Chapter Three

"So now I think I have feelings for him." Harry finished.

"Hmm. Well, Harry, it's really good of you to admit your feelings, and you seem to know what you're doing. If you just apologize for before and make a new start things should go well." said Remus knowingly.

"Yeah I'm really nervous though." said Harry looking down.

"It'll be fine, just be honest." said Remus who then smiled. "You just inspired me to talk to Severus tonight."

"Well it's about time. Still, I don't know what a great guy like you see in someone like him."said Harry only partially joking.

"Something that most other people don't that's for sure."said Remus quietly.

Harry though about this, it was strange but back when they were practicing and Draco got so frustrated Harry thought he saw a glimpse of a something deep inside Draco that maybe only he had seen. He didn't know quite what he had glimpsed but he wanted very much to find out.

"Well, good luck." said Harry as he headed for the door.

"You too Harry" said Remus who seemed to have been broken away from his own musings.

When Harry reached the Gryffindor table in the Great Hall, Seamus told him that Ron and Hermione had already left. Seamus had also said that by the way they were acting anyone who followed them was likely to walk in on something they'd probably rather not if you felt his drift.

Harry felt it all right. He decided that instead of looking for Ron and Hermione he would eat a quick dinner and head out to the quiditch pitch. Flying would help him clear his mind and figure out what to say to Draco.

Severus opened the door to his office and let Remus in.

"Oh, it's you." said Severus. He crossed the room and sat down at his desk.

"Yes, it's me." replied Remus and then closed the door behind him and sat down in a chair opposite Severus' desk.

"Is it a message from Dumbledore? As it's obviously not time for your potion." said Snape impatiently.

"No, actually I came here because I wanted to talk to you." said Remus looking down.

Severus brought tore his eyes away from the parchment he had been writing on to look Remus in the eyes for the first time since he'd entered the room.

"Talk about what, I wonder." he said pushing the parchment to the side.

"Talk about our relationshiop."said Remus.

"What relationship? We had a fling when we we're young, desparate, and confused, but that was eighteen years ago." scowled Severus.

"Not that anyone's counting, eh Sevy?" said Remus with an impish grin.

"DO NOT CALL ME THAT!!" shouted Severus.

"Sorry, Severus." said Remus, "but you and I both know it was much more than a fling. We were young... yes. Confused... maybe. But desperate? Not a chance. I don't remember ever having a shortage of girls to snog, and if I remember correctly quite a few young men as well as women had their sights on the mysterious Mr. Snape.

"What is your point, Wolf." snapped Severus.

"A wee bit testy aren't we, Sevy? What's the matter... stress?" said the werewolf.

Severus scowled.

"Not to worry, I can help you with that." grinned Remus.

He got up out of the chair and before the other man could stop him began massaging Severus' shoulders. Every time it sounded like Severus was about to protest Remus kneaded his fingers harder into the tense muscles of his neck and shoulders.

Severus gave up his protest and decided he would put a stop to this as soon as it stopped feeling so good.

"You remember, don't you? The things these hands used to do to you, how good it felt."

Severus sighed. He did remember. No matter how hard he tried to forget. And yet here he was, experiencing a whole new set of thoughts and sensations he would definitely regret in the morning.

"What did you come here to say Remus." said Severus.

Remus smiled. Severus had called him by his first name, this was a very good sign.

"I came here to say that I made mistakes all those years ago. To say that I jumped to conclusions and that I was wrong. I've been living with those mistakes for the past eighteen years, because they cost me the love of my life."

Severus' breath hitched in his throat.

"Even if i did believe you who's to say I feel the same."

Remus pushed the swivel chair Severus was sitting in around so that Severus was facing him. He then pushed Severus' robes off of his shoulders and chest revealing a bite mark scar on the front of Severus' right shoulder. Remus traced the scar with his index finger and then bent down to softly brush it with his lips.

"You see, said Remus whispered in Severus' ear, "it's barely faded at all."

Then he straddled Severus over the chair and latched his mouth onto Severus' neck.

Severus stiffled a moan but Remus had felt him stiffen.

"It's ok luv," said Remus into Severus's neck, "let it out. We both want this."

Then he continued his sucking and licking at Severus' neck and chest. Severus moaned erotically. The sound of it excited Remus emmensely. He dragged Severus up pushed him against the wall and kissed him fiercely.

Severus tried to push him off but once he'd slipped Remus once slipped his tongue into his mouth Severus' mind went blank and all thoughts unrelated to that wonderful tongue now massaging his were thrown out.

Remus couldn't believe it. All that he had been missing all these years was finally his again. He savored every millimeter of the mouth he had gone so long without tasting. Merlin, it felt good. He hadn't been this excited since the last time. Remus press his erection to into the other mans pelvis who he noted with satisfation that Severus was sporting a firewood to match his own.

Severus broke the kiss, they had finally gone too far.

Remus was very annoyed indeed at the loss of contact with that beloved mouth.

Remus made to kiss Severus again but he turned away.

"This is wrong." he said, but then Remus began sucking and biting his neck again and so he forgot just why.

Remus began sucking on his nipple and he remembered again. He couldn't trust this. This was wonderful but tommorrow it would be gone.

"This is wrong!" he said pushing Remus off of him.

"No!" shouted Remus as he pinned Severus back up against the wall.

"No this is very..."

He kissed Severus' shoulder

"very"

He kissed Severus' neck.

"Right"

He kissed Severus' lips. But Severus was prepared for this and he grabbed Remus' shoulders and turned them around so know Remus was against the wall.

"No this is very, very wrong. I want you to leave my office."

Remus stared at him for a very long time and then shrugged straightened robes and walked towards the door. At the door he turned around.

"Good night Sevy."

And he shut the door.
