Remus's eyes were wide open as he gazed into Snape's. He tried to turn around, tried to look away, but he couldn't, as though he were under a spell.
Snape wasn't much different. No matter how hard he tried to avert his gaze his eyes stuck on Remus. He finally looked away when he realized Lucius was staring at him.
Lupin jumped as he felt two arms resting atop his head. Laying on top of those two arms was Sirius.
"Whatcha looking at Moony?" , Sirius asked playing with his hair.
"...I would reeeaaalllllly appreciate it if you would stop doing that...", Remus said tilting his head and forcing Sirius off. He turned back to the table without another word. Sirius pouted and turned towards James instead engaging into random conversation about Jame's next Quidditch practice and how well he did during the last match. James was obviously used to such praise for he looked like a king as Sirius continued to praise James for "beating the shit out of Slytherin" in last weeks game.
Lupin crossed his arms on the table and rested his head on it, occasionally peaking over at the Slytherin table , often times seeing Snape looking back.
" So that's the plan huh? Heh, the old git won't know what's coming to him"
Lupin looked over at Sirius. Whoever they were talking about he couldn't let them take this plan out on them... He remembered their past plans.
"Padfoot... Who are you talking about"
"We're gonna get that git Clutch back, and maybe the twerp and Lucius too", James whispered.
"You've got to be kidding me! Don't you remember what happened when you tried to get back Pomfry for ratting on you? She was in the hospital for eight weeks"
Sirius and James burst out laughing. Those idiots, Lupin thought to himself and stood up.
"Whatever your thinking about doing I won't be apart of it", he said and walked out of the Great Hall.
Sirius grinned, "I think you will Moony"
-------------------------------------------------------------
As they walked to detention, Sirius and James walked next to each other whispering in each other's ears and looking at Lupin, who was walking behind them trying to avoid them. The three of them walked into the small classroom where Clutch was sitting at his desk, reading a small spell book.
"Ah, Mr. Black, Mr. Potter, and Mr. Lupin", He sneered, " Come in"
Lupin shut the door behind him as James and Sirius sat together at one of the tables. Lupin went to a separate table at the other side of the room.
"Now lets see, what can I do with you?", Clutch said walking up to Sirius.
"You can go to hell...", Sirius said to himself. James tried to contain his laugh but was having difficulties.
"Did you say something Mr. Black"
"No sir"
"All right then. You can start off by cleaning the cauldrons... All of them, without magic", he said throwing a rag at Sirius. Sirius shrugged and walked to the first cauldron. Then he realized why he had been given this job. Whatever the last class had brewed left the cauldron filled with brown muck that stuck to the cauldron like gum. It was going to take an hour to clean just one out of the numerous sprawled about the classroom. Sirius growled and started scrubbing as hard as he could... Which wasn't doing much good for the goo stuck both the rag and cauldron together.
"For you Mr. potter...", he slammed a huge book on his desk . " Copy word for word of the first twenty five chapters, E-V-E-R-Y W-O-R-D!", Clutch walked over the Lupin as James opened up to the first chapter which had to be at least fifty pages long. Lupin could hear James banging his head on the table while he looked up at Clutch awaiting his sentence.
"For you Mr. Lupin...Your free to go", Clutch growled.
"WHAT!", James and Sirius said in unison.
"Severus came up to me after class and said you had nothing to do with the fight, taking your place will be Mr. Malfoy", Clutch made a gesture towards the door where Lucius was standing. Lupin turned around and looked over at him. Lucius looked like he was about to strangle Lupin.
"You can leave now", Clutch said picking Lupin up and throwing him out of the chair. Lupin staggered out the door past Lucius.
"Don't expect this to be the end...", Lucius growled at him as he walked past. Lupin sighed and walked out the classroom. Lucius slammed the door behind him.
---------------------------------------------------------
Lupin decided to wait for Sirius and James. He sat outside in the courtyard entranced in his copy of Magic Madness. He saw a figure walk up to the potions class door and he set his book down. Snape.
Lupin jumped up and walked towards him. Severus looked over at him and jumped back surprised. He started to run away.
"Severus! Wait!", Lupin said running up to him and grabbing his arm. Severus looked back to Remus in shock and tried to pull away.
"Severus I just want to talk to you", Lupin said trying to calm him down. Severus still struggled trying to break free.
"Just listen to me!", Remus screamed. Severus wouldn't listen. Remus gave up and let him go.
Severus stumbled back and landed on the ground. His head hit hard and he let out a scream of pain. Oh my god... Remus thought as he watched blood spill out of Severus's head.
