Draco in an unexpected situation
#
Last time on Draco in an Unexpected Situation:
Down in the kitchens, the mood was very different. The House Elf Winky had a large desk set up by the stone stove. No one had noticed that half of the usual House Elves were working on duties for the castle. 25 House Elves were on food and clean up duty. 25 slept at present and would relieve the others in a few hours, 25 worked around a low table strategising and planning training programmes, training back-up forces and developing strategies for attack, 5 of the House Elves had been removed from the castle entirely, working with the seven students that were 'missing', 10 House Elves, including Winky as the manager, were working on the administration of everything, ensuring that everything was according to plan and ensuring that it all worked properly, seven more house Elves were developing weaponry, 2 house Elves were working as personal assistants to the Elf Mystie- the Elven Seer- the oldest and wisest of all of the Hogwarts Elves. Mystie was able to see part of what will happen, and was ensuring that all of the plans and work being done fit in with the overall plan.
10) Building the Army
Throughout March, Dobby's training with Neville and Draco picked up pace. Neville proved to be teaching a lot to Draco about human values, about courage and about caring for others. Draco was helping Neville to learn how to push himself, and as a side effect Neville became sneakier and more cunning. He certainly had developed his skills as sneaking away from Draco to have some peace and quiet.
Dobby became very impressed with both young men, and allowed them to relax together and trusted them to do so without killing each other.
Soon enough, it was time for Neville to be moved on to train with on of the others. Neville and Draco had gotten used to working together. Draco was to be left alone with Dobby again for a few weeks before they were reassigned with new people to learn with.
This caused Draco to become slightly subdued. He missed the company of a comrade, even though he didn't particularly like Neville, they worked well together and had developed a good working relationship. The loneliness caused Draco to throw himself back into his teachings, and especially savoured the physical practice time with the swords and axes that he made.
As Draco was so clearly distressed and lonely, needing to have more work to get on with, Dobby decided to throw more on top of Draco's workload. He started to train Draco in Elven movement and Elven magic.
On the last day of February, Dobby reported to Draco on the status of all of the students and their progress:
Neville had learned to fight, learned to use stronger spells, learned to focus his power more, learned to cooperate in adverse situations, learned to focus on the power, learning Elven culture, fencing, learned to be cunning, learned to push himself, learned about reading auras and learned about different races.

He had also learned Latin, French, German, Spanish, Urdu and Russian, the Elven language, 1 of the centaurian languages, 2 giantal languages, and 2 merfolk languages.
All of them were taught how to take care of a house and themselves, cooking, Elven movement, and a little Elven magic.
Draco was very impressed. He was very glad that his schedules were not as busy as Ginny and Harry's. He had however started to wonder what the Elves were planning exactly, and how big a part he will have in their plans, with Ginny and Harry clearly having more of a role.
