Update 2015-03-08: Editing this story makes me sad. I have to completely rewrite parts because I didn't understand how to write before. If you read on and I haven't edited the chapters yet, I apologize in advance.

"What do you mean I cannot have one of them?" asked Lucius Malfoy as he referred to the house elves in the kitchens. Ever since Harry Potter had helped his elf escape years earlier he'd been trying to get a new one off of Dumbledore. So far, Dumbledore wouldn't go for it.

"House elves are not simply just property, Lucius," Dumbledore said as they walked into the kitchen. The elves all tried to not make themselves completely noticeable so they wouldn't be hit by the scary man with long blonde hair.

"I insist that I acquire one of these elves! Especially since one of mine has left me to come work for you," he said angrily.

"Dobby did not leave Lucius, you set him free."

"Not willingly!" Lucius Malfoy was a very angry man with a lot of power, while Dumbledore was a patient man with more power. Therefore, Lucius didn't scare Dumbledore. Not one bit.

Luna and Avana watched as the two talked. They knew they needed to escape since students weren't technically supposed to be down there. Although, common sense seemed to escape them as they tried to climb out from under the table when the two grown wizards backs were turned.

A house elf had been watching them the entire time they hid. So when they came out from under the tables it spoke, "What can get you both, miss?" He asked sweetly. Both adults looked over, and Luna ducked under the table into their hiding spot. Avana didn't react quickly though, and stood staring like a deer caught in headlights.

"Avana?" Lucius questioned. Although he was amused that his niece was down there, he knew that she shouldn't have been. Also, being caught was something that she should have been taught not to be. She was a witch after all, Avana had to learn to hide things.

"Hi Uncle Lucius..." Avana trailed off as she tipped her head down, hoping that her hair would hide her face. She was ashamed of being caught, but ore fearful of what was going to happen to her.

"Miss. Lovegood you may come out," said Dumbledore. Luna sheepishly stood up behind Avana and put a comforting hand on her shoulder. "Now girls, what are you doing here at this later hour?"

"Avana had missed dinner and was hungry, and since it is unhealthy to not eat a meal we thought…" Luna was cut off by the younger girl.

"…I asked Luna to come down with me. I don't like wandering the castle alone, it's so big. Luna said it was fine that she come with me, and while we went we'd keep an eye out for my necklace…"

"…the nargles took it." Finished Luna.

"Miss. Lovegood, why don't I escort you back to your common room?" Dumbledore said with a twinkle of his eye. He didn't leave much room for a choice, so Luna followed him out after giving Avana a supporting smile.

"What are you doing here Uncle Lucius?" Avana finally asked. Lucius seemed to be considering whether or not to answer this question. Avana noted that it wasn't a warm greeting she got from him, but why would it be? He was a Malfoy, not a Weasley.

"I am here to try and get new house elves," Lucius explained stiffly. Avana nodded, knowing he wanted more since Dobby became free. He was very angry at the elf, and even more so at the Potter boy.

"Oh, okay,"

"Avana, I am aware that the loony girl has lied to protect you. You will tell us sooner or later, because we will find out. Some way or how, I am a Malfoy after all. I have connections everywhere." Lucius said firmly before walking out. Avana stood still for a second in shock. How would they find out? How could they?

Avana got out of her trance when she realized that curfew was soon. And while she was okay breaking the rules to get some food, she was not going to get detention for not being in her common room. No way.
