Two weeks had passed and the professors started giving out more homework for the students. With all of the extra assignments Harry, Ron, Hermione, and Tiff had to start slowing down the pace with mind traveling lessons. Instead of every night, they were limited to doing it every other night. Each time they met Dobby would have another surprise for the group. The previous night it was Sugar Tooth Delight. It was a another marshmallow treat. Dobby covered it in all different kinds of sugar. Brown sugar, powdered sugar, granulated sugar, sweet and low sugar. He even covered the sugar and marshmallow in chocolate syrup!
"Harry!"
Harry looked behind him to see Tiff running towards him. She was mind traveling alright. She was a little bit transparent. "Is something wrong Tiff?"
"You need to come quick. It's Hermione. She's trying free the house elves again. You need to try to get her to come out of the kitchen."
"Not again." Harry moaned. Harry ran off towards the kitchens while Tiff disappeared back to her original body. When Harry arrived at the kitchen he could hear Hermione screaming.
"Don't you want to be free!"
"We do not want to be free. We want to stay here and work for Headmaster Dumbledore."
"You have been trained to like working here! Come with me and I'll save you!"
"Hermione, how many times do we have to tell you? They do NOT want to be freed."
"Shut up Ron! You don't know that."
"Hermione," started Harry, "if they don't want to leave just let them stay here."
"But Harry."
"Hermione, do you want me to go get Professor Dumbledore again?" Tiff said.
"No."
"Then leave the house elves alone. Why do you think we decided to move the lessons to the empty classroom?"
"To get better results when mind traveling."
"No, to stop you from insulting the house elves here. Now, come along. You don't want to be late for Potions class do you?"
"Oh my, I forgot all about Potions. Come on, we're going to be late." Hermione left the kitchen in a great hurry.
"Dobby, ask Dumbledore if he can change the password into the kitchen, again." Tiff said.
"Dobby will do."
"Thanks. Well, I've got to go to Care of Magical Creatures. Hagrid asked me to help him with the griffins that he found. Apparently, he just needs me to keep an eye on the students to make sure nothing goes wrong."
"That's Hagrid alright. Well, I've got to get to potions class. I'll, um, see you later." Harry left towards the dungeons.
The rest of the day went by quickly. Harry was tempted to mind travel back to his dormitory and skip the rest of his classes, but he had promised Tiff that he wouldn't use the power for his own common want. Hermione and Ron had both taken the promise too. That night they were packed full with homework.
"I don't know how we'll be able to finish the rest of the mind traveling lessons when we still have other classes we have to keep up with." Harry said while he was working on his Transfiguration homework.
"I don't know Harry." Tiff appeared. "We might have to try to work around with the schedule. Probably learn things a little quicker."
"Tiff, you shouldn't be here." Hermione whispered.
"Why, even though I'm in the Gryffindor common room, and I'm a Ravenclaw doesn't mean that I can't be here. I've actually snuck up on Malfoy a couple of times to make sure that he's doing okay. Sometimes those Star Bombs can mess you up."
"Still, if another Gryffindor catches you in here, you'll get in trouble."
"No, I just tell them that they're dreaming."
"Does that actually work?" Ron asked.
"Most of the time. I'll see you three tomorrow night at the empty classroom." Tiff disappeared with a flash.
