The Very Odd Couple Chapter One
written by: Jazzy
The Dursley's didn't know what to make of them at first. Petunia Evans-Dursley realized one thing though, Severus Snape was her next door neighbor, not only was he a freak, but now he was a queer as well. It was a true shock! She had always thought Snape had been in love with Lilly, her little sister. After all, if he hadn't been in love with her, then why had he ruined their perfect family? If he had never come along and had never been in love with Lilly, then Lilly would never have known about her freakishness and have never gone off to Hogwarts to become even more of a freak!
Petunia hated Snape. She blamed him for how her life and Lilly's life had been ruined.
Now not only was he a freak but now also a queer and he had dared to move in next door to her and her perfectly unfreakish family!
Unbelievable!
Unforgivable!
But worst of all, there was a queer couple living in her neighborhood!
How immoral!
Of course it would be Snape. It wasn't enough he ruined her life once but now he had to come along and ruin it a second time.
Snape simply smiled as Petunia scowled and glared at him. She gasped then scampered away as Black came up behind Snape.
Snape turned around to glare his own death look at his mortal enemy. He hated Sirius Black. It sure as hell hadn't been his idea to partner up with the bastard and watch the Dursley's, oh no, it was not, it was instead the Order of the Phoenix at fault and that smiling laughing Dumbledore!
"Don't get any bright ideas Black." He hissed, then walked off in a snit.
Black smirked. He loved teasing Snape. His eyes went directly to the Dursley home and into their open window not that he needed such a window to look in through to watch his godson. He could as easily look into his crystal ball or rather Snape's crystal ball and watch the happenings going on inside the home through Crystal Vision.
They were here for one reason, partnered on this assignment for one reason, and that reason was Harry Potter, his Godson, Lilly and James Potter's son. Sirius knew Snape had yet to forgive him for past faults, but really he had only been teasing him! Boys pull girls hair, boys haze other boys, there were two reasons for such behaviors and if Snape was too dense or too hurt to figure it out, well Sirius wasn't about to point it out to him.
Sirius had been very childish back then, alright he was still pretty childish even today but he dared anybody to not have done half the stuff he had done to Snape for the reasons he had done them for!
Snape was seriously hilarious when he was being teased. Snape's glares, his scowls, his dark looks, were simply too delicious to ignore and they were far better then having Snape so stone faced and blank. Sirius had not liked the mask of indifference Snape had worn through most of school life. It had been like a challenge to Sirius, a challenge he could never ignore. Sirius hadn't meant to be cruel; really, it was more of the Black in his nature than anything else. He was adult enough now to see that he had taken it too far in some places, such as the shrieking shack incident, even Moony had yet to forgive him for that breach of friendship, so why should Snape be any different?
With feelings between them too damaged Sirius wasn't sure he could live civilly with Snape, not that he wasn't willing to give it a try, but Snape certainly knew how to hold to a grudge. It was very Slytherin of him.
With a twinkle in Sirius' eye he turned back to his and Snape's new abode, easily giving directions to the muggle unpacking crew, after all Sirius was a rich man's son, he didn't do the little things like unpack boxes and put things away, he had servants for that and he was very good at giving orders and that sort of thing.
Sirius was also aware of his personla house elf's personal prejudices and grudges. Kreacher was hardly pleased with him for living in a disgusting muggle neighborhood but also in a despicable muggle home. Kreacher had been royally sulking and muttering darkly under his breath all the while he stayed inside and hid in his own secluded little abode under the stairs while the muggles trooped in and out of their new place of stay. After the muggles were gone he'd have Kreacher do penance by putting things away in their proper places, though he supposed Snape would have something to say on the matter.
Snape did not approve of slave labor or dark household's personal house elves. Those house elves in particular were often quite insane due to the evil done unto them by evil in their house and bonded family. But what could Sirius do about it? He was the last of the Blacks and Kreacher was his house elf now and really, how could Snape even suggest that someone like a Black not have a servant around to do things for him? Snape couldn't expect Sirius to cook and clean and pick up after the two of them, could he?
Sirius shuddered. A servant he was not!
Snape's sneer was something to look forward to though as he explained it all to him. Sirius grinned happily if a bit crazed then strolled inside with his usual regal airs to better bate the more temperamental half of his new life and nature.
