Hermione was woken up to Harry knocking on her door.
"Harry its Sunday this better be life or death" she said waving her hand to open the door
"HAPPY BIRTHDAY HERMIONE" Yelled Harry, Ron, George and Ginny
"What" said Hermione sleepily
"How can you forget your own birthday" said George walking in to her room and sitting at the end of the bed
"I've been busy" It had been a crazy first year for the unit
"Well we have presents for you and there is a surprise for you down stairs" said Ginny
"Or 5" said Ron under his breath
Hermione brushed off Ron's comment and got out of bed letting George drag her down stairs to the kitchen. The table was full of delicious breakfast foods. There was a pink table cloth and Purple napkins and white candles and multi-coloured roses.
"Oh sweet Merlin" exclaimed Hermione gasping
"She's here, She's here" came a very excited high pitched voice
"Happiest Birthday Mistress Granger" bounced two little elves
"Mistress Granger what" asked Hermione turning to see her friends standing a little further back then was required a little cough came from inside the kitchen and Hermione tuned to see who gave it, Hermione recognised the elf immediately as the one who saved Draco at the warehouse just a week ago
"Miss Hermione Granger I wish to pledge my services and my child's to you and your bloodline" she said sweetly with a bow
"Oh um well" she started but George stopped her
"If you reject her she will never recover and her children will most likely die" he whispered
"um I have some conditions though" said Hermione uncomfortable by the whole idea
"Make it forceful" whispered George
"Anything you wish" said the mother elf
"OK then
1. You will call me Hermione
2. You will accept payment
3. You will wear any clothing I purchase for you
4. You and your children must learn how to read I will teach you
5. And you will take holidays and have Saturdays off "
"Oh Miss Hermione you are much too generous I couldn't possible take payment" she squeaked uncomfortable
"You can its only right" said Hermione kneeling down and holding her hand out for her to shack it
The mother elf looked at her hand and started to cry but shook Hermione's hand
"We's are now Granger elves" yelled the 3 little ones
"Oh, I'm sorry what are all your name's" asked Hermione embarrassed she had hired a family without knowing their names
"My names is Freelie" said the mother Elf
"My name is Sphere" said the tallest little elf
"My name is Shield" said the middle elf
"My name is Love" said the little elf
"And this is Dragon" said Freelie holding out a tiny baby elf
"You didn't have names before the other night did you" asked Hermione totally in shock
