Chapter Ten-House Elf Rebellion

Harry awoke in the most comfortable bed he'd ever slept in. He didn't really want to get up. He felt himself sinking back in. He slowly propped himself against the headboard. Ah if only he didn't have to get out. Hi s thoughts wandered to his next d door neighbour. He yawned stretching reading to wake her up. Perhaps he would douse her with some water. That is if she was up already. He turned to the ensuite bathroom and took a shower. Having had finished he walked into his room and started dressing. Just as he had put on some trousers, something screamed.

"Harrryyyyyyyyy!" a shriek came form somewhere deep in his head. It sounded familiar. It couldn't be Voldemort. He'd mastered occlumency in the weeks of being in prison with nothing to do so -

"Nooooooo-dont come near you bloody" It was Ginny it had to be. Harry rushed next door and entered not knocking. The room was empty. No sign of Ginny, he couldn't hear the bath or shower. He took in the state of the bed covers. They were on the floor as were Ginny possessions, strewn across the room. He ran down to the entrance hall. As he stood there knowing that Ginny was in danger, somewhere within this house he cleared house mind.

The room came blurry and faded out as he found himself in a dungeon of sorts. He felt his hands bound, his body propped up against a cold surface. There were bars and...Everything came back into focus. As Harry found himself in the entrance hall again. He turned left following his immediate instinct down one of the stairs that spiralled downwards. He found himself in a darkly lit cobbled corridor. Where was this? He thought slowly walking further on. He came to s a series of tunnels and he turned right feeling as though something else was controlling his body. He came to another corridor, this time full of arches that had bars across each. He headed for the one at the end.

"Ginny" he whispered seeing her and rushed forward to break the vines. He reached for his wand forgetting that he didn't have it. "Damn" he cursed.

Ginny looked up. "Took your bloody time. It seems you have some strays in this house. We're not the only ones here. Not wards though otherwise they wouldn't have bars such as these. I can't shimmer through them see."

She tried to go through them but they glowed red before Ginny drooped down weaker. "They bind my magic somehow, draining me". Harry looked around for something to break the vines with. He saw something glisten and went to explore when his world turned black.

Harry awoke and find his body slightly above of the floor. His wrist were bound with the same vines as

"Ginny" Harry swiftly turned his head around.

"Good morning "she said cheerfully

"Great morning indeed" he replied sarcastically.

"Typical" they both said grinning at the other.

"So how do we plan on escaping then my dear Saviour?" Ginny asked.

"Well dear tenacious Smidget I would like to think I could help were it not for the fact me wand is but upstairs.

"Idiot"

They heard footsteps and waited apprehensively. A group of-it couldn't be house elves clad in golden towels arrived. The leader a short stout elf with slightly pig like features came forward holding a torch. The bars opened. One placed his staff in front of Harry's face.

"You're right" he started. "This being does indeed look like our masters bless their souls. I wonder," he said swinging the fire torch awfully close to Harry's nose. A pair of elves rushed forwards. "Indeed he has my master's features said the male one and my mistress eyes," squeaked the female house elf.

"Of course he does you idiots!" shouted a voice forcing everyone to jump. His their son you gits, free him!"

"And Ginny " Harry quickly added.

"And Ginny, Harry you what-

"Shut it Sirius."

"Wait a second Harry, though, ahem, hem, if you would release them." said Sirius, Harry turned his head to see Sirius sitting in a blank canvass.

The head elf nodded his head and waved his hand. The vines unwinded as Harry and Ginny fell to the floor.

"As the leader of the house elf rebellion I offer my sincerest apologies. Twixie, Tawny, serve your master. The pair of house elves that had recognised Harry came rushing forward apologising. Twixie helped Harry up apologising profusely.

"Oh miss you look so like my mistress" sobbed Tawny helping Ginny up.

"House elf rebellion" Harry asked. "Come now Harry i'll explain it later but first explain why Ginny is here and why Harry pray tell is she in that short shirt and you only barely dressed? Tsk, tsk young people these days. Honestly."

Harry and Ginny looked at each other before both turned away noticing what the other was wearing or not wearing the case may well be, and embarrassed at being caught down here barely dressed .

"Oh shut it Sirius" Harry said.

"Master!"

"Please call me Harry, that goes for all of you and this is Ginny a friend who will be staying here as longs as I'm here."

All the house elves nodded, as they disappeared one by one with the exception of Twixie and Tawny. They both looked up at Harry waiting for his order. "Um, what do you to do?"

"Twixie sir, cares for the males in the residence whilst Tawny cares for the females, we two along with four others look after the Potter Manor. The four include Terracotta who bought us all together, she is by far the wisest free elf, then there is Torres who floated ashore from a ship headed towards the Northern valleys but was saved by mistress Lily, then there are Timbertoes and Tomcat both of whom are also free elves. We are all working under contract with the fee of 50 galleons per annum. Now Young Master P- I apologise Harry and Mistress Ginny"

"Ginny"

"Indeed Ginny, I will send of Tomcat to serve you breakfast and we shall resume this conversation at a later time as we the house elves need to discuss your appearance." With that, the remaining two house elves disappeared.

"Aw Harry I thought you were supposed t be in charge but they were practically bossing you around."

"Well what can I say dear Smidge its part of my charm " Harry sighed

A cough interrupted Ginny's comeback

"Okay both of you go now and get dressed instead of standing here alone in the dark flirting, If anyone had seen you two dressed l ike this alas goodness knows, you are fortunate it was just me old Padfoot who found you to in this state, a person with a wholly innocent mind, honestly. Oh yes I want answers and so do you so why not make yourself an appointment with me at about nine o'clock this evening in the corridor." grinned Sirius.

Harry looked gravely at Sirius whilst Ginny giggled; they walked back in a not so awkward silence knowing Sirius was just teasing them, each deep in their own thoughts."

After the incident with the house elves Harry and Ginny found themselves well fed and ready to face the day, today both clad in blue robes that decidedly bought the colour out of Harry, no Leon's eyes and complimented Ginny's hair. They both walked down to the corridor ready to reveal Ginny's presence to Lupin...
