Why Is Dobby Here??? Chamber of Secrets Ch 18

Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, Chapter 18 Dobby's Reward

We've wrapped up Chamber of Secrets. In this final chapter, Molly and Arthur Weasley get a reunion with their very much not dead daughter Ginny, who's been saved by Harry Potter after nearly being soul sucked by a terrifying teenage Tom Riddle aka Voldemort.

Harry explains the plot of the book for everyone with the help of Dumbledore who also eases Harry's concerns about almost being put in Slytherin house instead of Gryffindor, because he still cares about that.

Lucius Malfoy shows up with Dobby, who's presence in completely inexplicable aside from "plot reasons." After some witty banter back and forth amongst the 3 of them and some very NOT subtle hints from Dobby along the way, Harry manages to trick Lucius into throwing a sock to Dobby, setting him free. YAY FREE DOBBY!

There's a feast, cooked by a bunch of other house elves that are very much not free and Harry drops his digits to Ron so they can talk on the phone over the Summer. That should be entertaining later...
