Domestic Servants
A servant sings a melody about his master, mistress, child and cradle. A Dobby tale.
A house elf is a magical creature solely devoted to the one designated as their master. They serve wizards and witches, usually found under the employment of old wizarding families taking residence in elaborate establishments. Throughout history they are seen only as mere servants, a species created to serve.
Born from the calluses on their hands and the dirt on their knees, was the greatly unknown House Elf Melody. Sung for no higher purpose but to keep their spirits high and their heads down. Not many can claim to have heard this illustrious song. House elves aren't meant to be seen, you know.
"Whither goest thou master? To Walpe. Master goes to Walpe, thou to Walpe, so, so, together we'll go.
Hast thou a master? What is his name? Cham. My master Cham, thy man Cham; master goes to Walpe, thou to Walpe; so, so, together we'll go.
Hast master a child; how is he styled? Wild. My child Wild, thy child Wild; my master Cham, thy man Cham; master goes to Walpe, thou to Walpe, so, so, together we'll go.
Hast master a cradle? How callest thou thy cradle? Hippo-dadle. My cradle Hippodadle, my child Wild, thy child Wild, my master Cham, thy man Cham; Master goes to Walpe, thou to Walpe, so, so, together we'll go.
Hast master an elf? What name has thy elf? From-thy-work-do-not-budge. My elf, From-thy-work-do-not-budge: my child Wild, thy child Wild; my master Cham, thy man Cham; master goes to Walpe, thou to Walpe; so, so, together we'll go."
