A Reason Why

\"No, that can\'t be right, Severus,\" the tawny haired boy murmured, leaning over Snape\'s shoulder. Soft tendrils of hair brushed the darker boy\'s cheek and his loins tightened. Snape squeezed his eyes shut in frustration.
\"See what I mean,\" Remus continued, pointing to the drawing in their astronomy text book. Snape nearly leaned into Lupin\'s cheek before catching himself and sitting up so suddenly he bumped Remus\'s chin. He slammed the book closed and Remus jumped.
\"I cannot think anymore,\" Snape groused. \"We\'ll never figure this out.\"
Lupin shook his head at the dark Slytherin\'s impatience and bit back a sharp retort. Sighing he murmured, \"perhaps you\'re right. We\'ve been at it for three hours and it\'s getting late.\"
Severus looked up, alarmed. \"I didn\'t mean for us to quit for the night. Just a break.\"
\"No. I think we should give it up for the night. Come on. Lets go down to the kitchens and nick a bite to eat before we turn in.\"
Snape brightened momentarily and then a frown marred his young face. \"What if we get caught? Neither of our houses can afford more points deducted.\"
Remus grinned. \"Oh come on. Live a little. James, Sirius and I do it all the time.\"
A nasty sneer crossed Snape\'s face. \"I should have figured.\"
Remus punched his arm. \"Come on, Grouchy.\"
Soon they stood before the picture of the bowl of fruit and Remus tickled the pear. The door slid open before them and Remus slipped into the huge glistening kitchen, grasping Snape\'s fingers and pulling him in behind him. At once five house elves descended upon them and then drew back in alarm at seeing the dark Slytherin boy. One took a bold step forward and addressed Lupin. \"Remus Lupin. What could we be getting for you?\" The house elf eyed Snape leerily.
Remus grinned. \"Severus and I are hungry. What have you got to snack on?\"
\"Come, come,\" squeaked the house elf, leading the boys to two tall stools sitting in front of a counter.
They were no sooner seated than the elves presented them with an array of cakes and sandwiches and pushed two bottles of butter beer in front of them. Then the house elves promptly disappeared as though they had never been there at all.
The two boys ate in silence for a few minutes and then Severus spoke warily. \"Why do you study with me, Lupin?\"
\"You\'re a good student. We can learn from each other,\" Remus replied easily.
\"Why not study with your Gryffindor buddies?\"
\"Eh. Sirius already knows everything. James is too busy chasing Evans and Peter is just, well, Pete\'s not the brightest.\" Lupin blushed in embarrassment at saying such a negative thing about his friend.
Snape snorted. \"The only thing Black knows is how to raise the robes of every student in this school.\"
Remus hid a grin. \"Don\'t start Severus, okay? Please.\"
Remus reached past Snape to grab another sandwich and Snape\'s nostrils flared, inhaling the sweet aroma of the tawny haired Gryffindor.
\"Why don\'t you study with the Slytherins?\" Remus asked, stuffing a mouthful of sandwich in, pushing a bite into his mouth with a slender finger. Snape licked his lips and groaned inwardly.
\"They are all too busy being full of themselves,\" Snape sneered. \"It gets a bit tiring.\"
\"I guess we\'re just stuck with each other then,\" Remus smiled, and Snape thought - *not as stuck as I\'d like to be.*
Remus spied a rat hovering in a corner and groaned. \"You\'d think the house elves would keep those things out of here.\"
In a flash Snape whipped out his wand. \"Rodenta evenesca,\" he cried, and the rat disappeared in a puff of smoke.
Remus was on his feet, wide-eyed. \"Damn! Where\'d you learn that? We haven\'t had that in Defense.\"
Severus reseated himself and slipped his wand back into his pocket. \"It\'s simple enough.\"
Remus took out his wand and pointed it at a crumpled napkin lying on the counter. \"Papiera evanesca,\" he intoned, but the paper lay there untouched. He tried again without success and Snape chuckled.
\"Your wand movement is wrong. Watch me.\" With a flourish Snape incinerated the napkin and grinned.
Remus tried again and sighed in frustration.
\"Here,\" Snape offered, standing again. He moved behind Remus and reached around to lay his hand over the Gryffindor\'s wand hand. \"The movement is like this.\" Gently he grasped Lupin\'s fingers and guided him through the movement several times until Remus took the lead and Snape\'s hand was simply resting on top of his. Snape\'s eyes widened. Had Lupin actually leaned back against him?
Quickly he pulled his hand away and stuttered, \"you, you do it on your own now.\"
With a flourish Remus toasted a wash cloth hanging over the edge of the sink. \"Too cool,\" he breathed. \"Thanks Severus.\"
The two boys resumed their seats and continued with their snack.
\"Do you ever wonder why they even have the Houses anymore,\" Remus mumbled around his sandwich. \"I kind of get tired of all the competition. After all, aren\'t we all in this together?\"
\"I hardly think it would do to have Lucius Malfoy sharing quarters with a Hufflepuff,\" Severus laughed.
\"Wonder where our illustrious head boy is,\" Lupin wondered.
Snape checked his watch. \"He\'ll be making the rounds soon. Guess we should go before we get caught out after curfew.\"
\"Just a few more minutes, Severus. Lets live on the edge.\" Remus leaned close and whispered, \"I\'d hate to admit this to just anyone Snape, but I think you\'re alright.\"
Snape gasped at the warm breath tickling his ear and stood quickly. \"No. I really think we should go.\"
\"Okay,\" Remus agreed reluctantly as he slid off his stool and walked side by side with Severus to the door.
Just as Snape reached to slide the stone aside Remus grasped his hand. \"Wait. Just a moment.\" The young werewolf stared earnestly into his friend\'s eyes and perched on tip toe to plant a soft kiss right on those lucious Slytherin lips. Just as quickly he stepped back and looked away shyly. \"I\'m sorry,\" he whispered.
Snape looked dumb founded for a second, then yanked the Gryffindor to himself and sealed his mouth over Remus\'s, thrusting his tongue and moaning. *Oh gods* he thought. *Wanted this for so long.*
Lupin opened his mouth wide, sucking that questing tongue in, then thrusting his own forward for a taste that was so sweet, so delicious, he thought he might swoon. \"Uh...Severus...\" Slender fingers entwined themselves at the nape of Snape\'s neck and Remus pressed himself close, needing to feel the length of that tall slender body against his own.
Snape stumbled back slightly, taking the Gryffindor with him. They lost their footing and the kiss was broken as they both fought to keep balance.
Snape was breathing heavily, staring in wonder at this lovely blond vision in front of him and thanking Merlin for what he offered. \"Remus, I...\"
Lupin was first to regain his composure. Gently grasping Snape\'s fingers he murmured softly, \"come on. We should get back to our dorms. Malfoy would love to catch us out late.\"
They parted ways reluctantly, both smiling shyly at each other.
Snape slid the stone to the Slytherin Common Room aside and gritted his teeth as he entered, silently making his way to the stairs to the dorms. \"Hey Snape,\" Augustus Crabbe yelled. \"Out fraternizing with the enemy again? Or were you just fucking him?\"
The other Slytherins snickered and laughed as Snape made his way down the stairs. *Bloody assholes.*
Severus undressed slowly, then wrapped himself in a warm dressing gown. The dungeons were so cold now. He picked up the cursed astronomy book and slid under the blankets wiggling his toes to warm them. A quiet spell lit a candle at the bedside as he flipped through the book, determined to study and be ready for his next session with Remus.
He found himself reading and rereading the same lines as his thoughts wondered to the slender Lupin and the stolen moment of bliss they had shared. Slowly he laid his book aside. \"Nox,\" he murmured as he got on his knees to pull the heavy curtains around the bed. He lay back down, propping his head and shoulders on the pillows, deep in sweet thought.Slowly he pulled his dressing gown open and shivered at the cold. Long cool fingers traced their way over the pale hairless chest, hesitating at turgid nipples and then traveling downward. Across the flat belly they navigated, accompanied by a low \"mmm\" of pleasure.
The digits traveled onward and curved out gently grasping the inside of spread thighs, then turning inward to cup the soft sack between them. \"Uh...\" As he gently fondled his balls Severus\'s mind was awhirl. He would be sixteen in only a few days. Was he old enough to be in love? And was he really in love with Lupin? Or was it just lust? No, he decided. * I think I am in love. Oh, Merlin.*
He traced a soft path along the now stiff erection his thoughts and ministrations had wrought and groaned aloud. \"I want you, Remus,\" he whispered. \"Oh, gods, how I want you.\"
Suddenly the bed curtains whipped back. \"Thinking of me, Severus,\" a smooth drawling voice murmured.
\"Lucius!\" Snape cried moving to cover himself.
\"Extremity restronata!\" Malfoy yelled as slender gold ropes sprang from his wand and effectively bound Snape, arms and legs and spread wide to the head and foot posts of the bed. Snape felt a tightening around his cock as Malfoy flipped his wrist at Snape\'s groin and grinned. Severus strained to see what had been done and his eyes widened in fear as he spied a slim leather strap now tied around his balls and penis.
\"Makes it much more pleasurable, Severus. Sustains the moment, shall we say?\"
Snape struggled with his bindings. \"Lucius, this is ridiculous. Release me at once.\"
\"Oh, I think not, Severus. I\'ve been watching you. And waiting.\"
Snape cursed as Malfoy knelt on the edge of the mattress. \"Shhh, little fifth year. The head boy has something for you.\"
Slowly, ever so slowly, Lucius leaned over and licked the head of Snape\'s now forced erection.
\"Malfoy, stop, damn you!\"
Lucius flicked his tongue again and murmured, \"isn\'t this what you want, Severus? Isn\'t this what you want that filthy Gryffindor to do to you?\"
\"This is private,\" Snape screeched. \"Gods, can\'t a guy even masturbate without a fucking audience?\"
\"I\'m right, aren\'t I, Severus? Well, perhaps you should set your priorities a bit higher.\"
\"Damn you, Malfoy!\"
Lucius straightened up and gave Snape a look of mock hurt. \"You weren\'t thinking of me, Severus? I\'m so disappointed. Perhaps,\" he sneered, \"you were thinking of this.\"
The door to the dorm burst open and Severus cried out at the sight of a struggling Remus Lupin being dragged into the room by two burly Slytherins. They shoved Remus hard and he stumbled to his knees at Malfoy\'s feet. Lupin\'s assailants eyed Snape struggling on the bed and laughed.
\"Get out, you simpletons,\" Malfoy ordered.
Grumbling the boys hurried out. As the door slammed behind them Malfoy shouted a spell and the door locked, sealing the odd threesome in the room together.
Remus struggled to his feet and ran for the door.
\"You\'ll never get it open, Gryffindor,\" Lucius laughed, \"so why bother?\"
Slowly Remus turned, staring in hatred at Malfoy, then in shock at Snape. \"What do you want?\"
\"Oh, I just thought you might like to join Severus and me for a bit of fun,\" Malfoy grinned.
Severus started to shake his head, but Lupin advanced on Malfoy and growled, \"if you and Severus think I have any interest at all in participating in any of your sick sex games, you are sadly mistaken.\" He missed the look of hurt that flicked across Snape\'s features. \"Now let me out of here.\"
\"Severus would like for you to stay, Lupin. He likes you. Why he does is quite beyond me, but I always want my fellow Slytherins to be happy.\"
Severus\'s futile struggles to free himself continued. \"He\'s lying, Remus. I swear...\"
Remus turned hurt eyes to the naked boy spread on the bed. \"I thought we were friends...\"
\"Oh you are, Lupin. But Severus here wants so much more. He\'s a greedy little thing.\"
SLowly Malfoy slipped off his robes and unfastened his trousers. Taking his penis in hand he murmured, \"I think we\'ll start with a little suck, Lupin. Come on. I bet you can do it.\"
\"You\'re fucking crazy,\" Lupin laughed hysterically. \"It isn\'t going to happen.\"
In a flash Lucius turned toward Snape. \"Crucio!\"
A scream ripped from Snape\'s lips as he arched his back and writhed, his forced erection bobbing obscenely.
\"Stop it!\" Lupin screamed. \"Oh gods, just stop it!\"
Malfoy lifted the curse and turned, sneering, back to Remus. \"Now,\" he ordered. \"How about that little suck.\"
Remus stared, rooted to the spot on which he stood. Malfoy turned toward Snape again. \"Need a little more persuasion, Gryffindor?\" he asked, raising his wand.
\"No!\" Remus shouted. Shuffling forward he stared at Snape again, searing pain eminating from the amber eyes. \"Alright. No more of the spells, okay?\"
\"That\'s better,\" Malfoy crooned, dropping a slender hand onto Lupin\'s head as he knelt in front of the silver haired head boy.
\"Malfoy, stop it,\" Snape groaned, still reeling from the pain of the unforgivable curse. \"You\'ve made your point. Now let him go.\"
Lucius ignored Severus and pressed Remus closer. \"Start by tongueing just the head, Gryffindor. That\'s right,\" he encouraged as he felt the boy\'s warm wet tongue flick tentatively over his velvet soft head. When Remus hesitated Lucius growled low in his throat. \"You\'ll stop when I say. Now lap it up.\"
Lucius turned a quarter turn to give Snape a good view, his hand guiding Remus around with him. He grinned lazily at Snape. \"Isn\'t this what you want him to do to you, Severus? Doesn\'t it look good?\"
Snape squeezed his eyes shut and turned away.
Lucius returned his attention to the blond kneeling in front of him. \"Now lick along the length. Nice and slow.\"
Remus groaned, afraid he was going to vomit and Malfoy laughed. \"Hear him Snape? He likes it. Moan and groan little Gryffindor. Are you getting hard yet? Better start sucking now.\"
Snape tried again. \"Lucius, please. It\'s enough.\"
Malfoy reached out and rubbed Snape\'s erection. \"Don\'t worry. You\'ll get your turn.\"
Snape moaned desperately and cursed himself for being foolish enough to think he could ever have had Remus for a friend.
\"Now suck,\"Malfoy ordered.
Remus swallowed hard to keep his rising gorge at bay and began sliding his lips up and down Malfoy\'s length.
\"Take it all,\" Malfoy smirked as he jerked his hips forward. Remus gagged and pulled back, getting a mouth and face full of thick white cum. He dropped to hands and knees and vomited, gasping and struggling to suck in air.
Malfoy shook his head disdainfully and kicked Lupin in the ribs with a sharp toed boot. \"Severus, my sweet Severus. Are you so sure this is what you want. A little pathetic, don\'t you think?\"
Malfoy sat down on the bed and slid his trousers the rest of the way off.
\"Get up, Lupin. Get up here and give Snape a kiss. He wants you so much.\"
Lupin shook his head. \"N, no. No more. I won\'t do this.\"
\"Tsk tsk,\" Malfoy clicked his tongue. \"Crucio!\"
Again Snape wrenched and writhed against his bonds, crying out in agony. Malfoy smiled down at the boy cringing and crying on the floor. Slowly Remus rose and moved stonily to the bed. He stared with empty eyes at the agonized Snape. Malfoy lifted the curse and Snape sank into the mattress, limbs twitching, tears of pain pouring down his face.
\"Do it\", Malfoy screeched. Remus bent and touched his lips lightly to Severus\'s.
\"Tongue! Put your tongue in his mouth Gryffindor. It\'s what he wants.\"
As Remus slipped his tongue into the Slytherin\'s mouth Snape gagged at the taste of bile. Softly he whispered, \"Remus, I\'m sorry.\"
Malfoy clapped his hands together. \"Enough, enough. Get your clothes off Lupin.\"
Resigned to his doom, Remus slowly slipped out of his robes and shirt, then trousers and underwear, until he stood naked but for his socks. Malfoy caressed his own throbbing erection and murmured his approval.
\"Lie on your belly with your legs over the edge of the bed, Gryffindor.\"
Lucius positioned himself between Remus\'s legs and grinned at Snape. He leaned over Remus and slowly slid his lips down over Snape\'s cock, then dragged sharp teeth back up the length causing Severus to cry out in pain.
\"Watch him, Severus. Watch him while I fuck his brains out. See the ecstasy in his face while I take my pleasure. The pleasure you want from him.\"
\"Spread your ass open, Lupin. Now!\"
Remus reached back with shaking hands, turning saddened eyes to Severus. Snape winced at the hollow look in those eyes he so cherished and turned his face away. Remus turned his face into the mattress feeling abandoned.
Malfoy positioned himself and with one huge lunge impaled himself completely up Lupin\'s virgin opening. Remus screamed in agony and clawed at the blankets, struggling to get away from the excrutiating pain.
\"Listen to his cries of lust, Snape,\" Malfoy goaded, drawing back and plunging again. \"He\'s nice and tight, Severus. You\'ll enjoy him.\"
Malfoy rammed mercilessly for what seemed eternity to Severus. His heart died a little with each cry of terror and agony that Malfoy wrung from Remus\'s lips. Slowly Remus\'s struggles weakened until he was barely clinging to the blankets with his fingertips, no more screams, only quiet sobbing.
FInally it was done. Malfoy drew his flaccid blood and cum covered cock out of Remus and quickly dressed.
Remus slid off the bed into a cowering heap on the floor. The bed continued to shake with the great heaving sobs of the Slytherin boy still tethered there.
\"Well.\" Malfoy smirked. \"He\'s all yours now, Severus. Have fun.\" With a flick of his wand Snape was free. He never saw Malfoy leave as he struggled to undo the strap still wrapped around his cock. Pain screamed along his penis as fluids were again permitted to flow through his member and the obscene erection was gone, leaving only burning fire in its wake.
He scrambled off the bed, reaching for the shaking Lupin, but, somehow, Lupin gathered strength and scrambled away from him, a look of horror and terror on his face.
\"Remus, please,\" Severus implored. \"Let me help you.\"
Again Remus scrambled away and gathered his robes and clothing up off the floor. He stood, then stumbæed to one knee, remaining in that position long enough to pull his robes around himself.
\"Remus, wait...\"
\"Stay away from me Severus,\" Remus whispered. \"Never come near me again.\" Slowly he levered himself to his feet and stumbled out of the room.
Snape sat back against the bed, silent tears coarsing down his cheeks. He would make Malfoy pay. Somehow. Some way. Even if it meant joining the ranks of Voldemort.
