Notes: I'm just tidying this fic up and I thought it was better to cut the first chapter in two. The fic did grow in about 2k words, but it was mostly making the text better to understand. I'm back at writing, so I thought I should try to clean it up before finishing the last chapter :)

CHAPTER TWO
~*~

Severus wasn't the most handsome man in Britain, but as he stormed into Three Broomsticks the gloomy people turned to look at him, like he was some sort of beacon of light. Some women even having the audacity of staring at him like he was some sort of meat! Well, he knew that after years of care under Dobby’s, his appearance was at top quality. His hair was long, silky and thick and smelling pleasantly of flowers and herbs. His pale skin was as smooth as baby’s skin, including his hands that required special care to not get calloused and stained. When he smiled, rarely, mostly to Dobby, you could see a straight line of white teeth. His body was not an emaciated mess like before, he had meat on his bones. All problems acquired by bad habits and by potion making, Dobby would undo. So all of these physical qualities plus his groomed clothes, top quality, he knew he would attract people's attention.
But attract people was what he didn’t need right now.
What he couldn't afford to have.
For all of his changes, his face was still recognizable and his Death Eaters “friends” would not go gentle on him if they spotted him in London after he deserted on their cause. And seeing that he was not going to join neither Voldemort or Dumbledore, if they spotted him here, it would only cause trouble. Being his own man right now, would require him to be careful.
One year ago he had returned to London after finishing his Masters, but after his meeting with Regulus, he had traveled to Portugal far from the war to study the potions market and see if would have competition when opened his own Apothecary. He had plans to make it grow into an industrial scale production like the muggles were doing with their medicine, food and clothes... He's going to give the wizardry world quality and quantity for a fair price. He knew he was going to win all Europe if everything went like it should. Thus for a little more than an year he had been completely shut out from the situation in Britain, but from the people’s face, the situation was just getting worse.
He had just asked for a strong double shot of firewhiskey when a tall and lean man entered Three Broomsticks attracting attention from everyone, just like Severus himself had entered minutes ago. Although he attracted more attention for his tallness and bulk than his appearance. The man wasn't handsome by the common standards, he had ears and eyes too big for his head . But Severus couldn't find a fault in him, for him, the man could declare himself the most handsome man on earth and Severus wouldn't have objections...
“What are you doing here, Dobbs?” Severus inquired when green eyes met his, using the name he had agreed to call Dobby when in public, as it was a surname, people wouldn’t even think they were close to each other in case they were inquired about their relationship.
Instead of promptly replying, like his husband usually did, Dob sat at the table and looked quite seriously at Severus. “Something quite bad happened.”
Severus felt his body freeze immediately after hearing Dobby’s tone of voice. He tried to compose himself and cast a silencing charm on the two of them. He swallowed the lump in his throat before asking in a whisper. “What happened?”
“Nobody knows it yet, but Lucius Malfoy went to a mission with Voldemort earlier today and when he returned, just minutes ago, he was completely crazy! Shouting and holding his forearm like he was being summoned.” Dobby said in a whisper. “Something happened today, Sevy. I saw Malfoy’s forearm, the Dark Mark was almost gone!”
“Gone?!” Severus couldn’t believe his ears! “Are you sure, Dobby? Do you know what happened?”
Dobby shook his head. “I don’t knows what happened. I left before I could see anything else… You asked to meet me in here and I couldn’t leave you waiting, Sevy.”
As he heard his husband reasoning, Severus had to stop a smile, Dobby could never imagine the idea of failing Severus... But right now, he needed Dobby to return to the Malfoy Manor to gather more information. However, in the moment his opened his mouth to tell Dobby just that, a man barged inside and Severus dropped quickly his silencing charms.
“- IS DEAD! HARRY POTTER KILLED HIM!” The man shouted and smiled widely to everyone. Before everyone inside started shouting, Severus could hear people shouting and crying outside the restaurant.
“WHAT?!”
“IS IT TRUE?”
“You are LYING!”
“VOLDEMORT IS DEAD!” The man shouted again, making everyone pause at the use of the forbidden name. “Only his clothes were left as he disappeared! Harry Potter killed him!”
“Harry Potter is just a baby!” Someone shouted back.
“But he defeated You-Know-Who because he rebounded a killing curse!”
“He survived a killing curse?!”
“We need proofs!”
“You all are going to have proof by tomorrow!” The man some trying to make three people to listen to him. “The death eaters are hiding themselves as we speak! Their Dark Marks disappeared!”
Chaos was ensured and people started to shout and cry, they hugged themselves with wet faces and some could only laugh hysterically, others still not believing the nan. Beyond the Three Broomsticks, people were shouting louder in the streets, cries of happiness and victory, there were people singing!
The man who brought the news them was almost leaving when Severus, finally pulling himself out of his trance grabbed his arm and stopped him.
“Where are Lily and James Potter, Harry's parents? Do you know about them?” Severus asked hurriedly.
“They are dead, only the boy survived.” the man answered before disappearing into the crazy crowd outside.
Blind with sorrow and guilt, Severus went to Dobby, took a hold of the glamoured elf and apparated both of them back to the room he was staying in the Diagon Alley.
As he apparated in his room, Severus angrily disposed himself of all his clothes and jumped on the bed, quickly hiding beneath the covers. Around him, all the objects and furniture in the room were vibrating and some were visibility shaking like an earthquake was happening. Dobby knew though, that it was Severus’ emotions and magic that was affecting them.
“Severus?”
Nothing.
“Severus?” Dobby asked again hesitantly. “Are you alright?”
Severus, hidden beneath the covers, took a deep breath and slowly came out and looked at Dobby. He tried to wipe the tears from his eyes, but they kept falling. Slowly, the objects around him stopped shaking as he calmed down a little.
“This is what you were trying to say to me, wasn't Dobby?” Severus asked slowly, with a detached voice. “Six months ago, you discovered who Lord Voldemort was trying to find and you knew that I would've tried to help Lily… Wasn't it?”
Severus was man enough to admit that he felt guilt and angry at himself for choosing to play an unbiased person. Being partially responsible for the death of his former childhood friend was not… it was not… It was fucking sad and he hated feeling guilty. From time to time Dobby came with compiled news about the war, but Severus rejected them all, preferring to concentrate on his studies.
“It was, mine love,” Dobby answered and went to lay on the bed, also removing his clothes before entering under the covers beside an equally naked Severus, hugging his wife soft body against his.
Severus took another deep breath.
“It’s in the past now,” Severus whispered. “I can't let affect me like this, I need to… I need to pull myself together for start ,” he said dryly, but he was interrupted by Dobby, who took a handful of Severus’ hair and angled his head so their mouths could touch.
“I will make everything better,” Dobby said firmly when he released Severus’ shiny cherry lips after a long and meaningful kiss.
“I know you can…” Severus replied with a small smile before kissing his husband again, melting his body against Dobby, who took the charge of him a second later.
Dobby wasn't rushed, but he soon got between Severus legs, spreading them to his liking, exposing Severus to his ever hungry eyes. With a fingersnap, he tied Severus wrists above his head on the bed's headboard, making Severus arch, making his chest touch his, rubbing those delicious puffy cherry nipples on his chest.
Severus protested with a moan when they stopped kissing, but he soon forgot about when Dobby's mouth closed around his right nipple. Dobby's left hand went to his other boob as he kept sucking the fat pink nipple into his mouth. He tortured Severus with delicious bites that left his tits completely sensitive and aroused, his perky nips wet with spit as they hardened between Dobby's lips. Severus felt his cock twitch and hole clench eagerly.
“They are saying that the war is over, pretty baby,” Dob said as he left the abused tits alone and headed south. “It's safe now, we could finally start our family…”
Severus cried when a tongue licked his hole and lips close around his puffy rim, kissing and licking it like it was a delicious treat. Severus loved Dobby's talented mouth rimming his ass. He felt light headed with pleasure.
But he couldn't ignore what Dobby said, though.
“Not yet, love.” Severus said in a moan, feeling two fingers start to fuck his hole along Dobby’s tongue. He tried to thrust back, but Dobby held in place, taking control of the pace. “I know it has been already five years, but I don't think it's time yet… We can wait just a little longer.”
Dobby groaned unhappily, but instead voicing his thoughts he took a hold of his ten inches cock and rubbed it over Severus’ gaping hole, wet with his spit.
“Fuck me, please,” Severus pleaded, feeling the fat tip of the cock tease his hole. “Put it in!”
“What? Put mine tongue inside your mouth?” Dobby teased before going after Severus’ mouth, licking the lips slowly, and then touching Severus’ tongue, luring it out so he could twist in own around it and start fucking the pliant mouth with his tongue.
“Put your cock inside me… In my ass, please.” Severus whimpered when his mouth was released.
“You haven't deserved my cock yet,” Dobby teased before he flipped Severus on the bed, putting him in his all fours and slapping Sev’s plump bum with his big hand, making Severus hiss with the sting. “I think you deserved a good spank… What you think?” Dobby asked gave Sev a loud smack across his bum.
“No. No. No…” Severus denied whimpering, but Dobby answered with a series of sharp smacks on both cheeks, making his ass bright pink and hot all over. Severus moaned when he felt his own wand touch his pucker, fucking it shallowly before Dobby used to spank his hole just sharp enough to make Severus toes curl. Dobby mouth returned to his hole again, lubing it with his spit so he could thrust three fingers, making all of them stroke his prostate and his cock leak a stream of cum on the bed.
“Fuck Dobby… Put it in, please ,” Severus pleaded, spreading his legs even more, feeling his hole being completely exposed to his husband.
Dobby moaned at the sight and grabbed his waist to flip him again on the bed, causing Severus’ spanked ass touch the sheets, making him mewl lewdly. Not wasting time, the elf spelled lube into his wife's ass and then thrusting the tip of his thick purple cock inside. Dobby grabbed his husband cocklet, a little 4 inches thing, and tugged sharply at the same time he thrust his prick inside Severus’ ass until his balls were pressed against Sev’s cheeks, fucking it deep to make sure he had all of his within him.
Severus howled at the burning pleasure and it just minutes after that he was already coming with thick loads of come shooting from his dick. “ Yes . Yes!” Severus shouted in a ecstasy of pure pain and pleasure. He was fucking filled to the brim with cock. He hugged his long legs around Dobby as he felt his orgasm shook his entire body, squeezing the elf’s cock within. “Fuck, don’t stop fucking me!”
“I'll only stop fucking you tonight if Malfoy calls for me… I plan on pleasuring my precious wife all night,” Dobby said with a smirk, extremely pleased himself.
“Bring it on, husband of mine,” Severus said in a moan, clenching harder around the thick cock inside his arse, ready to keep going. If Voldemort is indeed truly dead, he's going to celebrate it!

~*~

The day was 31 of July, 1982 and Severus Snape was holding a dragon plushy on his hands, sitting on his favorite armchair of the living room. The present was for no other than Harry Potter for his birthday.
Severus was listing the pros and cons to decide if should be involved in Harry's life or not. He was sitting there for almost an hour and the cons list wasn't getting as big as wanted. All because he felt the need to get to know Lily's son despite their failed friendship.
Because Severus never felt the desperation of running out of way to save Lily, he never projected his animosity on Harry. Thus he could only think about Harry as an unfortunate child who lost his parents.
“Sevy, what are you doing out of the bed?!” Dobby shrieked from where he stood near the fireplace, almost killing Severus on the process. He looked at the elf and saw him in his natural appearance without glamours, very unusual for him… He must have been really worried about Severus’ health to not glamour himself first.
Severus groaned angrily at seeing the elf, though. He hated getting caught! But as tried he put his sluggish brain to work for an excuse, he remembered who he was talking to.
“I was just waiting for you, love. I need you to do something for me…” Severus said and tried to hold down a cough fit with a deep breath. His wizard flu was still strong as it was a week ago. “Today is Harry Potter’s birthday and I wanted to give him a gift… Could you give it to him, Dob?”
Dobby’s face was lit like a Christmas tree, completely forgetting Severus’ transgression.
“Of course, mine wife,” Dobby replied almost dreamily. “You are so kind to think about Harry… I'll give it to him immediately!”
Dobby grabbed the plushy and quickly popped out of the room. Severus smiled as he waited for Dobby to appear, but his husband did not return for about thirty minutes. When he returned, he had a somber expression on his face.
“Something happened, Dobby?” Severus inquired feeling a bit worried.
Dobby opened his mouth to speak, but he hesitated a little and the frown between his eyebrows deepened. He took a deep breath before finally replying to Severus, “After I found where little Harry was, I got invisible to not scary him. But when I looked around where little Harry was… I don't think that the place Harry Potter is, is good for him,” Dobby said in serious voice. “He has not been treated very well, Severus.”
Severus arched his eyebrows, silently disagreeing with his husband. He doubted that Lily's son would be ever mistreated, but the family were probably short of luxury for Dobby's standards. Well, but if one thing he was sure is that no matter what, Dobby wasn't going to drop the subject.
“Well, if you think that he hasn't being treated well, go visit him every other day to check on him, giving whatever you want… You just can't be seen by his family, you know right?”
“I know,” Dobby replied with a still troubled face, but a lot more relaxed than before. He pulled Severus from the armchair and kissed slowly, enjoying their peace for sweet minutes before letting him go.
“Let's go to the bedroom now,” Dobby ordered and Severus groaned unhappily.

.o.

From that day onward, Severus didn't hear much about Harry Potter from Dobby even if himself had a present ready for the boy every holiday and birthday. Dobby always said that he was very careful as he took care of Harry. And after years of doing it, when Harry was finally able to understand and have a conversation with Dobby, the elf started to explain and talk about the wizard world to the boy. He also explained about him being there as he was doing a favor for his Harry's mother friend who was concerned about him. Obviously Dobby had to say that he was doing it because he wanted, as elves didn't have much free will… He couldn't risk Harry talking about him to anyone when he entered the wizard world, Malfoys would kill him in seconds if he ever was discovered.
Dobby was the only one that Severus could tolerate when he talked about Harry. The rest of the UK though... Everyone spoke about Harry like he was the second coming of Merlin. They were calling him the Boy-Who-Lived and Severus wanted to throw up in his mouth every time he heard someone saying it.
After a few months of the Dark Lord's demise, every wizard or witch who were found with the dark mark on their forearms were sent directly to Azkaban without Trials or questions. The only three exceptions of this martial law, were Regulus Black, Lucius Malfoy and Sirius Black.
Regulus despite being presumed dead, was pardoned for being a criminal because he was declared a spy by Dumbledore himself.
Lucius was caught with the Dark Mark, but he pleaded innocence because he was being imperioused by the Dark Lord. With his influence, a true was held for him and he was sent free.
Sirius Black on the other hand. Didn't have a Dark Mark on his body, but was found in a crime scene after killing 12 muggles and a wizard muttering about being responsible for the death of the Potters. He was sent to Azkaban in the same night and called a traitor by the entire country. But Sirius didn’t have a Dark Mark and it was this information that was completely overlooked by everyone that left Severus… Concerned.
Yes, Severus was concerned for Sirius Black. Because there wasn’t a single possibility of Sirius being a Death Eater without being marked. It was common knowledge. Severus knew this when he was being groomed to become a Death Eater. The fact that Sirius went to prison without a trial, also collaborated to his concerns… A couple of months later, after almost every known Death eater was locked away, Severus went to the Ministry to see if he could do something about Black situation.
It wasn’t a surprise for no one when he couldn’t. Only someone like Dumbledore could instigate a trial, but for what Severus heard, Dumbledore wasn’t replying any of the ministry’s letters about Sirius Black.... What could Severus do? Nothing. After a dozen times of meeting in the ministry, Severus had to give up on the matter and let it drop.

.o.

By 1991, Severus Snape was a name that almost every single wizard and witch knew about. He was the brilliant and youngest to date Potions Master that leveled up the standard quality of potions in the whole Europe. His potions factory employed twenty potions masters that could only brew the potions by Master Snape methods. And as Severus had envisioned, he could sell his potions for a fair price and still have enough to have profit and pay the employees. The factory had also an huge experimental laboratory that the employees could work inside for their own research, but each new potion that was projected there, the patent instantly belonged to the company. The master that discovered got a share in the profits, making both parties happy and the business never stop flourishing.

After 16 years together in which 13 of them wearing the same glamour, Dobby had perfected it to the point that he could wear it anywhere and don't get concerned of it dropping. As the years passed, Lucius kept ignoring Dobby to a point that even when the manor needed more hands, Lucius would lease some elf instead of calling for him. But Dobby instead of suffering for being rejected by his Master, he was enjoying his life by Severus side as if he was a free elf. He loved to work helping Severus in the factory and all the employees knew he was their employer’s partner, but they were discreet and the gossip never leaked from the factory… And well, some sex escapades on the office made their work even more enjoyable to bear. Severus’ office desk was proven sturdy more times than they could count.
When Dobby went to give Harry's gift for his birthday, he discovered that Dursleys weren't planning to let Harry go to Hogwarts and immediately popped back to tell Severus about the problem. Severus oriented Dobby to intercept the next Hogwarts letter when it came and give it to him so he could pass by Harry and ask for a visit claiming that he and his muggle family didn't know how to proceed and needed help.
Severus’ plan worked and in a week time, Minerva McGonagall herself went to Private Drive to have a meeting with Harry and the Dursleys. Later Harry told Dobby how things went and said that Minerva threatened them and they were really pissed about it. But they didn't want to risk another unexpected visit and thus relocated Harry to the bedroom upstairs. For Harry though, this wouldn't make such a difference he had a magical case with an entire house built by Dobby magically inside of it. The house was complete, a library with a study on, a bedroom, a stocked kitchen even a small garden so Harry could play inside.
What left Severus thinking was a small tidbit that Harry said to Dobby: Hogwarts was searching for a new Potions Master. And Severus was seriously considering getting the job. For one, he would be closer to Harry and could watch over him and two he always wanted to teach Potions at Hogwarts. He would need to create a spot in the factory to take care of the administration for him and then he would need to hire another potions master, something he hasn't done in six years. All of his employees were really talented and liked working for him. Severus had befriend all of them, celebrating holidays and festivities together with their family or going for a whiskey after their job was done. That's why he knew he could trust them to keep the business flowing.
A week later he sent a letter to the Hogwarts Headmaster offering himself for the job and asking for an interview. He didn't expect to have his former Potions Professor knocking on his factory door the very next day. But Professor Slughorn had brought all the documentation with him so Severus could sign and promptly become for the next seven years the new Potions Professor, Resident Potions Master and the Head of Slytherin. Slughorn left as abruptly as he had come.
That made Severus hesitate a little... The man was too dam happy to let it go of his job.
However, nothing at this point would make him stop his plans to return to Hogwarts. And returning to Hogwarts was like returning home. He loved every part of the castle and his new accommodations at the school, despite being considerably smaller than his actual home, was perfect for him. Severus loved the cozy and warm feeling he felt as he entered it, after moving his things to here. It was cold yes, but nothing that a few charms and a big fireplace couldn't change. Plus, Dobby could also come and go freely at Hogwarts and the elf ended up spending all nights with him and he still went to the factory at afternoon so he could check things for Severus.
He enjoyed two peaceful weeks at Hogwarts without no one around and it definitely lifted up his spirits, because it had been a long time since he had a vacation from work. So one the first day, he was excited to start working. The sorting ceremony went without problems, everyone fussed about the Boy-Who-Lived, but Harry, already used to the title and expecting things to be uncomfortable for a while, stuck up with the friends he made at Diagon Alley, Neville Longbottom and Hermione Granger and talked politely to anyone, but never showing his scar or answering questions about his parents... Severus had to agree that Dobby did a wonderful job at rising Harry. The boy was tall and looked well fed, but he didn't carry himself like a bully as James when younger.
Severus had been quite involved in Harry's education despite never seen the boy. As the boy grew up, Severus prepared some self study guides for the boy and collect himself every book to put inside the boy's library. So he knew by Dobby that Harry was quite dedicated to his studies. When classes started, Severus was always observing Harry's development in his studies and Harry didn't disappoint him not even once. He studied hard and was always pairing with either Granger or Longbottom, their potions were the best from the Gryffindors side of the class. Longbottom was horrible at the start, but with patience, Severus and Harry was able to teach the boy the art of not screwing up, making him stay focused on what he was doing. Severus was proud to see the boy being able to complete a potion. The Longbottoms were a an old pureblood family and it was not going to be by Severus' hands that the boy would leave Hogwarts being stupid about potions!
As the months passed, Severus was sure about two things: very few people could get a potion right and that he really loved teaching that little dunderheads. Well, he loved Potions and he took pleasure in showing to the new and fresh minds how wonderful it was. Obviously he got some trouble makers are the first weeks of classes, but with some nasty detention activities and huge drop of house points, by the second month no one spoke when he was teaching or tried to sabotage their colleagues’s work. Near Holloween, Severus was already fully adapted to the new routine and he could say that he was getting very good at his job, even if got a little boring sometimes. He had befriended most of the professors, but he couldn't for his dear life to engage in a conversation with neither Quirinus Garlic Quirrell or the Sybill Hack Trelawnay. From those idiots he wanted distance, so he always sat between Minerva and Pomona to have peace.
The only thing that he hated the most was the giggling girls and ogling boys. Dobby obviously knew about it because Harry told him all about the dozens of teenagers who had crushes on his Potions Professor. Severus had so many hickies these days that he was getting tired of masking them every day! Dobby was such a jealous bastard that Severus wanted to slap him when Dobby came with fire on his eyes after hearing some gossip. Severus was also eager for this moments, the sex was fucking fantastic. The elf always made sure to touch every part of Severus's body. Fucking him slow as he marked his perky tits with hickies or rough fucking him so he could stuff Severus full of his come.
It was intense and those sessions always made Severus walk funny for the next day as the healing potions were still doing their job...
However, there was a single person's attention on his person that left Dobby concerned the most: Professor Quirrell. Dobby had an habit of visiting Severus from time to time and he had witnessed such moments when Quirell's gaze wouldn't leave Severus' presence and they always would have a strange look on them. And worse, two weeks prior Halloween, Harry had finally confessed to Dobby the reason he was missing DADA classes, making Severus start distrusting the hideous man.
On the Halloween day, Severus wore a beautiful dark wine inner robe that hugged his body and only got loose by his hips and a black outer robe that covered a little of his lean silhouette, but still left it exposed for a peak. His long hair was braided with gold threads like the threads of his robes. When he entered the great Hall, (sort of like this) he would have to be blind and deaf to not notice the affect he had on the students who had a crush on him... It was unfortunately a lot. The HufflePuffs were kind of scared of him, but the rest of the students were none of ashamed to take a look at the mysterious and genius Potions Professor. Ravenclaws were the ones to freely check him out, Griffindors were more discrete because he was the Head of Slytherin after all... The Sytherins though, was a house divide. Half of the population knew about him deserting up the Death Eaters when he was young, but half of Slytherin or didn't care or didn't know, and it was these students who subtly would take a second look at the lean and powerful form of the professor.
But ignoring every single students, Severus made his way to the staff table. He carefully sat at his reserved chair and was quickly to stop a moan from escaping his mouth. The thick plug holding Dobby's come inside his ass had shifted and put a delicious pressure on his prostate. He tried to compose himself before greeting Minerva and a few minutes later he was getting better at acting like nothing was happening... Until he felt a small hand touching his shoulder.
He didn't have to look to know that Dobby behind him right now, he couldn't look too, because Dobby was probably invisible.
“I knew something was wrong with that Garlic head!” Dobby whispered in his ear. “He let a troll enter the castle!”
Severus’ mood shifted from sexy hot to ice cold in seconds, Severus put a small Confundus charm on his lips and a Mufiatos around his and Dobby space.
“I followed him when he went to the Dark Forest,” Dobby continued talking. “When he returned with a troll on his heels talking to someone who wasn't there, but he was calling whoever My Lord like Malfoy would talk! So I acted quickly before they would notice me, I stunned Quirrell and the Troll and left them tied and hidden just near the forest. I also took Quirrell’s wand with me.”
Severus was stunned at sudden turn of events, but he knew he couldn't show any reaction on his face. he knew that at any given moment someone could be watching him, so he subtly nodded his head before whispering, “Go guard them, I'll go later when the dinner is half way through.” and as soon as Severus said that, Dobby's hand left his shoulder.
Now, Severus was left pondering what he should do next. If he tried to say to that Quirrell was bringing a troll to the school, the Defense Professor could easily throw an excuse. He needed to confront the professor alone to know his intentions, because no one was wondering through dark forests saying "my lord" to trees... Last time he checked. So he need solid proves about Quirrell's wrong doings, because with Harry being here this year and for the next seven as a vulnerable target, Severus was not going to sit idle... He was only here because of Harry any way.
During the diner he tried to act like he normally would, chatting with his former professors and now colleagues calmly about some trivial matters or new scientific discoveries. However, as soon as he finished his meal he said goodbye and literally ran to the Dark Forest. Mid way to there he remembered to vanish the damn plug inside his arse so he could properly ran, finally on the forbidden forest, he cast a Point Me location spell to Dobby and quickly found a glamoured Dobby looking quite pale waiting for him. As he approached his husband, the elf snapped his fingers and suddenly n front him appeared two bodies on the ground.
He looked at Severus with a finger held over his lips. Severus immediately cast a silencing spell over the bodies. “Dobby?” He called his name knowing that Dobby would fill him in.
“There’s a face behind the turban,” Dobby explained. “After I came back from informing you, I heard a voice and it was trying to wake Quirrell up, but it couldn't. I got invisible again and when I removed the turban I found a very ugly face with its eyes open trying to see who immobilized Quirrell…”
Severus thanked Merlin for having glamoured himself with Notice-me-not charm. Taking a deep breath, he looked at Quirrell's direction and saw an ugly and distorted face on the man's head. It's eyes were wide open, looking very much pissed.
Severus tried to swallow the dizziness that overcome his body. The gut feeling he was having was saying that this was related to the dead Dark Lord. There's no way that this could a coincidence. Harry's curse scar burned when he was near Quirrell... If he Severus was right, their time of peace of literally over. But if he was wrong, he would need to investigate about Quirrell. That thing on his head is unnatural, something that only dark magic could come up with.
“Dobby, you are very good at direction and location magic, right?” Severus asked the elf, who still looking disgusted at Quirrell.
“I am. Like owls, we elves can locate everyone on earth when they aren't hidden by a spell,” Dobby answered looking at him curiously. “Why?”
“Try to find Lord Voldemort ,” Severus instructed in a whisper even though he knew that the thing wouldn't hear him.
Dobby looked very much shocked, but instead of questioning him he concentrated and snapped his fingers “casting” the location spell. After a couple of minutes, he shook his head and looked at Severus, “Nothing.”
“Nothing?” Severus questioned quite exasperated. He had almost certain…
“Maybe I'm searching for the wrong thing…” Dobby said interrupting Severus thoughts.
“No,” Severus interjected. “You just said that you can find anyone on the entire - Anyone. You don't find things!"
"I'm not following, Severus," Dobby said with a frown, cocking his head.
Severus shook his head. "I feel a powerful dark magic coming from Quirrell, Dobby. I don't know why I haven't felt before, but I have a horrible guess that this can be related to Lord Voldermort," Severus explained and paused for a deep breath. "There's a face right at Quirrell's head, just like it would be if Peeves was passing through someone else's head... Do maybe, I might be wrong... But I'll try this time, trying to find the ghost:.."
"Do you think it'll point to the thing at Quirrell's head?" Dobby asked.
"If I'm correct, yes," Severus replied and then concentrated before casting the spell. "Point me to Lord Voldemort’s ghost!”
He waited for the spell’s arrow to appear showing the direction to Voldemort’s position.
But nothing happened.
“It's not working!” Severus said angrily before cursing hell and back. He was so sure! The Dark Lord was involved with that thing!
“Maybe he isn't a ghost…” Severus mumbled putting both hands on his head. If he wasn't Voldemort's ghost… What could it be? Maybe something similar to a portrait cast on the man's head… Or golem created by Voldemort's portrait…
“Could it be his spirit?” Dobby suggested. “It isn't the same as ghost, right?”
“No, it isn't,” Severus agreed. “Try locating it using Lord Voldemort's spirit or Lord Voldemort's soul and see if it works.”
Dobby closed his eyes for excruciatingly slow minutes, by Severus perception, before opening it again with a troubled expression.
“This shouldn't be right… I'm searching for Lord Voldemort's soul after spirit failed, but my arrow is spinning without stopping. If I concentrate on its movements I can see it stopping briefly before moving again… It's confusing .”
Severus felt his insides churn as he put the pieces together. He knew why the arrow was acting like that.
“Your arrow points to Quirrell’s direction?” He asked in a whisper, dreading the answer.
Dobby cast the spell again and after some slow minutes, he looked surprised. “Yes, it does,” Dobby confirmed as he quickly closed his eyes again to concentrate. More minutes passed before he opened again. “There's more than one! Now I see! I see!”
Severus felt like throwing up.
Dobby moved from where he was stating and got in front of Severus., so could touch the wizard's cold face with his hand, getting closer to him and asking with a concerned voice, “Are you alright?”
“Doesn't matter,” Severus said emotionless, ignoring Dobby's concern. "Can you count how many times have the arrow stopped?"
Dobby nodded, looking curiously at Severus.
“How many times, Dobby?”

“Seven,” Dobby answered simply and it was then that he looked at Severus with wide eyes. Terror veiled his face as he understood .

“Can you give the location of them?”

“I can give the general position of two. But for the other five we would need to follow the arrow,” Dobby replied.

Severus took a deep breath before looking at his husband in the eye. “I don't know what's happening, Dobby. But somehow Voldemort's soul is in seven different places and one of them is right here inside this man's head…”
“We need to kill all of them.” Dobby said with voice filled with determination.
“We will, Dobby.” Severus agreed before kissing his husband deeply. They would do it together.
