Dobby
Summary: In which, Harry just calls for his mum for help because there's an odd thing with big eyes in his room. And, really, what else is a kid supposed to do?
There's something odd in his room, big head, big ears and awfully big eyes with nothing, but a rag for a shirt. The two stared at one another for a good moment before Harry did what any other child would do. Call for his mum.
"Mum."
The strange thing bent his ears as Harry shouts.
"Dobby," Holly said dashing into the room.
The strange Dobby thing jumps up, snaps his fingers and of he went to who knows where leaving Harry and Holly alone. Of course, Holly would know what the odd thing was.
"Harry is everything okay?" his adopted mother said followed by dad who dashed into the room.
"There was something strange in my room."
"He wasn't strange," Holly said. "That was Dobby and soon Dobby will be a free elf. Quickly Harry, you need to trick Molly father."
All Harry can do is blink as his mind wonders who Molly was before he recalled Malfoy. Since, Holly only ever calls one person Molly and depending on the week the name would change to something else that started with M and she wonders why Malfoy hates her guts.
It would be later on in the year where Harry did just that tricked, Molly father. He means Malfoy father (yes, he knows he spends too much time with Holly) into given Dobby a sock. And, now Dobby is a free elf.
