A/N thanks to the people who are reviewing I appreciate it. Yes and before anyone tells me, some parts do sound almost exactly like that of other HP books and i'm sorry, I've read them so much, bits just slip into my stories.
Oh, and this chapter is from Harry's POV.
Disclaimer: once again,almost all peoples, places and events in this story belong to J.K Rowling and not me because i can't write that good. don't sue me, i'm not worthy. For previous disclaimers and authors notes by me, see my published works, "muggle me".
Harry and Emma went down the staircase, stepping over the trick step. "Would you like to come and meet my friend Dobby?"asked Harry. "Who's that?" queried Emma. "A house elf that works here, come on".
So Harry lead Emma through twisting corridors and passages behing tapestries, until Harry stopped in front of a painting of a bowl of fruit. Harry reached out and tickled the pear which started to giggle back, and it formed a door handle.
Entering the kitchens, Harry motioned Emma to follow him. Harry's nose filled with the aromas of dinner being prepared. The kitchen was full of House elves, all wearing a teatowel like a toga. Except one.
He was wearing a teacosy for a hat and odd socks on his feet. "Dobby" called Harry to the elf. "HARRY POTTER" squeaked Dobby, as he came rushing over. "why has you come?"
"To see you Dobby, and for Emma here to meet you. "Oh Harry Potter sir you are so good to Dobby, so kind, so loyal so..."."Dobby" said Harry going bright red. Dobby turned to Emma and said "any friend of Harry Potter's is a friend of mine". "Thankyou Dobby" said Emma. But then dobby did something that Harry foung amusing.
He got down onto his knees and started wailing "oh never did I know that all of Harry Potter's friend were so polite, so caring so..." "Dobby" said Harry sternly.
Wanting to stop Dobby getting to emotional, Harry asked " Dobby, how's Winky?". "Oh Harry Potter sir" said Dobby drooping his head "we's thught that Winky was ok, but it was just shock sir, and now she's as miserable as ever, but she shouldn't be, theres is plenty of work to do."
Harry walked over to the back of the kitchen, to where he saw Winky, sitting on a stool, in what looked like rags, with dirty face and hands and sobbing convulsivly.
"Oh the poor thing" said Emma. And before Harry could stop her, Emma gathered Winky into her arms and sat on the stool. Harry turned to see Dobby gasping for air. "Dobby has never witnessed such kindness, such eqaulity, such..." but stopped mid sentance as he fell into a dead faint.
Harry quickly pulled out his wand and pointed it at Dobby muttering 'enerverate' under his breath. Dobby's eyes fluttered open and he and Harry turned to watch Emma and Winky.
Emma started singing to Winky, a slow, soft song, sung so beautifully that Harry had trouble concentrating on Dobby. Dobby was slowly swaying, a glazed look in his face.
All Harry's efforts to get him out of it were useless. He looked around the kitchen in amazment! All of the house elves were swaying to Emma's voice, also having a glazed look in their eyes.
Then Harry heard what sounded like a mosquito in his ear, but as it got louder, Harry realized it was the elves. He put his hands over his ears and dragged Emma off the stool, almost dropping Winky on the ground.
And tugging Emma towards the portrait as the harmonies the elves were making reached screeching level. They ran through the corridors as glass was heard smashing in the distance.
Stopping out the front of the Pink lady portrait, Harry turned to Emma. "How did you do that?" "What?" said Emma. "That thing where you sung and had the whole kitchen mesmerized?" "I don't know" said Emma defiantly.
"What, you think it happens all the time, I haven't even SEEN a house elf until now!" fumed Emma. Harry stared at a very annoyed looking Emma and realized that she didn't know, but something is missing from this puzzle.
They were about enter the commonroom when they heard the bell for dinner. "That was fast, do you suppose they've already cleaned up?"said Emma. They went back downstairs to the great hall. Outside, thaey met up with, Hermione, Ron and Ginny.
"Hi guys, were have you been?" said Harry.
At the library, looking up a good curse to throw at malfoy next time he decides to throw an insult at my family" said Ron. "We were supposed to be studying" said Hermione, looking as if she still hadn't got over the fight from before.
"Yeah, but looking up curses was more fun" grinned Ron sheepishly. "And what were you guys doing down here so early" said Ginny. "We were visiting Dobby and Winky, and the strangest thing happened...
But before Harry could finish, the doors to the hall opened. Walking in, The group stopped halfway in. Above the teachers table, in bloody writing, were words that put chill down Harry's spine.
"THE CHAMEBER HAS BEEN OPENED, DARER'S BEWARE!".
Hermione and Ron looked in disbelief, Emma looked puzzled, Hsrry looked troubled, and Ginny promptly fainted.
