Dobby's Warning

Dobby's Warning is the title of the second chapter of story, Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets.

Chapter Summery
The house-elf introduces himself as Dobby, and Harry tries to hide the house-elf's presence, as his mother warned him that his aunt and her family would not be comfortable with magic. As Harry tries to keep Dobby quiet, while keeping Dudley calm, Dobby warns Harry that he cannot go back to Hogwarts, as he would be in danger if he goes back. Harry would not accept his warning to stay away from Hogwarts, and Dobby Levitated every object in Dudley's room and dropped them, causing a ruckus, and getting Harry in trouble with the adults. While he continued to deny any wrong-doing, Lily was too angry to listen, especially after receiving a warning from the Ministry of Magic about the use of underage magic (they assumed a Levitation Spell was cast by Harry, since they don't track house-elves). Later, James went to talk to Harry, now more willing to listen to the boy. The two talked about house-elves and how the Potters freed their house-elves before Harry was born. James told his son that Lily was not upset with Harry any more and tucked Harry in for bed.

Deviations from Canon

 * Dudley learned a lot more details about Harry's life than he did in canon.
 * Harry uses the James Bond films in an attempt explain the magical war with Voldemort to Dudley.
 * Dobby levitates a lot more objects than just a cake, with the intent on getting Harry in trouble by making a ruckus.
 * His punishment with his parents is much less extreme, compared to canon. His parent do not try to prevent him from going to Hogwarts.
 * Harry knows about house-elves prior to meeting Dobby.
