Harry, Ron, and Hermione visit the Hogwarts kitchens and catch up with Dobby and Winky

Harry and Ron accompany Hermione on her visit to the house-elves in the Hogwarts kitchens. Among the house-elves in the kitchen are Dobby and Winky, who have been working at Hogwarts for a week. Winky is still deeply upset about being sacked, Dobby is happy with his new situation, and the other house-elves treat Dobby like a freak and a pariah. Winky reveals that she and Mr. Crouch Sr. share a bad opinion of Ludo Bagman. Harry and Ron load up on free snacks before leaving, and Hermione is distressed by the pride the house-elves have in their servitude (GF21).
