Helping An Elfling In Need

Mandy Brocklehurst let out a heavy sigh as she ran a hand though her long hair as she walked though the many hallways of Hogwarts trying to clear her mind. Questions from the NEWTs exam she had just sat swam though her mind, each one seemed to shout at her for putting down just a stupid answer to them.

"I know all of this...I studied really hard and I am a Ravenclaw," Mandy muttered to herself, angrily, as she took another turn which led her into an area less travelled in the school. "At least I have one exam still to sit...and its practical too..."

As Mandy continued walking, without realising or really caring where she was going, she soon found herself standing in an empty hallway far away from her fellow students. Her footsteps echoed on the old castle stone floors as the rare magical painting stared at her in interest before she passed on.

"All of those nights I spent studying seemed to be nothing but a big waste of my time," Mandy said to herself as she ignored several spiders quickly scurrying past her on the stone wall. With another heavy sigh Mandy turned around one more corner only to break out of her thoughts as a strange sounding voice came to her ears. Blinking in confusion Mandy looked towards the sound only to find a small, delicate looking child who seemed to be around three or four years old with pale skin and long black hair standing in front of what looked to be a bust sculpture of a witch that Mandy vague recognised from her history books. "A child, strange? I wonder if the child belongs to one of the Professors."

Mandy stood quietly and watched as the small child stomped their foot several times and looked up in what she could only describe as an angry manner at the bust. Taking a closer look at the bust Mandy quickly spotted a cute looking bunny rabbit stuff stuck on the top of the witch bust sculptor. At first glance Mandy found a fond smile tugging on her lips as she noticed the once white bunny was now a dirty grey colour showing proof of just how well loved and attached the child was.

"Can I help you?" Mandy said in her best none threatening voice only to wince at her failed as the young child quickly turned around to face her with fear in his eyes. "I am sorry...I did not mean to scare you, in fact I wanted to help you as it looks like you are having some problems."

As emerald green eyes pinned her in place realisation suddenly hit Mandy as to just who she was talking to. Without meaning to Mandy's gaze slowly drifted towards the child's ears only to find a defiant point to them.

'This must be the Elfling that the rumours are talking about' Mandy thought as she allowed herself to be assessed. 'I cannot believe that Dumbledore would of thought that just a young child could attend Hogwarts. I bet that he would of put the date for him to attend if it was not for the fact that this Elfling's human name is Harry Potter.'

Feeling the gaze on her softening slightly Mandy did her best to keep her gaze away from the Elfling's forehead. Mandy knew that the moment that her eyes drifted upwards to the famous scar she would lose any ground that she might of gained.

"Help me please! My bunny friend has been taken away by the mean stone statue!" Harry said with upset clearly in his voice. It was all Mandy could do though to stare at him in confusion as instead of the normal English language that she had been expecting a beautiful almost musical language came out of Harry Potter's mouth. As she listened to the chimes in the wind like voice she could not understand a single word. "What are you waiting for? Bunny needs to be saved!"

"I am sorry but I do not understand what you are trying to say," Mandy said softly with an apologetic expression on her face. "Whatever beautiful language you are speaking in I do not understand it. Do you speak English?"

Mandy watched as a look of confusion crossed over the Elfling's face for a few quick seconds only for it to be replaced by an understanding expression. Mandy found herself letting out a sigh of relief as the small Elf-Who-Lived gave her an understanding expression.

"I...okay," Harry said in unsure, broken and heavily accented English yet he somehow still held the musical quality to his voice. "Help, Bunny? I no get back, need help?"

"Oh! You want your stuff toy back!" Mandy said in understanding causing Harry to nod his head madly, relieved that she understood him. "Can you not reach it?"

As if to answer her question the bust suddenly burst into life. It quickly blew a rude raspberry at Mandy before going back to pretending to be a normal muggle bust. A dark expression flashed across Mandy's face in as a result, without thinking she pulled out her wand and pointed it at Harry's well loved bunny.

"Alright, if that is how you want to play it then so be it," Mandy said with a smug expression on her face. "No worries kid, I have been practicing this spell for my next exam! This mean bust will not win."

"Bunny back!" Harry all but demanded as he ignored Mandy's exam comment. "Want my Bunny!"

"Okay, okay, one bunny coming right up," Mandy replied as she shot the bust a smug look. "I'll get the bunny back, we have bust's like this back home." With practiced ease Mandy moved her wand in the well known and practiced wand movements. "Wingardium Leviosa!"

Much to the witches bust's anger, Harry's happiness and Mandy's triumph the Bunny stuff toy lazily floated upwards into the air. The witch bust began to pull angry faces at Mandy only for the Ravenclaw to ignore them as she guided the cute stuff toy away from the bust and downwards towards the happy Elfling.

"There we go, that puts a stop to the evil busts plot to kidnap your stuff toy," Mandy said with a playful grin as she cancelled her spell allowing the bunny to fall into its happy owners waiting arms. "One cute bunny rabbit stuff toy returned. Without any damage too."

"Thank...you..." Harry said in his broken English as he cutely hugged his bunny toy. "Very much! Mean stone took away Bunny. Thank you lots. You nice person, we be friends now?"

Mandy smiled and nodded her head. "Yes, we can be friends if you want to be."
