A/N: Updates are taking forever, I know.. pout my bad., but wanted to FINISH this before putting any more on line
REMUS LUPIN glanced down at his tea, wondering why in the world Remy would bring him his tea. Perhaps to apologzie for the frogs in his bed last week..
"Here you go, Dad. I hope your transformation's okay.." Remy whispered as he put down the tea cup and left the room, right after Severus had dropped off the wolfsbane with Samuel. The boy had seemed slightly pecuilar, staring at Remy throughout the time he was there to visit, but perhaps, he was overreacting...
A hour later, Remus sat naked in the bathroom, awaiting his transformation, his eyes shut and leaning against the cool marble of the bathtub. Slowly, he could feel a warm heat brush up through his bones, stretching and popping, and he fell to the ground, exhausted. He closed his eyes and let out a wolf huff, curling up on the bathroom floor for a long moment to gather his energy. A while later, he emerged from the bathroom and caught a reflection of himself in the nearby mirror and nearly leapt out of his fur. His fur was... Green and silver. Completely, utterly, green and silver. Narrowing his wolfish eyes, Remus let out a low growl as he padded over to Remy, nuding a wet silver nose on his son's elbow.
"Rrrrr...."
"Dad, I know, I swea..."
"Rrrrrrr... wuff." Remy growled as he nudged his head towards Remy's room, where Remy was confined to for the rest of the night without supper. Remus curled up on the rug in front of the fire, he just had to speak to Severus about that boy of his...
"THEY WHAT?" Severus shouted as his eyes went wide, risinig from his seat in the staffroom armchair. Hermione turned to glare at her husband, shushing him.
"I just got Stiva to nap. Shush, the both of you." Hermione scolded as she frowned at a nearby couch, where the black-haired and brown-eyed boy was napping.
"Sorry, Hermione.. but .. the boys were tampering with my potion. I know that does warrant detention for the rest of their natural lives, at least in Remy's case." Remus said with a quiet sigh as Severus slumped in his chair, not wanting to punish his son.. he had been on his best behavior for eight weeks running, and he hadn't wanted to break that record, but....
"I'll speak to Samuel, and you can speak to Remy. I'll have Samuel clean the entire castle from top to bottom using muggle means, that will keep him busy until the end of the year."
"Certainnly. Remy can take care of the outside of the grounds, then. Fair's fair." Remus said with a smile. "After all, Reubus mentioned the garden was looking a mite dreadful."
"As did Minerva, come to think of it." Severus said with a smile as he swept out of the staff room in search of his errant son and the boy's best friend. Remus followed, keeping an eye out for the two boys as well. Remus parted ways with severus at the great hall, as Severus headed down to the dungeons, and Remus entered the Great Hall.
"Oh, Prof. Lupin looks mad." Harlequinn Malfoy whispered to Holly Snape. "I bet it's your brother."
"Oh no.. that means Dad will end up yelling at him all night.." Holly moaned, burying her face into Harlequinn's robes. Harlequinn shifted in his seat, stifling a chuckle.
"Hullo, Professor. If you're looking for Samuel, he and Remy .. uh, went off to the library. Said something about a research thing." Harlequinn said with a shrug as Holly's head shot up from his shoulder, her jaw slightly open as Remus chuckled.
"Research? Samuel and Remy? only if there's something of mischief involved, let me assure you." Holly huffed, rising sharply from her seat. "C'mon Harley.. let's go." The two bid remus a friendly goodbye and left him in the middle of the hall, trying not to guffaw. It seemed to him that he should report to Severus that he had yet another child to worry about....
"Dad! oh my god, unbelieveable.. you mean, I gotta clean the entire castle again?!" Samuel yelled in sign language, his hands flying about in large, exaggerated gestures as Severus stood there with Remus at his side, both men nodding in unison as Remy remained still and silent, his eyes glued on the ground.
"Don't you understand, it's dangerous to pull stunts like that? you could have killed Mr. Lupin." Severus shouted, his hands moving rapidly. Samuel nodded, wide-eyed and pale. Both boys shared a long-suffering glance and shook their heads weakly.
At least, they had something to do over their summer vacation.....
