Chapter 1: Lupin's Dream

"So the plan is: we lead Snape into the Forbidden Forest and leave him for the Blast-Ended Skrewts and then. Shhh! He's coming!" James Potter brushed back his hair and pretended to talk to his friends normally. Severus Snape walked by with his head down reading a book on Defense Against The Dark Arts. His greasy hair covered most of his face. "Snape! Didn't you hear? Care of Magical Creatures was changed until after double Potions. We're having it near the Forbidden Forest today," Sirius Black yelled at the oddly skinny, black-haired boy. He looked up startled, glared, and nodded. Snape continued to walk towards the Slytherin tower.

Later that night Remus Lupin, James Potter, Sirius Black, and Peter Pettigrew walked down the pathway toward the Forbidden Forest. "Look you guys! There's Snape!" James pointed towards a black figure near the edge of the forest. Snape looked at his watch, shook his head, and wiped his eyes with the back of his sleeve. Slowly with his head down, he walked back up to the castle. "Aww you guys. ickle Snapey is crying!" Sirius laughed. James and Sirius slapped palms and Peter watched them in awe. Lupin looked up at the sky. "Oh no! I forgot what tonight was!" Lupin shouted. He curled up on the ground and transformed into a werewolf quickly. Screeching he lunged at James.

An older Lupin woke with a start. Sweating and heaving he looked around and picked up a glass of water on a bedside table. There was a picture of himself with his three friends on the table and he swung at it with his fist. It crashed to the floor in several pieces. "Remus, hun, what happened? Are you all right?" Nymphadora Tonks sat up next to him in bed. Lupin wiped his forehead with his hand and sighed. "No. Just a nightmare again. I don't know what to do anymore. They happen every night now," Lupin said. "Here maybe you should take some of this. Moody just gave this to me yesterday." Tonks reached across Lupin to a drawer in the nightstand. She pulled out a small brown bag and a copy of Magical Me by Gilderoy Lockhart. Lupin couldn't help but stare at her backside while she leaned over him. Lupin looked inside the bag and noticed it was Floo Powder. Tonks spread a line of it over the cover of the book and with a green piece of paper, which looked like a Muggle dollar, snorted it. Lupin looked at her strangely but followed.

About an hour later Lupin could feel a strange sensation flowing through his body. Especially in one certain special area. This, he thought, this is what Floo Powder is supposed to feel like. He looked over at Tonks who was lying down and staring up at him. She smiled and he bent over and kissed her.

"Professor Lupin!" Harry Potter had entered the room and was standing in the doorway gaping. "Harry!" Tonks sat up and bonked her head on Lupin's. The pain's sensation was greater because of the Floo Powder. Lupin turned around and faced the almost 16-year-old boy. Harry grinned. "Well Harry, you see, Tonks here. she. passed out! I was just giving her." Lupin started. Realizing how enormously lame that sounded, he gave up and shrugged. "Don't worry. I had a feeling," said Harry still grinning. Ron appeared at Harry's side and stared at the two adults. "Whoa! Professor Lupin! Nice going!" Ron and Harry slapped palms and laughed. Lupin turned as red as an apple and shyly looked over at Tonks. She looked at him and muffled a laugh. "Well I just wanted to ask you a question Professor, but I suppose it can wait until tomorrow," Harry grinned and he and Ron shut the door.

Lupin sighed and laid back in the bed completely relaxed. Tonks laughed and kissed him on the forehead. Lupin wrapped his arms around her and smiled. They kissed deeply and Lupin could feel the sensation in his groin area growing stronger. Every sensation he was feeling was increasingly stronger with the Floo Powder. The sex was the best he'd ever had and afterwards Tonks feel asleep next to him. Lupin rose out of bed, still sensitive, and walked to the kitchen of the Black house. He passed Hermione in the hall that looked at the floor shyly smiling. This was starting to get annoying, he thought.
