Chapter 8
Title: The Hidden Life
Author: mtranc3
Rating: R
Spoilers: All six books
Summary: Sirius, Lucius, and the secret between. Pairings: Lucius Malfoy/Sirius Black, James Potter/Sirius Black, James Potter/Lily Evans, Severus Snape/Sirius Black
Warnings: Slash, Unbeta'd
Author's notes: One of my favourite pairings in HP fandom is Lucius/Sirius, one that is unfortunately not very popular, so at the lack of related fic I've decided to write Sirius/Lucius myself, to satiate my cravings. It's kind of experimental, because I've only written (and mostly read) Harry/Draco, and I don't really know how exactly it will proceed, but I thought I'd give this partially formed plot-bunny a chance.

Chapter 8: Push and shove
20th September 1975
"Look, He fell of again!"
"Honestly, it's not all that difficult!"
"Yeah, but he's so clumsy!"
Severus scrambled to get back on his feet, while the girls around him broke into giggles. He wanted to shut his ears against their laughter; he hated being in the centre of attention.
Don't laugh at me, leave me alone! Don't laugh at me, don't laugh at me, don't laugh at me...
"No!"
Severus woke up with a start. He blinked a few times in the darkness, trying to calm his raging heartbeat.
That dream again...
It was his first humiliation at Hogwarts. The Slytherins and the Gryffindors were having a flying lesson and he would keep falling off his broom, unable to maintain balance. Even the girls were doing better than him, and they were teasing about it mercilessly. It was also the first time he had noticed Lily Evans. Some years later Severus would realize it was during that very lesson that he fell in love with her. The memory of her crystal-clear laughter, and the image of her glimmering eyes, would be haunting him forever.
----
Severus eyed the Gryffindor table surreptitiously. Remus Lupin was absent again, and Severus itched to find out what Lupin's frequent absences meant. He had once seen Madame Pomfrey lead Lupin near the edge of the school's grounds, but besides that blasted tree, there was nothing else there.
Potter was sitting next to Evans and was trying to distract her from reading a book, but she didn't seem to mind. Across them that almost-Squib Pedigrew was stuffing himself. Black was actually sitting further down, near the 7nth years. He looked bored, as usual, but Severus was so familiar with his facial expressions, having acquired an almost morbid fascination for Black, that he recognized the look as sullen, rather than bored.
He wondered if Black and Potter had had an argument, although that was unlikely; the fabulous four, as they had taken to being called, were thicker than thieves. Severus grimaced in contempt and made to turn his head, but a movement caught his eye; Black was leaving the table alone, and was heading for the doors.
----
Sirius left the Great Hall feeling vexed. Remus was already in the shack, tonight being the full moon, and there was no one to distract him from watching James clowning around Lily Evans. Peter, like always, found James' antics hilarious, and without Remus, Sirius had no one to scoff at James. And he couldn't do it himself, he had made a promise after all; he'd never intervene in James' personal affairs, James had made it so. But his best friend's behaviour was driving him barmy. Better to turn away than having to watch it.
"Why so tense Black?"
Sirius' shoulders stiffened at the voice. Snivellus.
"Bugger off Snivellus."
Snape walked up to Sirius and folded his arms looking pleased.
"Your friends finally realized what a pest you are, and abandoned you? You should be getting used to it by now, what with your family --"
Severus didn't finish because Sirius had grabbed him by the shoulders and pushed him hard. Snape stumbled backwards, and his hand immediately flew to his wand.
"And here I thought you were beyond violence Black, always having Potter do the dirty work for you..."
Sirius clenched his fists in warning,
"Shut up, Snivellus! At least I've got friends."
Snape didn't rise to the bait. His purpose wasn't to fight with Black, despite how much he enjoyed giving Black a taste of his own medicine. No, Snape had other plans.
"I don't see any of them around... and where is Lupin? Hiding near that tree again?"
Sirius' mouth opened in surprise, "How did you -- you sneaky, little --"
Snape then pointed his wand at Black's nose. "Not this time Black... now go ahead, where does Lupin disappear off to?"
Sirius was taken aback by Snape's quick reaction, but he would never allow the git to see him alarmed.
"You think I'd tell you? How daft can you be?"
Severus didn't answer but waved his wand threateningly.
"Alright, Snape, lets have it then."
Severus was caught by surprise when Back pulled his own wand out with a Seeker's speed, and pointed it to his throat. They both spoke at the same time:
"Impedim --"
"Sectumsem --"
"EXPELIARMUS!"
Both wands flew in the air, and landed gracefully on Professor McGonagall's hand. She shook her head, admonishing them for casting spells in the corridors, and gave them back their wands after landing them both in detention and taking off a myriad of points from each House.
Snape hated being scolded by Professors, he wanted to keep a low profile, and do his work as best as he could and he didn't mind whether Professors actually liked him or not, as long as he was left alone. Sirius, who was used to McGonagall's lecturing, seemed indifferent, although he was still eyeing Snape with fury.
"Happy Snivellus? I reckon this is the first time you stepped a toe out of line, feel good?
"Spare me the attempt at sarcasm Black. Besides, you always get detention, you should be used to it. Oh, but I forget, Potter won't be serving it with you. He seems to have a new favourite now, doesn't he?"
"What did you say?"
"You heard me. Potter seems otherwise occupied lately, no time for his friends --"
Sirius cut him off and spoke quickly: "You want to know where Remus is going? Tap the knot in the right side of the tree trunk, and it will stop thrashing about. There's a passage there, it leads right to where Remus is."
Snape laughed low and and mirthful "And you expect me to believe you? Slytherins are not gullible idiots, thanks for the tip, but I rather not get expelled."
Sirius, who had regained his haughty look, put his hands in his pockets and smirked "It's your choice, but then you'll never find out, will you?"
Snape scowled and turned to leave. Sirius watched him go, feeling an almost malicious sort of satisfaction.
