I met the most dreadful house elf today. Okay, maybe he wasn’t entirely dreadful. But he did yell a lot. It wasn’t my fault though. I suppose I did explode my potion in class, but it really was an accident. Professor Valenduris was kind enough to allow me to leave class early to wash up but then I met a house elf of the stairs, I believe his name is Woopy, and he started yelling at me. I even offered to help but he only got madder. When I left to go back upstairs he seemed a bit kinder, but still very upset. I hope he is alright and that I really didn’t make too much trouble for him. Mr. Waterford, the Ravenclaw who I got stuck on the stairs with, said that house elves live to serve, but Woopy didn’t seem to like that idea. And he did the most awful thing, he clawed his arms and wouldn’t go to the hospital wing. I really wish there were a way I could help him.
