Shakespeare. WARNING THERE ARE GAY Relationships here. I CANNOT stress this
enough. REMUS/SEVERUS! I skip forward a lot here, and this is where it
gets really AU. Kay?
Severus rested his head on his fists. The FOOLS! Why hadn't they listened?! He'd WARNED them! Why hadn't they run? He didn't noticed he'd been clenching his hands to tight until the blood dripped down his wrist. But they had gotten Voldemort. They had GOT the bastard! He had resisted and an "Accidental" Avedakadvra curse had finished the job. No more evil, no more meetings, no more rape, he was free! The manacles around his wrists clinked angrily, reminding him that he was on trial. The voices had become an annoying buzz in the background, like flies over a carcass. It couldn't be proven that he had thrown the deadly curse. And Lucius was in Azkaban, Thank god.
"Severus, Severus." The battered man looked up at the one person who had always been there. "Yes headmaster?" "Have you been paying attention?" The younger male shook his head. And the sigh was fond and exasperated at the same time. "You've been pardoned." Hope swelled in the Slytherin's chest, "I can go?" Dumbledore shook his head slightly, "You'll have to be under surveillance for a few years. They've decided I can do it. You'll have to stay at Hogwarts." The hope left in a rush, how would he get funding for his experiments now? "You will be able to continue your studies, But, I was hoping you would consent to be our new potions teacher." Severus's mouth twitched upward "Of course, headmaster."

Remus looked at the noxious potion in front of him, "Severus, it smells disgusting." The Potions master snorted, "Well it works." "How do you know it does?" He winced at the whine in his voice as his friends eyes went cold. "Because I TESTED it, and before you ask YES it was a willing subject." Moony decided this was the time to make amends, "I wasn't going to ask, I trust you. 'Fear me not.'" The corners of the Slytherin's mouth twitched up, " 'No, marry, I fear thee.' Romeo and Juliet Act one scene one. I didn't know you read Shakespeare."
Remus took the goblet, "No, after what happened to Lily and James," His voice caught but he worked past it. "we didn't exactly get together much." "What you're trying to say is that your prat of a friend was keeping you away from me." Remus smiled ruefully, "That to, Though I always thought it was McGonnagle following us around prying into my private life, like a journalist, that kept you away." He was rewarded with a short barking laugh, then Dark chocolate eyes pierced him.
"You're stalling. Drink." Lupin tried one last diversionary tactic, "I've never heard you really laugh." Severus growled, (A trick for a man with no wolf in him.) Remus thought, trying doggedly to keep his mind off the blorping drink he was holding. "And You never will, Now DRINK!" "Okay, okay . . ." he gulped it down gagging as it fought to resurface. "Oh . . . I don't feel so well . . ." It slithered along his insides like a snake of ice, freezing everything in it's path. Suddenly a warm hand was on his elbow steadying him.
"It's alright, just a side effect, it's worth it when you change, I promise." Talk was his only connection to the real world besides that warm hand, his vision was going spotty. "Did your tester feel like this to? All icy?" he felt himself being settled but for the life of him he couldn't figure out what on. "She said that she felt like a little goblin was gnawing at her insides with icicle teeth." Moony blinked, it didn't do much to clear away the haze that was covering his view. "Those were her exact words?" Another warm hand stroked damp bangs away from his forehead and he realized he was sweating. "Yes, they came right after, 'Oh shit, I feel like I'm going to blow chunks'" #############################################################
AN: There you have it! The first appearance of "THE POTION" (Ominous music) and for you Lucius lovers, he's not gone for good. Until Next Time! =^_^=
