Hey. My first attempt at Remus/Severus, though nothing much occurs here. Actually, nothing at all, really. :( lol. Set at night; after Sev calls Lily A very nasty word I shall not repeat *shudders* but before he realises that Remmy is a were-wolf. Hmm... personally I prefer 'were-wuff' xD Enjoy!


Severus Snape walked the cold corridors of Hogwarts. It was cold, as it was who-knows-what-hour at night, and the floor was freezing to his bare feet; but he simply could not sleep.
Curse those Hufflepuff's and their incessant partying.
The Hufflepuff's had won a single game against the Gryffindor's, and they took that as a sign to allow them to party till some ungodly hour.
Their common room bordered the Slytherin's; and hence Severus had a headache that seemed to contain several unruly partying Hufflepuffs; he could tell as they were banging on his skull; shouting for release.

He walked with his usual scowl, but wasn't as swift in movement, nor as evil in eye. But he was a Slytherin; he wouldn't let others see his weakness. Or pain.
Releasing a silent sigh, Severus swallowed as he climbed the stairs to the Entrance Hall.
Changing height was always what made his Migraine's worse.

Severus allowed himself a smirk as the torches of the Hall came into view. They cast flickering images onto the stairs; Severus's smirk was short lived as the light made him squint and turn his head away.
OW! Big mistake. Any sudden (or even not so sudden) movement made the cannibalistic drumming in his head intensify ten-fold.
Swallowing a lump in his throat, the boy finally reached the Entrance Hall.
Now, only up a floor on the Grand Staircase, across a corridor; then down another minor staircase to the hospital wing.
Severus's shoulders drooped; and a worried frown appeared on his young face.
Oh- if only he could have flooed there. All the walking, all the hurt. So unnecessary.

He gingerly put a hand to his throbbing head, and could feel the pulsing veins beneath it.
He slumped against the edge of the doorway of the stairs to the Entrance Hall; allowing himself a moment of weakness as no-one was there; and surely it didn't count of no-one was there to see it?
A few moments later he pushed himself up off the doorway; propelling himself a few painful steps forward with the momentum.

As he placed his pale, clammy hand on the marble banister, the large front doors swung open; not only causing poor Severus to jump; but wince at the noise as well.
It was raining hard outside, a figure was briefly outlined against a lightening bolt, but Severus couldn't even tell if it was a Hogwarts member or not.

"H-Hello?" He asked unsurely into the night. [A/N is unsurely even a word? Unsure is; but Unsurely?]
"Who's there?" Severus took a few commanding steps forward; regaining, or at least, appearing to regain, strength and authority with each step. It was with this exact prowl; that many years later would intimidate students into behaving in their lessons.

Lightening struck again; and Severus saw a boy, no older than he, covered head to toe in scratches; bleeding and bruised.
"Lupin?" Severus's voice seemed to sound vaguely amused.
The boy stumbled in through the giant doors, and closed behind him as if by magic. Which, of course, it was.
"You're bleeding over the welcome mat." Severus said, bored. In fact; his headache was absolutely killing him.
"Sev- Severus." Remus Lupin gasped, clutching his stomach.
Severus raised an eyebrow.
"Severus-" Lupin's face was distorted in pain; and he was almost doubled over aswell.
He staggered a few more steps in before passing out.

Moving quicker than Severus thought even Lucius could on a broom, he was there to catch the boy before he hit the unforgiving floor.
He, himself knew how evil contact with that floor could be.
Severus leaned back, observing the boy's injuries with a trained eye before he realised what he was doing.
The best friend of his bully, his tormentor was lying in his lap; his head was cradled in Severus's hand!
He should be cursing the boy further, not helping him.

But- something inside Severus's heart stopped him.
Lily... Lily was friends with Remus. Lily liked Remus. Lily.. wouldn't want him to be hurt.
Could he help the boy to gain Lily's friendship once more?

Severus opened his mouth- silently arguing against himself, confused and ... confused.
Remus stirred- "I don' wanna eat, Siri."
Severus frowned. 'Siri'? Or 'silly'?
"Run, James, run. The moon- the moon." The boy swung his head from side to side, seeing things beyond the high ceiling and walls of Hogwarts.

Despite all his hate for James and his 'gang'Severus's heart went out to the Gryffindor.
He was helpless, a situation Sev had indeed imagined many times; but usually he was cursing the 'Golden trio' to hell and back inthe dreamscape; not watching them... what? Die?

With a final snicker at his stupidity, Severus stood up; still holding the Gryffindor in his arms.
Watching the room spin hazily, but ignoring it and stubbornly persisting on; Severus slowly but surely made his way to the hospital wing.
After all; Remus would't exactly remember this afterwards would he?
