Let Me Love You
He watched the sleeping boy as his eyes fought the demons of the day in his dreams. Peace eluded him even in his slumbers, and Dobby felt guilt stab him over and over again as he recollected the plethora of times he'd tried to prevent Harry from going back to Hogwarts that bulbous eyes shimmered with unshed tears as he dragged a long, grimy finger over Harry's pale cheek. The boy was too dazed with the strong potions Madame Pomfrey had administered him with to respond, but the violent trembling of his eyes slowed down a little.
Dobby sighed as he perched by Harry's bedside, careful to not touch the sleeping boy's broken arm. "Dobby is so very sorry, Mister Potter," he whispered mournfully as tears splashed down to his already soggy tea-cosy. "But Dobby cannot see Harry Potter suffer. The evil at Hogwarts is awake, and Dobby will even die to keep Harry Potter alive and away from danger."
His hands traveled to Harry's damp forehead and he muttered sympathetically as he gently pushed the clumps of damp hair away from his forehead. Heavy footsteps thudded towards the Hospital Wing accompanied by a set of lighter ones and the elf shivered in fright.
"Dobby has to leave Mister Potter now," he lamented as his hands caressed Harry's for the last time that night. "But Dobby will be back for Mister Potter. Dobby will never leave you alone, Harry Potter." The name flew out like a prayer from his lips.
With one last look, the house elf disapparated from the Hospital Wing just as an agitated Professor Dumbledore marched in with Professor McGonagall in tow.
Harry remained a prisoner of his dreams, oblivious to the house elf whose heart he was breaking with every second he continued spending at Hogwarts.
