*TWISTED 28*
Harry had a feeling Pansy was going to be in extreme danger in the next task. Since Harry was only a fourth year he was not expected to figure this out and he would be willing to bet Dumbledore would remove all books from the Library pertaining to Gilly weed. The next thought that rambled through his Head.. 'Neville' he already knew and was using it.
The next word out of his mouth. "Dobby!"
The over eager little elf was instantly by his side. "Dobby can you get some money from my vault and buy me a large supply of Gilly Weed?"
Dobby looked like he had just been put on a sugar high for a month. "If Dobby is the Great Harry Potters elf then he can do it sir."
Harry rolled his eyes knowing Hermione was going to berate him but it needed done. "Right, how do we do this Dobby?"
Dobby knelt down in front of Harry. "Put youse hand on my head and accept me."
Harry laid his hand on Dobby's head. "I Harry James Potter Accept Dobby into the family, and house of Potter!"
The magic took hold of Dobby; he glowed with a golden light. When the light had finished with him, Dobby had grown six inches and looked much healthier.
"Master Potter Dobby accepts being a member of your family." Dobby has a smile on his face that no elf had in a millennium.
"What can Dobby be doing for you Harry?"
Harry was looking in awe as to happened to his little friend. "What happened Dobby?"
"You made Dobby a member of the family not an elf bond a family bond, it is stronger so Dobby is stronger."
"Dobby are there any other free elves in the castle?"
Dobby Looked down and quite unhappy. "Winky is Here and she drinks to much, since Mr. Crouch set her free. She is dying with out a family sir, Can we help her?"
Harry smiled. "Can you bring her here?"
Harry had a horrible feeling that Pansy was in incredible danger, so Winky could quietly watch over her, then become her personal elf once this damnable task was over. Dobby could keep an eye on the ol' Coot and tell Harry of his plans.
Dobby Popped back in the room with a drunken Winky In tow. The poor little girl elf was filthy and smelled of vinegar.
"Winky, I'm in need of a second house elf, would you like the job?"
Winky looked at Harry as if he lost his mind. "Youse would want a disgraced house elf?"
Harry got down on one knee and took Winky's hand. "You did nothing wrong, you are a good house elf that had a bad master. He used you for a scapegoat for his inadequacies. Now would you like to be a part of my family?"
Winky was crying and holding on to Harry's leg for dear life. "Please Harry Potter sir; I would like that very much."
Harry did the ritual with Winky, then instructed her to sober up and see him the next day.
He sent Dobby to the bank and the apothecary and told him to get a large supply of Gilly weed.
Albus Dumbledore's office.
Severus Snape was in the office awaiting instructions. Albus was pacing around the room in a snit.
"Severus, I want you to taint all your stores of Gilly weed. I want them to wear off after fifteen minutes."
