~From the eyes of a wolf – "The Bite" part three~
Severus Snape was standing in the kitchen, his face paler then usual, his eyes looking tired and his hair looking somehow strange, like if it had been washed. Sirius looked at Snape confused and then concerned down to Remus, who was currently released from his bonds and held tight in Harry's arms.
"Snape what do you want here?" Sirius asked summoning a glass, filling it up with water and then kneeling down next to his godson and friend, cupping the glass gently against Remus' chapped lips making him drink a little. He sighed in relief as Remus drank the water slowly smiling weakly only then Sirius looked back up to the potions master.
"I must admit that a horrible mistake has happened during the time I was brewing the potion for Lupin, only this morning I saw the result of my failed potion. And as I have heard that Potter is joining you on the moons I thought I come by and see what damage I have done and to come to apologize for any inconvenience I may have caused." Snape said his voice sounded even preoccupied and hadn't held that normal selfish tone. Sirius looked surprised up to Snape, he had never heard the Slytherin talk in such a manner neither had he ever heard the man saying that he failed brewing a potion.
"Inconvenience? Inconvenience! It's because of you Harry is now a Werewolf!" Sirius snarled wanting to get up and to demonstrate Snape how really angry he was. But something caught his wrists making it him unable to get up and as he looked down he looked in Remus' pleading eyes. Sirius now knew that Remus hadn't acted the way he had wanted to but Moony had had the whole time control over him, so that Remus had been caught in the corner of his mind unable to react any differently.
"Sirius… please let him be… he said it himself that he failed brewing the potion…" a hard cough escaped Remus' lungs again making it unable to continue to talk. Harry looked at Sirius once more concerned still holding Remus protectively in his arms trying to sooth the coughing, and then looked back at Snape with a menacing glare.
Snape had taken a step back, understanding only now of what he had done, of what he had caused. Only the silence already made him uncomfortable to stay any longer and for the first time in his life he felt something like sadness inside of him, sadness and grieve for the now cursed boy who was holding on to Lupin like if his life was depending on it. He quickly disapparated, wanting to talk with the headmaster before taking any other step to help to ease the situation, even if that would probably be to late.
Sirius and Harry didn't even notice Snape leave, as their only concern was Remus at the moment, who was still completely in shock from what he had done to Harry. Occasionally he would snap out of it, like earlier when he had talked normal but now his body was trembling and his eyes looked around fearful.
"I am sorry that I treated you that way earlier on, forgive me Moony?" Sirius apologized and a small smile crept along the Werewolf's face, Remus nodded weakly and closed his eyes feeling somehow safe and warm in Harry's arms. He never wanted to get up again, if he could just lie in those arms forever but he knew to well that he couldn't, he wasn't aloud and neither was he willing to bring anyone in even more danger.
Suddenly Sirius lifted Remus up. Remus looked at his friend a little wary but relaxed soon again as he found himself being carried up to his bedroom. He rested his head on Sirius shoulder and placed his arm around Sirius' shoulder to hold himself up in Sirius' arms. As he then looked behind Sirius he saw that Harry was following.
You could see on Harry's face that the boy, no you couldn't say 'the boy' anymore he was more a grown up man, was deep in pain. Harry looked away as Remus had achieved eye contact and then he saw that it was difficult for Harry to place his arm back into the sling. A small tear was forming in Remus' eye again, but he pushed it away quickly not wanting to show anybody that he was about to drown in his own disgrace again.
Once being tucked in his bed, Sirius excused himself leaving Harry and Remus on their own.
Harry was sitting on the edge of the bed his gaze fixed on the floor while Remus contemplated how he was going to start a conversation. They staid many minutes in silence, many minutes in a death like silence.
"Harry I am sorry I never wanted any of this to happen." Remus finally whispered looking at the man next to him with hope and love. Harry turned his head around and looked at Remus slightly confused. Harry then cocked his head to the side and smiled, his eyes brightening steadily. Remus smiled back shyly his face turning slowly in a dark shade of red.
"Remus I… I…" Harry was stuttering turning his face suddenly away again. Remus looked worried towards Harry and pushed himself up in a sitting position. He then laid a comforting hand on Harry's shoulder massaging it gently.
"Harry is something wrong?" Remus asked and Harry looked back at him shaking his head and taking Remus' hand from his shoulder into his.
"Remus what I wanted to say is that… I know that you didn't want this to happen but as long I have got you to lead me I know everything will be alright." Harry said also starting to blush. Remus was confused; Harry was taking everything so easy without any worries. Never less Remus knew that Harry would never have to go through a transformation without the wolfsbane potion, and maybe someday there would be even a cure. Things suddenly didn't look so black and white anymore, but colourful.
"Remmie… would you mind if I kiss you?" Harry stuttered and before Remus could even answer he found a pair of soft lips upon him.
