Hmmm, seeing as everyone's doing Harry Potter stories, I'll attempt my own. Note the attempt... lol.

"Leave me alone!" cried Gabby, the latest addition to the Hogwarts' House Elf staff. Because of her pretty looks (well, for a house elf anyway!), she was constantly bullied.

She backed into the corner; her only defence was the torn, ragged kitchen towel, appropriately tied up with what looked like a faded blue ribbon.

"Why can't you leave me alone?" She sounded weary, like this was on an ongoing battle, with only herself as her army.

"She's an outcast!" cried the others, jeering at her delicately pointy ears and her soft, sloped Himalayas skin.

They were just about to shove an apple pie down her throat, when a loud voice shouted over.

"STOP IT!" shouted Hermione. She scrambled over to the mob.

"Now go away...." she said, her voice shaking slightly, as the elves drew in nearer and nearer, angrier and angrier. She didn't know what to do. She couldn't hurt them; that would be a total betrayal of SPEW. But, if she didn't act soon, they'd be done for , for sure.

Gabby stood, still as a rock beside Hermione.

The elves outside the circle passed missiles of food into the inner circle, whilst they got ready to attack. Hermione gulped.

"Oi!" Shouted Ron. "What the heck dya think you're doin'?" He marched over, hastily snatching the apple pie away from the offending house elf.

Wow, thought Hermione, I never knew Ron had it in him!

"NOW BUGGER OFF!" One by one the house elves dispatched, leaving only Gabby and Hermione in the centre of the room. Harry and Ron ran towards them

"Them stoopid elves. Just who do they think they are?"

Hermione protested. "Maybe they didn't know what they were doing..." As soon as the words left her mouth, she knew they sounded pathetic.

They could've seriously hurt her... thought Ron. He did a double take. Since when did he care so greatly for her minor well being?

Erm ok, i know it's not too great but I'm tryin! review please!!! )
