A/N: thought I would try a new method.. month-by-month.. Bear with me.. I'm just toying with diffrent writing methods. Just FYI, the story will take place through all 7 years of their time at Hogwarts. Poor Hogwarts.
I must warn you, a hint of SLASH near the end, but nothing too serious, in my honest opinion.
OCTOBER
"Pumpkins...how... lovely." Samuel signed to Remy, staring up at the pumpkins floating in the Great Hall as he held his two year old brother, Stephen, in his arms with four year old Alice next to him. "I hate Daddy for making me sit with them. Why does Holly get to sit with her friends?"
"Hey, I thought I was your friend." Remy signed fluently as he bopped Samuel. Samuel laughed, shaking his head. "Plus, it's your punishment for exploding those pumpkins earlier during breakfast. I don't think Filch or Mrs. Norris really do enjoy being covered with Pumpkin guts."
"Right.. keep that in mind." Samuel signed with one hand, awkardly holding on to Stephen. "Stiva, NO!" Samuel shouted, whapping Stephen's hand gently when Stephen was reaching for Samuel's plate of candy. Looking up at his parents with a mournful glance, Samuel sighed. He knew his parents had thought up a creative punishment for him.. this time.
NOVEMBER
"Samuel, why did you have to do that again? Now Fang will smell like a turkey all through December. What is it with you and engorgement spells?" Holly signed sharply as Samuel was being hauled away by Filch and Hagrid, his wand taken from him by Severus.
"I was just... dared to by Remy."
"Right, and You Know Who is alive?" Holly said with a sigh and shake of her head. "At the rate you're going, you're going to be expelled."
"Ok, I'll try to behave... After all, Christmas is coming up." Samuel signed, with a small, sulky sigh as he turned to Hagrid.
"Sorry.... Mr. Ha-red." Samuel said slowly, looking up at Hagrid with large, mournful brown eyes. "I.. won't.. do... that.. a-hen."
"Again, Samuel. You forgot---"
"Shut up, Holly, I was trying to apologize." Samuel signed furioiusly, his face a shade of red. He didn't like apologizing, it made his dignity disappear. "As I was saying.. I apologize, Mr. Hagrid. It won't happen again." Samuel continued in sign language, furious at Holly. Hagrid glanced down at the oldest Snape child, and over to Holly. A sigh escaped his large body, and he shook his head.
"Just... get him out of here. I need to give Fang a bath." Hagrid said with a sweep of his large hand as Filch stood by, openmouthed at the ease of Samuel's escape from certain expellment and punishment.
JANURARY
"HAPPY NEW YEAR!" Remy hollered, as the three friends jumped up, throwing confetti out of their wands, and giggling merrily. "You know, it's tradition to snog someone at midnight on New Year's." Remy said lightly, glancing at Holly and Samuel. Samuel gagged, glancing at Holly.
"No offense, but.. I'm not going to kiss my sister." Samuel signed fluently, his hands stiff with disgust.
"Fine." Holly said with a roll of her eyes as she kissed Samuel and Remy on the cheek. "There you go, all kissed up."
"Urgh." Samuel moaned, rubbing Holly's kiss off of his cheek. "The only girl who can kiss me is Mummy and Alice."
"Why Alice?"
"She's too little to know better." Samuel signed, his wand moving with his hands. "Now, let's put these muggle water balloons to good use, before Professor Wood notices their.. absence." Samuel signed before he picked up a heavy water balloon, lunging it out of the window towards the foot of the Anstronomy Tower, where snogging couples were celebrating New Year's.
"SNAPE!" Hale Dumbledore's voice rang out in the darkness. Holly winced, as Remy grabbed Samuel's arm. A chorus of angry voices hollered "SNAAAPE!" when in the process of being grabbed by Remy, Samuel had knocked the box of water balloons off of the ledge, soaking every single snogging couple at the foot of the Anstronomy Tower.
"RUN!" Holly shouted, shoving Samuel after Remy, the three of them quickly panting as they ran through the corridors of Hogwarts, Holly ducking into the Gryffindor Common Room, while the boys continued towards the Slytherin Common Room.
"Going somewhere?" a silky whisper eminated from the darkness, just outside the corridor leading down to the Slytherin common room. Remy slowed down, tugging on Samuel's arm, his hand moving rapidly to indicate that they had been busted.
"Remy is correct, Samuel. You, Samuel Sebastian Snape, are in a world of trouble. Good thing your mother and I are too....tired.. to punish you tonight. Report tomorrow to Remus Lupin's office for your punishment." Severus said, his hands moving rapidly as he moved out of the shadows, a menacing presence towering down on the two boys.
"But, Professor... it's new year's."
"So what? Go. Immediately!" Severus spat, his hands moving quickly as he drew back into the shadows, watching the two boys head into the Slytherin Common room. Sighing, Severus shook his head as he turned back to continue his own New Year's snogging with Hermione back in their warm living room.
FEBRUARY
"It's Vallen-time's Day." Samuel said with a scowl on his face, holding up several pink cards at breakfast. "All of these girls gave me those with...hearts and kisses... on them. They want to kiss me, Remy. What should I do?"
"Well, I got the same, but some other girls want to kiss me. Emma's been chasing me around."
"Eww." Samuel said, wrinkling up his nose. " Mary-Kate wood has been chasing me all over the castle. Did you see her outside, waiting for me?" Samuel continued in sign language, looking around to make sure no one was watching him. "Let's do something to make everyone stop wanting to kiss us. Let's make... A POTION!"
"Didn't you learn your lesson after last time, with Bram?"
"It's diffrent. This time, it's for us." Samuel signed sharply with a small smile, outlining his potion with Remy. His Mum was making the class to brew a Valentine Potion, and to make the potion they needed, he only had to add a hair to the potion, to protect him and Remy from all the girls that wanted to kiss them.
"Well.. I can't argue, since you're my partner for Potions, and I don't want to be kissed by Holly or Emma." Remy answered in sign, his shoulders hunched in defeat. "But if we get caught.. "
"We won't. I promise."
"That's what you said new year's." Remy said in defeat as he rose from the table, stuffing his valentines in his bag. Samuel laughed, shaking his head as the two headed down to the dungeons.
"Uh-oh.. I feel.. funny." Remy whispered, clutching his stomach as the two sat down in Care of Magical Cratures. "Maybe we shouldn't have added that extra hair."
"No, it's all right, it's just the potion kicking in." Samuel signed furitively, making sure Remy's father couldn't see his signs. "I feel funny too... but everythings ok."
"Um.. " Remy muttered, his face going pink. "I feel really funny, Samuel. Really funny. Like I want to kiss you." Remy said urgently, panic on his face. Samuel wrinkled up his nose, a frown on his lips.
"Me too. Maybe we did the potion wrong?"
"Now you tell me." Remy said with a shake of his head, closing his eyes and leaning back in his chair. Samuel frowned, lenaing in close to Remy. Cracing open an eye, Remy shrugged. "Maybe it will be broken by a kiss? Like in Sleeping Beauty?"
"Sleeping Beauty is for babies like Alice, but it couldn't hurt to try. It has magic in it, so.." Samuel said with a shrug as he looked around the room. "No one here except your dad, so.. " Samuel signed quietly as he sat closely to Remy, his eyes full of questioning.
"All right. Maybe that will break the spell, but.. eew... You defenitely owe me." Remy whispered as he sat up, glancing at his father busily looking over a text on Werewolves. "Now, while he's busy." Samuel nodded, kissing Remy on the cheek stiffly and quickly. "No, you dope, it has to be a real kiss. On the lips.." Remy said shaking his head as he kissed Samuel full on the lips.
"Urk." Samuel gagged, shaking his head. His head was all clear now, and he didn't want to kiss Remy anymore. He felt relieved, since he didn't want to kiss Remy anymore. He really should pay more attention when brewing any more potions.
"Ugh." Remy shivered, shaking his head. He didn't really like kissing all that much, if people really did kiss like Samuel did, all dry and stiff. Well, at least he didn't feel sick anymore, the spell had been broken.
"Oh dear." Remus whispered as he looked up from his text on werewolves, to see what that sound had been, and saw his son kiss his best friend. What was this world coming to? He'd have to speak to Severus about this, quietly, Very Quietly, Remus thought with capital letters as he watched the two boys pull apart quickly, students pouring into the classroom. At least the room had been empty, Remus thought as he stood up on unsteady feet, and promptly fainted when he set his eyes on his son and Severus's son, sitting innocently at their seats in the back row of the classroom.
A/N: I couldn't think of any other way Samuel could have botched the potion. Anyway, they are only eleven, and I THINK they're supposed to not like girls until they're thirteen or fourteen. Plus, I just wanted to make Remus faint. Read and Review, please... I like to know how I'm doing. Please, no outright flaming. Constructive Criticism, if you do have any complaints....
I must warn you, a hint of SLASH near the end, but nothing too serious, in my honest opinion.
