Diddy the House Elf - Non-player Character
"The menu for the feast is in!" Diddy squeaked, dashing into the Hogwarts kitchens. "They is ordering roast beef as the main course!" A general murmur of approval from the other elves reached his overlarge ears. Diddy read off the rest of the menu the Headmistress had given him, and the elves zoomed off busily, starting their work for the day.
Diddy sighed contentedly. He loved his job. Work was truly awesome. Diddy dealt with humans the most, being the only one who left the Kitchens to go pick up the menus for feasts. Every visit out into the castle thrilled him; every glimpse of something magical filled him with a swelling pride of all wizardkind. Every witch or wizard he'd met so far had been so amazingly wonderful.
But he knew that was not true of all magical folk. Being born and raised at Hogwarts, Diddy had not been exposed to the harsh realities some House Elves were faced with-- cruel owners, poor living conditions, and-- did he dare even think it? No work.
Diddy shivered and pushed these thoughts from his mind, rushing off to the ovens. There was work to be done. And as long as things kept going as they were, Diddy would be there to do it.
