throwing the things away didn't make Alice stop either.
The next day, at least an hour before dinner Justin Finch Fletchley walked into his room and saw Eric Jones, the fifth year prefect, sitting on his bed. "Hello Eric. What are you doing here?" Justin said, trying to compose himself.
The older badger sighed wearily. "We need to talk..."
Zippy approached Giggle the next day with concern plain on her face. Giggle patted her on the head. "Don't be worrying Zippy. Mister Finchy will gets the helps hes be needing."
