Hogwarts School-House Elves

A veritable legion of house-elves were enlisted by Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. They worked in the kitchens, preparing feasts for the entire school but have been known serving such to students who managed to stumble their way there. They also moved trunks and baggage to and from rooms, cleaned dormitories, and presumably other areas of the castle as well. They wore togas made of tea-towels bearing the Hogwarts crest. When asked nicely, they would accommodate the dietary requests of vegetarian students.2000 Interview with JK Rowling

==History==
===Helga Hufflepuff===
Helga Hufflepuff brought the house-elves to work in the Hogwarts kitchens as a way of ensuring they could work and not be abused.J.K. Rowling PotterCast Interview - "Yeah, it's a complicated issue. I would say that Hufflepuff gave — Hufflepuff did what was the most moral thing to do at that time, and we are talking about over a thousand years ago. So that would be to give them good conditions of work."
===13th century===
Around the 1210s, the house-elf Wigby started cooking in the kitchens. Throughout his 800 years of working there, he earned the title of "Dessert Master" and would often prepare delicious desserts for students.
===19th century===
The house-elf Deek became friends with the student Matilda Weasley during her second year. After Matilda became the Deputy Headmistress, she worked with Deek, and together they introduced the Room of Requirement to the new fifth-year student in 1890. Deek often stayed in the room to assist the student with various affairs.
===1998===
They participated in the Battle of Hogwarts in 1998 in an unusually bold move for their kind, although this may have been a manifestation of their extreme loyalty to their "masters". Kreacher led the house-elves into the fray, shouting for the elves to fight in the name of Harry Potter and Regulus Black. They fought with knives and cleavers, hacking at the shins of Death Eaters. 
The house-elves were also present for Harry's final defeat of Lord Voldemort, thus witnessing the end of the Second Wizarding War.
