CHAPTER 3:Flashback

"DOBBY! DOBBY ARE YOU HERE?" Harry wanted to do something but, he had to do it

himself.

"Harry Potter sir! Pleasure to see you sir, how are you Master?" Harry had to

keep his hands in front of him to keep the elf from hugging him to death.

"Dobby, I need to do some laundry"

"Dobby will gladly do Harry Potters laundry sir!" Dobby squeaked

"No Dobby," Harry said urgently "I have to do it myself." Please let him

understand.

"Yes sir, follow me sir." Dobby turned around and started walking really fast.

So fast, in fact, that Harry had to run to keep up with the tiny thing. Dobby

made turn after turn and the ciellings got so low that it looked as if they were

made only for elfs. They probably are, after all, how many kids in Hogwarts ask

to do their own laundry? A voice in Harrys head asked. Finally, the elf stopped

in front of a door and opened it.

"We even have muggle washing machines sir." Dobby bowed so lowed that his nose

touched the ground.

"Thank you Dobby. I will call you when I am finished okay?" Harry put his

laundry on top of the dryer.

"Yes sir." And with a snap, Dobby was gone again.

Slowly, Harry opened his laundry bag and took the contents out. A silvery cloth

fell out on the ground. That dang cloak. Harry thought. It never does any good

for me, does it? Harry put on the water and went to go get the soap when he

noticed a piece of paper out of the corner of his eye. He slowly started to read

it when he fainted.

AN: There was that any better? I didn't think so. For those of you that were

confused, the flashback is set in between the first and second chapters. After

Ron falls asleep and before breakfast. Please review, I could use the help

(obviously).
