Dobby Would Dissaprove

(I’m talking to a friend via IM when my boyfriend comes downstairs and starts digging around in a closet.)

Me: “OMG. My boyfriend is all of a sudden going crazy looking for things to throw away in our little storage area under the stairs.”

Friend: “You don’t keep your house elf there?”

(I laugh, and repeat this out loud for my boyfriend’s benefit.)

Me: “My boyfriend says to tell you that we don’t have enough room for a house elf anymore, because there is too much crap under the stairs.”

(A couple minutes go by as my boyfriend mumbles to himself.)

Boyfriend: “How are we supposed to have a happy home without a house elf?”
