Hey guys! Thanks for the lovely reviews and thanks for sticking with are almost done. I don't want to drag this out too much. If anyone wants a longer story I have another one that is longer. I want this to not drag out.

June, 1994

Severus Snape was sitting in front of fire and reading a book. Not just a book, but a muggle book. He would deny the fact that he absolutely loved every book Lily lent him during the summers and never got rid of the annoying habit of reading muggle novels in his spare time. The habit was not only annoying but dangerous. One can be killed for reading these books if one is a Death Eater. He usually used charms to cover these books with covers of old and gruesome-looking Dark Arts books. The fire made the room so hot, he had to use a cooling down spell, but this way it was more comfortable and he loved the crackles the fire made.

"BANG! BANG! BANG!"

Whoever it was at the door, was obviously suicidal. To bang like that at his door and stay alive. Well, we'll see about it. He carefully closed the book, leaving the bookmark in it, and changing the cover from "Great Expectations" to "1001 Greatest Potions," got his wand and walked towards the door.

Remus Lupin would never bang his door like that. The werewolf was too polite for that. This was Polyjuice at its finest. He opened the door, put his wand on Lupin's chest and asked.

"Who are you, that disguising yourself as one of my biggest annoyances is your best bet at my opening the door?"

"Severus, close the door, for Heaven's sake, this Polyjuice is wearing off!"

"Lily?"

"Close your mouth, I am not a Unicorn, just a pissed off woman!"

"Why are you pissed off, as you put it? And why are you using Polyjuice?"

"I cannot imagine me standing in front of your door will go well with your students and their Death Eater parents. I am pissed off because my idiotic friend cost the job of my other idiotic friend. What were you thinking, Severus? Why did you have to go around spreading the rumors?"

"They are not exactly rumors, Lupin is a werewolf! And he almost mauled your son."

"The guilt is enough for him, you didn't have to make it worse! He loved that job!"

"And I love my life. And I am sure your son loves his as well."

"Severus look me in the eyes and say that you didn't do this because he was one of the Marauders!"

"This has nothing to do with it! He and Black wreck havoc wherever they are." He couldn't look in her eyes, however. She was right. There was some old grudges lurking just underneath the surface.

"They were trying to catch know that, but still you chose to go after the innocents!"

"Your son and his friends almost got killed by that beast. Need I repeat this until it sets in?"

"It was an accident, Severus! Just let it go!" Lily was furious with him. That was clear. Severus decided to go for a counterattack.

"You have changed Lily, back in a day, you weren't all that forgiving. Or is it just Gryffindors that are so easily forgiven?"

"Severus, you are such an idiot!"

"At least I don't go running to my girlfriends to cry about how mean Slytherins are."

"Remus did not utter a word, Harry told me an hour ago. Also, I am not his girlfriend."

They were not together! Lily was not in love with the Werewolf. That was not guaranteeing him anything, of course, but life was definitely better with the knowledge that Lily was not in love with Remus Lupin. Severus sat down and sighed. He said intently looking at his hands.

"I don't want to fight with you, Lily. I can't apologize to Lupin, but I can apologize to you." The moment Severus calmed down, so did Lily. She sat down next to him on a couch and looked at him like one would look at a child whom you adore but have to be strict with.

"It didn't affect me in any way, Sev. So I have nothing to forgive you for."

"You are right. It does sound ridiculous. I didn't think about the consequences that would affect him. I was just trying to protect the children. And you may be right about the old grudges."

"Maybe I can find a way for you to apologize. Afterall, it's not me you humiliated all over Britain. And the man did not say a single word against you."

"I am not standing in front a man that almost killed me twice now and asking for forgiveness, even if you ask me, Lil!"

Lily took his hand in hers and looked at him

"I am not asking you to do that, I am asking you to continue brewing the Wolfsbane. Me and Sirius asked everyone, noone seems to know how to brew it properly. Money is not an issue, Sev, Remus swears by that potion."

"What did he do, before this year?" Severus knew he would be brewing the potion, because Lily asked him, he was just curious at this point.

"We used to lock him in one the attic rooms. He begged us I nor Sirius slept the nights. The guilt is just too much, you can't sleep while your friend is suffering like that. Please, Sev, being in control of his humanity for Remus is the only way to fight that disease. I would not bother you, if there was another way. I can't brew it, it's too dangerous if it goes wrong. Please, Sev, do it for me, I know you don't like them, but I am begging you, not they."

"Owls can be intercepted, how can I provide the Potion?"

"O Sev! Thank you, dear! Sev, you are the best! Thank you so much!" Lily hugged him so tight, he could not breathe.

"If you want, I can leave it with Dumbledore, and you can come pick it up. Or he can come drink it, if he can do it without being noticed."

"I will come or Sirius can drop by. As long as Remus has Wolfsbane."

"It was nice seeing you, Lil." He wanted to give Lily the opportunity to leave if she didn't plan to stay. This way she didn't have to pretend to be in a hurry.

"Sev, don't be rude and get me some tea. I am not leaving so soon."

"Oh. So you will stay for a friendly chat? That's great,actually."

"Of course I will! You know some of us miss you, to be honest. What book you are devouring now?" She picked up the book, Severus left on the armchair.

Severus charmed the book back to its original cover.

"It's the "Great Expectations" I just can't be seen with a muggle book, you understand." He said apologetically.

"Actually, I brought you a new one from Terry Pratchett, I just finished his new one, got you a copy as well." She smiled and got the book out of her bag.

"Thanks, Lil. My source to muggle world since we met. Thanks, I love him. I usually go book shopping under Polyjuice. It's the only way to keep one's sanity in this place."

"Oh, c'mon, Sev! It's not that bad. My Harry loves it."

"Your Harry is one of the reasons I hate this place. Your child has no sense of self-preservation."

"I will try to talk to him, but in meantime, thank you for saving his life right and left. Now sit down and let's have a peaceful tea, shall we?"
