It had been a week since Professor Lupin had 'disappeared' and Harry was beginning to think that he had left. However on Monday morning Harry walked into the DADA classroom to find an extremely sick looking Professor Lupin leaning against the desk next to Professor Black.

"Professor Lupin you're back!" He said excitedly. He was finally back.

"I should hope so, otherwise you're hallucinating." Lupin replied. Harry could stop himself from smiling. Professor Lupin had a dry sense of humour, which was one of the main reasons Harry liked him.

"Hope you don't mind me asking Professor, but why were you gone so long?" Harry asked, hoping to get a proper answer.

"I was too well to be completely honest, Harry. But don't worry I'm fine now." Lupin replied. His smile had almost completely disappeared which just made him look worse than he already did. But as quick as it disappeared it reappeared as the rest of the class filed into the room and taking their seats.

Amongst the class there were whispers of 'he's finally back' or 'he doesn't look very well at all, maybe he's back too soon'.

"Alright class settle down. I know how marvellous it is to see the wonderful Professor Lupin back, but we have work to do." Professor Black said while trying not to laugh. The boys laughed and the girls blushed and Harry groaned. Even though Professor Lupin looked like hell, the girls still seemed to think he was as gorgeous as ever. When will it stop?

Harry got back to the common room later that day after all his classes and just before dinner. He dropped off all his books and waited for Ron and Hermione to get back to the common room before heading off down to the dinner hall. The left the common room and were on their way to the Great hall for dinner when the all heard two people speaking in hushed voices. They looked down the corridor opposite the entrance to the Great hall to see Professors Lupin and Black. They didn't see the harm in listening in and hid in the shadows near the two whispering Professors.

"Stop worrying Remus. Only four people know and we are two of them. There is nothing to worry about." Professor Black said.

"I know but he doesn't like either of us very much and all it takes is for one of us to piss him off and we-I'm screwed." Lupin replied, his tone of voice clearly filled with worry.

"Well then, it looks like we are going to have to behave ourselves then aren't we." Black replied grinning.

"You behave? That would be a sight to see." Lupin replied with a small smile.

"Excuse me; you know how well I can behave." Black replied his smile widening as he spoke.

"I'm positive that was not you behaving, if I remember rightly, that is." Lupin deadpanned.

"Would you like to see how well I can behave then, Remus?" Sirius retorted.

"I don't think I want to, to be honest." Lupin replied and the two walked off, into the great hall, leaving a shocked Harry, Ron and Hermione behind.

"I'm sorry, correct me if I'm wrong, but were they flirting?" Harry asked his equally shocked friends.

"They can't have been, I mean remember Harry Professor Black does flirt with anyone and everyone." Hermione replied.

"I know that but what about Professor Lupin he was flirting back, wasn't he?"

"They have been friend for a long time. Maybe they are always like that when students aren't around. Anyway, what I want to know it what Professor Lupin is so worried about. That the real question here, isn't it." Hermione said, changing the subject.

"Yeah is suppose so. However we can finish this conversation later, its dinner time."

The three walked off into the great hall and took their seats at Gryffindor table and began filling their plates with food.

Harry woke up in the middle of the night . H couldn't see or hear anything to show why he had woken at such a late time and decided to look out the window to see if it was Hedwig trying to get in. When he got to the window he couldn't see or hear his Owl but did see the figures of a Wolf and a dog walking towards the Whomping Willow. He checked the time on his watch: 3.52. Why would a dog and a wolf be roaming the grounds at this time during the nigh/morning. Too tired to really care much, he went back to bed and fell asleep- once again- as soon as his head hit the pillow.

Snape's POV

Lupin disappeared for a full week. The students, if they actually have brains, should figure out what is wrong with him and he will have to leave. Hopefully Black will go with him.

Those two seem to be inseparable: they teach classes together, they eat together, they always walk together, and god knows they probably are together. I have caught them whispering to each other more than once. It would make a lot of sense if it turned out that they were actually together. It's not impossible, they have been friends sense their first year at Hogwarts.

Thinking about it, they do appear to be a couple. Great two gay teachers teaching eating and probably sleeping with each other are also two of the men who made my life hell for seven years. Now it's my turn to torment them. I can tease them, blackmail them and make their lives as horrible as they made mine. Revenge is sweet.

Harry's POV

"Hermione have you noticed that Professor Snape looks extremely happy, by his standards at least." Harry said to his friend.

"Yeah. He seems to almost smile whenever he looks at Professors Lupin and Black. Although it's not a nice smile it looks more devious or evil to be honest. I don't like it, I think he's planning something and it has something to do with Lupin and Black." Hermione replied looking worried.

"I agree with you in that. I think we should keep an eye on all three. Lupin and Black to protect them and Snape to make sure he doesn't do anything to them." Harry said.

"I think each one of his should watch a teacher each, I'll take Professor Lupin, Harry you can watch Professor Black and Ron watch Professor Black and make sure he doesn't try to do anything to Lupin or Black."

"Why do I have to get Snape?" Ron complained.

"Because Harry and I get on with Lupin and Black the most." She replied hesitantly and looking way form the boy's eyes.

"No, I think it's because you have some weird crush on Lupin. I'm right aren't i?" Ron said laughing.

"No. I do not have a crush on Professor Lupin." Hermione said and stormed upstairs to the girls dormitory.

Once she was gone Ron turned to Harry. "She definitely has a crush on him." Harry nodded in agreement and smiled. This could be fun after all.

So sorry this chapter has taken so long but I have been really busy. I am working on the next chapter right now and I just hope that I will have it up quicker than this one.

Hope you enjoyed it and please review.

Sorry again.
