Forbidden Feelings
Chapter 3
Secrets Revealed
Disclaimer: I don't own Severus Snape, Remus Lupin or any other Harry Potter character. Wish I did, though...
A/N: I'm very sorry for the delay, but I've started writing a new story called Murmurous Summer Symphony, and it's taken a lot of my spare time. Also, I've begun a whole new story called The Black Rose of Despair, so that has also stolen a lot of my time. Okay, enough with the excuses;)
I want to thank everyone who has reviewed. It really means a lot to me:-) Ahem, this chapter is written while listening to "I don't like the drugs (but the drugs like me)" by Marilyn Manson, so it's bound to be a bit weird. Consider yourselves warned! And no, no drugs will appear in this chapter. Just thought I'd let you know. May come up in another chapter, though! You never know;)

"Okay, Albus. You'd better tell me what's going on now, or else I'll have a pray to hunt down when the full moon rises." Remus said as he walked through the door to the Headmasters office the day after he brought Severus back to Hogwarts.
"I'm sorry, Remus. But ..." Dumbledore began, but Remus interrupted.
"No, Albus. I don't want to hear any excuses. I want the truth, and I want it now!" He hadn't been able to sleep all night, thinking about what had happened, and he'd bee damned if he was going to let the Headmaster get away with it easily.
"I wish I could tell you, but fact remains that...."
"Albus, I'm warning you! Now talk."
Dumbledore sighed, and then nodded his head. "Alright, Remus, I'll tell you. But could you at least sit down?" He indicated towards the chair in front of his desk.
The werewolf sat down, folded his hands in his lap, and leaned back in the chair. Silently he waited for the Headmaster to begin.
"Well, it's all very simple, really. I put Severus under a concealing charm so that his looks wouldn't get him into trouble." Albus said.
'Oh no, Headmaster. You're not getting away with just that' Remus thought to himself. "Yes, I had already gathered as much, thank you. What I want to know is, why you had to put him under a charm in the first place"
"I already told you. So that he could keep out of trouble. Not that it has helped any." Albus smiled at his own joke.
"No, Albus! Bloody Hell! Why is Severus looking the way he does?" Lupin could feel himself getting angry, and Dumbledore apparently refused to give up without a fight.
"Oh! Why didn't you say so right away?" the old mans eyes twinkled, and Remus was trying to sit still in the chair while he seethed.
"Albus! I'm in no mood for games. Just bloody well tell me the story!" he shouted. If Albus didn't started talking right away then Remus just couldn't be held responsible for his actions.
"Okay, Remus. I'm sorry. I simply couldn't help it." 'He's mocking you, Remus.' The inner voice told him. As if he didn't already know that!
"I know you always thought that Severus comes from a pure-blooded family, but that's not true. His father is a very powerful wizard by the name Behan Snape, but his mother is an elf. I don't know her name. Severus refuses to tell me."
"He's part elf? Wow, I'd never imagined! But why do I get the feeling that there's more to this, than the fact that Snape is a half-elf? What are you not telling me, Albus?"
"I'm not going to tell you anymore. I've already broken the trust Severus has put in me. I'm certain that, in time, he'll tell you all about it." Albus said. He looked a bit guilty, and Remus almost felt sorry for him. Almost.
Hmm.I know it's short and that it's been a VERY long time since my last update. I'll make a new update soon on this story, though. Promise!! Please review and tell me if you like it! :)
