CHAPTER 1- GOD SHUFFLED HIS FEET
WORD COUNT- 1,991 APROX.
~~~"So someone asked him, "I beg your pardon: I'm not quiet clear about what you just spoke---- is that a parable, or a very subtle joke?" ~~~
Severus stretched as he made his way through their open plan living room to the kitchen.
"I can't believe you picked up another of those damn muggle CD's of yours on the way back from the shop" The ex-Slytherin smiled as he took a seat at the table.
"You told me you liked my CDs!" Remus grumbled indignantly as he buttered a selection of toast, before bringing both the toast and some freshly brewed tea to the table.
"What? No coffee?" the werewolf's partner teased.
"I brought you tea, didn't I? It's close..." he grinned wickedly from behind his mug of hot chocolate. "... and if you don't want me to buy my CD's then you should get up earlier in the morning and get the papers yourself!"
Munching down on a slice of toast then taking a sip of his tea, Severus watched as his love picked up his dishes and dance over to the sink singing along to the new CD as he washed up. There were upsides to the CDs he thought, Remus always sang along, and if Severus was really lucky, he danced. The man watched as his love shook his hips slightly from side to side and he set the dishes up to dry. Such a lovely arse he laughed to himself.
Bloody schizophrenic, laughing to himself back there Remus pouted. If he wanted coffee he should get it his bloody self, not complaining to me this close to the full moon...OH! Remus dropped the mug he was cleaning back into the sink when he felt strong arms encircle his waist and pull him back, nibbling at his neck just below the ear.
"Jeez, Sev! Scared the living daylights out of me!" he laughed and he turned into the taller mans arms, looking up into dark obsidian eyes, his lover bumped foreheads with him gently, smiling at the lycanthrope.
The bell went.
The dark haired man frowned, his arms still around his dear, blonde one's waist, as he looked up at the clock above the fireplace.
"Feck..." Remus yelped pulling himself from Severus's arms, "... I totally forgot about everyone coming round today!" sorting cushions and throws as he made his way to the door, the bell ringing again, " Sev, hun, toss the rest of the dishes in the sink and sort the blinds, will you? I need to get this or Narcissa's gonna take our front door down..."
I:HEART:WIZARDSLASH -----OoOoOoO-----I:HEART:WIZARDSLASH
Severus was well aware of what Narcissa would do if she had to do ring that bell again, and there was nothing Nathanial, or a charging herd of Hungarian Horn-tailed Dragons for that matter, could do to stop her. Tossing the cups and plates into the sink and hoping to hell he hadn't broken any of them he ran to the blinds pulling them up, just as Remus made it to the door. Brave man, he thought into himself as his love smiled sweetly opening the door.
"Narcissa! What brings you around to our humble aboad at this time in the," he looked up at the clock and winced, " ... early afternoon...?"
Narcissa Black raised a perfectly shaped eyebrow at her friend and handed him her coat as she entered the flat in silence. Remus shrugged, hey, he thought, could have been worse, normally she throws things.
"Remus," the man in question looked up at his caller, Nathanial Eddings, who gave him an apologetic smile, " sorry, mate, you know what she can he like..." the tall bespectacled man murmured in hushed tones, taking Narcissa's jacket and hanging it up.
Slumping onto one of the chairs now that he knew Remus had survived Narcissa, Severus watched as everyone arranged themselves around the living room, before the fireplace sprung into life.
"Un'ca Sev'rs! Un'ca Nat! Auntie Cissa! Un'ca R'mus!" everyone laughed as the small boy knocked over his youngest uncle with a tackle-like hug around the knees.
"Heya, everyone" chirped Lily, " Just Harry and myself today, again, James had to go to another training meet with his team," the fiery haired woman looked down, " sorry Severus, Remus" she said plopping herself down on the couch and scooped up and tiny running Harry before he could cause any more mischief.
" It's fine Lils," Severus comforted her with a smile, " Sirius and Luce still haven't shown face yet, or maybe they're just about to" he laughed as the purr of a motorbike stopping sounded from beneath the window, followed by the thumping of boots up the stairs. Remus smiled and shook his head as he went to open the door for the last arrivals to their gathering.
"AWWW, COME ON YA BIG POODLE!"
"I've already told you this several times, I refuse, point blank, to run up these stairs."
"DUDE! YOU SU....oh! Hey Remi! Wouldn't happen to have the kettle on would you?"
Remus waved and smiled at Sirius when his friend finally noticed that the door was opened.
"Yes, Sirius, the kettle is on, now get in and you even bother walking across the new carpet with those boots on and I'll set Cissa on you..." he warned matter-of-factly, just as a tall platinum blonde man turned the corner onto the landing.
"Lucius, good to see you made it over here in one piece." Remus commented. The taller, paler blonde man laughed as he was led into the room,
"Only just," he mock-glared across the room "Mutt, over there, drives like a maniac."
"Love you too, Darlin'!" Sirius called from beside the biscuit cupboard.
I:HEART:WIZARDSLASH -----OoOoOoO-----I:HEART:WIZARDSLASH
Lucius folded himself into the remaining chocolate brown chair and gazed over his fellow living room companions.
Nathanial and Cissa were sitting closest to him. Narcissa reclined with her legs elegantly crossed, daintily sipping from her mug of tea while she chatted to Lily, who was bouncing young Harry on her lap, trying to keep the toddler amused. Nathanial watching over the two of them. Nodding and smiling along to the conversation, the man reminded Lucius of a centaur; quiet and full of wisdom, if Nathanial said something to you it would be in your best interest to take the his advice.
After the three on the couch, was Severus, who sat directly opposite him across the cosy room. He watched as the dark haired man looked up and watched Remus make his way across the flat with a tray full of mugs and plates with cake and biscuits. Lucius smiled as he watched the kind-hearted man dish out everyone's orders before taking the last two remaining mugs and sitting on the arm of Severus's chair. He chuckled quietly to himself as the blonde was lifted down onto the Potion Master's lap. Students all over Hogwarts would suffer from heart failure at the mere idea of their ever reclusive potions professor being so affectionate.
"Wotcha thinkin'?" Sirius beamed down at him, God, he thought, the man's as mad as a kneezle with six tails, but boy, I wouldn't trade him for anything.
~~~ "….And if your eye got poked out in this life, Would it be waiting up in Heaven with your wife?..."~~~
Lily laughed, "What in the name of goodness are you listening to boys!"
"It's one of Remi's new CDs, isn't it love?" Severus replied playing with his partner's long-ish wavy hair. Remus pulled a face at him.
"The band's called 'Crash Test Dummies' I found the lyrics quite amusing, it's very easy on the ears I think… unlike someone-I-know's music tastes …" he glanced across the room smirking. Lucius gave out a small cough that sounded suspiciously like 'Sirius"
"Lucius Stefan Micah Sebastien Malfoy! What are you insinuating about my choice in music!? Hmmm?" He gave his partner a sharp poke in the ribs, "And YOU Remus, I expected better of a fellow music lover! Just because you can't have Thrash Metal on while your enjoying your Cheerios, doesn't mean that others can't!"
The room was silent.
Harry giggled. This was followed by the soft rumble of Severus's chuckle. In mere seconds the entire flats was filled with peels of laughter. Lucius and Sirius just sat together looking confused.
"Sebastien…." Narcissa shook with hushed laughter.
"Your parent's must have hated you Luce." Severus stated simply.
"Oh, come on it's not all that bad! You guys must have worse, or even similar!" Lucius exclaimed a little worried, he hadn't thought it was THAT bad, okay so it was hard to fit onto ID cards and his Portkey Pass, but one of them had to have worse! They just HAD too!
"Nathanial Marcus Eddings" Nathanial stated simply
"Narcissa Luisa Alexandria Black" Narcissa purred proudly.
"Oh, that's so pretty Cissa! Makes you sound like a princess!" Lily smiled at her Best female friend.
"Thanks, Lils, what's yours?"
"Lily Eileen Hillen Potter" Lily blushed hiding behind her hair.
"Remus John Lupin, mine's kinnda boring isn't it!" Remus laughed light heartedly
"Severus Valerio Tobias Snape."
"GOD! That's worse than mine!" Lucius threw his head back in entertainment. Severus pulled a face at him.
"Don't listen to the nasty man Severus. I think your name's sexy." Remus murmured and kissed his cheek. The women "Awwwed" at this and Nathanial nodded smiling.
"Sirius thinks my names are sexy too!" Lucius retorted looking to his love for support,
"Naw, luv, they're hilarious, sorry, it could only be funnier, in fact, if one of them was Margaret." The tall xanthoid sniffed and turned away in a huff.
"Who wants more tea?" Remus called as he got up and headed into the kitchen, there was a hours of, "Yeah sure" "well if you insists" and " only if your making some honey".
I:HEART:WIZARDSLASH -----OoOoOoO-----I:HEART:WIZARDSLASH
The conversations lasted long into late evening when people started to get ready to go.
"Sorry folks, but I'm going to need to get this little man off to his bed!" Lily laughed as she picked up a yawning Harry.
"We had better be heading too, Nat, yes?" Narcissa continued as she got up dusting herself down as Nathanial went to collect her coat.
"Cissa?" Sirius asked from the position he had taken at Lucius's feet, "Why did you bring a coat? You just live across the hall!" Narcissa smiled and shrugged.
"Habit, I guess." She answered as her love helped her shoulder the coat.
"Come on Siri, we should probably be giving Severus and Remus their home back too." Sirius pulled himself to his feet and stumbled off to grab his boots.
Hugs were exchanged and they made plans to meet up the next week. Lily cradled a sleeping Harry in her arms as she flooed back to her home. Narcissa and Nathaniel said their good byes and returned to their apartment and there was the sound of a motorbike speeding off down the street as Sirius and Lucius begun their journey back to Lochwinoch.
I:HEART:WIZARDSLASH -----OoOoOoO-----I:HEART:WIZARDSLASH
"Gawd!" The werewolf exclaimed and he dropped onto the couch after finishing the last of the dinner dishes, "I'm completely knackered now!" He sighed closing his eyes and resting his head back against one of the many cushions.
"Not too tired I hope?" Severus murmured into his partner's ear. Remus opened one sleepy golden eye.
"Well I suppose, it all depends, what did you have in mind dear?" he asked coyly, an innocent smile gracing his lips.
Severus growled playfully and scooped Remus up into his arms. Remus yelped when he found himself suddenly air bound and making a beeline for their bedroom. The dark man laid his love down gently on the bed, smirking he clicked his fingers and all the lights went out in their apartment.
Remus smiled up into the darkness as he felt the bed move to accommodate Severus joining him there. He felt Severus's body flush against his as their lips met hungrily. Closing his eyes Remus relaxed into his lover's tender grip.
