"Absolutely not!" Remus heard as he walked through the cold halls of the dungeons of Hogwarts. The headmaster had already informed him that he would be traveling with Snape...In the muggle world no less...

He paused at the closed doorway to Serverus' chambers. "Calm down, Professor Snape. You know as well as I do that the children are in danger if you continue to teach here." Albus' voice could be heard through the door.

"It isn't that and you know it! Why? Why does that volatile creature you call a wizard have to be the one to accompany me!"

Remus felt a tinge of disappointment. He knew Severus hated him, so he wondered why he got this feeling just because he's putting up a fuss? Years ago, he would've laughed at Snape along with James and Sirius. 'I wonder if he's forgiven me yet?' Remus thought and thinking it was an appropriate time to knock, he did.

The door was flung open by a seething Potions master. Recovering from the hateful glare Severus pounded upon him, he smirked and drawled; "Ah, is there something wrong Sevy?"

"Remus, please don't make matters worse then they already are." Albus asked. "You two will be leaving tomorrow night, so I suggest you talk and get over your childhood rivalry, tonight." Dumbledore suggested, walking out of Severus' room and into the dimly lit hall. Snape, knowing that wasn't about to happen, reached out to pull his door closed, but Remus stuck his foot out and stopped the door from closing.

""What do you want now, Lupin?" Severus asked looking deeply annoyed.

'A kiss' Remus thought...

'WHERE IN THE BLOODY HELL DID THAT COME FROM!' Remus thought.

"Well..?" Snape acted impatiently.

"I...ah...Will you..." Remus stuttered.

"What? Cat got the wolfs tongue?" Snape sneered.

Remus glared and grabed the sleeve of Severus' arm. "Just walk with me you bloody fool." Startled, Snape let himself be pulled out of his room and Remus slammed his door shut. "Where, precisely, are we going, Lupin?" Snape asked.

"I'm going to see if the Gryffindor first years are up to no good." Remus responded, letting go of Severus' sleeve. "And, of course, to check up on those Weasly twins. They'd be the ones getting the rest into trouble."

"Fine, we might as well stop by the Slytherin dormitories as well." Snape said, agreeing. The two wizards made their way through the dark hall, side by side, to the Slytherin dorms. Surprisingly, all was well there. But it was a much different story when they approached the Fat Lady.

"Good evening! My apologies for waking you, madam. I was just wondering about my Griffindors. They aren't up to not good are they?" Remus asked the sleepy lady in the painting. "The nerve! This is the second time I've been woken up tonight!" The Fat Lady shrieked. "Second time?" Remus inquired. "Yes! Two sixth years woke me up not ten minutes ago! Not even an apology from either one!" She complained.

"Well, by all means, Lady, tell us which way they went." Snape asked. The Fat Lady pointed to the right so the two wizards went after the two Griffindors who were out of bed after hours. After walking around in silence, Remus heard something. He snatched hold of Snapes hand and pulled him back into the shadows. Peering out, Remus almost had a heart attack.

Seamus Finnigan had Neville Longbottom up against the stonewall and was snogging him like there was no tomorrow!

"I've missed you so much Neville." Seamus gasped out to the boy between kisses. Neville didn't reply in words. He wrapped his arms around Seamus' waist and pulled him as close as possible. Seamus' mouth trailed down Nevilles neck and the other boy brushed their groins together.

Remus was having a hard time not laughing.

Then Snapes' voice rang out across the dim hallway, freezing Seamus and Neville in mid-act.

"Out of bed after hours and snogging no less."

Seamus jumped back from Neville and they both stared in shock as Remus and Severus stepped out of the shadows. Recovering, Seamus looked at Neville, who looked close to tears. "Professors, please don't tell anyone about this, please?" Neville pleaded. "My parents would never approve and...and they'd never let me see Seamus again." Tears flowed freely down his face as Seamus gathered him up in his arms.

"I couldn't live without him. Please." Seamus asked. Remus lost it and burst out laughing. "We would never do that to you, Seamus. Don't worry about that for an instant! And please don't cry Neville, everything's alright!" Neville brightened.

"Oh, thank you Professor Lupin, Professor Snape!" Neville exclaimed.

"But that will be 20 points from Gryffindor for being out after hours." Remus said, much to Snapes satisfaction. "Don't let me catch you two out of bed at this time of night again." He added sternly.

"Go back to your dormitories immediately." He said, waving them off.

"And apologize to the Fat Lady for waking her up." Snape snapped.

A/N: Two chapters in one day! Quite the accomplishment...Please review while I down a couple butterbeers for the hell of it...
