----------------------------------

It was eight o’clock in the evening. The sun was going down quickly and the power of the moonlight seemed to grow with every minute. The werewolf was sitting next to the window, watching the last shining lights of the sun staining the sky red.


Sighing he stood up and looked at Sirius.

“I have to go” he said tiredly

“Are you sure you want to go alone, I can transform…”

“No Sirius… I prefer to do it alone”

“As you wish”, he said angrily and keep on reading the Daily Proph

Remus approached him and kissed him tenderly. Then he went down the stairs and went to the small cellar placed under the house. It was a tiny room, with nothing inside except a small window with iron bars on the wall and an old wooden table.


Carefully he undressed himself and left his clothes on the table. Then his eyes met the pale silhouette of the moon and he tensed. Its pale light filled his eyes and noticed his body changing. And unbearable pain hit his body so strong that he had to kneel down. His arms and legs changed and were covered with a soft fur, his back arched and his mouth grow bigger.


The world around him faded away and all the colors disappeared. His human mind hid behind the pounding rage of the wolf. This month the influence of the moon was especially hard and the wolf was angry and wild. Without the Wolfbane the transformation was especially hard but Remus didn’t have the courage to ask for it.


The whole night was horrible, the wolf was constantly crashing against the walls and deep cuts and wounds marked his fragile body. When the moon finally disappeared and the sun filled the room, a wounded body fell down the floor with a loud crash. Then a low moan escaped from his mouth and tears of pain ran freely down his cheeks.

After a few minutes he heare noe noise of footsteps behind the door. A dark silhouette entered the room and kneeled next to the bleeding body and stretched him in his arms. Confused and unable to see properly he let himself fall against the warm body. The werewolf raised his head and looked at the face, smiling and sleepy he caressed his face tenderly and pushed his face against his, kissed him deeply.


“Severus...” he muttered and kissed him again “It hurts…”

“Shhh…I’m here… you will be okay” Sirius said, deeply hurt


He embraced Remus’ body gently and held him until he fell asleep.


---------------------------------

It was midnight. The soft autumn wind filled the room producing small waves on the surface of the silver curtains hanged around a four-posted bed. Behind the heavy curtains a tall silhouette pretended to be sleeping quietly, but terrible nightmares were roaming his dreams that night.

All sweaty the Potions Master woke up abruptly, shaking under the lanolin sheet beds. A skinny pale hand removed the long black hairs from his face and he let himself fall down again against the mattress. Still trembling, he closed his eyes and tried to calm down.

After a few minutes his breath was quiet again and he was starting to fall asleep when a warm pair of arms embraced him. He tensed. He wanted to know who the intruder was but he felt so well in those arms that he didn’t move

“Who are you?” he asked out loud


“I won’t leave you again Severus”

The Potions Master opened his eyes and stared at the warm body on his side

“Remus” he whispered, while a heavy weight was pressing against his naked chest

But a pleading mouth covered his before he was able to speak again


‘You are dreaming… he is not real … send him away’ a little voice said in his head

Severus knew he should wake up, he knew he should go away, dreaming about his old lover was not going to help him, but when those hands caressed his chest, moving up and down to reach all of his torso he knew he could never escape from him.

“I don’t care… I want him” he said at the little voice and embraced Remus’ body hungrily, kissing him just like he was going to disappear.


Remus smiled and took off Severus’ underwear after taking off his own clothes, and the contact of the two bodies made the Potions Master tremble in pure need. The werewolf smiled wildly and kissed him deeply. Slowly Remus pushed him under his body and penetrated him roughly, pressing himself against the pale body of the Potions Master and kissing him hard and tender, just like their first time in the dungeons nine years ago.

Severus reached his climax and suddenly all seemed to fade away and a knock on the door woke him up.

“Remus” he cried and desperately tried to find his lover

The knock on the door was persistent and Remus was gone. He sighed and tried to calm down


Tiredly he stood up; he put on his robe on his bare chest and opened the door. It was Moody. Severus opened his mouth to send that ‘stupid git’ out of his chambers, but before he could utter a word, the visitor said


“Before you say anything it’s Albus who needs you not me, so please avoid your sarcastic comments on my person and follow me” and after saying this he turned around and started walking away.


The Potions Master shut his mouth and followed him angrily


‘Why the old bastard had to plan his meetings in the middle of the night?’ He was a bad sleeper and he was definitely not in the mood to hear the headmaster babbling about some stupid problem the Potter boy had (because he was sure it was something related with that annoying boy). He had enough with the weekly Occlumency lessons with the brat.


He arrived at the Headmaster office and took his usual seat without paying attention to the other wizards around. After thirty disappointing minutes freezing due to the fact he was only wearing his robe, Albus made his entrance in the office. With a really concerned look on his face he immediately started to speak.


“I’m sorry to convoke you so late my friends, but there’s something we need to discuss. As you all know, young mister Potter had been elected to participate in the Triwizard Tournament this year and we still don’t know how that can be possible because he is not old enough to participate and the boy swore to me he didn’t put his name in the sorting”

“And of course you believe him” Severus said visibly annoyed

“What do you mean Severus?” Albus asked him surprised

“Oh come on Albus” the Potions Master said standing up “It’s clear that he put his name in the sorting on purpose, it’s seen that he is in need of some kind of attention, maybe he will try to play the hero again this year” he said sarcastically.

“But the boy swore to me ... what else do we need?”

“Veritaserum” Severus responded resolutely

“No Severus, he gave his word and I believe him, and there’s nothing else to discuss about that” the Headmaster finished

Even angrier the Potions Master sat down and the Headmaster proceeded.

“I am worried because I think Voldemort and his followers can be behind all that and it can be dangerous, the sorting can’t be changed now so we will have to be careful. Severus, I need you to investigate about it on your next meeting with Voldemort” he said and looked at him intently


Severus sighed and nodded. The Headmaster smiled at him.


“Alastor, Minerva… please stay alert and inform me of any rumor you hear about who could have introduced Potter’s name on the sorting, even if you don’t consider it important” and the two professors agreed.


“This is all for now, you can go and rest. Minerva, please, if you are so kind to stay for a minute…” he concluded.


They all stood up and went back to their chambers. Severus was walking back to the dungeons when a burning ache started to grow on his left arm, it was the dark mark. He bent down in pain and rested a hand on the wall. He breathed a few times and went back to the Headmaster’s office; he needed to inform Dumbledore about the meeting. When he reached the door he heard a conversation between the Headmaster and Professor McGonagall.


“Do you think this is a good idea Albus?” McGonagall asked concerned.

“I don’t know Minerva, but Harry needs it, I’ve seen him quite concerned about the entire Triwizard Tournament thing, and staying with the remaining of his family can help”

“And what about Severus”


The Potions Master heard the Headmaster sighing


“I don’t know that Minerva, but he can’t keep avoiding Remus the rest of his life. They made they decision when they decided to give up, and they will have to learn how to live with it, both Remus and Severus”

“So you are decided”

“Yes, tomorrow I’ll go to Grimauld Place to invite them. They can spend the Christmas here, we will have enough room, and almost all the students go back home these days”


‘Remus is going to come back … for Christmas… with Black’. He thought with a mix of bitterness and pain roaming his mind. But suddenly a terrible pain hit him and knocked the door quickly. A low voice made him enter and he opened the door.

“I’m sorry to interrupt you Albus but I want to inform you I have a meeting with the dark lord and I have to go now. Tomorrow I’ll inform you…”

“Don’t worry my boy… go now… we’ll talk about it when you have rested”

“Thank you Albus, Minerva” Severus said.


Unable to walk properly Severus took his broom and flew out of Hogwarts with his black robe flying around his skinny body. When he was out of the school lands, he apparated in the middle of a Death Eater meeting in front of the dark silhouette of Voldemort.


--------------------------------------------------------------



A week later, Remus woke up in his bed, it was Friday evening and he was finally recovered. He got up and went straightly towards the kitchen, he was starving. In the kitchen he found Sirius cooking something that smelled incredibly tasty. Smiling he approached Sirius and embraced his broad shoulders.

“Mmmm… it smells delicious… what is it?” Remus asked happily

But Sirius went away from his embrace and filled two dishes with the food, and started to eat in silence. Worried, the werewolf sat in front of him


“Sirius, what happened?” he asked, but the dark-haired man ignored him


“Sirius” the wolf insisted and he rested a hand on Sirius’ arm


Sirius looked at him, visibly hurt and spat


“Nothing” and tried to eat again


“Then why are you angry?”


“I’m not angry”


“Oh come on Sirius, tell me what’s the matter”


“Do you wanna know… do you really want to know? Sirius shouted loudly and stood up.


“I’m tired Remus, tired of your attitude, tired of seeing you refuse me and tired of your lies…”


Remus looked at him utterly surprised


“I… I didn’t lie to you”

“You called him, Remus”

“ Who did I call… when…” Remus said trying to calm Sirius down

“After the transformation… I went to see you … and you called me by his name” Sirius shouted again

“I don’t understand you”


“For Merlin’s sake Remus… you called me Snape”


Remus stared at him scared and then understood… ‘the dream… the dream he thought he had after the full moon… it was real… Severus didn’t hold him, it was Sirius’


“Oh no Sirius” Remus said tried to approach him. “I’m so sorry… I didn’t mean to… I’m sorry”


Sirius looked at him briefly and kissed him roughly and hard, he pushed him against the table and started to undressed him. But then Remus panicked and pushed Sirius away. The dark-haired man looked at his eyes and said


“I have had enough Remus… I need you… I needed your body so badly since we came here and you keep on refusing me… I love you…but I can’t go on with this.”


“What do you mean?” Remus asked preoccupied.


“You need to make a decision Remus… if … if you love me you’ll have to show me… you refuse my touches and my kisses…. If you love me… you know what I want and you have to decide if you can give it to me” Sirius finished and went back to his chambers.


Remus stayed still in the kitchen thinking about what just happened. He needed to rest; he was not in the mood to think about it at that moment. Slowly he went out of the kitchen, turned off the light and went away.


whilwhile, in the kitchen, the food remained forgotten on the dishes and the darkness and the silence suddenly filled the whole house.
