Author's Note: This is set in Harry's sixth year of Hogwarts. Sirius is back as a professor along with Remus. This is chapter one of my new fic'. Hope you all like it.

He Asked For Help

Chapter One: He asks

Dumbledore had hired Sirius after Peddigrew was caught in a Death Eater attack. In the same attack Flitwick was killed saving many lives and Sirius was cleared of charges against him, when the truth serum was used on Peddigrew. Two months after he fell into the Veil, he appeared in Mexico out of thin air as if no time had passed, and made his was to England again, by which time his name had been cleared. He took over, from Flitwitck, as charms professor. Remus was rehired when the ministry couldn't find another Defence Against the Dark Arts teacher after Umbridge left.

ZZZZZZ

Professor Lupin and Professor Black stayed sitting as the staff meeting ended. They were talking among themselves before they noticed someone hanging behind the other professors who were gathering their things to going out the door.

"What do you want, Snivillus?" Sirius snapped.

Snape looked at him as if he hadn't already been looking. He walked over slowly. Renus noticed he looked nervous, Severus Snape NEVER looked nervous.

"I," Severus cleared his throat, "I wanted to ask..."

"I don't have all day. Hurry up and spit it out, Snape!" Sirius snapped again.

"Sirius," Remus warned. "What is it Severus?"

Severus kept his voice very low so that the two had to strain to hear him. "I need your help," he whispered.

"WHAT?" Sirius laughed at him. "Severus Snape is asking for my help?" This caused all the remaining staff to turn in his direction.

Severus's eyes darted back and fourth. "No!" he snapped. "I would not ask for YOUR help. As if your ego wasn't big enough!" He turned and stormed out of the room. The staff who had witnessed this rolled their eyes, thinking it to be another arguement between Sirius and Severus. They walked out leaving Remus and Sirius to talk.

"You shouldn't have laughed in his face, Sirius!" Remus stated plainly.

"I couldn't help it, Moony. Imagine him, asking for real help. He probably wanted to land us with a crapy job like collecting ingredients or cleaning cauldrons."

Remus laughed. "I suppose you're right."

"'Course I am. Anyway... what were we talking about before that?"

"I can't remember."

What do you think? Will I continue?
