Cheated –Chapter 21:

Remus was eating breakfast with James and Peter when his owl flew in and dropped his letter on his plate dirtying the letter with syrup from his waffles.

"Who's that from Remmy?" James asked taking a bite of his toast.

"It's from my parents most likely telling if I have to come home or stay here for winter break." He said wiping off the syrup from his letter with a napkin.

"Oh I see, I have to go home and so does Peter. I am not sure about Sirius though, I think he might be staying here unless my parents invite him over again, but they haven't mentions it." James said.

Remus opened the letter and it said:

Dear Remus,

We only want you to come home for two days during the two week winter break. We already worked this out with the Headmaster. You will be coming on Christmas Eve and Day by floo powder in the Headmaster's Office. Then you can go back to Hogwarts with your friends.

Love,

Mum

P.S. You can bring a friend so that your father wont do you know what. Love you.

Remus was so glad that he could bring a friend. But he couldn't bring James or Peter as they were going home; he wasn't on speaking terms with Sirius so all that was left was Severus, his boyfriend. All he had to do is ask Severus and try to hide their relationship from his parents. This would be rather difficult. Remus folded his letter up smiling.

"Well, what did it say?" Peter asked.

"My parents want me home for Christmas Eve and Christmas Day. I could also bring one friend. But you guys are going home and I have decided to bring Severus."

"Are you sure that's a good idea? I mean your parents don't know about you being gay do they?" James asked with a worried expression on his face.

"Well, no, but we could just try to hide it. It will only be for two days, I think we could handle it. I just have to ask him if it's okay, then write back to tell my mom that I am going to bring him."

"I still don't think that it's a very good idea, I mean it's really obvious no matter how hard you try to hide it. But if you try really hard than I think you might just barley pull it off. They might just think that you are really close friends with him." James said.

"Yeah we could act like really close friends; that might just work." Remus said thinking about it.

"Are you ever going to tell them that you're gay?"

"Well yeah…when I move out of course. It's hard enough for them to deal with me being a werewolf but being a gay werewolf…I don't think they would be able to take it." It would give his father an even more reason to dislike him, or hate might be the more necessary word for it. "Well I am going to ask Sev, alright?"

"Don't get side tracked!" James smirked. "Okay then. We are going to be out by the lake if you want to join us, we might go for a dip in the ice cold water."

"Okay, I will try to meet you there. Bye."

"Bye" James and Peter said in unison. Remus got up and walked to the exit of the Hall and looked over to his boyfriend and motioned him over and left. "He's most likely not coming back." Said James.

Severus stood up from his table and left his empty plate, he hadn't had the chance to eat yet. He sighed feeling hungry and left the Hall. Remus was waiting next to the doors with his arms folded in front if him. "Yes?"

"Well I wanted to talk to you about this winter break." Remus told him.

"You don't have to go home do you?" he asked worriedly.

"Well yes I do, but…"

"No, you can't leave me! Please stay here. I won't let your father hurt you!" Severus said grabbing his boyfriends' shoulders and shaking him lightly then pulling him into a hug.

"Sev I was just going to-"

"I am keeping you here and there is no one that can stop me…well maybe you of course. But you can't go!" the dark haired boy said seriously.

"Listen to me!" Remus said fiercely with a small growl; that caught Severus' attention. "I am going to my parent's house for two days. And my mum said that I can take a friend. My dad doesn't know that I am taking a friend though, so now he won't do anything to me if somebody else is there. And…"

"And…?"

"I was wondering if you wanted to go with me if you aren't going anywhere."

Severus stared at Remus for a couple of seconds thinking about what was going on. Then he said, "Of course I will go with you, I don't have to be home this Christmas because my parents are having some party."

Remus jumped up on Severus so he had to carry the other boy, Remus gave him a few sloppy kissed and said, "Break starts tomorrow but we don't have to leave until Christmas Eve and we will be there for Christmas day. Then we will stay one more day and we we'll come back because my parents have to do something but they won't tell me what they are doing."

"Yeah, my parents do the same. But anyway guess what?" Severus asked the werewolf leaning down close to his ear.

"What is it?"

"I am going to give you an early Christmas present soon."

"How soon is soon?" Remus asked confused.

"You'll see."

"Aw, come on tell me, why are you doing this to me?" the amber eyed boy whined.

"Because I can, I will, and I want to."

"Fine, be that way."

"Okay then I will. So what do you want to do today, I'm bored." Severus complained.

"Well I was supposed to go to the lake with James and Peter; I think they are waiting for me at the moment."

"You guys are going to jump in that lake? Are you insane?" The dark haired boy looked shocked. "You will freeze to death!"

"I know it's just beginning to snow, but its fun. We try to see who can stay in the cold the longest, do you want to try? We can do it together." Remus offered.

"You're insane, did you know that?"

"Aw come on it's really not that bad. We cast heating charms on our selves after we finish going in so we don't get sick."

"I don't think your friends are going to want me to go with you."

Remus sighed, "Sirius won't be there and James doesn't mind you too much and Peter…well he goes with anything James will do. So I think you will be fine, just don't get in James way."

"Fine, I will go, but I am not sure that I will be going in the water. I'll just watch"

"Wuss" Remus winked at him.

"Excuse me?"

"I just called you a wuss, are you going to do anything about it?"

Severus growled and tried to snatch Remus' robes but he moved back to dodge him. "I am going to get you!"

"I'll beat you to the lake!" Remus said running out of the room and down the corridor. Severus chased after him as fast as he could. He saw Remus turn a corner and he followed him. Soon they were together running out of the Great hall and onto the Hogwarts grounds. James and Peter saw them running and raised their eyebrows, why were they running over to them? They had never seen Snape run ever, he was usually so stiff and always walked or walked fast, but never ran. Remus ran faster and faster leaving his boyfriend behind. Severus was getting a bit slow, he was tired. Remus was just about to the lake with Severus close behind. He stopped dead right before he stepped into the water and the dark haired boy crashed into his boy friend. They fell over into the icy water that was a bit lower than freezing temperature.

"Oh my fucking God! This is cold!" Severus yelled when he sat up in the shallow water. He grabbed Remus' hand to pull him out of the lake while chanting "its cold, its cold" over and over again.

When they got out of the water Remus laughed at the look on Severus' face, he looked completely shocked, he was shivering, his lips were turning blue, and his clothes were sticking tight to his thin body. Remus gave the dark haired boy a hug and kissed his blue lips, "You're freezing!"

"No shit! Okay, I need my wand!" Severus said while searching his uniform. "I can't believe what just happened!"

"Sev, relax, I have my wand." Remus said twirling it in his fingers. "You know, you look sexy when you're all wet!" Remus growled.

The dark haired boy blushed but quickly got over what his boy friend said as he felt the cold come back to him. "Well what are you waiting for? We are going to get hyperthermia and die! Cast the spell!" he said paranoid grabbing for the wand.

"Calm down, being cold for a little while is not going to kill you," Remus said pulling the wand away from Severus' reach and cast the warming charm a few times for warm him up. "You know Sev; body heat is the best way to keep warm." He said grabbing Severus' belt loop and pulling him closer.

"Rem, are you coming over or are you going to shag your boyfriend into the sand?" James called over to them.

The couple blushed; "I will be right there!" the werewolf called back. He then turned back to his boyfriend, "Well do you still want to come with us still or no?"

"Um actually, I am really hungry, I haven't had a chance to eat, and I don't want to hang out with your friends right now. So I think I will go, see you later, love." Severus hugged him tightly and then took off towards the castle still shivering a bit.

Remus turned around toward James and Peter and started to walk to them a little out of breather from running and from falling into the water. It looked like they hadn't gotten in the water yet. "Jump in!"

"What? Not with out you!" Peter said.

"I just jumped in, it's you turn now. Jump or I will have to push you in!" James and Peter paled a bit, they knew Remus was capable of getting them in by force but he had never done it before. Remus was usually not that mean unless he was mad but he rarely ever gets mad. The only person he ever gets mad at Sirius. 'Speaking of Sirius,' Remus thought 'where was he anyways? He might be in the kitchens or something, which is where he likes to hang out when he wants to be alone.'

The other two boys jumped in at the same time slightly splashing Remus' recently dry robes. But Remus didn't care because he was still thinking about Sirius. He sat down on the damp grass as Peter ran out of the water as fast as he possibly could. James came soon after as he could take the icy water a lot longer than Wormtail could. Remus thought that maybe him and Sirius will never be friends again as he kept on losing his trust with major things like cheating and betrayal. Well Sirius was his best friend, maybe they can work something out, it would just take time to recover from what he has done to him. He was broken out of his thoughts when James asked, "Moony, what's wrong?"

"What? Oh, nothing, I was just thinking." Then something hit him. Severus was going to the kitchens and Sirius was most likely there too. "Um Prongs, I think Sev and Siri are about to meet in the kitchens. You know Siri likes to hang out in there when he is mad, and Severus just left to go there. I will be back okay?"

"No, wait, I want to go with you, Sirius said that he was going to stay there for the rest of the day." James said drying himself off and Peter too as he had a hard time with drying and warming charms.

"Okay, are you sure? And I thought that you weren't talking to Sirius."

"Well when I went there earlier he was there. Anyway we need to go or else there might be some blood shed tonight." James told him.

"Well what are we waiting for then, let's go." Remus got up with the help of James and they ran to the kitchens with Peter not too far behind.

When they got to the kitchens they found Sirius and Severus just standing there staring at each other with their wands drawn. If looks could kill they both would be dead right now. All of the house elves were crowding in the corner as far away from them as possible.

Remus stepped in the room and could feel the tension, "Severus, Sirius, put your wands away." He said cautiously drawing his own wand.

"Not until he does," growled Sirius.

"Stop acting immature; both of you put your wands away at the same time." James intervened.

"James don't tell me you are on his side?" asked Sirius shocked.

"I'm not on any ones side, I just don't want there to be a big fight right now, now that Christmas break is coming up in a few days."

"What does it matter anyway? I don't care anymore. Remus hates me, you hate me, and even Peter hates me!" He raised his wand but before he could do anything Remus yelled, "Expelliarmus!" And both Severus and Sirius' wands came flying towards Remus.

"Sirius, what the hell is wrong with you? Do you know what? We will talk later." Remus said grabbing his boyfriends hand, "Come on Sev."

"Wha-"he said being pulled out of the kitchen.

When they got to another corridor leaving James and Peter to deal with Sirius Remus turned around and said, "Thank god you weren't hurt. I am so glad that you didn't do anything to him Sev. I love you."

"I love you too Rem."

(A/N: Okay I know this chapter kinda sucks but I needed another chapter so I can start my next. I don't know when I will next be updating because I have to go somewhere for a month and I will hardly have any access to a computer. I will try to get one in with in the next month though. Well anyways, thank you to much to all of those who have reviewed:

Nightmare-Chan22 – I am really glad that you like my story, and that I have got you to like Sev/Rem. I will see what I can do with your request.

Abragini – I am happy you like my story. I think that the people who read it like my story much more than I do.

Someone belated – I was wondering where you went and was telling my friend that you give good advice. Personality with Severus is really hard; I never know what he should say or how he should react to things. I do know I have a problem with writing my characters personality, but I am trying to work on it still. Thank you for reviewing and for the advice.

Gold-Saiyaness – Thank you for telling me to put a warning up, I didn't even think of it. I am really sorry about that scene, now that I think about it I think I shouldn't even have put that part in. I am glad you like my story.

Sunflower Seeds – You will see in the next few chapters.

Pixyfairy120 – Thank you for reviewing.

Mrs. Luna Potter – Hey, I hope you are feeling better, thank you for reviewing. I will try to see what I can do.

Chaeli.meep. – Thank you for reviewing.

Okay, well a lot of you have been asking the same question and I don't want you to get upset and stop reading my story because of this. I am a huge fan of Sirius/Remus too but they are NOT getting back together. I can't see anyway that they can. Sirius has already messed up too much. I do like Sirius/Remus a little better than Severus/Remus, but this story is a Sev/Rem. I am very sorry to all those who are not too happy about this but it's just the way it is. Thank you.)
