That Damn Weasley Charm II G.W

Part 3, Chapter 7- Wait, Dobby's here?

I snatch my quill from my bedside table, dip it into some ink and write back, LEMME JUST GRAB MY ROBE AND SLIPPERS. I throw on my robe and shove my feet into my little slippers and sneak out of my dorm, careful not to make a sound. Thankfully, the common room is deserted. I go over to the door that leads into the common room and write to George. READY. LET ME KNOW WHEN IT'S SAFE. Knowing George he has his map in his hands watching if there are any professors on night duty around.

He responds quickly, NO ONES IN THE DUNGEON. HURRY NOW. I tug open the rather heavy common room door, given its made out of stone and run down the corridor to the broom cupboard as quietly as possible. I open the door and squeeze into the small space with George. The little room being illuminated by his wand.

"God, you're beautiful," George whispers. He cups my face in his two hands and kisses me on the lips, tongue and everything.

I pull away from him and smile, "Nice to see you too." I whisper. "Not that I don't like being this close to you or anything... But can we go somewhere a little less squishy?"

George smiles and pulls the map out of his back pocket. "We can go anywhere you want darling. As long as it's not outside. Rather not deal with another Dementor."

I peek over at the map, "Prefects bathroom? No one ever patrols there do they?" I look at George, his eyes darting from one corner of the map to the other.

"Where's your sense of adventure? Pick a place you've never been to." George says quietly. He brings his wand closer to the map so he can read the names better, making sure there.

I get closer to George and look closely at the map. "Never been into the kitchens before."

George looks at me, "Feeling a bit hungry are we?"

I shrug my shoulders, "Wally took us there one time during third year but we never got to see inside. We just waited in the corridor. It would be nice to get a snack or something and go up to the astrology tower."

"Sounds like a brilliant idea." George quickly explains how we are going to get there I'm not totally lost then he leans up against the back wall of the broom closet and a little hole opens in the wall. We travel through walls and secret passages till we get to the basement, right under the great hall.

George pushes open a little wooden door and crawls out of it, me right behind him.

"Mister Weasley sir!" a shrill little voice says. When I am fully out of the door I stand up and dust off my knees. "Miss Violet!" A small figure comes out of the shadows on the other side of the large kitchen. The house elf is wearing a large purple jumper, shorts, a little knitted hat, and socks.

"Dobby?" I say when the elf gets closer to us. "I didn't know you were here at Hogwarts!"

Dobby, my old house elf comes over to me and I lean down to his eye level and give him a hug. "Dobby is sorry he left without saying goodbye to Miss Violet. But he couldn't stand one more second with ugly, horrible Mister Malfoy. Not one more second." Dobby looks at me in the eye and takes one of my hands in both his small ones. "But Miss Violet was always so kind and loving to Dobby. Showed Dobby that there was good in the world, yes. Lots of good."

My heart fills with happiness hearing that I had such an impact on his life. "Dobby you were a fantastic house elf, and one of my very best friends growing up. I hope Hogwarts is treating you better than my Uncle ever did."

Dobby nods about a million times. "Oh yes Dumbleydore is a very good wizard. He gives Dobby one galleon a week and lets Dobby have one day off every month! Dumbleydore wanted to give Dobby more but Dobby said no! Dobby likes being free very much, but Dobby likes work more!"
