Severus Snape was a man who liked to be in control, especially of his emotions.
"Great, just great. Two bloody hard ons in one night because of that stupid girl, is this Gods way of revenge for all the 'sins' I've committed?" he sneered to himself,
"It must be old chap but would you mind removing a little of the tension it couldn't hurt!" commented his inner demon,
"Shut up and piss off!" was the answer out loud.
"Perhaps I should come back later," said the cheerful voice of Remus Lupin making Snape jump at the interruption.
"What the hell are you doing in here?" was the snarled reply accompanied by an icy glare,
"Well I did knock Severus but the door was open…
"So you decided to just waltz in and run to the rescue which is what you noble headed Gryffindor's do best" be the sarcastic interruption,
"Actually Severus I came to ask how Hermione was, and not all Gryffindor's are like that you know!" Lupin added in a slightly hurt voice, which of course Snape picked up on.
But instead of his customary sneer…
"Sorry…"came the very stiff and grudging apology,
"But it's been a very long day, 24hours without sleep is a lot, even for me"
"It's okay I understand and Sirius will be delighted to hear that you actually do know how to apologise"
"Oh HA bloody HA Lupin you're just so witty…" Snape said, while Lupin laughed, very sarcastically, but the curl of his upper lip was unmistakable,
"Now piss off and leave me in peace…"
"Okay Severus I'll go, see you at breakfast in an hour, you must have been standing in front of that mirror longer than you thought" added Lupin sensing Snape's question, with a slight nod from Snape he turned and started for the door.
"By the way Lupin Hermione is… recovering"
A brief smile at this freely given information was shared between the two men, then Lupin left to leave Snape in the peace of privacy.
Sorry it's short but I will try and get some more done later tonight hope you enjoy this chapter and feel free to review whether it's for good or bad.
