Chapter Four:
Severus Pov:
Severus was fuming as Potter left the room 'That little brat. How could he possibly know about Lupin and Me.' He thought angrily. Pacing back and forth around the classroom, he didn't notice when Remus came out from his private office. He was startled out of his thoughts when arms came around and encircled his waist. "What's wrong, Sev" Remus asked as he leaned down and started kissing along his neck and shoulder. Severus groaned as Remus trailed kisses down along his collarbone, resisting the urge to give in he reluctantly pulled away from his sinful lips.
Turning to face him and shooting him with a glare "Your godson, that's what's wrong. He knows about us. Did you tell him?" Severus pointed an accusing finger at him. Remus eyes widen in shock at what he said, and shook his head negatively when Severus accused him of telling Harry about them.
"Of course not. I don't know how he found out." Remus said, than frowned in thought. "How do you know, he knows" he asked watching as Severus started up pacing again. He took a step back when; Severus turned sharply at him and pierced him with a dark glare.
"I know that he knows" he said slowly, stalking towards him in slow long strides. With each step he took forward, Remus matched with a step backwards. They continued like that until Severus had backed Remus up against a table and couldn't go anywhere else. Quickly, he put his arms up on each side of Remus to trap him in between the table and himself. Leaning in toward Remus he continued talking "I know because, he told me when he came to talk to me" he said.
Remus brow furrowed in confusion at this "He told you, when he came to talk to you? When did he do that" he asked.
Severus snorted and answered back in reply "You remember when we got…interrupted" he asked slowly raising an eyebrow at him. He couldn't fight the pleased smirk that broke out on his face, at the stunned look on Remus face. He nodded his head at him "Yep that was your godson. Apparently he had overheard Dumbledore and I's conversation, and of course like the potter he is he came looking for answers. He and his friends will be back after dinner tonight, and I agreed to tell them what they wanted to know." He said. Backing away from him and turning to head back to his private office. He didn't look back as he heard Remus walking behind him. He walked through the adjoining door of his office that leads to his private rooms.
The door opened out to a spacious living room, with the theme of gothic Victorian age. A large black rug with dark cherry colored swirl patterns covered most of the floor. It hid most of the thin, black, unattractive carpet that was in all of the teacher's private rooms. Situated around the rug was a Vendome sofa with dark cherry colored upholstery to match the rug, with black pillows. To the right of the sofa was two wing back chairs of the same color, between the two chairs was dark mahogany end table. To the left of the sofa was the matching Vendome loveseat, and a third wing back chair seated next to it.
Severus headed towards his bedroom with Remus still following after him. "Wait, Harry heard you and Dumbledore talking about their creature blood" Remus asked trying to understand what Severus just said. Getting no verbal reply just a head nod he continued "And when he came asking you for answers…you just agreed to answer" he asked in disbelief. Getting another nod in answer he sighed "So, they're coming tonight. And you're going to explain everything to them" he confirmed as they walked into Severus room. His room was done much like his living room, with the Victorian gothic design.
"Yep, that's the gist of it. You have any problems with that" he asked as sat down on the bed facing him. He started taking off his shirt again and throw it at the end of the bed, standing up he unbutton his pants and pushed them down his legs and kicked them to the side. Standing in just his black silk boxer shorts, he walked seductively over to Remus. He wrapped his arms around his neck; he leaned in and started trailing kisses down his neck to his collar bone. Biting gently down on his collar bone, he smirked at the soft gasp that he emitted.
"No…no definitely don…hum" he groaned losing his train of thought when Severus ran his tongue over the bite soothing it. "Don't have a problem with that at all" he continued. Severus just hums in reply, and trailed back up his neck and licked the outer shell of his ear. Remus eyes closed in pleasure, when Severus started sucking on his ear lobe. Feeling himself grow harder, as Severus scent of warm spice and sandalwood filled his nose; losing all control he picked Severus up and had him wrap his legs around his waist and carried him to the bed. Laying him down on his back, he watched as Severus looked at him through heavy lidded eyes.
Leaning down over him, Remus licked and suckled his way from his collar bone down to his chest. "Can I just say, how wonderful I think you are for defying Dumbledore and choosing to tell Harry and the others about who they truly are" he mumbled against Severus chest as he sucked on the skin above his heart. Groaning Severus pulled at Remus hair wanting him to go lower, he replied as he tried to push his head lower. "Not if you wish to stop right now and spend the night in your own rooms" Severus threaten glaring down at him, but it didn't last long cause at that time Remus moved down farther and licked at his nipple.
"Well then, never mind. I'll just stick with telling you how sexy you are and how you're scent drive me crazy with lust" Remus replied and continued licking and sucking on his nipple, then switched to the other. Severus chuckled breathlessly at this "I guess you should". Pulling Remus head up towards his, he pulled him into a long and steamy kiss. "Now, shall we finish what we started earlier" he asked after pulling away from the kiss. He didn't get a verbal reply, just another long kiss. 'I'll talk to Malfoy and the others tonight' Severus thought to himself as Remus trailed kisses down his body going lower and lower.
Harry Pov:
When Harry arrived at the Tower he gave the password and went in. Looking around the common room he saw Ron and Neville sitting on the couch, with Hermione and Ginny sitting in the chairs across from them. Heading in that direction he sat down beside Ron. "So what did he say" Ron whispered to him so as not to draw attention to them.
"He said to meet back down in his office, after dinner tonight. He'll get Malfoy and the others, while I bring you and Neville" he whispered back.
"That's great" he said
"What's great? What are you guys whispering about over there" Ginny asked narrowing her eyes at them in suspicion. Harry and Ron shared a look, they couldn't tell her or anyone else about this; they didn't know if anyone will inform Dumbledore on what's going on, so they had to be careful.
"Nothing, just discussing Qudditch strategy" Harry told her. This seemed to appease her as she nodded her head and went back talking to Hermione and Neville.
"So did you get my sugar quill and chocolate frogs like you said you would" she asked. Harry nodded, and started going through his pockets for the candy, being careful not to let the blood pops fall out. He didn't really feel like explaining that to the girls. After pulling out the candy he handed them over to her and gave Hermione a chocolate frog. "Thanks a lot Harry" she said sticking the tip of the sugar quill in her mouth, Hermione nodded her head in thanks also.
"Come on let's go up stairs I have something else to tell you" Harry said in a secretive tone. Ron frowned at him, but nodded his head. Turning to Neville and tapped him on the shoulder then motion for him to follow them. "Hey, where are you going" Hermione asked confused as to why they were leaving. Harry quickly thought up a excuse.
"Well, we were going up to take a quick nap before dinner" Harry said and cringed slightly at how bad of than excuse it was, but hey at least they had one.
Hermione and Ginny looked at them in disbelief "All of you are going up to take a nap" Ginny asked in disbelief. "Why are all of you all of a sudden going up to take a nap" she asked in a suspicious tone. Neville shot a look at both Ron and Harry, hoping they had an answer for them "Well, we had a very long and tiring day. So we were just going to rest before dinner" Ron answered.
"Yea, that's right. We'll see you later, bye." Harry said as they raced up the stairs leading up to the boy's dorm room, before they could ask more questions. Walking into the dorm room, they notice that Seamus and Dean haven't come back to the dorm yet. Harry walked over towards his bed, while pulling off his jacket and throwing it on the end of his bed. He climbed up on it and sat in the middle, he motioned for Ron and Neville to sit with him. "Ok, so what did Snape say" Neville asked since he didn't hear when Harry told Ron what he said.
"He said he would tell us, and for us to go to his office after dinner tonight. But I did find out what it might be though" He explained. "When I first went down there, I knocked on the door twice but he didn't answer so I went in. I went to his office door and was about to knock, when I heard him talking to Remus" Harry was going to continue when Ron interrupted him with a shocked yell "What! What was Remus doing down there. Do they hate each other?" he asked confused. Harry nodded at this.
"Yea, that's what I thought but no, in fact their pretty close if I do say so myself. But I'll get to that later. Anyway as I was saying, I heard them talking about Dumbledore threatening Snape to not tell us. Then Snape mention creature blood and that we have it in us" at this Ron and Neville's eyes widen in disbelief. "I know right" he said at their looks. "So whatever Dumbledore doesn't want us to know as to do with creature blood" he explained. Ron and Neville nodded in agreement.
"Yea, I guess that could be the reason. But what reason does he have to not tell us about it. What does he gain from it though, that's what I don't understand" Ron said. "What possible reason could he have for not wanting us to know that we have creature blood" he asked. They were silent for a moment, all of them in thought on what Dumbledore's reason is to not inform them on this. After a while Ron spoke up again "Maybe he wanted to use this to his advance in some way right? Harry you did say he was going to use us as pawns in the war to defeat Voldemort, unless the light side was losing. He could make sure to keep this from us, until he sees fit to tell us in which case it's to do his dirty work" Ron explained.
"That does seem like what he was planning" Neville said in agreement. He shook his head in disbelief "To think that he would do something so devious, especially about something that concerns six young boys." He said his voice laced with anger. He stood up and started angrily pacing back and forth in front of Harry's bed. Harry and Ron watched him with wide eye, surprised that he was so anger. They had never seen Neville so worked up before with anyone, except for Malfoy. "I mean how could he do this, didn't he think that it might be important that we knew about this." Neville continued to rant his voice getting louder in his anger. " This could have effected not only us, but our families and everyone around us. He didn't put any thought in this, no he just did what he thought were best for us and the bloody fucking Greater Good" he screamed. Panting from his rant, he turned to Harry and Ron who were watching him with wide eyes. "What?" he asked in confusion.
Ron just shook his head and said "Nothing, it's just that we never seen you so anger before". Neville rolled his eyes at this. "I'm just upset that I've been lied to basically about who I really am. And what's really getting to me is that, Dumbledore might not be the only one lying to us." He reveled in a troubled sounding tone. When Harry and Ron looked at him in confusion, he continued to explain " I mean Dumbledore can't be the only one who knows about this. I mean think about it, his just our headmaster how could he possibly know about this and not our own family" he explained. Ron and Harry's eyes widen at this in shock, he was right how could Dumbledore know something as huge as creature inheritance and not their own families who knew them way before Dumbledore did.
"You're right. Dumbledore can't be the only one to know about this, our families have to know too" Harry agreed. Then a thought came to him "But why would they hide something like this from us" he asked looking at Ron and Neville who shrugged their shoulders in answers. A moment of silence fell over them as this revelation.
"I can't believe that my family would do something like that." Ron said quietly. Harry and Neville looked over at him when they heard him sniff. His eyes were bream with tears "It hurts to think that my own family would lie to me basically my entire life, and then probably never tell me just because bloody Dumbledore thinks it's for the best. Didn't they once think about us, before making this huge decision without us" he yelled punching the bed on the side of him. Harry crawled over to him and wrapped his arms around his neck pulling him into his side. Ron laid his head down on his shoulder.
Harry sighed deeply before replying "I know how you feel. Coming from someone who always had stuff hidden from them. And like Neville said, it's obvious that other might know. I mean look at Snape and Remus, they obviously know about it so why not are families." He said in a thoughtful tone. "And if Remus knew about this, then Sirius also knew and that mean my parents knew about it". Neville nodded at his reasoning.
"And there's no doubt in my mind that Grandma knew about it too." He said.
"Well, we can't be for sure until tonight. Then Snape can answer all of our questions, Now come on, it's time for dinner" Harry said climbing off the bed. Ron and Neville followed after him, they made their way out the dormitory and down the stairs into the common room. They saw that Seamus and Dean were down there sitting on the couch talking to Hermione and Ginny. They headed over towards them
"Did you have a nice nap guys" Ginny asked snickering at the ridiculous idea.
"Sure did" Ron said sitting on the arm of the couch. "Where have you guys been" he asked Seamus and Dean.
"We stayed another hour at the three broomsticks then came back here." Seamus said. " We were going to go up to the dorm, but Hermione and Ginny told us you were up there taking a nap so we stayed down here talking to them" Dean continued after Seamus. Ron nodded at this.
"Well, I don't know about you guys, but I'm starving and ready to eat. So you coming down to the Great Hall with me, Ron, and Neville for dinner" Harry asked.
"Sure. I could use something to eat" Seamus said getting up off the couch and held out his hand to help Dean up too. They all headed out the portrait hole and toward the Great Hall for dinner. As they came closer to the Great Hall, Harry could smell the strong scent of freshly cooked meat and the strong aroma of roasted garlic mash potatoes. Frowning at this he notice, before this whole thing with creature blood and Dumbledore wanting to keep this from them started that his senses have improved greatly, even his eyesight wasn't as bad as it was before. He'll just have to ask Snape about it later.
The small group of Gryffindor walked into the Great Hall and over to their house table. Looking up at the head table and saw that Snape's seat was empty next to Remus's. Frowning he looked around the room, until he spotted the missing Professor; he was at the Slytherins table talking to Malfoy, Zabini, and Nott about what Harry assumed was their meeting tonight after dinner. Sitting down at the table he started piling food on his plate when it appeared in front of him. "Snape's telling Malfoy and the others now" Harry whispered to Neville and Ron, he motioned his head in the direction of the Slytherin table when they looked up from also putting food on their plates. Turning to look, they saw Snape finish talking to Malfoy and the others before making his way up towards the teachers table.
"Good. Can you imagine if he told you to tell Malfoy yourself" Ron asked shuddering at the thought. "He'll be even more of a prat, and you wouldn't have gotten a word in edge wise".
"Yea, you're right. It would have been a bloody nightmare" Harry said after swallowing down a piece of his shepherd pie.
"Count yourself lucky mate" Neville said as he broke off a piece of the roll in his hand and popped it in his mouth. For the rest of dinner they talked with the rest of their friends, and took their minds off the meeting after dinner.
"Hum, this fudge brownie is so good. The house elves really know how to make the best desserts, don't they?" Ron said licking away the fudge that smeared on his bottom lip. "It melts in your mouth. Kind of like the bl.." he began saying before cutting off as he realized what he was about to say and around who.
"Kind of like what mate?" Seamus asked as he ate another spoonful of ice cream. Ron stared at Harry and Neville for help, but they just shrugged their shoulders at him. Shooting them both a glare, he turned back to Seamus and answered "Umm…kind of like my mom's tentacle tart" he finished lamely hoping he would by it. When Seamus nodded in understanding and went back to eating his ice cream and talking to Dean, he breathed a sigh of relief. Soon after dinner was over and all the students were heading back to their rooms. Harry and the other hung back from the others as they made their way out of the Great Hall.
"Hey guys, we'll see you later. We have a question to ask Professor Snape about the Potions essay due next week." Harry called out to them as they quickly turned and headed the directions of the dungeons, before they could ask any questions. They were halfway down the corridor when Hermione yelled after them "Ok. See you later". With that they continued on their way to Snape's room. When they finally arrived at Snape's room, they met Malfoy, Zabini, and Nott at the door.
"What are you doing down here Potter, with the Weasel and Longbottom" Malfoy asked with a sneer covering his face. Harry rolled his eyes at him, while Ron's face turned red in anger and Neville glared at him.
"Snape asked us to come down here, and I assume he asked the same of you" he said. He took pleasure in seeing the surprised look on Malfoy's and the other two faces.
Malfoy narrowed his eyes at him and looked him up and down suspiciously. "Why would Sev…Professor Snape ask you down here. And how did you know he asked us to come" he asked. "There's no way he would want you done here outside of class, he barely can stand you inside" he said snidely.
Face flushing in anger Harry was about to retort, when at that moment the door to the classroom opened and there stood the man in question staring at them with his piercing dark ominous eyes. "On the contrary Mr. Malfoy, I would very much like Mr. Potter and his friends here. Otherwise I would have not asked them down here. Now let's get inside, before someone comes around and notice you all standing out here" he told them, as he continued to stare at Malfoy until he broke eye contact. He directed them inside the room and towards his private office. "We'll be talking in my private rooms" he informed them as he took them through the adjoining door in his office that lead to his rooms.
As they walked in they were shocked when they saw Remus sitting in one of the large winged back chairs. Harry stood shocked before quickly shaking it off "What are you doing here Remy" he asked completely ignoring the proper student and teacher etiquette.
"Professor Lupin is here to help me explain, more in depth on what you overheard between me and Dumbledore, Potter" Snape explained walking over to the other chair next to Remus's. "You might as well sit down boys. This is going to be a very long talk".
So that's the end of chapter four. Did you like the little sneak peek, into Severus and Remus romance? There will be more of that, from all of the couples. I'll also be doing more POV's to give the story a more rounded structure. I want to give the readers a like at what's going on in the Characters minds, and I think to achieve that I have to show all of the character's pov. In the next chapter Harry and the others finally find out what kind of creature blood they have. Also if they have been lied to by their families. Please review and tell me what you think. Until next time.
Thanks, SexyDarkAngel
