24. House elf
Socks was worried. Very worried. He had recieved a christmas present to give to his mistress, Bellatrix, just days before the Christmas holidays. Rodolphus had rather unkindly told him to deliver the present to Bella on christmas day, but being a very busy house elf, Socks had forgotten and had left the present somewhere. With no idea where the present was and Rodolphus being due back at Hogwarts any day now, poor Socks had to decide if he should tell Bellatrix about the mistake before Rodolphus could. The house elf sat alone in the Hogwarts kitchens, sobbing quietly. |
