2 chapter 2

The story shows Key and Makai walking down the stairs, joining Harry with his friends and the Weasleys.

"Seems everything is going great, want to dance for a little bit, the music is still playing", Key glowed, literally.

"Ummm...Key", said Makai,as she notice Key glowing.

"What's up?" asked Key, then noticed her glowing.'

Abigail notice Key's glowing too, so she tries to make it stop, but instead of her stop glowing the spell backfire and hit Harry.

WIth both Harry and Key glowing, then they disappear.

The story goes to Harry and Key appearing back in their bedroom at the Dursleys.

"What happened?" asked Harry.

"Well, what I can analyze somehow my powers got affected by somebody else's powers, and we landed here", answered Key, while walking around.

"Who's powers?" questioned Harry.

"Yeah, I haven't gotten that far, but it doesn't matter, because we are going back", Key admitted.

Key snaps her fingers, but nothing happened, she snaps again, but still nothing happened.

"It won't work, hello", said a mysterious voice.

Harry and Key turns around to see a little creature on the bed who has large, bat-like ears and bulging green eyes the size of tennis balls.

This shocked both Harry and Key, they close their door, so the Dursleys wouldn't hear anything.

"Who are you?" asked Harry and Key.

"Dobby, ma'am and sir, Dobby the house elf", said the little creature.

Before Key shakes Dobby's hand, she asks "What do you mean it won't work?"

"Oh! Fae magic doesn't work around elves", said Dobby.

"Oh! That make sense", Key understood.

"So, can I ask you why you're here?" wondered Harry

"Oh, yes, sir," said Dobby earnestly. "Dobby has come to tell you, sir… it is difficult, sir… Dobby wonders where to begin…"

"Maybe you should sit down and think how to explain it", Key suggested.

To his horror, the elf burst into tears—very noisy tears.

"S-sit down!" he wailed. "Never… never ever…"

"Dobby! Dobby! Calm down", said Harry.

"Please, not to loud. I didn't mean to offend you", Key apologized.

"Offend Dobby!" choked the elf. "Dobby has never been asked to sit down—like an equal—"

"You must not have met many decent people", said Harry, with a kinda smile.

Dobby shook his head. Then, without warning, he leapt up and started banging his head furiously on the window, shouting, "Bad Dobby! Bad Dobby!"

The Dursleys and the Mason's can hear the banging from all the way downstairs.

Key moves Dobby from the window to stop that attracting attention from the Dursleys.

"Dobby had to punish himself. Dobby almost spoke ill of his family", Dobby told Harry and Key.

"Your family?" asked Harry and Key.

"My wizarding family, Dobby is bound to serve one house and one family forever…" explained Dobby.

"Do they know you're here?" asked Harry, curiously.

Dobby shuddered.

"Oh, no, sir, no… Dobby will have to punish himself most grievously for coming to see you, sir. Dobby will have to shut his ears in the oven door for this. If they ever knew, sir—" answered Dobby.

"Do you have to punish yourself for everything you did. If your say anything bad about your wizard family?" wondered Key.

Dobby nodded.

"They don't care at all if you're in pain?" asked Harry.

"No, sir, sometimes they remind me of extra punishments", said Dobby.

"If it's so awful, why not leave? Be free", Key wondered.

"A house-elf must be set free, sir. And the family will never set Dobby free… Dobby will serve the family until he dies, sir…"

"How awful", Key shakes her head.

"Yeah, these people almost make the Dursleys sound human", said Harry.

Key nodded her head in agreement with Harry.

"Can't anybody help? Maybe we…" asked Key, feeling sorry for Dobby.

Dobby dissolved again into wails of gratitude, after Key offered to help.

"Please," Harry whispered frantically, "please be quiet. If the Dursleys hear anything, if they know you're here—"

"We'll be stuck here...for...for...I don't even want to think about it", Key says dramatically, but is quite serious. "So, please don't be too loud".

"Harry Potter and Key Walker asks if they can help Dobby… Dobby has heard of your greatness, sir, but of your goodness, Dobby never knew…"

"Oh no! I'm not that special", Key dodged..

"Yeah, the thing about my greatness is rubbish. I'm not even top of my year at Hogwarts; that's Hermione, she—" Harry nodded.

Harry almost forgot about the party and his friends.

"Harry Potter is humble and modest. Key Walker is kind and similar to her cousin" said Dobby reverently, his orb-like eyes aglow. "They speaks not of their triumph over He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named—"

"Vol", Harry said.

Key covers Harry's mouth before he could finish the word because she could the reaction that Dobby was about show if he heard Voldemort's name.

"Please...do not speak the name, sir", Dobby begged. "Speak not the name!"

"Sorry," said Harry quickly. "I know lots of people don't like it".

Dobby leaned toward Harry and Key, his eyes wide as headlights.

"Dobby heard tell," he said hoarsely, "that Harry Potter and Key Walker met the Dark Lord for a second time, just weeks ago… that you two escaped yet again."

Harry and Key nodded and Dobby's eyes suddenly shone with tears.

"Ah, sir and ma'am" he gasped, dabbing his face with a corner of the grubby

"Harry Potter and Key Walker are brave, they have faced so many dangers already! But Dobby has come to protect Harry Potter, to warn him, even if he does have to shut his ears in the oven door later… Harry Potter and Key Walker must not go back to Hogwarts."

There was a silence broken only by the chink of knives and forks from downstairs and the distant rumble of Uncle Vernon's voice.

"W-what?" Harry stammered. "But I've got to go back. It's all that's keeping me going. You don't know what it's like here. I don't belong here. I belong in your world—at Hogwarts"

"Why?" asked Key. "We can't stay here, our friends are there, if there's danger, we need to be there".

"No, no, no," squeaked Dobby, shaking his head so hard his ears flapped. "Harry Potter and Key Walker must stay where they is safe. They're too great, too good, to lose. If they go back to Hogwarts, they will be in mortal danger."

"Why?" said Harry in surprise.

"There is a plot. A plot to make most terrible things happen at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry this year," whispered Dobby, suddenly trembling all over. "Dobby has known it for months, sir. Harry Potter must not put himself in peril. He is too important, sir!"

"What terrible things?" asked Key at once. "Who's plotting them?"

Dobby made a funny choking noise and then banged his head frantically against the wall.

"Okay, we get it, you can't tell us", said Key, stopping him.

"Dobby, thanks for the warning, but there's just no way, we can stay here, we need to warn our friends", Key insisted.

"Exactly, they'll be worried", said Harry.

"Friends who you don't even write to Harry Potter?" said Dobby slyly.

"I expect they've just been—wait a minute," said Harry, frowning. "How do you know my friends have been writing to me?"

Dobby shuffled his feet.

"Harry Potter mustn't be angry with Dobby. Dobby did it for the best—"

"Have you been stopping my letters?" asked Harry

"Abigail was right, it was an elf", Key gasped.

"Hands those over", said Harry.

"Not unless Harry and Key give their word that they will not go to Hogwarts this year", Dobby insisted.

"Not a chance, now hand those over", replied Key.

Dobby runs away after Key tries to get those letters, Key and Harry go after him.

Mouth dry, stomach lurching, Harry, Key sprang after him, trying not to make a sound. He jumped the last six steps, landing catlike on the hall carpet, looking around for Dobby. From the dining room they heard Uncle Vernon saying, "…tell Petunia that very funny story about those American plumbers, Mr. Mason. She's been dying to hear…"

Harry ran up the hall into the kitchen and felt his stomach disappear.

Aunt Petunia's masterpiece of a pudding, the mountain of cream and sugared violets, was floating up near the ceiling. On top of a cupboard in the corner crouched Dobby.

"No," croaked Harry.

"Please… they'll kill us…" Key begged.

"Harry Potter and Key must say they are not going back to school—"

"Dobby… please…" Harry begged.

"Say it, sir and ma'am—" said Dobby

"We can't", Harry and Key insisted

"Dobby must do it, for Harry Potter and Key Walker's own good", said Dobby.

Dobby snap his fingers which makes the pudding levitate, Key freezes the Dursleys in time, and tries to grab the cake, but Dobby unfreezes everything and she accidentally puts the cake against Mrs. Manson's face.

After the pudding hits the floor, Dobby disappears.

"Oh! I'm sorry, it's our niece—very disturbed—meeting strangers upsets her, so we kept her upstairs…" apologized Uncle Vernon.

Uncle Vernon shooed the shocked Mansons away, then gives Key a mop and tells her to clean every piece of pudding on the floor.
