《THE DARK ENIGMA • TOM RIDDLE》XVII. Dobby
Advertisement
I sit boredly in the room me and Harry share as suddenly Hedwig starts making noise and biting at the cage.
"I can't let you out Hedwig, I'm not allowed to use magic outside of school." He explains sadly to the owl as Hedwig starts biting the lock in annoyance.
Embry simply glares daggers at the lock as if it would disappear if she glared hard enough.
"Besides, if Uncle Vernon—" Harry was cut off by Vernon yelling.
"Potters!" Vernon snaps as I roll my eyes and follow Harry downstairs.
"He's in there... Vernon." Petunia dismisses us as she was frosting a cake.
We walk over towards the living room as Vernon was fixing Dudley's suit.
"I'm warning you two, if you can't control those bloody birds, they'll have to go." Vernon says as I scowl at the man.
"But she's bored. If I could only let her out for... an hour or two!" Harry complains as Vernon laughs.
"So you can send secret messages to your freaky little friends? No sir." Vernon scoffs as he fixes Dudley's bow.
"But I haven't had any messages from any of my friends. Not one. All summer..." Harry says as I can't help but snicker at his ignorance.
He doesn't get it does he? Someone or something is stopping the mail from being delivered to us.
"Who would want to be friends with either of you?" Dudley scoffs as he shoves through us.
"I should think you'd be a little more grateful. We've raised the both of you since you both were babies and given you both the food off our table, even let you two have Dudley's second bedroom, purely out of the goodness of our hearts." Vernon explains as I glare at the older man.
*What a bastard!* Nyx hisses as I nod in agreement, Dudley flinches at the snake's hissing noise but doesn't move.
I may or not have threatened the dursleys to let me keep nyx.
"Not now bobkins. It's for when the masons arrive!" Petunia says as she slaps Dudley's hand away from the cake.
"Which should be any minute!" Vernon exclaims as the other two Dursleys go to 'go over the schedule.'
"Now let's go over our schedule once again, shall we? Petunia, when the masons arrive, you will be...?" Vernon questions as he points at her.
"In the lounge, waiting to welcome them graciously to our home." Petunia smiles as she gestures to what she's saying.
"And Dudley, you will be...?" Vernon questions as Dudley grins.
"I'll be waiting to open the door." Dudley answers as if he were some rich guy.
"Excellent!" Vernon gives him a thumbs up before his smile drops as he faces the two of us.
The three of them stand in front of us as they glared, disappointed in us.

"And you two?" Vernon raises an eyebrow as I sigh.
"We'll be in our room, making no noise and pretending that we don't exist." Harry says as I roll my eyes but nod.
"Too right, you will. With any luck, this could well be the day I make the biggest deal of my career and you will not mess it up." Vernon says as I grin at him, he flinches back and goes to say something but was cut off.
The doorbell rings as we go upstairs, only to find an elf laughing and jumping on our bed. When he notices us, he stops as his ears flop down.
"Harry and y/n potter... such an honor it is." The elf says as he bows, Harry quickly shuts the door.
"Who are you?" Harry questions as the elf stares at him.
"Dobby, sir. Dobby the house-elf." The elf, dobby, smiles as I groan in annoyance.
"Not to be rude or anything, but this isn't a great time for us to have a house-elf in our bedroom." Harry explains as dobby looks at us apologetically.
"Oh, yes, sir, dobby understands... it's just that dobby has come to tell you... it is difficult sir..dobby wonders where to begin..." Dobby trails off as Harry sighs, pinching The bridge of his nose.
"Why don't you sit down?" Harry asks as the elf's eyes widen.
"S-sit down...? Sit down...?" Dobby mutters before he starts sobbing rather loudly making me tense up and open the door slightly to make sure nobody was coming upstairs before quickly shutting it.
"Dobby, shush, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to... offend you or anything!" Harry panics as dobby looks back at him.
"Offend dobby..? Dobby has heard of your greatness, potters, but never has he been asked to sit down by a wizard... like an equal..." Dobby mumbles the last part as I roll my eyes and glance at nyx, annoyed by the elf. nyx looked back at me, feeling the same way.
"You can't have met many decent wizards, then." Harry says as dobby glances off to the side.
"No, I haven't..." Dobby smiles before his smile fades immediately as he panics.
"That was an awful thing to say..." Dobby mutters before going to our dresser and banging his head against it violently.
*What the fuck is wrong with him?* Nyx hisses as I glare at the elf.
"Stop, dobby!" Harry tried to stop him as dobby continues to bang his head against the dresser. "Dobby, please, stop!"
"Please, be quiet!!" potter quietly yells at him as dobby stumbles back, holding his injured head.
"Are you alright...?" Harry questions as dobby goes to sit down on the chair, I lazily slump down on my bed.
"Dobby had to punish himself, sir. Dobby almost spoke ill of his family, sir." Dobby explains as Harry sits down on the bed, he was sitting across from dobby.

"Your family..?" Harry questions with a confused look on his face.
"The wizard family dobby serves, sir. Dobby is bound to serve one family forever. If they ever knew Dobby was here..." Dobby trails off as he shudders in fear before continuing, "but dobby had to come, dobby has to protect the Potter twins. To warn them."
"Harry and y/n Potter must not go back to Hogwarts school of witchcraft and wizardry this year. There is a plot. A plot to make most terrible things happen." Dobby explains as I raise an eyebrow.
"What terrible things? Who's plotting them?" Harry inquires as dobby tenses up.
"Oh, the... can't..! Say..!" Dobby tries to speak but fails as he grins his teeth and grab his head.
"Okay, I understand. you can't say..!" Harry says as suddenly dobby gets on the table and starts bashing his head against the lamp violently.
"Give me the lamp..!" Harry grunts as I hear footsteps coming up, I glare at the door as I gesture to nyx for her to hide.
Harry violently takes the lamp out of his hands and forces dobby into the closet.
"Get in there and keep quiet!" Harry mutters before the door slams open, Vernon storming in.
"What the devil are you doing up here?!" Vernon whisper yells as Harry holds the closet door shut.
"I was just—"
"You ruined the punchline to my Japanese-golfer joke!" Vernon glares at the two of us as a grin crosses my face.
"One more sound, and you both will wish you'd never been born, brats. And fix that door...!" Vernon demands as Harry goes to close the closet door once again.
"Yes, sir." Harry mutters before Vernon storms out.
The closet door opens as dobby stands there, looking ever so guilty.
"See why we've got to go back?! We don't belong here! We both belong in your world, at hogwarts! It's the only place we've got friends!" Harry explains as I nod in agreement.
"Friends who don't even write to the potters?" Dobby questions with a small grin as my eyes widen as I glare at the stupid elf.
*I'm going to fucking kill that... thing!* nyx hisses as she glares at dobby.
"Well, I've expect they've been... hang on." Harry pauses as he realizes what's going on.
"How do you know our friends haven't been writing to us?" Harry questions, anger lacing his voice as he try's to remain calm.
"Harry and y/n potter mustn't be angry with dobby... dobby hoped... if they thought their friends had forgotten him, they might not want to go back to school..." Dobby says as he clutches a bunch of letters in his hands.
"Give us those... now." Harry demands as dobbys eyes widen.
"No!" Dobby screeches as he panics, avoiding Harry's attempt to catch him and running down the stairs, banging into the wall a couple times.
I was going to chase them but figured it would lead to more problems for me.
I sigh angrily as I pet nyx's head, she looks at me sadly as she nuzzles again my face.
———
"You're never going back to that school, and you're never going to see those freaky friends of yours again..! Never!" Vernon says as he finishes drilling the bars against our window.
I sigh as I turn away and skip through the letters I had gotten.
Six from Hermione, seven from Draco, two from pansy, one from Daphne, one from the weasley twins (they would even write finishing each other's sentences), and a final one from elvira.
The last two from Draco seemed worried as I sigh and shake my head with a fond smile on my lips.
———
"Hhmnnm..." I mumble as I rub my eyes before opening them, I slid down the ladder of the bunk bed lazily as I get up and glance out the window.
Harry had gotten up aswell as we watch car headlights dash towards us before slowly pulling in sideways.
My eyes widen slightly before a grin forms on my face, I grab nyx as she curls around my neck.
"Heya Harry! And y/n..." Ron mutters the last part as he glares at me.
"Ron... Fred, George.. what are you all doing here?" Harry questions, still confused as I glance between the two.
"Recusing you, of course! Now come on, get your trunk!" Ron says as Harry nods and goes to get his stuff. Most of my stuff I had left packed (I had shrunk most of it at hogwarts while I still was allowed to do magic).
Once Harry finished, embry was sitting on my shoulder as Ron attached something to the window, pulling the bars and the window itself out.
I grin as Harry throws his stuff in the trunk, I hear Vernon yell out last name but I don't even flinch as I jump into the car and in the backseat.
I watch as Harry's owl stayed caged as he had to hand hedwig to them first before getting in, causing time for Vernon to grab him leg.
They drive as Vernon is pulled out the window and falls into the pushes, I laugh at the pathetic display of actions Vernon did.
They pull the car door shut as Harry gets in the front seat, I sat in the back, next to Ron, Sitting right next to the window as Embry flew down so she was down on my lap.
*Take that!* Nyx taunts the man as I snicker at the snakes remark. She hisses proudly before she curls around my neck.

Reborn From the Cosmos
Lourianne Tome is a mildly talented, underachieving, slightly lecherous summoner who wants nothing more than to live a simple life away from her father's expectations. Those dreams are waylaid when a madman knocks her carriage off the road and sacrifices her to power a summoning. After a fateful encounter with a powerful elemental, Lou becomes something other than human and embarks on a journey to live happily and bring a little amusement to a god tired of the world's status quo. This is a mainly slice of life story with a bit of action/adventure. A few tags that need to be added here: 18+, yuri (wlw, lgbt), NSFW (and it doens't really have dedicated chapters, it is very much a part of the story), shapeshifter (and everything that comes with that). Fair warning.

Shared Universe with my other story, https://www.royalroad.com/fiction/41575/the-archivists-petty-revenge Also posted on Scribblehub. Based on the description of traumatizing content, it's worth noting that this series normalizes tax evasion and other such crimes. Also is vaguely GirlsLove-ish.
