Theme # 24: House-elf


Was that a ... disturbance? Crookshanks pricked up his ears, then stretched a leg and licked it a bit. Because he had taken one sleepy-eyed look around the interiors of the Gryffindor common room, and seen only a house-elf. Those were alright. They did not disturb him and, even when he was in the way of their work, they made use of their magic to lift him to a safe spot on the other side of the common room.

Of course, that woke him up, too. But it was still good to know he was not taken for granted.
