"Alright Rolanda, pay up."

"Aw come on."

"You know that Remus won."

"Well I mean, what were the chances. I've never seen Severus lose at anything. That must have been some dog."

"Yes Rolanda, yes it was."

"Why does Albus have to be such a meddling old fool?"

"What do you have against fools Severus? The world is full of them."

"Which is precisely why I hate them."

Severus opened the door to the file room. It was filled with cabinets overflowing with papers. There were folders and piles of paper on every flat surface. There was the smallest path down the center that a three year old would have had problems walking through.

"Urgh, there's got to be records here from the beginning of the universe."

"Tell me about it."

"No wonder Minerva refused to help."

"Do you think we could get away with saving this job for students in detention?"

"No, but it's nice to know that you're coming up with new methods to torture your students, Severus."

"I never miss an opportunity."

"Where to begin?"

"How about we start on the far side of the room and work our way back to the door?"

"Sounds like a plan. But how are we going to organize them?"

"By the year they started and then we'll put them in alphabetical order."

"Severus, can you just kill me now."

"Ah, but where's the fun in that?" Snape said mocking Dumbledore.

"You're horrible."

"So they tell me."

"You're cheeky."

"And you are the world's biggest procrastinator." Remus just laughed. He took in the room with dismay. "I'll start over there and you can start over here."

After an hour of working in silence Remus was incredibly fed up. The work was monotonous. And on top of that his fingers had several small cuts on them. I feel like I'm back in school, being punished for causing trouble.

"Severus I'm bored."

"And you're a whiner."

"Why don't we talk to make the time go faster?"

"Remus, I hope you're not functioning under the delusion that I feel anything other than loathe towards you."

"No I'm not, but well I'm not used to all the quiet. Life's been far too quiet lately."

"Tonks has been awfully quiet at the last couple of Order meetings."

"She and S-Sir-Sirius were really close." Snape seemed to soften in just the slightest.

"So were you. I mean he was your best friend." Remus looked away as he felt his eyes start to water. It wouldn't do to cry in front of Snape. "Yes, we were." The silence was deafening and the room was full of tension.

"I tried to contact Albus as quickly as possible but nobody knew where he was."

Could it be? No surely not, Severus couldn't feel the slightest bit guilty, could he? He wouldn't blame himself. No Severus was unfeeling when it came to everything.

"It wasn't your fault. Sirius would have gone regardless. Nobody could hurt his cub. He was too much of a Gryffindor to stay."

"Well we all know how bold Gryffindor's can be. If I recall correctly it was you and Black who felt the need to turn my robes neon green on more than one occasion."

"Are you trying to lighten the mood Severus Snape?"

"And if I am?"

"I'd tell the world, but no one would believe me."

"Aw what a shame."

"Getting to sentimental for you, was it?"

"Yes. I don't know what I'd do with a balling werewolf. You'd send Minerva running and she'd have my hide. Wouldn't even give me the chance to make some pitiful excuse."

"Good old Minerva."

"Yeah sure, maybe if you're a Gryffindor."

"Come on, we all know Minerva is impartial."
"Not when it come to Quidditch."

"Ha."

"HA what?"

"Now I've got you procrastinating too."

"So?"

"So ha, indeed."

"You're wacked."

"No I'm Remus."

"Sure you are."

"So if I'm Remus who are you?"

"I'm the Sarcastic-Bastardized-Greasy-Hook-Nosed-Bat-Of-The-Dugeons-Hogwarts-Resident-Potions-Master."

"Wow, I think you've outdone Harry."

"Of course. I couldn't live with myself if I could not outdo my sixth year students."

"You could have stopped with 'I couldn't live with myself' because if I was you I wouldn't be able to live with myself."

"Which is precisely why you're not me."

"We really should get back to work."

"Yeah fine."

Brinkley, Brent, Brephaven, Bulbo, Bultzy. Poor kid. I'd hate to have the last name Bultzy. Calnip, Cashilple, Catneliee, Celinelius, Celiper, Cleary, Clashall, Clapnelley.

"Hey Severus, what's the worst name you've come across?"

"Titpeniboobly."

"Oh that's horrible. All the bad thoughts that go with that name."

"Yeah, tell me about it. How about you?"

"Natdinsinapolaogrophynalis. Or something like that."

"Oh I could imagine saying 'Miss Natdinsinapolaogrophynalis 100 points from Gryffindor for your horribly long name.'"

"Yeah, except there's one problem with that statement. She's a Slytherin."

"Stupid people with incredibly long names who ruin my fun."

"Doesn't everyone ruin your fun?"

"Yes, but that's beside the point."

"Do you remember Bertha?"

"Jorkins?"

"Yeah her. She was so nosey. She got killed by Wormtail," he spat the name like it was venom, "a few years back."

"Are you going to kill him?"

"Who? The murdering, traitoring, bastard. Yes if I get the chance."

"I never had you down as the aggressive Marauder. James or Sirius would have done it if they'd been in my shoes."

"I use to think you didn't fit with them. Now I know why they were friends with you."

"Yes, I know my good looks are stunning."

"No not that, besides you're butt ugly. But you're a conniving, trouble-making, sarcastic, procrastinating bastard."

"Thank you."

"Any time. I enjoy insulting you."

"Trust me the feeling is mutual."

"Aren't most of our feeling mutual when it comes to hating each other?"

"Yes, Bertha caught me reading Play Wizard once. I had to blackmail her to keep her quiet."

"No not Remus Lupin?"

"Yes me indeed. I was the won they called the playboy. Everybody else always thought it was Sirius."

"I'm just as guilty as the rest I suppose. So how does Tonks like the heightened libido from your lycanthropy?"

"Don't tell her I said this, but she loves it."

"Whoa, wait. You've actually slept with her?"

"Yeah. So what."

"How'd you manage that one?"

"Well Tonks and I were mad at each other. So Sirius looked us in a closet and told us that we couldn't get out until we made up. So he stole our wands and left us there. Well when you're in a small cramped space, feeling slightly horny, and stuck with a beautiful woman things happen."

"I never would have guessed."

"Sirius flipped when Tonks thanked him for letting her get what she wanted. I slowly tortured him by not telling him what she meant. Finally I caved. His face was priceless. He was so mad that we wouldn't give him credit for it. It was hilarious."

"I may torture my students, but you, you torture your friends."

"Guilty as charged."

"We haven't even made a dent in this mess. I say we stop for tonight. Let's go nick some food from the kitchens."

"You really are a miscreant. Of course. I couldn't call myself a Marauder if I wasn't."

"I'm beginning to think I may not hate your guts for all eternity."

"Nope you won't. You'll just hate me forever."

"I suppose I can live with that."

"Well good, because you're going to have to."

"I say we leave Dumbledore a little thank you."

"Yes, we can leave him it tonight, for him to find it tomorrow."

"Dumbledore better watch out. He's got a lot of pranks headed his way."

"If I know him, he'll take it in stead."

"He'd better. Otherwise I'm blaming you."

"Not if I pin it on you first."

"Just go ahead and try Severus Snape. Go ahead and try."

"Oh I will."
