Joy couldn't believe it... she had slept in and missed breakfast. Her stomach was growling desperately at her. She needed something to eat, RIGHT NOW. Still groggy, she found her way into the kitchen to find herself a snack.
Let's see...
Oh, there were house elves here. Maybe one of them could help her?
She didn't know if she should ask. Her family never had a house elf.... Her great-grandmother had been furious at the idea of house elves working in the school. She'd tried to free them. At least, that's what Joy had heard.
Then again, she was so hungry. And she didn't know her way around the kitchens. Surely if she could find an elf who genuinely wanted to help her, that wouldn't be so bad? But she wanted to try wandering around on her own for a bit. No need to give a busy elf one more thing to worry about. She'd ask for help if she needed it. Yes, that's what she would do. |
