Chapter Two - A Friendly Talk


Severus had not seen Remus in three weeks. He had been on Order business, but he was sure that Remus was being taken god care of. In the last week alone he hand even been given a special assignment. Severus weaved threw the streets of Knockturn alley. He looked over at a building that had been closed. The same one that Remus had once stayed in.

Severus moved on, never giving it a second glance. He was suppose to get to number twelve, Grimmauld place before dark. A meeting was to begin at six, maybe I could steal a moment with Remus, he thought. He found what he was looking for, a tiny little house on the end of the alley. He walked in and surveyed the home, it really wasn't a home, it was little shop where he could get more than dark articles, but information.

A rather old, ratty man with grey hair and bald patches on his head appeared out of the back of the house. "Hello Mr. Snape. What can I do for you?" Severus moved his eyes over to the books, a signal for info. The old man took out as sheet of paper and gave it to Severus. "Thank you for coming." Severus bowed and walked out.

Severus apparated to Grimmauld Place in a blink of any eye. He knock on the door and was let in by Remus himself. Remus threw himself at his lover.

"I thought you would never come back." Remus said, crying.

"I will never leave you. But you do know that school is starting soon. I need to be away from you a lot." They had moved from the door to a dark corner.

"I can't stand you being away from me. I need you." Remus kissed his lover with all his might. Hoping that the kiss would make Severus forget about all else.

"We have tonight and the rest of the week before school."

"I want to be with you." Severus noticed that Remus had been getting to be like a spoiled child. He know why but still Remus was getting on his nerves. Severus sighed.

"Remus stop acting like a child." Remus was hurt and showed his by hanging his head.

"I do not mean to I just do no not want to lose you again. I am sorry." Severus sighed again and ran a hand through his hair. It was not Remus' fault but is was hard for Severus to be wanted.

"No I am sorry, Remus, I know that you love being with me and I love being with you. You are just so needy."

"I know. And I'm sorry."

"Do not be." Severus said kissing him lightly. "Let us get through the meeting then we will make love."

-----

Severus had to stay behind. So Remus went up stairs to talk to Sirius. As he entered his friends room he was greeted by Buckbeck. "Hi boy." He looked over to a corner where Sirius was reading. But he put the book down when Remus came near him. "Am I a little kid around Severus?" He asked as he sat down next to his friend.

"Yes." Black answered.

"I knew it."

"But don't worry about it."

"I can not help but worry. I am afraid that he will leave me again."

"Might I remind you that you left him." Sirius said as he hugged his friend.

"I know." Remus gathered his legs in his arms and brought his knees to his crest.

"I am going down to check on dinner. Do you want to come?" Remus shook his head. "Ok." Sirius walked out of the room and down the stairs but came face to face with Snape. "Hey, Snape I need to talk to you. It is about Remus."

"Very well." Snape said, stopping in front of Black. If it was about Remus he would hear.

"Remus came to talk to me. He is afraid that you will leave him."

"But I told…" Severus started but Sirius interrupted him.

"He is fragile I know and he is like a little kid. I know. But he still healing and in his mind he sees that you will be tired of him. He has come and talked to be before. He has asked what he should do to make you happy."

"To make me happy?" Severus questioned.

"Yes. He will give everything to you. He did that once before when you were in school. But know he is a grown man and he is going back to the childish state, because you two were happy with that. Just talk to him. Before he goes over the deep." Sirius moved passed him to the kitchen. Severus took a deep breath and walked up to Remus room.

-----

Remus had come back to his room not two minutes before Severus came in.

"Remus you are not annoying me." Was the first thing that came to Severus lips.

"But I fell that I am." Remus said.

"You are not." Severus sat down next to Remus on the bed.

"Do you want to make love?"

"Not until we straighten this out." Severus took Remus hands in his own. "I love you more than life. I should have never broke up with you in school and never let you go a year ago. I have been lost since then. I love you." Remus broke down in Severus' arms.

"I am trying to d…do the best. Mr. Tel…eto told me th…that I want no better than a whore. He s…aid that I would be g…good for sex and that was i…it."

"Well that scum sucking bitch is gone. And you are more than a sex toy. Not that I don't like sex, but you are a person. My love. I will forever protect you." Remus kissed Severus. He wanted Severus to want him again. And it seemed that Severus didn't mind that Remus had been raped but a mad man. That his body was still in poor health. It just mattered that Severus was with Remus.


A/N: I really don't like this chapter to much. But I was tired of having it unwritten. So PLEASE do not kill me if it is not that good.
