A/N: It's already been such a long week, I'm so ready to be done with it. The hell is wrong with all the horny teens in this town? It's ridiculous. Honestly, how do they think they can be ready for the real world if they are doing this bs?
This may be a little cliche but I think the SS/RL is accurate this way.

After we were all done with our breakfast we all approached the staff table just below were Headmistress Mcgonagall sits. I shuffle a bit uncomfortable with the height at which the woman was able to look down her nose at us. She was an intimidating figure and the table separating us made it even worse. "We would like to request that Harry move out of the male dorm, Headmistress." Pansy said not giving any signs of discomfort. "I see, does want this change?" the feline animagus asked leaning over the table. I spoke up "Potter isn't able to speak Headmistress but he has lost a well known bet with these girls. I am here to vouch for the wager." The Headmistress looked at Harry who had his head bowed. "Very well. What will his sleeping arrangements be?" she asked.
"The girls and I will ask the elves to move an extra bed into the female dormitory. He will be staying with us." Lavender spoke up smiling. Hermione gave a little sound of indignation at the mention of the small creatures which earned an eye roll from Pansy and I as well as a small downturn of the Headmistress's lips. "I will see to it that the other heads of house know about the new arrangement. You students should go and get all of 's belongings that are not in his trunk from the male dorm. This once I'll give you girls permission to enter the male dormitory." the headmistress nodded and dismissed us getting back to her half eaten breakfast.
I let out a small sigh and I see Harry try to do the same, it didn't have sound but I noticed anyway and patted him on the shoulder. "Have a good day Headmistress and thank you." Hermione herded the girls with her as Harry and I tried to get away and back to the common room. I bumped Harry with my shoulder and he bumped back. I sighed. It was going to be a long week. Not only will I wonder about Harry's crush but I'll also worry about what these crazy females are up to and what they are trying to do to the poor small man that they have forced into silence. I peeked down at said man. I wondered how he was taking this. Maybe he was already used to odd things happening around him at the random.
I looked down the hall. Sighing once again. It felt like it had been days since I woke up in the dorm. I was so tired and the day didn't show any sign of speeding up so I could get a good rest. I might have released a year's worth of sighs.

I finished another potion putting another on hiatus and cleaning a cauldron so when I got back from Lupin's rooms I could start another. I wasn't a busy weekend but it definitely wasn't a slow one either, after all everyone needed a potion or two whether they be a simple pepper up or a wizards' cold relief. It was a demanding business but it makes me happy, or as close as I get to happy. I closed the portrait to my rooms heading out of the dungeons and to the wolf's room. The portrait was of two twin boys. One much smaller and frail and he other more brave and feral. "What is your business with the kind wolf man?" the bigger twin asked holding onto the smaller more scared boys hand.
"He asked me to visit and give my opinion on some issue he is having. Don't ask questions just get the wolf so my business here can be done." I snip softening my glare for the sake of the smaller twin. He reminded me of someone, I don't remember who but I had the urge to offer the young boy a smile. I hadn't done that for sometime so I just softened my gaze so he didn't find me too intimidating.
The portrait opened not soon after a flustered dog waving me in. "Severus, Severus come in, come in." He looked ruffled like he had been running his hand through his hair for hours and his shirt's buttons where missmatched his skin exposed a little more than usual at the top. All in all he looked like a mess, a mess that had been thoroughly shagged. I stiffened a little looking around the warmly lit room and homey atmosphere. "Sit, please sit." Remus motioned to the light brown leather coach. I comply a little stiffly. "Do you want coffee, scotch?" He sat on the edge of a matching recliner. He kept fidgeting.
"It's barely 2 in the afternoon Lupin it's not time for either of those drinks but tea would be acceptable." I scowl a bit shifting back farther on the couch. "Tea right tea." He called an elf which arrived with pre made tea. I accepted a cup from the small creature nodding in thanks. It popped out of the room leaving us in silence. Minutes latter I spoke "Lupin if you're not going to get down to business then I'm going to leave and you'll have to track me down some other time." I start to stand from the plush coach. Remus sprung to his feet before I could even finish the sentence. "NO...no I'm just trying to think how to bring this up as if it's normal." I hear him mutter after 'How does Harry do this?'
If this was as random or odd as something Potter would say he would have already said it as if it were nothing, like it happened every day. I nod a little and sat back down on the couch. It was comfortable, unfamiliar but comfortable. The leather was soft and the cushions had just the right amount of stuffing. "Don't think of what Potter would say. Think about what you would say." I tell him a little exasperated. His eyes widened and he nodded a little. "Okay yeah," He tapped his stubble covered chin sitting back down in the chair getting more comfortable than his previous position on the edge of the cushion.
I wait for him to formulate the words in his head. If I listen close enough maybe I'll be able to hear the gearrs turning? Remus's brow furrowed and I swear there was a tail swishing back and forth while ears were flattened on the top of his head. "I...I've been trying to seal a bond of sorts and well I don't think the things I have been doing have worked on my end." the wolf put his hand under his chin and rested his elbow on his knee while his other arm sat in the crooke of his arm his legs spread far apart in a masculine pose. I can't help my reaction to what he says though. My eyebrows raise and my mouth opens enough for me to worry about what might spill out. "You have tried to seal a natural bond, and you're a creature… does that mean you…" Nice Snape, very eloquent. "Yeah," He scratches the top of his head "it's my mate bond."
