Well here it is people, the sequel I promised to "Forgotten Fueds". I can assure you that we will find out if Draco gets married, or not. I thank you all so, so much for waiting around for this. To all the people who commented and read, and added "Forgotten Fueds", I really do hope that you will enjoy this.
"Severus Alexander Snape!" Remus yelled from the sitting area of his lover's quarters "If you do not make yourself present immediately, I will defiantly come in there and drag you out myself."
He gruffly folded his arms across his chest and mentally counted to 10. One, Two, Three - I swear if he doesn't come out - Four, Five - Childish - Six, Seven...
A loud groan erupted from within the potions masters' bedroom and the door flung open. Severus stood, arms folded, a large scowl present on his face and an olive coloured trunk floating behind him. He glared out at Remus.
"Thank you" Remus said, walking forwards and beckoning for the trunk. It silently floated to his side and landed on a darker, battered looking trunk of his own.
"I don't understand why I have to come with you, Lupin," he moaned for the hundredth time in 3 hours "They are after all, your friends."
"They are as much my friends, as they are yours," Remus told him. He was shrinking the trunks and glancing about the room in a last minutes search. Do I have my good robes?
Severus mumbled to himself and continued to sulk in his chair. It was the middle of March, mid-term break at Hogwarts, and while most professors were sitting back and relaxing in their quarters, Severus was being forced to visit Grimmauled place with his new love. It has been nearly four months since they first decided to give their relationship a chance, for Severus this was four months of keeping the truth from Potter. Remus on the other hand had joyously spread the word, telling everyone, or so he would have loved to if only Severus hadn't stepped in and gave him a scolding. They confided in those closest to them: Albus, Minerva and thanks to Remus, Sirius, who then ventured on to inform Harry, Ron and Hermione.
"Right then, are we ready?" Remus beamed clapping his hands together.
"I don't know, you are the one running around packing everything, you tell me," Severus muttered.
Remus rolled his eyes and helped Severus up from the couch. This was typical old Severus, doing everything within his power to delay the trip. The way he's acting, you'd swear Remus never told him anything about the trip. Four weeks ago, to Remus' knowledge was when he had informed his lover of the trip, four weeks. In addition, for four weeks Severus yelled, pouted, sulked, threatened to dump Remus in the lake and stormed away angrily.
"Stop it, Severus" he scolded, "It's only for a week. Just one week and we are back here."
"I hate Black and you know I do, so why torture the both of us like this?"
"It's mid-term break and he's had no company since Christmas, Severus, "Remus frowned "He is my best friend, I don't want to leave him alone. You are my lover and I don't want to leave you alone."
Severus took a step back indicating that he was not going to be the first one to pop out of the fireplace at Black's home. "So instead, Remus, you are going to place the both of us in a cramped environment knowing that we hate each other more then life itself."
"Yes" he replied stepping into the fireplace "And you better come straight in after me"
Severus cursed him under his breath and sighed. Remus had gone out of his way to try to establish a relationship between Sirius and himself.
The man should know better. You would think that 7 years of hostile behaviour towards each other clearly defined what we think of friendship, but oh no, Remus Lupin always has to out do himself. He always has to be the one to go the extra mile…Idiot.
He stepped into the fireplace "Grimmauled place" and shot through the network, landing expertly into a large dusty library. The shelves were overflowing with old, leather bound books that immediately caught Severus' attention. One in particular looked interesting. Severus' eyes roamed along the walls and landed firmly on the image of Sirius Black. His eyes narrowed. Before him stood a man that could make Merlin himself spin in his grave.
"Snape" Sirius stiffly greeted him. He was leaning against the wall, arms folded and a smirk on his face.
Severus glared and nodded, very aware of Remus watching his every move.
"Well then, let's go to the kitchen and have a cup of tea," Remus decided breaking the awkward moment.
He nodded to Sirius who went ahead to lay the table. Severus glared after him. His stomach churned at the thoughts of having to spend a week with that man. He then averted his eyes to Remus' soft, golden brown ones.
"I have not done anything wrong, Remus," he uttered through clenched teeth. "I politely acknowledged his unwelcoming hospitality"
Remus sighed and wrapped his arms around Severus' mid section, resting his head against the firm, broad shoulders. He felt a pair of large hands intertwine across his back. He smiled. This was how he liked it. Just being in the arms of the man he loved. He looked up into those eyes that held so much mystery, pain and misery. Those eyes have witnessed more then any man alone on this planet has.
"I know you haven't done anything," Remus said, running his fingers along Snape's jaw line.
"Yes, well I have no future plans to accept Black as a friend, so you are wasting your time" Severus told him.
Remus chuckled "You are so stubborn". He leaned up on the tips of his toes to plant a gentle kiss on the taller mans lips. Severus grunted and released Remus.
"Wouldn't want to keep the mutt waiting now would we". His voice dripped with sarcasm and silent laughter. Remus rolled his eyes and led him to the kitchen. Sirius had set three cups of tea at the head of the table.
"So, how have you been Sirius?" Remus asked, blowing over the rim of his cup. Severus idly swirled his spoon around the tea, not planning to drink it.
"I've been great" Sirius replied, "I spent a couple of hours looking around the muggle village yesterday and I went for a walk up along the moors. It's the kind of thing you'd like, Moony, endless paths and ruins to explore, a big forest and huge fields."
Remus chuckled "Yes, I think I would like that. Care to show me some day?"
"Sure, I can show you the bakery in the village, Remy" Sirius rambled on "It's just like Hogsmeade. The shelves are stuffed with buns and éclairs, and brownies and lemon squares, and cream buns, Remus. You know the ones that you used to buy me. Those ones. Oh, and they also of the butter pasties, just like you said."
While Remus and Sirius bantered on about the delights of cream and sugary, heart stopping treats, Severus couldn't help but let his mind wonder. His first thoughts were of Draco Malfoy. The arrogant blonde boy, or so everyone believed. Like most Slytherins, Draco shadowed his true persona behind a mask, using every possible chance to insult and avoid emotion. The boy was probably sitting on his bed, cursing his father into oblivion right now for making him get married. Severus had tried to talk it out with Lucius, explained that Draco was only 16 and had not even come of age yet. He tried to reason out the pros and cons of the marriage, of course it was Lucius who decided on the pros. Severus had thrown out the issues of under age sex, not been given a chance to develop emotionally, not being able to find true love and not been given the chance to experience life without responsibility. None of those worked so Severus had been forced to restrain Draco with a full body binding curse, one day in his office, to calm him down after he threw a tantrum.
"Severus!" yelled Remus, nudging his arm.
He snapped his head up and looked to Remus, who was holding out a plate of sticky buns.
"Would you like one?" Remus smiled "Sirius bought them from the muggle bakery, down in the village. There fresh"
Severus eyesd the golden glazed buns, smothered in caster sugar and oozing with blobs of cream. His stomach protested and he shook his head.
"Id rather not kill myself with those heart stopping foods" he muttered, his face showing disgust.
"It's not heart stopping, Sev" Remus grinned pushing the plate towards him "There delicious. Besides, you eat the food Albus spoons onto your plate."
Sirius swallowed a laugh and sniffed. Severus glared at him, pushed the plate in his direction and smirked.
"Id prefer it if Black would eat them. That way we could rid the world of some misery" he commented.
"Speak for yourself, Mister Misanthropist" Sirius replied.
"With the likes of you in the world, could you blame me?"
Remus sighed and took the plate of buns "Alright, that's enough" he said "Sirius I'm sure Severus will accept your generous offer another day."
Snape grunted and folded his arms, glowering at his boyfriend. In your dreams Remus Lupin.
Smiles And that is chapter one. Enjoy it? We will see a lot of Draco, I think anyway. I have plans for him.
I also have big plans on writing a sequel to this. Sort of like a trilogy, if you prefer. I have a name picked and ready for it.
I probably won't be updating this story every day, like i used to do with "Forgotten Fueds, simply because I am in the middle of writing another story called "Daddies Little Prisoner". You may or may not be familier with it. But I can assure you that I will not abandone it. I will definatly update at least twice a week, you know how I feel about waiting around for updates. lol.
So anyway, I hope you enjoy. Im getting chapter two ready. Please, Read and Review! Let me know what you think.
