Disclaimer: Don't own Harry Potter.
A special thank you to all that read my story and to all my reviewers!
Sithtar: First off, thank you for the help on the story. I'm trying to get them back in character, it is Harry's third year, and I looked extra hard for the grammar and spelling mistakes and tried to fix them. The centered thing, I don't like, I justalways center school documents and forget to uncenter(?) other things. I don't like it centered, I looked at it. Thank you for the review!
Chemical Killjoy13: I like shiny too! Yes, I just felt I had to put them in. The original ones were Williams and Klein, guess who. And thank you for the review, ranting is cool too. I completely changed this part, so you haven't read it yet. The baby didn't like the original and made me change it. It can be so annoying…
green24: I agree with you on that, I haven't found many good mpregs, maybe 3 or 4, and they're never finished! I'm not a slasher, so I don't usually read those. I fully intend to finish this story. Thanks for the review!
Important A/N: The characters are probably OOC. I'm not used to writing serious characters and I read fanfics more then the actual books so I'm reviewing those right now to try and capture the "essence" of Snape. Another reason being I do most of my writing late at night or in early morning, so my brain's not fully awake. I'm still accepting ideas and such, but please, don't try and correct me on spelling. I don't spell things wrong, I go through and check to make sure about ten times. There's nothing worse in a story then bad spelling.
A/N2: I'm not entirely pleased with this chapter, it's not what I originally had planned out, so it's more made up kind of quickly. I don't really feel like it accomplishes anything, but there was a plot bunny begging me to write it. Snape may seem OOC, but I do think this is how he feels about the other staff, and some of the students. He cares, but he sure isn't going to show it. He is a Snape after all!
Forget to Love, Love to Forget
Chapter 2
One Week Later:
Snape lay his head in his hands after the last class filed out. He was dead tired and still had that damn headache. The door opened with a creak and Lupin walked in. Snape looked up quickly.
"Still feeling off-color?" he asked
"I don't see how it is any of your business, Lupin," Snape snapped
"You should really go to the Hospital Wing," Remus replied
"I don't need to." Snape said, "Now is there a specific reason you came down here, or was it just to irritate me?"
Lupin wasn't fazed by Snape's harsh tone.
"I came down to ask you about getting something from your stores for my third year class," he said, "you don't happen to have Ashwinder eggs?"
"Perhaps," Snape answered, but the thought of helping Lupin seemed to pain him, "I'll check later."
Remus could see he wanted to be left alone, so he said a quick 'Thanks' and left.
The rest of the day went by as so many did for Severus. The arrogant little berks blew things up, acted like pompous arses, and just generally bothered him.
Later that night, while grading essays, the Professor became lost in thought. About pretty much everything. He found himself thinking about the students, the other staff, and the headmaster. They drove him completely insane! Not to get him wrong, he did care for them, at least a little, but they could be so insufferable sometimes! He supposed that the other staff weren't bad, he even considered some of them close acquaintances, like McGonagall, Flitwick, or even Hagrid.
Sure, he and Minerva had their squabbling about the House Cup constantly, or their rival houses, but he really did care about her, deep down, WAY deep down. He had a sense of respect for her, which probably had something to do with her being a teacher when he was at Hogwarts.
Flitwick he had no problems with, and Hagrid he supposed, wasn't as bad. Sure, the bumbling half-giant could be a pest, but he was really a gentle person. But, just because he might have cared about other people didn't mean he was going to show it.
He was broken out of his reverie by his inkbottle shattering on the floor. He had upset it when he went to dip his quill in the ink.
"Of all the bloody-!" he exclaimed, jumping up.
The ink was soaking into the thick green carpet by then.
"Scorgify," he said, pointing his wand in the general direction of the carpet, "Reparo."
With the inkbottle fixed and the ink cleaned up, it was now go find more ink in his mess of a room, or do something else. Snape felt unusually tired, so he decided to just call the whole thing a night and he nodded off on the couch.
Metta! For now
A/N: I think Lupin tries to be a little more civilized with Snape, and that's why I almost always have him call him by his first name. I see Remus doing that and Snape getting mad, but that's truly how I see Remus' personality. Next chapter will be up soon.
Sorry for the disappointing chapter. There's probably more A/N and other stuff then story, but there was a lot of things I needed to address. Next chapter will be longer. I'll try to have it up by tomorrow or Wednesday.
