Christmas break had come and now it was the final day of break, Adam had stayed at Hogwarts with his step siblings. He had spent most of his time playing wizard's chess, he had destroyed a few of his fellow first years and a few older students. But most of the time when he went against the older students he would get destroyed, but he had enjoyed the snow. Several times they had a snowball fight in the courtyard and came in soaking wet from the snow. Adam was in the kitchen eating a slice of bread that Voorey had given him, "So Voorey, whats the story with the crippled elf over there with all the bandages?" Asked Adam as he took a seat at the counter and examined the elf from afar.
"Voorey doesn't know master Tarkin, she doesn't speak a word about what happened. Vorrey tired to get her to speak master but she wont budge and Voorey cant go complain or the same thing might happen to Voorey." Informed Voorey as he shuttered at the thought and walked back to his station in the kitchen.
"Don't worry Voorey, you wont have to Ill ask around to see if anyone saw anything. Though if it was a wizard they wont speak out against who ever did this for they would be scared for their lives." Informed Adam as he finished his slice of bread and walked into the common room where he saw James Swindle one of the Hufflepuff Prefects. "Hey James, do you know what happened to one of the House Elves? She looks like she has been beaten or tortured or something." Informed Adam as he took a seat on the couch across from where James was sitting.
"Well I haven't seen anything but that doesn't mean it hasn't happened, people who beat the house elves should be punished. I will keep my eyes open if I see anything I will report it." Informed James as he closed his book and stood up. Adam sighed and looked into the fire place and just sat there relaxing.
