Chapter10: The best laid plans

Severus walked speedily (Severus Snape didn't run) through the corridors of Hogwarts to his chambers in the Slytherin dungeons.

The wedding was OFF!

That sleazy, good for nothing, cheating, randy, lying Lothario that was Sirius Black couldn't even wait until they were married before cheating on him.

No, he started before the bloody wedding, at their engagement/stag night no less! And it's not as if he had been set up by his friends as a drunken prank.

Severus was present! They had decided to have a combined celebration.

Everything had been going great until he'd gone to the toilet and there, in the corridor was his beloved fiancé up against the wall snogging some witch.

The same slut of a witch who'd been panting after Sirius all evening.

"Ooh Sirius, tomorrow should be considered a day of mourning for all the single witches out there." She'd simpered.

Severus wanted to puke!

Stupid little blonde bitch.

But Sirius had simply lapped it up.

Well, fuck him.

At least he'd found out now before he'd bonded with him.

It hurt like a bitch. In fact his guts ached like he'd been Crucio'd and the rest of his body simply felt numb. But this was nothing compared to the pain he would if they had been bonded.

All he wanted to do was lock himself away in his chambers with a vintage bottle of firewhiskey and forget that he had ever encountered that lying bastard.

He heard the sound of footsteps running behind him, catching him up. Thankfully, he was almost back at his quarters. He knew it was Sirius.

"Severus!" He called out breathlessly.

Too late. Snape entered his rooms and slammed the door shut, warding it shut tight.

"Fuck off back to your simpering little bitch, Black." He shouted through the door.

"Don't be an arsehole Sev. I can explain." He reasoned.

"What, last minute fling? Had I been a few minutes later, I'd been treated to a ringside seat, watching you fuck her up against the corridor wall"

"If you would have hung around instead of bolting off like that, what you would have seen me was me tell her in no uncertain terms that her advances were certainly not welcome."

"Yeah, well you were bound to say that as I wasn't there to witness it. Well as far as I'm concerned this is a blessing in disguise and I'm glad I found out the truth before I committed myself for a lifetime to you, you cheating twat!"

"What are saying?"

"What do you mean, what am I saying? What do you think I'm saying, the wedding is off of course."

"It fucking well isn't!" Sirius yelled back through the door. "Now open this door and let's talk about this rationally."

"You can't be serious? Do you expect me to forget that I've just watched you play tonsil tennis with some air headed bimbo and then unquestioningly, continue with our wedding?

"Yes, I do. Look Sev, she pounced on me when I went for a slash, honestly. She accosted me out in the hallway on my way back and the before I knew what was happening, she had me pinned up against the wall quicker than a bloody wrestler." He laughed mirthlessly.

"I mean, I knew she was gagging for it and yes, admittedly we flirted but I didn't expect that to happen. I mean for God's sake it's our engagement party!"

"Well, you should of thought about that shouldn't you? Have you any idea what that did to me tonight?" Snape slid slowly down the door. A sob rose in his chest. He hadn't cried for years. He suppressed it as best he could.

"Severus" He growled tiredly.

"No, you don't do you! Even now." He wished he just leave. Leave, so he could break his heart privately.

"Go away Sirius. Just go away." He told emotionlessly.
