I didn´t write this story in English, my friend (Talhonjik here on ff.net) translated it for me (and kind of without my permission .). I hope everything came across properly in the translation.

Great Expectations

This story is written in response to Severitus´s challenge. I don't own Harry Potter (wouldn't mind owning Sev or Draccy though) but unfortunately they're all Jo´s (JKR´s), lucky lady.

Chapter 1

Severus Snape (who will hereafter be know as Sev) jumps as the door to his office is opened with a bang, and in walks a rather shabby-looking man.

Sev: "What the #&)# are you doing here werewolf!!!" Sev roars.

The shabby-looking man is, as you've probably realized, Remus Lupin (a.k.a. Remmy). He doesn't let Sev´s greeting upset him, and sits down calmly in the chair facing him.

Remmy: "Severus, I know I shouldn't be here, but this is the only place I feel I should be."

Sev: "#$&"%$&!!! Are YOU HITTING on ME?!!!"

Remmy: "No! EEEEEEW!!!!! What on earth would make you think something like that?!!! OK, that may have come out wrong, but what I´m trying to tell you is just that . oh, I shouldn´t be telling you this but . "

Sev: "Get to the %&$#%$ point, man!!!!"

Remmy waits while Sev finishes his stream of highly colourful words.

Remmy: "This is about Harry Potter"

Sev: "What the %&##% does he have to do with me?!!"

Remmy: "Quite a lot, if my suspicions are correct"

Sev: "And what exactly are your &$#/) suspicions?"

Remmy: "Do you know when Harry´s birthday is?"

Sev: "No, and I don't see what the &%$#& that has to do with anything"

Remmy: "The 31st of July"

Sev goes pale (a near-impossible thing) as Remmy says this.

Sev: "What did you say?"

Remmy: "The 31st of July"

Sev: "This can´t be happening. This just can´t be true! I know!!! It´s you and your friends´ sick sense of humor. This is all one of yours and Black´s sick %$%# jokes, isn´t it?"

Remmy: "Oh my god! What´ll Sirius say?!"

What are Remmy´s suspicions? What do they have to do with Sev and Harry? What´ll Sirry (cool nickname, huh?) say?

There´s only one way to find out, read the next chapter!
