Christina had walked down to the dungeons then to the kitchens to get a candy dish from the House Elves early Friday morning. She wanted to place some bubble gum out on the Hufflepuff Dining table so she could share her delicious bubble gum with all her fellow classmates. She entered the kitchen and saw the House Elves all working hard on cleaning up from making today's breakfast. She saw one House Elf who seemed to be watching all the rest of them and who seemed to be supervising. She went up to him and asked very kindly.
"Um Hi, I'm Christina I'm a first year Hufflepuff and I was wondering if I could get a candy dish to place some bubble gum in for sharing with my fellow Hufflepuff students. "
The House Elf looked at her scratched his head and seemed to get back to work supervising. Oh my he must either be really busy or just not like the way I asked. She decide she would share a piece with him so she got out a piece of bubble gum and gave him one.
He looked down at it rather odly turned it around and opened it up and put it in his mouth. He started to chew it and made a funny face she and smiled. She thought she would try asking again.
"Can I please have a candy dish for giving out my bubble gum to fellow Hufflefuff students?"
He looked at her scratched his head and then got out a pocket watch he had in his vest sleeve showed her the pocket watch and pointed at it. She thought maybe he's trying to say he's to busy to get it for her and she would have to find one herself. She decided she would try out another House Elf. She went up to one who was cleaning dishes figuring if anyone knew where they were kept he would.
"Hi i'm trying to get a candy dish to place bubble gum in to share it with my fellow Hufflepuff classmates i'm wondering if you can give me one?"
The House Elf who was doing dishes turned around and looked at me sad like. Oh how sad but cute I thought and decided to give him a piece of bubble gum.
"Here have a piece of bubblegum its really delicious."
She gave him a piece of her bubblegum he then precided to eat it and grinned widly and said some sort of Elvish cheer. Then all the other house Elves in the room started to notice and stopped doing what they were working on and looked on in interest. When the head House Elf saw this he look very concerned and he rushed over to Christina and grabbed her arm to get her attention.
"Follow me dear please you must not get all my fellow House Elves to distracted from their work we have enormous deadlines to meet we got lunch, then we got afternoon snacks and dinner. "
"Then ofcourse heaven help me I probably will have to be assingin House Elves again for the night cleaning up after that Gryffindor boy Cory's nightly pratices for that silly competion."
I asked him what competion he said something about eating a ton of Oreo cookies and leaving crumbs everywhere. He then preceded to show me where the candy dishes were located and then hurriedly reterned to his duties supervising all the other House Elves. So I had what I came for on the way out of the kitchen I decided to have a little fun so I got out my bag of bubble gum and got a huge handfull of bubblegum pieces and threw them into the kitchen. I watched as all the House Elves in the room all stopped what they were doing and scrambling to each get a piece of gum. I giggled as I saw the head House Elf get all red and then he let out the most jolly of laughs I ever saw come from a House Elf.
"Oh my fine you all can have a 5 minut break but you better get back to work and not be late." "Its the month of Halloween I guess even House Elves deserve some fun."
He said still laughing. I was happy that I got spread some joy to the House Elves and then I left to go to breakfast.
