CHAPTER TWO
"Thanks for this Sev." Sirius smiled as he followed him into the bedroom, his arms carrying a large green and blue duvet.
"Well, I have been where you are now. I just want to stop you from making an ass of yourself like I did. Morgana Le Faye! I was so ashamed."
"Why what did you do?"
"I um... I confused Draco and Lucius", Serverus muttered, cheeks again suffused in a pink blush.
"Oh dear." Sirius attempted to stifle the truly juvenile guffaw that threatened to erupt from his mouth. "They do look awfully alike don't they?" Apparently sober Sirius was aware of the fact that Serverus could castrate him in a moment.
"Yes, well, you might not have the same problem, but I do know that alcohol is probably not the best idea to take when you are feeling upset. Now, give me the duvet and I'll make up the bed. I'm tired and need a sleep. Kiara wore me out the other night now you have done it tonight."
"Old Man," Sirius laughed. "That negligee did look good on you though, See you in the morning. And thanks for this."
"Shut up and go to sleep Black."
And all was peaceful.
Severus woke up the next morning to the sound of the door closing softly. Years of spying on the infamous Lord Voldermort, AKA Tom Marvolo Riddle, AKA "Yes Master, Please Crucio Me again", had honed his senses to what could be considered a rapier point, (if a mans senses could be considered an inanimate object). Pretending to sleep he listened to the noise of a man moving around his bathroom and living area. It had been awhile since someone had stayed over the night and used his things so casually. Eventually the door leading to the dungeons opened and closed and Black had gone.
So, with a sigh of relief, Severus headed into his bathroom, only to stop in awestruck horror. Thinking back to the previous night/morning, he was sure that there had only been one Griffindor in his quarters. And yet, by the state of his small, practical bathroom, an entire tribe of the red-clothed monsters had raged a war against his shower and managed to subdue it after a valiant struggle against tremendous odds and a lilac patterned shower curtain.
Since the unfortunately traumatic event of a house elf walking in on Severus and two quite comely lasses of Australian origin, elves had been banned from entering his quarters, ensuring that Severus knew all the cleaning spells known to man and Molly Weasley. At the thought of how long it would take him to clean up the mess, he deeply regretted ever saying a cross word to the elf population at Hogwarts.
After a quick clean using the relatively un-scarred basin, and resolving to hold a funeral for the curtain, Severus, hair still wet, left for a breakfast of pancakes and syrup and the sight of Lupin's new female lover.
But all did not go according to plan for the potions master this fine Saturday Morning. Instead of watching Sirius Black squirm at the sight of his lover's new partner, he found Lupin had pushed him into a corner. Years of working with the Griffindor contingent, had unfortunately left him with a heroic streak a good inch and a half wide. And so he decided to make Lupin pay. And if it humiliated Black at the same time, so be it, he thought with an internal evil grin. So the streak was closer to an inch wide. I claim writers priviledge.
Sirius Point Of View"Hey Love, you left the bathroom a mess this morning" Severus Snape spoke suddenly at my ear, an arm curving around to my chest and starting to tweak my nipples. I admit I squawked in shock.
Well it's not everyday that the most disliked and, (according to Remus), slutty professor to ever cross the threshold of Hogwarts, should start acting so familiar with my body. And in front of your partner, ex-partner. What ever.
"Sn..Severus.. Wha"
"You and Snape? Sirius! I had no idea I hurt you that badly! You are better than that Sirius! I swear, you will find some one soon." Remus' patronizing tone made me grit my teeth and I sensed Severus was struggling to hold back his laughter but when he spoke, his voice was completely serious.
"I have been trying to convince Sirry for months to finally tell you about us. I'm so relieved its finally out in the open. I am sorry Lupin, but you have to see that Sirius and I are meant to be together. And we have been sleeping together for so long now and it's so nice that.... Are you okay Lupin?"
I couldn't help gaping at the nonsense spouting from Snape's mouth.
"I... uh... I".
"Sirius! You fucking Wanker! You lying, deceitful piece of.. "
"Remus.. I swear I..."
Remus turned and stormed off, throwing a tantrum as bad as when we were third years. I turned to Snape ready to rip him a new one, when he grabbed his wand and erected a silencing bubble to stop anyone from hearing what we are speaking about.
"Listen, before you say anything I have an idea. You want Lupin back right?"
I nod speechlessly at Snape's snapped question.
"And I want Lucius back so we play the jealousy card. I'll play up to you around Lupin, you play up to me around Lucius, okay? You move into my rooms, We act nicey-nicey and boom. Before you know it, everything is right with the world again! What do you think?"
What was I supposed to say? I wanted Remus back.
I waved the bubble away and put my arm around Snape's, I mean Severus' waist.
"Come on Love, I could really do with a big plate of bacon and eggs."
"Ughh! Sirry, it's too early in the morning for that. Pancakes and syrup. That's the ideal Saturday morning breakfast."
By now we had entered the dining hall, and we felt the eyes of the staff on us.
"I think we are causing a bit of stir Black" Snape muttered into the side of my neck, pretending to nuzzle me.
"Well, no one is used to you being so demonstrative with anyone. Should I sit with you?"
"mm. And then I can act deliciously in lust... ur... love. Whatever."
They reached the table and immediately Severus reached for the syrup and the thick, ginger flavoured cream.
"I never would have guessed you had such a sweet tooth Sev."

HUGE Thank You's to:
Enahma. Thanks for your review. It was my First ever. Sends a big bouquet of cyber roses and a mental image of Snape slathered in Syrup. No wait, I'm keeping that. I'll send you a review on your own stories instead okay? Although I don't usually read hetro-romance. Have taken your advice, as you may have noticed so thanks heaps for your help. Sorry your review isn't on the review thingy but after I deleted and reposted it wasn't there. Thanks heaps though.
Everyone else. I PROMISE I have read your reviews. And Loved each and everyone of them. Problem is, as you will have read on my author page thingy... y'know. The page you go to when you click on my name.. anyway, if you go there you will see why I can't update very often – read as once every three months – and why I am throwing my story to the hungary Voices out there.
