I just wanted to say thanks for all the favorites and follows. It makes my day to see this story so well supported. Now if only you guys reviewed a bit. :p
Enjoy this small chapter. It really is just a filler for the next. Which I promise will be a lot longer.
It was early morning when Harry was making his way down to the kitchen.
Deciding to avoid the crowds of students, Harry was going to have breakfast in the kitchen with Hermione, Daphne, and Tracy.
After tickling the pear, Harry entered Hogwarts' kitchen. Looking around, Harry saw all of the elves busy making breakfast.
"Can Dobby help Master Harry Potter sir?"
Harry turned around to see the house elf that he freed from the Malfoys.
Smiling Harry knelt down to speak to Dobby.
"Hey Dobby, how've you been?"
Dobby started to tear up a bit, "Master Harry Potter sir, cares about Dobby. Master Harry Potter sir is truly a great wizard."
"Shh, calm down Dobby, I am glad to see you haven't changed. I was wondering if you could get some breakfast for me and three others."
"Dobby will get it done right away Master Harry Potter sir. Would you like to eat here?"
"Yes please Dobby."
"Dobby be preparing everything now." The hyper active elf said before disappearing.
Harry just shook his head with a smile on his face.
Harry looked up and noticed a table that was set for four people. Taking a seat Harry waited for the others to show up.
It wasn't long before Hermione walked into the kitchen follow by Daphne and Tracy.
Harry waved to them as soon as they entered. The three girls quickly made their way over to the table and took a seat.
As soon as they sat down the food appeared.
"Morning Daphne, Tracy. How are you both today?" Harry asked picking up some toast.
"We are fine Harry, yourself?" Daphne answered.
"Just the usual." Harry said.
"The usual?" Tracy asked before biting into a muffin.
"Angry roommates, students whispering, and an unending stream of homework." Hermione answered.
"How fun." Daphne remarked.
"Right." Harry said grinning.
"So why did we meet here?" Tracy asked.
Everyone turned to Harry.
"I just wanted to have a quiet breakfast with people I can talk to. Honestly, at least here I don't have to worry about damn people whispering behind my back."
The three girls shared a look before returning to their food.
Harry just stared at all three of them for a second before letting out a huff.
As the group finished eating the table was cleared of all of the food.
Leaning back into her chair, Tracy watched Harry before speaking.
"So how did you manage to set this breakfast up?"
"Simple, I just asked Dobby to set it up for me. He is one of the house elf that works here at Hogwarts." Harry said.
At that Dobby appeared.
"Does Master Harry Potter sir and his ladies need anything?"
Daphne and Tracy blushed at being called Harry's while Hermione just smiled used to it.
"Well, I was wondering if you knew of a place where we could train in secret Dobby." Harry said looking at the elf.
Dobby was silent for a second, before jumping up and down.
"Dobby knows the place. The come and go room, students call it the room of requirement. It's on the seventh floor. In front of the tapestry of Barnabas the Barmy trying to teach trolls ballet. You must walk in front of the tapestry three times thinking about what you want before a door to the room you want appears."
Harry smiled at Dobby, "Thanks Dobby that was most helpful. Take care of yourself."
Dobby started to tear up, "Master Harry Potter sir is truly a great wizard to care about Dobby."
The hyperactive house elf just disappeared after that.
Harry turned to see how Daphne and Tracy reacted to Dobby.
"Is he always like that?" Daphne asked.
"Yeah, has been as long as I have known him." Harry answered.
"Wasn't that the Malfoy house elf?" Tracy asked.
"He was but I helped him free himself. So now he is working here at Hogwarts."
Daphne and Tracy shared a look before they both shrugged.
"Why are things never normal around you?" Daphne asked.
Hermione just snorted at that question, "I've been wondering the same thing. At this point I'm just chalking it up to that Harry is the universes spittoon."
"Makes sense." Daphne said, "There isn't any other explanation.
"Yup." Tracy said.
At that Harry just groaned. He covered his face and mumbled, "Why me?" several times.
Everyone else just laughed at that with Harry joining in.
Once they calmed down the group got up and went their separate ways.

As Harry was walking through the hall ways he saw a bunch of kids wearing badges. They all said that Cedric was the true Hogwarts champion. Harry just nodded his head agreeing with that statement.
Out of nowhere Malfoy walked up to Hermione and Harry.
"What do you think of the badges? I could get you one if you like." Malfoy said smirking.
"I am all for supporting Cedric Diggory as the true champion of Hogwarts. But something tells me you have more in store."
At this Malfoy smirked seemed to get bigger. Tapping his wand against his badge all of the others turned to say 'Potter Stinks!'
Harry just looked on his face never changing for his bored look.
"Is that all? You could've just told me I smelled. I would have happily gone to take another shower." Harry said his voice monotone.
Malfoy's smirk was gone in an instant. His glare stared down at Harry before walking past him slightly bumping into Harry.
Harry didn't even flinched and just walked forward with Hermione silently following him.
"Nicely handled Harry." Hermione whispered once they got away from the crowd.
"Thank you, I aim to please." Harry said as he smiled.
The duo just continued their way to class undisturbed by everyone.

It was later at the end of care of magical creatures did the four friends meet up again.
"So how was your day?" Harry asked as Daphne and Tracy walked up to them.
"It was fine Potter. Thanks for asking." Daphne replied sharply, though her eyes lacked any malice.
Harry just nodded and walked back to the castle with Hermione.
Daphne and Tracy followed behind them at a fair distance. As Harry and Hermione reached the seventh floor Daphne and Tracy caught up to them.
Harry paced in front of the tapestry three times before the door that appeared on the other side of the hall.
The group quickly entered the room and the door vanished from the hall.
Inside of the room was a spacious hall. It was filled with shelves of books with tables at one end of the hall. The other end was a large open field with a few dummies lying on the floor.
Harry grinned when he saw the field.
Walking over to the field he set up some of the dummies and began firing spells at them. The girls all winced when they saw him blow a couple apart.
"Seems like Harry has something to get out of his system. Why don't we look over some of the books until he's done?" Daphne suggested.
The other two agreed and walked towards the books.
Hermione squealed when she saw some of the books titles. Daphne and Tracy looked over before their eyes widened.
Harry, who heard the squeal, quickly made his way over.
"Is everything okay?" He asked the group.
"Oh everything is just perfect. Look at all of these rare titles to read. Some of these books I never even heard of. Just imagine everything we could learn from studying these." Hermione exclaimed.
"While I am not as enthused as Hermione. She is right getting a chance to read even half of these books is rare. Even with my family's extensive library." Daphne commented.
"Same, this is quite the collection." Tracy said as she whistled at some of the books she was looking at. "A book from Salzar Slytherin. What were you thinking when you paced in front of that tapestry Harry."
"Not much, I just wanted a room to learn and prepare for the tournament." Harry said as he picked up a few different books.
"Well either way, you hit the jackpot with this room. Priceless knowledge right here at our fingertips." Hermione breathed.
"Don't get to carried away Hermione, we still have 3 more years to read over everything here." Harry said as he sat down and reading a book about parseltongue.
"A book about the history of parseltongues. Quite the find Harry." Daphne said leaning over Harry's shoulder.
Harry blushed a bit at the close proximity.
"Y-yeah, I was just trying to find out more about my abilities."
Daphne just smiled at him as she returned to browsing the selves.
Tracy laughed at how flustered Harry became while Hermione just smiled and shook her head.
The group spent the rest of the night reading and working in the room until they decided it was time to return to their dorms.
How was Dobby's dialouge? Were they decent? Any tips to improve them? Any tips in general?
Anyways I hope this chapter was at least some what decent. It was really more just me setting stuff up for the next chapter.
