Dobby was a little house elf
Who was extremely sad
Because he lived with the Malfoys,
The wizards who were bad.

The Malfoys were cruel and unfair.
They made him work all day.
He slaved away to cook and clean,
Never getting to play.

But that was all about to change,
Because of the young Potter...
Who would give him his one true love
That made his heart flutter.

There is nothing more beautiful.
Don’t ever think to mock
The most beautiful thing on Earth:
His one true love, the sock.

It began with a horrid plan
To open the Chamber,
To hurt all the Mudbloods and filth
And young Harry Potter.

The house elf Dobby was afraid;
He knew what this could mean.
He had to warn the Potter boy,
Had to stop a bad scene.

Brave Dobby went to warn Harry
To save him from danger
But Harry did not care and went
With Weasley and Granger.

Dobby did not know what to do
To save him from great harm.
He blocked off the Hogwarts Express
And even broke his arm!

A girl was sent to the Chamber,
And everything was blue.
Hogwarts could be closed forever,
All hope would be lost too.

But brave Harry would save the day
And rescue Ron’s sister.
He went to the Chamber itself
And came out the victor.

Master Malfoy was very mad,
And he left in a dash...
But Dobby was cleaning his shoes
When he went with a flash.

Malfoy went to see Dumbledore
And also found Harry,
Talking to the great Headmaster,
Looking very merry.

Dumbledore looked him in the eye,
Told him who was the heir:
The same as before, Voldemort,
Said the Headmaster fair.

He was acting through another:
The little Weasley girl.
Through Tom Riddle’s old diary,
He possessed the young girl.

Malfoy pretended to be shocked
Though he really was not,
For he had set the whole thing up,
And Dobby knew his plot.

He resolved to let Harry know
And gave the boy a clue.
So Harry figured out the truth,
And he knew what to do.

He followed Malfoy out the door,
With the journal in hand.
He stuck it in his smelly sock
Before making his stand.>

He gave Malfoy the diary
And told him what he knew -
That Malfoy gave it to Ginny,
And he was guilty too.

Malfoy ripped the sock off the book
And threw it far away,
Dobby just happened to catch it
And was given his pay.

Dobby was free at last, hurray!
He was given new clothes.
Now he could do as he wanted,
And be free of his woes.


This is why Dobby loves his socks.
They are what made him free,
And saved him from a life of woe.
God bless the socks, yippie!
