*this is my take on how Dobby learned about the plot to make terrible things happen at Hogwarts, and how he decided to help Harry Potter.

Chapter 1

"This year? You sure?" asked a woman's voice from inside the drawing room. Dobby fiddled with the hem of his flour bag he used as a shirt. He put his giant bat like ears closer to the dark mahogany wood of the door.

"Yes Narcissa! It's been fifty years, it's meant to happen. Besides, I know the perfect way." replied Lucius Dobby listened closer. His masters were speaking.

"Have you been talking with him?" Narcissa paused. "Riddle?"

Dobby shivered. He who must not be named.

"yes." Lucius whispered. Dobby had to strain himself to hear.

"He wants the boy. Potter." Lucius continued

"How are you going to do that? You can't just give Potter the book without him being suspicious! He'll just throw it in the bin for all we know!" Narcissa exclaimed

"I said I had the perfect way didn't I?" Lucius asked "We'll give the book to someone who is bound to mention it to him. He'll get curious, and we've got him." Lucius whispered.

Dobby's eyes widened. He didn't want anything to happen to Harry Potter. His master's worked with the Dark Lord, who hated Harry.

"His first year only just ended. You've got the summer holiday to figure this all out." Narcissa said

Dobby backed away from the door. He bumps into a something. "Where do you think your going then?" Draco said Dobby had bumped into Draco, the son of his masters.

"Nowhere…..just going clean your room." Dobby squeaked, nervously.

Draco smirked,"alright then." and he rounded the corner to the kitchen.

Dobby thought back to the conversation he heard between his masters, as he climbed the stairs to Draco's room. He had to save Harry Potter. He didn't deserve the fate that lie near him. But he couldn't defy his masters…..could he?
