Getting Ready

Sorry for such a short chapter but I wanted to get it posted as soon as possible. I hope I haven't disappointed anyone with Sev's appearance. :D More soon!


The Present Day - Getting Ready


Severus had awoken cold and rest and and his back was aching from sleeping on the sofa and he had slept in. He was tired and cranky and not looking forward to spending the entire day with Remus Lupin and Harry Potter. The first thing he had to do was shower and get dressed.

Entering the bathroom rubbing the sleep from his eyes, Severus caught just the briefest glance of himself in the mirror, but it was enough to make him look again, wide eyed and shocked. His jet black hair was flowing all the way down his back. He had never in his life had his hair so long. He was horrified. He didn't have the time to cut it now. Severus glared at the mirror and headed into the shower.

Severus tried to get through the shower quickly but the added hair took a lot longer to wash than he would have expected. By the time he got out he was even farther behind. He would never make it to breakfast before they were set to leave. He would have just enough time to get dressed and grab a quick cup of coffee.

Severus picked up the stack of clothes Lupin had brought him. He set them on the sofa and picked up the first item. It was a white shirt. A Muggle t-shirt. Severus groaned and tossed it aside. Next on the pile was a sweater. A Muggle sweat-shirt, to be exact. He tossed that aside as well. Two pairs of Muggle jeans followed as well as two pairs of socks and a pair of small black silk underwear. He groaned again and hung his head. It would have to do. He didn't have time to search for anything else and his clothes from the day before, the only thing left from his entire wardrobe, was too damaged to wear.

He started with the socks, which fit fine, then the black briefs, which were about a size too small for him. Being used to boxers, the briefs made him feel very confined and uncomfortable. He pulled on the t-shirt and discovered that it, too, was a too small, about two sizes too small. The white cotton showed off every curve of his chest and nip per perfectly. It felt utterly humiliating. Pulling his hair out from under the shirt reminded Severus that he would need to find something to tie it back. He tried on the sweater but it was much too small, the sleeves ended half way between his wrist and his elbow and it cut off above his waist.

Severus glared at the jeans with utter disgust. He hated Muggle clothes but denim especially. The material was scratchy and had no give to it. He just prayed to all the known deities that they would be long enough for his tall frame. Severus put his feet into the legs and stood up. He was relieved when he was able to pull them over his slim hips and still had room to spare in the leg. He was not impressed to discover just how tight they were, however. He had to suck in his breath and tummy to pull the zipper up. He growled at the way it pinched his waist when he bent over to pull on his boots.

Stepping into the bathroom to tie back his long hair, Severus began cursing and swearing under his breath. He knew Lupin had chosen all of these clothes on purpose. Somehow, Severus would get his revenge and he had all day to plan it. His discomfort would assure that he wouldn't lose focus.

Severus smoothed down his long ponytail and returned to the living room to find his winter cloak, which wouldn't be nearly long enough to cover the Muggle pants, but at least his tightly clad chest would be covered. He was now as ready as he would ever be to go out in public with Lupin and Potter.
