Elfsy feet shuffled over to the girl and her project. "Missus want tea and cookies? Elvsies make chocolate chip peanut butter today. Miss like?"
Barely waiting for an answer, she was gone with a loud CRACK! After several long moments, another CRACK! announced her return. "Tinka have tea, Tinka have warm cookies fresh from oven!" She beamed up at the studentsie.
Gosh, if there is one thing Louisa liked about house-elves it's their utter faithfulness. Their utter obedience was annoying though, their nature or not she didn't like blindly obedient creatures. Anyways, the house-elf seemed to be happy about getting cookies and tea for them. Louisa opened her mouth to say "yes" that would be good but the little creature had already vanished.
"
Well... that didn't take much convincing." She went back to working on her project, uttering spells here and there, levitating hammering and nailing planks together. Until another POP! announced the house-elf's presence again. The Ravenclaw put down whatever she was holding and knee-walked to the house-elf. "
Thank you...house-elf!" What was this one's name again? She took the tray of cookies from the creature and placed it on the small table nearby.
"
Why doesn't someone else come to clean the windows instead of you?" She dropped on the floor, crossed her legs and started nibbling at one cookie. "
If you're afraid of cleaning them, you can ask another house-elf to do the job for you." Very rational.
