Chapter Six
Remus stretched, now fully human again, Severus still sleeping peacefully next to him. Remus yawned, and flexed his fingers, while pulling the covers up over his waist, "Sev?"
Severus turned his head away, ignoring being spoken to.
"Sevie..." Remus traced a finger along his shoulder.
"What?" Severus droned, putting and arm around Remus, and pulling him closer.
"It's a Friday...you know that right?"
"Dastardly!" Severus sighed, "What time is it?"
"It's still early..."
"Good, because I am not getting up very soon."
"Sevie..."
"Dastardly, Remus! Can't you just let me sleep?"
"Afraid not, Sev; we have to get up. Remember? Dumbledore wanted to talk to all the Professors this morning?"
"Ugh... Doesn't he believe in sleeping?" Severus opened one bluish eye.
"Probably not." Remus shook his head.
Severus smiled, as he let his hand curve up around Remus's lean hip, "Are you aware you're not wearing anything?"
"Well, I can't very well wear clothes without ruining them, Severus. I thought you would know that."
"Yes, you haven't put anything back on period; I thought you knew I slept in the nude." Remus smiled, and leaned forward to kiss to Severus, let his softer lips press against Severus's harsher feeling ones.
Severus let his eyes flicker shut, and returned this kiss, pushing Remus back with his body, rolling him over onto his back, one arm around his waist, the other behind his neck.
The both jumped when there was a knock on the door leading through to the bathroom.
"Remus? Severus?" Dumbledore allowed himself inside, not at all concerned with Remus's lack of clothing, or Severus's over abundance of it.
"Err...yes, headmaster? Sir?" Severus ran a hand through his hair, "What can I-we do for you?"
"Our meeting..."
"Dastard!"
"Excuse me, Severus?" Albus raised an eyebrow.
"No, no, not you Dumbledore..."
"He's been saying it all morning, Albus." Remus shook his head, "What he means to say, is that we'll be right there."
It was only a few minutes later, that Severus and Remus filed into the staff room, jam packed with all of the Hogwart's Professors.
"Now, as we all know," Dumbledore started, "The faculty Quidditch match was last weekend...are we going to do the Student versus faculty match?"
There where mummers, but no final answers.
"Should really Albus? Because not all of the students would play?"
"Good point Minerva." Dumbledore wrote it down.
"There is a Hufflepuff versus Ravenclaw match in two days." Severus brought it up, "Whose referring?"
"Madam Hooch." Dumbledore told him.
"Oh." He nodded, and kicked Remus when he began to giggle.
"There is also a Gryffindor, Slytherin match in a few weeks...are we going to start a pool?" Minerva asked.
"Should we really be betting on house teams?" Remus asked.
"Five Galleons on Gryffindor." Minerva laid the coins on the table, "Any takers?"
"Ten on Slytherin." Severus said, "I'll give you the money later."
"Oh, do you really trust your team that much? Maybe you better wait till they play Hufflepuff...No offence Sprout."
"None taken." She shrugged.
"If they don't, I will take a total of thirty points away from them in the house cup contest."
"Severus!" Remus kicked him.
Severus pretended not to notice, and crossed arms, "My team will win, Minerva."
"We'll see about that." Minerva shrugged her shoulder daintily.
Severus shrugged, and turned, a little less impressively since his cloak was still upstairs covered with the potion that had gone wrong last night, and walked from the room.
