Remus's eyes sparkled like Diamonds when Severus asked. He slowly sat up, then as if to make up for the lost time, he Tackled Severus wrapping his arms around Sev's neck.
"Careful Remus, you are going to break me." Snape muttered as he rubbed his butt. He had hit the floor pretty hard. Hermione was laughing and Moody was muttering something about
"If a friend can catch him off-guard like that what chances did he have against getting caught by the dark lord?"
Remus grinned. He looked like Sev had just given him a life-time supply of chocolate. He pulled back and looked at Severus' eyes and laughed. "My, my," he chuckled "Sirius and James would have shipped me to the asylum on the spot. Then he stopped smiling and looked back over at Mandeville. He then looked at all the other witches and wizards and even the few muggles who had been bitten. He was going to leave. He was going to leave with someone that wouldn't abuse him or kill him next full moon. Remus felt like a traitor. He was being all happy for himself and without meaning to; rubbing it in the faces of everyone else there.
Mandeville stepped up behind him, placing a hand on his shoulder. "Hey, Rem, don't look so famished, we all know yer out there. Yull fight fur us on the outside?" he asked.
"yes, yes I will I promise!" he smiled "I promise" he repeated, pulling Mandeville into a hug.
"Actually that's why I'm here." Hermione butted in. "and him." She pointed at Moody. "We want to give you a job. At the ministry." She smiled.
It was chaos, almost everyone there grinned and hollered and hugged Lupin and cheered. It was like Christmas come early (or rather, it was like Christmas had actually come.) Severus glared them all into the new-years confessions and commented that Remus didn't have to accept the job if he didn't feel like it. Then he followed up with.
"And who knows if it will change anything. Maybe the people won't wake-up to a thing" he dusted himself off again, not that he needed it and pointed towards the entrance. Remus commented he had a few quick good-byes left to say.
Okay, so I can't really say no to writing more of SS/RL its impossible. Here is another really small chapter but I will tell you now that I only broke it off here for the emphasis on the good-byes, you'll see why in the next chapter. Speaking of which, I've already got it worked out, so it should be up quickly. Hope you enjoy! –the M and the T
