Chapter 118

Snape was ready for today’s classes, this day would bring him the Weasley twins, they were he knew but would never tell anyone a very interesting and funny part of his days, he would be sorry to see them leave at the end of the year. Snape walked to the door and went up to breakfast. Snape did not get very far when he heard the voice he hated to hear more then even the Dark Lord.

“Professor Snape, how good to see you, are you heading for breakfast, we can go there together.” Umbridge said in what she clearly thought was a cute girly voice.

Snape did not look at her as he walked by her, “No I am not.” Snape said sharply as he walked off heading to the kitchen. Snape walked into the kitchen the elves were very busy sending up extra food when it ran out above them.

“Hello could I get a plate in here.” Snape asked softly as several elves immediately brought him a plate of eggs, bacon, hash browns and toast.

“Thank you, this looks…… great…..” Snape had just spotted Dobby with several hats on and socks on his feet.

Snape raised an eyebrow as the elf smiled happily at him.

“Tis presents from someone in the Gryffindor Tower common room sir, Dobby found them when we went to clean there sir, since Dobby is free elf he doesn’t mind taking them, so the others are able to stay here as they please.” Dobby said happily.

Snape grinned at him a small nod of his head, “I am sure I can figure out whom it is who has made those too.” Snape said looking at the funny hats, which looked as though they were wooly hearts or some other organ from a diseased body.

“Is it Harry Potter sir?” Dobby asked enthusiastic.

“Ah no, most likely a very good friend of his, Hermione Granger,” Snape told the elf who looked positively thrilled.

“I knew it had to be someone close to Harry Potter sir, for only a good friend of Harry Potter would be so good to elves sir, for Harry Potter is good and noble and kind and…”

“I understand….” Snape looked at the elf, “What is your name?”

“Oh sir, I is Dobby the free elf sir, I is so happy to be here working sir.”

Snape grinned at the elf, “Dobby huh, did you work for the Malfoy’s?”

Dobby’s ear droop a tab bit, as he looked guilty, “I was sir, ‘til the great Harry Potter free me sir, Dobby prefers his freedom sir, please do not tell my old masters I is here.” Dobby looked pleadingly at Snape who looked surprised.

“I have no intentions of telling them where you are Dobby, and I am most glad you are enjoying your freedom, it really suits you.” Snape smiled as he ate the last of his food.
