Cheated –Chapter 22:
"Hey Sev over here!" Remus called waving a hand. Severus looked over, grabbed his traveling bag and walked over to him. They only needed a small traveling bag as Severus and Remus were only staying over for two days. They were about to enter the Headmaster's Office.
"Do you know the password?" Severus asked.
"No, but I can guess."
"Really? How would in the world would you be able to guess, he has probably made a password that nobody can even think of."
"Well then you obviously have not been in there too often." The werewolf smiled.
"How many times have you been in there then?" Severus asked raising a brow.
"Too many times to count." Remus replied, Severus looked at him strangely, "I mean, being with the Marauders…tends to get you in a lot of…trouble. Then there is my lycanthropy that had to be discussed. We haven't been in there that much this year though."
"Well I have only been in there twice. Once you know of and another time before that. Well anyway, what do you think the password is?"
"Anything that is a sweet or candy that's muggle or magic." Remus said.
Severus looked at him again, "Are you serious?"
"Yes, now start guessing! Um…how about…lemon drop?" he said looking up at the gargoyle, nothing happened.
"Milky Way?"
"Skittles?"
"Sugar Quills?"
"100 Grand?" Remus asked, the suddenly the gargoyle moved. "That was quick! Come on."
"That was too easy, almost anyone could get in," Severus said following his boyfriend up the stairs.
When they got the top of the stairs they were just about to knock on the door when Dumbledore said, "Come on in."
"Hello Dumbledore," Remus greeted.
"Hi Headmaster," Severus said shyly.
"So you have decided to take Severus I see?" Dumbledore asked, Remus nodded wondering how he knew that he was taking someone, but then again, he knew everything that went on. "Over here are you best be on your way." He said standing next to the fire place holding out some floo powder.
"Thank you Dumbledore." The amber eyed boy said grabbing a handful of the powder, he stepped into the fire place and said, "Number 68, Lupin's Home." And he was gone.
"Thanks," Severus said copying his boy friend, "Number 68, Lupin's Home." The next thing the Slytherin knew he was sprawled out on the floor of Remus' living room.
"Severus get up," Remus grabbed his hand helping him up.
"Thanks," he said, and then he looked around and saw Remus' Mother and Father standing there. His father has a strange look in his eyes.
"Mum, Dad, this is Severus Snape, my friend. Sev, this is my Mum, Cathrine and my Dad, Aidan." Remus introduced.
"Hello Severus," Cathrine greeted.
"Hi," Severus smiled.
"Remus, you didn't tell me that you were going to bring a friend over." Aidan said with a dark look coming across his face and quickly fading away.
"Um…"
"I asked if he wanted to bring friend, but I wasn't going to tell you until it was official, but I guess I forgot to tell you when I got his letter back." Cathrine said.
"Well…okay but you two better behave."
"Alright boys, you go drop your things off in you room and come back because I have lunch made for you guys." Remus' mom told him.
"Okay, we'll be there soon mum." He gave her a hug and gestured Severus to follow him.
When they got into the bedroom Severus saw that Remus had a queen sized bed in the center of the back of the room. There was a desk to the right covered in neatly stacked books and papers and cups of quills. He had a book case over flowing with books on the other side of the room and a few posters of some wizard bands and muggle movies. The walls were painted a dark blue and there was a window at the head of the bed. "I like your room," he said setting down his bag next to the desk.
"It's pretty plain; I can do what ever I want with it though. We need to get to the kitchen and remember, we can't show any sign that we are together." The werewolf warned.
"I know, now let's go."
When they entered the kitchen they saw a table full of food made by the house elf named Tony. Cathrine and Aidan were already sitting, waiting for them. Remus sat down followed by Severus. "Okay then, let's start."
"So, Severus, what house are you in?" Aidan asked taking a bite of his corn.
"Slytherin."
He raised his eyes brows, "Oh really?" he said suspiciously. "Making friends with Slytherins now son?"
"He doesn't belong in Slytherin Dad." Remus told him taking a bite of his chicken.
"Why not?"
"He just doesn't belong; I have no clue why he was put there in the first place."
"Let him speak for himself, Remus!" His father warned glaring.
"Yes Sir," the werewolf mumbled.
"What happened to Black, Potter, and that other kid…what was his name again?"
"Peter Pettigrew father, Peter went with James to his house and Sirius, I haven't a clue, and the two of us aren't exactly on speaking terms right now." Remus told them.
"Oh dear, why not? I thought Sirius was your best friend." Mrs. Lupin said.
"It's nothing to worry about mum"
"If you say so."
After that they just ate in silence. With Aidan giving Snape suspicious looks, Cathrine just enjoying dinner, Severus trying to not look at Remus' father, and Remus trying to eat and every once in a while glancing at his boy friend.
When dinner was over, Remus said, "I will help clean up."
"There is no need dear, we have a house elf now, remember?" Mrs. Lupin reminded her son.
"Oh yeah, okay then, we will be in my room."
Remus headed to his room with Severus behind him, once they got in the room the werewolf said, "That was kinda awkward."
"Yeah, I wonder why your dad was looking at me all strangely." He said sitting on Remus' bed.
"It's because he doesn't like Slytherins. He was in Hufflepuff and my mum was in Ravenclaw." Remus explained.
"Oh, well then how the hell did you end up in Gryffindor?" the dark haired boy questioned.
"I guess it's because of the wolf. He has many Gryffindor qualities. I have a lot of Ravenclaw qualities from my mum too." He said jumping to lie down on the bed. "What house do you think I should be in?"
"I mix between Ravenclaw and Gryffindor." Severus replied.
They could hear foot steps coming up to the room, Remus quickly sat up just as the door opened. Cathrine popped her head in the door, "Severus, do you want to sleep on the couch or on another bed for tonight?"
Severus and Remus looked at each other, "No thank you Mrs. Lupin."
"Oh you have such good manners. Are you sure?" She asked, they both nodded, "Alright then, I will be in the living room if you need anything."
"Thanks mum, we'll be okay. Bye."
"Bye, you two." With that she left the room.
"Hey, Rem?" Severus asked.
"Yeah?"
"Where do you transform here?"
"Oh, um…I transform in a shed that has metal walls and a metal door so I can't get loose. We put up a lot of silencing charms on it so no one can hear, even though we live pretty far away from kind of civilization. Why do you ask?"
"I was just wondering…could I see it?" Severus asked.
"I guess, I really don't like to go there, but I guess I can show you."
"We don't have to if you don't feel comfortable with it." The dark haired boy offered, lying back on the bed, slightly showing a bit of his thin and pale stomach.
"No it's okay, I don't mind." He fell down on the bed and rolled on top of his boy friend. He kissed him but Severus pulled away.
"What if one of your parents walks in?" he asked with a worried look. "Your dad would probably kick my ass."
"Probably," he rolled off of him and stood up, "So you want to go now?"
"Sure why not?" Severus said standing back up.
Remus opened the door and Severus followed him out. When they got to the living room they saw Remus' mum sewing something up. "Mum we'll be out side, I just want to show him some stuff."
"You go ahead, have fun."
"Bye mum."
"Bye Mrs. Lupin!"
"You don't have to call me Mrs. Lupin dear, it's Cathrine." She smiled.
"Okay Cathrine, see you later."
"Bye."
The couple left out of the door, "Damn, you really do live out in the middle of no where don't you?"
"Yeah, it's because of my Lycanthropy. Otherwise we would be living in a city with lots of people." He took a big breath, "I like it here though, you can breathe, see the stars at night, and do what ever you want with out any annoying neighbors trying to bug you."
"Yeah I guess that would be pretty nice."
"It is. The shed is over there, you see it?" Remus pointed towards it. The shed was hidden by a bunch of trees and large bushes, pretty far away from the house.
"Yeah, could we go over there?" Severus asked.
"I guess but there isn't anything interesting over there." He said walking towards it.
"What I think is interesting is where you transform. I would like to see the Shrieking Shack too, not many people go in there now. There are also a lot of rumors about that place" He said with a bit of curiosity in his voice.
"Well since I have come to Hogwarts the only people that have been in there are Professor Dumbledore, Madam Pomfrey, Sirius, James, Peter, and you but not for long I don't think."
"You showed the Marauders?" Severus raised a brow and almost tripped over a rock.
Remus reached for Severus' arm just to make sure he didn't all the way. "Be careful! But yeah we used to go in there all the time. We didn't this year, a lot has happened."
They got to the shed and went inside. "Ah it's pretty nasty in here." Severus said. The walls were covered in shredded carpet with stains of blood on them. Under the carpet was metal just as Remus had said. "So your transformations must be really bad huh?"
"I haven't gotten used to them, but they have gotten better." Remus told him coming up to him and hugging him. "My parents won't look in here, so we can do what ever we want." The werewolf then placed a light kiss on Severus' lips.
"Yeah but this place is pretty bad," Severus said giving him a kiss back. "We should probably leave."
"I guess you're right."
"When's the next full moon?" Severus said stepping out of the shed and looking up at the sky that was not quite dark yet.
"In ten days, so I don't feel much from the moon right now, but I will about three days away from the full moon." Remus locked up the shed and put the key back in his pocket. "I need to get my mom to cast another cleaning spell in that place, it is getting pretty nasty."
"Yeah." Severus sighed. They started walking back to the house. By the time they got back to the house it was almost dark and it was time for dinner. Dinner wasn't as awkward as lunch was. When they finished Severus and Remus went to the bedroom to talk for a little while and then go to sleep.
Right when they were getting ready for bed in just a shirt and boxers, Mrs. Lupin came back in and asked, "Are you sure you don't want to sleep on the couch or somewhere else. I can transfigure a cot for you."
"No thanks Mrs. Lupin, I am fine here." Severus said.
She gave him a strange look, "Well if you say so…Oh and its Cathrine remember?"
"Oh, sorry Cathrine."
"Well goodnight you boys," She said kissing Remus' forehead and leaving the room.
After she left the amber eyed boy locked the door and got in bed as Severus did. "Hey Sev?"
"Yeah?"
"After Hogwarts, do you want to live together?" Remus asked snuggling up to his boy friend.
"Sure, as long as we get to do this all the time. I will soon inherit some money from my family so we can use that to buy a house."
"I have been saving up some money for a place. But I am not sure how I am going to get a job with being a werewolf." Remus said sadly.
"Maybe you can work in a few wizarding places and if it doesn't work out then I guess you can work as a muggle. They won't notice as quickly. What do you want to be anyway?" Severus asked.
"I wanted to be the Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher. But I don't see Professor K giving in any time soon."
"Really? I wanted to be the same thing. But if that wasn't free, I wanted to become the next Potions master. Professor Schmitt looks like he wants to leave soon; maybe I can get that one." Severus said running a hand through Remus' sandy brown hair.
"You would make a good Potions master." Remus complimented.
"If you had to have a muggle job what would it be?"
"I would have to say a librarian."
"Oh really?"
Suddenly they heard something at the window. The two looked up to look at it and there was someone there trying to open it. "Who is it?" Remus demanded.
"It's Sirius." The person outside answered finally getting the widow open and popping his head in.
"Sirius? What the hell are you doing here?" Remus said just as Sirius caught site of Severus Snape.
(A/N: I made this chapter a lot faster than I thought and I think it is incredibly boring. I just wanted to at another chapter in before I leave for a month. I am hoping that the next chapter will be much better. I might get one more in but I don't know if I can do it. Well anyways, Thank you to:
Chaeli.meep. – You were fast to review! Only after having the chapter up for 11 minutes I got a review and I was shocked. Thank you for reviewing.
Abragini – I am still sorry about Siri and Remy not getting back together, but I don't see anyway how that would be possible. I will see what I can do though. Thanks for reviewing.
Nightmare-chan22 – Thanks for reviewing and I am really glad that I got you to like Sev/Rem. I am glad you love them.
To everyone else, please, please, please review. Thank you.)
