Chapter 7

Severus stopped at the end of the road, and the other two grabbed onto him with their free hand. Within seconds they were all standing outside the apparition points near Hogwarts. Severus looking to the other two spoke. "You two go to the dungeons and wait for me there. I am taking Harry to Madame Pomfrey."

That was all he said as he took off running. Severus burst through the front doors of the school and began yelling for the mediwitch. Madame Pomfrey stuck her head out of her office. She had been informed by the headmaster of the truth, and had been waiting for them to return. All her previous thoughts about the man called Severus Snape stopped as she saw him cradling his son in his arms. The look on his face was one of worry and fear, and tears were threatening at the corners of his eyes.

"Will you please take good care of him. I must see the headmaster, but I will be right back." Severus spoke gently, laying Harry on the bed.

"I know my job well Severus, now shoo, get out so that I might do it."

Severus sent her one of his famous glares, and went to collect Remus and Sirius. Walking as fast as he could Severus entered the dungeon. Slamming the door open, he saw the two house elves trying to wiggle free from their captor's grasp. "Come let us go and inform the headmaster," Severus said and turned to walk back out the door.

Remus and Sirius followed him dragging the two house elves. As they passed the moving portraits one spoke to Dudley, and he screeched. Sirius just pushed him along. Turning the corner they came up to the gargoyle. All of them glared at Dudley as Severus said the password. Dudley had tried to bite Sirius to get away, and was rewarded with a swift kick to the backside. When they got to the top of the stairs, Severus opened the door.

Behind the desk sat Albus Dumbledore looking all of his years. "Headmaster," Remus spoke up as everyone else stared.

"Ah yes, you have all returned," Albus said "What of Harry? How was he Severus?"

"The muggles had beaten him unconscious, that is how he was!" Severus said the memory of his battered son coming back to him.

"Did you return with him?"

"He is with Madame Pomfrey now. Can we hurry along with this, I would like to return to him."

"Severus he may need time to adjust. He does not know you are his father, and it is sure to come as a shock to him. Now may I ask who are these two, and why are they here," Dumbledore said, pointing at the two cowering house elves. None of the others seemed to wish to speak all of a sudden. Dumbledore walked up to the house elves.

"Who are you, and how have you come to be here?"

"Who do you think we are!" Petunia squeaked out.

Dumbledore turned swiftly and glared at the three wizards. "Tell me you have not transformed them. Tell me you haven't."

The three of them were shocked, but Severus soon found his voice. "We did what we had to! They tortured him, beat him, and told him he deserved it all! They even had him eating dog food!" Sirius chimed in.

"If you do not believe me, go and see Harry. See him laying in the hospital wing in rags, welts from head to toe! Oh yes, but you may have to wait for him to answer, until Pomfrey fixes his broken jaw!" Severus was livid now, even thinking about it.

Dumbledore sat down in his chair, too many things running through his head. "What of the father?"

"We left him there" Remus spat

"I think we will leave him to the muggle police, as for these two I believe you are right. Their punishment seems only fitting. They shall work here at Hogwarts, and we shall renew the blood bond with you Severus."

Severus sneered at the cowering elves. "I should go to the hospital wing and check on Harry."

"Severus, I would ask you and the others to wait, for I have some things to talk to Harry about."

All of them nodded in understanding. Severus sat in the chair a look of concentration and worry on his face. "Severus what worries you?" Remus asked, always being the understanding one.

"How can he ever want to be my son? I have made his life hell from the first time he entered Hogwarts, he will hate me" Severus spoke. No one denied what he was saying so he got up and left for the dungeons to think.

"What about us!" Petunia huffed, for everyone had in fact forgotten about the two.

"Ah yes you two," Remus said and called out "Dobby."

Dobby the house elf appeared before them all with a pop. "What can Dobby do for you Master Lupin sir? Are you in need of something?"

"Dobby, we have two new editions to Hogwarts" Remus said, pointing at the cowering pair. "They are to serve Headmaster Dumbledore from now on. Can you please show them around, and I forgot, they have no magical core left. They have to do everything by hand."

Dobby gasped at this revelation, but went over to escort the two back to the kitchens. As he walked past Sirius grabbed his arm, and whispered something in his ear. Dobby's eyes filled with rage. "You hurt Harry Potter! You will pay for harming him!"

Instantly a big ball of water was conjured and flew threw the air, soaking them both. "Harry Potter is a good wizard! You must pay!" A very large frying pan appeared in Dobby's hand, and Petunia and Dudley bolted for the door, Dobby giving chase.

"Sirius was that really necessary, to tell Dobby who they were?" Remus said eyebrows raised. As they heard a yell and a shriek, Sirius fell off the chair chuckling.

"Yes, Remus, yes it was."
