Dobby and the Socks of Hogwarts
Everyone knows that Dobby loves socks, right? Mismatched, of course. No wearing socks that match, that's his motto! What people don't know, is where he gets some of his socks.
Don't get me wrong, Harry and Dumbledore do give him socks, but Dobby gets some from...another source.
Now, you did know that the House Elves do all the chores here at Hogwarts, except for the kids who get detention. The House Elves cook all our meals, clean the Common Rooms, the hallways, classrooms, the Great Hall, etc. But I bet you didn't know that they did our laundry, too.
That's right. Every time we change our clothes, we put them in baskets marked with our names. First initial, last name. For those who have the same last name and the same first letter in there first name (like Ginny and George, oddly enough, they do it by nicknames) they have their middle initial there too.
The point is, for the last few weeks, I've been missing my socks. Just one of each pair, though. In fact, a lot of people from Gryffindor are missing some. It confused us, at first. After all, we've never lost socks before.
Last night, I went down to the kitchens to get something to eat. I was hungry, though if you asked Harry and Hermione, they'd tell you that I'm always hungry. Awful, isn't it? Anyway, Dobby, as usual, came towards me and asked if 'Harry Potter's Weezy needed anything'. I told him I was hungry, and he brough me a lot of food. It was really good, but that isn't the point. As I was leaving, I looked down. Why, I've no clue. But I did. And I could have sworn that the socks Dobby was wearing were Dean's. One was bright yellow (I'll never know why he wears them Seamus got them for him as a gag gift last Christmas) and the other was white with purple spots (a potion lesson gone wrong, that week he was partnerd with Neville.
So now I have figured out why our socks go missing. I'm not sure if I should tell anyone. Hermione might go off on spew, sorry, S.P.E.W., and create a fund for buying Dobby socks. Which people would probably do, considering they don't want to lose anymore socks.
Oh, Harry's coming towards me. Bloody hell, we forgot to do our potions essay! We'd better do it now, it's due tomorrow.
Hikari-Miko So, what did you think? I know it's short, but I have to go to bed. I'll write the second chapter tomorrow, in Dobby's point of view.
Bye!
