WARNING: Some idiotic potions professors

For the Love of Severus Snape

"Have you told him?"

Severus turned away from Harry, busying himself with something on the table.

"I can't pretend to know what you are talking about Mr. Potter."

"Oh, don't give me that bullshit."

Remus nearly gasped from his spot outside the door, debating over whether or not he should smack Harry for his disrespect.

Before he could make up his mind, something in Severus' tone stopped him.

"We are rescuing Sirius tomorrow."

Harry nodded.

"I am well aware of that. What does that have to do with you not telling Remus how you feel about him?"

Remus was confused. Severus hated him didn't he? He had hated him ever since he had nearly killed him in fifth year. Moony whimpered in need for his mate, but Remus shut him out. Severus did not want him, so he would not force himself on the man.

"It is clear to me that Remus has feelings for that mutt, and as much as I hate to admit it, Sirius can be so much more than I can. He can offer him so much that I cannot. If I truly love him, I can let him find happiness, even in the arms of another."

Moony nearly growled at the ignorance of his mate, and Remus nearly joined him.

"You are an idiot Severus Snape."

Remus decided to take a leap of Gryffindor courage, and made his presence known. He pushed open the door, stepping in.

"I agree."

Severus froze. He was torn between running away from the nearest threat and running to Remus. It had been so long since they had been in close proximity, not counting when he had to play healer.

"Harry, can you leave us alone for a moment? I think Severus and I have something to discuss. Privately."

Harry nodded, sprinting out the door and down the hall. Most likely to his and Draco's room.

"Severus, why on earth would you think me attracted to Sirius Black?"

Severus' eyes widened marginally.

"I well- I just assumed- You and him are always- and well-"

Remus marched up to him, so close that he could smell the mint on the other's breath.

"Sirius Black is my best friend, and blood brother. He is also the only other equal member left of my pack, other than my mate."

If anything, the pale palor of Severus' face only increased.

"Your mate? And what do you mean? I thought Harry was-"

"Harry is an Alpha. Once he reaches majority, he will take his father's place as my pack leader. That is how Moony's mind works. And yes, my mate."

Severus looked down, unable to look Remus in the eye as he asked his next question.

"And- and who is your mate?"

Remus brought his chin up softly.

"You are my mate Severus Snape."

"I'm- I'm your- are you sure?"

Then Remus really did growl, before attacking Severus' mouth.

"Yes you insolent fool! I know who my mate is!"

Severus smiled unseurely then, before pulling Remus back for another kiss.
