Dobby using house-elf magic to take Narcissa Malfoy's wand
"Elf magic isn't like wizard magic, is it? I mean, they can Apparate and Disapparate in and out of Hogwarts when we can't." — Ron Weasley regarding house-elf magic [src]
House-elves had their own brand of magic that only they had access to, as did many other magical creatures. The upper limits of elf magic were not known, however it was incredibly versatile and allowed them to perform very powerful magic.
They were often underestimated however because of their small stature. Their loyalty also prevented them from using magic against their masters until they were free. This amounted to their reputation as push overs and leading lives of abuse.
But his desire for adventure and thirst for knowledge propelled him forward. With each step, the witch's presence grew stronger. As Jack stood before her door, he took a deep breath and knocked. To his surprise, the door creaked open, revealing a strikingly beautiful, yet ancient woman. The witch's eyes sparkled with hidden knowledge, and her voice carried an ancient wisdom. "Who dares disturb my solitude?" she asked, her voice a melodic mixture of curiosity and enchantment. Jack, somewhat hypnotized by her presence, boldly replied, "I am Jack, an explorer seeking the truth of your magical prowess and the tales that surround you." A faint smile formed on the witch's lips as she stepped aside, inviting Jack into her mystical abode. The walls adorned with potions, spellbooks, and relics of a forgotten time fascinated him. The witch began to weave tales of her ancient heritage, recounting legends and revealing secrets of her powers. Jack, engrossed in the witch's words, felt a strange connection growing between them. He found himself captivated by her tales, her presence, and her charm. However, the witch's power was not to be taken lightly, and she made it clear that every curiosity had its price. Intrigued by the unpredictable nature of their encounter, Jack hesitantly asked, "What does it take to truly know the extent of your magic?" The witch's eyes seemed to pierce his very soul as she answered, her voice enigmatic yet gentle, "To truly understand my magic, one must exchange a kiss with the otherworldly." Jack, torn between his fascination and trepidation, realized the magnitude of what she was asking. A million thoughts raced through his mind, but his curiosity got the best of him. So, with a mixture of fear and anticipation, he leaned in and exchanged a kiss with the witch. In that moment, a powerful surge of energy engulfed Jack, filling him with a profound sense of ancient wisdom and magic. It was as if the witch's knowledge and power flowed through him, leaving an indelible mark on his soul. As he pulled away, Jack felt forever changed. The witch smiled knowingly and bestowed upon him a final piece of advice: "Remember, knowledge is a gift, but magic comes with responsibility. Use it wisely." With newfound wisdom and a heart full of wonder, Jack left the witch's lair, forever transformed by the mystical exchange. The kiss with the witch became a symbol of his journey, a reminder of the power of curiosity, and the unpredictable nature of life's adventures..
