Chapter 548 - Not again! Ⅱ (2/2)
Dawn nodded in starch approval at seeing the Hogwarts male house elves in neat spotless tea-towels, covered with neat little black buttoned-up jackets with a darker gray vest underneath. With spotless white cuffs at the end and shiny button cufflinks with a gleaming H on them.
The female house elves on the other hand wore neat little French maid uniforms including a little cap on their heads. Their aprons were spotless except for the engraved H in the corner of their apron. The females all wore black stockings with tiny black slippers.
Dawn most approved of the changes and was pleased to spot new faces among the house elves. Dawn had been told by the master with great pride that Dawn, hubby, and Hogwarts house elves were the new standard of serving. Now many families were sending house elves to be trained at Hogwarts. But best of all, many house elves were being happy again.
Dawn was most joyous to know this. Dawn took great pride in being a Prince family house elf. And now other house elves would take great pride in serving too!
A water-eyed female house elf named Toppy happily called out to Dawn. Dawn turned around and said, ”Greetings serving sister, Toppy. How is Toppy this evening?”
”Toppy is fine!” Toppy exclaimed. ”Toppy is happy to see Dawn again so soon. Why is Dawn here?”
”Miss Georgine wanted trunk brought over,” Dawn instantly replied as she gestured to the trunk floating behind her.
”Toppy will see to it,” Toppy proudly said as Dawn set down the trunk.
”Dawn is glad,” Dawn replied. ”Dawn pop in for tea soon to drink with Toppy. Master allow visits now that young master and little mistress will return to Hogwarts.”
”Toppy is glad,” Toppy explained. ”The young master Prince, and young Lady Prince are good and kind. Hogwarts house elves proud to serve under founder's children.”
”Yes,” Dawn said in agreement. ”Dawn is lucky. Dawn tries to bring hubby, but hubby say, Hogwarts house elves is to perky.”
Toppy giggled with glee. ”Dawn's Hubby, Tadbey is too serious.”
Dawn sighed in reply. ”Dawn knows, but Dawn still loves Hubby.”
Toppy pats Dawn on her shoulder and says, ”Still Dawn is lucky. Dawn already has baby and hubby. Toppy still waiting for Habbey to ask to bind together. Toppy is worried, Toppy wait forever!”
Dawn pats Toppy on her shoulder and says, ”Males.”
Toppy nods her head, before saying, ”Toppy must excuse herself now. Toppy is busy!”
”Dawn understands,” Dawn said and waved goodbye to her friend, before making her way down the stairs to apparate back to Prince Manor. She had many things to do herself for a house elf's work is never done.
