A few days later Remus could honestly say that he was feeling better.Severus managed to persuade him to make a truce with his other personality.He did not have a problem with controlling outbursts of anger. In addition, he even on few occasions allowed Severus to talk to the 'wolf'. He felt almost jealous - Severus was much more pleasant and polite towards the wolf, to the point where two of them reached a sort of a mutual understanding.

Today he had classes only in the morning, upon a return to dungeon he decided to work on their research. He was surprised how much of it Snape already did. Reading through Snape's crumpet handwriting, he felt thirsty.

"Dobby... Dobby"

"What Mr Lupin need?" Asked elf popping out of thin air.

"Can I have some lemonade, please?"

"Yes." Elf disappeared, but moments later he appeared again. A full pitcher of lemonade levitated for a second above his head, before all contents poured on his head. "Your lemonade, Mr Lupin, sir."

"Dobby!" He yelled, jumping away from the table. "Bloody hell!"

"Do, Mr Lupin, wants something else?"

"What did I do to deserve this Dobby?" He asked but elf disappeared. "Dobby, come back here and explain yourself."

"You lied to Dobby." Squeaked elf, appearing again. "You promised, and then you hurt Professor Snape. You are a bad man, Mr Lupin."

"Dobby did you do this to my hair?"

"Yes." Big eyes of the elf were angry and spiteful.

"Can you turn it back?"

"Yes, Dobby can."

"Will you turn it back?"

"No!" Shrieked Dobby and disappeared again.

He started to laugh. Changed his clothes to dry ones and sat in a chair. Well, I did deserve that.

Maybe , whispered voice in his head.

"What do you know?"

Friend don't hit friend, stated voice.

"It was yours doing."

No. I protect friend.

"You beat him up!"

I needed to talk.

"I hate you." Squeezed Remus

"Remus, my boy..." He jumped on a sound of Albus's voice. "Are you alright?"

"Yes, I was,... just talking to myself."

"With a 'wolf'? Yes, Severus informed me. It is all good."

"Yes. Sit down Albus, I'll make us some tea."

"You can call for a house elf." Offered Albus taking the other armchair.

"I'd rather not. Dobby is angry with me."

"Ah, yes. Dobby developed quite a soft spot for Severus."

"I can tell, he did this with my hair and he refuses to turn it back. I'm afraid I will be forced to go through my life like this."

"Not necessarily," Chuckled Albus. "Did you try to ask Severus to talk with Dobby?"

"No, no, I did not."

"You should. You should consider yourself lucky, better Dobby than Severus' family."

"His family?"

"Not that they care about him much, but they would use him as an excuse to bring you down."

"What do you know about his family, I was not sure that he has it."

"We all have family Remus. People do not just appear out of thin air."

"I know but he never talks about them."

"No, I imagine he does not. Did you ever asked him."

"I did not. I am asking you now."

"My dear boy, it is not my story to tell." Albus dismissed further conversation about Severus and switched to more mundane, and less interesting, topic.
