That's the exact equivalent to my translated edition, Alina, if it's of
any help (at least, our versions seem to be majority). IIRC, Dobby has
bandaged because he had to burn his hands with the pressing iron (or
whatever the thing used to iron clothes is called) for being
unfaithfull to Lucius.
Hope that helps,
Grey Wolf
