Sophia could barely stand the condition that she was working in. Really bankrupt basically with no house elves and they had to do their own laundry. Well she would not stand for it, so she sent home for her own personal house elf; Marley. She suppose the right thing to do was to lend him to the school so he could help Toddles with the work load but not yet. Her personal needs had to be sorted out first..and only then was he allowed to serve others.
And that was why she was here now showing him around. The house-elf seemed overly excited about the work load here which caused Sophia to shake her head. She never really understood the nature of house-elves.
"And here is where you will prepare my meals Marley. And while you do that, you can teach Toddles a thing or two. His meals are ghastly."
Marley bowed low until his ears swept the ground."As mistress wishes..Marley will do."
