Dobby's Story & Kisses
-DICLASIMER:: I OWN NOTHING. ALL FROM J.K. ROWLING
EXCEPT MELODY!-
I went back to the common room, Pansy was there.
"Hi." she said smiling. "Good to see you're up and about. I thought you'd just play for a week and then curl into the old habit." she explained nodding to my bed.
I lay on it and stared at the ceiling, "I did too for a moment." I admitted. "But I only slept in this time. I think I've had enough sleep for a life-time though, don't you think?"
She smiled and nodded, "Yea and the rest of us Slytherin's not enough."
We laughed at this and then she said, "So you really are back?"
I shrugged, "Not unless you're dreaming?"
She cracked up again.
Then there was a crack and there was Ally.
"Ally!" I beamed.
"Hello, Mistress." smiled Ally. "Ally begs for Mistress Slytherin's pardon, but Ally has someone who wishes to see you now that Mistress is feeling better."
"Who is it Ally?"
"'Tis Dobby, Mistress." she hissed, her orange eyes swept the room as if looking for an invisible identity.
"Okay." I said.
There was another crack and there was another house-elf with green tennis-ball eyes and was bobbing with excitement.
"Melody Gaunt." Dobby bowed low.
Then there was a knock on the door, "Is anyone in here?" it was Draco, I looked at Dobby and Ally who looked scared.
"Stay." I ordered them.
"Yeah. Me and Mel." Pansy called.
Draco opened the door and stopped in his tracks, "You!" he said to Dobby.
Draco's eyes flickered, frightened to me and then back to Dobby.
"You haven't said anything have you!" he cried his voice quivering.
"No." Dobby squealed.
"Dobby's only told me 2 things; my name and who he is." I said to Draco.
Draco's eyes lingered angrily on the elf, "You didn't tell her, but I bet you told her elf everything."
Dobby looked at Ally, and sighed, "Yes, Dobby has told Ally of old young master's feelings."
I looked at Dobby and then Draco, "He was your house-elf?"
I then remembered in one of Harry's letters his description of the Chamber and his rescue of Ginny and a house-elf.
"Harry sent you free, didn't he?" I asked Dobby.
The elf nodded, "Harry Potter was noble and helped poor Dobby from Master Malfoy's evil grasp." he then choked and made a dash to one of my books, un-doubtfully to bash himself over the head with.
I grabbed him and place him back down.
"Thank you Melody Gaunt." He said. "Spoke ill of Dobby's old masters he did. Dobby often forgets that he no longer belongs to the Malfoy's." he smiled weakly. "But Dobby has kept young master's wish that Dobby doesn't speak to Miss. Gaunt or tell her that which young master told Dobby."
I looked at Dobby.
"What is it that Draco told you Dobby?"
"NO!" Draco yelled he looked absolutely frightened like he was looking into a nightmare. "DOBBY! I FORBID YOU TO DISOBEY THE ORDER I GAVE YOU WHEN I TOLD YOU THOSE THINGS!"
Dobby smiled evilly. "Dobby has no master."
He then gazed at me.
"Dobby shall tell you what Dobby knows, but must advise young Melody not to not hurt Mr. Malfoy as he has hurt Melody in the past. You must swear to it Miss. Gaunt."
"I swear to it." I said.
Dobby grasped my wrist and we were in the middle of the Forbidden Forest.
He sat down.
"Miss. Gaunt needs to understand this she has." he said staring at the floor. "Mr. Malfoy will be very angry with Dobby and Miss for Dobby telling Miss this and Miss listening to what Dobby is saying."
I nodded. "I'm prepared for what will happen."
Dobby looked at me, scared but determined.
"Mr. Malfoy loves Miss." said Dobby. "He knows why too. Mr. Malfoy admires Misses beauty and Misses eyes very much."
As he said this my heart swelled and my mind started to sing and absorb the words. Dobby pressed on.
"Mr. Malfoy said he hurts when you do and was in much heart break over Easter holidays. Dobby worried and watched Miss. He noticed Miss appeared to have feelings for Mr. Malfoy very much like his, he heard her scream in her dreams when she was at her Orphanage over summer holidays. Crying and moaning Mr. Malfoy's name."
I felt myself shrink and remembered faintly dreams then of him dying along with everyone else at school, Dobby continued again.
"Dobby believed he could make amends but he could not without Miss or Mr. Malfoy knowing of Dobby's intentions. Dobby then decided to find a way to communicate with Miss and tell her of Mr. Malfoy's feelings, and Dobby shall do so now.
"Mt. Malfoy described Miss as well as ever, kind, smart and gave a very full physical description of Miss. He also said you were more advanced that the other witches of Misses age, said Miss had a very full sense of humour and was a very full and kind friend to all, even though Miss has a dark past and being sorted into a much judged Hogwart's house.
"Then Mr. Malfoy last admitted that when he found out what was harming Miss he'd get rid of it and tell Miss everything. As Dobby has just done so for Mr. Malfoy."
Dobby looked at me with finality in his voice.
I smiled, "Thank you Dobby." then added. "But I order you not to harm yourself."
Dobby nodded his head, grabbed my arm again and we were back in my dormitory.
Draco was on my bed, eyes bloodshot. Pansy was no where in sight.
I heard a crack.
I sat on my bed facing Draco.
"What did he say?" he asked in a thick voice.
I looked into his eyes.
I then heard a song playing from far off; it was called 'Magic Works' by the Weird Sisters.
I stared at him and he looked scared back as lead singer sung:
So, believe
That magic works
Don't be afraid
Of being hurt
Don't let this magic dies
The answer's there
Oh, just look in her eyes
I felt Draco's gaze soften in anger and glow as the next lines swooned:
And make your final move
Don't be scared, she wants you too
I was closer to him than a moment ago; his face was dry even after all that crying.
"I love you Melody." he admitted softly.
"Oohh." I swooned lightly; I felt a tear fall down my cheek from my own eyes. "I love you too," I then added. "git."
He smiled.
Yeah, it's hard, you must be brave
Don't let this moment slip away
He put his hand on the back of my neck and kissed me.
I closed my eyes.
His lips were soft still but he knew what he was doing and I kissed him back so enthusiastically I wrapped my arms around his neck.
I could feel his other hand wrap about my back to hold me.
It could have been years we stick together but my stomach growled.
He pulled away.
"I think your hungry." He said smiling.
"Me too."
