Dennis

[alt_harry]

I keep trying to get Dennis to be friends with me. We live together and everything so I thought that maybe he'd want to play sometimes, when he isn't doing anything for me. But he doesn't. He just sits there and talks like a house elf. He didn't even want any of the chocolate from Honeydukes. It isn't that I got some for him specially but if you have too much chocolate you get sour tummy. But it didn't matter, he just said that it was for me, because I was his master and that was proper.

I thought that maybe I could tell him to act normal, only I don't know what he'd do. He kind of went mad when he was trying to get up into the girls' dormitory to help Pansy and I thought he was going to hurt himself.

He's still a wizard present and I'm very lucky that Father loves me so much! 

Now I have to go and ask Professor Slughorn about where Dennis should sleep tonight. Sally-Anne was right that we have to figure something out.

I don't think he's acting abnormally. He's doing what he's supposed to do.

[alt_harry]

I suppose, but he's still a person, even if he is a Mudblood. He has to relax some time, doesn't he?

[alt_theodore]

I don't know if mudbloods are people or not.

You've given him eight hours to sleep at night. And he'll probably be skiving all day when you're in lessons.

I suppose, but he's been following me around, I think he wants to go to lessons with me.

[alt_theodore]

I don't think that's a good idea. What if he learns things he's not supposed to know?

[alt_harry]

I don't know if I can stop him really. He wants to carry my books and all. Maybe he'll sit outside the classroom? I suppose we'll find out tomorrow...
