Beaming, Bippy offered her help to the trio, ecstatic to finally serve her real masters. Ashley quickly informed her of the stone statue they had come to retrieve, asking the house-elf if she’d seen it anywhere. Bippy frowned and thought for a minute before lighting up. She had good news and bad news. The bad news was that n all her years of unwillingly serving Dumbledore, she had never come across any cursed statue. The good news, on the other hand, was that there was a room in the west wing of the manor that she had never been allowed to enter. If Dumbledore really was holding Henrik captive somewhere within the manor, that room was Ashley’s best bet.
