Gubgub walked silently aboard the Hogwarts express, seeking to find work here in this world. She kept her little suitcase by her side as she walked down the row, searching for a empty compartment. Eventually finding one, she set the suitcase on the chair next to her and sat down by the window, looking out of the train and at a large forest.

Elliot pushed his glasses up nervously. It was his first year at Hogwarts. His mother and father had spent a lot of time telling him it was going to be alright. He stuck his head out a random window and waved one last time to his father and mother. He contiued further into the carriage looking for an empty compartment. He stopped to find one with an house elf sitting alone. "er hi. Could I perhaps sit here? Everwhere else is filled up." He whispered quietly.

Gubgub looked at the boy who just came into her compartment and asked her a question. "Yes of course you may. " she said, sliding her suitcase more towards her. She looked at teh boy closely and smiled. "My name is Gubgub the House Elf."

Leilah straightened her skirt. She was a bit nervous, considering she hasn't seen anyone she knows on the train. Suddenly, the train started to move, which knocked her a bit of balance. She regain her balanace and ran towards a window, to wave goodbye to her parents. When the station was out of sight, she looked around to for a compartment. She looked through the compartment windows and saw that most of them were full. And she still has not seen anyone she knows. She reached near the end of the train when she saw a compartment with only two occupants in it: a boy with glasses and a house-elf. She peered into the window and asked, "Hello! May I sit in this compartment? Everywhere else seems full."

Gubgub looked from the boy to the girl that just came in. "Why of course you can. The more the merrier!" She said, looking rather cheerful.

"Thank you!" Leilah exclaimed to the elf. She walked into the compartment and took a seat near the door. "I'm Leilah, by the way. Leilah Weasley." she said confidently. She was proud to be a Weasley. She smiled, hoping she could make new friends.

The House elf took her little hat off, and bowed. "My name is Gubgub, please to meet you." She said, putting her hat back on and sitting down again.

"Pleasure to meet you too, Gubgub." Leilah said enthusiastically. She was surprised to see that the boy across her had not spoken at all. She thought that he looked vaguely familiar. "So, Gubgub," continuing her conversation with the elf, "what brings you here on the train? Are you one of the kitchen elves?" This was all she could think of saying. She felt rude after she said it, hoping she didn't offend the elf in anyway.

Gubgub sat up tall. "The headmistress offered me money to come help. I help because she is a good person, and was a friend of Albus Dumbledore. " She said, sounding very proud of herself. Dumbledore was very kind to her. He helped free her from her old master. "And yes, I do work in the kitchen, but I sometimes clean the castle when everyone is asleep."

Elliot smiled as he took his own seat. He didn't yet have a chance to introduce himself. "I'm Elliot, Elliot Lupin." He grinned brightly.

"I know. Dumbledore's quite a man, isn't he, Gubgub?" she said. She remembered what her father and mother had said about Dumbledore. She was lost in thought when a voice pulled her back to reality. The boy had introduced himself.
"Pleasure to meet you, Elliot! I'm Leilah Weasley" she exclaimed. Wait a second, she thought, why is this boy's name familiar? She was lost in though, again.

Gubgub looked at Elliot to Leilah, waiting for one of them to speak a word. Gubgub took her hat of that said S.P.E.W on it and setted it on her suitcase carefully. She remembered that a nice girl had once given it to her as gift, never forgetting that day. "Dumbledore was a good man, a very wise man actually. "

"Yes." Leilah agreed. She looked at the hat that Gubgub had placed on her suitcase. "Erm... Gubgub, what's SPEW?" asked Leilah. She was thinking if it was initials of a person important to her.

Gubgub looked directly at Leilah. "You do not know what S.P.E.W is?" She asked, shocked with horror. "It's the Society for the Promotion of Elfish Welfare." She said, grabbing the hat and hugging it. "It saved my life."
