Ch 15: Dobby

Lorion and Draco spent the entire evening trying the spell. Finally, after they felt they could proficiently use the spell, they left the study. Draco was extremely excited. However, Lorion still wanted to find a way to use his photographic memory to obtain more knowledge.

It was also simple what he needed to do! All the first year books seemed to be calling him. However, there was still a call he couldn't deny. And that call would be of Narcissa, who was waiting for them at the dining table.

At the dining, Draco bragged about how he successfully made the entire desk levitate. Narcissa too seemed to never miss a chance to praise her son. She even praised Lorion, clearly extremely satisfied with her godchild.

Lorion made some polite comments and quickly left the table. Lucius was quiet, eating elegantly. However, his eyes were focused on Lorion. When he saw Lorion's table manners, he nodded in satisfaction. He also felt it was quite normal. After all, a Pure Blood had noble etiquettes in their blood and even if he spent an entire life in muggle world, these etiquettes would still make him a noble worthy of the Pure Blood title.

Little did he know that Lorion was quite successful in his previous life. He often had to attend high class parties, and had managed to master table manners at the tip of his fingers.

After dinner, Lorion went to his room and took out the book on Potions and Magical Compound. He sat on his bed, and Max coiled comfortable beside him. Max quickly went to sleep. However, Lorion kept reading the book and tried a few times to test his memory.

His memory didn't fail him. This feeling of filling oneself up with knowledge was addicting. When he was distracted from his studies, Dobby teleported before Lorion and greeted humbly.

"Young Master Gaunt, Dobby brought some hot chocolate for you. Young master Malfoy often loves to have this before going to bed."

Lorion was amazed by the meticulous mind of house elves. He took the glass from Dobby and nodded "Thank you Dobby"

Dobby, who was about to teleport back, stood there in shock. Then tears started falling from his eyes.

Excited, Dobby started yelling "Young Master said thank you to Dobby. No one…No one ever thanked Dobby before!"

Dobby kept sobbing and repeating the same words. His eyes drooped down and his face blushed. Clearly, being thanked was perhaps a great honor for house elves.

Sadly, Dobby's yelling woke Max up. Max started chirping in protest. However, Dobby can't understand the language of snakes. Moreover, he was too happy to spare his attention towards the little Occamy.

At last, when seeing Max quite angry, Lorion reminded Dobby to leave him to bed.
