Woopy didn't care for her apologies in the slightest.
Sorry didn't stop potions going everywhere.
Sorry didn't stop her from running into him.
Sorry didn't give back the last few moments of his life.
Woopy could see her pout and cheeks flare red and he couldn't help but think she was about to transfigure into a red-hot piece of coal. At least a piece of coal was infinitely more useful than this little human witch was being right now.
"Woopy no care! You made mess and now I have to clean and you don't care!" Woopy huffed loudly and cleaned the girl - she was still within Hogwarts and as much as it pained him, he still had to look after her. As with every person in the castle.
Her thanks was accompanied by a gentle smile and that sent Woopy over the edge yelling once more about cleaning and mess and silly witches.
Her next words, however, threw him a little. She stopped a few steps above him and turned before offering to help and for a split second, Woopy could swear he felt an emotion that wasn't his usual anger, annoyance or general apathy. It was something he couldn't put his finger on.
Alas, that feeling was for just a moment and it was quickly surpassed by a feeling of offense. Of course! Why else would she offer to help!
"And now you think Woopy not good at cleaning so you think he needs help!"
It was at this moment that Woopy realised what exactly he was doing and though, to him, it was completely justified; she was his superior.
"Agh. Woopy is sorry. You silly witch are just too stupid to not make potion go all over. I will clean." Woopy said almost sympathetically, scratching harshly into his right arm for speaking out of turn.
As angry at her transgression as he was, the house elf knew he'd be in a lot of trouble if he were caught shouting at her. He was most assuredly get fired. So he began to reign it in, kicking at the ground as he spoke.
