Dobby is free!
Harry Potter frees Dobby from the Malfoys.
At this moment, the house-elf Dobby was standing outside Malfoy Manor, looking at the manor shrouded in magic in the distance, feeling that all this was like a dream.
Free!
Dobby is free!
It all started a few days ago.
That day, Dobby saw a house-elf dressed in strange clothes.
The reason why Dobby felt strange about the other party was that the house-elf was wearing a piece of clothing.
A free house-elf.
This was Dobby's first reaction when he saw the other party. House-elves were not qualified to wear clothes.
The house-elf was wearing clothes.
At least, that's how it seemed to Dobby.
However, Dobby was extremely surprised to learn that the other party was not a free house-elf, but a house-elf serving a wizard family.
"The master thinks Bit should be more decent. This is not a piece of clothing." The house-elf named Bit answered Dobby's doubts.
Bit.
Beetee didn't tell the name of the house-elf or its owner, only saying that he served an extremely noble wizard family.
What surprised Dobby even more was that Beetee passed him a password. Beetee told Dobby that if he wanted to get rid of the Malfoys, the opportunity would come soon.
The famous savior Harry Potter is trying to free Dobby from the control of the Malfoy family and gain his own freedom.
This news shocked Dobby immensely.
Harry Potter had not forgotten Dobby and had tried to help him gain freedom.
Dobby didn't have many memories of the Malfoy family.
I really envy that house-elf named Bit. He obviously serves a very noble wizard family and has a very kind wizard master.
What house-elf would long for freedom if given a good family
Dobby is no exception.
The opportunity that Bit mentioned came faster than expected.
The next day, Dobby's owner received a package from Harry Potter. After reading the letter and opening the package, Lucius Malfoy angrily threw the contents of the package on the ground.
Dobby followed Beetee's instructions, took the package immediately, and took out a smelly sock that had not been washed for who knows how long, completing the house-elf expulsion ceremony: the master handed him a piece of clothing.
Freedom came so suddenly that Dobby was stunned!
The owner threw the "clothes" to Dobby, and Dobby caught it, so Dobby was free!
There was no doubt that Dobby was free.
The anger on Lucius Malfoy's face froze. Looking at the house-elf holding the smelly socks with an excited look on his face, his mind went blank.
Lucius Malfoy soon realized that the culprit who caused him to lose his servant inexplicably was Harry Potter, who sent him a package.
I was actually tricked by the other party!
It's simply unforgivable.
The ferocious look on Lucius Malfoy's face was firmly imprinted in Dobby's mind. Dobby escaped from that home because he was a free house-elf and would never be bound by a magical contract again!
All this is thanks to Harry Potter. It was Harry Potter who liberated Dobby and made him free!
Dobby took one last look at Malfoy Manor before Apparating away.
Dobby didn't have a good time in the few days after he was freed.
He had nothing to do all day and was hungry, and soon he fell into confusion and bewilderment about how to gain freedom.
"I should find myself a job!" Dobby told himself.
Dobby loves freedom and also loves to work!
However, no wizard would give a house-elf a paid job.
Dobby is still willing to try, so he goes to the Leaky Cauldron, which is in need of help and might be able to find a job there.
The situation is not good, and Tom, the bar owner, tells Dobby, "That is not the quality of a house-elf."
Of course, if Dobby wanted to stay and help, he would be welcome to do so, but he would not pay even a single knut for it.
Before Dobby was about to leave the Leaky Cauldron in disappointment, Tom called Dobby again.
He told him that if Dobby couldn't find a job and was hungry, he could help out during the bar's busiest time, and he was willing to take Dobby in temporarily, providing him with food and temporary shelter until Dobby found a job or wanted to leave.
This also has the advantage of preventing Dobby from being arrested and questioned by the Department for the Regulation and Control of Magical Creatures.
Dobby agreed!
Although he couldn't get a Knut, Dobby knew he had to find something to do and fill his stomach at the same time, as he could leave at any time anyway.
During the time Dobby stayed in the Leaky Cauldron, he never gave up looking for a job, but there was no wizard willing to pay a house-elf.
Well, never mind paying for it.
It was already difficult for a fired house-elf to find a new job.
Not to mention that this house-elf needs wages.
Dobby felt this deeply.
It had walked through all the shops in Diagon Alley and had been turned down several times. Some wizards would politely ask it to leave, while others would rudely drive it away.
"That's not a house-elf quality."
This is the sentence Dobby hears most often in recent days.
As Tom, the landlord of the Leaky Cauldron, had told him, most wizards didn't want a paid house-elf.
In fact, Dobby could see that Tom, the owner of the Leaky Cauldron, wanted it to stay, but he didn't want to pay wages.
Dobby was not angry, he was grateful to Tom. Most wizards would be wary of an expelled house-elf, let alone a house-elf who wanted to wear clothes and get paid.
Dobby had hit his head and it was bleeding.
Whenever he mentioned that he wanted to be paid, most people would say "that's not the quality of a house-elf."
Then, slam the door shut in Dobby's face!
Looking at the door closing in front of him, Dobby lowered his head in disappointment and walked away.
"Is it really that hard to find a paying job just because Dobi is asking for wages now?"
Dobby knew, of course, that house-elves worked without pay.
But Dobby is now a free house-elf.
Perhaps, Bit's owner would be willing to pay Dobby's wages.
Dobby had never seen such a special wizard before, and he was willing to believe it, but the other party already had a house-elf at home, so Dobby was not needed at all.
Perhaps Dobby could find another wizard who needed him and was willing to pay him.
Dobby believed that he would definitely find a suitable job.
