Remus
was walking down the stairs to the Entrance hall. He didn't have
class at that time and was walking the castle. His head was swimming
with memories, but his thoughts were interrupted by a yell. He
stopped in mid-step and looked around. He was the only one on that
floor. He scratched his chin he looked around once more. He voice
echoed once more.
Lupin
walked for door to door, pressing his ear against it. He heard voices
coming for the dungeon door. He opened the door and started down the
dank dimly-lit corridor. His footfalls echoed as they hit the floor.
There were puddles in places and leaks in others. His footsteps were
always drowned out when the voices started once more.
As
he got closer, he recognized one. Snape. Snape was yelling at some
poor student. Remus' pace quickened, more light entered in pupils
giving him a better view of his surroundings. When he turned a corner
he could see the two. Severus was in a students face. That student
was Harry Potter. Remus knew that Harry didn't have to do anything to
get yelled at. Remus stopped about ten feet away from the two.
Snape
turned his greasy head to wards the Defense Agents the Darks Arts
Professor. 'Get out of here, Lupin! This does not concern
you!'
Harry
give a look towards Remus. Lupin shook his finger at Snape, the only
thing was it was his middle finger, but Snape didn't seem to pick up
on it. Harry stifled a laugh. Remus let a small grin creep across his
tired face.
'You see Snape,' Remus said calmly. Lupin had
been the first teacher he had heard call Snape 'Snape' instead of
'Severus'. 'This does concern me. Harry is one of my students and
it seems as if you are harassing him.'
Snape blinked and Harry
was grinning madly. Snape's old expression sun returned to his
astonished face. 'Yes well, he is one of my students as well and I
can do what I please with him when he deifies me!'
'It
wasn't me! It was Mel-' Harry finally piped in.
'QUIET
BOY!' Snape yelled.
'Don't yell at him!' Remus
growled.
'I will do what I wish you incompetent Lycain!'
Snape recoiled.
Remus
was losing himself. Lucky for him, Harry didn't have the foggiest
what a Lycain was. He marched up to Snape until he was in his face.
He rolled up his sleeves and was growling almost wolf like.
'You
wanna go?' Lupin snarled.
'What?' Snape asked
shocked.
'C'mon, Mr. Big Talk. I'll take you right here, right
now.'
After
hearing Remus' voice, the class was peering around the door.
Whispering a rose into the corridor.
'Good,' Remus
thought.
Snape glared at Remus. 'Step away from me, Lupin.' Snape
said, then spat in Lupin's face.
Remus
made a disgusted face as a 'ooohhhhh' came from the class. Remus took
the hem of his tattered robe and whipped the spit off.
'Well,
it was your own bringing.' Remus said as a smirk crossed his
face.
Remus drew
back his fist and hit Snape in the nose. Snape stumbled backwards,
holding his nose, blood seeping though his fingers. The whole class
was laughing, perhaps, Lupin did the wrong thing, but, he couldn't
help it. He looked to Harry who was grinning.
'Alright, now, go
back to class.' Remus said commandingly, pointing to the
classroom door.
A/N: Yes, I know this all against Lupin's character and highly unlikely but...it is what is the outcome of boredom and no life sigh. Alas, I must some better way to spend the time in my life. I also realize that Harry would have to be extremely stupid to NOT figure out what a Lycain was.
