[Harry Potter] I have recently inherited from my Uncle along with a house and a fortune, a group of House Elves. What do I need to know how these creatures live, breathe, eat, sleep, give birth, die since I will be living in the same house as them?

I have never had much to do with House Elves before and frankly they creep me out!

What will they eat? I also don't want them..er mating on furniture or finding a nest full of babies in my closet. What do I do when one dies?

This whole thing is disturbing.

You don't have to worry about feeding them; a house elf's diet consists largely of animal hair. They will feed themselves whenever you go to sleep, though you'll probably have a recurring dream of getting a scalp massage. If for some reason this is disagreeable to you, they can be dismissed by providing them with an alternative source. A nice wool sock can keep a house elf fed for months.
